Lumbago and Rheumatism made Harmless by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Lumbago and Rheumatism cause endless pain and suffering. Every man and woman who runs chances of getting wet, or -catching cold, is liable to suffer from one or both. Our hospitals are full of sufferers from these diseases; none are more pain- ful. Every nerve is on fire; every joint is a centre of agony; every mus- cle an area of torture. To move hand or foot makes the victim shriek with agony. Rheumatism makes more cripples than all the railroad accidents that ever happened. Twisted, mis-shapen caricatures of humanity', who cannot walk without misery, are to be seen every day. The kidneys are to blame. If they are healthy_ you needn't fear Rheumatism or Lumbago. Dodd's Kidney Pills keep the kidneys healthy and cure Rheumatism and Lumbago. Dodd's Kidney Pills ALWAYS CURE. Remembered the Fee. Harper's Drawer tells a true story of an absent-minded man, to whom it came handy to forget. Said one of his beat friends: I could set iighb here on the nail -keg from now until the Connecticut river turns round and runs -up stream, and tell you about the different thingel know of that Hank forgot, first and last; but Pll only mention one instance, and that happened at •the time Hank got married. h You see Hank knew his Min' as well as anybody, and he was mortal afraid he would forgit about givin' the minister the fee; so he kept his mind glued right= to that, wed completely forgot everything else. . ' He was to be married in the evening at the parsonage, and when he went round there alone by himself at the appointed time, and meandered into the parlor'and told the minister to go ahead with his splicin', the good man looked up sort o' puz- zled and surprised like, and said: "Haven't you-er-forgotten suthind- Mr. Hebb ?" , " No," said Hank, still thinkin' of the fee, "I've got it right here in my viist pocket Might pay you as well now as a y other time." "Why, bless yeti my friend, I was thinkin' of the fee," said the parson," tine enough for that ater I earn it, but 1-e noticed you'd forgotten the bride an'-" "By Jiminy 1" says Hank, = glanei g around, " so I have. Glad you spoke (AU. I was almost sure Pd forgotten somethi4g, but I couldn't think what it was. .11e grabbed his hat and went out on a jump after his intended. He got back with hh before the doininie closed up the parson- ag th - i for e night, but it was a close shave, an when the story got out 'twas = a long whi1 afore folks quit askin' Hank if he had forg tten anything lately. • Furnishing a Dining -Room. When furnishing a dining -room do not carpet it all over, but have a stained and polished floor, and on it a woven art square, or, if you can afford it, a handsome Turkey, Brussels, or Wilton carpet. A,dark dado gives a rich effect to the wall, and if the furniture be not handsome it makes its defects less apparent. As a great deal of light is not needed at meal times it is well to have the gas or lamps shaded. The = shades are decorative in themselves, and the subdued light far more becoming to those who sit round the table than glaring illumination woald be. Unless the =mantlepiece be a handsome one, drape it in some way. Above it place a small pinture at one side, not in the cen- tre. Above the picture drape some harmon- ious material, and on the other side arrange ornaments such as taste may direct. Only avoid anything like a stiff arrangement with a decided ceatre-point. Another thing to be avoided is the use of pairs of ornaments of any kind on the man- tleshelf. If you happen to have pretty vases; one slender and tall and the other ex- actly the reverse, use them, but put plenty of other brie-a-brac on either side of them. 't Evangelist Moody Defines Regen- eration. • "There is so much that is mistaken for Regeneration that it may 'be helpful to first define it negatively," whites Dwight L Moody in the March Ladies' Home Journal. "And firat of all, it is not church ordinances. These Divinely -appointed means of grace are requisite for the church; but, in themselves, cannot give spiritual life. They are but sym- bols of truths, an'd, as such, are to point Us to things ievisable. -For insia.nce, baptism. is not Regeneration. Zaccheus became a new or regenerate man after =a few moments conversation with Christ;• but it is probaly some time before he was beptized. The tnief upon the cross died a regenerate man, al though he Was not privileged to commune with Christ's disciples en earth. Church- going is not being born of God. The evil one= himself regularly attends church, divert- ing the thoughts of the congregation and arousing the evil spirit of criticism. Phil- anthropy, self-sacrifice, death itself can never re-create .a man. That must be done by a power outside of himself, and only by being born from above.' Regeneration is a gift. No amount of human effort can earn it. It is well worth labor and toil and pri- vation - but these cannot buy Man works 7from the crass, not to it; he works from gratitude, but not for salvation." How to Preserve Bouquets. A florist of many years' experience gives the following recipe for preperving bouquets: When you receive a bouquet sprinkle it lightly with fresh water ; then put it into a vessel containing some soapsuds, which nourishes the roots and keeps the flowers as bright as new. Take the bouquets out of the suds every morning and lay it side- ways in -fresh water, the stock entering first into the water ; keep it there a minute or two, and then take it out and sprinkle the flowers lightly by the hand with pure water. Replace the bouquet in the soap- suds, and the flowers witi bloom as fresh as when first gathered. The soapsuds need to be changed every third day. By observing these rules a bouquet can be kept bright and beautiful for at least one month, and will last still longer in a verypassable state, but the attention to the fair and frail creatures, as directed above, must be strictly observed. • British Influence in Egypt. 'E While gypt, under British guidance, is steadily reconsidering her Soudanese provin- ces, it is doubly gratifying to have the as- surance that there is no slackening in the march of &emetic *ogres?. An interest- ing communication _ from a highly trust- - worthy source has been received, which comprehends a comparative statement by dir Edwin Palmer, in which he shows at a glance the salient points which mark the improvement in the condition of the country since 1881. Sixteen years of Brisish control have wrought a wouderful revolution in the affairs of Egypt, which has been altogether beneficial to the people of the country. The burden of taxation has been lightened. Debt has been reduced, and the oredit= of the country hao improved. Railways have been built, and railway treadling has increased threefold. There has been a' correapondhig development in_postel and telegraphie com- munications. There has been a large, bene- ficial, and reproductive expenditure ons roads, drainage, camas, and irrigation' works, which have increased the produetive and commercial_ 0:rapacity of the country. Trade and comaterce have thus been enabl- ed to grow largely. There has been an im- mense improvement in the department = of Public Education. Justice is fairly admin- istered, and the people have gained confi- dence in its administration.' Sir Edwin- Palmer's figures give remarkable proof of the strides that have been made in every direction. Perhaps there is no more strik- ing proof of the benign &erecter of British control than the fact that in fifteen years the population has increased by 43 per cont. Formerly the people were ground down by oppresive taxes, forced labor, and all the hardships proceeding from a corrupt, extor- tionate and extravagant Government. They are now thriving and multiplying under mild, just_ and helpful administration. • The Business Sluggard. A good = many young men spoil their chances for &access in life by the frequency they come late to business. Arriving at 'business in good times does not create ability where the same is look- ing; but late &trivet at business discounts ,whatever ability the 'slothful one may have. The bird that is late getting into the meadow secures but few worm',' and the young man who is in the habit ofgetting-to business late misses many opportunities for success. The habit of arriving at the post of duty late betokens slothfulness. And no employ- er will be in a hurry to advance persons of this type. n Then the ybung man who is slow to put in an-appeitrance at the post of duty is usually the quickest to get away from it at the close of the day. In other words, he is quite williag to be cut off something at both ends of the working day. The men who have been the most success- ful in life, are those who have been early at the post of duty in the morning and have not been in an inordinate hurry to leave it at night, especially when pressing matters required attention. ' He who would be suecessful must not only exercise well his ability, but he must use well the time which his own or employer's business demands of him. • TO CURE A COO IN ONE DAY.

Princess Victoria, the only= unmarried daughter of the Prince= and Princess of Wales, is • looking for some mission that a woman might fill without bringing disgrace upon her family. She does not wish to marry, although numerous offers have been made for her hand. She is !mid to' be clever and more companionable than her sisters, any number of young Gerthan and Swedish princes and grand dukes have really desired to win her for a wife. But the Princess Victoria has not yet found a husband to'ber mind, and ter her mother'a great dismay 'she cherishes an ardent ambition to be a genuine wage-earner. _ Two years ago she fitted herself for nurs- ing, and announced her intention of enter- ing a London hospital. Serious family con- claves were held, but it was not until the Younger woman was sent to interview her austere grandmother upon the questionthat she relinquished the plan. Inheriting a de- cided artistic talent frona her mother, this royal princess is now turning her attention to bookbinding and the designing of book covers. The library at Sandringham is greatly enriched with some of her excellent. work, and at a recent 'exhibition of book cov-era in London, two samples contributed by a Miss Matthews, won prize& It was not until weeks afterwards that the judges, diipensers .Of prizes or the royal family, themselves, knew that the energetic prin- cess had won three testimonials under eneh a commonplace name. • DEADLY BUIGHT'S DISEASE Cured by Four Boxes of Dodd's' Sidney Pills. Galt, April 18. -(Special) From town to _town, over the whole broad land, rolls the irresistible wave of marvellous popularity of Dodd's Kidney Pille. They are bringing the luxury of life to thousands of pain -worn mortals, and banishing kidney disease from our country. Mr. Frank Cromwell, of Galt, tells gladly of his escape. Unmistakable signs of Bright's disease alarmed him. Pains in the back, bloating of = the limbs, puffness, etc., appeared. He used several remedies. All faded. He then tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. Of course there could be only one result. It followed, as it always does, Kr. Cromwell -gas cured. "1 had given up all hope of getting Well, but four boxes of Dridd's Kid- iaey Pills cured me," says be. , Varieties. A Michigan editorreceivedsome verses not long ago with the following note of explana- tion : "These lines were written fifty years ago by one -who has, for a long time, slept in 'his grave merely for pastime." "Well, little chap," said the stranger in the family, picking up one of the children, what are you going to do,when you are a man?" " Nuffina" replied the child. " Nothing ? Why so?" asked the stranger, "Because," said the child, "I'm a little girl." Little Theo. went with his aunt to hear Mr. Moody at St. James church. On the way home the little fellow Wa3 in a medita- tive mood. Suddenly he exclaimed, "Auntie, I know why Mr. Moody is so fat." "What is the reason Theo ?' the aunt inquired. "'Don't you know Auntie, Mr. Moody said, 'After I was converted, I took in all the world." "But what," asked the fair prospective purchaser in- the bicycle shop, "What is that tinylittle pill box just under the handle bar for ?" "That, Miss," replied the suave dealer, "18 for the safe keeping of the piece of chewing gam." Whereupon the deal was immediately consummated. 0 A Scene in the Coke Region. The flames grow higher and higher till they leap up out of the trunnel heads and the long banks of ovens, seen at night, give the coke region a weird sky of red, reflected on low clouds, nowhere else approached in somber grandeur. Here the soldier blazes follow in single file the graceful curves of the gentle foot -hills of Chestnut Ridge, and there in double ranks they March, throwing the light of their steady tarches athwart the waters of the Youghiogheny. Soon after midnight, while this beauty is yet at its height, the shrill whistle of the works blows its call to labor. The silent miners trudge into the pit, and the coke -drawers gather upon the cinder yards. The ovens, which have been charged forty-eight or seventy-two hours, are now filled with a rich red glow, hourly becoming dimmer and dimmer; the flames no longer lick up out of the tunnel head, which is clear of smoke. The oven door is torn down, and the hot in- terior cooled with water sprayed oat of a long pipe which serves as a nozzle. With a long hooked tool, called a "scraper," the brawny coke drawer tugs and pulls, drag- ging -piece by piece out of the oven the sil- ver fuel, which is taken in wheelbarrows to the railroad cars standing on- the "coke I . siding," where they are usually plaoed at cnvenient diatances each evening or night. Coke is scarooly cool in the. car when the coke train is made up and hauled out of the regioh to points east or west. So rapid is the industry in its repetitions of mining, coking and shipping that coal which has reposed in the bowele of the earth under the shadow of the Alleghenies for centuries, may, three days later, in the fcirm of coke, , be roaring out iii the blast of some gigantic iron funarice on the banks of the Ohio or the shores of Lake Erie.-" The Coke Country," by H. P. Snyder, in the Chautithquan fur April. -1---• Foi. Cyclists. . Donotcourt an accident by riding with a snack chain. Don't be careless in riding strange hills • aoo dents may , happen. An uncomfortable saddle simply kills the pleas- ure of cycling. Novices should make a study of the anatomy of their wheels, , or they never will b good riders. It is better to walk up a hill Vhan to engage in a deadly struggle for mastery over the machine. 9i1 that is thick or g mmy oan be cleared to a great extent by warming in a veasel con- taining some shot or broken scraps of metal. With large chain wheels it is best andsafest to keep the chain rather tight. If this is done there is less o ance of it mounting the cogs, Excessivio Liberality. A negro preacher Was once preaching with much earnestness dpon the different ways by, which people 'else their souls. Among other way) he remarked that they often did so through excesghe liberally. "What?" -he exclaimed " Youltell me that you never heard of thaebefore.hrou say ministers often tell as we lose our Souls for our stinginess, and for being covetolia ; but who ever heard of a than that hurt himself by going too tar Vother way? I tell you how they do it. They it down under the sermon, and when the preaeher touches' upon this sin or that sin, they do not take it to themselves but give this pare to one, brother, and that to another brother; and,ao they give away the whole sermon, andidoes them no good. And that's the way tltey lose their souls by being too liberal." • .= Vegetable Raising. Professor Lazenby id a paper read before the Ohio State Horticultural Society agreed with Emerson that "the .person who work- ed in orchard, garden or greenhouse was blessed above his felloits." They produced the necessaries of the rich and the luxuries of the poor, and their productions would al- ways be in demand. 'He thought there was room for more winter plant houses, and gave actual figures of coot of raising lettuce, tomatoes and radishes at the university grounds, showing that there was profit as well as pleasure in it. Women were finding health in small fruit culture, as well as in attending flowers. Many day laborers out of employment might g -et a living in horti- oultual operations withciut materially affect - log the market or the Profits of thosesalready eimaged in such pursuit. They cOuld at least grow things which now they are forced to de without. • Easy cure for .Dysyepsia. "As painful and annoying as dyspepsia= 18, it may be easily and quickly cured if the sufferer will only be careful in his daily diet," writes Min. S. T. Rorer in the Mai* Ladies' Horde • Journal. " Abstain for a given time from, all solid foods. Live at least one week on milk, one quarter barley water, or koranyss. Then as the sterna& grows stronger, take pure milk, sipping and swallowing it slowly. You may take also the raw white of an egg, shaken with a cup of milk, Barthelow's food, plum porridge. a little scraped beet broiled and finally broiled beef, rice and pulled bread. A glass of cool, not iced- -water, should be taken the first thing in the morning. A cup of warm, not hot, water half an hour before' breakfast. For breakfast, three ounces of milk mixed with one ounce of bar- ley water. This schedule should be follow- ed every three hours throughout the entire day for one week taking the last glass of milk half an hour before bedtime, Koumyss may be substituted for the milk or used al- ternately." • Dickens' Point of View. Upon one occasion Charles Dickens was upholding the theory that whatever trade and difficulties might stand in a man's path, there was always something to be thankful her. "Let me, in proof, relate a tale," said the great story writer." Two men were to be hanged at Newgate- for murder. The morn- ing and hour approached, the prisoners were pinioned, and the ropes adjusted about the poor men's neck& '1 Thousands of morbidly curious spectators stood watehing in front of the scaffold -when at that instant, ad in- furiated cow, passing in the street, broke its rope and charged the mob, leathering the people everywhere With its hems. = Where. upon one of the condemned turned, to his equally unfortunate eoempanion and observed quietly, 'say,Jack, it's a good thing we ain't in that crowd.'" I Women Commercial Travellers. A new employment for women is intro- ducing flour. Several firnis who advertise their flour the worl'd over are now hiring women on a salary and paying all their. travelling expenses to introduce a particular brand of flour into towns and cities where it isnot well known. I Two women are em- ployed to go together, so that the unpleas- antness of solitary travel are obviated, and a certain district of territory is assigned each couple. • Worth Trying. Even if people go to *church there is tee difficulty of keeping them awake. One clergyman, sorely tried by a dozing majority of his audience, stopped speaking, when they all naturally awoke. Then he said to them :-" My good friends, this sermon has coat me a good deal of labor, and I do net -think you have 'paid it the attention it de- serves. I shall, therefore, go over it again." And he did.

Before the firemen reached the scene the row of sheds was almost a com- plete wreck, and all they could do was to cheek the further progress of the flames. They =Were sucsessful in their efforts, but the one in which the fire started is a complete ruin. They are the property of the = West Hastings Agricultural Society, and were in- sured for $800- in the Norwich Union. The loss is placed at $1,200. The cause of tiff fire is unknown. -Mr. John McMillan, of North Best - hope, cousin of ex -alderman McMillan, of Stratford, died on W-ednesday, April thh, at the age of sixty-six years. The deceased was born in Perthshire, Scotland, and emi- grated to this country with his uncle about forty years ago, and was engaged with him on the farm in North Easthope for some ten years, after which he returned to :3cotland and brought over his parents. On the death of his wide, the deceased acquired the farm on which he lived uutil the trine of his death. Mr. McMillian Was married aboutten years ago, his wife being a weave of Scotland. She survives him, as does also one child of about eight years of age. Abouteleven yeara ago the deceased sustained a broken leg through being throWn from a vehicle, and since then his health had not -been good. Ile had, however, only been confined to the house for few months previous to his death. The deceased was a quiet and inoffensive man'and through his congenial nature had wonthe esteeem of a wide circle of friends, avho will learn of Ms death with regret. He was widely &inflected -throughout North Easthope,, where he was highly respected. •• a HE HIT A WOMAN.

He is a native Identuelelan, lull of respect for the fair sex, gentle aa a summer dephyr and as full of sympathy as a can is atoove oysters. Yet upon one occasion he drew back his fist and me a woman a hie* in the face that 'shook her from the tip of her velvet toque -to the end of her gum over- shoes. In days gone by the notorious Carrie- . McBride, who is now dead; was noted ail the worst woman in the city. She was a rawboned, powerful creature, with a fist enter like a battering ram, and at least once a week for '20 years itheas necessary to arrest her. Policemen shivered when they Saw her drinking, for the7 knew they Were in for a fight before the day was over. She knocked them down and , tore their uniforms, battered' their faoes and made them objects of ridicule on their beats. Out of their meager wages they had to re- place the unifornis she destroyed, and thole famillea suffered . in = consequence Of course it would not do to strike a woman and thus place a blot on the fair name of Kentucky. .Years' went by, and Carrie be- 'cameLworso than ever with ago.

As -soon as she saw Min she said: ' "tii .ee when did all' you boys get on the po lee force?

The axle of differential politeness In the home as taught by the matron of the case is a very definite and exacting one. No matter how hunger panged a family may be, it will not dine until all be present or their absence accounted for, and as soon as one has finished eating all desist. But it is also an unpardonable -breach of etiquette if any one is so badly mannered as to stop atbis eating while any other has his hun- ger still unsatisfied. The Zuni OniS1110 is a varied one, and a • dinner as placed on the floor before a fam- ily and its guests will sometimes number a dozen platos, almost any one of which is a puzzle to a stranger. Corn, chiles, meats r and vegetables are the main compounding ingredients of most of the dishes, and the results are generally satisfactory, although ' sometimes surprising to = an alien. The greatest delicacy in all the list, according to native judgment, is made of stuffed and roasted sheeps' intestines, with their original and half digested contents still remaining undrawn. A yard or more of the entrails of an animal, with added bits of suet, are wound upon a spindlelike stiok and toasted. -The outside only is well crisped, and as the eater slowly unwinds his bologna bobble during the course of a long dinner he will frequently lean it be- fore the hearth blaze or lay it upon the embers to continue its roasting. Corn and wheat breads are made in great variety, and the yeast for their lightness is pre- pared by the women, who obese wimp of corn. After being thoroughly masticated the corn is- mixed with fine meal and warm water and fermented in small ollas left standing near the fireplace when lime fiour and some old yeast are added. As sa-ko-we, as Zuni yeast is oalled, is an ex- cellent leaven, if one will but calmly etrae- gle hie remembrance of its molared mill- ing. By its use meat made from blue corn will be changed to green or yellow meal to blue during baking. -Edward Page Gas- ton in Woman's Home Companion. Henry Clay's Fame Abroad. R.

While gazing at a large oil painting of Henry Clay a passing employee of the gal- lery stopped, and Mr. McCormick, in order to start a = conversation, said quizzically, "Can you tell me, sir, whom does this picture represent?" The attendant, realizing that his ques- tioner was an American, replied in a rath- er pedantic manner: "Why, sir, do I un- derstand you to mean that you don't know who that 'ere is? Why, sir, that's 'Enry •Clay, sir." "Henry Clay," repeated Mr. McCor- mick, with a merry twinkle in his eye. "Why, 1 never heard of him., Who is ho, pray?" "Why, sir," ejaculated the pitying Brit- on, "and you don't know 'Enry Clay, and you an American, sir? Why, 'Enry Clay's tile man what makes the cigars, sir."

The Corsican has no confidence in legal Notice, apd he generally takes the law in Os own hands. An insult is offered or a political- dispute arises.

A Mistaken Youth, Sometimes when in financial difficulties men are tempted to do things which under altered circumstances they would never dream of doing, and the stigma, of which will never altogether leave their business reputation. We heard of a ease in point in an Ontario town recently. A young man, who had graduated from the book -keeper's desk to be himself proprietor ,of a stock of Ary goods, found that matters were not im- proving for him, or for his creditors. Did he write and take them into his confidence, as he ought to have done? He did not, but lacking a 3 ear or so of his majority he simply let the crisis come and actually ignored lia- bility on the ground that he was a minor.. •A man, to all intent and purpose, he .de- graded his manhood by a wretched subter- fuge like that.
