Therefore, the only effective treatment is a thorough course of Ayer's Sarsaparilla -the best of all blood purifiers, The sooner you begin the better ; delay is dangerous. "I was troubled with catarrh for over two years. I tried various remedies, and was treated by a number of physi- cians, but received no benefit until I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A few bottles of this medicine cured me of this troublesome complaint and com- pletely restored my health." -Jesse M. Boggs, Heiman's Mills, N. 0. "When Ayer's b..rsaparilla was rec- ommended to me for catarrh, I was in- clined to doubt its efficacy. Having tried so many remedies, with little ben- efit, I had no faith that anything would cure me. I became emaciated from lass of appetite and impaired digestion. I had nearly lost the sense of smell, aid my system was badly deranged. I was about discouraged, when a friend urged me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and re- ferred me to persons whom it had cured of catarrh. After taking half a dozen bottles of this medicine, I am convinced that the only sure way of treating this obstinate disease is through the blood." - Charles H. Maloney, 113 River st,; Lowell, Mass.

A year ago now the Frenoh government sent Paul Leroq, a young Parisian in the diplomatic service, to make a certain negotia- tion with King Kalakaua. The young fellow was bright, entertain- ing and wade a good impleasion in the foreign land. He had general preliminary talks with the King map had neglected to provide him self ivith that necessary document, andwanted to temporize. 'You'd be¢ter just go on and marry us without,' he reasoned. 'No, no,' said the good Scotch minister, 'ye must have a license ' 'How much will it costa' 'Two dollars.' 'And how much will you charge 1' which were quite satisfactory, and The minister responded that that the business was to be definitely set- depended on circumstances; if his tled at a dinner given by the king. client was a rich man he should M.

The king invited that such was not the cele he fixed young Cuwkua, one of his nephews. his fee at $2, whereupon the groom seemed somewhat disooucerted and It was the oddest banquet that I ever heard of. You know that the late King was the prince of enter- tainers and be spared no expense in royally takiug care of his friends. After several courses the k ing said we were to be treated to the chole est dish in the world, called 'poi.' The servants brought in a huge tray, upon which was a fat, smoking dog. The young Frenchman started to jump up from the table, but I held bis down, saying in French that he must put up with anything in order to carry out his plans. "Cheer up,' I said, as the fat dog was being carved. " 'I'll eat it if I die,' he said, es he began to wake his word good. "This poi, as it is called, is the greatest dish in the Sandwich is- lands. A young dog is fattened for three months upon a sort of native potato called poi. Then he is ready for the cook. If irl were served like roast heaf it would be excellent, but the novelty is always brought on like a beef at a barbecue -head, ears, and all but the bark. The meat itself did not taste bad, hut it was enough to make a Siwash ,sick to see the cur's head. Paul L&'rnq ate a few mouthfuls, then contpli- nrented the dish with the suavity characteristic of his race. "'I am a dead man,' he would whisper to me in his native langu- age. "'But you will win out,' I repli- ed as I struggled manfully. "We were tortured for a few ruotnente, then the poi was taken away. "'Now,' said the king, 'lookout for a surprise.' "Poor Leroq's face was a study. He did not dare to ask what was the next sporting event, and I felt as if I were going through a surgical operation. "Do you love miatnos s askee his royal 'uighness.

Eleveu o'clock, twelve, one, two, and still the bride waited in vain. The good divine, who is a kiud hearted bachelor, felt it his duty to roasou with her, and tried to persuade her against marrying a man so evidently worthless.

Another $2 was provided from the bride's puree, and the license hunter was sent out again, accompanied this time by the minister's wan, who carried the money. The license was duty secured, and after a last effort to save the woman from her self -in- curred fate the ceremony was per- formed. The bride took out her purse again to pay the minister, but he declined. `No, no, my good woman; ye'll find him dear enough at four dollars.' And we presume she did. A GIRL WITH A MUS- TACHE.

The Sart Vrancisco (,rltroe.k-lo of i the 24th July contains a letter from D. W. F. McNutt in reply to Ras Witnan's libels on Sir John Mac- donald. Dr. McNutt is a native of Truro, N. S., who went to California many years ago, and has there ac- quired the position of leading physician in Pan Francisco, with all that that position involves. - 'i he following is part of Dr. McNutt's letter : "Sir, -I wonder if Mr. Wiman ever travelled through Canada 25 .years ago, before Sir John built is trade barrier, or if he knew any- thing of the provinces before their Confederation as the Dominion 1 Then every petty province had a tariff system of its own and waa practically enjoying the blessing of Mr. Wiman's trade policy.

Mr. Whiten talks about the trade herder emigrating people from Cau- ada.

A curious instance of what a wo- man will do in the way of marrying was related by a well known rever- end gentleman now of for Canadian Sault, to a party of fellow passen• gers on the Atlantic last week. Hero it is just as we got it at second hand : A middle-aged mein _ -..and woman drifted into the manse ono forenoon about ten o'clock, and -ntrnotmted. That they W8lild likh`to° be married.

To his and his patient's delight it was found the hair had begun to grow, and is now one•half an inch long. 'then the other side was taken in hand, but as the first part of the operation had not been without pain, Miss Sinclair was induced to take chloroform, which made it easier for the surgeon and prevent his patient capering around the room and pranc• ing like a young kid. The deed is done, and Miss Sinclair can soon boast of long, silky, curly mustachios which might make a Spanish Don's eyes turn green with envy.

Holister, of Troy, is stopping at Dr. Stark's Ho- tel, in Ocean Grove, and is attending the services of the camp -meeting as- sociation with several scratches on his face. Last week Mr. IIolister took his first ocean bath. He was with a party of friends,and he thought the bathing far surpassed a plunge in the waters of his native place. He dived and swam, stood on bis head, and cut up other antics in the water. Suddenly the idea struck him that he could create a sensation by playing shark with one of his friends. When the next big roller came in, Mr. IIolister took a header through it and seized what he thought was one of his friend's legs. The leg was wrenched from his grasp and he came up to enjoy his sense. tion. Ile did not enjoy it so much as his friends dict.

The pretty young woman was muscular and she was frantic with indignation. She paid no at- tention to Mr. IIolister's apologies, but dashing at him seized him by the hair, and began scratching his face. The next breaker upset Mr• Holister and his charming assailant, and the Iatter was compelled to release her hold. Mr. IIolister made a break for the beach, where he was met by some of his friends. Dr. Nichols fixed up the cuts on his face. Ile bas not been in the surf since. MRS. CARItUTIIER'S CASE. In reference to the case of Mrs. Carruthers, formerly of Blanshard, who has been committed to stand her trial for murdering her husband at Rainy River, Algoma, last January, Detective J. M. Murray, of Toronto, who worked up the case for the Ontario -Gov erttrtteent, says - that the evidence against the accused shows a motive for murder and the many little suspicious circumstances, such as the purchase of poison, about which Mrs. Carruthers made contra. dictory explanations, the intimacy of MrsCarruthers withFotheringham,her husband's jealousy, their quarrel the .lit previous to Carruthers' death, Mrs. Carruthers' strange conduct on several occasions and her indifference after her husband's death furnish a chain of circumstantial evidence, which, at least, justify the charge of murder.
