Pains like red hot 'needlesbeing driven through the flesh—in the thigh, perhaps down the legs to the ankles—that's sciatica. None but the victim can realize the torture of this trouble, But the sufferer need nut grow discouraged for there is a cure in I)r. William's Pink Pills. These Pills enrich the blood, feed the starved sciatic nerve and thus drives out the pain. Mrs. Joseph L, Brown, Wilmot, N. S., was a victim of sciatica and found a cure in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She says :—"For a year I was laid up with sciatica from my side to my foot. What I suffered was at times day; may be a weather -breeder., awful, I could not touch my foot But guess it's all right. You ride to the floor and had to hobble Prince ; and don't stop anywhere, son." "I won't," answered Harry. He was usually a solemn little boy, but he capered on his way to the barn; be liked to ride Prince. It was a queer day. Even the birds seemed too hot to sing, and the chipmunks stayed hidden. Lit- tle gusts of wind rattled among the weeds and tossed up dust suddenly before old Prince's nose, who snort- Itaken them I was completely cured, ed suspiciously, but .did not shy;1 and have not had the slightest Prince was too staid and dignified' twinge of the trouble since. I am to shy. The way was rather lonely. Just 'before the half -way point to Winthrop, the road crossed a little creek at an easy ford. Harry was approaching this creek when he felt a drop of rain. He looked up and saw a very black and ominous cloud drifting across the sky: A little jagged streak of lightning ,winked from the edge of it. Harry did not mind getting wet, ,cut thunder -storms were another hatter. And yet it was as far back vow as it was to Winthrop; and be- sides, he hated to admit that he was afraid. So he crossed the creek. The lightning winked and shivered again, and the day grew darker. The big cloud seemed to pitch and roll like water, and the edges of it were silver -bright and odd-looking. Harry kicked old Prince to make him go faster, and his heart beat hard. The air grew colder, and the play of lightning was almost con- tinuous. No more rain fell, how- ever, and at last he reached Win- throp, and rode up before the hard- ware store. He found the proprie- tor out in front, looking curiously westward, whence Harry had come. "Something funny happening out your way, son," he said. "You wait here a while." They bad scarcely gone into the shop when the rain eame down in a flood, and continued to fall for fifteen minutes as Harry had never seen it. The whole world seemed full of water. This lasted for fif- teen minutes; and it was accom- panied by a strange roaring noise, which puzzled the storekeeper as much as it did Harry. Then the rain ceased; presently it was just a drizzle. "I think I'll go back now," said Harry. "Father must have the nails." As the rain seemed over, the storekeeper let him go. When he Left Winthrop he found the road almost washed out. A stream like a small river was run- ning down the middle of it, and all the tall weeds on each side were beaten flat and dirty. But it was when he reached the creek that Harry was most surprised. The trees were down—smashed flat in all sorts of positions; only two er three of the smaller ones had been left standing, And the water, which had been only a few inches deep an hour before, now boiled and rushed along muddily, till Har- ry was quite frightened. But one thing remained clearly in his mind —his father had said he must have those nails. So he urged Prinee into the creek, and slipping and 'eliding, the steady old horse went through. The water came so high that Harry had to draw up his legs, but that was all; and once on the other side, he had a clear road home, He had not gone more than a quarter of a mile, however, when he saw a man galloping toward him and when they neared each other, Harry saw thateit was his father. "Harry I." cried Mr. Willis. "Are you safe?" His face was white, "I think so," said Harry, in a brave voice. "That was an awful storm," said his father. "It blew down the west corn -crib, and we thought the house was going. your mother is almost crazy about you. Did you get to Winthrop,?" "Yes, sir," said Harry. He held out a .damp package. Then all at once a funny feeling came into his throat, and his lips twitched and he burst into tears. Then quickly Mr. Willis jumped off his horse and came and put his arms round the little boy. "Why Harry," he said, "what's the matter? It's all right now." "Yes, sir !" sobbed Harry.

"RISE." His Income of $4,500,000 is Not Considered Excessive for His Majesty. The German Emperor as King of Prussia wants to have his salary raised. At present he receives from the State $650,000 as German Emperor and $3,852,770 as King of Prussia. The last increase, which amounted to $700,000, was made in 1889, in the second year of his reign. In spite of this, however, he is actually getting $1,i50,000 less than the old Kings of Prussia an- nually received. An income exceeding $4,600,000 sum not a despicable at m even for Kaiser William, but those who know say it is not excessive, con- sidering that there are no allow- ances to other members of the Royal Family, and that very little comes from the Royal domains. The Kaiser has several hundred Uniforms, and his tailor's bill runs into pretty tall figures. He has complete uniforms of all the Prus- sian regiments—horse, foot, and ar- tillery—besides the regiments of the lesser States, and those of which he holds honorary rank in foreign countries. Every appoint- ment is perfect, from the shoulder knots, which cost more than the uni- form itself, to jewelled accoutre- ments fit for AN ORIENTAL AUTOCRAT. When he travels it is always in much pomp and ceremony and ac- companied by a large retinue. Hence his official revenue is not enough to keep him. In addition to the up -keep of his fifty-two cas- tles, palaces, and country houses, and innumerable farms and forests, he is expected to maintain the Roy- al theatres at Berlin, Hanover, and Cassel, and must also foot the bills for the Royal concerts. The Kaiser is very lucky, how- ever, in the way of legacies from wealthy subjects. Only a few years ago Herr Wilhelm Hildebrand left him an estate worth $375,000 and $750,000 in hard cash; a gift match- ed by that of a West Prussian land- endoenantaineialetitianovestoraneraMorootoPerazetwodaerodareetemee ISStlE N0. 4O—OSx owner, who gave him a 5,000 -acre estate as an earnest of greater pos- sessions to come at the donor's death. Then there was the $500,000 bestowed upon him by Baroness Oppenheim -Cohn, and the $2,500,- 000 placed at his disposal by Herr Honekol von Donnermareh in 1905. "To him that hath shall be given." 'With reference to the Kaiser's demand for increased pay, it may be 'mentioned that Kiug Edward gets $2,350,000 for his own use, while each member of the British Royal Family receives various grants which exceed $500,000 per annum. Besides his official salary King Edward has A LARGE PRIVATE PURSE. The Kaiser is by no means the best -paid monarch in.Europe. The Emperor of Austria outdistances him with his salary of $4,700,000, which sum is derived from the two portions of his monarchy. The best -paid monarch in Europe is the Czar' of Russia. The State Treasury pays out $7,500,000 per annum for the needs of the Imper- ial House. In addition the reign- ing Empress and the Dowager Em- press each have an allowance of $100,000 a year. Every child born to the Czar receives from birth to the age of twenty-one nearly $20,000 a year, while the heir to the throne recetb'vee annually, in addition to maintenance of palaces, $50,000. Daughters receive a dowry of $500,- 000 when they marry. Contrasted with these generous grants the salaries of rulers of smaller countries seem beggarly in proportion. The King of Italy has $3,200,000 a year, but the King of Greece only receives $20,000. This sum is so inadequate to keep up his position that Great Britain, France and Russia each pay him $20,000 a year. The French Presi- dent has a salary and allowance of $240,000, whilst the President of the United States has to make both ends meet on $50,000. And yet, with all their enormous in- comes, some of these great poten- tiaries of the earth are not half so happy as many a plan with $300 a year.—London Tit -Bits. DELICATE CHILDREN MADE WELL AND STRONG The little ones are frail. Their hold upon life is slight. At the very , first symptoms of trouble Baby's Own Tablets should be giv- en. This medicine cures colic, sour stomach, indigestion, diar- rhoea, constipation, teething trou- bles and other minor ailments. It is equally good for the new born babe as the well grown child. Mo- thers have the guarantee of a gov- ernment analyst that this medicine contains no opiate or poisonous soothing stuff.

Hamrlik, Man., Nov. 30 (Special) —Probably there is no disease to which man is heir that causes such a general dread as Gravel, or Stone in the Bladder. The frightful pains it brings and the terrible operations it necessitates causes a shudder of apprehension whenever it is men- tioned. But there is really no rea- son why any man or woman should fear Gravel. It is purely and simply a Kidney disease, and as such can be either cured or guard- ed against by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Take the case of Mr. Calvin It. Snyder, well known here. He says :— "In the spring of 1907 I was al- most laid up from a lame back and was also troubled with excessive urination. I got a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and used them with satisfactory results. Docld's Kid- ney Pills are the best Kidney me- dicine I ever heard of." If you follow Mr. Snyder's ex- ample and use Dodd's Kidney Pills for slight urinary disorders, you will never be -troubled with Gravel. If you have Gravel, Dodd's Kid- ney Pills will cure it. , 3�— THE CHART DIDN'T SHOW IT. There is no occasion which pre- sents such terrible advantage to the practical joker as that of a sea voyage, and there is none on which his jocosities become more unbear- able. The following incident em- bodies one of his most ambitious efforts. When we were in the middle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the nearest coast was 200 miles away, a Yankee quietly remarked :— "Wal, I guess we are quite close to land now. It ain't more'n three- quarters of a mile away, nohow." Personally we took no interest in facts of this nature, and were con- tent to sit and believe, but many ex- cited travellers dashed out of the smoking -room to have a look at the long -hoped-for continent. They presently came back in the worst of tempers, saying that the charts and all other authorities declared the land to be at least 200 miles away, and that there was certain- ly none in sight. "Wal, I didn't say the shore" returned the champion joker. t'I guess there's land right under us, not three-quarters of a mile away." A Requisitefor the Rancher.— On the cattle ranges of the West, where men and- stack are far from doctors and apothecaries, Dr. Tho- mas' Eclectric Oil is kept on hand by the intelligent as a ready made medicine, not only for many human ills, but as a horse and cattle medi- cine of surpassing merit. A horse and cattle rancher will find matters greatly simplified by using this Oil. "Yes," remarked Mrs. Malaprop - Partington, "we had a lovely time in Venice. There are no cabs there, you know, because the streets are all full of water. One hires a chan- delier and he rows you about in a dongola." RECOGNIZED HIM. Blinks, after inviting his friend Jinks, who has just returned from abroad, to dinner, is telling him what a fine inemory his little son Bobby has. "And do you suppose he will re- member mel" said Jinks. "Remember you Why, be re. members every face that he ever saw.," An hour later they enter the house, and after Jinks has shaken hands with Mrs, Blinks. he calls Bobby over to him. "And do you remember ase, my little man?" "O urso do, `t'ou'rs the same feller that pa brought home last summer, and ma was so wild about it that she didn't speak to pa for a whole week."

Never before has the struggle for social and commercial success boon so keen as in our own day, and to the victor and the vanquished alike comes a time when nerves and body cry for rest. Nature and science have combined to produce an envir., onment where tired men and wo- men may renew their youth. On the main line of the Grand Trunk Railway System, at St. Catharines, Ontario, is situated "The Wel- land," where the ills of life are al- leviated by bathing in the Salina Springs of the `St, Catharines Well," under proper medical su- pervision and attendance.

In Nature's Storehouse There are Cures.—Medical experiments have shown conclusively that there are medicinal virtues in even ordinary plants growing up around us which give them a value that cannot be estimated. It is held by some that Nature provides a cure for every disease which neglect and ignorance have visited upon man. However, this may be, it is well known that Parmelee's Vegetable Pills, distill- ed from roots and herbs, are a sov- ereign remedy in curing all disor- ders of the digestion. Every time a man refuses to hear what we have to say, we aro usu- ally conceited enough to declare that he "won't listen to reason." No Reasonable Man expects to euro a neglected told in a day. But time and Allen's Lung Balsam frill overcome the cold and stave off consumption. Cough will team and lungs be sound as a new dollar. Our idea of a sane man is one who can be in love without acting foolish. There are two kinds of small boys—bad boys and sick ones. Often what appear to be the most trivial occurrences of life prove to be the most momentous. Many are disposed to regard a cold as a slight thing, deserving of little _consider- ation, and this neglect often re- sults in most serious ailments en- tailing years of suffering.

Punctuation by means of stops and points, so as to indicate the moaning of sentences and assist the reader to a proper enunciation, is ascribed originally to Aristophanos, a grammarian of .Alexandria, Egypt, who lived in the third century B.C. Whatever his system may have boon, it was subsequently neglect- ed and forgotten, but was reintro- duced by Charlemange, the various stops and symbols being deaignod by Warnefried and Alcuin. Tho present system of punctuation was introduced in the latter part of the fifteenth century by Aldus Manutius, a Venetian printer, who was responsible for our full stop, colon, semicolon, comma, marks of interrogation and exclamation, par- enthis and dash, hyphen, apos- trophe and quotation marks. These were. subsequently copied by other printers, until their use be- came universal. Most ancient languages were in-, nocent of any system of punctua- tion. In many early manuscripts the letters are placed at equal dis tances apart, with no connecting link between, even in the matter of spacing, an arrangement which' must have rendered reading at sight. somewhat difficult. — r A Cure for Costiveness,—Costive- ness comes from the refusal of the excretory organs to perform their duties regularly from contributing usually disordered digestion. Parmelee's Vegetable Pills, prepar- causes I ed on scientifis principles, are so compounded that certain iigredi-! ants in them pass through the sto- mach and act upon the bowels so as. to remove their torpor and arouse! them to proper action. Many thou- sands aro prepared to bear testi- mony to their power in this respect. Guest—"Waiter, take back this beef -steak.
