Consumption is a disease which destroys the tissue of the lungs. Once gone, no medicine can replace that tissue. Good medicine may arrest the disease even after one lung is wholly gone, as lenges the other remains sound. Once both are attacked, however, the victim is doomed. Just why people should risk their lives to this dread disease and go to great expense afterwards to check it, itis hard to conceive. It is much easier prevented than cured. Throat troubles and severe colds are its usual forerunners. A 25 -cent bottle of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine will drive these aWay. It is, without doubt, the best medicine for the t purpose to be had anywhere. nan••••••••1 Site Nunn txpeitor.

Sugar -Making Twenty Year Ago. J. H. PUTMAN. Twenty years ago Farmer Hall, who lived in Southern Ontario, tappeil abeut two hundred maple trees. The work was mostly done by the farmer and his man. Holes were bored in the trees, spouts put in the holes'and the buckets put under the spouts. The sap was gathered into a large barrel placed on a Bled, and this sled was drawn through the sugar -wood by a steady old horse. A boiling place was made by hanging two great iron kettles from a stout pole. This pole was held up by two crotched sticks fixed each against a tree. Great piles of dry wood were gathered and piled near the kettles. Close to the boiling place a house was made by fastening four poles to four trees, and covering the poles with pine boughs. The sides of the house were formed by placing upright sticks against the four poles that supported the roof, and piling pine branches against the sides. This made a warm room where the barrels of sap were kept. Places were also arranged in this shanty for sap -pails, dippers, and cloths for washing kettles. Three old kitchen chairs completed the furniture. Here Farmer , Hall could sit in unpleas- ant weather and watch the boiling kettles. Often a neighbor would drop in to have a talk, and perhaps take a drink of sap or of warm syrup. No one, however, enjoyed a visit to this sugar house im much as Tom and Kate, the children of Farmer Hall. To them it was a kind of fairlygoalace, and the whole opera- tion of sugar -making was an event to be 'remetabered and talked about from one year to -another. There was one serious draw - bank to their perfect happiness, and that was the school house. Farmer Hall Was very particular that Tom and Kate should visit this same little school house twice a day and five days in the vreek. But just as soon as they came from school they Were off to the woods, and what jolly times they had -on Saturdays A whole day to wander about from tree to tree, gathering sap, piling wood on the fire, dipping the syrup from kettle toikettle, watching red squirrels and chipmunks, and jistening to the taps tap of the woodpeker or the ‘1 tweet," "tweet," of the chickadee! One day in April, when the sugar season was almost over, Farmer Hall came into the house with a troubled look on his face. The sap buckets ,were nearly full. The seeding had begun, and neither the farmer nor his man could possibly. leave their work in the field to boil sap. The season was so busy that it would be of no use to try to get help and the sap would sour unless boiled very Bohn. All at once Tom had an idea. Why couldn't he and Kate boil sap? They were !certain that they were quite familiar with every part of the operation, and could do it tits well as their father. Finally it: wee all larranged. The farmer and his man were to gather the sap that night and the next day Torn and Kate were to stay home from echool and boil it down. The children were as much excited that night as though it were Christmas eye, and the next morning were up much earlier -then usual. In such a hurry were they to begin work that they ate little or no break- fast, and were soon on their way to the woods, with a very heavy lunch basket. The kettles were soon filled and the fires started. How proud the children were of their work and its importance ! How they wished that some one might come along and see what theywere doing !. They 'heard the school bell ring at nine o'clock and won- dered very mudh what their schoolmates would think of their absence. About eleven O'clock Tom judged from the sun and from a peculiar feeling inside his jacket that it must be noon. The lunch basket was brought out. Sandwiches'hard boiled eggs, doughnuts and apples ! What a dinner they had and what appetites! While they were eating the kettles had to be watched, fresh wood piled on the fire,and a general watch kept up over the sugar camp. But all this only increased their appe- tites and gave them an opportunity to talk and eat. As the afternoon wore away they had to give more and more attention to the large kettle that held the syrup. When the syrup begins to thicken it will have a white frothy look and rise higher and higher in the kettle until it comes to the top; Unless something were done to stop it, the syrup would now run over the sides of the kettle into the fire. Tom and Kate understood all about this. They were provided with a piece of fat meat tied to a stick, and when the syrup would rise to the top of the ket- tle they would let the fat into the syrup and immediately the froth would go down. The oil from the fat spreads itself over the top of the syrup and makes it behave it- self. By six o'clock the syrup wast oiled down to about four gallons and 'Farmer Hall came to help the children carry it to the'house. It had been agreed that as this was the last 'sap -run' of the season, the children should have the syrup to " sugar -off," and this " sugaring off was to be done at night under their mother's direction. After supper the syrup was placed on the stove in two kettles, and when it began to boil was thoroughly cleared with white - of -egg. The white of an egg was put into the boiling syrup, and this caused any im- purities that had not been removed from the sap to rise to the surface in the form of scum. This scum was removed and nothing but pure syrup was left. And now came the exciting part of the day's work. The thick syrup would rise to top of the kettle, and -then break in little bubbles and slowly settle in the kettle again. When the proper time came the kettles were taken from the stove and the sugar stirred, for you must know that if maple sugar is to be nicely grained it must be continually stirred while cooling. The children were allowed to help with this op- eration, but it made their arms ache. When the sugar was sufficiently cooled Tom and Kate made it into cakes by put- ting it into cups or bowls and leaving it to harden. The cakes of sugar were for their schoolmates and for some cousins who lived in town. All of their young friends were remem- bered, and one cousin, who was very fond of playing tricks on others, had special reason to remember his sugar cake. Tom put a little soft sugar in a cop. He then put in a hard-boiled egg and filled around the egg with more soft sugar. When this hardened he had a fine looking cake of sugar for his cousin, who found when he came to eat it that it really was an Easter sugar -cake. - Educational Jestrnal. • A CRIPPLE FOR LIFE. SO DOCTORS SAID CONCERNING RICHARD B. COLLINS. He spent Months in fle Toronto Hospita Without hay Benefit -Pink Pills Cure Him after all Other Treatment Failed. From the Echo, Wiarton, Ontario. The Echo presents to its readers the fol- lowing plain statement of fact, with the simple comment that a medicine that can perform so remarkable a cure is simply in- valuable, and it is no wonder that the ag- gregate of its sales throughout the ctountry is enormous. I, Richard B. Collins, hereby make the following statement, which can be con- firmed by any number of witnesses in this section of the country. I first began to complain about five years ago. I had then been working in a fish shanty, and was wet almost the whole time, summer and winter. I was then confined to the house for three months. This was my first attack and on getting better I commenced work again the first of the following February and con- tinued at it until the next January when I took a much worse attack. The doctors pronounced it rheumatism and after treat- ing me for that disease until about the first of May, they discovered that my trouble was disease of the hip joint, and advised to go to an hospital. I went to Toronto and stayed in the hospital five weeks and then returned home. I, however, did not re- cover, and was compelled during the follow- ing summer to go back to the hospital where I remained three months, getting worse all the time. I was told I could not be cured and when I left was only able to walk by the aid of crutches. I then came home, and was not there lonae'before I was taken to my bed. I continued in this state until January following, when I was advised by several friends to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I took their advice and before I had finished the fifth box I began to improve, and by the time I had Icompleted a dozen boxes I was able to walk without crutches, and have never uiled them since. I Was able to do light worliin a short time, and in January last (1897) I commencing working in the woods 4s4 have no trouble from the hip unless ov r - exerted. During the last three years I have spent $300 in doctor's bills, and medi- cines* trying everything recommended, but without any good results until I took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills„ to which I owe my restored condition, as the doctors gave up all hopes Of ever seeing me out of bed alive and well. I may say that before I began taking Pink Pills during my last attack, I put in many a night so bad that I never expected to be alive in the morning." Rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, partial paralysis; -locomotor ataxia, nervous liead- ache, nervous prostration and diseases de- pending upon humors in the blood, such as scrofula chronic erysipelas, etc., all disap- pear before a fair treatment with Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. They give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions and build up and renew the entire system. Sold by all dealers and post paid at 50c. a box or slit boxes for $2.50,by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Out. Do not be persuaded to take some substitute. Curiosities of the Bible. 1. The following Bible curosities are said to have been gained by the -study of the good book by the Prince of Granada, heir appar- ent to the Spanish throne, during his thirty- three years' inprisonnaent at the Place of Skulls' Prison, Madrid : In the Bible the word Lord is found 1,853 times; the word Jehoviah,6,855 times ; and the word -reverence but once,and that in the ninth verse of the One Hundred and Eleventh Psalm, The eighth verse of the One Hundred and "Eleventh Psalm is the middle verse of the Bible. The ninth verse of the eighth chapter of Esther is the long- est verse. The thirty-fifth verse of the eleventh chapter of St. John is the shortest. In the One Hundred and Seventh Psalm four verses'are alike-theeighth, fifteenth, twenty-first and thirty-first. Each verse of the One Hundred and Thirty-sixth Psalm ends alike. No names or words with more than six syllables are found in the Bible. The thirty-seventh chapter of Isaiah, and the nineteenth chapter of 2nd Kings are alike. The word girl occurs but once in the Bible, and that in the third verse and third chanter of Joel. There are found in both bhofis of the Bible 3,586,483 letters, 783,693 words, 31,373 verses,1,189 chapters, and 66 books. The twenty-sixth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles is the finest chap- ter to read. The most beautiful chapter in the Bible is the Twenty-third Psalm. The four most inspiring promises are John 4: 2; John 6: 37 ; Matthew 11: 28 ; and Psalms 37 : 4. The first verse of the sixtieth chapter of Isaiah is the one for the new converts. All who flatter themselves with' vain boastings of their perfection should learn the sixth chapter of Matthew. All humanity should learn the sixth chapter of St. Luke from the twentieth verse.- to its ending. • Canadian Horses in England. London Sportsman: Yesterday was a busy day at Messrs. Pritchard & Moore Brothers' repository in Lamb's, Conduit street, considerably over 200 Canadian horses of various descriptions coming under the hammer. In addition to the usual run of heavy draught, 'bus and van horses, the catalogue included a lot of about 40 harness animals of superior quality, sent over as an initial venture by Col. F. W. Dickey. Taking them all round these last were a good-looking, nice -actioned lot, standing on good legs and fest. Some of them, not having quite recovered from the effects of the voyage, were not disposed of, but a good number changed hands, the highest figures being 70 guineas for a nice chestnut six-year-old gelding, and 60 guineas for a five-year-old bay, while a symmetrical short -legged chestnut was dirt cheap at 56 guineas. Altogether 18 of them averaged 45 guineas apiece. Amongst the heavier' classes half a score of animals sent over by Mr. Kimball), sold at prices ranging from 24 guineas to 34 guineas, nine of Mr. Hark - mass' realized from 20 guineas to 38 guineas, and ten of Mr. Hillson's 21 guineas to 31 guineas. Mr. Sherman had a large consign- ment, of which several changed owners at 28 guineas, others going at 26 guineas, 25 guineas, down to 20 guineas, while of Mr.J. Lowry's contingent ten were sold at from 20 guineas to 28 guineas. Twenty-six of Messrs. Hay & Kidd's big lot averaged from 20 guipeas to 55 guineas, several attaining the 50 guinea mark, and of Messrs. Myers & Houseman's detachment a baker's dozen went at prices ranging between 23 guineas and 35 guineas. News Notes. -Rev. G. R.
