The physical existence of mankind is something like an account in a ledger. Health on one side --dis- ease on the other. All the pure air, good food, ra- tional exercise and sound sleep go on one side of the account. It stuns up health and strength. On the other side, are bad air, poor food, overwork and worry. That foots up weakness and disease. When your appetite or sleep is disturbed; when the stomach and liver are not work- ing properity, or the bowels are not in regu- lar condition; you are losing vitality and strength; figures are going down on the wrong side of the ledger. Unless this is stopped and the other side of the accoun is built up, you'll soon be a physical bankrupt. . The most profitable account a sick man can open in his Ledger of Life is with Dr. Pierce's Golden MedicalDiscovery,a • wonderful and scientifici tonic which m - parts a direct and healthy stimulus to 'tie 'entire nutritive organism. It strengthens the digestive fluids and the liver, and en- ables the blood -making organs to produce pure, red, highly -vitalized blood. i It s not a mere temporary exhilarator. It feeds the constitution with genuine, per- manent power. It writes big, round sums on the health side of the account, and wipes out the figures of weakness and dis- ease. It animates the vital forces and builds up healthy flesh, muscular energy and nerve -force. - For -nearly 30 years Dr. Pierce has been chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. His formulas are everywhere recog- nized as the most effective remedies in the world. His "Pleasant Pellets" are the most perfect and scientific cure for consti- pation ever invented. They are not violent in their action, but perfectly sure, and at the same time comfortable. Their great reputation has called out a score of 'mi. tations which druggists sometimes try to substitute, but there is nothing "just As good." ) Dr. John McGinnis, Hon, Graduate London Western University, member - of Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Continued. • And then quite suddenly an event of great importance occurred. Mrs. Eversley ap- peared at Byrams, most unexpectedly. Her last visit had been when Rita was fourteen -not then in any degree the beautiful girl she was now. -Mrs. Everaley had been abroad since then, contenting herself with occasional letters to her daughter. Rita WRS on her way back from school. It was a February day, clear and cool. The wind had brought a soft color to her cheeks under her broad brimmed hat; the masses of her richly tinted hair seemed to have caught the wintry sunbeams; she was look- ing absolutely lovely as she entered the lit- tle parlor, and her mother actually scream- ed with surprise. Mrs. Eversley was a woman past fifty, yet retaining an air of youthful good looks which she consideied -added to perfect taste in dress -an equivalent for actual beauty and twenty years of age. Her pure- ly mercenary marriage wasentirelycharac- teristic. The same impulse which led to her doing that governed every action - governed her now in insisting upon a visit from the daughter she considered a rara avis -one bound to add to the social distinc- tion which Mrs. Eversley flattered herself sfie possessed. And so, as usual, the mother carried her point. Indeed, who could resist her author- ity? It was Jered Hopkins who held out the longest. "Don't go, Rita," the young man plaid- ed with her, one February evening, when he walked home with her from church. "It will break your heart, dear, to be with your mother and her kind." "1 must, Jered," the girl answered. "Rita," he said, after a pause, I want to ask you one thing. Could ye -could ye make your mind up to gi.' me some sort o' promise before you go, not to say you'd sw'ar to marry me, but just somethin' -I tould keep up hope on ?" They stood still, looking at each other earnestly, but with such different meanings in the eyes. The man's face was white and anguished. 64 Oh, Jered," she whispered-" dear, dear Jered, don't ask me 1" "Well, I won't, dear -I won't," he said, huskily. "Don't let it weigh on ye." And suddenly and wildly the girl clung to him, and burst into a passion of tears. It was because she knew herself in that moment -knew she had flung away all hope of lov- ing a good and honest man'because she must remember -two summer clays. At Mures, in the Catskills, as in all other fashionable summer hotels, the arrival of the evening train, the stage -coach, and the pas- sengers therein, constitutes an exciting ele- ment in the routine of the day, and the new -comer who passes the gauntlet of that first criticism from a hundred or more eyes, rcakes a fine impression on entering the large hallway and dining -room for the first time, may well be satisfied with his ;or her appearance. How quickly are the jaded, travel -worn, or nervously anxioes passen- gers over -looked 1 how eagerly are signs of "tone" or "style" or even beauty noticed and caught up in such a place and such an hour ! and above all how fortunate are the travellers who, arriving by their own con- veyance, descend leisurely, and care not a whit for any comment that may be made! Such a pai ty arrived one August evening at Murr's, and descended with the active assistance of hotel clerks, waiters and other functionaries, thereby creating quite a flut- ter in the minds of the assemblage on the long wide verandas. throu h them to assure her Mother that all her kind and calibre to be found in the moun- was right. Mrs. Eversley had gone at mum to bed, and when her daughter mine into her room for good -night, she was detained to know it she had seen any familiar names on the hoterregister. No, Rita had not. So the book was sent for, and lying in bed, in a cloud of frills and laces, Mrs. Eversley scanned the pages. Long custom had inured Rita to this pro- cess. She knew her part; it was to listen as the well known names were milled off. "Jay Vanvoort"-Mrs. Eversley gave a little seream-" E. V. Leindter," Donald Macbane," Sturgison." "My dear Rita," said her mother, dos- ing the book, and looking up solemnly at her daughter, "in the first pages three or four of the most eligible young men in New York 1 I call it a special providence 1 Go to bed at once, or you won't be fit to look at to -morrow. Don't forget your scented gloves. Tell Maria to be meat particular With your hair • and, Rita, you remember I engaged Mrs. Peters to chaperon- you when I couldn't go down. I'll breakfast in bed, but you must appear. She will call for yeti. Don't forget you are to wear the eorn mu - lin if it is warm and the white wool if it is cool. White, of course, for a firat appeae- &nee. What a mercy it is I made such a study dress 1" es, mamma," said the girl, stooping down and bestowing a light kiss on the enamelled brow. "Good -night. You know Maria's bed is in the dressing -room." But Mrs. Eversley was already, wrapped in thought, in visions of the morrow. Rita passed through the dressing room, the luxurious parlor, and thence to her own room, where the maid was already unpack- ing her trunks, banging up one after the other of the exquisite costumes prepared for Rittestnew triumphs. I am to wear the ecru mull, Maria," Rita said, looking mechanically at the maid. " Yes, miss,", said the servant, with a sigh of admiration. To her mind Miss Breton was the most beautiful as well as the most fortunate young lady on earth. But it chanced that one of her mother's heart attacks interfered with Rita's first "distinguished" appearance. It was late in the afternoon before Rita dared go beyond instant recall, and she would not thenbave ventured down -stairs had her mother not in- sisted upon it. So Rita was dressed in the dainty muslin -all its laces and frills pulled out, and came to her mother's bedside for a final inspection. Certainly the girl was beautiful._ The hair which in the old days had followed its own way, now was gathered into a coil low upon her neck, yet by the deft fingers of the maid drawn so that it waved back, showing the exquisite contour of her throat and the back of the neck; and on the brow a few locks only were allowed to wave, not marr- ing the pure lines which so many painters bad assured the mother were her daughter's greatest beauty. "But you need color," said Mrs. Eversley from her pillows. "There, give me those roses." Rita obediently lifted from a bowl a huge bunch of Jacques. "There ! Mrs. Peters, with those in her belt the child de- fies criticism 1" Rita slowly made her way down to the public rooms. She was thankful it was an hour when few- people were about, and thought she would enjoy looking about a great American hotel for the first time. So many things had lost their flavor of novelty that she welcomed a really new interest. The long drawing room facing the stairs and bounded on either side by the verandas, seemed almost deserted; but as she ap- proached it some one at the upper end of the room struck a few notes on the piano. Rita moved in as far as one of the pillars which divided in a fashion the lower and upper parts of the room. A girl's voice in shrill tones was saying, "Oh, Mr. Macbane, I really can't sing it ; you sing it; do.

Seafarth. 1512-1d A hop was going on, the band was crash- ing away grandly, the wide hall was full of people, and yet this party attracted pro- found attention -two ladies and two ser- vants only; but the elder lady, although handsome and elegantly dressed, was evi- dently a queruloua invalid, and the younger was the most`beautiful girl, the most dis- tinguished, that Murr's had ever seen. She was tail, and carried herself' with the most perfect, the most indifferent ,,and queenly air ot self-possession. Her dress was of Parisian finish -one of those incomparabk plain cloth travelling costumes conspicuous only in their minor details, fitting exquisite- ly, harmonious from the small toque with its white wing to the blue cloth boots and long-wristed gray gloves; but dress was a secondary matter in noticing this girl. She was, if a trifle coldly, still absolutely beautiful, and a rapid inventory of her charms included magnificent chest- nut hair, gray eyes, a perfect mouth, and finally modelled chin, a carriage of the head, a grace in movement, that every wo- man or girl at Mures might well have imi- tated; and yet even as she etood on the veranda those first moments it was ob- served that she seemed wholly unconscious, or perhaps indifferent to herself, taken up with attending to the older lady's rather capricious wants, directing the servants, nally, as both these appendages seemed out of their wits, going so far as to ap- proach the desk and register the names of the party -Mrs. Eversley, Miss Breton, maid and man -servant. Rita since her Byrum life, had been much abroad and in school, but this was her first experience of an American summer resort. The finest suite of rooms in the house had been secured, and as usual Rita went tains during August. Will you excuse me, Mies Palmer ?" Macbane said, politely; and Miss Palmer nodded, and picking up her music, walked away. Meanwhile Rita had moved over to one of the many windows, where she sat down, wondering how they were to speak. Macbane came over to her joyously. "Rita 1 -Mies Breton 1" he exclaimed. The girl tented; her face orimion with a lovely color that swept it and died away as be spoke. "Where have you been ?" he said, hold- ing out his band. She laid hers gently on it, still regarding him with a soft, quiet, happy gaze. He eat down, and now Rita could find her voice. "1 am very glad to see you," she said. " I have often thought -wondered about you." "And now," said Maobane, "we will have no end of personal history to ex- change." The girl smiled. He longed to say to her that she amazed, almost bewildered him; but he saw at once this was not the little girl of Byrams • this was, as Mime Palmer had said, the 13;autiful .Miss Breton who bad been "the rage." "Mamma and I have been abroad two years," Rita continue, in the same quietly modulated voice. "Mamma is a great in- valid, and her husband, Mr. Eversley, rarely is able to be with her. He is my step- father, and is engaged in mining business West. I have been to Venice," she added, suddenly, with a smile. Macbane thought a moment, and then laughed lightly. "Oh, I wish I had been with you ! Did it rain ?" Rita laughed -almost like her old self. Perhaps because of the slight change, Mao - bane recalled the gleeful note of the girl he had -known. _ " Whereis the ring of your old laugh ?" he asked. "Ab 1" cried Rita, "did I laugh better then? It has been educated away, I am afraid. I have been taught an ideal." " And it is-?" • "Very many things I suppose you in your world would approve of, It is certain- ly ambitiouier "Do you expect to attain it "Emphatically" There was a fine touch of scorn in her voice. "What a pity if all my training should be thrown away 1 Don't you consider me improved ?" • He looked at her long and reflectively. " No," he said, slowly. The young girl said nothing for a moment. "1 have not," she said, simply; "and I' am glad you are frank enough to tell me the truth." "Yet I hear," he said, almost with an- noyance, "you were the rage in London." '1 went out a great deal," she said, quietly. . " I know it all," he exclaimed. "You had attentions here and there and every- where. The Prince admired you ;and you were presented, and visited, and were visit- ed, and-" She liseened to him with a curious look of pain in her eyes. gat-5-di'e0;, "Some people like all that," she said, "and there are men who only care for a girl for just that reason. I used to notice it so often. There were girls in society far better educated, better bred, than Utter to marry any of those men, and I used to feel asham- ed of myself.when men neglected them for me. I think I never could really like any man who could do it." The old fervent, insistent little way had . come back. But very soon, "1 must go back to mamma," Rita said, rising sudden- ly ; " she will need me." "And when shall I see :Vou again ?" He W&8 very much in earnest. "We are coming down to the ball to- night," she answered. "Von dance, of (manta ; will you promise me the first and the third waltz ?" As he spoke a sense of the curious part of their renewed acquaintance struck him, and he laughed. Miss Breton," he said, " is it not odd? We parted in Byrams; and when we meet, I, in the moat conventional man- ner, ask you for a waltz." ghe laughed, yet there was a touch of sad- ness in her tone as she walked away. Mrs. Eversley had determined to appear at the ball, and the process of attiring her in a gorgeous pipit satin was long and tire- some to both Rita and the maid; but she was dressed at last, and then Rita was free to make her own toilet. She had selected something very simple, partly from a desire to be quickly dressed, partly because of a desire not to look so entirely unlike the Rita of old days. The ball was at its height when Mrs. Evereley and the "beautiful Miss Breton" entered the long.room. Such scenes were too farniliar to Rita to cause even a change in her color. There was a buzz of admire ation, an eager following of her movements, a very evident desire to be first to the field; but the girl with her superb manner seemed to see and hear nothing of it. "1 will show you the melody," said her companion. The man's back was turned to- wards Rita, who had felt on the sound of his voice rooted to where she stood. The girl at the piano moved, he sat down, and then arose the song which had haunted the girl for all those years. He sang, not turn- ing his eyes toward the spot to which she was riveted until he came to the last verse, the last line, "Thera in the star shine, Alice. I know art thou." and as, if by some common impulse both be and she moved, looked up, and their eyes met. He had thought so many times of ber,and where and when he would see her again. He had carried in his mind always a picture of the light-hearted, gentle, beautiful girl sitting in the bower where her rude sub- jects had crowned her; of the girl lifting tenderly compassionate eyes to his face; of the girl whom he had deceived. He had thought once and again, wondering how it would be, how soon; but it is always the ordinary part that fate plays which sur- prises us. Their eyes met; the whole soul of the girl, in spite of herself, had rushed with joy into hers. For that one instant of per- fect happiness in again behohling him doubts, misgivings' all that had assailed her first belief in him, vanished. She knew that the name he had given her at Byrams was not his own, but she had told herself a thousand times that when they met this could be explained. When they met! How often in her loneliest, saddest hours had not the girl said this within her heart, dreading yet longing for the moment ! and, as we all do, even when we are playing the last act in our tragedies, he encountered that moment with a feeling that time had in reality been as nothing. Again she felt herself the Rita whom he had smiled upon so long ago. But Macbane was fairly startled with what he saw. Could it be that queenly, beautiful girl atanding there was the child he had known? It was perhaps fortunate for them both that the young lady for whom he had been singing spoke. "That is the beautiful Miss Breton," she whispered, moving her lips so as to articul- ate very distinctly. "She was all the rage in London last year; don't you remember hearing of her ?' " Yes," said Macbane. " We are old friends." '"Oh !" The girl at the piano moved back with a little start, half admiration, half pique. She was a pretty, brown -eyed little thing in a garden hat -one of the many? of Actors, Singers, Speakers M Thousands of actors, public entertainers, singers, lectur- ers, preachers and readers are tormented with throat weakness.

FREQUENTLY BRINGS ITS VICTIM TO THE VERGE OF INSANITY. IIMOMMI*IMMED The Case of a Young Lady in Smith's Falls who Suffered Severely -Given up by Two Dootors-Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have Restored her Health. From the Smith's Falls News. Marc cases have been reported of how invalids who had suffered for years and Whose case bad been given up by the attend -- big physician, have been restored to health and vigor through that now world -famed medicine, Dr. William& Pink Pills, but we doubt if there is one more startling or more convincing than that of Miss Elizabeth Minsbult, who resides- with her brother,Mrs. Thos. Minshull, of this town, an employee in Frog & Wood's Agricultural Works. The News heard of this remarkable ease, and meeting Mr. Minshull asked him if the story was correct, *He replied: "Alt I know is that my sister had been given up as i incurable by two physicians. She s now well enough to do any kind of housework and can go and come as she pleases, and this change has it is my honest conviction, been brought about by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr; Minshull tnen related the following story to the News: " My sister is twenty year of age. She came to Can- ada from England about ten years ago, and resided with a Baptist minister, Rev. Mr. Cody, at Sorel, Que. In April of 1896 she took 111 and gradually grew worse. She was under a local physician's care for over five months. The doctor said that she :was suffering fromi a complication of nervous diseases, and that he oould do little for her. The minister with whom she lived then wrote me of my sister's state of health, and I had her come to Smith's Falls, in the hope that a change and rest would do her good. When she arrived here she was 'in , a very weak state, and a local physician was called in to see her. He attended her for some time, but with poor results, and finally acknowledged that the case was one which he emit.' do very little for. My sis- ter had by this time become a pitiabte ob- ject; the slightest noise would disturb her and the slightest exertion would almost make her insane. It required someone to be with her at all times, and often after a fit of extreme nervousness she would be- come unconscious and remain in that state for hours. When I went home I had to take my boots off at the door -step so as not to disturb her. When the doctor told me he could nothing for her, I consulted with my wife. who had great faith in Dr. Williams Pink Pills, as she knew wonder - of sev- eral cases where they had worke ful cures, and I concluded it would do no harm to try them anyway,and mentioned the fact to the doctor. The doctor did not op- pose their use, but said he thought they might do her good, as they were:certainly a good medicine. In September of last year _she began to use the pills and be- fore two boxes had been used she began to show signs of improvement. She has continued their use since and is to -day a living testimony of the curative - power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Mr. Minshull has no hesitation in sounding the praises of a remedy that has worked such a change in the health of his sister and cheerfully gave the "News" the above particulars, and when asked to do so most willingly signed the following declaration: SMITH'S FALLS, September Ilth, 1897. I hereby make declaration that the state- ments in above as to the condition of my Sister, and the benefit she received fro the use Of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are bso- lutely correct. Trios. MINSHULL. Witness, J. H. Bos:. Illegible Handwriting.. in Letters. Yet during that moment she was striving to think what were the changes in Mao - bane since she had seen hiin last. He was older -finer some way in his expression. If some of the old boyishness was gone, the quiet reflection of his dark eyes whichhad come instead was better. The outline of his face was perhaps thinner, but the same curve to the mouth and chin, the same sud- den gleam in his eyes as he spoke, the rich quiet tones of his voice, the indescribable fascination of his manner -these, these all remained, and with a joyousness the girl claimed them as her own, her faithful memories of him and that briefly happy time. It was hard to keep her eyes from moving about the room in search of him,and at last and quite suddenly they met his gaze. He was in the doorway, almost fac- ing them, leaning against the side, and quietly watching her. If he had seemed re- luctant to join her, it was because he was thoroughly enjoying this quiet although dis- tant survey of her face and figure. Half a dozen men were asking her to dance. Mrs. Eversley had begun to feel impatient over her daughter's silence, when Macbane sauntered over, and first offered his hand to the old lady, whom he had known years ago in Paris. "My daughter, Miss Breton," said the mother, proudly. "Rita, Mr. Donald Mac - bane." The girl started. It was the first time she had heard his name. " May I havethis waltz, Miss Breton ?" he said, with the air of their having just met. "So you never told your , mother ?" he said, when they had taken' one turn. Rita only shook her head. Let us sit down a little while,". Meehan° urged, lead- ing her out on the veranda. "These balls are terrible bores. There 1 put yourself in that chair. Are you cold ?" The night was oppressively warm, but Macbane in- ,sisted upon her having a light wrap, and went to fetch it., It seemed as though he had only just departed when, from the curve of the porch, Rita caughtthe sound of voices, and was startled by hearing Mac - bane's name. "Oh, Macbane has settled down," the speaker was saying; "but, by Jove 1 he used to be a regular boy about larks. Did you ever hear of the time he and a lot of the fellows went to some God -forsaken vil- lage and gave a concert, palmed themselves - off as famous singers-Brignoli and all that I sort of thing, don't you know? The peo- ! ple, they say, were about as green as they: make them, and the boy il had no end of fun. They staid around with different natives, and the joke of it all was there was some pretty girl there that Macbane was regular- ly mashed on ; he staid on, and had lots of fun with her, and he got Bret to take her • -Ts N-OVEMBER 19 18970 LoompiAN TOMO Cure s Constipation, Sick Headache, digestion, and Dyspepsia; clears the skin and insures a beautiful complexion.

Ali Dealers or address The pleasure of reading a letter depends upon the ease with which one follows the thought, and the necessity for any effort mars the enjoyment and the sense of per. communication. This being so the handwriting is of pritmaimportance. Noth- ing can be more exasperating than an indis- tinct, illegible leant along whose high- ways one must toR and struggle, never quite sure of being on the .right track or of having arrived at the proper destination. There is absolutely no excuse for inflicting such discomfort on one's friends, and it is far better to take refuge in the characterless productions of the typewriter than to put friendship to such a strain. The story has been told that Vanderbilt once dismissed an officer for gross miscon- duct and dishonesty but the only legible part of the document being the signature, the man ueed it fer years as a free pass on the_railroads. Another case I have person- ally known: A letter' containing quite full business details was received by a man in a small community in western Ne* York. He managed to decipher the body of the letter with some approach to assurance, but a much underscored postscript defied his interpretatien, assisted by the united wis- dom of all his neighbors. The conundrum was finally submitted to a young lady vis- iting at the place and reputed to be skilled in tongues, who immediately translated it: "P. S. Be sure you keep this matter a profound secret." The writer had only re- ceived his just deserts in having his secret put at the mercy of a whole neighborhood. -The Chautauquan. • -Backed byl Mayor ,Harrison, Corporatien CounselThornton,ofChicago, will begin a fight on departmental stores in that city. Pre- ceedings will be instituted in some justice court to compel the department stores to observe the provisions of the Walker ordi- nances. These ordinances provide that in no store where dry goods are sold shall meat or liquor be dispensed. In other words, they wipe out the provieion depart- ments of the big stores. HERD n MASS oFISCRBS COULDN'T GO NEAR THE STOVE, Treated by Different Doctors. CURED BY DR. CHASE. The most intractable and distressing skin diseases which defy' all manner of treatment -even the best medical skill - are readily cured by Dr. Chase's Ointment. MRS. JOS. QUERIN, hotelkeeper's wife, at Ethel, Ont., was troubled with Eczema of the Head and Face for about 9 years, and was so bad at times she could not go near the hot stove to do her cooking. Her head was one mass of scabs, and although she treated with doctors it kept getting worse. On hearing of Dr. Chase's Ointment, she got some, and' we.s delighted to find the- first application do her good. She used two more boxes of the Ointment, is now, free from disease, can do her own cooking, and would not begrudge $200 for the good it has done her.
