F Ise CHERRY'S TROUBLES, Were of the Heart—liuman Skill was Al- most Defeated when Dr. Agnew's -Core for the Heart Fell Into the Breach, and in a few Minutes After One Dose He Found Great Relief, and Five Bottles Made a Bad Heart a Good One. Wm. Cherry, of Owen Sound, Ont., writes: ''For the past too years I have been greatly troubled with weakness of the heart and fainting spells. I tried several reme- dies, and consulted best physicians without any apparent relief. I {noticed testimonials of great cures made by Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Ileart. I procured a bottle and the first dose gave me great relief. The first bottle did wonders for me. After using five bottles there are none of the symptoms re- maining whatever.

For some time prior to its leaving office, the late Government kept appointing many persons to civil service positions not only in the capital but in other parte of the country. In Montreal, for example, a large number of temporary clerks were put its the poetoffice. These men mustsoon head discovered that they were not required— that their appointments could not be de- fended on the ground of public poHoy. Twenty-five of these temporary employes have now to look eltewhere for work.

Mr. Joseph B. Bishop, in his article on "Inauguration Scenes and Incidents" in The Century, says of President Jackson's inauguration: An eyewitness, who took a somewhat jocose view of the day's events, wrote that the most remarkable feature about Jack- son as he marched down the aisle of the senate with a quick, largo step, as though ho proposed to storm the capitol, was his double pair of spectacles. He habitually wore two pairs, one for reading and the other for seeing at a distance, the pair not in use being placed across the top of his head. On this occasion, says the eyewit- ness, the pair on his head reflected the light, and soine of the rural admirers of the old hero wore firmly persuaded that they .were two plates of metal let into his bead to close up holes made by British bullets. • When he appeared on the portico, we are told that the shout which arose rent the air and seemed to shake the very ground. The ceremony ended, the general mounted his horse to proceed to the White House, and the whole crowd followed him. "The president," says a contemporary writer, "was literally pursued by a motley concourse of people, riding, running helter skolter, striving who should first gain ad- mittance intro the executive mansion, where it was understood that refreshments were to he distributed." An abundance of refreshments had been provided, inohiding many barrels of orange punch. As the waiters opened the doors to bring out the upon in pails the crowd rushed them, upsetting the pails and breaking the glasses. Inside the house the crush was so great that distribution ,:of refreshments was impossible, and tubs of orange punch were set out in the grounds to entice peo- ple from the rooms. Jackson himself was so pressed against the wall of the reception room that he was in danger of injury and was protected by a number of men linking arms and forming a barrier against the crowd. Men with boots heavy with mud stood on the satin covered chairs and sofas in their eagerness to get a view of the he- ro. Judge Story wrote that the crowd con- tained all sorts of people, from the highest and most polished down to the most vul• gar and groes in the nation. 1/I never saw such a mixture," he added. ",The reign of King Mob seemed triumphan- I was glad to escape from the scene as soon as peal - bis." :AGAR RIBBONS. NEWS NOTES. While Mr Robert Bruce, of Valentia, Ont, was clipping an aged horse, be was kioked over the heart, and died inetautly, Rev, Dr. Jackson, of Galt, who is going to take charge le Cleveland, was tendered a farewell social on Wednesday night, and presented with $760—three months' salary —as a parting gift. There begins to be talk in Government circles regarding the several Lieutenant - Governorships which will have to be filled befere long. In spite of the denial that has been made in some.quprtere, it is nee- erthelees true that Charles H. Molntosh has tendered his resignation as Lieutenant - Governor of the Northwest Territories. Rev. Charles Henry Keays, pastor of the First Congregational Church, Ravenswood near Chioago,an old Hamilton boy,and son of the late Mr. Robert H. Keays, died at his home on Monday, and his remains were interred in the Hamilton cemetery Thurs- day. Deceased bad a brilliant record as a minister, was of marked literary taste, and a deep thinker, besides having a good fund of humor. • .I ,� !Ninety-four Styles Made and Their Mau- nfaoture as Important Industry. One New York firm alone turns out yearly an average of more,than $2001000 worth of gager ribbons and on these em- ploys -nearly 600 bands. Unttl 1868, it le said, no oig+ar ribbons were manufactured here.. The useWof silk ribbons to tie up ci- gars originated in Cuba. The Spaniard's patriotism funnelled him to choose the na- tional coiors of red and yellow, and these two colors, separate or in combination, are still the favorttea. The flret ribbons were made in Barcelona and were the rich crim- son searlei known as the Figaro, the vivid yellow of the Cabanas and Partigas and the red and yellow of the Espanola. The first domestic ribbons made were of cotton, of a pale yellow with a brown stripe running down the center, and this was speedily foilowbd by a ribbon made wholly of silk. In 1808 a cigar manufac- turer in this country conceived the idea of having his name printed on the silk rib- bon, which had hitherto been plain, and also the shape of the cigar. This was at first done in blank, then in colors and eventually in silver and gold, with em- bossed work and coats of arms. Then the name was woven into the ribbon instead of being printed. Many of these ribbons are still in use on expensive goods. Woven ribbon is very valuable as a trademark, since it is impossible to duplicate it in small quantities. In 180 the first ribbon factory was es- tablished in this country by a man 'named Wioke, who established a small factory near the East river. It was operated by two Swiss. The demand for the ribbon in- creased, and in 1870 the profits were so good that a four loom factory was started and operated by Swiss weavers especially imported, Only two, widths of what is termed "Londres" ribbons were then made. In 1887 there were more ribbons used in proportion to the total number of cigars manufactured in this country than in any other year, and since then the bun- dling of cigars has steadily decreased In favor of the system of packing 25 or 50 in a box without ribbons, but so great has been the increase in the number of cigars made, now over 4,000,000,000 yearly, that the ribbon business has not decreased, but has steadily held its own. The raw silk for the ribbon is imported direct from Japan and China. There are 94 styles of cigar ribbons made, varying in width from one-eighth of an inch to 1 Inches. United States ribbons are sold in Canada in preference to the English make, although the duty on our good is heavier. Some of the machinery is very interesting, especially that used for weaving in the name of the firm in'bl`ack. . Some years ago the general public war bitten by a cigar ribbon fad, and many ribbons were sold by cigar dealers to make lamhrcquins, sofa cushions, etc.. A wom- an in New Haven made a table mat of 45( Separate ribbons, and it fetched $160, while a cushion mnadtPhy a cigar manufac- turing firm as a compliment) to an actress whose name was used as a trndomart cost $250 simply for the. needlework and tithe expended on it.—New York Sun. Quick Beef Extract. A quick way to make a strong beef ex- tract rather than tea for an invalid need- ing plenty of nourishment is by a process of searing and preening. Raw, juicy beef is out into pieces the size of a small egg. These are put into a very hot skillet and quickly seared on all sides. They are then rapidly taken off in a hot, deep dish and pressed firmly with a wooden spoon ord spatula to extract the juice, the meat bo- ing often returned to the fire to continue its heat, and as often taken off to squeeze out more. A glass lemon squeezer may be tend if preferred. The juice should be served very hot, alightly salted, and in a solored glass.—New York Post. A Mistake. "Don't let this occur again," said the photographer who prides himself on being enterprising. "What do you mean?" asked the assist- ant.

Mr. Cowan, the member for South Essex who, by the way, is one of the waters of the House, will probably succeed in having his alien labor law put .on the statute book, The Government will adopt the measure and aid in having it put through. It is practically a copy of the United States la- bor law, which has been operaeed to the disadvantage of Canadians, with the addi- tion of the Corliss amendment. The mea- sure will prohibit persons living in Detroit from coming to work alhl day in Windsor, returning to Detroit at night, It will be applied in a similar manner at other points along the border. The clause dealing with the stoppage of work people will not go into effect unless by proclamation of the Governor -General -in -Council. Thus, if the Corliss measure, vetoed by ex -Presi- dent Cievtland, before leaving otlice,ehould at an time be made law, the Governor -in - Council will be able to at once place a sim- ilar law in operation in this country.. The Tipping Evil Is Worse Here Than It Is In Europe. ' Rarely in hotels, at hone or abroad, does one get much attention for more than a day or two without feeling or letting if bo known that fed may be expected final• ly for proper service. This is the sad re• suit of lavish giving in days gone by or the part of Americans, who did not know first what to offer and desired that the servants should not think them mean. The evil probably never will be reformed. All that the traveler can do now is to in. sist on excellent attention and then give what seems proper, utterly regardless of the recipient's opinion. If one really cares for•what is thought, peace of mind on a journey or in the hotel is not for him. The poorest service in hotels is given by the women servants, and therefore the house. keeper may often be sent for to note neglect in cleanliness. This may require a fee, toe (about 6 francs), but the service thereafter is likely to be sullen, so that finally, whet the situation is not to be borne without loss of temper, one wisely concludes that the hotel is not of his kind, and he goes elsewhere. It is worth while to oompiair once he the manager if matters are wrong, but if that effects no reform one had better move on, because it will be evident that the management does not care whether he stays or goes. The European landlord, and especially the landlady, is a callous orea- ture, who smiles and smiles and le a vil lain still. Yet the evil of feeing is worse at home. It is hardly possible to make anything let In an American hotel in the eastern stater except at the rate of $1 a week to the table waiter, the same to the chambermaids, several dollars to the head waiter after s week or ten days, if he has given you s nine table, well placed, and 25 cents to the minor attendants every to days or week ly. This all amounts to a large sum. Bui are not fees expected in the houses of One's friends and relatives? --Lewis Morrie Id• dings in i^'- " • 0 GASTO R IA For 'Infants and Children.

Rven the doctor, nine times in ten says : " Oh, 'a little nervous- ne,es, that's all " or " neuralgia," or "insom- nia," or "dyspepsia." If he suspects the real cause he insists upon examinations and local treatment,—about the very worst thing possible to a nervous, overwrought woman, There is no need of these repugnant methods. Any woman may insure- health - aid strength in a womanly way by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It cures the weaknesses and diseases of the feminine organism absolutely and com- pletely. It was devised for this special purpose by one of the most eminent and experienced physicians in this country; ad expert specialist in women's diseases.

His school education being completed, Mr Fraser went into the service of Messrs.

For a dozen years he was in municipal life, having been elected mayor for four years. He has served his fellow citizens as high and public school trustee, and he has been president of the 8t.
