In the stables, it is alleged, Dick Turpin had his horse's shoes turned, so as to make his pursuers imagine he had gone in an opposite direc- tion. Among the very oldest of suburban London inns are the Plough at Kinks - bury Green, and the King James and Tinker inn at Enfield. The first is said to be 530 years old, and the latter was reputed to have been first built as an inn and under another name 992 years ago: Its present name is derived from an encounter which King James I. is said to have had with a tinker at the door of the inn. The tinker's conversation so pleased the king• that he made the mend- er of kettles "a knight, with £500. a year," the records of Enfield inform us. London Mail. Grand Trunk Exhibit. World's Fair.

Toronto Bricklaye7r Believed of those Terrible Troubles -Medical Seleneo Makes Another Move Forward. Toronto, Ont., June 6.—(Special.)— Medical science has at length awakened to the fact that Gravel and other blad- der' troubles are caused by disordered kidneys, and that the modern method of curing them is to cure the kidneys with Dodd.'s Kidney Pills. This does away with those terrible operations that in past years have been all too common. The case of William Thomas, briek- layer, 158 Mill street, this city, is one of the recent proofs of the efficiency of the treatment. Mr. Thomas says: "I had been troubled with Gravel and Bladder Disease for seven years. I had to go to .the hospital and have water taken from me. I tried medicines of dif- ferent kinds, but they failed to remove the trouble. "Hearing of cures by them prompted me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and after taking them for a time I passed a stone the size of a large bean. Four boxes of Dodd's -Kidney Pills made a complete cure in my case." DISINFECTANT AND . DUST -LAYER. • Preparation Recently' Placed on the Market in England..

(Routt County, Colorado, Courier.) A lawyer in a court room may call a man a liar, scoundrel, villain or thief, and no one makes a complaint when court was adjourned. If a newspaper prints such reflections on a man's char- acter there is a libel suit or a dead editor. And this is owing to the fact that people believe what an editor says; what a lawyer says cuts no figure. A .Possible Exception. (Buffalo Commercial.)

Even- ing News. Keep Minard's Liniment' in the House. Never Got His Feet Wet. Captain Alexander McKay, F. R. G. S.. commodore of the Cunard fleet, sailed his last voyage on the Lucania before his retirement. He has been at sea 48 years, 34 of them in the service of the Cunard Company, 14 of whose vessels he has commanded. For one with so long an ex- perience, his record is probably -unique. As he puts it himself: "I have never met with a disaster in my life, never lost a ship, never grounded, never ran any- body down, never was run down by any- body, haven't even had my feet washed by salt water since I went to sea."

Desolate Though the FFrozen SeaIs, It Inas Many Attractions, One of the most vivid descriptions of arctic scenery, ever penned is given by Harry De Wiiidt in his book, °Paris to New York by Land" In it he gives the follolving picture a the Arctic Sea: "Place a piece of coal' sprinkled with salt on a white tablecloth, a few inches offit scatter some lump sugar, and it will give you ;in miniature a very fair presentment of the scenery, The coal is the bleak coast line, continually swept clear of snow by furious gales; the sugar, sea ice, and the cloth frozen beach over which we journeyed for over 160 miles, The dreary outlook never changed; occa- sionally the cliffs vanished and our way would lie • across the tundras—marshy plains—which in summer encircle the Polar Sea with a belt of verdure and wild flowers, but which in winter time are merged with the frozen ocean in one boundless, bewildering wilderness of white. In ,hazy ,weather land and sky formed one impenetrable veil, with no horizon as dividing line, when, even at a short distance away, men and dog sleds resembled flies crawling up a white curtain. "But on clear days, unfortunately rare, the blue sky was Mediterranean, and at such times the bergs out at sea would flash like jewels in the full blaze of the sunshine, while blocks of dark green ice, half buried in snow under shadow of the cliff's, would appear for all the world like "cabochon" emeralds drop- ped into a mass of whipped. cream. But the reverse of this picture was depress- ing in the extreme. For on cloudy days the snow would assume a leaden ap- pearance, and the sea ice become a slate gray, with dence banks of woolly, white fog encircling the dismal scene. Fair and foul weather in the Arctic reminded me of some beautiful woman, bejeweleo and radiant amid lights and laughter, and the same divinity landing disheveled, pale and seasick from the deck of a channel steamer."

The clock eotuprises a small tube, in which is plated a minute quantity of radium supported in an exhausted giass vessel by a quart rod. To the lower end of the tube, which is colored violet by the action of the radium, an electro- scope formed of two long leaves or strips of silver is attached. A charge of electricity, in which there are no beta rays, is transmitted through the activity of the radium into the leaves, and the latter thereby expand until they toueb the sides of the vessel, connected to earth by wires, which in- stantly conduct the electric charge, and the leaves fall together. This simple operation is repeated in- cessantly every two minutes until the radium is exhausted, which hi this in- stance it is computed will occupy 30,- 000 years.—Scientific American.

Strangers in New York are often heard to complain of the brusque treatment they receive in churches, either from the ushers or the owners of pews to which they may be shown. They do not, of course, realize that many of these persons pay several thousand dollars a year for their seats and naturaly expect to have them oc- cupied in the way they desire. One woman from out of town wont to a fashionable church on Sunday and told the usher she wanted to sit in the pew of a lady who had invited her. He made no movement, and she repeated her request to be shown to the pew of Mrs. X., who had invited her to share it. She was somewhat insistent now, as the service was beginning. "Mrs. X. has only one seat in this church," answered the usher, gravely, "and she is occupying it herself at pre. sent. But if you will wait, I will try to find room for you elsewhere." Then the lady drd wait until a seat was found for here—New York Sun. precocity. Nodd—You don't mean to say your child said all those bright things?' Todd—Yes, sir.

The situation in the Confederatllon that exists to -day is not a very pleasant one. The various experiments in State ownership have not proved remunerat- ive, as they are not managed as econom- ically as are private enterprises. The railroads show deficits and are a burden on the treasury. The general paternal- istic programme required large sums of money which have been borrowed from England. Now Australia's demands for adliltional oars are respectfully nega- tived. Her credit is not very good. And, most aminous sign of all, there are more people leaving that continent to -day than are entering it. In fact, during the last decade Vietoria has lost 112,000 more people by emigration than she gained by immigration. During 1002 and 1903 the emigration from New South Wales has also exceeded the ar- rivals by a largo number.

In. order that the poor editors [at the St. Louis Fair] night have something to spend on the Pike, Ryrie Bros., of Toronto, presented them with leather coin purses containing two newly minted cents, and gave their wives silver pencil cases to keep account of how their hus- bands spent the money. lu.nowing that editors are peculiarly subject to nervous headaches, the Royal Distillery of Ham- ilton sent several bottles and flasks of whiskey for medical purposes; whilst the Tuckett Tobacco Company distrib- uted cigars, pipes and tobacco in abund- ance.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken in- ternally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby des- troying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in cluing its work.
