SUFFERING WOMEN
who find life a burden, can have health and
strength restored by the use of
Milburn's
Heart and Nerve
Pills.
The present generation of women and girls
have more than their share of misery. With
some it is nervousness and palpitation, with
others weak, dizzy and fainting spells, while with
others there is a general collapse of the system.
Iifilburn's Heart and Nerve Pills tone up the
nerves, strengthen the heart and make it beat
strong and regular, create new red blood cor-
puscles, and impart that sense of buoyancy to
the spirits that is the result of renewed mental
and physical vigor.
Mrs. D. O. Donoghue, Orillia, Ont., writes:
" For over a year I was troubled with nervous-
ness and heart trouble. I decided to give Mil -
burn's Heart and Nerve Pills a trial, and after
using five boxes I found I was completely cured.
I always recommend them to my friends."
Price 50 cents per box or three boxes for 81.25,

Thou laud for gods or those of old
Whe men deemed gods, of loftier mold
(Sons of the vast hills, the sea;
Masters of earth's humanity )
I stand here where this autumn morn
Autumnal garbs thy hills orlon);
And all the woodlands flame
with fire
And glory of the world`s desire
Far northward lie the purple hills;
Far vests between, thy great stream fills.
Ottawa, bis fleet tides isupearled,
From deep to deep udown the world.
O laud, by every gift to God,
I Brane home of freedom, let thy sod,
Sacred with blood of hero sires
Spurn from its breast iguobler fires;
Keep on these shores, where beauty
t ei,cus
Aid vaetuess folds from peak to plains,
With room for all from hills to dee,
Nu Shaoklell, helot tyranny;
Spurn from thy breast the bigot lie,
The emalleat not of earth or sky ;
Breed all rhy sons brave, stalwart men.
To meet the world as oue to ten;
Breed all thy daughters mothers true,
Magid of that glad j cy of you.
Till liberties thy hills adorn
As wzde as thy wide fields of corn.
Let that brave s'iul of Britain's race
That peopled all this vastuess, trace
Its freedouis fought, ideals won,
Strength built ott streuth, from sire to
800.
Till from thy earth -wide hills and seas,
Thy manlwo,t as the etreugtli of trees.
Thy liberty alo..e compare
With thy wide winnowed mountain air,
And round earth's rim thine honor
glows,
Uasullitd as thy drifted snows.

PULSE OF THE PRESS.
A paying teller in a Winnipeg bank
shot himself because he had been given
notice of dismissal for Inarrying upon
insufficient salary. FIs was 31 years of
age, and the pssition of paying teller is
one of the most responsible in the ser-
vice, A man who cannot marry at that
age and in that position, is an object of
sympathy. The other day a paying
teller in a Toronto hank, handled thous-
ands of dollars every Flay, absconded.
It was found that his salary was $650 a
year and he was helping to support Ms
parents to boot. -London Advertiser.
Ontario is in the throes of a series of
municipal campaigns through the holi-
day season. People break off in the
midst of wishing you the usual compli-
ments to eek whom you are supporting
for the mayor, ani why. Bad as is our
date iu Montreal for the municipal elec-
tions. (March,) this 18 worse. Why
should not the civic year end with the
harvest year; and lot our people get the
aldermanic and outer muninipal agonies
over while the weather is not too incle-
ment and there is no season of "good
will on earth" to be over -turned with
strife? As it is, a Montreal municipal
contest breeds pnenntonia, while that in
Ontario makes Santa Claus look like au
electiou agent. -Montreal Star.
Time to Pray.
A preacher at the conclusiou of one of
his sermons said: "Let all in the house
who are paying their debts stand up."
Instantly every man, woman and child,
with one exception, rose to their feet.
The preacher seated them and said:
"Now every man not paying his debts
stand ap." The exception noted, a care-
worn, hungry -looking individual, clothed
in his last Summer's suit, slowly assumed
a perpendicular position.
"How is it, my friend," asked the
minister, "that you. are the only man
ot to meet his obligations?"
"Iran a newspaper," he meekly an-
swered; "and the brethern here who
stood ui,re my subscribers, and-"
"Let as pi'n ,"exclaimed the minister.

The Weakness
of Old Age
AS the years go by the blood gets
thin, watery and impure, and
fails to supply the nourishment
required to keep vitality at high
water mark. Circulation gets bad,
and the nervous system suffers.
Besides the pains and aches, besides
the weakness and dizziness, there
are feelings of numbness which tell
of the approach of paralysis and
locomotor ataxia.
Fudging from the experience of
the thousands of old people who
have tested Dr. Chase's Nerve Food,
it seems to be exactly suited to
overcome these conditions, cease
quent on old age.
Unlike ordinary medicines, lar.
Chase's Nerve Food is entirely
l`estorA.tive in action, and Cures by
forming new, firm flesh and tissue,
building up the system. 5()

A little laugh,
A little fun,
A blossom bordered
Way to run.
A growing tall,
And serious, too;
And then the school
To labor through.
Then blossom bordered,
Ways of love -
Just two on earth,
And stars above.
Then to the alter,
Then away
To homely cares
Or every day.
Then joys unfold.
Theu new delight!
A hubs crying
Iu the night.
Then something more
Then parent's glee -
A grandchild
Climbing on your knee.
And then to sleep;
Green sod above;
But life's worth living
For the love.

PERSONAL PARARGAPDIS.
Mrs. Robt. Henderson, ot Goderieh, is
ie town visiting her daughter, Mrs, Alex.
Inglis.
Miss Cruiokshanks and Miss Molndoo,
of Peterboro, are visiting in town, and

ly employed in Dr. Towler's store, will
be pleased to learn that he has success-
fully passed the recent examination of
the Ontario School of Pharmacy, To-
ronto, and is now a full fledged druggist.
The Capital.
It 18 not generally known, says the
Philadelphia Record, but it is a fact of
history nevertheless that Bristol town-
ship, lying on the east side of German-
town, had a very narrow escape from
being selected as the site of the capital
of the United States. It was a very
small matter that turned the choice to-
ward Maryland and Virginia. So posi-
tive were some members of congress
that the capital was going to be located
near Germantown that they purchased
real estate there, not, of course, as a
natter of speculation, but simply to be
near at hand when the removal from
Philadelphia to Bristol took place.
When the vote of the eommissioners
was taken there was a tie, four being
for Bristol and four for the District of
Columbia. Washington east the decid-
ing vote, and Bristol township was left
out in the cold.

FRIVOLITY IN ENGLAND.
A Claim That It Is What Ito4111,
Keeps the Nation Sane.
SVhtclt is worse --to be too aerlous or
too frivolous? I have uo doubt about
the !natter myself, so far as individuals
are concerned, though all extremists
are bores, Tho perpetually lively,
feather brained, pleasure razed crea-
ture is almost, if not quite, irritating
as the deadly serious indiv ual. But,
apropos of the ace ,US ti a recently
y,
lodged against us that els a nation we
are becoming too frivolous, one cannot
help saying that we are a great deal
livelier than we were a few yenrs ago,
and for this relief assuredly we have
cause to be thankful.
In consequence we are accused of
having become too frivolous. It seems
to me that we have just got matters
nicely balanced. This is au age when
we are prepared to be cranks on the
slightest provocation. People crave for
missions, they wallow in philanthropy,
they pounce with avidity on new re-
ligions, they will plunge into politics
or write attacks on women, society,
the degeneracy of the age, or anything
else that gives them an opportunity of
airing what they call their views. So
surely, if desipere in loco were not oc-
casionally to be permitted to us, it is
fearful to think what we should be-
come. Our frivolity is Yee antidote to
the twentieth century disposition to-
ward crankiness. it really keeps us
sane, -London World.

THE HOODED COBRA.
It Ica Venerated in India as the On*
Sacred Serpent.
Of all the snakes of India the nags,
nag or hooded serpent, commonly
known as the cobra, alone is sacred. It
is called the good snake, and is con-
sidered a protector and harbinger of
success. The veneration of the cobra
is intimately connected with the wor-
ship of the sun, and is thus closely re-
lated to the orthodox Ilindoo religion.
According to the Mahabharata, the
heaven over which India ruled was
Mainly tenanted by Devas and Nagas,
the former being deified heroes of the
Aryas and the latter those of the Naga
people on earth.
Although wars continued for a long
time to be frequent between rival
chiefs of the invaders (Aryas) and the
invaded (Magas), a gradual fusion be-
tween the two peoples took place, and
heaven was shared equally by Devas
and Nagas. The serpent gods are wor-
shiped uow, as they were then, not as
dangerous reptiles, nor as mere sym-
bols, but as the deified rulers of an
ancient people, whose tribal, or, rather,
perhaps, racial, emblem was the naga,
or hooded serpent, and whose chief
deity was the sun; hence the Naga
temples are not dedicated to the ser-

SOCIAL SPONGING.
The Extent to 'Which It Is Carried
In London.
There is probably no city in the
world where there is so much social
sponging done as in London. At their
big functions hosts and hostesses have
frequently not the remotest acquaint-
ance with many of the people who at-
tend them and whose cheek is only ex-
ceeded by their voracity. "I have one
particular case in memory," says a
writer in the Boston Herald, "where a
woman brought fifty of her friends.
It was at the bouse of a millionaire,
the Icon. Glin Vivian, in Eaton square.
On the same occasion nearly every one
else brought herself, her family and
all her friends. It was a never to be
forgotten gathering. Many people nev-
er succeeded in getting beyond the hall
door. An excellent supper bad been
provided for about three or four hun-
dred, but there must have been a thou-
sand present. Abort 1 a. m. people
were sitting about in the bedrooms eat-
ing
ating sandwiches and drinking claret or
champagne -in fact, anything they
could grab from the supper table -and
the story went that they got so hungry
and riotous that they invaded the wine
cellar and the !.,Feer."
French Origin of "Save the King."
The British national anthem is of
French origin. The Petite Republique
asserts that the words of "God Save
the King" are a literal translation of a
hymn in honor of Louis XIV., chanted
by the young girls in residence at the
convent of St. Cyr.
The French words of this hymn were:
Grand Dieu, sauvez le rol!
Grand Dieu, vengez le roil
five to rot!
Que, toujours glorieux,
Louis victorieux,
Vole ses ennemis.
Toujours semis.
The music of this chant was copied
during his visit to France by Handel,
who on his return to England dedicated
it to George I.
Tom Reed's Wit.
Congressman Morse of Massachu-
setts was a great admirer of Speaker
Beed, to whom 1m said on one occa-
sion, "Do you know, Mr. heed, the
people are talking a great deal about
you for president, and I would not be
surprised if they elected you president
some day?" "Well, Morse," was the
dry comment of the speaker, "they
could do worse and I have no doubt
they will."
