When some people don't like the weather they act as if their friends were to blame for it. My baby talked when he was two weeks old." That's nothing. The Bible says, 'Job cursed the day he was born.' " Aren't you afraid if you leave your wheel out all' night that so mueh due will rust it ?" "Oh, I don't mind that; there's $10 due on it now." The man who thinks that the world is looking at him generally comes to realize, after a while that the world has something better than that to do. Mamma—" Where's papa ?" Flossie— "He's downstairs." Mamma—" What's he doing ?" Flossie--" His bicycle is out of breaff, and he's giving it some more." " I can offer yoUr daughter nothing but my devoted heart," said Scroggs. " Um I Well, I don't find hearts quoted on the stock list," grunted the worldly parent. The Pretty Girl—" Miss Smother was named after her Uncle George, wasn't she ?" 'The Bright One—" I don't know.

When a youngeman " falls deeply in love with a young lady" he h usually finding out ways and mums of being in her com- pany, let him be never so bashful. He is no doubt all the time showing his feelings • only too plainly. He will be a, great diplo- matist, indeed, should he. succeed in not doing so, .but his lady -love "mann hae her dues o' coortin' all ,the same." His very bashfulness will recommend him with some girle. A true,hearted girl may help a backward lover, but then she must be in a manner sure of his intentions. It isn't her privilege to do the love -making, and she doesn'e wear her heart- on • her termite. He can ehow ' her in a thousand different ways that sbe is first in his thoughts, and by -end -by she must under- .etand if she is worth the winning she is worth the wooing. He must think nothing too muoh to do for her, but he musn't be too humble. -If she loves him he thinke him strong and breve, and he muse needs show himself so. This young man is of a reteing disposi- tion. We take it he has not been going much into compeny.. Then something must have been ocoupying hi.. attention. He may have read much. He ought to be able to talk �f many things. Meanwhile this eoung lady would prefer being told whet he saw in her eyes to what he has read of in books. • Love often begets loee. Even if he gets a little rebuff et first he musn't be dis- couraged. She probably doesn't know her , own mind nor his exactly. He can let her see he still cares for her without being ob- trusive. He can pay her many trifling at- tentions. These gain more on a girl than open flattery. Without an avowal of love he cannot claim her exclusively, but one day, before he knows how it came about, he will pour into her ears his tale of love, and she will thank heaven fasting for a good man's love."—M. C. M. SHE WAS A CRIPPLE.. Night Terrors in Children. The causes of night terrors may be varied. Very often the attack is due to some strong impression which the child receives in its waking houre. It may be that unwise and frightful stories have been told the little one. It may be that it has been startled by a dog or a cat, or in some way received an impression upon its sensitive nerves. Some- times these attacks are dhe to deranged digestion. The fact that the little one is generally restless in sleep and grinds its teeth would suggest that it -le suffering from some trouble of this sort, either indigestion of the stomach or bowels, or possibly has worms. The only treatment necessary dur- ing an attack hi to gently take the child in the arais, soothing it with gentle movements and caresses, and with kind words strive to bring it to a realizing sense of its true sur- roundings ; in short, take that course in dealing with the child which would natur- ally suggest itself to a loving mother. It should be understood that these fancied evils are just as real to the little one suffer- ing thus as though the imagined circum- stances really existed, and it would be the worst kind of cruelty to treat the attacks with indifference. The child should be taken into bed with its parents and allowed to remain there during the night, if it BO desires, until the sense of fright is dispelled by daylight. The general treatment should consist in attention to any derangement of the system which upon careful examination is found to exist. The child should be fed with food most nutritious and most easily TELLS. OF HIS RhLEASE FROM THE PAINS OF RHEUMATISM. It Had Afflicted Him for Upwards of Ten • Years and Many Remedies were Tried in Vain—Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Ef- fected His Release. From the Freeman, Kingston, Ont. Fifteen yearago Mr. Alexander O'Brien, the popular Princese street tailor, was one of the most athletic young men in King- ston, both as, a foot racer and otherwise. Eleven years ago he commenced business, and shortly afterwards was stricken with rheumatism,, which caused him much pain, loss of rest, and neglect of business. He states that he tried many doctors and many medicines, all to no avail. Over a year ago a friend advised him to try Dr. -Wil- liams' Pink Pills, and though he had but littIe confidence in them, or advertised med- icine of any descri.ption, at the urgent re - But four boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills put • her on her feet. Hamilton, Oct., 18—Public interest cen- ters on the startlingly wonderful recovery of Mrs. A. Waddell, 178 Queen Street N. She was a cripple for four years. Today, through the agency of Dodd's Kidney Pills, she is sound and well. Her story is short but convincing. "For four years," she states, "I ,waS a victim of Kidney disease andlame back. I could hardly move about without the aid of a chair, on which to lean. Hearing of the great good done by Dodd's Kidney Pills,- I tried them. I used four boxes and can now get along without any help.

"Has there been a man in here to -day after a. license ?" "Throe or four, Miss. Times must be better." " I snean a red-heisded man," she ex- claimed, ignoring the young man's allusion to the improved condition of the times. "Yes,Miss ; the last one I gave out was to a reheaded man. Here it is," and the man opened the book, "'John F. Gunton to Miss Mary M. Duster." "That's the man," she exclaimed, "and that's me. -Now, I want One myielf. Make it out,, quick, for Mary M. Duster and Henry; Hooker." ' The clerk was quick about it. "How much is it ?" she asked, as he handed it to her. " Two dollars, Miss." "Did Gunton have to -pay that much for his ?" she asked, laying down the amount called for. Certainly. That's the legal price, Miss." "Well, I wish to goodness is was $5. John Gullion has been courting me for two years, and he is the stingiest man I ever seen. That's the first money he ever spent on me, and he wouldn't have spent that if I hadn't been sharp enough to let him get the license before I got one for me and F1enry. Henry's now looking for a preacher, and I am to meet him at the hotel right away. Good-bye. I am ever so much obit ed to you," and she started out with a rue , but came back in a minute.

After the first box had been taken, customers noticed the change, and when three boxes had been fin- ished the result Was marvellous. Hiestrength hal returned, impoverished blood renewed, muscles developed, rheumatism almost dis- appeared, barring a slight stiffness in knee joints, which is gradually going, and in the last six months he has ° done more in his tailoring establishment than he had accom- plished in the previous four years. A Free- man representative noticing the change in Mr. O'Brien's condition, asked him to what he attributed his apparent good health after such a long siege of Mies& Without hesi- tation he replied, "Well, I have taken no medicine in the putt year other than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, therefore I attribute my present condition solely to their use. They had such a good effect in driving - rheumatism out of my system and building up my shattered constitution, that my wife whose health was not any too good also tried the pine. A few boxes remedied her illness and she, to, is 33 loud in her praise of them as I am.

A very pointed and practical' article ap- peared in the Orangeville, Ontario, Adver- tiser, on the possible results of townspeople doing all their buying in the city. We quote it for the merchant to show it to in- telligent customers, who ire reasonable enough to see that city buying, if carried out to its extreme limit, can empty a town of both trade and prosperity : "Lotus assume that a town which lacks local pride and spirit, and whose inhabitants send much of their cash to departmental stores, carries the thing to its logical con- clusion and buys everything away from home and what follows? The merchants put up their shutters and quit. The main street has gone out of business. The post office and express office are the -local branches of the departmental store and are busy sending off orders said handling par- cels. The merchants with their families, and their clerks, scatter to the four corners of the earth. There are, perhaps, two banks in town and one closes at once, but the other Waits to see how business will be. The editor of the local paper looks over his field and peers into the future, and _then removes his plant to some place far from an over shadowing city. Those who own prop- erty along the main street find it almost valueless. One of the local lawyers moves away. One of the doctors sells out to the other. The farmers of the surrounding country rise at 3 a. m. ,and drive on through the village to the city to sell their produce and make their purchases. They consult a city doctor, or lawyer, or dentist, if they need advice Or treatment. Their farms once worth $100 an acre, because adjacent to a living town, decline in value until they are worth only $30 or $40 an acre, because no living town and market are near. The • owner'of the big mill or factory, which was bonused years ago, will now harken to the offers he gets to locate in other places, and the town, having now no future, no prospect of better shipping facilities, the factory will pack up and go away. In short, the town will have no excuse for existing. The sur- rounding country doe not need it ; it doesiee need itself its people might as well move away and get lute the city, to which they really belong. Logically, this is the outcome—a whole province with no indus- try or trade in it but places of tinkering and repairing in a small way ; a whole province in which only rich cities and rich men can thrive at all, all retailing, passing into the bands of millionaire men and companies A Good Story of Sheridan. Sheridan once had occasion to call at a hairdresser's to order a wig. On be- ing measured, the barber, wile was a liberal soul, invited the orator to take some refreshment in an • inner room. Here he regaled him With a bottle of port and showed so much hospitality that Sheridan's heart was touched. When they rose from the table and were about separating, the latter, look- ing the barber full in the face, said, "On reflecting, I don't intend that you shall make my wig." ' Astonished and with a blank visage, the other exclaimed: "Good heavens, Mr. Sheridan! How can I have dis- pleased you?" "Why, look you," said Sheridan, •"you are an honest fellow, and, I re- peat it, you shan't make my wig, for I never intended to pay for it. I'll go to another iess worthy son of the craft."
