Fowler, Eleotrio Street, Amherst, N,S., testifies to the good effects of the new epecifio fur all heart and nerve troubles: " For some time past I have been troubled with a fluttering sensation in the region of my heart, followed by acute pains which gave me great distress and weakened me at tinges so that I could acaroely breathe. I was very much run down and felt nervous and irritable. "I had taken a great many remedies without reoeiving any benefit, a friend induced me to try Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, I had only been taking them a short time when I felt that they were doing me great good; so I continued their use and now feel all right. I can heartily recommend Milburn'e'Heart and Nerve Pills for nervous prostration." Mrs. Fowler adds: " My daughter, now fifteen years of age, was pale, weak and run down, and she also took Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills for some time, and is now strong, healthy and vigorous." Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills cure palpitation, smothering sensation, dizzy and faint spells, nervousness, weakness, female troubles, etc. Price 50o. a box or three boxes for $1.25.

The German protectorate of the Marshall Islands, which lie just east of the Carolinea in the equatorial Pacific, contains the most daring sailors known. They are con- stantly performing feats in navigation that European sailors feared to venture on long after they had the compass, which Instrument, by the way, the Marshall is- landers reject as useless. The archipelago lies in two widely sop- arated groups, the Radack and the Ralick chains, and In each chain the islands Ile for the most part at extensive intervals. Yet the native pilots conduct voyages all over their own archipelago and to the Carolinas in one direction and the Gilberts In another. For this voyaging they rely upon charts of their own construction, the know ledge having been handed down from remote antiquity. These charts are gen- erally about a yard square and are oon- atructed of slender sticks tied together. At some intersections of the sticks are fasten- ed small shells, which stand for the differ- ent islands. The pilot poste himself in the bow, of:.j;.he. vessel.wj-th, his chart before He begins by establishing the par- --touter shell corresponding to the island from which he is just sailing. He sets the ("Mite as indicated by one of the sticks radiating from that shell in the proper direotion. Thereafter be watches the course in the sea with very slight use of the heavenly bodies for the determination of direction. They make no secret of their art. They are often at groat pains to teaoh it to white men and wonder that no one has yet been found capable of grasping it. Their ex- planation is that each stick on a chart shows the course of a stream In the sea, and that by following the streams they can find their way to their destination. They clam to see these streams with their intersections just as showu,by the sticks. W'hatevor may be the explanation, it is certain that they navigate hundreds of miles of empty ocean with neither com- pass nor chronometer nor other instru- ments save a chart of stinks. If by any accident they go astray they make no at- tempt to continue the voyage, but run at once down to leeward until they make a familiar landfall, often as far to the west as the Carolinea.—New York Sun. MIRAGE IN MANITOBA. Train Seen Twice Fifteen Minutes Before It Was Due. Arrived at Shanawan, my companion kindly offered to stay with me till the train name, but I sent him off and took my stand on the track with nothing more sub- stantial than a telegraph pole to shelter we from the ley blast. When I was left alone—sky overcast, curious kind of mist In the air, the wind howling around me and the loose snow that the wind raised from the prairie driving past me in sheets —I thought irtabont as desolate a picture as I have ever set eyes on. As luck would have it, the train was late, and I had 50 minutes in which to enjoy myself alone. I was never so abjectly cold as when that train eventually came. I was rewarded by seeing a curious atmospheric phenomenon that I used to read of as tantalizing weary travelers in the Sahara, and that, I am told, is oommon here under certain oondi- tions—viz, the mirage. At least 15 min- utes before the train arrived I caw it sud- denly leap into sight in a way that made ' me pink up my bag and hop off the track in double quick time. Then I waved my handkerchief for It to stop+nd suddenly I noticed that it had 'doted *bout * yards off. I began to charge up the trite* so as to get on board, when it mysterious - U and sudgenly disappeared. Aew min- -gee later aaw it again, anistbs Unit( off the traok and running *lop# the prairie. It gave me quite an eerie feeling, and I begat to think this cold bail got into my head, and I cant superetltious tilanoei round me to see if there Wore anymore *eine frolioking about in the snow, and suddenly I bethought me of what I had heard about the mirage. When I saw dis- • t tly that the train had stepped, it must b is been at Lamm, nearest station, ut nine or ten miles up the line.—Lon- Ora. GRAND REM2M.E4R COUGHS.

La Grippe and Nervous Prostration had Brought Captain Copp near to Death— South American Nervine was the Life ba ver. "I was ailing for nearly four years with nervous prostration. I tried many reme- dies and was treated by physicians without any permanent benefit. A year ago I took La Grippe, which greatly aggravated my trouble. My friends despaired of my re- covery. I was induced to try South Amer- ican Nervine, and was rejoiced to get al- most instant relief. I have used four bottles, and feel myself completely cured. I believe its the beet remedy known for the nerves and blood." WM. M. COPP, New- castle, N. B. Sold by Watts & Co. MODERN WAR ETHICS. Dome of the Powerful Death Dealing Ap- pliances In Current Times. In 1718 an Englishman, James Puokle, secured a British patent for wbat seems to have been an attempt at a breeohloading, rapid firing gun. An original feature of the invention was the use of two different breeoh plates, ono for square bullets, to be used against the Turks, and the other for round bullets, to be used against Chris- tians. It is curious to find two opposing tendencies in the same invention—(1) the desire to construot a gun that should be more effective because more destructive and (2) a desire to recognize certain ethical distinctions in its use. If a round bullet was too good for a Turk, a square one was too bad for a Christian. These two tendencies, one operating to make war more destruotive and the other *mitigate its harshness, are struggling for pre-eminence today as they have been for oenturies. War is an evidence of the tmgerfeetion of modern civilization. But f wp seek proof of the development of the htiiniine sentiment and of the extension of the sphere of ethics to unethical relations Qs ma fin4 it in the arts of war as surely is In the arta of peace. The introduction of new and powerful explosives and of guns of enormous power and range the application of electricity to submarine mines, the construction of mod- ern battleships and torpedo boats, the im- provements in long range rifles and rapid firingguns, and many other inventions inept„ the whole enginery of war today withf a terrible destructiveness. The seri- ous student,of ethics, not to speak of the oynls, >nay hell ask whetbor tlis develop- ment of philanthropy in iaitlgating the hardeklps of wax has kept pabe with thew t deptruetria tendencies and whether ethics Might net be better employed in disoour- teglns such inventions than in palliating their,offeet.. But, without speculating on per distance from the millennium, it is a feet that the sense of obligation between nations and the recognition of duties to civilization, lend humanity have glade snob progi'see that war oannot wholly abrogate thein.--.J'orum.

A nutmeg tree of the largest size will produce no more than five pounds of nut. mega. The color of hydrangeas is deepened by putting iron nails, green vitriol or alum into the soil. The color of daffodils is deepened by inoreasing the richness of the soil they grow in. A remarkable plant has recently been discovered in New Guinea. It is green leaved, with spikes of gorgeous crimson flowers, 20 to 80 inches long, and as thiok as an ordinary walking stick. A strange tree, styled the "moosanga," grows in the Kongo. It belongs to the order "urticaoece." When the tree is out at a height of about five feet, a large quan- tity of water is observed to flow from the section. Edelweiss •is to be protected by law in the Austrian Alps. The emperor has signed laws passed by the diets of Styria and Carniola forbidding the removal of the plant with its roots, the sale of it to tourists and exportation in large quanti- ties. RAILWAY RUMBLES. By the year 1903 the Swiss government will have again secured control of the five leading railways in the country. The fare for the trip from Matadi to Stanley Pool on the new Kongo ra, tway is $70, though the time is only 20 hours. Its time table folders cost the Boston and Maine railroad last year $180,000. Simpler and cheaper forms are being used this year and give, it is said, better satisfao• tion to the patrons of the road. London's underground eleotrio Waterloo and City railroad has been opened for traffic. The road is a mile and half long, ending at the Mansion House, and short- ens to five minutes a journey that takes half an hour in the crowded streets. THE ROYAL BOX. Kaiser Wilhelm treated 40 British and 48 German naval cadets to beer on his yacht Hohenzollern while at Trondhjem. An accomplishment of Queen Victoria of which but little is known, but of which she is very proud, is that of being able to write with either hand.

Tells of relief from suffering by Dr. Fowler's Ext. of Wild Strawberry. There are many people martyrs to bowel complaints who would find Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry a wonderful blessing to them. It not only checks the diarrhoea but soothes and heals the inflamed and irritated bowel, so that permanent relief is obtained. Mrs. Andrew Jackson, Houghton, Ont., sends the following letter: " For the past two or three years I have been a martyr to that dread- ful disease diarrhwa. I tried every remedy I heard of and spent a good deal of money trying to get cured but all failed until I happened to read of a lady who was cured by using Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry. I purchased a bottle and commenced taking it according to directions and was cured in a very short time. I cannot praise the remedy too highly for what it did for me." FASHION AND FABRIC. Fancifully shaped yoke backs are 80015 upon some of the newest shirt waists. Extremely natural looking cherries and berries are for the moment 0 very popular trimming for round hats and bonnets. If one wishes to freshen the bodice of a black silk or satin dress, airy black point d'esprit draperies on the waist and sleeves make a cool and pretty change in the town, The hest compromise sleeve shape now in fashion, looking well on women of ev- ery size, is the modified mutton leg sleeve, fitting the arms comfortably and grace- fully draped at the top. Very smart and pretty are the toilets of rose colored, ciol blue or dove gray mohair sicilienno, trimmed with graduated rows of Irish guipure insertion, with a tiny frilling of tulle at each edge. The new sailor hats of pearl white and soft cream white French felt are very ap- propriate and stylish accompaniments to the tailor costuines of white serge, camel's hair, mohair and other handsome wools. Tho most attractive styles for youthful wearers for the earlypfall are the tailor made suits of cream white wool in serge, mohair, camel's hair, French costume cloth, canvas, wvo1, etamine or bourette cloth. One of the new autumn bodice models for a tailor costume is fitted almost as snugly as a jersey waist, with flat gradu- ated plaits laid on after the waist is fash- ioned, the bodice fastened under the plait at the left side. In adjusting the seethes and belt ribbons of various lengths the smart broking em- pire bow still remains a popular finish to the waists of beoh day and evening gowns. The usual method of tying the ribbon is to form long loops standing upward, with corresponding loops la'low the waist. The use of the narruwoet bine iibl:olt in black velvet is still conspicuous of many summer toilets of veiling, summer silk, muslin, eta. 11 edges the ruffles, is laid between narrow ruches or theles, enciI'cles the bodice, sleeves and belt and often trims the entire surface of the revers collar. —New York Post.
