Irving Dodge, 110 West eQj„ ._, f'" `• 1''5th street, Ne w York, certifies :- " About two years ago, after suffering for nearly two years from rheumatic gout, being able to walk only with great discomfort, and having tried various remedies, including mineral watery, without relief, I saw by an advertis•- ment in a Chicago paper that a man had been relieved of this distressing com- plaint, after long suffering, by taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I then decided to make a trial of this medicine, and took it regularly for eight months. I aur leased to say that it effected a com- plete cure, and that I have since had no return of the disease." Mrs. L. A. Stark, Nashua, N, ti., writes: "One year ago I was taken ill with rheumatism, being coulined to my house Six months. I came out of the sickness very much debilitated, with no appetite, and my system disordered in every way. I commenced to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla and began to improve at once, gaining in strength and soon re- covering my usual health. I cannot say too much in praise of this well-kuown medicine." "I have taken a great deal of medi. cine, but nothing Inas done me so much good as Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I felt its beneficial effects before I had ll quite finished one bottle, and I can freely testify that it is the best blood - medicine I know of." -L. W. Ward, Sr., Woodland, Texas.

The Canadian and American Governments have for years been carrying on a war of retaliation in imposingduties upon the pro- ducts of the respective countries, and the unw isdom of such a course has been clearly demonstrated many times during the last twelve years, hut never so unmistakeably as during the present session of United States Congress. The McKinley bill which will tax so many Canadian products heavily was proposed by the Republican party for the purpose of fooling the Western farmers with a show of 'protec- tion' for them, but there can be no doubt that but for the hostile feeling which has grown up be- tween the twolnations as a result of retaliation and of their many disputes,, the opposition offered to the increased and new duties by those in favor of tariff reform and alreduction of taxation would have been more strenuous and more et- fective. The farmers, merchants and consumers have suffered from this war of retaliation and have obtained wisdom from experience, softhat retaliatory proposals are llot as uniformly successful as they Were five or seven years ago. The desire for reciprocity is grow- ing rapidly, and no doubt better feelingsgewer dispuets and closer relations in all respects will fol- low. The Government of Canada should be compelled, however, at this juncture to make very plain the desire of the people of Can- ada for the greatest possible mea- sure of free commercial inter- course,gwhichlsbould never have been interrupted or hindered. - Montreal Witness. AN EASY PLACE. f.; PLUCKED HER CHICKENS. One of the occupants of the Good cottage, near Lake Gervais, on July 13t.h, an elderly woman, was very fond of taking care of fowls, and had raised nearly 100 chickens and ducks. These were all killed by a storm. The lady also had a lot of soft soap of which she was very proud, The soap was left on a board by the side of the house, and of course was carried away by the storm. The occupants of the house, it will be remembered took refuge tin the cellar when they saw the storm coming. All were more or less injured and their clothing torn from their bodies. It was nearly half an hour before all were released, more dead than alive. The lady spoken of was half conscious,and the moment she was taken from the cellar she took one glance at the tornado, threw up her hands and exclaimed : "Oh ! where are my ducks and my chickens, and where is my nice soft soap Y'' Her soft soap had probably dis- solved in Lake Gervais; but the remains of her ducks and chick- ens were found here and there within a radius of a mile or more from the house. The idea that a tornado could pluck the feathers from a fowl as clean as the most accomplished chef has been laughed at, but some of the - chickens and ducks belonging to the Good family were stripped of every feather. But this was not the only remarkable thing about them. Some of the chickens found nearly a mile from the house had their necks stretched to a remarkable length, the necks of some, it is said by those who saw them, being at least a foot long. Another incident of the storm is that one of the ladies who took refuge in the cellar was almost covered with oats, the sharp needles of which penetrat- ed her colthing and to the skin. The husband of the lady vouches for this occurrence and says that it took nearly half an hoe- to rc• move them. To avoid catching cold, many plans have been suggested. Probably if one never went away or did anything out of the usual routine of life, they would be free from the many ailments that flesh is heir to, but this is not a satis- factory solution of the question. Peo- ple must have recreation and enjoyment find frequently catch cold in the pursuit of them.

The railroad slaughter during the month of August discloses a reckless and needless loss of life, most of which was directly trace- able to the victims' own folly and carelessness. Lying down to rest on the tracks, jumping on and off moving trains, attempts to cross i' tracks directly in front ofthe locomotives, and walking on the track, ought to he made offences to the law. Besides the other fatalities for which the railroad officials are held responsible for there were as many as twenty rases of attempted or successful train -wrecking reported from var- ious parts of the States during the month of August. A lad once stepped into our of- fice in search of a situation. He was asked : 'Are you not employed 9' 'Yes, sir.' 'Then why do you wish to change?' '0, I want an easier place.' We had not a place for him. No one wants a boy or man who is seeking an easy place; yet just here is the difficulty with thou- sands. They want easy work,and are afraid of earning more than their wages. Will the boys lel us advise them ? Go in for the hard places ; bend yourselves to the task of showing how much you can do. Make yourself serviceable to your employer, at whatever cost of your own personal ease; and if you do this he will soon find that he cannot spare you, and when you have learned how to do work you may be set to teach others, and so, when the easy places are to be had, they will be yours. Life is toilsome at best to most of us, but the easy places are at the end, not at the beginning, of life's course. -Selected. NEWS NOTES. The Minto township council, in the county of Wellington, is about to grant aid to some of the farm- ers in the township who have has their crops destroyed by a hail- storm this summer. Ram Wann, a wealthy young Chinaman from San Francisco. Cal., arrived at Windsor,00 Thut's- day on his way to Montreal. He paid the $50 charged by the Gov- ernment for entering Canada with- out a murmur, and told the cus- toms officer that he was still worth $2,000,000. On Saturday last a man named H. Meggs, of Ruth, Sanilac county shipped eighteen bead of cattle to Port Huron. He was unable to obtain a cattle car and he shippel them in a close box car. When the train reached the city and the car was opened the cattle were every one dead. They re- mained standing as they had been packed in the car. What e'es could such a cruel fellow espe f t One wonders why he did not kg himself up with them. Mr Plimsoll's propollJti to exclude from Grert 13 al Canadian and United rtes cattle has not been receive very seriously. Dressed to shipped does pct sell as high as that dressal on the spot. The British beef eater wants his steak and roasts prime, acid he will have them to his liking de- spite Mr Plimsoll. Furthermore, English and Scotch feeders are anxious to have a supply of Can- adian stockers, though it is a much better general policy for the Canadian farmers to put the finishing touches on these animals th.nrselves. Mrs Crozier, an old and respect- ed resident of Digby, N. S.. met with ' a horrible death through the mistake of a druggist. She had been ill for the past few days and a dcc'or was called who per - scribed for her. The prescrip- tion was taken to the drug store of Stark & Co., to be filled, and by a mistake the clerk sent fifteen grains of strychnine. The unfor- tunate lady died in great agony a short while after. She was 72 years old and has two daughter s in Lynn, Mass., and a son in Cali- fornia. NEWS NOTES.

Sun: --Once in a while the usual processes of life are revers- ed, and an intellectual Adam re- turns to delving in the soil and finds profit and presumable happi- ness in it. Arising young lawyer in one of' the river counties, who was a member of the Legislature some twenty years ago, married the daughter of'a rural clergyman living not a groat distance from the city, .end came to the con- clusion that there was more money for him in dairy farming than in Iaty or polities. He made a study of the methods of the larger hotels in connec;Son with the supply of eggs, butter and milk, and acted upon the results. Gilt-edged but- ter, large-sized eggs, and pure milk would always bring a high price, he found, and he determin- ed to deal in no others. It was hard work at first, even when be had secured contracts, and he had to tsil early and late, in all sorts of weather, to keep his sup- plies up to the standard and satis- fy his customers. Few would have recognized the elegant young tatesman in the weather-beaten, oughly attired contractor, and ociety was ready to criticise his folly and pity his wife. But he persevered and in the end had his reward. Butter and eggs have paved his way to fortune, and he can now leave the hard work to his lieutenants. At no time does he grieve at having abandoned professional life for the farm and (.airy. There is more fun in a sheet of sticky fly paper than in the average negro minstrel.

THE CHURCH LKING WITII THE WORLD. The Church and the World walked far apart. On the changing shores of time; The World was singing a giddy song, And the Church a hymn sublime. "Come, give me your hand," cried the merry World, "And walk with me this way;" But the good Church hid her snowy hand, And solemnly answered, "Nay, I will not give you my hand at all, Your way is the way of endless death: Your words are all untrue." To gather her children in. But some were off in the midnight ball, And some were off at the play, And some were drinking at gay saloons: So she quietly went her way. The sly World gallantly said to her, "Your children mean no harm - Merely indulging in innocent sports." So she leaned on his proffered arm, And smiled, and chatted, and gathered flowers, As she walked along with the World; While millions snd millions of death- less souls To the horrible pit were hurled. "Your preachers are all too old and plain," Said the gay old World with a sneer; "They frighten my children with dreadful tales, Which I like not for them to hear: They talk of brimstone and tire and pain, And the horrors of endless night; They talk of a place that should not be Mentioned to ears polite. 1 will send you some of the better stamp, Brilliant and gay and fast, Who will tell them that people may live as they list, And go to heaven at last. The Father is merceful and great and good, ❑true and kin Tender and d; , Do you think He would take one child to heaven And leave the rest behind?" So he filled her house with gay divines, Gifted and great and learned; And the plain old men that preached the cross Were out of the pulpit turned. "Yon give too much to the poor," said the World; Far more than you ought to do. If the poor need shelter and food and clothes, Why need it trouble you? Go, take your money and buy rich robes, And horses and carriages fine. And pearls and jewels and dainty food, And the rarest and costliest wine. My children they dote on all finch things, And if you their love would win, You must do as they do, and walk in the ways That they are walking in." The Church held tightly the strings of her purse, And gracefully lowered her bead, And simpered, " I've given too mnch away; I'll do, sir, as you have said." "Nay, walk with me but a little space," Said the World with a kindly air, "The road 1 walk is a pleasant road, And the sun shines always there. Your path is thorny and rough and • rude, And mine is broad and plain; My road' is paved with flowers and gems. And yours with tears and:pain. The sky above me is always blue: No want,n n toil, I know; he sky above you is always dark; 'Your lot is a lot of woe. My path, you see, is a broad, fair path, And my gate is high and wide, - There is room enough for you and for nie To travt1 side by side," Half shyly the Church approached the World, And gave him her hand of snow; The old World grasped it, and walked along, Saying, in accents low, - "Your dress is too simple to please my taste; I will give you pearls to wear, Rich v(Iy* and silks for your graceful forma And diampid; to deck your ]lair." The Chuiph looked down at her plain white i Ode, And then at ilea dazzling World, And blushed tasire saw his handsome lip With a smile t l]temptuous curled. "I will change toy dress for a costlier one,'' Said the Church with a smile of grace; Then her pure garments drifted away, And the world gave, in their place, Beautiful satins, and shining silks, And roses and gems and pearls; And over her forehead her bright hair fell (2 risped in a thousand curls. "Your house is too plain,' said the proud old World; "I'll build you one like mine: - Carpets of Brussels, and curtains of lace, And furniture ever so fine." So he built her a costly and beautiful house -- Splendid it was to behold; Her sons and her beautiful daughters dwelt there, Gleaming in purple and gold; And fairs and shows in the halls were held, And the World and his children were there; And laughter and music and feasts were heard that was meant for prayer. Intheplace\ P - She had cushioned pews for the rich and the great To sit in their pomp and their pride, While the poor folks, clad in their shab- by snits, Sat meekly down outside. The angel of mercy flew over the Church, Ann whispered, "i know thy sin." The Churrh looked back with a sigh, and longed BUILT BY SUN WORSHII-Pcei. So the poor were turned from her door in scorn, And she heard not the orphan's cry; And she drew her beautiful robes aside, As the widows went weeping by. The sons of the World and the sons of the Church Walked closely hand and heart, And only the Master, who knoweth all, Could tell the two apart. Then the Church sat down at her ease and said, "I am rich, and in goods increased; I have need of nothing, and naught to do But to laugh and dance and feast." The sly World heard her, and laughed in his sleeve, And mockingly said aside, "The Church is fallen -the beautiful Church - And her shame is her boast and pride!" The angel drew hear to the mercy - seat, And whispered, in sighs, her name: And the saints their anthems of rap- ture hushed, And covered their heads with shame. And a voice came down, through the hnsh of heaven, From Ilim who sat on the throne, "1 know thy work, and how thou hast said, 'I am rich;' and hast not known That thou art naked and poor and blind And wretched before My face; Therefore, from My presence I cast thee out, And blot thy name from its place!" Wonderful Ituailway That Runs Feet L'pa Mound. ('harles J. Wimple, a wealthy Mexican miner, tells the following story to a rep- reseutative of the San Francisco ('all: "You have asked me to give an ac- count of the interesting mountain my friend, Jessie D. Grant, and myself saw during our trip through Mexico en route to this city. Well, that mountain is at once nue of the most gigantic exhibitions of man's handiwork and something ai- ntost i,eyond credence were we not already familiar iliar with the works of the Aztecs. "Just imagine a valley forty by thirty miles in area, and from its centre rising a mound over 1,200 feet in height. 'Then you can realize the first effect created upon our niinds when we came before the hill I am to describe. My foreman was with us, and had partly prepared us for the surprise, but we had treated his story with incredulous remarks, and had by no means suspected he had but given a modest description of the mound. "We gazed to the top and allowed our eyes to follow the windings of a road down to the base. We went around the base and conjectured it was about one and a half miles in circumference Then we started for the summit. The roadway was built of solid rock clear to the pinacle, and was Plum thirty to forty feet in width. A wall of solid rock formed a foundation and an inside wall at the same time. The outer edge of the road was unguarded. These stones weigh all the way up to a ton each, and are not cemented. The roadway is as level as a floor, and is covered with bro- ken pieces of earthen -ware water vessels, "Half way up the mountain is an altar cut in solid rock ; in the niche is a bould- er which must weigh at least six tons. The boulder is of different stone from that used in the walls. The rocks in the walls are dressed by skilled workmen but are not polished. We saw no inscrip- tions ; in fact, we had no time to spate in making a searching investigation. We did look for arrow -heads or other warlike implements to satisfy ourselves that the mound had not been used for defensive or offensive purposes. Nor was there any evidence to prove that the road -way was built for the purpose of witnessing bull fights and other sports in the valley. I could only conclude the Aztec sun worshippers expended years of labor on the hill in order that the plight have an appropriate place to celebrate their im- posing festivals, inasmuch as the road- way was strewn with broken earthen- ware, and those scions of a bygone and notable race were known to carry at sun- rise large quantities of water in earthen- ware jars to an eminence, and there pour out the liquid and smash the vessels. "When we descended we brought with us a number of small sea -shells which had petrified, and if you look at these on my table you will see how they have been perforated by the Indians. We again took a long long look at the mountain and saw it was oblong in shade, and that the upward road commenced on the east- ern side. I have travelled on both sides of the mountains from British Columbia to Central America, and on either side of the Sierra Madres where the cliff -dwel- lers have left such remarkable mementos nf their Skill and customs, but I have never witnessed anything so wonderful and magnificent as the mound vhhichl have been telling you about. "The valley is about six hundred feet above the sea level, and is about seventy miles from the coast. It is situated in Sonora, between the cities of Altar and Magdalena, and near the Magdalena River. We call the curiosity Palisades Mountain, and it is well named."

They can sit quietly and gape. They live as we all should live, undisturbed, indifferent and with- out disquiet. The one charm of marriage is that It makes a life of deception necessary for both parties. conscience and cowardice are really the same things. Conscience is the trade name of the firmThat's all. Laughter is not a bad beginning for a friendship and is the Lest ending for one. The more insincere a man is, the more purely intellectual his idea will be, for it will not he colored by his wants, his de- sires, or his prejudices, Every impulse that we strangle broods in the mind and poisons tis.
