The wild west of Ireland is the luau -
roe bonus of "poem" or illicit whiskey,

The report of the Commissioners of
Inland Revenue for 130(3 shows that the •
number of tletections a illicit distilla-
tion was 390-5 in England, 0 in Scot-
land and 388 in Ireland.

tax imposed by the Saxon Government,

every true peasant son of Connaught.
And in the Interests of truth it must
,be added that those who inhabit the
coast counties, from Jamey's to "Dorieretl,
inclusive, are also fullyealive to it se-

the adulterated whiskey usually met
with in the small public housee in this
region of poverty; for in the Connemara
country, at any rate, the illieit whiskey

"I suffered so much with indigestion
that my life had become a burden," says
Miss Nellie Arc:Weald, of abeet Harbor,
N. S. "Every time 1 took even the light-
e.st meal it caused rue hours of agony.
The trouble eausea a choking sensation
in the region of my liaise, which seri-

even the lightest bousework, and I would ;

I soughe medical aid, and tried sev-

considerable distance, an who had been
an invalid, wrote us about this time
that she had. 'been cured through using
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and this de-
cided me to give them a fair trial, prac-

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure indiges-

• BLUE LIGHT ASA REMEDY.
Simple Proeess to Give It the teffects of
Ordinary Anaesthetics.
A proposition to produce insensibility
to pain by utilizing the effect of blue
light on the higher nerve eentres was
advaneed at the liwiss dental congress at
Lausanne last year by M. Bedard, pro-
fessor of enedicine at the "University of
Geneva. It is stated in the British Med-
ical Journal •that he has since made a
further communication oit the subject

that the general psychic effect of the

ordinary anaesthetics in operations,

Shaping Silk Hat Brims.
The nail of his right forefinger was
long, yellow, horny and the fingertip
had so thickened and hardened •that it
seemed to be covered with pale leather.
He was a silk hat maker, and it was

the process of a silk hat's manufacture,
he said:

SOUVENIR POSTAI, CARDS.
Popular Irlisapprehension That Makes
Many of Them Unavailable.
A law was enacted by Congress a few
years ago which provided tbat clods of
the same size and weielit as the ordin-
ary postal cards might be sent through
the mails as ordinary postal cards pro-
vided a 1 -cent stamp was affixed.
• Many of the printed cards sold as sou-
venir postal cards meet these require-
ments and can be written upon and sent
through the mails with 4 Iment stamp
affixed. The trouble is, however, that
not all, or indeed most, of the souvenir
postal cards do meet the government re-
quirement. Many of them aro much
bigger than the ordinary cards and they
are made of leather and Wood and. al -
roost everything else.
All of these cards are mailable as
merchandise at the rate of 1 cent an
ounce, but if anything is written upon
them then they require letter postage,
which is 2 cents an ounce. The leather
cards, which are so popular this season,
are of about the same size as the or-
dinary cards and would be mailable if
not written upon 31 14 were not for the
fact that they are much thicker than
the ordinary postal cards. This bars
them from the mails except as merchan-
dise, and if written upon letter postage
must be paid..
The wooden souvenirs are generally
much larger and heavier than ordinary
postal cards and generally weigh more
than an ounce. "Upon these, if there is
any writing, 4 cents in stamps must be
affixed.
These few facts cover the government
regulations, and if everybody was fa-
miliar with them end obeyed them they
would save much trouble and more sou -
venire would reach their destination,
But the trouble is that to many people
all souvenirs "look alike" and they af-
fix 1 -cent stainps to big and little, write
their messages on the back and, dump
them into the letter boxes. The great
majority of them do not reach their des-
tinations and. then there is sorrow anti
disappointment.—Portland, Me., Press.
