years from Nervousness, Weakness of the Stomach,
Dyspepsia und Indigestion until my health Was gone.
I had been doctoring constantly with no relief. I
bought one bottle of South American Nervine, -which

LoNn'ix, August 30th, 1889,
To Mr. Williams;
It is nota pleasure, but a duty I owe to you and
the suffering world that I add my testimony with
the many you have already received. Royal Crown
Remedy cannot be too highly praised; it has saved
my life. For nine years I suffered extremely with
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint and could not retain
anything at all on my stomach without excessive
vomiting. Erlsipelati set in, which confined me to
my bed, Doctors could do nie no good. I also tried
many other plans with no success. I was induced
by Mr. I, Williams to try his medicine, which 1 did
after much persuading. Three bottles completely
cured me, and for 12 years I have had no symptoms.
Your medicine is worthy of praise. I advise all out -
fering humanity to try it, for it is the hest.

Definitions of Kindness Given by
Som Pupils of a High School
-in a Western City.
When a pupil sees that her teacher has a
great de 1 of work to finish in a limited
time, an then behavea as -well as she can,
so as no to attract the teacher's attention,
this is a kindness. el. C.
When in a class there is a chance he
prompt a pupil, and that chance is not
taken up we may call it an act of kindness,
because thereby the pupil reciting is not
helped to the habit of dependence upon
others. C. R.

G. K.
If a c rtain scholar at achool is not very
bright, atid cannot get along well, and
another scholar takes her time to explain

As an e idence of this fact we find in an

Englishj periodical a somewhat amusing an-
ecdote bf Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, who
repreeents a Birmingham constituency in the
Houee cif Commone in the British Parlia-
ment. It seema that when Mr, Chamberlain
was made a cabinet minister he got hun-
dreds of neq,uests for his autograph. For a
time he afiswered each one in an eutograph
note, b t the labor involved becarne so great
that fin Ily he had a printed form prepared,
runnin , 'Your request of encha date is
hereby omplied witlid) Then when an
togra,ph request came in he simply signed
this bla k form and let it go at that. -
One ay a tall raw-boned Warwickshire
man w lined into his office. "Morniug,"
said he ,
"Go d -morning," said Mr, Chamberlain,
looking , up.
"1 came for that place you promised me,"
said the countryman after an awkward
pause,
" Plaee ? I promised you no place," said
Mr. Chamberlain.
" Yee, you did," insisted the countryman,
atoutly.1 I've got your promise in your own
handwriting." With that he hauled out
one of the autograph replies—" Your request
of such e date."
" Bue man alive," said Mr. Chamberlain,

for my autograph.

"No, 'twasn't," said the man. " I never
asked fcir no autograph. I want a place ;
that's what I wrote for,"
Mr. Chamberlain had the man's letter
hunted up, and sure enough he -found it was
a formal application for a place,
" Here,' said the perplexed minitter,
emptying into his big hand all the money he
had int fhis pocket. "1 can't, give year a
place;- II haven't any to give." . •
And vVith that the man had to be content.

Unamer Pruning Grapes. ,
The' time to commence is when the young
shoots re six to eight inches long, and as
soon as you can eee all the young, bunches
of the EIp, bryo fruit. We -pinch with thumb
Et
and finger just beyond the last buncleand
the next leaf. If the shoots are not suffi-
cientlY developed to show theie condition
(the setting of the fruit) we pats then by
and go ver the vine again after a few 4ays.
. This atly pinching of the young shoots
has the tendency to throw all the vigor into
the dev lopment of the young bunches and
the leasee remaining over the sheets, which
now develop iwith astonishing rapidity. It
is a gentle checking and leading thea p ha -
to °the channels—not the violent preeess
which is often followed, long after the
bloom, when the shoots have so 'hardened
that th knife must be used, and by which
the plat is robbed of a large part of its
leaves to the injury of both fruit and Tine.
Let anyone wh9 wishes to satisfy himself
surrimer-prune a vine according to this
method, and leave the next vine until tater
the bloom ; he will soon be convinced which
•is beat. Since I first practised this method,
now about twenty years, it has added at
least one-third to the quantity and quality
of my ctiop, and is now followed by moat of
the intelligent growers of my State, ! '
The bearing shoots all being pincheei back
we can leave the vines alone until after the
bloom, pnly tying up the young canes from
the sp rs, should this become neceseery.
When'ethey ha4e bloomed the laterals wil
have started from the exile of the leaves ou
the bearing shoots. Then go over the vines
again and pinch these back to one leaf. This
will have a tentlency to develop the re-
maining leaf very rapidly, enabling it to
sero as a conductor and elevator of sap to
the young bunch opposite and shading that
as It becomes fully developed. The canes
from the spurs, which we left unchecked at
the first pinching, and which we deeign to
bear fruit the next season may now ale° be
stopped or pinched back when they are
about three feet long, to start their laterals
into stronger growth pinch off all the ten -
drill until where they serve as supporters to
the young growth. This is a very busy time
with the vine resser, and upon his close at-
tention and diligence now depends in a
great measure the value of his crop. A vast
deal of labor can be saved by doing every-
thing at its proper tirne.—Pnoesssou Hus•
rearm, in Vineyardist.
Where Authorities Differed.
The reading -class was standing in a
stiff row upon the floor of an Indiana school-
house,atid a bright little fellow was draw-
ing a paragraph about a Roman massacre.
The president of the school board was
present on his regular tour of inepection,
and be prompously requested that the boy
" read that verse again."
The "verse'" was read again.
, "Ah!hm !" said the great man, in, a
loud voice. "Why do, you pronounce tifat
word massa-ker ?"
The boy was silent.
"It should be pronounced massa-kre,"
continued the great MAD, with a patronizing
smile.
The boy remained quiet, but the teacher
&ally spoke.
"Pardon me, sir," she said, "but the
fault is mine if the word was mispronoun-
ced. I have taught the class to pronounce
it " masea-ker.',
"But why ?" insisted the great man, as a
look of surprise was followed by _ a look of
pin upon his benign features.
"1 believe that Webster favors that pro-
nunciation," said the teacher, meekly.
" Impossible I" said the great man.
The (dictionary was brought; and the
pretident of the school board •turned over
its limes until he found the word. There
was a breathleus silence as he looked up.
"1 am astonished, madam," he said at
"that Daniel Webster should have
made such a mistake as that."—Herper's

A young man carelessly formed the habit
of taking a glass of liquor every morning be-
fore .breakfast, An older friend advised
him to quit before the habit -should grow
too strong,
"Oh. there's no danger; it's a mere
notion, I can quit any time," replied the
drinker.
"Suppose you try it to -morrow Inoraing,"
suggested the friend.,
"Very well : to please you, do so ;

A week later the young man met his
friend again.
"You are not looking well," observed the
latter; "have you been ill ?"
"Hardly," replied the other one. "But
I am trying to • escape a dreadful danger,
and I fear that 1 shall be ill before I ehall
have conquered. My eyes were opened to
an imminent peril when I gave you that
promise a week ago. I thank you for that
timely suggestion,"
" How did it affect you ?" inquired the
friend.
The first trial utterly deprived me of
appetite for food. I could eat no breakfast,
and was nervous and trembling all day. I
was alarmed when I realized how insidious-
ly the habit had fastened on me, and re-
solved to turn square about and never touch
another drop; The squaring off has pulled
me down severely, but I am gaining, and I
mean to keep the upper hand after this.

Ornam enting School Grounds.
The little attention is paid this important
question by either parents or children, But
very few of our sohoolyards are well kept.
If trees are planted in them, they are allow-
ed to die in too many instances, and no at-
tempt is made at neatness. But there are
some exceptions. The writer well remem-
bers e schoolyard in which a nice stand of
grass was firet secured after the ground had
been levelled. Beds were then made of
various shapes and flowers planted In them.
In one place in the grass was the figure of a
huge serpent, in another that of a spade,
and in a third that of a compass. These
beds were portioned off in such a way that
each scholar had some plants. They were
supposed to take care of these. It was
simply surprising how much interest each
pupil tOok in thoee plants. The scholars
brought old kettles and drew the water
from a well in the yard in the evening,
The next morning it was nice and warm,
and was then put upon. the plants. It is
scarcely neceasary to add here that the
teacher was the moving spirit in the work.
The roughest boy at school would not injure
the slightest plant, and the code of honor
which led the children to abstain from pull-
ing the plants belonging to one another
grew very strong. The schoolyard was the
admiration of the neighborhood. Another
teacher came and the flowers were soon over-
run with the grass and weeds that grew up
in their midst, and some people thought

Power of Music.
There was a block" among the teams in
a prominent busiues° street. A herdio had
been overturned, and several coal carts had
been stopped by a load of lumber which,
having succeeded in stationing itself acmes
the thoroughfare, was unable to move far-
ther.
Moreover, every man among those barri-
caded had lost his temper, and swearing
was the order of the hour.
Suddenly'oh cheerful sound a lively
street band began to play, and the teniper of
the crowd changed as if by magic. The
horses stood no longer -in peril of dislocating
their necks, through the jerking and pulling of
their irate drivers ; the execrations ceased.
Each man settled back in hie cart to listen.
After a Strauss waltz and a spirited march
the band moved on, and then it became aP-
parent Mut the audience had experienced a
marvellous change.
"Will I give ye a lift, Mick?" called creel,
tho driver of the lumber cart, ,jumping dow
to put his shoulder to the wheel. It's
big load ye've got."
" Throo fer yez !" cried another, also lend
ing a hand. "Pat, have that baste of yours
and show what you're good for I"
They pushed with a will, and the horses
—who shall say that they did not work
with redoubled vigor ?—pulled with a will.
The teams were started, and everything
went on as if nothing had happened,
"It's a foin band that," said one men as
he drove on.
" Dade, an' it is !" cried another'and
hardly a man among them but whistled, or
tried to whistle, his own version of the tune.

A Suggestion From the Gallery.
FROM HARPER'S BAZAR.
The stage , has furniehed many amusing
anecdotes, and has in many inetences ser-
ved to bring out the latest humor of the
masses. One of these, told of the actor
Taillade, illustrates the aptnesa of the gal-
lery god in the hour of need. It seems
that Taillade was acting in some forgotten
plebe with an ,abnormally ponderous actrees,
Mile. Suzanne Lagris by name,whom he was
supposed in one of the scenes to carry off
half fainting on, his back. But his arms
were too short to embrace the well de-
veloped figure of Mile. Ligris, noting which
one of the gods taking pity on the super.
human efforts of his favorite actor, shouted
out, " Make two journeys of it !"
Another story which shows thissame
aptitude has been told as having happened
in a concert ball not far from Loudon. An
incompetent vocalist having endeavored to
sing, the song, " For goodness sake don't say
I told you !" was promptly hit with a mis-
sile in the shape of a small cabbage by one
of the audience in the gallery.
" Who threw that ? be howled angrily.
" It was me ?" cried a voice in the gal-
lery ; "but for goodness' sake don't say I
told you 1"
This brought down the house and the
singer retired, followed by a- clapping of
hands which his own merits never could
have evoked. 1
Good Word.
Be not anxious about to -morrow. Do to-
day's duty, fight to -day's temptations and
do not weaken and distract yourself bylook-
ing forward to the things which you cannot
see, and could not understand if you saw
them,—Charles Kingsley.
Addressing a gatheriog of Christiat work-
ers at Northfield Massachusetts, Dr. A. J.
Gordon said tired the public sentiment
against Sunday opening at the World's Fair
was largely due to the Evangelical work
done in the city during the last two months.
While the Sabbath attendance at the Fair
had steadily decreased that at the religious,
meetings in tents and theatres under the
direction of Mr. Moody had steadily in-
creased until it reached an aggregate of
40,000.
Self -Denial for Missions.
The Salvation Army has no monopoly of
the principle .of self-denial in Christian
work. About two years ago, four young
ministers in England—namely, Charles A.
Berry, R. F. Horton, H. Arnold Thomas,
and professor Armitage—iesued an impas-
sioned appeal in favor of a forward move-
ment in the cause of foreign missions.
They urged that one hundred new mission-
aries be sent out before the.centenary of the
London Missionary Society in 1895. The
appeal has met an unexpected response.
Already thirty-eight additional mission-
aries have entered upon their labors, and
the Society has reason to believe that the
remainder will follow in the time appointed.
Last year, in furtherance of this work,
which is almost entirely among Congrega•
tionaliets appeal wail issued for a Self -
Denial Week, and as a result of it nearly
$50,000 was added to the fund of the treas-
urer. This year the directors asked for
$125,000 as the proceeds of a similar week.
When it is remembered that the Salvation
Army has collected $200,000 in such a week,
and that the aggregate wealth of the Con-
gregational Churches is much greater than
that of the Army, the call does not seem to
be presumptuous. The English mission-
aries are doing quite as good work as our
own, showing quite as fine heroism, and
keeping quite as close to tha teaching of the
Scriptures, and they are allowed the same
liberty as pastors at home. A thousand
imaginary difficulties may be raised against
snch a plan, which all disappear in practi-
cal work. When the American Board
adopts the same principle as the London
Miseionery Society, it may issue its appeal
for a Self -Denial Week, and be sure that
the churches will give quite as liberal a re-
sponse as those in England.
Rescue Work and Preventive
Work.
We have seldom been more interested
than by addresses recently delivered by two
ladies—M.re. Thomas H. Bird, who has
what she calls a "Gospel Lunch" especially
for the inmates of the lodging -houses on the
East Side in New York, and Miss Johnson,
representing the Woman's College Settle-
ment in Rivington Street. Both are charm-
ing speakers, one magnetic and thrilling,
and the other cultured and winning. Mrs.
Bird's work is among the human wrecks of
our great city, and she surprised her audi-
ence by the infortnation that a large propm-
tion of tnose whom she found in the lodging -
houses were American born. Who shall say
that the days ot heroism in Christian service
are gone when such a woman leave° her
home of luxury, add, going to a room on the
East Side in New York, exchanges her dress
for such as the poorest wear, in order that she
may visit dance -houses and lodging -houses
to rescue the perishing ;" and when young
ladies frem colleges, fitted to adorn any par-
lors, choose rather to become the friends
and helpers of shiftless mothers and heed-
less Children ? One statement made by Mrs.
Bird was in reply to the question, "Don't
you suppose those men come to your meet-
ings just for the bread and coffee ?" " Yes,
I know that they do," she replied; "but do
you think I could tell hungry men about
the Bread of Life? No; I must first give
them something to eat, and then they will
listen to my message." Miss Johnson told
how the young street Arabs became the pro-
tectors of the ladies of the Settlement, and
Mrs. Bird said that never in the fourteen
months that her meetings have been carried
on has she had the least disorder, and that
she would not have police' protection.

News Notes.
—In the United, States Senate on Wed-
nesday, Mr. Sherman *earned his hearers
that the repeal of the law that bears his
name would not in any considerable de-
gree relieve the country from the exieting
stagnation, and he believed tbat any &here -
time of the tariff laws would result in
greater finangeil distress.
—The Czar has been petitioned by thel
inhabitants of Warsaw to abolieh the knout]
as a punishment in the Russian army. The
death of a soldier at Ostrow°, who had
been condemned to re3eive 200 lashes for
some alight breach of military discipline,
has been the cause of this petition. The
punishment inflicted by the knout is terri-
ble. At the fiftieth stroke the unfortunate
victim lost consciousness, and at the end of
the torture it was simply a mass of torn and
breeding flesh that hung suspended to a
triangle. A few minutes after the aoldier
was released he dicd in the military hospital.
—An accident eclipsing in horror any
that it haa heretofore been our duty to re-
cord,took place at Hespeler about 10.30a.m.,
Wednesday; 30th ult., at the saw mill of I
Mr, Louie Kribs. Mr. Frederick Krueger,
an employe of the mill, attempted to: cross
the gang that conveys the log to the large
circular saw when on its backward trip. Ho
stumbled and fell, and before the saw could
be stepped, the body of the unfortunate
man came in contact with the saw and was
literally sawed to pieces and mangled in a
frightful manner. Death was of course in-
stantaneous. Deceased was over 60 year.
of age, and was much respected.

The Elliott Case.
BRANTFORD, September 4.—Many citizens of this
city are willipg to vouch for the truth of Frank
Elliott's statement that he was cured of kidney dis-
ease of six years' standing by the use of Dodd's
kidney pills, Everyone is astonished at the rapidity
and thoroughness with which these pills do their
work. As one who had tried them, says: "A man
feels, after using them, as though he had never en-
joyed life before." The Rytnal case,in which a para-
lytic was cured -by Dodd's kidney pills, opened the
eyes of the people in this vicinity to the virtues of
this remedy.
