CLERGYMAN CREATES A SENSATION. TELLS HIS CONGREGATION THERE IS A CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS. It is'generally admitted among medi- cal men that drunkenness ie a disease. Borne modify this by saying that it is a sign of weak will power. Now, weak- ness Is dangerously near disease. As the taste for liquor is a disease, it is only necessary to find the proper cure to be rid of the trouble. A well known Methodist divine, inter- ested in the cause of temperance, made It his 'business to find out if any cure for drinking has been discovered. This is an extract from one of his sermons on temperance. "I find that the use of Samaria Rem- edy for the curs of drunkenness fa steadily increasing. Wives who wish to win back their husbands, and mothers who long to redeem their sons, are giv- ing Samaria Remedy to the wayward ones in tea and coffee. Those who have relatives or friends who feel that they need help to shake off the hold of the demon rum, buy Samaria Remedy. In the .alcoholic wards of the leading hos- pitals Samaria Remedy is ordered for those who express an earnest desire to stop drinking. It delights me to say that Samaria Remedy is doing a grand, good work, and has my hearty blessings for saving so many from lifelong dissi- pation and degradation."

Nothing in the navigational equip- ment quipment of a ship has been the subject of more anxious scientific research or re- ceives more jealous care than the marin- er's compass. The popular notion of the compass needle always pointing north and south ie—well, more inaccurate than even pop- ular notions usually are Even under the most favorable cnuditiona there are only certain places upon the surface of the earth where the compass needle does point north and south, and 1t is quite safe to say that such conditions are never found on board of any ship. But we must go further and say that no more unfavorable position could be found for a compass than on board of a modern steamship, which is a compli- cated WAS of steel, all tending to draw the coutpasa needle from its allegiance to the magnetic pole of the earth, war- ring influences which must needs be ccimteracted by all sorts of devices which hedge round the instrument by an invisible wall of conflicting currents of magnetism, And as if this were not enough there are now huge dynamos to be reckoned with, producing electric currents( for all sorts of purposes on board, In the midst of these mystic currents the poor little compass needle, upon which the twiner depends for his guide across the' trackless deep, hangs euspended like one shrinking saint surrounded by le- gions of devils.—Windsor Magazine. t_♦ 1 His Hands Were Cold.

BOLE DRUG CO. • WINNIPEG, MAN. el SNOWED UP ON THE STEPPE, Experiences of Winter Travellers "n Siberian Hallway. When winter sets in adventuree by rail are frequent und the process of "roughing it" is trying. Often trains ore snowed up at little squalid sta- tions on the steppe, 1(11011 the passengers e;w not nothing but black bread and ten 101• hours? Aye, and for days, 1 t depends on the authorities how long the !ltstu'red travellers shall abide. This year numerous trains were caught in the snow, almost buried there,. and generally on the open steppes fifty or sixty miles from n lemon and a hun- dred reties from a beefsteak. The pas- sengers besought the station master and others to have them dug out and to clear the line. They even telegraphed to the Minister of Ways and Communi- cations, and received assurances that the order would be given. 1t was given —and disregarded, Story telling and card playing in the flickering light of a candle were the most serious occupations of the prneon- ers on the steppe, In one case that came under my knowledge "he" end "she" met for the first tine under these uncommon conditions, fell in love over a sausage, a stale roll and half a bottle of wine, which he happened to have, and they married shortly afterward. Here is a copy of one of the tele- grams from snowed up passengers that were sent this season: "This in the sec- ond day that we are kept by snow drifts here in the lonely station, Pookhovo. In spite of the energetic telegram of the Minister of Ways and Communications the manager of the line has taken no efficacious measures. We are doomed to linger on here for an indefinite per- iod."
