A lengthy and interesting programme had been provided for the occasion. After the programme was ended a fifteen minute speech was given by the chairman, and then supper was served, amidst charming music, which made one almost forget how much he had eaten. We all join in wishing our teachers a happy and prosperous new year, and hope that they may be crowned in the time to come. All sang at tan close, " God Be With Us Till We Meet. f; Again," and returned home quite happy, having had a good time. , The address to the teachers was signed on behalf of the school by Misses Edith Cleave and Rosey Westlake. • SICK HEADACHE, however ann,iying and dis' tressing, is poeitively cured by LAXA•LIVER PILLS They ate easy to take and never gripe. , • Goderich Township.

The Services Canada Has Render- ed Fully Appreciated. ...-.-.. A Prominent Brockville Buiiness Man Pays a Tribute to the Good Work of a • Canadian Institution in • England. • (From the Bcockville Recorder.) One of the most successful business men in Brookville is 1fr. Thomas Nappy, the well -known -Perth treat grocer. Mr. Nappy is an Englishman by birth, and the success he has achieved in business here has enabled him for some years past to make an annual holiday trip to the Motherlaud. In a casual conversation with some friends in the Bank of Montreal, recently, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills happened to? be mentioned, and Mr. Nappy said that it the pills .effected many cures as maryWous as one that had come • under his notice, he was not aurprieed that they were so frequently the theme of con- versation. Asked later by a reporter of the Recorder to tell the story, Mr. Nappy read- ily.consented to do so, and we give it prac- tically in hili own words : "Don't be (life appointed when I tell you that the cure did not occur ia this country," said Mr. Nappy. As a matter of fact it occurred in England, and came under my observation on the oc- casion of two visite made to that country. During the summet of 1898 I paid a visit to my old home in _England, and- while there visited 'William Ledger, a relation of mine living at 45 Fitzwilliam street, Doncaster. In Ledger's family was a little girl. Lilly, about six years of age, who was absolutely helpless with what the doctors said was St. Vitus' dance, but really seemed to me more like paralysis. This child was one of the most pitiful sights I ever saw, more helpless than a new born babe. She could not move a single limb, and if the head were turned to one side or the ether it remained in that position until sortie one changed it. The poor child had to he fed and looked after like an infant, and, as the doctors had not been able to do anything to relieve her, re- covery was hot tt ought possible. Indeed, I said to the child's grandmother that I thought its early death would be a relief, not only to the child, but to its parents. This was the condition of the child when I left for Canada. Again in the summer of 1899 I made a holi lay trip to England, and, to my annazen ent, when I visited my friend Ledger, I foui d L ly as bright and active a child as one wo rld: find anywhere, with absolutely no rac of the trouble that had made her a he ple P burden the year before, I told her par nts had never exPeeted to see her alive gain, and asked what had effected her ure. "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," said the f ther. He further said that returning f om work one eight, he found in the hous a little book describing the pills, left duri g the day,and 4ter read- ing it decided to i se them in Lilly'e Case. After supper he b ught some of the pills, and gave the first to the child that night. In a few deys the saw they were helping her, and in less th n two menthe titne there was not a child in the neighborhood, bright er, healthier or m re active. I ha,' e heard a great deal' come ning what Dr._ I, illiame Pink Pills have done in this country, but this case,coming u ider my own ohservation, is as near a miracl as we can look for in these days, and eh we why Dr. Williams' 'Pink Pills are so 5 uch talked about every- where. Dr. Williams' I' nk Pill, are just as valu- able in the case of children as with adults, and puny little ones would soon thrive and grow fat under this treatment, which has no equal for building op the blood and giv- ing renewed strengt 1 to the brain, body and nerves.

"This is a brand new stitch" said the young WOMall, holdb3g up a dainty piece of embroidery, "and if you ;will come some day when we can be all alone 111 teach you how to do it." - "That reminds nae of a good story," -said her companion, "You know that Queen Victoria is a crank on the subject of needlework and spends much time learning new -things in embroidery and crochet work. Well, a few years ago she, was spending some time at Wiesbaden, and she used to drive to the bazaar and look at the needlework, while people looked at her and wondered why she would persist in wearing the old, rusty bonnet. One day the young woman who usually waited on her showed her what you just showed to me -a brand new stitch -and was asked* to call the next day and teach her majesty how to make it. She was to make a second call to finish the job several days later, but in the meantime was taken ill, and the pro- prietor of the establishment Was beside herself and worried as to how and where she would get a substitute. "On the day before the appointed time a young girl from a weltern eity in the United States came to bazaar and saw and admired the piece of needle- work and told the saleswoman that it was the first she had seen since she had fedshed a similar piece. "Then you know how to do the stitch?' " 'Certainly,' said the young woman. 'Why?' "Well, there was a whispered cousulta- tion, and then the girl was asked if she would act as substitute the next day and teach the queen. You can imagine that slie did not hesitate. She went to the hotel, aud, radiant with joy attd excite- ment, told her mother of her' good for- tune, and, after she had reeeived the congratulations of her friends, her moth- er shattered all her plans by reminding her that the next day was Saturday and that,as a good Jewess, she could do no sewing on that day. And now the youeug woman tells •the story of how near she came to teaching Queen Victoria a new stitch," -New York Tribune. t MAGICIANS AND CARDS.
