The movement is boom- ing. Hon. Edward Blake's condition is at least no worst, though it has not improved much since he left the House. A Toronto dispatch says that the ripen . that he is confined to his bed is incorrect, but he finds relief in resting frequently during the day. Rudolf Hertzog is the largestydry-goods merchant in the city of Berlin. He says that before he began to advertise he barely cleared expenses. The first year be spent $238 in advertising, and his income rose to $7,140 ; so he went on increasing the amount and his profits in proportion, until at present his advertising bills foot up $100,060 every year.

A citizen of Pasadena,Cal., kept the wolf from the door during the winter by fur- nishing the village druggist with all the horned tuadshe could capture. Altogether he brought in several thousands and reeeivr ed good pay for them. What the druggist wanted with them nobody else knows, but he is supposed to have utilized the nil ex• traoted from them in the manufacture of a patent medicine.

Marshall, a prominent resident of -New 'York city, calls attention through the press there, to the fact that lour Sundays of liquor prohibition have rhe ulted in an entire freedom, on those days. from robbery, stabbing, shooting or ruurder. In this connection he quotes Superintendent Stocking, oft Blackwell's Island, who says that the total commit- ments have fallen off thirty six percent -since the enforcement of the Sunday law.

Baldwin, the terms of which required him to, jump from a balloon held captive 2,000 feet from the ground, and descend by means of a para- chute.

'When a stamp was not forthcoming he usually got two coppers or a nickle to buy one with, and was able to live in corn fort on his revenue. West's Pain King—the house remedy,Always useful.

A man in Birmingham, Mich., invested $30, all the money be had in the world, in a double-barrelled shotgun, on Christmas day, and entered into a, contract with a local restaurant -keeper to furnish him with an unlimited supply of fat sparrows at one cent a piece. The agreement has been the cause of great satisfaction to each of the parties to it. The hunter has made more money per week than he ever did at bis trade, and the reputation of the restaurant man's quail on toast, at 20 cents a brace, keeps his dining -room crowded. A Panama despatch says: .A most extraordinary event occurred recently to a farmer living in Cundinamerea. While out in his field he was Momentarily sur- rounded by an electric flame, which dis- appeared as quickly as it came. The victim's left eye was dsmeged and the s'ye brow was burned completely off The hair surrounding his ears, a portion of his beard and all the hair on his breast were burned off.

He related the dream to his 'partner, who scuffed at it. On the fol. ingoing night the.dream was repeated with great vividness, the parents of Roberts coming to his be(iside and imploring him not to enter the shaft, Von was again incredulous when thb second dream wrs related to him, and went Co work as usual but during the afternoon Roberts came up to him and persuaded hien to leave the shaft. A moment later the ground caved ihwith a great crash. .tolittao'tt's All healing White Ointment has bent, used with the most astontah,ngt.v good re - snits 10 salt rhennt, sores, mewl ngs, hums scalds (mapped bands, rte., OA Many who have used 1t nap prove.

There is certainly agiant boom in progress here and in fact all through- the State, and money is circulating very rapidly. Pros- pects for a fruit crop are extra good. The whole crop, however,is reported less than half a crop. Flour is rising in price every day and consequently the baker's loaves are decreasing iri size. ,Informer years this season witnessed a hill in business here; but this year things seem revotu- tiocized and immigration is still confirm, ing• Next winter will witness a terrible crush if things-gq on as they are." • West's Pain King' should be kept in every house for sudden attacks of cramps, colic, paint- er's colic, cholera morbus, flux and dysentery.

Pollock the man- ager of the White Bronze Works at St. Thomas, has an ',ld mare that takes him to the office and then returns to the stable alone. At the proper time she is hitched to the buggy and then goes to the works for him alone. She waits -a few minutes and if Mr. Pollock don't make his ap- pearance she returns without him. She don't believe in going barefoot. A few days ago she lost a shoe, and knowing where she had been shod went down to the shop, walked in and held up her foot. fire smith knowing the mare and under- standing what was wanted, set shoe for her and she went home quite satisfied. A PICNIC TIME —Now let us to the woodland hie, where trees their verdure wrap, for spring no longer, lingers in old burly winter's lap. In picnic garb we ramble forth, and sit beneath the trees, and have our bides all chopped and hacked, with stings of bumble bees. We'll gaily don our linen coats, and.thin seer- sucker pants, and sit beside the gurgling stream, while o'er us crawl the ants. We'll swallow picnic lemonade, to moist- en down our grub. which people make by soaking one, cheap lemon in a tub. The guileless lemon we shall eat, devour the c'ammy pie, and sit on bowls of custard, while a tear bedims our eye. We'll tip the mustard in the jars, the pepper in the tea, and try with all our might to show, that we are filled with glee. Then let us to the picnic hie, our basket in our hand, and homeward come filled up with woe, and leaves and dust and sand. Delicate females, old people and children are always pleased with West's Liver Pills, Mild, effective, and they always cure. 30 sugar -canted trills 25e All druggists. a.
