A MODERN SCOITRGEI
Illore to be Dreaded Than an Out.
Break of Smallpox.
o Epidemic in the Last, Quarter of a Cen-
tury -Has Carried off as Many People as
,tenareally Fall Victim' to Consumption.
veaveoir du Nord, St. Jerome, Que.
Throughout Canada much alarm rine been
-felt during the past few months attilit" out-
break of arnailpox that has oceurred u vari-
awl localities, and thousands of dollere have
been expended—and rightly so—insup-
pressiug it. Awl yet year in and year out
Ws country suffers from a plague that
dams more vietime annually then have beent,
carried off by any epidemic during the past
quarter of a century. Consumption—the
at White plague in the north—is near° to
I a dreaded than any epidemic. Its victims
throughoat Canada are numbered by the
eaousancle annually, and through its ravages
bright young lives in every quarter are
nreeghb to an untimely end. Why? There
are two reasons, the insicluous character of
the &settee, and the. all true prevalent be-
lief that those who inherit weaklungare
foredoomed to an early deaths and that the
mosh that can be done is to give the loved
eau temporary relief in the journey towards
eke grave, This is a great mistake. Medi-
a' sconce now knows that consumption,
when it has not reaohed an acute stage, is
tumble. But, better still, it Is preventible
seam from weak lungs, who will clothe
themselves properly, who will keep the
blood rich and red, not only need not dread
consumption, but will ultimately become
healthy, robust people. Among those upon
whom consumption had fastened its fangs,
and who have proved the disease is curable,
is Mr. Ildege St. George, of ,St. Jerome,
ae. His story as related to a reporter of
Wevenir du Nord, will be of interest to
similar sufferers. Mr. St. George says :
It Up to the age of fifteen years, I had al -
wee e enjoyed the best of health, but at that
age 1 became greatly run down. I lost color,
suffered • constantly from headaohes and
pains in the sides; my appetite left me and
became very weak. For upwarde of three
yeare—though I was having Medical treat-
Meat—the trouble went on, Then I was
attacked by a cough, and was told that I
was in consumption: Then the doctor who
Was attending me ordered CII6 to the Lauren-
tian Mountains in the hope that the change
of air would benefit me. I remained'Illere
for enne time, bat did not improve, and re-
turned home feeling that I had not much
longer to live. Et was then that my iarents
decided that I should use Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills, and I began taking them. Af-
ter using several boxes my appetite began to
return, and this creerned to mark the change
whicb brought about my recovery, for with
the improved appetite came gradual but
surely increasing strength. I continued the
use of theyills, and dailyefelt the weakness,
that had threatened to end my life, disap-
pear, until 4naIly I was again enjoying good
health, and now, as those who know me can
see, I allow no trace of the illness I pearled
through. I believe Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
saved my life, and I hope my statement will
induce similar sufferers to try them."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make new, rich,
red blood. With every dose the blood is
strengthened, the quantity increased, and
thus the patient is enabled not only to re-
alst the further inroad of diaease, but is soon
restored to active health and strength. H
you are ill, or weak, or suffering from any
disease due to poor blood or weak nerves,
take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at once and
they will soon make you well. Those pills
are /fold by all dealers in medicine, or will
be sent post paid at 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for $2 50, by addressing the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Oat. -

You Must Have Grit.
Philip Ogilvie, a young Scotehman, was
an engineer, who fell in love with his em-
ployer's daughter, and she with him. He
Sta,ted the case to hie employer. " Ogilvie,"
Said the enraged man, `-` you are presumptu-
ous ; my daughter is worth thirty thousand
pewits; you have probably not so many
pence. I can dispense with your eervices
for the future."
"1! lack of wealth is all that can be urg-
ed againet me," was the reply. "1 will
speak to you again on the subject, sir. Good
morning."

He set, out for California, worked, toiled
and struggled, but for a long time no suc-
cess attended him. At last he was fortun-
ate; only to be robbed by an unscrupulous
partner. Again, through sheer grit, he suc-
ceeded ; but lost his all in a bank smash.
Leaving America he went to South Africa,
and was nearly killed in an attack by Zulus
en Salisbury Station. Recovering, he reach-
ed Bechuanaland, and eventually eight years
after leaving Glasgow he reached his native
city, the posseasor of fourteen thousand
pounds.
Hi persistence was rewarded, and he is
now partner and sou -in-law of the man who
once treated him so harshly, but now recog-
nizes his worth,
"Any fool can slide through the world,"
said an American humorist, " but if ye
want ter leave er mark yew must hey some
grit about ye*."

At the Change of Life. -
This trying ogl in woman's lifeeusually comes be.
tworn the ages of forty and fifty years and ie marked
by Irritability, headache, dizziness, irregular month-
lies, fitful appetite, forebodinge of evil,,palpitation ot
l

The Profit in Pigs.
From. 100 pounds of dry food, 9 pounds
of live steer, 11 pounds of live sheep and
nearly 24 pounds of live hog are produced,
or 264 per cent more pig than steer from a
given remount of food, though hogs consume
more costly food than either sheep or steers,
says Professor J. W. Sanborn in Kanses
Farmer. •
This astonishing growing power of the
pig is due to the greater amount of food
consumed and the all devouri eiite of
the pig.
It has been found that the pig °trimmed
from 3 to 7 per cent.: of ive weight
daily, while the steer made from 2 to 3111
per -cent., or about little over one-half as
much as the pig. In other words the pig
has power to eat, to digest and to assimil-
ate food to a greater extent than any other
animal on the farm. Theinter nal construc-
tion of the hog is built for this 'purpose diff-
ferently from the eteer.
Going further, I found that the, pig gives
a larger ratio of dressea carcass than does
the steer in proportion to live weight, giv-
ing 82 per cent. of dressed eremite to 65 per
cent. in the steer, or 50 per cent., with the
hide and tallow free. _
Still pressing the claims of the _hog over
the steer to their ligitimate issue, .1 find
that 100 pounds of food from the data given
produced 7.39 pounds of water and beim
free meat in the pig and 1.67 pounds of
beef for consumption, or the pig produces
4.42 per cent. times more food material than
the steer from 100 pounds of food.
The producer sells the pig fat for market
at as high as price as the best steer. . You
therefore get the benefit of the muoh larger
growth and gain per 100 pounds of food,
and the early maturity of the pig, not being
required to pass through one or two costly
winteis of little growth, all of which shows
the greater advantage of the hog over •the
steer.
The hog is the best marketer of grain and
grass that the farmer has. He brings it
quicker and at greater pepfit for the food
consumed than any other animal, while his
meat is the eheapest that can
for the consumer when the ec
cured product is taken into co
•

Hard on Noblemen.
A member of a fashionable club in London

attention to the matter in ad effective man-
ner, he caused this notice to be put up in
the hall :
"The tiablernan who took away an Um-
brella, not his own on such a date is request-
ed to return it."
The committee took offense at this state-
ment and summoned the member who made
it before thein. -
" Why, sir," they inquired, " should you
have supposed that a nobleman should have
taken your umbrella?"
"Well," replied the member, "the first
article in the club rules says that this
club is to‘ be composed of noblemen and
gentlemen,' and since the person who stop
my umbrella oould not have been a gentle-
!
man, he must have been a nobleman.'

PAINE'S CELEItY COMPOU-N D
- DOE'S THE GOOD WORK.
Didn't Want 'Angels.
A Georgia darky went out to an old field
to "seek and pray."
It was dusk, and he knelt down and put
up a long petition that the angels would
come and minister unto them.
Presently he heard a flapping of wings
behiad-him, end in a second he was making
the race horse time on the home road, where
he jumped into bed and covered his head
from sight.
A Cured Man Says: "It Would
Mean the Use of Pages to Tell
One Half of What
Paine's Celery Compound
Has Done For Me."
THE HURON' EXPORTOR,
ye've catched me again."
The miniater did his best to assure hers
that he preferred her in that dress. Before
leaving he prayed with her, but during the
prayer he heard an amount of unnecessary
rustling. When the prayer was ended he
found her Metamorphosed, with a triumph-,
ant look on her face. She had changed her
. .
gown in the meantime,
On an °octillion of ikejoicing at the manse
we invited the old women of the parish to
tea. The distances were great, but the
farmers were kind, and oonveyed the gueste
in carts to the gate. We Shall never forget
how nice they looked, clothed in all their
treasured finery. Old Mary was greatly in
evidence, and did her best to encourage the
/thrones. " Noo, dinna be feared, tak'
gude meal, the minister will no' eat ye,"
• and so on. When Betty Nichol was asked
what she would have, she replied—" What-
ever you like, sir, onything's good enough
for me."
" Hoots, woman, that's nae kind o'
answer," said Mary. " &et you tell the
minister what ye wad like bogie'.
She whispered to another—" Now dinna
be laying the banes on the clean tablecloth,
We'll jist pop them doon under the table."
After the repast was over She addressed
the maids—" Noo, lassies, we ve had a gran'
meal, an' we'll jist gang to the kitchen est('

That great and eidiele genius, Professor
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., L.L. D., the dis-
coverer of Paine's Celery Compound, spent
y,ears in perfecting his prescription before
he gave it to it world of suffering and dis-
ease. Years of severe tests and tens of
thousends of precious lives saved, have all
combined to make Paine's Celery Compound
the preeent day popular family medicine.
Paine'eRelery Compound has triumphed
over numberless cases of foul and deep-
seated blood diseases. It effectually cleanses
the blood, braces the weak nerves, builds
up flesh and a constitution capable of reeiet-
ing sickness and disease. Mr. A. E. Ham-
mond, Mansonville, P. Q, cured by Paine's
Celery Celery Compound, writes thus :
"Some five yeare ago it was my sad mis-
fortune to be afflicted with scrofula sores, of
which I had five on one legetnd three on the
other. These were running sores for four
years. In addition to this I was taken
down with rheumatism in the small of my
back so badly that I could not get off my
'bed.; and to further intensify my sufferings,
I had sick' headache in the worst form.
" While in this condition, a friend of
mine, Mr. Perkins,a merchant of this place,
sold me a bottle of Paine'e Celery Com-
pound, with the express understanding that
if it did me no good I should pay nothing
for it.
"In email -jug this offer, I had no idea of
ever feeling under and obligation to pay, for
the Compound, as I had no faith in it doing
me good. To my very great surprise, how-
ever, I grew better ; and by the time I had
'used three bottles I was as well as ever, and
what I never expected' to see was realized,
viz. : the sere% on my legs were entirely
healed.
" It would mean the U89 of pages to tell
one half of what Paine's Celery Compound
has done for me. This mavellous .cure hare

French Canadian Cows.
(Written for Tye, Ex POKITOR.)
Since this test commenced on' May 1st,
there have been a great- many inquiries
about the French•Canacgan cows, their
work having aroused considerable interest
in all parts of the country.
The French settlers who first came to
Canada were natives of Brittany and Nor-
mandy, France. The firet cattle in Quebec,
in 1620 or thereabouts -were brought, no
doubt, -from these two districts. No im-
portations of other breeds worth mention-
ing are reported in the history of the pro-
vince until about 1800. Between 1776 and
1850, a few herds ot Eisglieh cattle, mostly
-Ayrshires and Shorthorn, were brought in-
to the province, but they were brought by
wealthy Englishmen living near Montreal
and Quebec, where they are still to be
found. They found but little favor with
the Freneh inhabitants in the poorer region
and in the remote pens along the Lauren-
tian and the lower.partsieof- the St. Law-
rence, both north and south, as they were
loth to crois their hardy little cows with
the larger breeds, fearing, with good reason,
that they could not grow sufficient feed to
keep the larger animals alive, to say noth-
ing of profit, during the seven months of the
The Wrong Sex.
Disguieing himself as a woman, Charles
Baker, aged 17, worked three weeks as a
domestic servant in a boarding-house in
Chicago without being detected. He was
employeid by Mrs Robert Whimeet, on
Lake 'avenue, and performed the usual
household duties, including cooking and
sewing. The deception was discovered
through the attempts of a boarder to make
love to the "new girl." As an excuse for the
escapade, he said that en account of his
feminine appearanoe he could not get em-
ployment, and he had no other way of mak.

Old Mary and the Minister.
An interesting character in our palish
was old Mary. She had a surname, hut we
seldom heard it. She was known in the
parish only " old Mary." If there was
ever a case of a merry heart doing good like
a medieine it was that of Mary. She had
such a " cheery " way with her and always
looked en the brightside of things. She
had a husband, but he was the inferior
moiety, and was known at Dan or Mary's
husband. Now, there was _nothing Daniel
rejoiced in so much as being able to outwit
his clever wife. Mary used tohide their
money among the dieles on the " dresser"
,—gometimes in one of the many jugs under
the teacups, and soi on. Dan would slip
into the house when Mary was milking the
cow, make a search for it, and slip some
pieces into his pocket. He really did not
want the coins ; it was just for the pleas-
, ure of telling his companione that he had
cheated Mary, and of teasing her about it
when he thought a suitable moment had ale
rived.
The first time we called for Mary we
efound her in *hat she called her "state of
dishabeelie."

Some Things Worth Knowing.
—Open air exercise and freely mingling
with people are prescribed as the best cure
for blushing.
—Women should alwass remember that
with the ellen skirt a short coat should be
worn, otherwise it is extraordinary how the
length of the leg may be shortened.
—You can always heat up the cold sails -
ages for breakfast by dipping them in
beaten egg, then in fine bread crumbs, and
foing them quickly in boiling lard or drip-
ping.
—In hanging pictures it is to be remem-
bered that although oil paintings look better
hung in the usual way, with a sloping in
from the top to the wall at the bottom e yet
etchings and water colors often look better
hung fiat against the wall.
—A watch should be cleaned every two
years or so. Any one having the misfor-
tune to drop his watch into water, &a,
should take it at once to a watchmaker to
have it taken to pieces and cleaned, for a
delay ofseven an hour might spell the watch
forever,
—Giddiness or vertigo, is alwrins a Ryan
ptomatio condition, and is caused by digest-
ive disturbance, altered conditions of the
circulation in the brain, and a variety of
other cause', such as malaria, exposure to
the sun's rays, hemorrhage disease of the
ear, or orgardc disease of the brain. Digest-
ive dieorders are most commonly the causes
of vertigo, and the patient generally com-
plains ot his distress after a hearty meal.
—For a coli, says a physician, the first
best thing is 4est. If not complete, ;then
as much as 3seible. Muscular exertion
must not be indulged in while there is fever
and the chillineee on exposure to the air
that accompanies it. The cough must be
stimulated and softened, not treacherously.

Good Rtory. Told by at Former Kan-
sas Attorney General:
One of the best stories General Archie.
Williams ever drew from his vast reper-
tory is told on himself. Many years ago,
when attorney general of Kansas, Mr.
Williams had occasion to make a trip to
the east. He had no railroad passes east
of the Missouri river, so he borrowed an
annual over an Illinois road from his old
friend Jake Smith. It happened during
the first stretch through Illinois that the
conductor of the train. on which the Kan-
sas man rode was a former schoolmate of
his. The conductor recognized Williams,
but Williams didn't recognize the con-
ductor, and about this fact the fun of the
story hangs.
"Mr. Smith," said the conductor, after
working his iraln and returning to have a
chat with his passenger from Kansas, "I
see you are from Topeka. Did you ever
know a man out there by the name --ef
A.rcbie Williams?"
"Yes, I knew him very -well," responded
the psuedo Smith, atter struggling hard
to steady his nerve and regain his com-
posure. "Yes, Williams is considerable
of a fellow out there. He's -attorney gen-
eral of the state."
"Who, Williams? Attorney general?
Well, I'll be —1" ejaculated the con-
ductor. "What kind ot people are they
out there in Kansas to elect a chuckle -
heed like that for -attorney general?
Why, sir, I used to know Williams back
here in Illinois—grew up with him, you
Might say—and of all the dundle pated,
slabsided, step on himself and fall over
fellers you ever Saw, Williams was the
worst. That man attorney general?
.Why, it you will believe me,. Mr. Smith,
- he didn't know law enough to wad a shot-
gun. Ile was run out of here hemline"—
"Stop it! Stop it!" ced Williams,
springing to his feet. " here is your
blankety blink Smith pass. Take it up
and collect fare if you want to, but you
can't abuse me any longer!"
The Business InatInet.
On one occasion in n London theater
thh business instinCt came out strongly.
A relative of the lessee was enacting the
part of an indignant father whose son
bad got into the hands of the money lend-
ers. In the Interview with the money
lender the father severely lectured him,
and then demanded his son's bill. "There,
sir," he said, "is toy check for a thousand
pounds."
The money lender was Just reaching
out for the check when a voice came from
the pit: "Don't you take it, old chap. I've
get eye of his now for six pound ten, and
he's asked me to hold it for a fortnight."
About Titled People.
The young queen of Hollaud is a total
abstainer and ostentatiously refuses on all
public occasions to take wine. Her most
intimate friend Princess Pauline of Wur-
temberg, was by her won over to the ranks
of the teetotalera Now that King Hum-
bert is dead it is- said Queen Wilhelmina is
the only teetotal reigning monarch, if one
excepts the sultan of Turkey.
*
Prince Francis of Teck has vastly enjoyed
his Scottish visits this autumn. He wound
them up by spending some days with Mr.
and Mrs. Guthrie, at Torosa,y castle, a
place close to the ruins of Duart, the
ancient strongholds of the Macleans.
Prince Francis, although the Almanach de
Gotha counts him as belonging to the royal
house of Wurtemburg, is very proud of his
Scottish blood. Through his mother, Prin-
cess Mary of Cembridge he is a great--
grandson of George Id, and therefore
deecends in as direct a line from the Stuart
kings as does Edward VII 'himself. His
soldier's life, too, has not absorbed him to
the exclusion of other interests, and he
knows more about Mull aud Morven, Lorn
and Lismore, than do most of the south -
dwelling folk who tour through the western
isles.
Just opposite the window of the prince's
room at Torosay lies the long low rock -reef
where a Maclean of Duart placed his wife
that she might perish at flood tide. It hap-
pened 350 year ago, but the bad blood
made between the murdering husband and
the wife's avenging people has not even yet
completely died out. The lady was a
Campbell, daughter of Archibald, earl of
Argyll. She was rescued by some of her
servants, unknown to Maclean. Imagining
she was safely drowned, the sorrowing wid-
ower had a stately funeral furnished forth,
and, with fitting grief and skirling lament,
carried a coffin full of stones to the burying
place. The Campbells bided their time,
waited until their prey was wholly in their
power, then produced their sister, the liv-
ing proof of his pn.fidy, and Blew him where
he stood. Wild fighting followed .this, as
Might be expected in those wild times, and
to this day there is no friendship lost be-
tween Macleana and Campbells.
Use For HIS Head.
While a certain infantry regiment was
stationed at Aldershot it had among the
recruits a country yokel who was such a
great duffer that the sergeant could not
beat anything into him.
One day, while the recruits were being
inspected by the offictors, the countryman
seemed more awkward than ever. At
last the angry drill sergeant shouted to
him:
"Man, what is your head on for?"
"Why, to keep my collar from slipping
off," was the ready retort.
