Constipation is the
cause of reine-tenths nf all
sickness. It isn't considered
sickness by most people, but
it is just the name. It is
serious sicktiea, hecause it
eliities almost all of the
health of mankind. Symp.
toms of it are sallowness,
listlessness, poor apPetite,
bad. taste in the mouth, diz-
ziness, biliousness, and las-
situde. Constipation can be cured easily
and certainly , by the use of Dr. Pierce's

ple —perfectly. safe. They are not at all
violent in their action, and yet they are
more certain than, many medicines which
are so strong tha,t they put the system
all out of order. r) The great advantage of
the "Pleasant Pillets ' 'is that they cure
permanently. YOtt don't have to keep on
taking them. You don't acquire a "pellet
habit. ' Take them regularly for a while,
and you are cured permanently. After
that, take them only when you find your-
self sufferinK from indigestion. There are
many medicines offered for the same pur-
pose on which druggists make a bigger
profit. Foe this reason, some druggists
woeld rather sell the other things. Iflyoui

He looked up and down the line, sha ing
his eyes from the 'rain with his hand. ,
Great God of heaveo ! The goods train
was not yet off the single line. Both signals
were standing at clear, and the points were
not abated. The Boat express was thun-
dering down the hill from Port Andre* at
, the rate of sixty miles an hour, and would
' be thrOugh the Junction in a minute. And
there upon the single metals right ahead
would be Duncan Urquhart with his heavy

As he ran he saw Duncan's headlights com-

also in his ears. He shouted with all his
power, but the wind whirled away Muckle
Alick's cries as though they had been herby
eirvin's. 11 -
On came the goods trein laden with
eevy merchandise and coal, beating up
r slowly .against the.w,esterly wind. At that
moment the rending screech of the express
r4erced to his heart. Another moment and
it must dash into the train driven by Dun-
can Urquhart. ,
Muckle Alick found 'the points open.
Throwin his great crowbar forward he in-
serted it neath the length of rail, and
with he strength of Samson, he moved the
whole section over to the other side. He
could not lock the points, of course, as the
signal an could have clone. But Alick held
them ight with his lever, while the heavy
goods train bumped along, passing over the
impro erly joined points with a terrible
joltin , which almost ;dislocated his arms.

Though dimly, meadows bright with dew.
The solenin piaes, the waterfalls,
The distant mountain's tender blue,
And says, " while darkness is my lot
The sun shines through, I see it not."
As one who in the rimming stood,
On lonely summits crowned with snowe
And saw, beneath hien, lake and wood
Transfigured by the gelds* glow.
When footsore en a weary plain

Saw all things wripped ia golden light,
And though I seen se blind to -day,
Still shines the sum with radiance pure.

The Aylmer Express. reports :
Mr. and Mrs. Chute, of Aylmer, desire
that we should pubiish their testimonial and
let other sufferers know what Williams'
Royal Crown Remedy (Nature's Liquid) had
done for Mr. Chute. He writee : "For ten
years or more I breve been a sufferer from
- dyspepsia, and doctored with six of the
most skilled doctors in this paps of the
country, but with little relief and ncehenefit
in return for the very large doctor's bills
that I paid. I tried almost eyery conceiv-
able remedy, but all to no purpose, until,
April, 1893, I took to myself a wife and it
so happened that three years previous te
our marriage she had been in poor health,
and used part of a bottle of Royal Crewel
Remedy, and knowiag of ita excellent qual-
ities she prevailed upon me to give It atrial.
I purchased one bottle of the Remedy and
Pills, and by the time I, had them used my
general health was much improved, and by
the time I had taken three bottlee I Was re-
stored to good health, and my'Reighbors say
that I am looking healthier than I have
done for years. I believe Royal Crown
Remedy to be the best value for the money!

The Value of a Good Trade.
Among the seven trades vrhich a atudent
-in mechanical engineering must learn at
Cornell University is that of blacksmith:
Occasionally there is s protest, but it is;
never heeded. One young man, ten years -
ago, was unusually averse to soiling his
hands. But he had to work the forge; just
the same. Last fall he went to Peofessor
Morris and thanked him for being compelled
to learn blacksmithing. " Why ?" asked
the professor. " Why, you see,' replied
the former dude, "I am now superintend:.
ent of a mine away back -in Colorado. Last
summer our main shaft broke,' and there
was no one in the mine but myself who
could weld it. I didn't like the job,
but I took off my coat and weld-
ed that shaft. It wasn't a pretty
job, but she's running now. If I couldn't
have done it, I'd have had to pack that
shaft on mule back and send it 300 miles
over the mountain to be fixed, and the mine
would have been shut down till it got back.
My ability to mend that shaft raised me in
the eyes of every man in the mine; and the
boss raised my salary."

An American was stopping in Rome, and
one day he overheard some Europeana
boasting about the beauty of the scenery of
Europe. It grew so tiresome at, laatothat
he turned around and pslitely joined ia the
conversation, incidentally introducing some
remarks about the grandeur of the Rocky
Mountains, their height, etc.
