I tried dog - tors and many remedies withouu',,kt getting any relief until one cit my friends advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I felt re- lieved from the first box and six boxes completely cured me. cannot thank you enough fir the new lease of life- and. com- fort your Dodd's Kidney Pills has given me. A. MCGREGORY; Cornwall, Ont. Todd's Kidney Pills Always cure Urinary Troubles a doctor, a writer, or whatever *lee she has a talent or fancy' for. She ought even, I think, to have the franchise, since every- body who pays taxes should have a vote in saying how these taxes are to be spent. But while this is so, t think that duties are far above rights, and the stress should be laid there. The new woman, however, ;sees things differently, and is terribly concerned about her rights, and I hope she may get them. 11en have tried to get their rights for a long while now and they have not got them fully yet ; and even, those who have; got them are apparently little the better 'of them ; the lesson being, look to'your duties, for they are the highest thing you have to do with. As to the old woman, I may say that I have met her often enough, for by the old woman I don't mean a woman who ie old, but a perssn, male oi female, who is nar- row, censorious, and desperately afraid of what the public will say.-- The old womah lives, moves and hal her being in the rules of propriety. Her gospel is the gospel a cording to Etiquette. She never g�Ceatl�y loved anybody ; she only loves people to a certain extent. The old woman never laughs ; she only smiles. She thinkie it is vulva, to laugh, aid that everything you do should be measured with a tape line, Fro that it may be neither too much not, too ''little. The old woman, I daresay, is good enough in her way, but that way is a very small way. In fact, she is hardly to be called good, but rather goody. • And I heartily agree with Stowell Brown, of Liverpool, when he said that Christians, when they put off the old man, should put off the did wo- man too. My' idea of the whole Matter, then, is that men should be men, anal wo- men should be women, and that they should not seek to be like one another, but remain as God has made them. -Rev.

Hie menagerie was quite extensive, some large Beare, well trained, being the principal attraction. Two of these, Judas .Iscariot and Henry Ward Beecher were his especial pets. He had a rough oonoert room, floor covered with sawdust, which, as the entire Audience were eating tobacco, was -soon a floating; mass, and the grand finale was let- ting the bears loose with the dogs after them, and a general stampede out on to the street. . One day Mr. Hammond, a travelling evangelist had held a short service in the house, and Y. M. C. A. and like others got an equal show and saw the bears, etc. He said, " Well, Joe, have you got anything else to show me ?" " Yes, I have one thing more";" and open- ing a cupboard behind the -bar there ap- peared the full size skeleton of a man. Mr. Hammond in surprise, asked, " Who is that, Joh 't" '1 That," said Joe, " is the skeleton of the'last Evangelist who visited Montreal. When they had the, great strike. -on the Lachine Canal, Joe fed more poor- unem- ployed than the combined charities of Montreal.: He was a large contributor to the Montreal General Hospital. 'He` did not harbor criminals, but he never refused a man food and i:eer and shelter simply be- cause he was a criminal, if he was in dire distress. He had a heart as big as his can- teen, and was good- to the degraded poor always. The good people said Joe was a bad man. Well, as our Hinky Dink would say, "that's no lie." Thstis to say, he might have . been better without hurting, and he certain- ly did not bear any outward mark of the elect. But we would sooner take our chances with Joe at the great squaring up of accounts than with some of the " whited sepulchres " • who say long prayers, go to church twice on Sundays, give to a popular charity as they would to a fashionable ball, but never in all -their lives, gave themselves with their gifts. Poor old Joe ! The best friend could not call thee blessed, but after the cleansing fires of purgatory may thou be released from ;thy pains. B. M. • Goldwin Smith on Mr. Bryan. This is what Mr. Goldwin Smith has to) say about the lecture of Mr. Bryan in Tot ronto a few evening ago : " Mr. Bryan's reputation, combined with the influence of the Knights of Pythias, was share to bring him a full house. As a serie‘ of platform hits, pointed stories and meta' phors cleverly employed to veil. the lack ojr weakness of arguments, his lecture was decided success and greatly delighted ;a large audience. As a proof that we ca'n have two standards of value as well ds we can have two standards of length, weight or liquid measure,_- the lecture was bound to fail. Equally ineffective was it as an attempt to prove that legislation can fix the ratio of value betweentwo articles when the ratio of their production is liable, as Mr. Bryan is obliged to confess, to indefinite variations. There was the,usual mystifica- tion about the nature of a dollar which every unmystified person knows very well is a certainFweight of the metal adopted by all the great commercial communities of the world as a standard of value. Mr. Bryan' reached his real point and became practical when he avowed hie intention of compelling the creditor to take payment in silver. His pretext for this is that the creditor, b* al- ways choosing payment in %old, would; de. range the bimetallic system. Why should the creditor, by always choosing to be paid, in gold, derange the bimetallic system ;any more than the debtor would derange it by always choosing to pay in silver ? Besides, if the gold and silver are of equal value, as Mr. Bryan contends that, under his legisla- tion, they would be, why should the credit- or always choose to be paid in gold ? ! Mr.- Bryan r.-Bryan must surely be aware that the silver is base. money ; that what he advocat(ls is partial repudiation, and that it is to the impecunious debtor that he appeals. But j. even the impecunious debtor will find, if he -- is at all capable of reflection, that in a 'com- mercial com•mercial and industrial community every- body is creditor as well as debtor, and] that" if he is enabled to pay off his mortgage inj base money he will have to take base ;money for his labor or his grain, while by thede- struction of credit and the demoraliation of the market the whole community wit suffer enormous loss. Mr. Bryan may sin cerely intend to confer upon his species all the blessings whichehis peroration held out: But this mode of conferring those blessings unmistakably is repudiation. • • ° a eye ie snide.

The other day, writes a correspondent, 1 was told a story about the new Archbishop of Canterbury which I have not yet seen in print. As my informant was a clergyman, it must, of course, be true. A certain youuthtul:eurate was taken to-., task by his Lordship for reading the lessons or the ser- vice -in anjinaudible tone. Whereupon the yo ng ma replied : " I -Om surprised that yoit. shout! find fault ,with' i iy;reading, as a tri nd of thine in the son re anion told me th t I was beautifully heard.

BEEF, SKETCH OF MONTREAL'S FAMOUS The most celebrated cbaracter in Mon- -treal some years ago was Joe Beef, and the one to whose 4 I canteen," as he. called his saloon, most strangers resorted in order to see the sights contained therein, and to be- came saquianted [with his own unique per- sonality. His canteen was on the river front, nearly opposite the Allan's% sheds, and was a large rambling building capable of holding a great many people, and was the trysting place of vicinity. Joe had been a sergeant in the Rival Artillery, and had retired in the full odor of sanctity with many badges and mesials. His sobriquet was obtained from the fact that he never returned to camp from a for:- agiag expedition without something to show for it, At least this is as we remember being told it by a brother sergeant in the same brigade, the late George Chapman, messenger of the Bank of Toronto, in Mon- treal, as worthy and honest and sturdy an old Irish Orangenaan as earer strode in the streets of that metropolis. Eccentricity and generosity were Joe's leading characteristics. He was a big bluff, swearing, roystering Irishman, .and could always be found. behind his bar in his shirt sleeves, with arms bare up to tile elbows. Women, Netv and Old. I may honestly say that I like all kinds of women except two -and those two are the new woman and the old woman. The new woman, according to my definition of her, is a woman trying to be a man- ; while the old wernah is for the most part a man trying to be a woman. And for neither of these personages have I much sympathy or re- spect. I confess I have never met with a full- blown specimen of the new woman, and that for the sufficient reason that I keep out of her way as much as possible. I have, how- ever, seen her at a distance, and read some of her books, and i have made up my mind definitely that I don't like her. I love her, of course, as I am bound to love ever/body ; but I don't like her, arid I think you will understand the difference between the two. The new woman is a female human being who smokes cigarettes, wears tailor-made clothes, uses vehement language, and insists. on her rights everywhere. Now, it is true that every one should have his rights ; and a woman has as good & right as a ulan be • t News Notes. 4:tOn 'Wednesday of last week,Mrs. Agnes in widow of the late Robert Bain, who ides with her son, John Bain, concession Fullerton, received a stroke of paralysis t completely prostrated her, It render - e her sprechless and 7,deprived her alto- th g heruf the Mee of her faculties.

The out- put of gold in propartion to the growth Of population has been showed to have irareas- ed.

The Australians, having been plagued with rabbits for a generation, are now try- ing to turn the plague to a profit. A cargo of 96,000 rabbits, frozen, was despatched to London a little more than a month ago. The prospect thus held out of t urning rabbits into cash stimulated the owners and holders of land to great exertions and now the rodents are arriving in Melbeurne at the rate of from 10,000 to 12,000 a day. It is easier, however, to get them to the cities than to get them shipped, and there is al- ready far more bulk of rabbits in Melbourne than there are vessels withs refrigerating chambers to take them away.' Should the trade eucceedamother blow will be dealt at the poor staggering British landed interest ; for it uoes without saying that Australian rabbits will sell at a rate with which the owners of British warrens will be unable to compete: But dead rabbit is a difficult thing to keep in condition, and there. are few more dangerous forms of food than rabbits out of condition. • Miami, Manitoba.
