At the conclusion of mance the person having won the ie+it number of games gets a prize, a uetitly there aro a number of other of those finishing near the top. For each game won the player p little star of colored paper on his iaard. These serve as counters and lin adequate basis for accusations of ling.

Mre John Fisher, Woodstock, N. B., writes: "I had been suffering for:over three years from muscular rheumatism, and on one occasion I had a very acute at- taok of sciatica. For several weeks I was unable to walk or attend to my household duties. I tried several remediee, and phy- eioiane failed to give me relief. I saw South American Rheumatio Cure adver- tised, and bought a bottle. It did me a wonderful lot of good. Four bottles effeot- ed a perfo tt and permanent oure." Sold by Watts to Co. Judge Harlan's Treat. Judge Harlan is the most dignified man on the supreme bonob when ho is on the benoh. His gigantic' figure looms up above the others like' a giant among pygmies. He sits next to Chief Justice Fuller, and the contrast is pronounced. When ho is not in court, Justice Harlan plays golf, walks, romps with his grandchildren and his dogs and enjoys life thoroughly. One day be delayed a street oar several minutes while he and has little grand- daughter drove back the dogs that were bent on following them to the depot. On the car the nurse rebuked the little girl for chewing gum. "Why, grandpa gave it to mo. He chews gum, and I can do what grandpa Boos." "Of course you can," said the judge. "Here is enough to last you all the way to Chicago." And be took out a big package of allowing gum and tucked it away in the little girl's satchel. The oth• er passengers smiled, and the nurse was si- lent. The judge and his granddaughter continued to chow gum in absolute indif- ference to all the rust of the street car world.—Washington Post.

"I can't understand," said the trained curse, "how the lady's nurse oame to leave for when one attempt at suicide had just been discovered. If there is one thing whioh more than another is hammered in- to the nurse's head when she is taking her hospital course, it is not to leave the pa- tient at such a time. At the lectures the doctors often ask, insinuatingly: 'Now, Mise So-and-so, what would be your first step in case your patient developed a hemorrhage? You'd go for the doctor, wouldn't you?' "Nine times out of ten the nurse will say 'Yes.' Tjren, with a shade of sarcasm, the lecturer would say something like this: 'Ah 1 Very true, Miss So-and-so, your first step then would he sure to be n niisstop. You, however, are undergoing training here so as to learn what to do yourself to try to check the hemorrhage. In the meantime, if you want to open up your lungs and yell for the doctor it certainly would be very commendable in you, Yell fire if you think that would bring the oth- er people in the house quicker.' "In the hospital where I was brought up a delirium tremens patient once eluded the nurses and jumped out of a third story window, breaking his back. The dreadful papers got hold of it and made au awful mess of it. At another time an insane patient, who really ought riot to have been there, got away. She was fairly quiet when tho ambulance brought her in, but all the nurses in the ward were warned tame and again not to leave her. One of the nurses was Little Miss West, as we called her. We used to say her eyes were the biggest part of her. She was measuring out medicine, with her back turned to the ward. Just at that nioluont she was the only nurse in sight. She heard a rustle ho - hind hop, ani thinking immediately of her dangerous patient turned in time to see the crazy woman go scooting down the ward and out in the hall. "Dropping her medicine, bliss West flew after her. The hall hail nutily windings and led into tilt curt niers. The patient, with all the cunning of inFanity, was mak- ing t.; raight for the outer door. Miss West, though little, was a fleet runner. Tho pa- tient was ten times her size, and she knew that elle could not hold her if she should catch her. So she deliberately ran into herwi' thal all her might, crowding her into a corner. "The force with which they came to- gether throw the crazy woman off her feet, and Miss West made the most of her advantage by sitting down on the patient. Then she called for help, and the house staff oame to her aid. It took four of them to carry the woman baok to the ward. "— New York Press. Tho Sun Dance of the Blaokfeet. Tho most important sacred festival of the Blackfeet Indians of the Alberta terri- tory, Canada, is the sun dance. It is usu- ally instituted by a woman who has come out of sono trial and is generally bold in July aid lasts seven days. Tho fuel of the sacred flro is supplied exclusively by young men who have perforated some valorous deed, such as stealing horses. At such a ceremony, described by a writer, "a young man who had been successful in horse stealing came up to offer himself as a sacri- fleo to the gods. An old medicine woman out off one of his fingers, held it np to the sun and dedicated it to him. Ono young man presented himself for admission to the hand of warriors. Ho stretched him- self on a blanket on the ground while four men held him and a fifth made incisions In his breast and back. Wooden skewers were then inserted in the breast ineleiona and connected by a rope to the sacred pole. The young man climbed this pole, and while his face was exceedingly pale and,, his i frame trembling with emotion, throw his arms about the polo and prayed for strength to pass through, the trying ordeal. Ills prayer ended, he planed a`small bonewhis- tle in his mouth and blow continuously upon ft a series of short, sharp sounds while be swayed backward and forward until the flush gave way and he fell, amid the applause of the people. As he lay upon the ground the operators examined his wounds and out away the ragged edges of flesh and the ceremony of the sun dance Was at an end."—Exchange. A Successful Evangelist. Rev. W. .A. Dunnett, a Man whose Good work is widely known. He Relates Events in His Career of General Interest — For Years He Suffered from Heart Trouble, and Frequently from Collapse—On One Occasion Five Doctors Were in Attendance—He Is Now Freed' From His Old Enemy, and Enjoys the Blessing of Good Health. REV. W. A. DUNNETT. From theSmith's Falls Record. 'Throughout Canada, from the western boundary of Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean there is no name more widely known in evangelistic work than that of Rey. W. A Dunnett. Mr Dunnett has been the Grand Vice-rounoillor of Ontario and Quebec in the Royal Templars'; and so popular IS he among the members of the order that in Monet cal there is a council named°Dunnett Council"in Sts honor. For more than ten years Mr Dunnett has been going from place to place pursuing his good work,some- times assisting resident ministers, some- times conducting a series a gospel temper- ance meetings independently, but always laboring for the good of hie fellows. While in Smith's Falls a few months ago in con- nection with his work he dropped into the Record office for a little visit with the editor. During the eouversation the Record ventured to remark that his duties entitled an enormous amount of hard work; To this Mr Dunnett assented, but added that in his present physical condition he was equal to any amount of hard work. But it was not alwajs so, he said, and then he gave the writer the following little personal histcry, with permission to make it public. He said that for the past thirteen years he had been greatly troubled with a pain in the region of his heart, from which he was unable to got any relief. At times it was a dull, heavy pain, at others sharp and se- vere. Oftentimes it rendered him unfit for an engagement, and at all times it made t difficult to move. His trouble was always ieible to the public and frequently when oonducting service he would give out and doctors had to be called in to attend to him. This occurred to him in the Yonge street church, Toronto;tho Baptist church, Wood• stock, N.B.; the Methodist ohurch,Carleton Place, Ont. On another occasion Arline preaching to an audience of 2,600 people in the Franklin street Congregational church at Manchester, N.H., fiva doctors had ar- , rived and were in attendance when he re- , gained consoionsnese- In all these cities .: and towns the newspapers freely mention- ed his affliction at the time. Mr Dunnett said he bad consulted many physicians, though he said, to•be entirely fair, he had never been any great length of time under treatment by any one doctor because of his itinerant mode of life. In the early part of the summer of 1895, whilesin 3rockville 1 assisting the pastor of Wall street Metho- dist church in evangelistic services, he was speaking of his trouble to a friend who urg- ed him to try Dr. William's Pink Pills,and next day presented him with a dozen boxes. "•I took the pills" said Mr Dunnett, "and I declare to you I am a well man to -day. I used to worry a great deal over the pain about my heart, but that ie all done now and I feel like a new man." All this the reverend gentleman told in n simple con- Versational way, and when it was suggested that he let it be known,he rather demurred, because, as he pat it, "I am almost afraid, to say I am cured, and yet there is no man enjoying bet.er health to -day than I do." At that time, at Mr Dunnett's request, hie statement was only published locally, but now writing ander date of Jan. 21st, from Fitchburg, Mass., where he has been conducting a very successful series of even. gelistic meetings, he Bays:— ?•I had held back from writing in regard to my health, not because I had forgotten, but because it seemed too good to be true that the old time pain had gone, I cannot say whether it will ever return, but I can certainly say that it has not troubled me for months, and I am in better health than I have been f Spring Purification. the clogged -up machinery of the lli1 requires cleaning out after the f►ttar laid tear of the winter's work. frOtfilrg will do this so thoroughly anti perfectly as the old reliable Burdock Blood Bitters.
