This is but one of the thousand testimo- nies which can be substantiated as to this great heart cure. Mrs Margaret Smith, of Brussels, Ont., writes: "For over two years I suffered intensely from acute toren of heart trouble. At times thedistress was so great I would have weloomed death with joy. I took four bottles of Dr. Agnew'e Cure for the Heart, and was oompletely cured. Relief came within half an hour after the first dose," Sold by Watts & Co., Clinton. HAD A GOOD BREAKFAST. The Old Soldier Teld the Ad9bls Stranger How He Obtained It. One day late in the eighteenth oentury the great Emperor Joseph of Austria VIM out driving, when a heavy showei name up; as the first big drops fell an old soldier of the invalides oame bobbling to the door of the carriage and asked to be taken in, booause, he said, his uniform was new, and he did not want to get it wet. '1.'bs emperor, who was taking the air as a pri- vate gentleman with no marks of tie rank about him, told the old man to get in, and ab onoe fell to talking with him very af- fably. Soon the soldier mentioned that he had had capital breakfast that morning. "What was it?" asked the emperor. "Guess." The emperor ran over all the dishes he could think of that wore bust liked among the common soldiers, but to everything he mentioned the invalid answered, ohno- kling, "Better than that." At last, the emperor giving up the puzzle, he slapped his knee and declared he had taken a pheasant out of the imperial preserves. The emperor laughed sympathetically, and the subjeot was changed. When they bad driven some time, the poor poacher, after recounting some of his experiences in bat- tle, remarked: "You look like a military man, yourself; are you in the army?" The emperor said be was, and was then asked what position be held. "Guess," said the emperor. The soldier guessed and guessed again; he finally guessed o'verything from ser- geant up to marshal, and to every guess he got the answer, "Better than that." Naturally, after awhile the truth began to dawn on him, and the poor man was frightened nearly out of his wits, but the emperor only laughed, told him to learn discretion in making confidenoes to stran- gers, asked him where he wanted to go, set him down at the right door and never took any further notice of his loss of a pheasant than to make it a favorite story at court.—Exchange.

There is no subject under the sun con- senting which so many mistakes are made. According to an ancient joko, ono lady asked another, "Why fe your father using 000kade?" "Ob, pa's just joined the u -my and navy stores!" And many peo- ple seem to think that a cockade means nothing ab all beyond the fact of a certain amount of social eminence. There is no real law upon the matter, which is simply governed by long established custom and usage. Acoording thereto, there aro throe kinds of English cockadda in use at the momeab —the royal, the military and the naval. There is no such thing as a "civil service 000kade." Tho royal 000kade can be easily recognized. Ib is quite otroular. It is in shape much like a double dahlia, and is worn so that half of 1t is seen above the top of the bait it is oleo larger than other cockades and projects outward very much more. The military 000kade is the one most usually aeon. It oensists of a small circular projeotlon, from the top of which issues a fan shaped ornament. It is worn so that the fan shaped ornament projeots above the top of the hat. The third shape —the naval 000kade—bas no fan, and is oilal in shape. It is worn at the side, so that no part of it projects above the top of the hat. The military 000kade is worn by the servants of those bolding military com- missions—viz. otheers in the army, mili- tia and volunteers and by lord lieuten- ants, commissioners of lieutenancy, deputy lieutenants and high sheriffs. The naval cockade le worn by the servants of naval officers. Civilians and ladles,havo no right ab all to any cockade unless coming within the above descriptions. Tho black cookado of Hanover came into use in this oountry with the Hanovorians, though in the days when bats were worn that required fasten- ing up at the side, the cookado was worn by the offioers themselves. The Jacobites, in their intense objection to everything Hanoverian, started the white cockade, which was worn by the officers who took part in the Jacobite risings, but thu "white 000kade" never had an analogous usage to the blaok cockade of Hanover. It is possi- ble it may in the future, for we hoar of one gentleman belonging to the Order of the White Rose who is industriously sav- ing up to start an equipage in order that in littral truth he may "mount the white 000kade."—Genealogical Magazine. TEN YEARS'CATARRH IN THE HEAD A Brampton Citizen Cured Completely with Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder— Prominent Clergymen of the Epis- oopal, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist and Roman Catholic Churches Recommend the Remedy. Facts and experiences are with Dr. Ag• new's Catarrhal Powder. H.W.Franois,an employee of the Great Northwestern Tele- graph Co., Brampton, Ont., says,— "1 was troubled with catarrh in the head for ten years. I tried every known remedy but little or no benefit was obtained from any. I saw Dr. "°Agnew's Catarrhal Powder ad- vertised and got a sample bottle,which gave immediate relief, and after using four bot- tles I was completely cured." This remedy has been used by Bishop Sweatman, of the Episcopal -oh arch, and prominent ministers of every denomination, who over their own signatures, bear testimony of its effective. nees. Soli by Watts & Co. Proud of our record A PRACTICAL JOKE. Quo Yon Would Better Try oa a Small., Man Phan lourself, Most people think -themselves very clever if they are able todovlse some catch or practical joke, but the ilgdiyldual who in- vented the latest trigk wMolt is catching on la Aartainly entitled to regard himself as a genius In his way. . This is how you proceed: Ask a friend the time, and when be takes out his watch say: "That seems a pies little ticker. Let's have a look ab 1t.": ' With an air of pride he takes it off bis chain and bands it to you, dust as you are about to examine ti:,,11 slips out of your hand and smashes on the floor. The glass breaks, the case comes off and the works part company. ' You are awfully upset &bot t it, yon are, really, and eo staggered that you can do nothing but put your bands t)elplesely into your jaoket pockets and saminer your apologies. But you soon reoyver yourself, and, stooping down, you sop up the,. pieces with your two bands and offer them to your friend. You might just smile gently. It rather improves the flavor of the joke. You are able at this point to sample your friend's language and to get him to give an exhibition of all his angelic qualities. Very likely he will take the opportunity of telling you what his true opinion of you baa been all along. When you have heard enough, you take his watch out of your jacket pocket and give it to him safe and sound. For, of course, yon haven't really drop- ped hie watch, bub a broken nue which you happen to be in possession of, and which servos on more than one occasion. It requires a little sleight of hand, but your victim, who suspects nothing, is easily deceived. If this joke doesn't become popular, it will be because very few people have silver watches to play with. But there is a dan- ger, as was illustrated in the case of a jok- ist who tried this on a very hot tempered man and got such a "pasting" before he could explain the true state of affairs that be had to keep in bed for a week, where he passed his time in trying to think out who had the best of the joko.—Pearson'sWeek- ly. April 8, 1898 MUSHROOMS. How a Man Saved Hie Lilo by Not Eating Them. .A dish of mushrooms was served to a party of politicians in one of the leading restaurants the other night, and the re- fusal of one of the diners to partake of them because bo was not expert enough to determine for himself whether they were of the edible or the poisonous variety led to a somewhat anirnatod disouesion in which the objector fully hold his own. "In most restaurants," said he, "the test applied by the cook is that of inserting a silver spoon into the vessel of boiling fungi. If the spoon turns black, the fungi are regarded as dangerous, but 1f 1t remains uncolored they aro supposed to be edible. Dr. Henry G. Piffard, the mycologist, declares that this test is a fallacy. He also contends that certain markings are not sure signs In de- termining the edibility of mushrooms. The only sure method when there is any doubt is by comparison with elaborate and carefully prepared colored pirates. "Now I have neither the time nor the inclination to go to all that trouble, nor do I fool like taking any risk for the sake of a dish of which I ain very fond, but which is not at all necessary to my exist- ence. It may interest you to know that Dr. Piffard says that the mushroom is more like animal than vegetable matter and is consequently liable to rapid putre- faction. A groat many cases of poisoning even when the mushrooms are genuine have been traced to this cause." The rest of the politicians ate the mushrooms and were all right. Tho other man abstained, and be was all right too.—Philadelphia Press. Talk about rapid increase in stook. Here is where you get it, says the St. Mary's Are gus. Win.

In Love's Flower Garden there is the full-blown rose of married happiness and the holy perfume of joyous motherhood for every woman who takes proper care of her health in a womanly way. For the weak, sickly, nervous, despondent woman, who suffers untold miseries In silence from weakness and disease of the delicate organs concerned in wifehood and motherhood, there are only thorns, and to her the per- fume of motherhood is the aroma of death. No woman is fitted for the responsibili- ties of wifehood and the duties of mother- hood who is a sufferer in this way. Every woman may be strong and healthy in a womanly way, if she will. It lies with her- self. She needs, in the first place, a little knowledge of the reproductive physiology of women. This she can obtain by secur- ing and reading a copy of Dr. Pierce's C sn,- mon Sense Medical Adviser. It contains rood pages and over 30o illustrations. It tells all about all the ordinary ills of life, and how to treat them. Several chapters and illustrations are devoted to the phys- ical make-up of women. It tells how to treat all the diseases peculiar to women. It gives the names, addresses,hotographs and experiences of hundreds of women who have been snatched from the verge of the grave to live happy, healthy lives by ISr. Pierce's medicines, This book she can obtain free. It used to cost $I.So, and over seven hundred thousand copies were pur- chased by women at that price. Over a million women now own copies. For a pa- " per -covered copy send 35. one -cent stamps, to cover cost of customs and mailing only, to World's Dispensary Medical Associa- tion, Buffalo, N. Y. For cloth -binding, send so one -cent stamps. Spring Purification. The clogged -up machinery of the system requires cleaning out after the wear and tear of the winter's work. Nothing will do this so thoroughly and perfectly as the old reliable Burdock Blood Bitters. It cures Constipation, Sick Head- aches, Feeling of Tiredness, and all the evidences of Sluggish Liver and Impure Blood, which are so preva- lent in the spring. It makes rich, red blood and gives buoyancy and strength to the entire system. AMAshi sta roud of our rospect The Greatest Improvements of any year. !P_...-. . ,.., The Greatest Reductions ever made.
