I say it matters little whether or not the hero or heroine is a worthy object or the reverse ; and the man or woman accused of hideeus murder has his full share of the kind of sympathy of which I am speaking. I am within the mark when I say that there is scarcely, if ever, a notorious fe- male criminal convicted who has not re- ceived offers of marriage, seriously meant, by the dozen. Only the other day the dis- appearance of a man who had inarried hie servant was- reported by the newspapers. He had practically left het to starve, I be- lieve, and one peculiar way of showing sympathy was that of a young man who wrote saying he was willing to marry the deserted one, without, as far as one could see, taking into account the fact that the lady was already married, and that the decease of her lawful spouse was certainly not even suggested. There is a certain morbid and mw form of pride and seeking notoriety emboded in such action. They are the products of weak brains, and there is no finer illustration of what to my mind is a phase of this morbid "suggestibil ty of the crowd" than the stalls of a theatre when some particularly vapid production die- ' tinguished chiefly by the display Of -the charms of the chorus, is in evidence. The is a morbid product. His one desire ire to li average " masher," scientifically reg rded, ruin himself as quickly as possible by an at- techment (sometimes it is of a plural nature) to the damsels who figure on the boards. He has the notion that his escapadee will cause him to be talked about, and that is the aim and end of his ambition. He has only the notoriety of clothe% anehis es- cepedes to fall back upon in his craving for sympathy of the morbid kind to which I allude; and so he treads "the promised way." I never read of a peer marrying a music hall artiste without seeing in the event a similar illustration of the "suggest- ibility of the crowd," and I say this admit- ting that in respect of the moral side of things, many artistes maid give points in morals to the peer. "SW's a ruin 'un, is Natur'," says somebody in; the play—and I would add, especially human nature.—Dr. Andrew Wilson. Beware of False and Deceptive Promises Made by Manufac- turers of Inferior and - 1 1 Imitation Dyes. , Beware of dyes prepared for home use that promise to math aud dye goods at one operation. The soap in much dyes may do a trifle of cleansing, but the coloring work will be a flat and decided failure. Beware of dyes that claim to dye all wool and cotton goods with contents of one peek - age. • This is a chemical impossibility. The operation will, of course, get a color—some- thing muddy, clouded and streaked that will arouse indignation and anger because of disappointment and loss of materials. Diamond Dyes give fast, brilliant and per- fect colors, but they do not promise to cleanse or wash soiled garments or materials. A washing machine may do good washing, but it cannot pretend to do the ironing as well. Diamond Dyeesprepare special dyes for all wool geode, and for cotton and union goods, and guarantee perfect work when directions are observed. If you desire to color all wool goods, ask for Diamond Dyes for wool ; if you have cotton or mixed goods to dye, ask for Diamond Dyes for Cotton and Mixed Goods. Crude imitation dyee aad soapgrease mix- tures can never cope witl4 those great chemi-' cal triumphs—Diamond yes. • Friends " As we climb the hill of -prosperity may we never meet a friend." Thia paradoxical sentiment was a favourite toast at Scottish gatherings n the home land many years ago. It voibed the wish that no friend or fellow countryman should be among those whose wounded in the battle of life were on theft way to the rear—a wee bit of that one touohof nature that mItkes the whole world kin,, ' and may be admitted as evi- dence that Scotchmen are ieither priests nor Levites whenever opportunity presents itself to aid their fellows in distress. The great divine father understood our poor human nature, and the craving of the heart for companionship, when he gave to Adam a friend, " woman" ; and from the first Adam to the lest, man's best nd truest friend has been woman, bl man's labor by her sweet preience and cam- radeship, his :companion in prosperity, his friend in lavers ty, aiding him to rensWed efforfalhat bao4ght suooess out of talliire, and wheal his Krthly labours were oyer and the chill diw1 1 death glistened on his fore- head, made his last hours sweet by the many kind offices that only a woman esti bestow. • ; It has ever been the desire of a Majorit of theluman family to nuneberiamoag the r choicest possessions at least one dear frieri , one dearee than the rest, whose counsel W s priceless, Whose sympathy wee as ready I s the desire for it, whose heart was an one door for the recoptft of the joys quail with the griefs, and rbo gently but firM1 dosed the door on bo h, and thus held o r inmost feelings safe a id sacred from unsy pathetic intrusions.

We can laugh at the drolleries of Bailie Nicol Jerrie, and in spite of his failings we are "a' prood o' Robin" as we read the immor- tal words of " The Cotter's Saturday Night." We smile at the witticisms of Sam Weller and the unbidden tears will flow as we read the pathetic story of "Poor h death of "Dr. rr e's "Margaret ut another name for helpfulness, and none -am poor but oan do their part in the noble work that is ot revolutionize the world and make life worth living to the unfortunate and so hasten the time "When man to man the world o'er • Shall brithers be for a' that."

Life and Health Are at Stake. YOUR OASE CALLS FOR THE USE OF Paine's Celery Compound. PHYSICIANS AND DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND IT. One false etep taken at this time when you are weak, nervous, sleepless, despond- ent, or suffering froea the agonies of rheu- matism and neuralgia may prove fatale_ Thousands are new hovering near the grave who can be brought back to their for- mer healthamd strength if 'Paine's Celery Compound be faithfully used for a time. This wonderful medioal discovery is ac- knowledged by phyrdalans to be the greatest boon ever placed before suffering and half- dead men and womein. Paine's Celery Compound is at the pres- ent time doing a marvellous work all over this Canadian Dominion. The sick are throwing aside medicines and remedies used for weeks and months without good re- sults, and now have their confidence firmly established in Paine's Celery Compound,the medicine that truly bestows new life. This statement is made on the strength of letters received from the sick and suffering and their friends. Cures are effected for thousands whom lives had been despaired of—ciuies that baffled the skill of able physi- cians. If your life is made miserable by nervous. nee, sleeplessness, heart trouble, stomach derangement, dyspetsia, rheumatism, neur- algia, liver or kidney troubles, try the magical effects of one bottle of Paine's Cel- ery Compound, and you will joyfully go on until you stand on the solid rook of health. • B oks. In certain respe3 hooka are to the mind what food is to the body. Well chosen and taken in moderation they nourish, sustain and stimulate life. But if the, quality is un- wholesome and the amount excessive indi- gestion, with its long train of evils, will in- evitably ensue, , To be able to adopt our food to the needs of the body goes a long way towards securing physical health and strength; and to adapt our reading to our mental and moral needs is equally import- ant -to the health of our minds and chem. ters. Nor can the appetite be always de- pended upon as a guide in either case. Sometimes it is feeble and immoderete.

Ta ere is one thing that the poorest person can give to his child, and that is a good name. You may at first eight think this, very unimportant, but it is not no in reality. Think what happens Lin the, case of a lad whose people have allicited him with an un- fortunate name. Through no fault of his he is chaffed in the nursery, jeered at and bul- lied at school, and tormented all through life. It is a minor irritation, of course'but it is one to which he ought not to have been eubjected, and every,. parent should do as well for his offspring in this respect as he in able. At one time there was a rage or Scriptural names. So far so good. Many a good man has been led by such a' name to followafter his namesake in the Bible but surely an abuse crep,lia when such names as Habakkuk, 11.011:ehlin and Tiglathpil- eser Were given to overburdened infanta.

Mr. Harvie was almost riddled with shot, fifty-four being removed by the surgeon; but none penetrated a vital part and he will recover. Mr. Harvie, with a number of others, including Bernard Bennett, of Galt, was hunting hare at Atwood. About dusk one of Harvie's companions was confident that e saw a hare. . He fired and the charge entered Harvie's arm and abdomen. Harvie had one hand wrapped. in a handker- hief, and his comrade seeing something , lute hought it was game.
