COLUMN
Sawed to Buddha's Tooth.
The " Temple of the Sacred Tooth " a
Kandy, Ceylon, is a meager erection to have
such a dignified title. The Wihara or cham-
ber in which the sacred grinder is kept is of
small dimensions, not over twelve feet
square, and is entered through a narrow
eorridor in which a lamp has been perpetu-
ally b,a.ning for nearly 1000 years. The
interior o' the building presents a strange
contrast with the exterior and the general
surroundings.
It is probably the most richly furnished
room of its size in the world, being hung
throughout with gold lace and brocades, the
panels being inlaid with gold, diamonds,
carved ivory, etc. Standing upon atable of
massive hammered silver in the center of
this room is the Karunda or sacred recep-
tacle contain ing the sacred tooth itself, This
Karunda iss kept continually wrapped in
several fold of fine white silk which one is
apt to mistake for muslin. The attending
priest removes this fabric, disclosing a dome
of gilded silver about five feet high, studded
with a few costly gems. Next, this silver
dome itself is removed, this latter act un-
covering a smaller dome of pure gold, liter-
ally encrusted with sapphires, ruoies, emer-
alds, diamonds, " cat's eyes," and the various
other costly gems for which Ceylon is so
celebra ted.
Under the first dome of gold are two
others of the same precious metal. which
m ist be removed before the sacred tooth is
finally reached. The tooth rests in -a box of
errs hammered gold on films of the sacred
w lite spider's web. After all of this dazzle
o` gold, silver, diamonds, etc., which seem
t speak unconsciously of the wealth of the
O :eat, one is quite naturally disappointed
w -en the sacred object itself is at last dis-
c' sed. The tooth rests upon an imitation
1 .tus leaf carved in gold. It is about two
i aches in length and one and a quarter across
the crown. This, the priest tells yon, was
the first fully matured tooth that ever fell
from the Supreme Buddha's jaw.
The Most Wonderful Baby.
In /7z1 there was born at Lubeck, Ger-
many, one of the most remarkable charac-
ters ever known in the history of the world,.
or perhaps that will ever he known in all
time to come. This human prodigy was
little Christian Henry Heinecken, who
could pronounce every word cortained in
the German language when but 01 months
old.
When 1 year of age he knew all of the
leading events in the world's history and
was as familiar with Pentateuch as most
modern professors are supposed -to be with
their first text books. At 14 months he
sonld give a complete history of every book
In both the Old and New Testaments ; and
at 2 years 6 months he could answer any
question in geography or history, ancient
or modern. At that age he was able to
hold conversation with tnelearned European
savants in either German, French, Latin or
Dutch. He did not live to see the end of
his fourth year, but during the few short
weeks allotted to him little Henry was a
baby, boy, youth, man,and gray -beard, that
is, as far as the knowledge of worldly affairs
were concerned. He had learned more in
his three years and a. half of life than many
of the world's greatestpersonages have been
able to learn in their "three score years and
ten."
Just prior to his death he was called be-
fore the King of Denmark, his Majesty
showing the little prodigy every mark of
respect. Early is 1724 he returned tc his
native Lubeck to complete his studies. of
Oriental religions which, added to his other
acquirements, was too much for his delicate
constitutions resulting in his death as above
mentioned. See article 66 Heinecken" in
any good encyclepiedia.
The New Zealander's Heaven.
The New Zealanders imagine that the
souls of the dead go to a place beneath the
earth called Beings. The path which leads
to this abode of " mgr.'s immortal part " is
believed to be along a dangerous precipice
close to the roaring ocean at the North
Cape. It is also thought that the na-
tives who live near the path can hear the
sounds caused by the passing of spirits
through the air. Another remarkable super-
stition among them, and one that bears di-
'ectly upon their belief in a future life, is
that the left eye of every chief becomes a
star as aeon as the chief dies. Shungle, a
eele'.rated New _ Zealand chieft&n, once
ate the eye of smother valiant leader,
thanking that thereby he could increase
the brilliancy of his own " eye star."
L-ageads and superstitions now current
among thein would load one to the
opinioa that they Dace bad a belief in a
separate immortality for each of the eyes
el thedead, the left ascending to heaven to
become a star, the right descending to
Reinga.
It aright be mentioned in this connection
the natives of the Sandwich Islands (and
More especially those living in the vicinity
of vo!cauic and hot springs), formerly held
s curious medley of confused notions and
queer ideas concerning the future abode of
the soul. The souls of their chiefs accord-
ing to, these odd.fancies, were led by a. god,
whose name signified " the eye ball of the
sun," to a land of bliss fat beyond the "orb
of day," while the souls of all the common
people, went down to Ekea, a place corre-
sponding with the New Zealander's Beings.
What Color is the Sun?
One of the shining lights of astronomical
,ciente has this to say in regard to the color
of the sun : " I firmly believe that the
true color of the son is blue. It may be
asked : " What suggests the idea of Old
Sol's cerulean hue?" My own attention
was turned in that direction years ago,
while measuring the heat and light from
different parts of the sun's disc. It is known
that the sun has an atmosphere of its own.
which tempers its heat and by cutting off
certain radiations and not others produces
the' spectral line' with which we are so
familiar.
These lines we usually study in con-
nection with the absorbing vapors of sod-
ium, iron, etc., which produce them ; but
my own attention was particularly given to
the regions of absorption, or to the colors it
ceased. In these investigations I found
that the sun's body must be of a deep blue
color ; and that it would give out a blue
light except for the solar atmosphere ! The
sun's atmosphere (as well as that of our own
little world) are usually spoken of as being
colorless, but they really play the part of
a reddish veil, letting a little of the blue
appear on the'centre of the sun's disc and
staining the remainder red, so as to appear
as being of a pale aqua marine in the center
and a deep garnet at the edge. * * *
Weee it no For the intervention of our own
atmosphere and that of the suk we would
have blue sunshine and the gie..t orb itself
would apps r se being of a brillfint cerulean
true.'"
- The Cook's- Lisp
CORNED BEEF.—Many.; make -the mistake
of thinking that an indifferent piece of meat
will do for corning. On the contrary; pick
out a nice piece. To boil, first wash well,
pet it on in cold water and allow it to come
very gradually to a boil ;'then simmer
gently, allowinghalf an hour to every pound.
If the beef is boiled at a " gallop " it may
be cooked in a shorter time, but will be
" raggy" and coarse-grained instead of even
and tender. If to be served cold it should
cool in the water in which it was boiled. If
cooked with vegetables, allow an hour and
a half for cabbage, an hour for turnips and
half an hour for potatoes. For pressing,
bone five or six pounds of the brisket, tie in
a cloth, boil as directed above, then place
over night between two large tin plates
with a weight on top, and it is ready for use
when the cloth is removed. Tbis is a very
nice luncheon, tea or sapper dish, and will
keep for several days.
LEMON PIE.—The juice and rind of one
lemon, one cup of sugar, two eggs, one
cracker, one half cup of milk. Pound the
crackers fine, and mix with the yolks well
beaten, the milk, sugar and lemon. Bake
in a good crust. Have the whites beaten to
a stiff froth with one tablespoonful of sugar
and spread over the top of the pie ; put it
in a slow oven and brown a few minutes.
TRAINING GINGERBREAD.—TWO cups of
brown sugar, one cup of butter, mixed to a
cream. Add two well -beaten eggs, a cup-
ful of sour milk, a teaspoonful of soda, the
same of ginger, a pinch of salt, and the
'enough so you can roll out the dough and
make into a sheet,' half an inch thick. It
will take about three pintsof flour. When
baked, glase the top with a mixture of mo-
lasses and water, or the heated white of an
egg.
PEPPER PICKLES.—Take large, green
peppers, remove the seed, soak in strong
brine for two days, changing the water.
stuft with chopped cabbage well seasoned
with spices. Sew up, place in a jar and
cover with vinegar.
TABLE MUSTARD.—Pat three large tea-
spoonfuls of ground mustard into a bowl,
and pour on enough warm water to make a
stiff paste. Rub smooth, add half a cupful
of vinegar, one tablespoonful of sugar, a
pinch of salt, and the beaten yolks of two
eggs. Set the bowl in boiling water and
stir until it thickens. Then add butter the
size of an egg, and continue the stirring un-
til it is dissolved. This is a fine dressing
for cold meats.
CHOCOLATE CAKE.—One half cup of batter,
two cups of sugar, two cups of flour, one
half cup of hot coffee, one fourth cup of
milk, two eggs, two teaspoonfuls of vanilla,
one square of chocolate. Rub the butter
and sugar to a cream, and add the beaten
eggs and then the milk. Grate the choco-
late fine, and add to it the coffee which
should be very hot ; stir well and gradually
add this mixture to the butter, sugar and
eggs. Sift tho powder and flour together,
add the flour, beating well ; and then put
in the vanilla. Bake in one loaf for forty
minutes and, in a moderate oven.
PRESERVED TOMATOES.—Use small, rcund
or pear shapedtomatoes, but fully ripe.
Five pounds of tomatoes, five pounds of
sugar,two desert spoonfuls of ground ginger,
juice and grated rind of three lemons. Fut
the sugar into a porcelain -lined kettle, add
1 the . Finger and a half-pint of water boil
( slowly until no scum rises. It must be skim-
med frequently while boiling. Then add the
tomatoes and juice and rind of the lemons,
and boil slowly until the tomatoes
are done. Remove the fruit, put in glass
jars, boilthe syrup ten or fifteen minutes
longer, pour over them and seal while hot.
PRESERVED PEACHES.—Take ripe but not
soft peaches. Pour boiling water over then:
to take off the skins which will pull off
easily. Weigh equal quantities of fruit and
sugar, and put them together in an earthen
pan over night. In the morning pour off
the syrup and boll a few minutes ; set off
the kettle and take off the scum. Put the
kettle back on the fire ; when the syrup
boils up put in the peaches. Boil thein
slowly three-quarters of an hour, take them
out and put in jars. Boll the syrup fifteen
minutes more and pour ever them.,
PICKLED PEACH5s—Lase ripe but hard
peaches and put a whole clove in each. Put
a pound of brawn sugar in two quarts of
vinegar, then boil up twice aud skim. While
hot pour it over the peaches and cover
them close, In a week or two pour the
vinegar offend scald. After this the peaches
will keep well.
QUINCE AND APPLE PRESERVE.—Pare,
core, and quarter two-thirds in weight of
quip es and one third of fine sweet apples.
Allow an equal quantity of augur for fruit.
Boil the quince in water until tender, the
take it out and boil the apple in the quince
water with the sugar added until it is red
and clear, which may take an hour and a
half. Do not boil the quince in the syrup
but after the apple is done, put layers of
apple into ajar with layers of the quince,
waich had been cooked tender in the water,
then pour the syrup over all.
PICKLED PLUMS. —If you wish to keep the
plums whole, prick them with a needle. To
every quart of plums allow one half pound
of sugar and one pint of the best cider vine-
gar. Melt the sugar in the vinegar and put
spices of all sorts in a fine muslin bag, let it
boil up, then pat in the plums and give
them one good boil.
Bou.ED CABBAGE—Remove the outer
leaves, cut in quarters and soak in plenty of
very cold water for an hour ; shake it out
of the water and let it stand forfifteen min-
utes covered with boiling water ; press out
the water, then put to boil in a large kettle
of boiling water ; cook from one to two hours
according to the age of the cabbage ; add
salt when nearly done. When tender take
out with the skimmer into a warm colander,
shake a little, then press the water out with
a saucer (scoop side down), rub a little but-
ter through and serve in a hot dish. If it
is liked chopped, rub a little butter in a hot
saucepan and stir the vegetable over the fire
for a moment.
A small bit of Chili pepper is pronounced
by some cooks as a better agent to prevent
the unpleasant odor from boiling cabbage
than charcoal.
The Earth Will Fall to Pietas !
The members of the Royal Society o f
Great leritain,led by Professor Jones, an
eminent scieritist, are discussing the dangers
our American gas well drillers are thrust-
ing upon the whole population of the globe.
Those who believe that there is real danger
from that source argue that the earth is a
gigantic balloon, held up (in part at least),
by internal heat and gases. This being the
case, a continual drain on nature's great
gas main will eventually exhaust the sup-
ply and cause the earth's crust to break in,
and, perhaps, fall into millions of pieces as
it collapses prior to falling through space
everlasting. There is reason to suppose
that there is some foundation for the alarm
these prophets of evil have been sounding
for the past three or four years. The.
steady belching forth -of millions of feet of
gas every hour is surely causing a great
vacuum somewhere not far beneath the
surface. That the comparatively thin crust
over this fast -emptying cavern is more than
likely to break and cause great havoc on
e surface there is little doubt
Gravenhurst Has a Genuine Sen-
sation.
The Strange Story of a Brakeaman-Given
Up For Lost—The Townspeople Excited
—Interview With the Mayor.
(Toronto Mail )
(From Our Own Reporter.)
GRAVENHURST, Sept. 29.—The great fire
that swept this town into ashes a few years
ago did not create more of a sensation than
the case of Sam Murray. .A short sketch
of the affair was given in The Mail on Sep-
tember 23, being copied from the local
paper. The following day this letter was
received at the Mail office.
DEAR SIn,—In this morning's Mail there
appears a lengthy article purporting to be
copied from a Gravenhurst;'paper, in which
one Sam Murray is said to have been snatch-
ed from the jaws of death through the won-
derful merits of a quack medicine called
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
I have been for years a regular reader of
The Mail, and often noted your announce-
ment "I€ you see it in the Mail it's so." I
would like to ask does Sam Murray exist
in the flesh or is he a myth existing only in
fertile imagination of sume patent medicine
man who would hesitate at no statement to
carry out his designs of gulling the public.
In the interest of truth and science some
member of your staff should personally in-
vestigate this case, and either prove it true
or else stamp it as a fraud and a falsehcod.
Yours etc.,
--, M. D.
Such a letter could not go unchallenged,
and to prove the truth or falsehood of the
story as suggested a member of The Mail
staff was detailed to go to Gravenhurst and
find out if mph a man as Sam Murray lived
there to thoroughly investigate his case.
In accordance with these instructions I
arrived here this afternoon. The finger of
autumn has already touched nature in this
great. summer resort. The trees are turn-
ing many colors and the rocks are looking
bleak and uninviting. The wharves are
deserted except for a stray hunter or two
with guns going north to chase the unof-
fending partridge, for the new game law
will not permit deer shooting till November.
The saw mills are still running, and the
dripping logs are rapidly being chewed up
by the circular saws into piles of golden
colored lumber. The streets of the town
are rather deserted, for it is the off season
between the rush of the summer tourists
and hardy Iumbermen. who start north into
the great pine forest in a few weeks. In
order to get a clue to Sam Murray I first
found the mayor of the town, . Mr. J. J.
McNeill, Mr. McNeill is a middle-aged
man, with a brown beard and a very pleas-
ant manner. He has an air of business
about him, and combines the push and
energy of the lumbermen with the savor
faire of the man of the world. He has
political aspirations, if what they say is
true, and a few years from now may see
him sitting in some of our halls of legisla-
tion.
THE MAYOR OF GRAVENHURST.
"Do you know if a man called Sam Mur-
ray lives in Gravenhurst?" he was asked.
"Yes, I guess you will find Sam Murray
up there painting the town hall. Murray
is the man everybody is talking about, so I
guess he's the man you want."
"Who is this Murray. Do you know
anything about him?" Well, Murray has
been living here sixor seven years with his
family. He worked in a mill for a time and
then went to work on the Northern Rail-
way. He was rather unfortunate as a
brakesman, for he lost a portion of his hand.
One night in summer he fell down on the
sidewalk here for dead. He revived, and
the same thing happened several times.
Then he was laid up and we all thought
that he was going to die. We expected
him to die every minute. One night 1 re-
member Mr. James Anderson and I called
to see how he was getting along. The
doctor was in at the time, and as he stood
at his bedside the doctor said that "Sam was
done up," and there was not much prospect
of his e er recovering, that it was only a
question of a few weeks at the most."
"Did the doctor say what was the matter
with hint?"
"He called it acme strange name, and
when he said Sam's prospects were so slim,
we felt rather sorry for his family. - The
general opinion was that he would only
livea short time, as his case was consider-
ed incurable"
" Do you know what cured him ?"
" Some kind of pills I believe. All I
know is that he is all right again, working
at the town hall, painting it. You had
better go and see himself: Anybody in
town will tell you about the case."
SAM MURRAY'S STORY.
Sam Murray was found busy painting at
the town hall. He was a young man about
twenty-eight or twenty-nine years of age,
with bright blue grey eyes, brown hair, and
over the middle height. He is appar: ntly
in the beat of health and spirits, and does
not look et all like a man who only a few
short months ago was covered in sores, his
limbs paralysed, and his case given up' as
hopeless. He is as active and his akin aid
eyes are as clear as those of an athlete in
training. He was shown the extract from
the Gravenhurst Banner published in The
Mail and was eskel if be was the man re-
ferred to. He said :—" Yes, Ism the Sam
Murry referred to, but I don't like to have
my name put in the paper. I would like
for the benefit of the public to tell how I
was cured, but people will think that I am
only anxious to get say name in the paper.
You know how some people view these
things." " But we want to know all about
this case. Your name has already been pub-
lished and some people are unkind enough
to hint that your case is not genuine, and
that no such a man as Sam Murray exists."
" Well, if they do they say what is not
true," said Sam, his blue eyes kindling
savagely. " I have the documents to prove
everything I say. The doctors gave me up.
Everybody gave me up for dead. Now, I
do not look like a dead man, do I ? Ask
anybody in Gravenhurst or any of the train-
men on the Northern railway system if they
know me, and they will all vouch for what
I say."
" Well, the public would like to hear
your story right from your lips."
"1'11 tell you then, and you can publish
it if you wish. About six years ago I came
to Gravenhurt. My brother and I Worked
in a mill for some time. Then Mr. Torrey,
the local manager of the Grand Trunk, got
me job as brakesman. After working at
that for some time my fingers w er caught
while coupling cars and I lost these fingers
(holding up a hand from which three fingers
were missing). This was on Sept. 17, 1890.
When I got this hand crushed gangrene
set in and the flesh began to mortify.
I went to the Toronto General Hospital and
the doctors there took me before
some two hundred students and lectur-
ed to them about my hand. They
used a lot of big words and told me to
come back in a week or so and then the line

to heal. Some of ;the poison must he ve-got
into my, system, -as I never felt es well after
that. x felt miserable. I was braking for
some time on -the Meaford mail and then
went on the Muskoka mixed, and later on I
was changed to the train that rens between
Gravenhurst and North Bay. I lost flesh
and some thought I was going into consump-
tion. I went down from about 200 to 140
pounds, My back troubled me and I had a
strange feeling about the small of the back
and between my shoulder blades. I often
felt a strange feeling of dizziness in niy head.
On the evening of June 19th last year I was
walking down street with a lady after get-
ing back from a run to North Bay. I did
not feel very well that day. All of a sudden
I fell as if I had been shot, I was carried
into Dr. Cornell's. I had no power of my
lower limbs. The doctor said that I was suf-
fering from paralysis. He told me to take
great care of myself. A few days later while
rowing on the lake I took another spell.
This time it was my arms that gave oat.
They took me ashore and I revived some.
After that the spells came on with greater
frequency. My back was constantly bother-
ing me, and I seemed to lose the power of
my limbs. My body began to come out in
sores, pimples and boils. The doctor said
my bleed was diseased, and that I was as
good as a dead man. For months I codld
not sleep on my back or sides, I had to lay
on my face. My limbs were so swollen
that I did not wear boote for nearly two
years. I belonged to the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and to the insurance
branch of the Grand Trunk Railway, and
received sick benefits. The Grand Trunk
had a number of doctors to look into my
case. I was sent to Toronto a number
of times at the expense of the Grand Trunk
to consult specialists. At last four doctors
gave sworn certificates that I could never
recover so as to work on a tram again. The
Grand Trunk Railway paid me half my life
insurance on account of total disability.
One day a little book was thrown into my
door. My wile picked it up and read it to
me, The book was called " Kidney talk,"
and it said that diseased kidneys were the
cause of a great many diseases that were
ascribed to the liver and other organs. Dis-
eased kidneys poisoned the blood, and the
blood poisons the remainder of the system.
As my back had been troubling me for a long
time, it struck me that my kidneys most be
affected. I had tried doctors' medicines and
all the patent medicines in the market, but
got no relief. It -dawned on me that the pain
and sore feeling in my back told of diseased
kidneys, also that it was the poison from the
kidneys in my blood that caused the erup-
tions on my body and poisoning my brain
and nerves gave me the fainting and paralyt-
ic spells. The book said the kidneys were
the sewers that cleaned the blood of impuri-
ties thrown off frotn the system. I thought
I would try the pills called Dodd's Kidney
Pills anyway, to see if my kidneys were af-
fected, and in this way my constitution was
being undermined. We got a box of the
pills from Dr. Cornell's drug store, and I
had only taken a few of them when I began
to feel better.. When I had taken about a
dozen boxes I felt as well as I ever did. Peo-
were so surprised to see me on my pins
again that they would hardly believe it.
The newspaper here got hold of my story
and they published it as a marvellous cure.
It is. If I had not taken these pills I would
have been in my grave long before this. I
am sure hundreds of people are dying every
year of disease brought on by diseased kid-
neys.
" But Mr. Murray this is your story.
Have you any proof beyond this? Have
you these doctors' certificates?"
" Yes, at my house. You can see Mr.
Terrey, the station master here. He paid
my disability claim for the Grand Trunk.
Come down to my place and I.will show you
the certificates."
Upon arriving at Murray's house he got
the doctor's certificates. One is from a
prominent physician who is a member of
Parliament. It said that Murray's blood
was poisoned, and that he would never re-
cover.
" I said that I received my total disabil-
ity claim from the Grand Trunk.Railway.
I am also a member of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen. The supreme author-
ities are now considering my case. They
have sworn certificates from the doctors to
say that I will never recover. I have, how-
ever sent the following letter to the Grand
Secretary of the Brotherhood at Galesburg,
III. Here it is ;—
A copy of the letter was produced, and
it reads as follows :
To the Gram Secretnrwof the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen Galesburg, lll.
BROTHEPs, —Although my claim for total
disability has been duly passed and allow-
ed, and up to within a short time I had
fully expected to have to depend entirely on
it for the sustenance of my family, I am
now more than pleased to inform you, that
so far as bodily health is concerned, I feel
that it is fully regained, and consider my-
self in honor bound by the ties of brother-
hood to submit my case conscientiously re-
gardless of beneficiary considerations. Up
to afew days ago, although noting gradual
improvement, I could not realize that any
more than temporary relief was being ob-
tained and lived in dread of a relapse to the
old condition. Some time ago I was induced
to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. I did so with
visable benefit from the start and I fully
believe has resulted in permanent restora-
tion—although the doctors caution me
against again taking up train work. In
connection with this statement I would re-
spectfully ask you to take into consideration
the fact that for two years I have been un-
able to work and am at present not only
without money but considerably embarrass-
ed on acoount of living expenses during my
sickness. Any consideration therefore that
I am entitled to or benefit that you may see
fit to extend at the present time will not

" Where did you get these pills you speak
of ?"
"I got them at Dr. Cornell's drug store.
They are called Dodd's Kidney Pills and
they are worth their weight in gold. They
are made in Toronto. Let me see, Ill give'
you the address," pulling a little book out
of his pocket. " This book is Kidney Talk.
I always carry a couple of copies to give to
my friends. This little book saved my life
and I prize it next to my Bible. Every-
body should read this book. The medi-
cine is made by Dr. L. A. Smith & Co., To-
ronto. You should call and see some of
the people that make the pills and tell
them about my case. I have recommend-
ed the pills to my friends and those
who have tried them tell me they give good
results. But you had better see Dr. Cor-
nell, Mr. Torrey, and some other people in
Gravenhurst. Don't take my word for it."
Time will not permit this to be done for
this issue so they will be interviewed to
morrow.

Ore of those psychologleaq
which occasionally come to the
bother men's `minis occurred m 4)** 609
with the death of young Ralph IiBiaoJ1ei
who was killed by an electric car .ini'orflltoh
a few days ago. On Friday night of the
week previous to Ralph Blackley's death,
Walter Hampden was in Butcher Bower-
ing's house on King street west, _Hamilton.
There were three or four others present be-
sides Mrs. Bowering, and the conversation
turned on the subject of dreams. After
two or three instances had related of dreams
having come true, Hampden related a
dream which he had the previous night
and which had been in his mind all
that day. He said he dreamt that Ralph
Blackley had been killed by a trolley car
and while his listeners gathered around he
gave a vivid description of the fatal acci-
dent. He described it very minutely and
each man who heard the story of his dream
that night had the whole story moatpain-
fully recalled to mind by the published ac-
count of the unfortunate law student's
Beeth on Sunday last. The accident oc-
curred almost exactly as Hampden
had
seen it in his dream the week before.
Commendable.
All claims not consistent with the high
character of Syrup of Figs are purposely
avoided by the Cal. Fig Syrup Company.
It acts gently on the kidneys, liver and
bowels, cleansing the system effectually,
but it is not a cure-all and makes no pre-
tensions that every bottle will not substan-
tiate.
The Brazil nut contains from fifteen to
twenty-four seeds, which all germinate at
one time. The most vigorous one gets first
through a small hole at the top to the open
air, and there upon it strangles and feeds
upon the rest.
A Question of Seconds.
That is the title of a capital little sketch
in black and white from the brush of H. F.
Ferny. It shows a train on a siding in the
woods, a crescent noon lighting dimly the
tops of the dark pines. Beside the engine
stands the conductor, lantern on arm, in
consultation with the engineer, who has just
climed down fromhis cab. They are com-
paring their watches, and it is a "question
of seconds " as to peace or peril. The sketch
was drawn for the great Dueber Watch
Case Company, and was the idea of President
Dueber to show graphically the importance
to life and limb of " a question of seconds "
in watches. A second too slowa second
too fast, means much with railway men.
That's why they all use the ever accurate
Dueber watches. Messrs. Frank S. Taggart
& Co., 89 King street west, Toronto, are
special selling agents for these celebrated
watches. See their advertisement in this
issue.
Artificial teeth are so much in use nowa-
days that it took 40,000,000 of them to sup-
ply the demand last year.

"It is with pleasure that I tell of the great
benefit I derived from Hood's Saasaparilla.
For 6 years I have been badly addicted with
Erysipelas
breaking out with running sores during hot
summer months. I have sometimes not been
able to use my limbs for two months at a time.
Being induced to try Hood's Sarsaparilla, I got
one bottle last spring, commenced using it; felt
so much better, got two bottles more; took
them during the summer, was able to do my
housework, and
Walk Two Miles
which I had not done for six years. Think I
am cured of erysipelas, and recommend any
person so afflicted to use
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Four bottles has done more for me than $200
worth of other medicine. I think it the best
blood purifier known." MRs. H. D. WEST.
