The writer hopes herewith to supply this deficiency, as he has kept a record of the prineipal neeessities laid down from time to time by great men who have given the re- state of their experience, and lays them be- fore the reader, to follow closely and not shirk. Tobegin with,you should select for a birth- place& dingy -looking little farmhouse, on the outskirts of a clearing. Log cabins have gone out of date. At ()Le time they were .quite fashionable, but 'something a trifle beti. ter is now demanded, As time goes on,who knows Maybe some of our great men will be born, inethe " Ladies' Home Lournal " three -thousand -dollar country house's. This, however, is a remote contingency. . Be good to your mother. While the other boys of the neighborhood are playing bookey, marbles and baseball, you will be doing chores around the house. This, how- ever, does not imply a goodness in any other way. You will, of course, avoid going to .Sunday school, and when you are not Raw- irg wood and laying the -foundation of the wonderful constitution which is afterwards to carry you through life, you will be read- ing a few well-chosen books, such as the dictionary, the Bible and one or two con -do Tapers. -You will find the jokes useful later . when you are celled upon to make after- dinner speeches. You can then take your choice of " strug• ,gling through college or leaving the farm with a dollarein.your pocket. Better leave college alone, however, as it teaches you a 1st of superfluous things you may regret. Many.a man who might have accumulated a large fortune has spoiled it all by going through college and learning to Iove other things more than money. The best plan is f.to-go to New York with a dollar in your -pocket. Go at -once to the leading savinge bank and deposit seventy-five cents. Live on the balance until you get work. As soon as you get work, save at least seventy-five per cent of your wages, if you can ; or, bet- ter atilt, renety par cent. Vou will thua 3equire habits of frugality, which will be a source of happiness to you throughout your whole life. At the end of a few years you will have saved up a few thousands, and your snacess is now assured. Do not gamble. Robbing is not only safer and surer, but it is legal. Protected by the laws of your country, you can feel entirely safe. Reorganize a rail- road, start a small trust, or get acquainted in Washington. When, you get to be seventy you ought to be worth at least a hundred millions. Yoi can then make a bluff at giving it all away, and be quoted at saying that it is wicked for a rich man to leave anything behind him. -Tom iviasson. A THOUSAND THANKS. Quebec Man Cannot be too Grate- ful for Dodd's Kidney Pills. ST. ELYEMe, Que., Sept. 9, (Special). -A feature about the work of Dodd's Kidney Pills is the great gratitude they arouse in those whom they restore to health. Heelth and sickneas are as different from each ether as happiness and unhappiness, misery and joy. Is it any wonder that those who are transported from sickness to happiness and joy by Docld'e Kidney Pills are grateful to that wonderful medieine ? And as Dodd's Kidney Pills have cured people all over the world, ono may judge of the muleitude which bless the name of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Here is what a Quebec man says : "1 thank Dodd's Kiddey Pills. They cured me of Kidney Disease, which forced me brew every hour at night. To•day I am perfectly well. I sleep without rising.

The editor of the Moose Jaw Times has .been making a tour among the farmers of that district and is telling his readers of their prosperity ; how much land they eultivate ; the kind of buildings they have ; how much wheat they expect to have this year and the amount ed wealth tesey have accumulated aince settling in testa fertile land of promise. He thus refeiti to two former Huronites whom he came across, but there are lots of other Huronites in his baIlewick, such as the Gilmore's, MoCart- nees, Thompeona and others, and should he strike any of them, he will find them the boat of good fellows : "On our road we passed by the new home of Mr. Grigg, who first came to the district in 1900, from Huron county. Last 'spring he brought his wife and family from the east and bought 320 acres. He is well pleased with his first year. He has built a tine dwelling house and a good prairie 'stable," and this year has 53 acres of wheat that will average 30 bushels, and 20 acres of oats that will go about 75 bushels per acre. He works his farm with four horses, and keeps,- a couple of cows. Mr. Wm, H. Beesley, formerly of Olin - ton, Ontario, brother to Postmaster J. G. Beeeteee, of Marlborough, is among the more recent arrivals in the district. For twenty yeara he had been engaged in the dry goods business, and knows all about the ups and downs, the work and the worry and un- eertanties of business life. To make a short story, an adverse wind caught his boat, and William like many others went under. When be emerged he remembered that his beothers htycl advised him to come to Moose Jew and farm. He now acted upon the adviee, came west and landed in our town in the spring of '9e with $2 in his pocket. lle entered for a homestead at Marlborough and worked for his brother the first year. His wife Lind family arrived the following December. The second and third years he worked for Mr. Thomas Falconer, and this year he has rented the Silver farm on ehares, and besides has 21 acres of wheat, 11 of oata, le of glimmer fallow and 21 of breaking on his own place. He also has a three horse team and a cow. Last year Ms new land averaged him 20 bushele and this year his crop es fully up to the average. trorn a dry goods merchant to a farmer is a rather sudden change, but a dry goods inert:bent who can dig post holes around 320 acres as a starter -as Mr. Beesley did -is ne "tenderfoot," and we venture to predict that ia a few years he will be among our emmennsmesmommo most prosperoiis farmers and another stend- ing advertise ent for the 'poor man's country."'

Now an inventer proposes to nudke things agreeable for lovers, by putting cm the market a superior kind of " paper for secret writing," as he calls it, which will be made of note size and packed in neat boxes, ac- comps.nied by the requisite envelopes. When a young lady evishea to write to her heart's adoree, and is anxious that oultaiders shall not by any nature become acquainted with the contents of her missive, she simply dips -her pen in a solution of salt and water, with a little vinegar added, and in that harmless and invisible medium inclites her epistle. On receiviog the letter, the fortunate young man resorts to the old-time expedient of holding it. near the fire, and, immediately the writing becomes visile, traced delicate- ly in lines of blue. Where this new inven- tion claims superiority to anything of the kind hitherto offered is in "its extreme simplicity. Also, the paper is in convenient cornrhercial.ebape; and, not least important, the writing does not fade br deteriorete-a common difficulty with most " sympathe- - tie" manuscript. The paper is prepared by soaking it in soluble salts, and cobalt, after which the cobalt is rendered insoluble by dipping the paper into socliuro carbonate. The process is so easyhthat any intelligent person who chose to take the trouble might make the paper for himself, while the household pantry will furnish the materials for the ink off hand. • Rheumatism - What's the Cause? -Where's the Cure? -The active irritating cause of this most painful of diseases is poisonous uric acid in the blood.

No nation in increasing in heightand weight so rapidly as the British. In 40 years the average has gone up for the whole nation from 5 feet 71 Maher] to 5 feet 8:t inches. The average height of the British upper class at 30 years of age is 5 feet 8e inciter; ; of the farm laborer 5 feet 7 3-5 inches.

The rush to a new Australian gold field was like the -road to Epsom on the Derby day; every conceivable kind of vehicle might bei seen, from wagons to wheelbar- rows. The diggees were clustered en a favorite piece of land "like ants on a mound. , Hundreds lay upon their backs with outstretched arms, gripping perhaps a pistol in one hand, a eheath knife in the other, and claiming to own at least all the ground they could enoompasa." Others were filling bags with surface stuff. The din was trernenduous, and to reduce all this excited chaos to order in the allotment of eight feet claims was the difficult task of the commissioners. Some of the adventures of gold -finding were curious. Two friend.] taking a walk OW Sunday sit down to rest, , and find a nugget at their feet. They re- solve to work the gully, so mark Roam trees on their way home, Next day the start; but alas 1 in the meantime a rush hes taken place in the neighborhood, and the trees have been felled. Where is their claim ? They cannot find it. They found the nug- [ get on April 17th, and on May 8th he dig- gers were "shoveling gold from eneath each each other's feet." The two friends joined the rush, but could not get nearer than within a mile and a: hell of tie rich ground. The gold was found at a depth of two feet six inches, and soon the friends left, under the imprestion that it h d been worked out. Another party took (owes - ion, worked it deeper, and sent 40,000 ounces of gold to Melbourne by the escort, May 20th being wet, the Mends etrtIled uo the surface hills, where the best g Id was being found ; and there, in the centre of it, e ! la was the log they had sat upon and re tree they had marked five weeks befo that short time it had changed from an un- known gully in the bush to the celebrated Eaglehawk, where 90,000 men- Were at work, and 120,000 ounces of gold were being carted away per week. This was bad luck for the -friends ; but they went on to German Gully, and in ten weeks time they hid £800 apiece. One el the ourious phases co4nected with gold finding was the Sabbatarienism of !the diggers. The men who did nob l wimp- ple to settle disputes by a fight, t,se men who would rob others, the men whof drank and gamboled, would not dig on Sundays. They cooked and travelled and washed their clothes ; they did all manner of work, but from digging they T -abstained; and the ibad feeling displayed tewarda some Ital ans at Fiery Creek had it origin in the fact that foreigners erhployed their Sundays in dig- ging. ----Good Word. • A Sour Stomach and a Sour Temper travel hand-in-hand and or i, .2. precursors of mental and physical w., Nine htindred and i inety-ninetimesinn sand food food ferment (indigestion) is the c,,e, stomach sweet-oit crige.-ti,m-kc v;) 1 Dr, Von Stan's Pint-a.r,ple Tabletq centres evelklealanclal - tht.y're pattirt,t p.•-• acea-pleasant and harnil(s3. 33 cult ts.- I.

If one w II take the trouble to look around in any ssemblage of peed ple, as at a church, he will discover that the old folks have ear considerably lar-, ger than those of th middle aged. A woman who has small shell-like ears at 20 years of age will b very apt to possess medium sized ear at 40 years and large ears at GO.

Now an inventer proposes to nudke things agreeable for lovers, by putting cm the market a superior kind of " paper for secret writing," as he calls it, which will be made of note size and packed in neat boxes, ac- comps.nied by the requisite envelopes. When a young lady evishea to write to her heart's adoree, and is anxious that oultaiders shall not by any nature become acquainted with the contents of her missive, she simply dips -her pen in a solution of salt and water, with a little vinegar added, and in that harmless and invisible medium inclites her epistle. On receiviog the letter, the fortunate young man resorts to the old-time expedient of holding it. near the fire, and, immediately the writing becomes visile, traced delicate- ly in lines of blue. Where this new inven- tion claims superiority to anything of the kind hitherto offered is in "its extreme simplicity. Also, the paper is in convenient cornrhercial.ebape; and, not least important, the writing does not fade br deteriorete-a common difficulty with most " sympathe- - tie" manuscript. The paper is prepared by soaking it in soluble salts, and cobalt, after which the cobalt is rendered insoluble by dipping the paper into socliuro carbonate. The process is so easyhthat any intelligent person who chose to take the trouble might make the paper for himself, while the household pantry will furnish the materials for the ink off hand. • Rheumatism - What's the Cause? -Where's the Cure? -The active irritating cause of this most painful of diseases is poisonous uric acid in the blood.

The rush to a new Australian gold field was like the -road to Epsom on the Derby day; every conceivable kind of vehicle might bei seen, from wagons to wheelbar- rows. The diggees were clustered en a favorite piece of land "like ants on a mound. , Hundreds lay upon their backs with outstretched arms, gripping perhaps a pistol in one hand, a eheath knife in the other, and claiming to own at least all the ground they could enoompasa." Others were filling bags with surface stuff. The din was trernenduous, and to reduce all this excited chaos to order in the allotment of eight feet claims was the difficult task of the commissioners. Some of the adventures of gold -finding were curious. Two friend.] taking a walk OW Sunday sit down to rest, , and find a nugget at their feet. They re- solve to work the gully, so mark Roam trees on their way home, Next day the start; but alas 1 in the meantime a rush hes taken place in the neighborhood, and the trees have been felled. Where is their claim ? They cannot find it. They found the nug- [ get on April 17th, and on May 8th he dig- gers were "shoveling gold from eneath each each other's feet." The two friends joined the rush, but could not get nearer than within a mile and a: hell of tie rich ground. The gold was found at a depth of two feet six inches, and soon the friends left, under the imprestion that it h d been worked out. Another party took (owes - ion, worked it deeper, and sent 40,000 ounces of gold to Melbourne by the escort, May 20th being wet, the Mends etrtIled uo the surface hills, where the best g Id was being found ; and there, in the centre of it, e ! la was the log they had sat upon and re tree they had marked five weeks befo that short time it had changed from an un- known gully in the bush to the celebrated Eaglehawk, where 90,000 men- Were at work, and 120,000 ounces of gold were being carted away per week. This was bad luck for the -friends ; but they went on to German Gully, and in ten weeks time they hid £800 apiece. One el the ourious phases co4nected with gold finding was the Sabbatarienism of !the diggers. The men who did nob l wimp- ple to settle disputes by a fight, t,se men who would rob others, the men whof drank and gamboled, would not dig on Sundays. They cooked and travelled and washed their clothes ; they did all manner of work, but from digging they T -abstained; and the ibad feeling displayed tewarda some Ital ans at Fiery Creek had it origin in the fact that foreigners erhployed their Sundays in dig- ging. ----Good Word. • A Sour Stomach and a Sour Temper travel hand-in-hand and or i, .2. precursors of mental and physical w., Nine htindred and i inety-ninetimesinn sand food food ferment (indigestion) is the c,,e, stomach sweet-oit crige.-ti,m-kc v;) 1 Dr, Von Stan's Pint-a.r,ple Tabletq centres evelklealanclal - tht.y're pattirt,t p.•-• acea-pleasant and harnil(s3. 33 cult ts.- I.
