Some months ago Maggie, the fifteen -

face was almost as white as chalk, her ap-
petite very fickle, and her limbs began co
swell. -Notwithstanding her growing weak-
ness, she persisted in attending school until
one day her teacher advised her to go home,
and not to return until she felt better. At
the same time the teacher, who knew the
value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in such
cases, advisedsher to take them. The ad-
vice was followed, and Mrs. Sweeney told
Our reporter that almost from the outset

there is no other remedy the equal of Dr.

The Audibility of Thunder.
While lightning may be seen and its
illumination of clouds and mist may be rec-
ognized when it is even 200 miles distant,
thunder is rarely audible more than ten
miles. The thunder from very distant
storms, therefore, seldom reaches the ear.
The reason of the great uncertainty in the
audibility of thunder is not difficulty to un-
derstand. It depends not merely On the in-
itial intensity of -the crash, but quite as
much on the surroundings of the observer,
even as in the quiet country one will ob-
serve feeble sounds that escape the ear in a
noisy city. Pephaps the most • curious' and
important condition of audibility is that
the thunder wave of sound shall not be re-
fracted or reflected by the layers Of warm
and cold air between the observer and tbe
lightning or by the lams of wind, swift
above and slow below, so as to entirely pass
over or around the observer. Sound, in its
w velike progress obliquely through layers
of ir of different densities, is subjectto re-
fraction, and this refraction may occur at
any time and place. Thus, observers at the
topmast of a ship frequently hear fog whis-
tles that are inaudible at sea. level; those
on hilltops hear thunder that cannot be
heard in the valley; those in front of an i
ob-
stacle hear soands naudible to those behind
it. The rolling of thunder, like that of a
1 distant cannonade, may be largely , due to

Barrel -Grown Strawberries.
An Ohio farmer has struck an idea worth
following. Being short of room in his kitch-
en garden, he had recourse to barrels for
the cultivation of his strawberry plants.
He found that the fruit turned out so well
that he has now taken to the new method
of cultivation entirely. He has taken iron
hooped barrels, sets them up, and bores
rows of holes around them. After filling
them with good earth, he sets rows of
plants in the.earth through the holer. All
he then has to do is to give the plants -plen-
ty of water, and they will give him fine
crops of berries. He says that each barrel
gives him half a bushel of rifrait, and is el -
ways free from sand, and being well ex-
posed, it can always grow and ripen proper-
ly. The barrels should be placed four feet
apart -so that an acre of land will hold 2,000
of them. This should give a yield of 1,250
bushels of strawberries to the acre, and if
the bohres in which they are shipped hold
full pints, the quantity would equal 80,000
boxes. At this rate, three or four barrels
planted off' as described, Should give an
ample supply of strawberries for an ordinary
family.
An Important Judgment.
At Osgoode Hall, Toronto, on May '8th,
on application of G. T. Fulford & Co.'pro.
proprietors Of the Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., a perpetual injunction was granted by
Chancellor Boyd restraining Theodore Sweet,
druggist, of St. Catherinee, from 'selling a
pink colored pill in imitation of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. It seems
necessary to again impress upon the public
the fact that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can
only be obtained in packages, the wrapper
around which bears the full, law -protected
trade mark, Dr. Willianss' Pink Pills for
Pale People." Pills offered in any other
form, and notwithstandifig anything the
dealer may say, are fraudulent imitations
and should always be refined. The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co. will be glad to ob-
tain, (in confidence), the name of any dealer
offering for sale any imitation of -their pills,
as the company is determined to protect the
public against this species of fraud_.

Once the Executive Mansion.
One of the moat interesting houses in the
city of Washington is that which stands on
the corner of New Yolk avenue and Eigh-
teenth street, commonlyknown AA the
"octagon house." It is interesting on ac-
count of the fent that it was once used as
the executive mansion.
In 1798, Colonel John Tayloe, whose rep-
utation seems to bave been based largely,on
the fact of his being the richest man in Vir-
ginia, decided to build a home for himself
and family in the city of Philadelphia but
owing to the persuasions of General Philadelphia,
changed hisnmind,tand built instead
the octagon house, n what was considered
in those days_ a very out-of-the-way portion
of the city. General Washington assisted
in making the plans and took the keenest
interest in its erection.
Colonel Tayloe entertained what was
known as the inofficial set, which comprised
some of the first 'families of Washington,
but it was not until the burning of the
White House, in 1814, that it became a
political centre. Then it was that he re-
moved his family to o e of bis Virginia
plantations end offered lo rent the house to
President Madison, whllch offer was ac-
cepted.
Although moccupied f r yeare, it stands
to -day almost the same as it stood in the
days when men and Women of fashion
thronged its rooms. On ascending a flight
of stone steps and enteril the broad door-
way one finds himself in hall almost oir-

Beyond is blether hall, from which opens on
the right the 'Ballroom where Dolly Madison
held some of her famous receptions.
For yearepast the house has had an un••
°ann.* reputation, on account of the numer-
ous ghost stories which are in circulation
concerning the strange sounds heard within
It. walls. The watchman, who has lived
there for seven years, claims, however, that
he has never yet heard a sound. Neverthe-
less, there is one story which hu the, sem-
blance of truth. While the Tayioee were
day, but the maid on answering it cou d see
occupying the house the door bell rag one
no one. Again it rang, and this time the
old colonel himself went, but there was no
one. Finally all the bells in the house start-
ed ringing and nothing could stop them.
They continued ringing until the Tayloe fam-
ily took their departuree The local papers
noted the phenomenon at the time of its
occurrence.

proportion as under the first call. No

-How Posta Oft Iffelect tifs Tendencies of
Their Times.
In hie serial of comparative readings in
the College hall of Westminster abbey re-
cently, Stephen Phillips proceeded to 11-
lustrato Tennyson as the poet of his own
age and time. Some critics; he observed,
coneldered that the chief
poet was to mirror the
the time in whioh he liv
did not hold No extreme
function of the
haraoterletios of•
, but he himself
a view, pointing
out_that Keats, for insta oe, lived entirely
apart from almost all the tendencies of his
day. Muols, however, of Tennyson's suc-
cess was due to the fact tbat he mirrored
the chief tendencies and thoughts of the
time in which he lived.
The Bret illustration f this idea was
given in a seleetion from the "Princess," •
In which the poet ploture uely dee t with
the13question of the high eduoati n and
emanoipation of women which w s agi-
tating the minds of men at the period in
which he wrote. "Loo ploy Hall" was
next -given as an instanc of the effective
manner in which Tenn rson yoked the
thought of the des/ in r gard to the ad-
vance of science, this poe being written,
as the reader remarked, at a time when
science had practically nly begun and
when there was much peculation as to
the possibilities of futurelidiscovery.
th
Then there was e ear that science
should end in extinguishing the old faith
and religion of the country, and it was of
this conflict between religion and science
-which the reader thojight was much
more apparent than real that Tennyson
was thinking when in »Ia famous poem
"In Memoriam" he pen ed the lines be-
ginning, "Be near pre hen my light is
low." Still another ten ency of Tenny-
son's time was the feelin among church-
men that they should give more thought
to tho wants of the poor; and in illustra-
tion of this Mr. Phillips quoted the "In-
vitation to F. B. Morris.' .
Finally the reader remi ded hiaaudience
that ,Tennyrion's time saw the beginning
of the recovery from the reaction produced
by the French revolution, and he quoted
Iwo short poems in whicili the poet dealt
with the new English id a of freedom as,
"broadening down froi4i precedent te
precedent." Turning!' to Wordsworth, he
pointed out that this poet had started with
the moat convinced hop in the French
revolution and that when that movement
led to excesses there smiled nothing left
for him. Wordsworth, however, found
two sources of consolation in nature and
duty, and hence his "Od to Duty," with
which the afternoon's r adings ended -
