From the Topic, Petrolea, On. Few men iu Petrolea are better known than Mr. Tnotnas Findlaye who has resided • here nearly forty years. In 1862 Mr. Find- ley came here, and before the railway con - ejected with Parolees he drove a stage coach, bringing the early oil men. When the rail - rota came here Mr, Findlay engaged in the brteinees, but later he suffered from a gun • Accident, that disabled his hands permanent - After recovering from this, Mr. Find- ley was appointed constable and night watchman for the town, which offiee he has held during thirty years past. This acci- dent was by no means Mr. Finlay's worst leiefertune. From early youth he had been amartyr to dyspepsia, which filially became - salad that he looked forward to death as a merciful release. Happening to hear that afreFindlay had found complete relief from Its lifedong foe, a Topic reporter waited on Isi'm to find if this was true. Mr. Findlay esee only too glad to tell hia story, hoping itepublication might help some other suffer- " Tama preety old man now," %id es, -11r. Findlay, "but I cannot remember the time when I was not in pai» from prenioious nispepein and stomach trouble until lately. As a young man ort the farm I suffered all nate of pains with it, ; food would sour on my stomach, and violent vomiting spells mould follow. As I grew older my sufferings •Increased. I could not eat anything but the airnliettt- ktnd of food, and little of that. My systerrebeeame badly run down, and I grew scliveak that I really looked forward to death as a eelease. Ifrom my misery. Oae after another I tried doctors and medicines, but Could get no relief; then in despair I concluded to quit all and await the end. Meantime my condition became worse. Violent era Mpg attacked my lege, prostrat- ing me for a time. They beeame worse, and more frequent until they one day attacked my stomach, and I thought my encrhad come. Unable to move and in agony I was driven home, as I thought to die but, after an injecti en of morphine I gradually recovered. From that time on the cramps increased in frequency and violence. Noth- ing gave me relief except, the temporary im- munity from pain afforded by morphine. I became go weak from pure starvation that death ertared me in the face. Finally a friend said " Why don't you try O. Williams' Pink Pills ? ' Whathe the use ?' I said. I've tried everything, and just got worse all the time.' Weil,' she said, 'you try a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, they ...eared me, and I believe they %I ill do you good.' Well, I purchased a box and started takiag them. After a little I thought they helped me, so I kept on taking them for a couple of months, when I felt I was really cured after s ) many years of offering. My strength came back, my etomach recovered its power, and I was able to eat anything I fancied, and once more cauld enjoy life. This is nearly two year ago,but I was cured to stay cured. I have never had a sick day since or k.nown the enghteet stomach trou- ble. I am confident I would he a dead man now if it were not for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills—nothing else ever helped me." Ttae old adage, " expet i arisen i3 the best teacher," might well be applied in eases •of dyspepsia, and if euffererienwciuld only be gelded by the experience of those who hage eaffered, but are now well and happy through the use of Dr. Williams? Pink Pills, there would be lee; distress throughout the land. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be had at all dealers in medicine or by mail post paid at 50 cents a box, or six boxes fer $50, by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine bo., Brock'. ille, Oat.

The folio% ing is from Hall's .Journal of Health : "A glass of beer can't hurt anybody ! Why I know a person—yonder he is now— a specimen of manly beauty, a portly six- footer ; he has the bearing of a princes. He is one of our merchant princes. His face wears the _hue of youth, and now at the age of 50 odd he has the quick, elastic step of our young men of 25 and none more fun of wit and mirth than he; and I know that he never dines without a brandy and water, and never goes tobed without a terrapin° or oyster supper, with plenty of champaigne, and more than that he has never been known to be drunk. So here is a living example and disproof of the temperance twaddle about the dangerous nature of another glees and the destructive effects of a temperate use of good liquors." Now it so happened that this specimen of sate brandy dr inking was a relative of ours. He died a year or two atter that with chronic diarrhoea, re common end of those who are never drunk, but never out of liquor. He left his widow a splendid man- sion uptown, and a clear five thousand a year, besides a large fortune to each af his children, for he had ships ° on every sea, and credit at every counter, hat which he never had occasion to use. • For months before he died—he was a year dying—he could eat nothing Without dis- tress; in the midet of hia millions he died of inanition. That is not half, reader. He had been a steady drinker, a daily drinker for 28 years. He left a legacy to his children which lie did not mention; Scrofula has been eating up -one daughter for 15 years; another is in the madhouse; the third and fourth were of unearthly beauty—there was a kind of grandeur iti-that beauty—but they blighted, and they paled and faded into Heaven, we trust, ,in their sweetest teens; another i3 tottering on the verge of the grave, and only to one of them is left all the eenees. • Long Life is Inherited.

Many amusing sterien are told of General Lagerberg's encounters with King Oscar of Sweden and Norway, who tolerates -in . him what would be be less niajeste if dune by any other persen. They. promenade together nearly every day, and frequently join the throng in the public parks at Stockholm. The Ring has as sharp an eye for a pretty girl as he had fifty years ago, and never fails to notice one his promenade. One day while" with hialriend, the "General in" The Ring's Garden," a shaded promenade near the palace, he turned around to stare .at a hand- some woman, who was pass*, when a drop- ing limb of one of the trees knocked off his silk hat. He tut tied to Legerberg and said hotly : 'General, why didn't you warn,me of that tree." , "I have as good arright to stare at a pretty girl as your Majesty," he replied. General Lagerberg is a man of economical habits, and is never known to have money. He allows his friends anti admirers- to pay for his beer and cigars, and was never known to treat.

He saye: It is not wise as a rule to make compari- trona between classes, but I am inclined to think that if it comes to the spirit of court- esy, which lies behind all manners, respect- able working people, say our artisans and their wives will make a better show than their maters and their wives They will have leas of thee concern about their own dignity, which i always a sign of vulgarity; tiey will have more regard for the claims of otner people ; they will be more anxious not to hurt another's feelings ; and they' will be quicker to render services in the lit- tle exegencies of lie; and all this is the fruit of courtesy. " WerensaY woman (and I count this a perfect test) traveling with a yelling child and some articles of luggage/ it would be better far her, as a rule, to take a place in a third-class carriage rather than in a first- eless carriage. The chances 'are that among richer people, unless they. gathered from something she said, or from hername upon a drt sting oaee, that she was a perigee of distinction—in which case they would take any trouble kr exact proportion to their own meanness—they would eye her with dis- pleaeure, convey to her the idea that the child was a nuisance, ignore the straggle with her luggage, and make her glad to leave the compartment. Were she to travel with an artisan and his wife, they would bid her welcome, make her feel at home, an- ticipate her wants, and encompass her with ettentione— because she was a lonely woman with a child. And the service of a woman and a child is the climax af courtesy." . DR. LOW'S WORM. SYRUP is a safe, sure and re e arra expeller. Acts equally well on children or adults.

A Russian gentleman has erected, -at a cost of 80 rubies; on his country estate at Savi- nowka, in Podolia, a 16 roomed house made entirely of paper. The house, which was constructed in New York, is calculated by its architect to last longer • than would a stone building. The whole of the furniture, too, is made from the same strange material. In County Westmeith, Ireland, a house has been built whereOf all the windows are made to resemble in .outline the backs of easy chairs, beiug thus couseructed by its eccentric owner to match the backs of a suite of chairs in the dining -room. In the neighborhood of Ipswich a certain land owner, thinking that the view from his house lacked a thumb, proceeded to supply ire place by erecting' a row of cottages so de- signed as to resemble, from his side, the edifice r«juired. ApproaChing from the other directi in, however, the .sham is at once manifest. A somewhat similar building in Kent, which has always been Ivied as a dwelling house, was built over 100 years back by Sir John Boyd, a native of Bridgend, i a memory of a friend who died in Africa, and was in- terred beneath a church,of which Sir John's memorial is an exact copy.

The father was trying to imprees upon his son, who wanted to play golf for exercise, that chopping wood would answer the pure pose just as well. " Oh, no father," said the boy, " it ii the walking no, strokes that makes golf such a valuable exercis3 ; that gives the legs a chance as well as the arms." " Oh, that's it, ii it?" said the old man. And then he went into the yard and placed slieks of wood at intervals all around it. After thi4 he handed the boy an axe, and eaid, " Now play the full course."

EVERY FAIR A PRRFECT Fir A.1:1 - Foram GuastkaTartn. —Another of Blanshard's pianeers has passed to the great majority. Mr, Alex. Cameron, one of Blanshard's oldest and first settlers, p:s3ed away on Friday, let inst., after but a short illness. He had been for over eighty six years a Canadian.

In 1843 he came westward to Blau - shard, which was then practically unknown, and settled near Anderson, where be has ever since resided, suffering the hardships and wants of the early settlers. THE MOST NUTRITIOUS Number ,132 Words Used by Various Persons In Twenty-four Hour's. • "I have been trying to figure out how many words the average man utters in every twenty-four hours," said a gentle- man who had a. penchant for -peculiar things, "but I have been unable to reach any satisfactory conclusion. on accouut of the different rates of speed at which dif- ferent persons talk. Of course I have no reference to the different kinds of words which may be found in the daily vocabu- lary of the average man, but I'm talking about the total number at words -uttered, counting repetitions and all, during every twenty-four hours. "There is the Quiet, melancholy gentle- man who will not speak on an average of 500 vaords a day, and there are many who for one reason or another would. not titter anything like this number. On the other hand, there is the conversational gatling gun, not always a woman, either, who will roll off words at a fearful rate of speed and whose aggregate for one day would run up to dizzy heights. Then there is the normal talker, who will strike a good decent average—the man who will neither bore you with his indifferent si- lence nor tire you with his meaningless verbosity. "But suppose that we figure that the. average person will utter an average of sixty words every minute. This would amount to 2,400 words for every herrn or about 57,600 words for every twenty-four hours. Of course no person will talk this inuch, as the windiest ot men and women would probably break down before they had talked as much as fifty-seven col- umns In the average daily newspaper. The only question is as to how much timer each person puts in talking during each des,. Some men and women are situated so that they cannot talk during the day, except at mealtime, on account of the character of the work they have to do. . There are others, such as -traveling men, for instance, who depend upon talking for a living. I have figured that the high man, probably the traveling mail, will tar five hours out of every twenty-four, which would gtve him a total of -12,000 words every day. I have figured that most any sort of man will talk as Much as ten minutes out of every twenty-four hours, and this would give him a total of 000 words for the day. "These are the two extremes. I am satisfied that the normal man—the man who strikes a decent average between indifferent silence and disgusting verbos- ity—will talk probably one hour, all told, each day, which would allow him 2,400 words. And this, by the way, is consid- erable talk, for it will fill two columns in a newspaper, nnd a whole lot of wisdom can be crowded into two columns." • To Teat the Oven. A celebrated French cook always tried his oven with white kitchen paper, which he placed on the shelf in the oven on whieh the article to be be cooked was to be put and left it there I or five minutes: If at the expiration of that time it was eharred, the heat was too great; if it was dark beown, the oveti was right for small pastries and thin cakes; if light brown, it was suitable for pound cakes, pie .crusts, etc.; if only a dark yellow, puff pastes, sponge cake mixtures and meringues might be put in.
