Mandrake Blood Bitters
OW/STANCE, Feb. 1st, 1893.
To L V. FEAR, Druggist, Seaforth,
Ontario:
Dear Sir: For a long time past I
have been greatly distressed with
btomach trouble, suffering extreme pain
with headache nearly all the time. I
had tried every means within my
reach, without relief • even physician's
medicine had no effect. I was in a
-very despondent way when, happen-
ing to be in Seaforth one day, some-
body recommended me to try Man-
drake Blood Bitters. As it had re-
lieved so many, I thought it might
help me. I procured a bottle, and
truly the relief was almost , magical.
yrom the first few doses I began to
improve, and, after taking a few
bottles, I am like a different person
altogether. Whereas life was a bur
den to me, now it is a pleasure to live.
If ever I have any symptoms of my
old trouble, a few doses of your valu-
able remedy fixes me all right. With
pleasure I recommend Mandrake
Blood Bitters.

ENTERTAINMENT. -On Friday evening of
last week, an interesting and successful open
meeting was held in the school house by the
Literary and Debating Society of School
Section No. 1, Stanley. The entertainment
consisted of a debate, an address, recitation,
vocal and instrumental music, etc. The ad-
dress was given by D. McTavish, Jr., on
"Single Tax." The speaker gave a very
clear and pointed address, shOring the chief
features of the system, and giving some of
tbe great benefits to society and mankind
that would arise film its adoption. The
debate was conducted by four young men of
the society, on the siibject, "Resolved that
Woman should heals the Suffrage." The
affirmative was ably conducted by Mr.
Alexander McLeod and Mr. William Scott,
and the negative by Mr. D. F. McGregor
and Mr. Frank Butchart. The speakers
spoke well and to the point, showing that
during the winter they had made good pro.
grans in the art. They were listened to
with attention, and frequently applauded by
the audience. The decision was given in
favor of the affirmative. The chairman of
the evening was Mr. Alexander Eines, who
very ably and pleasantly discharged hie
duty. A somewhat lengthy programme was
carried out, of which the following are se-
lected. Readings by F. Butchart and A.
McEwen; a dialogue by P. Baird and C.
Rose, andone by R. Baird and P.Campbell.
The month organ selections by W. McTav-
ish, John Innes, W. Baird and E. Baird
were well received ; John Scott, accompan-
ied the month organ with the Autoharp.
" Casabianca',' was - recited " by W. 'Baird,
followed with variations by P. Baird, C.
Rose'B. Waldron and John Innen. "Loch -
let's Warning"- well rendered by A.
McLeod and D. F. McGregor. The violin
solos by A. Innen were loudly encored.
Short complimentary addresses were given
by G. Baird, T. Fraser, D. Ross and. A.
Walker. A very pleasant and agreeable
evening's entertainment was brought to a
close by singing "God Save the Qaeen."

Some Lucky Finds.
Mining hi often a series of tocidents, most
.
of which are misfortunes, but occasionally
the prospeotor is rewarded when he least ex-
pects it. The Boston Globe has collected
these examples of lucky finds:
Three men while looking for gold in Cali-
fornia discovered the dead body of a man
who evidently had been "prospecting."
" Poor fellow," said one of the trio, "he
has passed in his checks."
"Let's give him a decent burial," said
another. "Some wife or mother will be
glad if ever she knows it."
They began to dig a grave. Three feet
below the surface they discovered diens of
gold. The stranger was buried in another
place, and where they had located a grave
they opened a got mine.
An adventurer ho had drifted to Lead-
ville awoke one rorning without food or
money. Be wen out and shot a deer,
which, in its dyin agonies, kioked up the
dirt and dikolosed
man staked out a
of the moat profita,
Leadville.
"Dead Man Charm" the name given to
another rich mine be, Leadville, was discov-
ered by a broken down miner while diggiag
a grave. A miner died when there were
several feet of snow on the ground. His
comrades laid his bodylin a snow bank, and
hired x man for $4 to dig a grave. . The
grave -digger, after three days' absence, was
found digging a mine.
An unsuccessful Australian miner went up
and down Colorado for several months
"
prospecting" for gold and finding none.
One day he eat down upon a stone, and
while musing over his hard luck aimlessly
struok a stone with his pick. He chipped
off a piece and sprang to his feet. The chip
was rich gold quartz. He hurried into the
little town of Rosita, and went to the assay -
office, where a teamster had just dumped a
load of wood. He agreed to saw the wood
to pay for assaying his chipped bample.
The result of the assay sent him back to his
" claim." When he had taken out of it
$500,000, he sold the mine for $400,000 in
cash and $l,000,000 in stook.
Queer Regimental Pet.
An interesting relic is preserved in a glass
case in the Coldstream Guards' orderly -room
at Whitehall, London. It consists of the
head and neck of a goose, around which is
a golden collar with the inscription, "Ja-
cob, 2nd Battalion Coldstream Guards,"
beneeth it are the words, "Died.on Duty."
In 1838, as related by The Million, when
two of the Battalions were in Canada, help-
ing to quell the rebellion, some of the sold-
iers were posted as sentinels round a farm
yard near Quebec. One day the sentry,
whose duty it was to watch the entrance to
the farm, beheld a fine goose fleein'g towards
him, closely pursued by a fox. His first im-
pulse was to have a shot at the latter, but
this would alarm the guard. He was com-
pelled, therefore, to remain silent, while
'every step brought Reynard nearer to his
prey. In the height of its despair the poor
bird ran its head and neck between the legs
of the soldier, and at the same moment the
wily fox made a desperate grab at the
goose ; but too late, for ere he could get a
feather between his teeth,the ready bayonet
of the sentinel bad passed through his body.
The poor goose, by way of showing its
gratitude to its preserver, rubbed its head
against his legs and made other demonstra-
tions of joy. Nor could it ever be prevailed
upon to quit the post, but walked up and
down, day after day with each successive
sentry that was placed there. The most re-
markable thing in connection with the story
is that the •goose in return actually saved
her preserver's life. It so happened that
that, same sentry was on that particular
post about two months afterward, when a
desperate attempt was made to surprise and
kill him. It was winter time, and several
men stole up in the darkness to the sentry's
post, their footsteps inaudible on the snow.
The soldier meanwhile marched up and
down his lonely beat, followed by the de-
voted goose, until he again "stood at ease"
before the sentry box. This was the
enemy's opportunity. But, just as two of
1
somewhat painful and lingering illness,
which was borne with Christian fortitude
and grace, has joined those who "have
washed their robes and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb," and while we re-
cognize Divine authority and power, we de-
sire, on behalf of your brethren and sisters
of this Grange, to say that death has not
only entered your family circle, but has
also entered our ranks, and taken from us
one young in years, and most highly esteem-
ed by your members. You have our deep-
est sympathy. Maggie was with us at
nearly all the meetings,and on all occasions,
when music was called for, she was ready to

le claim' ever worked in
their number were prepariug with up,ifted
knives to epriag upon the unsuspecting Man,
the bird rose suddenly on its wings rrght in
front of the would•be assassins. They were
astonished and rushed blindly forward ; but
the sentry, fully aroused to his danger,
bayoneted one and shot at the other as he
was running away. Meanwhile the other
conspirators approached, but the bird re-
peated teotics and enabled the sentry to
eep them at bay until the guard came up-
on the scone and made them fly for their
lives.
On arrival of the regiment in London the
bird resumed its old duties with the sentinel
posted at the barraek gates. Jacob was
eventually run over by a van and died at
the post of duty after a "sentry go " of
twelve years.
The Old Scotchman's Prayer.
I was pleased the other day with a story
which an aged man told me about an old
Sootohmen who was on his way to some
miesion work services. The old pilgrim was
poor and ill -clad, and partially deaf, but he
trusted in the Lord whom be served and re-
joiced in His kind provideuce. Oa his way
to the meeting he fell in with another
Christian brother, a younger man, bound on
the same errand, and they travelled on to-
gether. When they had nearly reached the
place of meeting it was proposed that they
should turn aside and hive a little prayer,
They did so, and the old man, who had
learned to let his requesta be made known
unto God, presented his cause in language
like the following:
"Lord, ye ken weel enough that I'm
deaf, and I want a seat on the front bench
if Ye can let me have it, so that I can hear
Thy word; and Ye see that my toes are
sticking through my shoes, and therefore I
want Ye to get me a new pair; and ye ken
I have nae miller'and I want to stay during
the meetings, and therefore I want Ye to
get me a place to stay • "
When the old min had finished his quaint
petition, and they had stated on, his
younger brother gently suggested to him
that he thought bis prayer was rather free
in its form of expression, and hardly so
reverential as seemed proper to him in ap•
preaching the Supremo Being. But the old
man would not accept the imputation of ir-
reverence.
"He's my father," said he; "He's Well
acquainted with me, and I take great liber-
ties with Him."
So they went on to the meeting together.
The old man stood in the rear for a while,
making an ear -trumpet of his hand to catch
the words, until someone noticed him, and
beckoning him forward, gave him a good
seat on the front bench, A lady who had
noticed his shoes asked him, at the oloae of
the service "Are these the best shoes
you Save?"
" Yes," said he, " but I expect my Father
will get me a new pair very soon."
"Come with me," said the lady, " and I
will get you a new pair. Shall you stay to
the end of the meetings ?"
"1 would, but I'm a stranger in this place
and have nae siller."
" Well," said she, " you shall be welcome
to make your home at my house during the
meetings."
The old man thanked the Lord that Ele
had given hini all he had asked for, and
while his brother's reverence for the Lord
was right and proper, it is possible that he
might have learned that there is a rever-
ence that reaches higher then the forms and
conventionalities of human taste and 'which
makes the believer to come boldly to the
throne of grace and to find all needed help
in every trying hour.-Watahword.
Tansy Kills Moths.
There is one sure preventive of moths,
and which I have never seen meotioned. It
is tansy. Sprinkle the leaves freely about
your woolens and furs and the moths will
Dever get into them. 'When I was a child
my grandmother used to mend me to the
pansy patch on the hill with a large basket
in which to bring home plenty of teney
leaves. In the garret were five large hair.
covered trunks, studded with brass nails,
filled her beet blankets, coverlets, flannel
sheets, etc. Some of them had never been
used until my grandmother had grandchild-
ren, notwithstaoding she always had a large
family to provide beds for. But the supply
of her bedding, linen and other household
articles was in exoese of the demand. The
fourth generation of her posterity are sleep-
ing under these same blankets and blue and
white coverlets now, which proves the ef-
ficacy ofthat remedy of the olden time.

make their home.
-The Stratford Spring Horse Show was
held on Wednesday, 12th inet , and was
fairly successful. Most of the classes were
well represented. A noticeable feature of
the exhibit was the comparatively few en-
tries in the general purpose clays, which

with Masonic honors. Deceased was a
young man of ability. He served his time
as a printer in the Acton Free Press Office,

When Mr. Cleveland was first elected to
the presidency he had to borrow $1,200 to
see him to the White House. The pur-
chase of "Red Top," however, cleared him
over $80,000, and he saved some of his sal-
ary while president. Then on leaving the
White House a law firm engaged him ata
salary of $25,000 a year, besides, which he
got several large fees for refeeing cases. He
made a good deal of money too in company -
with Wm. C. Whitney, and his investments
in Chicago gas hive paid him, as also have
those in the Northern Pacific, but Mr.
Cleveland cares tnore for fame than for
money, and has at various times contributed
at least $25,000 towarda the expenses of the
Democratic party. To -day Mr. Cleveland is
worth about $250,000, and Mrs. Cleveland
has $80,000 of her own. Dan Lamont is
quite as rich as the prelident, although he
had not more than $5,000 to start with.

HAtinirow, June 4th, 1890.
To Isaac Williams, Esq.:
I take pleasure in adding my testimonial to the
rest. I have been troubled with Rheumatism fa
some time. My hands, legs and feet were very
much swollen and my joints out of place, and
trying all sortie! medicine, it did me no good, un-
til I took your Royal Crown Remedy. After taking
two bottles it entirely cured me, and I can recom-
mend it to anybody. Yours truly,
ELLEN MATTHEWS.

Physic your horse well wall Dick's Blood Purifier ;
feed on soft tooling food. Keep him clean and dry
and he will recover in time. Washing with i castile
soap and warm water will be useful if the lege are
carefully but gently rubbed after each washing. Do
not use bandages. What is most desirable is to keep
his skin dry and his blood thoroughly cooled. It
may take some time to get rid of the fever and the
impurities in the blood that have caused the trouble,
but Dick's Blood Purifier will accomplish it if used
as directed.
The Latest Hypnotic Yarn.
The latest hypnotic yarn from the Charite
Hospital, Paris, oasts all its predecessors
into the shade. Dr. Luys, it appear, has
been making experiments in relation to
what he calls the " exteriorization " of the
human body, and it is asserted that he suc-
ceeded in transferring the sensibility of a
hypnotized woman into a tumbler of water.
When the water was touched the woman
winced, and when it was swallowed she
went into a deadly swoon. How the drink
er felt with another person's sensibilities in
his vitals i8 not stated. Dr. Luys next
undertook to transfer sensibility from the
woman to her photograph, and succeeded so
admirably that when he stuck a pin into the
picture the woman screamed. Not ably
this, but the mark of a scratch appeared
upon her hand in exactly the same epot
where the pin had been applied to the pho-
tograph. It is lucky for Dr. Guys that he
is living in the nineteeth century, for many
an old woman has been hanged and burned
for doing this sort of tbing. Before long,
doubtless, basellnd football players will be
able to transfer their sensibilities to the um-
pire, which will be very convenient.
