The members of a theatrical ,coni- pany, travelling through Lake Gleoege on their way to Canada, were COM - wearing upon e grandeur of the sceneryp, when the train came to a standstill. Oneof the men, becpining• impatient, ventured cut, and upon his return was asked, the cause of the de. lay, "Well," be, replied, "a piece of the scenery has fallen across the track." During a strike on the North British railway, much" difficulty was experi- enced in finding engineers to keep the necessary trains running. Ope of the substitutes, a young fellow, ran some distance pant a station, and then, put- ting back, ran es much too far the other way, He,was preparing to make a third attempt,when the station agent shouted, to the great amusement of the passengers: "Never. mind, Tarn - Leas; stay where you are ! We'll shift the eftation." Minard's Liniment the best Hair Restorer A good story, which is of course un- true, is told on Judge Durham. The incident is said to have happened while he was Controller of Currency. One Sunday, so the story goes, the Judge, who .s a devout man, went to church in Washington. The audience was an inspiring_ one, and the sermon a good one. When the minister had quit speaking, he said: "Now let us return thanks to the Great Controller of the Universe." No sooner had the words been uttered than the Judge, who is a gentlemen of the old school, arose and publicly thanked the preacher for the distinguished honor he had paid him. Thousands of new patrons have taken Hood'sSareaparilla this season andrealized its benefit in bleed purified and health re- etored, Down in South Minneapolis there is a barber named Hans. The other day he found himself a victim of financial depression, and seemed on the eve of a crisis. He .was able, however, to bor- row two dollars from his friend the shoemaker, and with this financial as- sistance he tided over his difficulties. His gratitude to his friend the shoe- maker knew no bounds, and be was scarce able find words in which to ex- press his obligation. "Johann," he cried, "Oh, Mein Johann. if ever your fader and rnoder die, if ever you are hungry or haven't anything to wear, yust come to me, Johann, and I vill shave you for not'ing." The tale is told in the East: A lady one day found a man following her, and she asked him why he did so. His reply was: "You are very beautiful, and I am in love with you." "Ohl you think me beautiful, do you? There is my sister over there, you will find her much more beautiful than I am. Go and make love to her." On hearing this the man went to see the sister, but found she was very ugly; so he came back in an angry mood, and asked the lady why she had told him a falsehood. She then answered: "Why did you tell me a falsehood?" The man was surprised at this accusation. and asked when be had done so. Her answer was: "You said 'you loved me. If that had been true, you would not have gone to make love to another woman." I cored a horse of the mange by using MINARD'S LINIMENT. Dalhousie.

Thos. W' PAYNE. There is a good story told in legal circles about Hon. A. S. Hardy, Onta- rio Commissioner of Crown Lands. It is said that when he began the practice of the legal profession in Brantford many years ago, he was retained to defend a young man charged with forgery. When the case was called the prosecution announced that they were willing to withdraw. Mr Hardy, the prisoner's counsel, at once arose and indignantly protested, claiming that his client was a deeply injured person, who would be satisfied with nothing but an honorable acquittal, and was contemplating an action for damages. Thus spurred up, the prose- cution decided to go on with the case, and it resulted in Mr Hardy's client being sent to penitentiary for seven years. That W. R. Meredith has a quick wit has often been demonstrated. Thomas E. Champion, in the Canadian Magazine for June, gives a couple of instances. On one occasion of his first contest he was addressing a meeting the night previous to' -polling day, when a mnn in the crowd got off the usual query, "Does your mother know you're out?" This as usual made a laugh, but the laugh was turned when Mr Meredith replied, "Yes, my friend, and by this time to -morrow night she will know I am in." On another oc- casion a tough interrupted him with the gag, "Get your hair cut." Mr Meredith fixed his eyes on the inter- rupter, whom he recognized as a man whom he, as a lawyer, had been in- strumental in "sending down" to do a term, and quiety remarked, "It seems to me I once had something to do with getting your hair cut." "I was amused at an act of polite- ness I once witnessed on the part of a monkey that bad a very peculiar ef- fect on my dog," said Stephen L. Warner, of St. Louis, "One day an Italian organ -grinder accompanied by a trained monkey wandered into our town, and the man stopped before my house to play. The monkey was an intelligent little fellow, and was at- tired in a jacket and cap. While his master was grinding out the music the monkey hopped down from the organ where he had been sitting, and, jump- ing the fence, came up into my yard. He was at once spied by a fox -terrier of mine, and the dog made a rush at him. The monkey awaited the onset with such undisturbed tranquility at the dog halted within a few feet him to reconnoitre. Both animals k a long, steady stare at each er, when suddenly the monkey sed his paw and gracefully saluted s enemy by raising his hat. The ef- ct was magical. The dog's head and til dropped, and he sneaked off into e house and would not leave it un - ll satisfied that his polite but myster- bus guest had departed," TESTING 111° NESTY.

APD STRENGTH. From the Stellarton, N. S., Journal. Faith doesn't come to all by hearing. With • many seeing is believing. Many when they read of what bas been effected in other parts of the_aonntry may shake 'their heads with an inoredilons air. To satisfy such people it is necessary to bring the matter home; to show it to them at their own doors. The people of this coun- try may not have heard, or only known little about the places where good has been effected by the use of the medicine, the name of which is on everybody's lips, but' they beard of Westville, the second most populous town in the county, and people far and near have heard of the mining town where in '73, twenty years ago, over fifty lives were lost by an explosion in a mine, and the people of these provinces know it to -day as ,the place from which they draw their °apply of fuel. Hearing of a cure that had been effected in West- ville through the agency of Dr.' Williams' Pink Pills, a Journal reporter thought it might be of general interest to ascertain the particulars. So to Westville he went, and called at the home of Mr Thos. I&o- Millan, who is known to every man, wo- man and ohild in the place, having taken up his home there twenty years ago. Mr McMillan was not to be seen at times, un- less our reporter sought him at a distance of between three and four thousand feet underground, in one of the deepest coal mines on the continent, where he was at work. Mrs McMillan was at home, how- ever, and when informed the objeot of the reporter's visit, said she could give all the information neoeseary—and she gave it freely. "Yes," said she, "Tom wee a very sink man, so sink that he was unable to work for eight months—a long time wasn't it?" she said by way of question. "He had been sick more or less for about a year. He was like a great many miners who had to work in poor afr,troubled with the asthma and indigestion. Hecouldn't eat well and of oouree did not thrive. He lost flesh gradually ,end at length became 'so weak that he wee nnablg,_t0.,wo4., After he hal been sick for some months ',:e read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. We talked the mac, overand it was agreed to give the Pink Pills a trial—and it was a.blessing we did. After he began to take the pills he felt himself gradually gaining strength. By degrees his appetite returned and with it his strength, and by the time he bad taken six boxes he considered himself a well man. At this time he returned to his work in the mine, but he continued taking the Pills for some time, to make sure that the trouble was driven out of his system. He can now work steadily and is as strong and healthy as he ever was. We are both so pleased with the great good this remedy did him that we never fail to recommend it toand_sick acquaintances. This state - ment is simple tants, and is voluntarily given because my husband has been bene- fitted by reading the statement of another, and so some one"else may be benefitted by, knowing what they have done for him. Dr Williams' Pink Pills are a specific for all diseases arising from an impover- ished oondition_of the_blooi r -a. shattered condition of the nervous forces, such as -St. Vitus dance, locomotor ataxia, rheuma- tism, paralysis, sciatica, the after effects of La Grippe, lose of appetite, headache, diz- ziness, chronic erysipelas, scrofula, eta They are also a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, correcting irregularities, suppressions and all forms of female weakness, building anew the blood and restoring the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In the ease of men they effect a radical care in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of any nature. These pills are not a purgative medicine. They contain only life-giving properties and nothing that could injure the delicate system. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold only in boxes bearing the firmtrade mark and wrap- per printed in red ink. Bear in mind that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are never sold in any other style of package, and any dealer who offers substitutes is trying to defraud you. Ask for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and refuse all imitations and substitutes. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Brockville, Ont., or Schenectady, N. Y., at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for 32.50.

His skull was also fractured. A LAUGHABLE MISTAKE. Two ladies entered a book -store recently and the younger asked the clerk for a book called "Favorite Prescription." The puz- zled attendant was unable to comply with her request and she left the store disap- pointed. Inquiry elicited the fact that she had overheard a conversation between two literary ladies in which "Favorite Prescrip- tion" wag mentioned with extravagant praise, and had jumped to the conclusion that it was a book. She now knows that Dr, Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a sovereign mire for the ills and "weakness- es" peouliar to women, for she has been oured by its use. It is the only medicine of its clam, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee that it will care in all oases of dieeaae for which it is recommended. or money paid for it will be promptly refunded.
