Many clover fields a ruined by weeds that were introduced clover seed some previous year.

PERMANENTLY CURED. . 7 asis•smismsos,••• A Story Told by a Justice of the - Peace. Attacked With La Grippe, Which Left, Him Weak and Worn Out -Kidney Trouble Added Its Complications,and the Suffer- er Was Discouraged. From the Journal, Summerside, P. E. I. One of the best known men around Bedi- que and vicinity is Mr. Alfred Schurman, who has recently removed to North Carle- ton. Mr. Schurman was born in Bedique about seventy years ago. Some twenty-five years ago he was sworn. in as a justice of the peace, and about twenty-mie years ago he was appointed clerk of the county court, in both of which offices he has given every eatisfaction. Mr. Schurman was also a farmer on a large scale, and, like most men, engaged in thatioccupation, led a busy life, being compelled to attend strictly to busi- ness, but less than a year ago he retired from farming, and now lives in a cosy cot- tage in North Ca.rleton. Before his retire- ment, work such -as only a man engaged in that occupation knowns anything about, claimed hie attention. His increasing years made the burden heavier and the spring work of 1893 wore him completely out. This is what he tells about it, and how he was cured. - " In the spring of 1893 the con- stant ioil and drudgery connected with the work cif farming wore me out, completely, and the brekk down was the more complete because the results were coupled with the bad effects left by an attack of grippe. One of the results of la grippe was a nasty cough, another was the complete loss of ap- petite.- My spirits were greatly depressed, and I felt that I had lived out my days. I always felt cold, and consequently the stove and I were great friends, but the cold effect- ed more especially my feet and caused me great annoyance. Added to this compli- cation was a serious kidney trouble, which threatened to prove the worst enemy of all. I was unable to do any work, had no ambi- tion and less'etrength, and was not a bit the better offal' the doctor's medicine I had taken. It was my wife who advised me at last to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I bought six boxes and began taking them. My hope revived because a change for the better wars soon taking place, and before they were done I was cured. The six boxes brought back my appetite, strength and ambition, in short, all that I had lost in the way of strength and health. The next spring, however, my health again gave way, and I immediately began using the Pink Pills again, and I am happy to say that they affected that time a permanent cure, and to -day I am as well and hearty as if I were only - forty, I strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all who are suffering as I was. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by going to the root of the disease. They renew and build up the blood, and strengthen the nerves, thus driving disease from the sys- tem-. Avoid imitations by insisting that every box you purchase is enclosed in a wrapping bearing the full trade mark, Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. • News of the Week. -Fire breke out in the Academy of Music, Atlantic City, recently.

The ideal citizen is the man who believes that all men are brothers, and that the na- tion is merely an extension of his family, to be loved, respected and cared for ac- cordingly. Such a man attends personally to all civic duties with which -he deems him- self charged. Those which are within his own control he would no more trust to his inferiors than he would leave the education of his children to kitchen servants. The public demands upon his time, thought and money come upon him suddenly, and often they find im ill prepared ; but be nerves himselfftol the inevitable, knowing that in the villag , state and nation any mistake or neglect'non his part must impose a pen- alty, sooner or later, upon those whom he loves. -John Hebberton, He :Wanted a Wheel. " Well, niy son," said the editor to his son, who wanted a wheel, "you'll find one in the front end of that wheelbarrow, and there is a big pile of coal ashes back of the house that will have to be nrioved. The handle bars are of white ash. and are ad- justable, so• you can get any style of hump on that suits your fancy. It is regulated largely by the load you put on. The big- ger the load the more you have to hump yourself. Be careful and don't mar the enamel on the frame, and keep the ball bearings well oiled, so they won't • out into the cones. The tire is absolutely puncture - less, so you won't have -to take a pump and repair kit with you.

The accident happened in such a manner that the young man could not easily help himself, end the children did not sufficiently realize the gravity f the situation to call nut for help. Strangulation would haste been the inevitable result had not the young Ian' s struggles succeeded in placing him on his feet.

Great kettles were hung over the kitchen fire and filled with hot water and melted tallow. At the cooler end of the kitchen two long poles were placed from chair -back to chair -back. Across these poles, like the rounds �f a ladder, were placed shorter sticks, called candle.rods. To each candle -rod were tied about a dozen straight candle -wicks. The wicke were dipped again and again, in regular order, in the melted tallow, the aucceseioa of dippings giving each candle time to cool. Bach grew slowly in size till all were finished. Deer suet was used as well as beef tallow and mutton tal- low.

He himself had done yeoman work for the passage of the bill, while this other man, who was now asking their support, had done every- thing possible to defeat it. It was a fine point, and the speaker made the most of it; burning before it the lamp of his eloquence until the crowd were wild with excitement. Then Henry sat down, and Johnson got up amid catoalle and scoffs to anrwer him. "What my opponent has told you is true," he said. "Ireland was suffering, and Ivoted against an appropriation for her relief, for the money which it was thus proposed to give away was not mine, but yours; yours because it was in the publio coffers.
