A.ITEA.D OJ' TOO.
,..good story comes from a Bir-
ilingtou photogtrapher. A lady
stet for pictures. The next day
she returned for a proof, wbioh
was given her in an envelope, on
wtlioh was printed, "Return after
five days to—, photographer
Donn." The lady kept the proof,
much longer than persons usually
do, particularly as she was in
a big hurry for the pictures. On
the fourth day sho came to the
studio, bringing the proof, and
apologized to the artist for com-
ing back "one day ahead of time."
but she said she had business in
town and could not oome again.
It took the artist a day to under-
stand what she meant. -New
Hrven Palladium.
"NEWS."
The word "news" is derived
from the initial letters of the four
points of the compass -North,
East, West and South. To all
points of the compass let the good
news go that for deranged liver,
nervous headache, costiveness., im-
pure blood, naseau, 'and many
other disturbances of the system
that make men mourn, there is a
remedy. Thousands testify that
Dr Pierce's Pleasant Purgative
Pellets cure those troubles. Small
but potent; one a dose.
A PART OF THE BOOM.
It seems that the old Wild West
"gag" about towns springing up
in a night, flourishing for a week,
then "moving on to the end of the
traek," is not without repetition
in our North -Wast. Tho case in
point is the town of Pilot Mound
in Manitoba, south of Portage la
Prairie. In 1882, it was laid out
on the assumption that the Cana-
dian Pacific Railway would pass
through it. An enterprising
boornster, named James Fraser
had got possession of the land,
id it out in town lots and boom -
them for all they were worth,
and a good deal more, at Toronto
and elsewhere. There was also
an auction sale of these lots at To-
ronto and a - good many people
bought with the expectation of a
big rise in values. The town was
actually started. Quito a number
of settlers went there, erected
houses and began improving the
site. But when the railway came
it gave Pilot Mound the go-by to
the extent of four miles. There-
upon tho inhabitants pulled up
stakes and moved to closer prox-
imity of the track on the princi-
pal made famous by Mahomet.
The railway would not come to
thorn so they wont to the railway.
Pilot Mound consequently revert-
ed to farming land, and non-resi-
denf owners of lots on the site of
the town that moved away have
been informed that the town plan
is to be cancelled and the land dis-
posed of to farming settlers. It
is said that Fraser made a fortune
out of the, speculation "folded his
tent like the Arabs and silently
stole away."
WHAT IS IT ?
To those who had never used Wilson's
Wild Cherry, we beg to explain that it
isa preparation for the cure,of Coughs,
Colds, Croup, Bronchitis Whooping
Lose of Voice, and kindred diseases,
which has been in successful use for
twenty years.- It is purely vegetable
medicine in the form of syrup, pleasant
to the taste, and gives immediate re-
lief to sufferers from diseases- of the
Throat. Chest and Lungs. Wilson's
Wild Cherry never disappoint. Try it
for. yourself and family. Sold by all
druggists.
SLIPPED AWAY.
The elopement of Dr. Willis Mc -
Cray, son of the millionaire oil
king, James E. McCray, of Frank-
lin, Pa., with the 19 year-old dau-
ghter of a cab driver, is the talk
of the town. Through the death
of his father some months since
young McCray came into posses-
sion of a portion of valuable oil
property which made his father
rich, and having graduated from
the Toronto School of Veterinary
Surgery ho located in Franklin to
practice his profession. Ho was
living with a wife, a daughter of
Cornelius Tyson, proprietor of the
hotel at Foxburg. For some timo
McCray had boon disposing- of his
extensive properties, and Tuesday
..--"he disappeared, going toward
Meadville. About the same time
Miss Brown, a daughter of Fred
Brown, disappeared. A thorough
search resulted in the discovery
that the pair left the city togeth-
er. Information was ]aid against
McCray for abduction and an of-
ficer started in pursuit, but has
not as yet apprehended the coup -
lo. Mrs McCray is penniless.

Children Cry for
COMMON SENSE IN THE
11 OUSE.
An unlimited supply is needed
by all mother". Nobody has use
for so much, milk.. s it be the doc-
tor.
An English mother in the Home
Journal says :-'I know a lady
who undresses five little childreu
and pute them to bed every night
herself. She has half a dozen ser-
vants, but that is her privilege.
Often the feet are cold. She holds
them close to the fire, rubbing
them briskly with her hand until
the circulation is started.'
'My arms often ache after the
last good : ight kiss,she said with
a smile; 'but then my reward
comes in knowing the darlings
are comfortable and happy. No
croup, diphtheria nor fatal sore
throat 1'
Simple remedies are in the
reach of every one. Fever and
restleseness,caused by indigestion,
are so easily relieved by a cup of
warm water to drink, the undi-
gested food being thrown off at
once. A few doses of aconite, the
fever is gone and the little one
asleep. Severe attacks of bron-
chitis and pneumonia, so much to
be feared, may often be prevented
by a timely foot bath, hot ;drinks,
hot applications. Precious mo-
ments are often lost while waiting
for the doctor, who, when he ar-
rives, finds the patient beyond
help, just from ignorance and
want of proper attention.
At this season of the year mo-
thers can not be too careful of the
little ones, guarding them from
babies' winter enemy, bronchitis.
Don't over -do the matter by shut-
ting them in hot, close rooms, in-
ducing perspiration, nor rushing
them through cold halls' or send-
ing them out when the air is sting-
ing with frost.
Don't delay active measures to
break a cold. Difficult inspiration
fever, croupy cough, even in
violent cases, can be broken by
immediate applications of hot
poultices and the old-fashioned
reimedies efsyrups, ipecac, squills
and hot drinks; and before the
wise doctor comes the wise nur-
se or mother may have saved the
little life.

ishness, destroys worms, and prevents

NEWS NOTES.
r
Hon. J. C. Aikens hasbeen appointed
treasurer of the Methodist Missionary
Society in room of the late Hon. John
Macdonald.
Miles of heavy freight trains aro
standing at Pittsburg, owing to the
switchmen's strike. The strikers refus-
ed to yield and have been discharged.
In one section of the Sierra Nevada
Mountains the snow has piled into the
valleys until it is estimated to be 196
feet deep, and it is still falling at the
rate of three or four feet per week.
A New York dentist recently per-
formed a very unusual operation in
dental surgery. He removed an aching
front tooth from the mouth of a young
man, cut away the abscess at the root,
filled the tooth, and replaced it in the
young man's month, whore as the poet
says, "it remains a thing of beauty and
a jaw forever."
Miss Bessie H. Bedloe, of Bur-
lington, Vt., had a disease of the
scalp, which caused her hair to
become very harsh and dry, and
to fall so freely she scarcely dared
comb it. Ayer's Hair Vigor gave
her a healthy scalp, and made the
hair beautifully thick and glossy.
On McFarlane's Lake, about ten
miles north of Lncknow, in Kinloss
township, two young men, named Mur-
ray and Hetherington, were removing
snow preparatory to cutting ice, when
they fell into a hole left by some prior
ice -cutters. The latter was drowned.
The body was recovered.
Eight miles below Nashville,
Ark., a negro flamed Root, while
plowing, a field found a jug con-
taining $16,000 in gold. It was
too heavy to carry and putting
$400 in his pockethestarted for
a vehicle. IID was so elated that
ho could not keep his good fortune
to himself and when ho returned
the jug and contents had disap-
peared.
One night recently, as Mr
Dykes, a well -to- do farmer near
Wardsville, was stabling some
steers that ho is keeping for the
spring market, ho discovered that
two of the best were missing.
Learning that Sydney Seabrook,
of Caradoc, had pased that same
evening with a drove of cattle on
the road near the field in which
the steers were enclosed, ho at
once suspected that by some
means his steers had become mix-
ed with Seabreod's. Acting upon
this supposition, he started in pur-
suit next morning, and at Joseph
Miller's in Ekfird, whore Seabrook
had stopped over night, he found
that his suspicions had not been
misplaced. Shcabronk refused to
give up the .steers, claiming hon-
erable possession by purchase from
one Philip Ashton, but, on the is-
sue of a warrant by C. J. Camp-
bell, J. P., and tho threat of' its
immediate execution, he gladly
yielded and readily paid all ex-
penses incurred by Mrr)ykos, that
tho charge of cattle stealing be
pressed no further.

THE CO3P OF SOME HISSES.
At the recent royal weddil
ceremony at Atbens,,says an En
Iish paper, the bride must ha
thought that the marriage co
ler dear in kisses. It was nese
say that she should kiss all h
relations as soon as the marriag
service was concluded. Thr
kisses each had to be paid to th
King and Queen of Greece, thr
to the Empress Frederick, thre
to the King and Queen of De
mark,. the Emperor and Empres
of Germany, and her sisters an
brothers. One kiss each had t
be paid to all the other prince
sand priucesses present. The wed
ding Dost the fair princess no fewe
than 150 kisses.
A kiss once cost a Duchess o
Somerset the hot displeasure o
her lord. The duke was exceed
ingly proud, and she who had th
audacity to kiss him was bis s
cond wife. One day, we read, th
proud duke was much disconcert
ed when his spouse threw ne
arms around his neck and affec
tionately kissed him. Looking a
the daring dame with Naught
coldness, he said: 'Madam, m
first wife was a Percy, and sh
would not have taken such
liberty !'
The kiss has a value in politics
John Scott, who afterward
became famous as Lord Eldon
relates that an first aspiring
to a seat in Parliament, 'he ha
to do a vast amount of speech mak
ing, ending up by kissing al
the pretty girls in the place
which was very pleasant, indeed
Theluchoss of Devonshire one
decreed that the cost of a kis
should be a vote. She was on
day trying to cajole a butcher foi
his vote, which he gallantly offer-
ed to give her ladyship, if she
would give him a kiss in exchange
for it. This the Duchess agreed
to, and the wily voter became
known to fame as Butcher Steele
who kissed the Duchess. It pro-
ved for honest Steele a capital
advertisement,
When men were not so anxious
to enter the army as they are
now, the Duchess of Gordon used
to frequent the hiring fairs in the
North for the purpose of enlist-
ing soldiers. On these occasions
she was wont to offer the Lads the
customary shilling, or if they pre-
ferred it she offered the alterna-
tive of a kiss. An old veteran
was heard to declare that while
the shilling was gone in a mo-
ment, the sweetness of her lady-
ship's kiss was fresh upon a soldi-
er's lips after long years.
Sir Walter Scott, in the Fair
Maid of Porth, relates that a pair
of gloves was a fair equivalent
for a kiss, only it had to bo stolen
by a woman from a man while he
slept. 'Cathcrine,in Scott's novel,
obtains a pair of gloves by this
device.
Kissing has cost the poet much
mental tribulation. Shakespeare
has described the kiss of Petru-
chio in much fbo same way as
Dickens has doseoibod the steady
snore of Walter Savage Landor.
Ho alleges that Petruchio kissed
Katherine 'with such a clamor-
ous smack that at the parting
all tho church echoed.'
Burns speaks of 'ae fond kiss
and then we sever:" Tonnysou,of
the spirits rushing together 'at
the touching of the lips.' Surely
tho poet who wrote the following
never counted the dreadful cost
of his request in skin tissue:
"Oh, let me on thy panting breast re-
cline,
And press my burning, hurried lips to
thine ;
A thousand thousand kisses let me first
- implore,
And after that a thousand thousand
more !
A thousand thousand let me still re-
peat,
Till my joys grow as numberless as
great." '
He evidently won't bo happy
till ho gots them, and we hope
that he bought, in a cheaper mar-
ket than that in which Stephen
Conway placed his modest order.
A kiss has cost many a man a
night's sleep, and many a. kiss,
udiciously applied in time and
eason, has cost a tidy's milliner's
Even the girl graduates of Gir-
on aro not heedless of the value
f kisses. A visitor to the college
atoly overheard two young ladies
iscuss the impoverished state of
heir finances.
'I want £20 from papa nex
oliday,' said ono fair maid. '1)f,
ou know how I get it T'
'No.'
'I kiss the old darling till ho is
azed, and thon tho good s ul
romises anything."
This is a financial operat ion
hick might be tried on m. ny
fathers when the funds are low.
t is a valuable 'tip,' and it s urp-
ising that the value of kisses has
of ere now boon recognize •1 by
hose who search for bazaar 1 ov-
Ities.
In Paris the theatrical cl quo
as discovered the cost of lci�sos.
n London, we hear, a bevy' of
eauties have for a considerable
me been trying todotormine the
st of kisses. Wo know the ver -
et they will arrive at, and it is
its -taut kisses are simply in-
aluable.
