The Terrors of Rheumatism, Neuralgia and Headaches; Are Banished Forever. Health and Happiness Be- stowed on All who Make Use of Paine's Celery Compound. WELLS & RICHARDSON CO., GENTLEMEN :—I am very pleased to be able to tell you of the great good that I have derived from the use of your Paine's Celery Compound. Before using your val- uable compound I was so crippled with rheumatism that I had to crawl on hands and knees from one place to another. I also suffered faom neuralgia and dreadful headaches, and could not get more than one or two hours of sleep each night. I of- ten thought it would be better to die than live and endure my terrible agony, I was happily advised to use Paine's Cel- ery Compound, and after use of six bottles the rheumatism and neuraleial'are banish- ed, end I now eat, rest and,aleep well. My present improXtu1 state of health is due en• ,. _ tirsily--to-the Health -giving virtues of Paine's Celery Compound, which has done wonders for me. My husband is now using it for dyspepsia, and it is doing wonders for him. My neighbors to whom I have recommend. ed Paine's Celery Compound have been greatly blessed. Yours truly, MRS. ANNIE R COBB, Seamo, Man. A YOUNG WOMAN'S RUSE. Led to an Innocent Display of Her Fa- ther's Artillery. Colonel I. N. Walker is the authority for a story which, as he says, is a very proper Sino for Oa parlor and one which contains several suggestions of value to young la- dies who may occasionally find themselves in a position requiring the use of diplo- macy and tact. This story avers that in a certain place not very far away and at a time not dory long ago there was a young man who name from a distant city on a visit to one of his friends, another ypuug Alan who stood high in the esteem of the community. The visiting youth was seri -ausly afflicted with tho ambition of meet- ingsome pine young lady of culture •and renerilentwho night bo matrimonislly tnolln@d, epd when his accommodating friend MO min of q yerhandsome maid - of his nogUUrntan0Q ig ooIJ1 fired w!th for and N8 resolved o pursue Lr1s soil San. eny. This laudable purpose was strengthened perceptibly by an incidental veoital on the part of his friend of the old gentleman's worldly possessions, and the young man was on tenter hooks until he obtained an introduction. The introduc- tion obtained) ho lost no time, but called the n_ogni ovtning.h evens of tient fineinora le tats g abide wltti him to the present day. It seems the pair were alone In the ppar lor for something like half an hour Wheh the ardent youth threw discretion to the wind and essayed a feat of osculation that was indignantly resented. Whether he rooeived a blow of the`hand upon bis fea- tures is a mere matter of speculation, but it was quite evident that there was some damping of a dainty foot and a darting of fire from indignant eyes, for the young Min was given thoroughly to understand that if ho did it again the paternal parent would be informed. But the thrust fell on Leedless ears, for no sooner was it made than the bold suitor onoe more attempted Lis trick. Then war ensued instanter. Ont of the room swept the younglady, and the young man was left to ooitate, but only for o brief space. In the next room was the paternal par- ent, a milli who loved sporting above al- most everything else, and when his dough - ter entered ho was examining a double barreled shotgun in a fond and doting manner. Said bis daughter to him: "Pa, • there is a young man in the parlor who, like yourself, is much interested in hunt- ing. I wish you would meet him. You might take your new gun in with you, for I know he would greatly admire the pat- tern." Nothing could suit the old gentleman better than this; so he marched into the parlor, expecting to receive the enthusias- tic praises of a true sport. But in thisex- peotatlon he was doomed to sad disappoint - mint. The young man saw him corning and saw the gun also. Exit by tho door was impossible, and the window offered tho only hope for escape; snout 110 jumped with all his might and down the street wont flying as fust as his aroused fears for life could make him. The old gentleman gazed on this strange scone with bewilder- ment, but his daughter had obtained a point of vantage where she gloried reck- lessly in the success of her ingenious con- triving.—Indianapolis Journal.

NAVAL DISASTERS. SOME OF THE GREATEST IN HISTORY OCCURRED IN PORT. Notable Instances of Vessels That Met Their Fate When They Seemed Perfect- ly Secure From Disaster—Tho Capsizing of the Royal George. Some of the greatest naval disasters in history, strange to say, ocourred in por Probably the greatest accident on record, aid certainly the most famous, was the capsizing of the Royal George, a line of battle ship of the British navy. It was the 4lagshirp of Roar Admiral Richard Kemp- onfolt. On Aug. 29, 1782, as it lay oft Splthead at the mouth of tho Thames, it was heeled, in order that a pipe might be nepalred. Heeling was a simple process. One broadside of guns was run from one aide of the ship to the other, so that all the weight was on one side. This laid the ship over far enough to lay bare the end of the pipe. Heeling wasn't absolutely safe, but the repairs were so simple that 1t wasn't worth while to dook the ship. So they heeled the Royal George. The ship had not been put out of com- mission and practically all -her officers and crew wore aboard. Besides, the friends of many of the ship's company were on board, Inen, women and children, including a large .number of .Jews. A land breeze sprang up, the stays did not hold and the great ship Capsized, nearly 800 persons be- ing drowned. The Royal George carried 108 guns and was one of the best vessels in the royal navy. On June 2, 1859, the steamship Eastern Monarch lay off Spithead, after a voyage from India, with 500 officers and men on board, most of whom were invalids. That night she was burned, but providentially only ,eight persons lost their lives. On Deo. 22, 1875, just three days before Christmas, H. M. S. Goliath, used as a training ship, lay in the Thames with about 500 officers, men and boys, most of the boys being rescued from the slums of London, A lamp upset on the oilroom floor, but again fortune was on the side of man, and only 12 persons were burned to death. Sunday, March 24, 1678, was an un- pleasant day in parts of England. There was a snowstorm, which is always un- pleasant in England, and then there Dame thunder and purple lightning, and, to top off, a furious squall raged fora short time. Just before the squall H. M. S. sailing frigate Eurydice, used as a training ship, sailed up along the isle of Wight. She had about 800 men and boys on board and oume in with a good breeze, most of her sails drawing and her ports open. The boys were crowding the decks, happy to see England again after a long voyage from the Bermudas. Off Dunnose head, near Ventnor, that snow squall struok her, and she capsized. Ventnor is a watering plane, winter as well as summer, and right before the eyes of hundreds of persons un- able to help the old frigate went down.. Hardly any 0110 was saved. Captain Hare, Lieutenant Tabor, the executive officer, and nearly every other person on board was drowned almost within reach of land at the entrance of the harbor for which they had hoped, In 1855 Q iptain Cowper Coles of the Brits h nay/ iudeiited what he called a turret ship, a vesgol to carry few guns, but thongg of 1s@rge Njber, • o; awblo towers on tho.deok.

CAptnin was tf-re reau]a, rt wars a full rigged iron ship, ariirored, with aui- Iliary steam power. High bulwarks were intended to be let down when the vessel was cleared for action, uncovering the two to ate. TM ship was lausiched in 1869 and had trouble from the first. Finally she seemed to "find herself" and joined the channel fleet. On Sept. 7, 1870, commanded by Captain Hugh Burgoyne, she was sailing through the bay of Biscay. She carried a company of 488 persons, and Captain Coles and Mr. Childers, a son of the first lord of the admiralty,who were passengers, made the total number on board 490. At 12:15 a. m. a squall sprang up and struck the top heavy ship. The bulwarks were down and the ship heeled over and never righted. Of the 490 persons on board only 18 escap- ed, and when the court martial sat to try some one for negligence in losing the ves- sel the only person they could try was Jamesp Ig Ma tho gunner! Everyofficer J was lost. The Captain was not in harbor, but she might as well have been; she was alone, there was no danger of collision, ber am- munitidh didn't explode. Seemingly she was as safe as a ship well oould bo. She and the Eurydice and the Royal George were beaten down by n0 great storms, It was as though tho finger of Providence had pointed at those three ebips and at noth- ing else. Not quite three years after the Eurydice capsized there was a boat race on the Thames up in Canada. Tho day was Queen Viotoria's birthday, May 24, 1881. The day was clear, it was a holiday, and the rano was exciting; so the steamboats accompanying the racers wore crowded. The Victoria had on her decks every soul she could parry, but everybody behaved well and thorn was no trouble and no danger—until an exciting part of a mos caused the crowd to rush to ono side of the boat. Then she capsized. She had 700 per- sons on board, and more than 800 died. Tho suddenness of this disaster was ap- palling. A traveler driving in a carriage saw the crowded Victoria steaming after the,racing boats. The road ran behind a low hill, cutting off all view of the river for 100 yards or so. When the driver had passed the bluff and again saw the river, the Victoria had capsized. There aro countless other instances of suoh strange providential happenings; they all go to show that a man is as safe anywhere as ho is anywhere else and that When his time is up he must go.—New York Sun.

TRAITS OF THE CHINESE. Their Inter Indifference to Suffering and Their Business Honesty. The Chinaman is not wantonly cruel, but be la marvelously indifferent to the sufferings•of others. Tho 000k will cover a rat with .kerosene and set it alight, nob to enjoy its sufferings, but because he be- lieves its screams will snare its follows away. A magistrate will fan himself gently on the execution ground on which a yell- ing malefactor is being gradually cut to pieces, not because ho enjoys the speotaole, but because Itis all part of his day's work. A crowd of spectators will watch a child drown :because it is no one's special busi- ness to.save it and because to interfere in what does slot ooncorn you inay give rise to trouble. Froin what has been already said as to the keen interest taken by the Chinese in money matters it may be surmised that they should be par excellence a "nation of shopkeepers." And so they aro. To their credit he it said that they have thor- oughly realized that bargains aro binding. The tea merchant may endeavor in every way to get the bettor of his .European con- frere, but once the mystic words "puttee book"—I. e., ,enter it in writing—have boon uttered the latter may rely on the transaction being faithfully carried through. This comparatively high stand- ard of commercial morality naturally re- sults in an elaborate system of credit, greatly to the advantage of both contract- ing parties, and, though the "squeeze," or perquisite, ontors into every arrangement, it is not sufficient to stop the wheels of commerce, though undoubtedly it fre- quently ologs them. To go abak on your word in a business transaction or to fail to meet your liabili- ties causes aChinaman to"luso face," and this is to hilt unbearable: The sacrifices which he will make on thoapproaoh of his new year to enable hila to avoid being posted as insolvent are as extraordinary as they aro admirable. Nor would it be right to omit all reference to the fact that to their justice they frequently add gener- osity. I well reweluber a case in which an American who had failed. after years of labor was supported during the re- mainder of his life by his "compredore," as the native employed by European firms in their dealings with Chinese i§ termed. —Contemporary Review.

Lowell, Mass., U. S. FIRST OF THE WHEEL GRAZE. It negaa to Rage In America as Long Ago as ,the Year 4869. Mr. Frank H. Vizeteiiy+tells "The Story of the Wheel" in St. Nicholas. Mr. Vize- telly says: The spring of 1869 found the wheel craze universal. Carriage builders were led to add totheirfaoborfes plants for the manufacturing of velocipedes. Over 1,000 of these machines wore turned out every week, while orders were pouring in by the tens of thousands. To quote from a newspaper of about that time: "As an indication of the extent to which the manufacture of velooipedes was carried on, It may be mentioned that Mr. Calvin Witty, the purchaser of the Lallement pat- ent, employed the resources of -seven large carriage makers, and kept their establish- ments busy day and night. $e had 70 men ai; work in one establishment in New York, and he also kept men actively em- ployed in tWo factories in Conneotlout, ono in Wilmington, Del., and one in Newark, N. J." But, few people had expeoted that the mania for this new style of wheeled vehi- cles would be so great. Among the earliest who exhibited their skill on tho velocipede in publio were the Hanlon brothers. They used a somewhat clumsy typo of wheel from France. These, at best, were but heavy things, which were soon improved upon by American makers. Schools for teaching learners to ride were quickly opened, and that of Frank Pearsall, the well known New York pho- tographer, was perhaps the first of these. His school was on the corner of Broadway and Twenty-second street. Together with his brother be turned out upward of 800 well taught riders within two months. Three months later nearly 50 bioyolo sohools thrived in New York and Brook- lyn. These schools vied one with the other in high sounding names. Ono was the "Amphioyolotheatrus," another the "Gymnooyolidium," eto. The cost of tui- tion was $15 each, but this amount carried with it the right to use a velocipede and to practice in the hall for one month. WAS THE MAN TO BLAME? Nls Gallantry, Anyway, Could Not No Questioned. She entered a street oar on Fourteenth street all the seats of which were ocon- pied, but she was not compelled to hang on to a strap. A male person, seemingly a gentleman, arose and offered her a seat, into which she sank with apolite recogni- tion of the courtesy and all the grace of a well bred woman of 40. Tho gentleman —or the male biped who had assumed the guise of a gentleman—clung to a strap as gracefully as his sixty odd years would permit, and the car rolled on for two or three squares before any change in the sit- uation oocurrcd. Then a large woman, sittinf next to the seat vacated by the gentleman and filled by the lady to whom be had tendered it, left the oar, and, also, left a vacant space wide enough for two average men. There - blot apace about upon th0 lady of thlg story moved into a Toot ;,^ other ladles spread themselves abroad until the seat was 00vered With garments, and all of the dear, good souls were seronoly contented. But the man on the strap was not filled with beatitude. On the contrary, that man felt the unholy fire of indignation When his soul should have rejoiced in the happiness•o# his neighbors. In hie auger 1� a►et;;,ily let go the strap, and, boldly and brazenly stepping up to the seat which ho had surrendered, said: "May htrouble you to sit closer?" To out this narrative short, he recovel•.,el bis seat, but the look of indignation and insulted dignity that overspread tho lad}'s countenance will haunt that man to his dying day, and it ought to.—Washington Post. Domestic Felicity. Maintained in Families Where Diamond Dyes are used. The happiest, best regulated and most economical families in the Dominion are regular users of the world-famous Diamond Dyes. Domestic lelicity is ever maintained, because you know the Diamond Dyes are true and unfailing in work, and money is saved by their use. No other Dyes can boast of suoh strong words of praise from users. Mrs T. Lavin, Newark, Ont., says: "Have used many other makes of dyes, but find the Diamond Dyes ahead as they give. the best and fastest colors." Mrs Silas Daury, Mahone Bay, N. S., says: "Your Diamond Dyes give me entire satisfaction. I have used other makes, but have settled on tho good, old and reliable Diamond Dyes." Mrs Joseph Weir, Sutton Junction, P.Q., says: "Have used Diamond Dyes for the last ten years, and they give me great sat- isfaction. I can recommend them to all as the best." Mrs G. A. Tory, Red Deer, N.W.T.,says: "I have given your Diamond Dyes a fair trial and find them excellent; failure is im- possible if the direotions are followed." Mies Gussie Crawford. Kingston, N. B., says: "Have just dyed an old skirt a beaut- iful Seal Brown with your Diamond Dyes, and am much pleased with result. I make my black ink from your Slate Diamond , and it is the only kind of ink I have used for years, and I do a great deal of Writing." Mrs John Leslie, Port Colborne, Ont., says: "I have used Diamond Dyes in all the colors, and I can safely say they do all you claim for them." The Godly Scot. Edward Duncan, a Scotch van driver, arrested for running into a trunk, ex- pressed muoh the same sentiments to the magistrate at the Guildhall, London, re- specting Goodliman street, in the city. "You Dell It Goodlirnan street, do you? But St's enough to make a godly Scotch - man swear. I'm a cautious Sootohman myself, by birth and training, and if ib would do that to ine what must the conse- quences be to benighted people who have not that preevtlege?"—New York Tribune. Origin of the Word Velocipede. Frank H. Vizetolly tells "The Story of the Wheel" In St. Nicholas. After de- scribing the introduction of the celerifera and the dandy horse Mr. Vizetelly says: By this time the principle of balanoing the wheel was understood, and the teak of developing the crude vehiole of M. de .,lu- rawas begun, I.t was not long, however, 1lofore this machine was replaced by an- other, or was perhaps only renamed. Dur- ing the Fronoh revolution a new form was introduced under the name of velooifere, and its riders became known as veloci- pedes. In the year 1808 one of these ve- hicles, shown at the Luxembourg gardens in Paris, was much used. Eight years later another wheel of similar form came into France and gained popular favor at the gardens of the Tivoli. This was the draisine, named from its inventor. Too Bad to Lose. An English gentleman was staying with an Irish friend during the agrarian riots. As they drove home in tho dusk a bullet flew past them just as they passed the lodge gates. "Good God! What is that?" exclaimed the stranger. "Oh," answered the Irishman, "it's only the lodge keeper." • "Lodge keeper?" said his friend. "That gun was loaded with ball." "Of course," was the rojoinder. "Had we not bettor send for the police immediately," asked the visitor, "and have the ruffian arrested?" "Heaven forbid," was the reply, "Ho is the worst shot that I ever had."—Argo- Ilaut.
