Mrs. D. E. Lasalle, Canal Street, Dunn- ville, Ont., whose husband keeps a Jewyllery store, and ie one of the best known and most progressive citizens of Dunnville; Ont., gives the following de- scription of her recent experience in the use of Milburn's.Heart and Nerve Pills: " I took Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills for weak nerves, dizziness, palpita- tion of the heart, smothering spells at night and sleeplessness. Before I used them I could not get restful sleep, and my nerves were often so unstrung that 1( would start in alarm at the least noise, and easily worried. " Last Fcb.:stry I commenced taking s valuable medicine, and it proved the right remedy for my weak and shattered nervous system.

Under the heading "A Calamity," a paper says:—"The long continuance of the awful weather, this country has been experiencing for weeks is nothing short -of an absolute calamity: Mill- ioriai of dollars' worth of actual damage has already been done, and the des- truction is still going on. Various es- timates of the percentage of crop that has either been completely ruined or badly damaged have been made, and it would seem to be safe to place it at one-half; many conservative people place it higher. The difficulty has been that before the harvest was well under way, the rain set in and caused delay. This threw the harvest late, and before any considerable quantity could be stacked, the real rainy season began, and has continued intermittently for six weeks or more, so that many far- mers have neither been able to com- plete their stacking nor have their threshing done. Of course a large number were able to get their thresh- ing done, and these have been the only fortunate farmers in the country. The tremendous doss npours of rain that began about the first of this month have wr ime -: mage to the , in a great percen .age utterly destroying them. What makes matters worse is the fact that it has never remained clear sufficiently long to enable the farmers to pull the stacks down and dr; .:t_the grain_ In addi- - tion to this many farmers thresh from the stook, and hundreds of fields are still standing in the stook waiting for the thresher. This grain is practically ruined, owing to its exposed condition. Looking at the whole thing, it seems to us that the unpropitious weather has proved nothing short of a calamity to the country." 9 Nothing takes out pain and inflammation, reduces swelling,promotes healing like Hag - yard's Yellow Oil.

Of the,flying proas of the Ladrone is- landers, the reports of travelers are almost incredible. The appearagoe of the proa filled the early voyage with astonishment and its speed with wider. "This inven- tion,” says a recent writer, "would do oredit to any civilized nation." The stem 'and stern are alike and are very sharp. The boat sails in either direction, and al- ways with the some gide to the wind, On the windward side is a long outrgger, and at its extremity is a log of wood Pointed at both ends and parallel with the float. This prevents the capsizing of the boat, the lee side of which ie vertical to prevent drifting to leeward, while the weatherside is built in the ordinary man- ner. To change the direction of the boat, the free end of the yard is brought down while the other is raised, and thus the di- rection of, the boat is reversed, with that of lateen or triangular sail, while the out- rigger is still to windward. These prone passed between -Magellan's ships going at full sail'and the boats they towed astern, "so' quickly and skillfutty that it watt a marvel." Van Noort, the first Dutoh circumnavi- gator, says that "sometimes '200 of these prose, with four or five men apiece, would Dome to trade, all hallooing together- 'Hiero, hiero'—that is, 'Irma, iron,' and with very eagerness run their prone upon the ships." Jacques le ll;ermite, who was off the coast of Guam in 1625, says that the inhabit tnts carne out six miles to meet him, with all sort of refreshments to exchange for old iron, and that there were 150 prose trading with him at one time. An old writer saw that "one of these prose, being dispatched from Guam to Manila, which is 400 good leagues, per- formed the voyage in four days." Dampier, who was at Guam during one of his voyages round the worts, says: "I believe they are the fastest boats in the world. I believe they run nearly 24 miles an hour." ' Malte-Brun speaks of these flying proas as "models of naval architecture." From these proassliagellan gave the is- lands the appropriate name Islas de la Volas Latinas, or the Lateen Sail islands, but his sailors oalled them Ladrones or Robber islands. Drake oalled the Pelew islands, 58 years later, the Islands of Thieves,—Exchange. THE BILLET OF THE BULLET. What a British Officer Did and What an American Actor Does. Several years ago, when England was waging one of her small border wars in northwestern India, some Ghurka regi- ments had taken possession of a small • vil- lage, the natives having fled to a high cliff near by, from which they poured down a heavy fusillade upon their ene- mies. While a volunteer force of Ghurkas under an English lieutenant were scaling the cliff under cover of the bush to make a flank rnovement the rest of the com- mand returned the natives' fire from the village streets. Leaning against the doorpost of a hut stood a young English officer smoking a cigarette and giving occasional orders to his men. Within the hut the surgeon had established a small hospital. An unusual shower of whistling, singing bullets caused him to raise his eyes from the bandages to his kind -in -the doorway. he officer had just taken the cigarette in his lips with his right bend. The surgeon saw hien change it suddenly to his left and heard him give a calm order to his men. A few moments later loud shouts from the cliff announced that the ecaling party had routed the enemy. The assegeon joined the officer in the doorway. He was biovvifg tial lass, puff of smoke from the cigarette still in his, left hand— •the right, shattered by a bullet,• swung quietly at his side. This is a true story, and it le perhaps upon this that Mr. Gillette founded. one of the most effective incidents in the tele- graph office scene of his "Secret Service." —New York Tribune. Former Fraudulent Nurserymen. The world must certainly be getting better, if history bo truthful. Parkinson, who wrote the "Paradiseus Terrestris," in 1658, says, when writing of cherries; "The Aroh-Dukes Morrie is one of the fairest and best cherries wee have, being of a very red color when ripe, and a little long more than round, and somewhat pointed at the end, of the best rellish of any Cherrfe whatsoever, and of a Orme substance; scarce one of twcntie of our Nurserie mon doe sell the right, but give one for another; for it is an inherent qualite almost hereditarie with most of them, to sell any man an ordinary fruit for whatsoever raro fruit he shall asko for; so little are they to be trusted." In- these days the chances aro 19 to 20 that the buyer would get the kind asked for, which is something to say of modern civilization. Parkinson was a druggist, It might be . ell to know whether dealers in pharmacy were as bad as the "Nurserie men" 250 years ago.—Meehan's Monthly. Lotteries In Old Havana. "Life and Society In Old Cuba" is the title of an article in Century, made up of extracts from the journals of Jonathan S. Jenkins; written in 1859. Mr. Jenkins says: In Havana the stranger's attention is arrested by tho venders of lottery tickets, who stand en the street corners with a pair of shears in ono. hand and shoots of lottery tickets in the othor, ready to cut off r.ny a inn her for buyers. They are very adroit; and are apt to persuade the credu- lncs tl:at th.y seal draw a fortune in the scheme These licensed lotteries are one of the groat evils there, especially to tho Spanish people, who seem to bo born gam- bler,, and for whom the chances of dice, n•ds and lottery tickets appear to have it irresistible charm, all classes in Havana dealing in then habitually, Without I'refndioe.

Before taking them I was troubled at night by having to rise, but can now sleep, and do not feel weary in the morning. I hope that this may induce other sufferers from kidney or urinary troubles to give Doan's Kidney Pills a faithful trial, for I know that no other remedy could have acted so well as they did in my case."

Manitoba Schools ARCHBISHOP LANGEV1N SAYS THE ONLY MOPE LIES IN' MANITOBA Ottawa, Oct, 20.—Archbishop Lange - vin, who is in the city, stated that the Catholic schools of the province, though handicapped through want of financial assistance from the govern- ment, were making fair progress. "We are snaking no agitation," con- tinued His Grace, "it being tbe wish of His Holiness t he Sovereign Pontiff, that the question he dealt with calmly and with as little ado as possible. We have strong hopes that the sober sense of justice of the majority will eventually assert itself, and our demands be con- ceded. We ask for nothing to which we are not entitled by the constitution, justice and common sense."• His Grace laid particular stress on the fact that he wished to say nothing that would tend to aggravate the goes - tion. If the Protestant majority can only understand that we have no de- sire to over -rule or in any way inter - fete with their educational affairs, their attitude would heeutire different. Questioned as to whether the matter would be brought up at next session of parliament, Mgr. Langevin stated that there was little probability of such being the case. If the' provincial gov- ernment of Manitoba continues to re- fuse to grant any concessions to the minority, tben their only hope would be the ince ease of Catholic population by immigration of settlers. His Grace states that there has been an abundant harvest in the prairie province and the outlook for prosperi- ty is exceptionally bright. WHY SUFFER AGONY.

AN ENGLISH NEWSPAPER'S APPRE- CIATION OF IT. The following is the conclusion of an article of the London, England, Chron- icle, and is noteworthy because it comes from an avowed' disbeliever in, ;Loot an out and opposant of prohibi- tion:— Still, when- all u allowance has been made for the over -zeal of temper- ance reformers, working in t:nir,tended alliance with the forces of reaction; when, too, the limits of practical statesmanship have been properly, rec- ognized with reference to so drastic and far-reaching ar-.;teasuie as is abso- lute prohibition, the welcome fact re- mains that Canada's vote is a great blow struck for temperance reform. It cannot be compared, even sectionally, with previous provincial plebiscites in Canada, for this is a nation's voice which is,speaking to -day. Likewise it 'is a far more important pronounce• ment than the practice of a few Ame- rican States, for it represents the view of half a continent. Looking at Canada's vote from a proper distance, we see it to be the first clearly national expression of a determination to keep the upper hand of drink. It is, in fact, but one more sign of that just appres ciation and vigorous pursuit of social reforms which has so honorably char- acterized England's colonies. It is well for the old world that the newer com- munities approach these great social questions with greater freedcm than the far -thrown net of vested interests allows at home. For though the time he not ripe, even in Coracle, and though the methods suggested be faulty, last Thursday's vote is the immediate sign of a healthy public opinion throughout the broad Tends of the Dominion upon one of the most insistent as it is one of the most important social questions of all time.

DIAMOND DYES Are Used by All Wise and Economical Women. The only pure. harmless and successful package dyes for home dyeing are the Dia- mond Dyes. The imitation package dyes and the com- mon soap grease mixtures are so largely adulterated with foreign substances that they are positively dangerous to use and handle. No lady who values her garmeuta and materials will Dare to risk the coloring powers of these dyestuffs. Suffice it to say the colors are dull,muddy and lifeless, and cannot stand the most ordinary washing. The Diamond Dyes have a long record of triumphs and well-done work that has nev- er been .equalled in the history of home oyes. In every part of the world they give delight and satisfaction, arid are hailed as true money savers. Easy, pleasant and profitable home dye ing is only possible with the tested and pop- ular Diamond Dyee. As there are atilt storekeepers who sell inferior package and soap grease dyes for the sake of long profits, see to it that your dealer gives you the Diamoud Dyes when you ask for them, Every genuine package has the name "Diamond." It is poor judgment to pay 10 cents for adulterated dyes when you can buy the guaranteed Diamond Dyes for the same price.
