There is living* in. a aharing slab- urb of Manchester,XDnghi1, a man of considereble naeans whoni the most conclasive evidence proved to have committed slaked) more than twelve years ago. About thirty years ago he was sin buelness in London as a wine -merchant, and Wee face to face with rep, the businese, in which he had succeeded his fath- er, having gone wrong through mis- Manageaneut. So bad was the 'con- dition of his affairs that he forged so lne moeey-bills to enable him to stave off liis creditors. Plaving ob- tained the cash, he changed his mind as to what be should do with it, went down to Dover, with a hand- bag a,nd a rug, and boarded a Ca- lais steamer. lie attracted a good deal of attention by his strange, excited manner, and the number of drinks he gulped down before the steamer started ; and hall -a -dozen people abetted were able to accur- ately describe him. But he never reaeh Calais. When the steamer ran in at,that port, a passenger was missing. The vessel was searched high and low, but the bag and rug were all "that could be found, and, no one having seen the merchant leave the 'vessel before starting, it was decided that he had committed stiicide by throwing himself overboard under cover of the darkness. His bag was therefore searched. It contained a little 'personal lP inen a hair -brush and a letter. When thiesletter was opened'by the proper authorities, it was made . manifest that the ruined wine-merehant had committed sui- cide, for it was addressed to his wife as a last farewell, and stated that the writer was going away to end his troubles in the ONLY WAY THEY COULD END. As no body was found no inquest 'was held. The business was wound up, and few persons ever heard of the forgery, as it was not discovered until some weeks after the suicide had been forgotten by the public. To cut a long story short, the un- worthy merchant "doubled -back" on &is track at Dover, add went abroad by another route. With his ill-got- ten capital he set himself up in. business in Frankfort in Geemany. Be prospered, and was duly joined by his wife ; be then sold his busi- ness, and, being assured safety by being nine years dead, returned to his country, where he lives, under an assumed name, ..of course, and a changed exterior, in comparative affluence. •Some years ago, a boatman, near • Maidenhead, England, whilst walk- ing along the towpath espiedea row- boat floating keel apwards. Ile got a boat, went out, righted the drift- er, and identified it as one belong- ing to his employer, which had been let out to a gentleman the evening before and not returned. There was nothing to show how the boat bad capsized. The following day a de- tective came drain to the boat- house. A gentleman was missing from London; it was believed he bad committed suicide, and he bad been traced to Maidenhead. The lsoalanan recognized a photo of the missing man as that of the naan to whom he had let, out the boat he had found capsized the day before. Con- sequently, the river was dragged, but no body was ever found. e The missing man had, however, Written from a local hotel a letter to his wife, in which he said he was going to drown himself, as he was face to face with ruin., he having run his stock -broking business at a • loss for a considerable time. •He in- closed postal Ordee •to the amount of $20, which he said was all he possessed, for he had just previous- ly lost $8,500 odd on the Turf in fruitless efforts to REDRESS HIS FORTUNE. In the light of all the circum- stances no one doubted but that the unfortunate stooldbrolter had com- mitted suicide. His wife was incoar solable, and in the seventh month of her widowhood went to seek com- fort, so she said, of her sister who lived in Italy. Strange to say, she never arrived there, and, despite careful inquiries on the part of the deceased stockbroker's creditors, who had been badly hit his fail- • ure, for years it -remained a mys- tery what had become or the widow. A clue was by chance obtained one •day, and, on the strength of it, •a • pri-vsate inquiry agent was sent out to Buenos Ayres. He arrived just •hi time to express sympathy with the lady in the acettal death of the stockbroker, who had died the day •• previously from fever, after having naade a very nice little fortune by cattle -rearing. • Scotland Yard eas on its records the case of a tieket-of-lea,ve man, who, to avoid having to report him- • self to the police from time to time, and to wipe out the stain on his history, "committed suicide" by drowning himself in the river near Greenwich; "because/2 he alleged in rs, letter he wrote to a friend, "he iwas desperate at the way he had lp e been hounded down by the police lvex- since he left prison." :ears later, an inspector bf Prio- rs, who had a very long memory r. -laces, met, at a friend's house, a man, posing as an American of means, Whose face seemed strangely famiillar, and naore strangely aug- geAed a certain prison to the In- spector's Mind. Much thought strengthened the recollection ; photo- graphs at Seothuld Yard were bunted through, and then the Ameri- can was identified as the ex -convict suicide. The Man had, however, been put on the ?siert by some re- marks made by Ltie lnspector, and taken himself off before the police could inquire uf him how it came about that a deed ex-ctneviet pos- wooed a 'banking account" running into thonsands, and las known at Meet of thelFfest hot,in Europe.— Priibeison'S 14Eltiji.

This is one reason why hay should not remain scattered over the field at night.

There is humor, as well as secrecy, in diplomacy, and an excellent story is recalled by the treaty with Japan. Years ago the Emperor of Japan sent an embassy to France to ar- range witb the French Government about the opening of eel -tate ports which were to be de- clared free for the trade of the . Republic. The Ja- panese Government had con- ssented to throw open three ports to be chosen by France in exchange for three French ports, and the Foreign Minister in Paris, who need not be named, made his selection in confer- ence with- the Embassy from Tokio. Ile chose the ports of Yokohama, Yeddo, and Han Yang. The Em- bassy bowed and left—with a smile, we may be sure, A few days elapsed, and the Enabastay called again on the Foreign Minister, to inform him. that Japan had selected the three ports of Havre, Marseilles and Southamp- ton. There was a titter in the For- eign office, and the Minister forgot the importance of the business in his merriment. When he could stop laughing he explained to the Japan- ese Minister that Southampton was in England, "We are Perfectly aware of it," said the minister, "and Han Yang is in Corea." A lady was looking for her hue - band, and inquired anxiously of a housemaid: "Do you happen to know anything of your master's Whereabouts?" "I'm not sure, ma'am," replied the eareful domes- tic, "but I think they're in the Wash." "There is too much system, in thie school business," growled ToMmy, "Just because I snickered a little the Monitor turned me over to the principal, and the principal turned me over to pa."

Thomas Harrison of this place has addressed two signifi- cant letters to The Dodds Medicine Co., Toronto. The First One. St. Mary's Ferry, Dec. 18, 1895, Gentlemen: I feel it my duty to you and to the public at large -to tell what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for me. About one year ago I began to suffer with severe pains over the re- gion of my kidneYs, followed by a very lethargic feeling-. When I lay down it was torture to get up again. This state continued for` some time, and all the while I was still getting weaker and losing flesh rapidly. My appetite was very much im- paired, and at last I was 'obliged to eall in a physician. He gave my sufferings a very learn- ed name, and doctored rne for some time, but I got no better. „ I called in several other physicians, but it was all no use; any sufferings got worse all the time until I began to despair of life. A friend advised me to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. I was very- skeptical but was prevailed on to coraraence a treatment; the first box made me feel some better. I passed a stone that had formed in the bladder. I continued the use of Dodd's Kid- ney Pills until I had used three boxes, and now believe that I have a radical and complete cure, as it ie six months since I used any of the Pills, and have had no symptoms or return of the malady. I know that my cure is due to Dodd's Kidney Pills, as I used no other medicine after commencing their use. * Yours truly, THOMAS HARRISON. The Second One. St. Mary's Ferry, N.B., Mar. 21, 1902.
