Aitkin, when in Scotland' last summer, copied from a tombstone irk IdIliesleaf Kirk yard an interesting inscription. It reads: • Stop, traveller, as you go by, I once bad. lite and breath, But falling from a steeple high I swiftly passed through death. r.Cake you example by my fate, And be by .me. advised, Repent before it is too late - Lest you be so surprised. Connection with the inscription is an interesting story. James Hunter, a Wright or carpenter, a young man of 28, on October 17th, 1863, Was engaged with two other workmen in repairing a very high steeple on a Jeaburgh church. A bar was to be placed in a hole near the top of the steeple. Hunter volnteered to make the ascent and reaching the top he trembled for a moment and called down, "Which hole?" "He's going to fall," one workplan said to the other. "Re sees two holes and there is only one." The words were scarcely said when Hunter released his grip and fell crashing to the ground.—Galt Reporter. SAYS HE WAS .A. TOTAL 1NRECK But Dodd's Kidney Pills (lave Him a New Lease of Life. Geo. Robertson Had Rheum. atism and •Dropsy—.Had to be 'Tapped—Does- n't Know What it is to beSick Now 'Montreal, Que., Dec. 1O.—(Special.)— Mr. George Robertson, a well-known citi- zen living at 392 St. James street, Mont- real, is one of the many people in this city who are never without Dodd's Kid- ney Pills in the house. Like all the oth- ers, Mr. Robertson has his reasons for this and is always ready to give them. "1 was a total wreck before 1 started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills," Mr. Robert- son says. "I had been troubled with rheumatism and dropsy for five years. I had to be tapped to relieve me of the pain. My arms and legs were terribly swollen. "I had just begun to get down -hearted when a friend induced me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. Before I had used the second box I felt better. Seven boxes cured me so completely that now I don't know what it is to be sick." Paupers in the Mining Region. In several mining counties of Penn- sylvania the local authorities are at- tempting to secure legislation that will fasten the expense of paupers and crim- inals upon the coal companies which brought them to the neighborhood. In both the anthracite and the soft -coal re- gions there are many assaults, robberies and murders, for which the county treas- uries have to pay. The majority of the inmates of the county hospitals, poor- houses are injured or discharged men from the nines. The legislation proposed is to require the corporation which brings the man to the county to give surety for him in somewhat like manner to the bonds required from foreign steamship companies.—New York World 4, 14' • tt It .-r ,� � ,/',� 1 1 \l , Myers' Royal Spice keeps live stock in perfect condition, prevents stomach and bowel troubles, cuts down the feed bills.

He put a teaspoonful of flonr of sul- phur into t wineglassful of water and stirred it with his finger instead of a spoon, the sulphur not readily amalgam- ating with water. When the sulphur was 'well mixed the physician gave it as a gargle, and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger. Sulphur kills every species of fungus in a man, beast and plant in a few minutes. Instead of spit- ting out the gargle the swallowing of it Es recommended Irl -extreme eases in which the above specialist had been called in the nick of time, when the fatigue was too nearly closing to allow the .gurgling, he blew the sulphur through •the quill into the throat and after the fungus had •shrunk to al- low of it •then gave the gargle.

The secretive, taciturn barber was fin- ally induced to talk, He remarked: "1 have noticed one peculiarity about my customers that I coukl never quite ex- plain. The less hair a man has the more attention he pays to it. "There's a real estate agent who comes in here nearly every week for a hair cut, and if I shaved him clean from the back of his collar to his forehead you'd never know that I'd touched him. Ile's got a short, light colored fringe that plays around under the rim of his hat, like the soft, fluffy fringe you see on those shawls the women wear over their shoul- ders, but you'd. think, to hear hint, that he could braid it and do it_ up in coils. Wants me to be particular and trim it close on the neck and around the ears. I;humor him, of course. I take a hand- ful of somebody else's hair and sprinkle it on the cloth I put on him, and then I snip the air gently for ten or fifteen minutes and make a great ado when I whisk hint off. "And when he leaves the eha.ir and says he mustn't let it grow so long again I say it was pretty long. I hope the Lord will forgive me. Nine out of every ten of the bald hencls are that way, but men who've got plenty of hair will keep away from Isere until they look like the edges of an old-fashioned hayloft. It's curious. and. as T said, 1 never could account for it."—Providence Journal. • - Barring the Door. Thousands of people in this city and its suburbs are spending money for Christmas gifts. Most of them look to the advertisements in the newspapers for hints as to what to buy and where to buy it. The man who snakes or sells any article suitable for a Christmas gift, and who fails to advertise it, thereby cuts himself off from participation in the benefits of the holiday rush. He might as well bar the main door of his establishment and expect customers to come in through the window. o - o 20 Years of Vile Catarrh. —Chas. 0. Brown, journalist, of Duluth, Minn., writes: "I have been .a. sufferer from Throat and Nasal Catarrh for over 20 years, during which time my head has been stopped up and my condition truly miserable. Within 15 minutes after using Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder I obtained relief. Three bottles have almost, if not entirely, cured me." 50c.-73 You Owe It to Your Mother.

Aso Thus far British East India has not discriminated in favor of English goods. A (german trade paper explains this by saying that India recognizes the importance of other European coun- tries as buyers. Germany alone bought $60,000,000 of Indian products in 1002, though she exported but $17,000,000, to that country, in the same year. It so happens that almost all of the Indian exports enter Germany free of duty. ®ode Minard's Liniment Cures Distemper. NEVER WAS A WILD ANIMAL. Of all domesticated animals the sheep has from time immemorial been most closely associated with mankind. An erudite author sixty years ago, having laboriously collated an assortment of al- lusions to sheep made by sacred and pro- fane writers, concluded that "the history of these animals is so interwoven with the history of man that they never ex- isted in a wild state at all. "Biblical history from the time of Abel is full of allusions to the flocks which formed the chief possessions, of the Jew- ish people and their neighbors. The spoils of war and the tribute of vassal kings largely consisted of sheep. Thus we read that Mesita, king of Moab, was a sheep master, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs and an hundred thousand, rams with the wool. Moses after his victory over the Midianites obtained as loot no less than 675,000 sheep and long before the Christian era sheep were cultivated in Western Europe. Spain and Italy possesed them from an unknown period, although long after Rome was founded the inhabitants had not learned to sheer the fleece, and, until the time of Pliny, the practice of plucking it from the skin was not wholly abandoned, so that the humble shepherds of Syria preceded. in their knowledge of necessary arts. the future conquerors of their country."—Outing. 4 4 $100 REWARD, $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn, that there is at least one areaded dis- ease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

Water boils ae different temperatures, ac- cording to the elevation above the sea level. In London water boils practically at 212 de - 209'i degree;rees lintthenCitynof Mexico 20t0 degrees, and in the Himalayas, at an eleva- tion of 18,000 feet above the level of the sea, at 180 degrees. Ther differences are caused by the varying pressure of the atmosphere at these points. In London the whole weight of the air has to bo overcome. In Mexico, 7,000 feet above the sea, there 15 7,000 feet less of atmosphere to be resisted; consequently, less heat Is required and boil- ing takes place at a lower temperature.

There seems to be nothing in the shape of the coast, no dangerous rooks, no mysterious currents —in short, nothing to account for the fa- talities to vessels which occur there. Quite recently a scientist has found that the sand along this strip of land is strongly magnetic owing to the admix- ture of magnetic iron ore. At a dis- tance of three miles from the shore the ship's compass showed a deviation of a whole degree from its true position. The cause for the frequency of shipwrecks is most obvious in the light of this disco - 'cry. Worry wont cure a cough.

Sailors visiting the island of Lay- san, in the Hawaiian group, are great- ly amused by the curious antics of the Laysan albatross, or gony. These birds. sometimes perform, in pairs, a kind of dance, or, as the sailors call it, "cake- walk." The albatrosses approach each other, nodding and making profound bows, cross their bills, produce snapping and groaning soµnds, rise on their toes, puff out their breasts, and finally part with more nodding and bowing, only to come together again and repeat the per- formano. Occasionally three engage at once in this singular amusement. ♦_o Rheumatism will sucoumb to South American Rheumatic Cure because it goes right to the seat of the trouble and removes the cause.

A prominent* racing man tells the following story on himself: His jockey felt ill on the eve of an import- ant race and left him without a rider for the horse which he had entered for the event. la looking about for a substitute he decided that his stable boy, who was thoroughly familiar with Spitfire's ways, would fill the bill very acceptably. Now you must be careful," he warned .him, "to use Arizona as a pacer; he is a won- der and will lead the track; follow him closely until just before the finish—don't pass him under any circumstances until you get within a few lengths of the line; then let Spitfire out for all you're worth." The capitalist paused in his recital and turned his cigar meditatively in his fingers. "Well, did he obey your instructions?" asked one of his listeners. Yes," answered the owner, "to the letter. He kept just behind Arizona until they were almost at the finish line; and then he spurt- ed ahead in great shape; but, unfortunately, there were four horses ahead of Arizona," —Harper's Weekly. e Minard's Liniment Cures target in Cows 400 Animals and Fire. Most animals are afraid of fire and will fly from it in terror. To others there is a fascination about a flame and they will walk into it, even though tor- tured by the heat. A horse in a burning stable goes mad with fear, but a dog is as cool in a fire as at any time. Ile keeps his nose down to the floor, where the air is purest, and sets himself calm- ly to finding his way out . Cats in fires howl piteously. They hide their faces from the light and crouch in corners. When their rescuer lifts them they are, as a rule, quite docile and subdued, never biting or scratching. Birds seem to be hypnotized by fire and keep perfectly still; even the loquacious parrot in a fire has nothing to say. Cows, like dogs, do not show alarm. They are easy to lead forth and often find their way out them -I selves. a Neglected Opportunities. (New York Herald.)
