Better take a box or two 01 Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pili“ and got cured before things beoome too serious. Here's what Mr. John James, of Caledonia, Ont., has to say about them: "I have had serious heart trouble for four years, Caused by exoessiv,e use of tobacco. At times my heart would beat very rapidly and then seemed to stop beating only to Commence again with unnatural rapidity. "This unhealthy action of my heart caused shortness of breath, weakness and debility. I tried many medicines and ,spent a great deal of money but could not get any help. 'Last November, however, I read of a Man, afflicted like myself, being cured by Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. I went to Roper's drug sto re and bought a box. When I had finished taking it I was so Much better I bow ;lit another box and this completed the cure. My heart has not bothered me s ince, and I strongly ' recommend all sufferers from heart and nerve trouble, cause r1 by excessive use of .tobacco, to give Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills a fair an d faithful trial."

Chief Baron O'Grady was once trying a case in an assize town where the .court -house abutted on the green. A fair was in progress, and just outside th'e court. a number of asses were teth- ered. As counsel was addressing the court one of hese began to bray. Inslatltly the chief baron stopped the. speaker. "Wait a minute, Mr Bushe," he said, "I can't hear two at once." The court roared, and the advocate grew red. But presently, when it came to summing up, the judge was in full swing when another ass struck in, whether by the counsel's contrivance or not, who shall say ?

He was but just in time. Before his sails were under the horizon a courier galloped into Plymouth with orders that under no condition was he to enter port or haven of the king of Spain or injure Spanish subjects. What else was he going out for? IIe had guessed how it would be. Comedy or earnest he could not tell. If earnest, some such or- der would be sent after him, and he had not an instant to lose. He sailed on the morning of April 12. Off Ushant he fell in with a northwest gale, and he flew on, spreading every stitch of canvas which his spars would boar. In five days he was at Cape St. Vin- cent. Op the .18th 'he had the white houses of Cadiz right in front of him and could see for himself the forests of masts from the ships and transports with which the harbor was choked. Here was a chance for a piece of service if there was courage for the venture. He signaled for his offi- cers to come on board the Buonaventura. There before their eyes was, if not the armada itself, the materials which were to fit the armada for the seas. Did they dare to go in with him and destroy them? There were batteries at the harbor mouth, but Drake's marines had faced Spanish batteries at St. Domingo and Cartagena and had not found them very formidable. Go in? Of course they would. Where Drake would lead the corsairs of Plymouth were never afraid to follow. The vice admiral pleaded danger to her majesty's ships. It was not the business of an English fleet to be particular about danger. Straight in they vrent with a fair wind and a flood tide, ran past the batteries and under a storm of shot, to which they did not trouble themselves to wait to reply. The poor vice admiral .fol - owed reluctantly in the Lien. A single hot hit the Lion, and he edged away out. of range, anchored and drifted to . sea again It?Abe ebb. But Drake and all he rest dashed on, sank the guardship—a arge galleon—and sent flying a fleet of galleys which ventured too near them nd were never seen again. Further resistance there was none—abso- utely none. The orews of the ships soaped in their boats to land. The gov- rnor of Cadiz, the same Duke of Medina idonia who tho next year was to gain a isastrous immortality, fled "like a tall entleman" to raise troops and prevent Drake from landing. Drake had no in- entfon of landing. At his extreme leisure e took possession of the Spanish shipping, earthed every vessel and carried off ev- rything that he could use. He detained as prisoners the few men that he found on board, and then, after doing his work deliberately and completely, he set the hulls on fire, out the cables and left them to drive on the rising tide under the walls f the town—a confused mass of blazing rain. On April 12 he had sailed from lymouth. On the 20th he entered Cadiz arbor. On May 1 he passed out again ithout the loss of a boat or a man. He aid in jest that he had singed the beard f the king of Spain for him. In sober rose he had done the king of Spain an mount of damage which a million ducats nd a year's labor would impet'feotly re- laoe. The daring rapidity of the enterprise stonished Spain and astonished Europe ore than the storm of the West Indian wns. The 1s'mglish had long teeth, as mita Cruz had told Philip's council, and he teeth would need drawing before mass ould be hoard again at Westminster, The pollards were a gallant race, and a dash - ng exploit, though at their own expense, ould be admired by the countrymen of crv; ntes.

Burghley and Walsingham, you can from their letters, believed now that El abeth had ruined herself at last. Happ her moods were variable as the wreath She was forced to sett the condition which she had reduced h�°�,affairs in Low Countries by the appeariinco of a nu ber of starving wretches who had desert from the garrisons there and had co across to clamor for their pay at her o palace gates. If she had no troops in t field but a mutinous and starving rabb she might get no terms at all. It mfg be well to show Philip that on one 0 meat at least she could still be dangero She had lost nothing by the bold actio of Drake and the privateers. With hal heart she allowed Drake to fit them o again, take the Buenaventura, a ship her own, to carry his flag and go down the coast of Spain and see what was goi on. He was not to do too much. She se a vice admiral with hien in the Lion to a check on overaudaoity. Drake kne how to dual with embarrassing vice a mirals. His own adventurers would sa if he ordered, to the mountains of tth moon and be quite certain that it was t right place to go to. Once under way an on the blue water he would go his ow course and run his own risks. Cadiz harbor was thronged with tran ports, provision ships, powder vessels— hundred sail of them—many of a thousan tons and over, loading with stores for th armada. There were 30 sail of adventu ers, the smartest afloat on the ocean an sailed by the smartest seaman that ev handled ropo or tiller. Something mist be done at Cadiz if ho did not say to much about it. The leave had been give him to go, but he know by experienc and Burghley again warned him, that might and probably would be revoked he waited too long.

All day long there had been heard the measured tread of soldiers, marching through the streets: all day long gaily bedecked boats had been p•assing to and from the vessel that was to take them to Havana. The twilight had begun to deepen when the correspondent saw a start- ling and pretty sight—the impetuous action of a pertly, good-looking and rvell-dressed lady, who noticed ayoung soldier walking dejectedly alone down the pier in his travelling gray, with a knapsack strapped over his shoulders. All the rest of the men had friends, their novias, mothers, relatives and the usual gallant effort to look elated and full of hope. This lad had no one, and it might be divined that he wfts carrying a heavy desolate heart over the seas. The handsome woman burst from her group of friends, took the boy's hand and said "My son has already gone to Cuba. He is in the regiment of Anpalusia and sailed two months ago. You may meet hirn, Pepe G.; t tke this kiss to him." She leaned and kissed his cheek, An English boy would have shown awkwardness, but these gtaceful Southerners are never at a loss for a pretty gesture and a prettier word. The boy flushed with pleasure, and still holding the lady's hand, said, with quite a natural gallantry, without smirk or silly smile, "And may I nut take one for myself as well, senora?" The lady reddened, laughed a little nervously, and bent and kissed him again, to the frantic applause of soldiers and civilians, while the boy walked on braced and happy., Don't neglect that nasty coughs Dr Wood's Norway Pine Syrup can cure it.

Campbell, the highly esteem- ed pastor of the Baptiet church,Essex,Ont., Bays: "From my personal use of Doan's Kidney Pills I can say they are an excel- lent remedy for all kidney troubles." A rumor is 1 urrent on the Pacific- coast, acificcoast that the Imperial Government is about to acquire the whole site of Es- quimalt Village for the purpose of for- t ification works and dock extension.

It never fails to remove corns painlessly, and the volunteers and everybody else should have it. Beware of substitutes. Get Put- nam's Extractor and take no other. An Ottawa telegram says: "There is much apprehension here among Sir Charles Trapper's friends over the ac- tivity of Hon. George E. Foster, who is said to be after the leadership. In con- sequence of this, there is a talk of a grand Liberal -Conservative rally in Ottawa early in September, by which time the services of Sir Charles Tupper can be had. It is not unlikely that Sir Charles will be induced to deliver a series of addresses in Ontario during the corning autumn. CROFULR. " My little boy, aged 7 years and 15 months, was a victim of Scrofula on the face, which all the doctors said was incurable. To tell the truth he Was so bad that I could not bear to look at 1hitm. At last I tried a bottle of Burdock B?bod Bitters, and before it was half used he was gaining, and by the time he had three bottles used he was completely cured. I cannot say too much in recom- mendation of B.B.B. to all who suffer as he did." JOSEPH P. LABELLE, Mani - wake P.O., Que. There can be no question about it.

Through its powerful blood p1 ties, it gets at th eat BURDOCK: rifying proper - source of dis- and completely icates it from system. TIERSI ,r:. CHARACTER IN GAIT. Individuality Is Very Pronounced In a Man's Mode of Walking. Exports say that handwriting never varies in its essence—that is, that its true characteristics are always preserved, oven when ane attempts to imitate the writing of another. But still we know that for- geries sufficiently clover to bewilder hand- writing exports have been p'rpotrrtted, and it is also certain that, granted a cur- tain "knack" and peculiar talent, a most characteristic signature can be se imitated as to defy anything more than grave sus- picion of the committal of a forgery. Walking, however, conies under anoth- er category. No one can imitate another's walk for more than two or three steps without making it obvious to any but the densest observer that he is acting or walk- ing a part, that he is thinking constantly of the length of his stride, of the way the foot should roach and leave the ground, of the speed and of the swing of the body. So very characteristic is walking that oven the most unobservant requires only to hear three or four footfalls in a passage, eto., without seeing the walker to be abso- lutely assured of his individuality if, of course, the walker is familiar to the lis- tener, And how does character show itself in walking? I should bo inclined to say, "In every way." For example, could one imagine a busy, alert criminal lawyer lolling along with a long, heavy, laborious style, or could one imagine a lethargic, unambitious, routine life living farm la- borer pass along a street with a springy, alert, active and nervous tread? The cautious, suspicious man could not possibly walk in the same manner as the hail fellow well met, open handed sports- man; neither could the walk of the digni- fied high church clergyman resemble that of the bustling, all there grocer bent on making himself a millionaire. The cowardly cannot walk as do the fearless, the restless not as the phlegmatic, and for this reason it seems to me that the police have often something stronger to go on when they flnd a prisoner's boot mark tallies with the impress of the foot of the known criminal, for if placed under observation when at exercise he will dem- onstrate to those watching him the weight he puts on the different parts of the foot, where the impress would be greater, and so on.—London Globe. The Oldest Forename. In ancient times people had one name only, as Adam or David, and in order to distinguish persons of the same name it was the custom to affix the description "son of" Isaao or Joseph, as the case might be. Thus we get Solomon ben David among the Hebrews and Evan ap Richard among tho Welsh, to quote two examples. Although the argument that those names were not strictly"forenames" is not without weight, yet it is responsi- ble to accept them as such, seeing that the application had to bo supplemented by an- oher for the sake of distinotion. We are ! i therefore entitled to include them within the scope of the question. Adam and other early Biblical names are regarded as the oldest for obvious rea- sons; but, excluding these, the choice falls upon Marmaduke, which is the modern rendering of the ancient Chaldean Merl- I dug, also written 111'.aruduk and Merodach, the god who interceded constantly between the angry Ea and the humble Damikna, his father and mother. The Romans used t both forenames and family names, and of the former two that date back about a 2,600 years are still with us—namely, Mercersand Lucius, represented in mod- ern tongues by Mark and the feminine f Lucy. The old form "Marcus" is still re- tained in some families.—Pittsburg Dis- patch. r^'�," r -vr,r.---a r-1'iI " Tu ' Ready to Instruct.

It may be French, Spanish, Italian, mathematics or playing the fiddle.

A very little story with a very big moral has just conte to my notice. It was old at a gathering of housekeepers who Were considering the "saving of steps," and I hasten to pass 1t on while there is still time forit to bring comfort for warts weather housekeeping. The story was of a wisp Chinese woman who raised her family to rank and wealth by her wisdom. One of her rules was that they should never go to or fromwork in the fields empty handed. Going they too:. front the house garbage, ashes and some- thing else, which, a nuisance near the dwelling, served as fertilizers farther afield. Coming back they brought sticks for fuel or stones for walls, and thus cleared the fields while they provided for the house. The principle is a wise one, and many a trip up and down stairs mightbe saved by its adoption in the home.— Philadelphia Press. The Mexican government sent a com- mission of archn:ologists to investigate certain alleged Chinese characters recently discovered on a monument near Hermo- sillo, and they have announced that there can be no question that the characters are Chinese and that they must have beam there many centuries.
