AUNTY GLEN'S CUBE. GCow the Old Lady Got Rid of a DreadfxU Headache. Tommy romeroy's pneumonia led to a discussion at the sewinij-club between an advocate of inuKtard plaslei-H and a believer in cold-water applications. "What a variety of cures there arc," reiimrked Miss I-^erett, pleas- antly, with a meaning ionU at the others. "Yesterday 1 heard of the 'laughing cure' I" "indeed!" The minister's wife hastened to help in steering conver- sation away from the belligerents. "You've kept yourself so young, Mrs. tilen, you must have something interesting to contribute on cures." The old lady thus addressed was 1 recent coiner, but it was gradual- ly dawning 03i the coirimunity that they had a saint among them â€" one of the unobtl'UH.ivo, happy, healthy kind. Children were already calling her "Aunty Olen." "Do you believe in mustard?" de- manded the determined advocate. "^'or those that it benefits, yes," said Mrs. (!len, gently. "I!ut tell us how you have kept well," hastily interposed Miss Ever- ett. "I don't mind felling, but T guess you'll think it's a funny kind of cure," Mrs. Glen replied, with a Bmile. "Onc«', years ago I had a dreadful headache. I hadn't slept a wink the night before â€" I was grieving about a friend that hadn't treated me right. "I was just brooding away, going over and over in my mind what I'd Hay to Mehilabel Kecord some day, when I saw that a big grudge was growing right up inside of me. 'Now.' said I to myself, 's'posc Me- hitabel Itecord did really do it, is that a reason why you should grow a, grudge?' "So I set ri(.;ht about forgiving her as hard as 1 could, and pretty %oon I just loved Mehitabel llecord, ao matter what she'd tlone." The needles were motionle.ss. The â- peaker, although flushing under the gaw of many e.ycs, continued: "An«l when I'd thoroughly for- given Mehitabel â€" why, my hea<!.iche was gone, and T felt nice all over. It Ket me to thinking. After that, whenever I had an ache or pain, I practised going away by myself and forgiving some one. It worked won- derfully." "Did you always have some one," asked the minister's wife, softly, "to practis,' on?" "Deary me, no!" said Aunty Glen. "Everybody's always treat- ed me so nice, 1 ran out of folks to forgive long ago." "How did you manage your 'cure' then?" "Oh. along about the same time I ran out of aches and pains, too. I haven't lost a day In bed in forty- live years." There was a pause. Miss Everett, with shining eyes, broke the silence: "I.ndies, I move a vole of thanks to â€" to dear Aunty Olen, for a bit of very deep and very dear philoso- phy. And I move, also, that we adopt her cure and practise it â€" with mustard plaster or without, as each one likes." SEAIII'MI.S OK FAMOUS NAMKR.

WHONG SORT. Perhaps Plain Old Meat, Potatoes and Bread May be Against You tor a Time. A change to the right kind of food can lift one from a sick bed. A lady in Wclden, 111., says: "Last spring I became be<l-fast with severe Blomuch trouble accom- panied by sick headache. I got worse and worse until I became so low I could scarcely retain any food at all. although I tried every kind. I had beiotiie completely discovir- ngcd, had given up oil hope' and thought I was doomed to starve to death, till one day m.v husband try- ing to lind something I could retain, brought homo some (Irape-Nuts. "To my surprise the food agreed with mo, digested perfectly, and without distress. I began to gain strength at once, my (lesh (which ha<l been flabby) grew firmer, my health improved in evjii'y wa.v and every day, and in a very few weeks I gained 20 pounds in weight. I liked Crape-Nuts so wi^ll that for 4 months I ate no other food, and al- ways felt as well satislii^d after eat- ing a." if I had sat down to a fine banquet. "1 had no return of the miserable sick stomndi nor of the headaches, that T used to have when I ate other food. T am now a well wo- man, doing all my own work again. and feel that lifi' is worth living. "Orape-Nuts food has been a god- send to my family; il surely saved m.v life and my two little boys have thriven on 11 wond(<rfully." Name given by Postiun Co., llattle tJreek, Mich.

"It gives mo pleasure to be able to tell." says Dame Hradette. "that I am cvircd of all the ills I sulTerod for a number of years. I found in Dodd's Kidney Pills quick relief from all my pains.

His Majesty Will Inspect 40,000 Troops on September 18th. The announcement that his Ma- jesty the King is to hold a review of volunteers in Kdinburgh on Septem- ber 18, has created intense satisfac- tion all over Scotland It has long been known that Lord Provost Cran.ston has been exerting himself to the utmost in order to get his Majesty to hold a review on some- thing like the scale which Queen Vic- toria held in August, 1881, when al- most 40,000 volunteers were on pa- rade from every part of Scotland. The arrangements are in the hands of the military head-quarters in Scotland, who now occupy spacious offices in the palatial buildings ol the "Scotsman." AUIJANGIOMKNTS ON FOOT. It is believed that the military authorities in Scotland have already put themselves in connection with the War Office with a view of ascer- taining what allowance is to be made toward the expenses of the vol- unteers who may come to the review from a distance. as soon as oe- finite information has been obtained upon this point no time will be lost in conmiunicating with commanders of corps throughout the country. l'.]dinburgh is sure to make a good contribution to the gathering, for it will bo the desiro of tho brigades of which Lord I'rovost Cranston is so popular a commander to turn out in such numbers as will demonstrate to his Mojcsty how admirably he has interpreted the feeling of tho volun- teers of the capital. All over Scot- land the same feeling is believed to prevail, and there is general expecta- tion that throughout tho covnitry the day will be observed as a genc^r- al holiday. Thi.4 will moan an influx of people to the capital on a scale which will help to make up (or the lack of visitors recently complained of. The various railways will un- do\ihtedly otTci- tempting facilities which will insure an immense attend- ance of spectators. It will provide, too, another of the too rare iippor- tunities which i)eiiplo from ever.y part of .Scotland have of testifying how popular his Mojcsty is among his ."-cotlish subjects. IIKLP VOLUNTF.KU MOVKMKNT. 'J'he review will also tend to infuse new life into tho volunteer move- ment, which in .Scotland, as in some parts of Kngland, has rather sidler- ed in jiopularity within recent years as the result of what, rightl.v or wrongly, is regarded as tho Want of genuine practical interest on the part of the war oftleo. It is not yet known whether the Queen is to accompany the King, but if his Ma- jesty is accompanied by his ro.yal consort, this will only lend addition- al eclat to what hos every prospect of being a memorable occasion In .Scottish history. Unfortunately the last review took place on what was one of the wettest days on record. Hut he tho weather what it may this time, there Is no doubt but there will lie plenty of piilhusinsm on tho oc- casion of the King's visit, and it will not be surprising if the muster of volunteers at tho review exceeds even the great gathering which inarihed jiast tjueen Victoria in IHHl.

Tho Supreme Court of the Indepen- dent Order of Foresters held its triennial session at Atlantic City, Now Jersey, recently. The reports submitted at this meeting show the society to be a wonderfully prosper- ous one. An Independent Finance Committee investigated all the secur- ities, etc., and reported that they found the business affairs of the or- der managed in a thoroughly busi- ness manner, the investments safely and wi.scly made, and that no lo.s.ses had been incurred during all the years of the order's history. The order's accumulated funds have in- creased in the last three jcars $3,- 272,;145.51. Tho order's position Is growing better every year, for nstance, the increase in accumulated assets during the last two years, 1903-4, was >S4..T4 |>er cent., while the increase in insurance at risk during the same period was only 6.97 per cent. Tho order has increas- ed its accumulated funds since the last meeting of tho Supreme Court more rapidly than it increased in any equal time previously. During tho 313 working days of the year the order pays out $8,892.89 per day, and each day puts away a surplus of $3,907. The order's accumulated funds now amount to over $9,000,- 000, and these, the committee re- ports, arc all well and safely invest- ed. The society has added 11,000 members net for each year of the past triennial period. fCo changes were made in the rates, the Supreme Chief Ranger contending thot the rates of the order at the present t inie were ample. All the Supreme Executive were re- elected, with Hon. Dr. Oronhyatckha at their head. It should be addcnl that the death rate of the order is low, indeed much lower than it was some years ago, and the average age of the membership is only thirty- seven. The medical work seems, therefore, to be well and carefully done. As a fraternal society the Independent Order of Foresters cer- tainly has been a wonderful success, and something of its finoncial strength may bo understood from the fact that the reports show that il has already enough ii\ its treasury to pay all probaMe death claims for about live years without collecting any premiums from any one of its members. â€" Toronto Globe, August 15.

Tho Prince do l^ignc is the fortu- nate possessor of perhaps the most ctirious book in the world. It is neither piinted nor written. The letters ot the book ai'u all cut out of volluin and pasted on blue paper. Tho book is as easy to read as if printed from the boUlest typo. All tho choractcrs are cut out with marvellous pi'ecision and unifoimity. and this dexterous piece of handi- craft must have required a groat amount of time, labor and patience by the author. The volume bears the title "Tho Hook of all Passions of Our Lord Jesus Christ, with charactei-s not composed of any ma- terial." It Is said that in 1610 the German Kinperor, Tludolph II.. olTer- ed the enormous sum of 11,000 du- cats toi' this wondnrfiil, but yet ctiri- ous, work of art. What makes the histoi'y of tho book mote peculiar is the fad that the Kiiglish arms nro inscribed tipou it, although tho book is supposed never to have been in KiiKlnnd.
