The following incident occurred at a pro- vincial tailway statism in England. A young loan Was standing beside some luggage wait- ing for a train, when a porter came up to him and said - "Sir, that luggage is over -weight." "Who says it is ?" asked the man, who stammered badly, " Well, I taints it is," answered the por- ter, "but we will weigh it." During the conversation a crowd had col- lected round them, and another porter came up and asked what was the matter. The man stammered .out - First he says it is over -weight ; then he taps he th-inks it is over -weight, and then he sa,ys he- will weigh it." The porters then took hold of the luggage and carried ib to the office, where they care- fully weighed it. It is over -weight, and you have got is, 9d. to pay," said porter No. 1. Sh-an't pay it," the man said. Well, if you won't pay it we shall fetch thesstationmaster," said the porter. "Fetch who you like; shan't pay it," again stammered the man. The stationmaater was duly fetched, and on arriving asked what the bother was about, when the man again said - "First he says it is over -weight, and then he thinks it is over -weight. a-nd then he weighs it, and says I have is. 9d, to pay. Shan't pay." " Well," said the stationmaster. in a rage, "why won't you pay?' " l.recause its not my luggage," answered. ,the man, as he calmly walked off. k • Mrs. Cleveland's One Official - Favor WHICH SHE ASKED OF HER HUSBAND DURING HIS WHITE HOUSE PA.S " All durine Mr. Clevela.nd'e two terms as President Mrs. Cleveland's most intimate associates were those whom she knew before marriage," says a writer in the J une Ladies' Home Journal.- One of them. was the wife of a clerk in the Treasury Department, who lived in one of the ritost modest little hon -14s in Waehington'e most unfashionable dis- trict.

Another Was the wife of a struggliou lawyer, and each week a bouquet of White House flewers came to cheer, the honie of the friend of schoolgirl days. A fourth was the teacher of a small kindergarten, who, when the Cleveland children reached a seitable age, transferred her school to the White House, 1 f TWIN TORTIIRMS! Lumbago and Rheumatism made Hsxmless by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Lumbago and Rheumatism cause endless pain and suffering. Every man and woman who runs chances of getting wet, or catching cold, is liable - to suffer from one or both. Our hospitals are full of sufferers from these diseases; none are more pain- ful. Every nerve is on fire; every joint is a centre of agony ; every mus- cle an area of torture. To move hand or foot makes the victim shriek with agony. Rheumatism makes more cripples 'than all the -railroad accidents that ever happened. Twisted, mis-shapen caricatures of humanity, who cannot walk without misery, are to be seen every day.

' HEART WEAKNESS. Must Be Treated in Time or Ends in Certain Death. Some of the Symptoms are Palpitation After Slight Exertion, Sometimes Se- vere Pains, Dizziness and Fainting Spells -It Can Be Cured. From the Echo, Platteville, Oat. The Echo has read ard has published many statements from people who have been oared of various ailments by the timely and judicious use of Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills for Pale People, but never before have we had such pereotially convincing proof of their efficacy as in the case of Mrs. George Tay- lor, who with her husband and family, re- side iu ads village'. To an Echo reporter Mrs. Taylor gave •the following history of her illness and cure, and asked that it be given the widest publicity, so that others might be benefitted :-"I am 32 years of age," said Mrs. Taylor, "and in 1885 my husband and myeelf were living on a farm in Perth county, and it was there that I was first taken rick. The doctor who was called in said I was suffering from bear& trouble, due to nervous debility. All his remedies proved of no avail, and I steadily' grew worse. The doctor edvised a change, and we moved to Moncten, Ont. Here I put myself under the eharge of another physician, but with no better results. At the least exertion my heart would palpitate violently. I was frequently overcome with dizziness and fainting fits While in these any limbs would becomecold„ and often my husband thought I was' dying. I tried sev- eral medicines advertised to cure troables like mine, but with no better resulte, and I did notexpect to recover, in faun I often thought it would be better if the end came, for my life was one of misery. We moved back to the farm, and then one day I read the statement of a lady who had been cured of similar trouble by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, eo I said to my hus- band that I would try this medicine, and it seemed to me that it was my Iva, chance. Before the first box was finished I felt an improvement in my appetite and felt that this was a hopeful sign. By the dine I had used three boxes more my trouble seemed to be entirely gone. and I have not felt a sin- gle incurrence of the old symptoms. Since mohneg to Platteville I have used two boxes, and they had the effect of toning up the syetern and• curing slight indispositions. To- day I ant a„ well woman, and owe my life to Dr. Williams' Pink Pale, and to me my restorationaeems nothing short of a miracle. I was like one dead and brought back to life, and I cannot speak too highly of this medi- cine, -or urge too etrongly these who are afflicted to give it a trial." It has been moved time and again that Dr. Williams Pink Pills cure heart troubles, nervioos debility, rheumatism, sciatica, St. Vitus' dance aud stomach trouble. They make new blood and baild up the nerves restoring the glow of health to pale and sallow faces.
