IN MERRY OLD ENGLAND KEWS 3Y MAII- ABOUT JOHU BULL AND HIS PEOPLE. <DecTirrenceB In the Land That Beigns Supreme In tlie Com- mercial World. The Kochdalu Kducation Coniniit- teu has decided to provide needy Khulars with clogs aiid spcctarlos out of the interest which accrues from the scholars' savings banks at khi} eleuientary schools There is a revivol in plUow-Iace making in the counties of Bucks, Berks, and Oxford. Kncouragonient has b- cu given to the work of late by olTering prizes at {!ower-L,hows for choice pieces of Uonie-made lace. The London cab business has be<?n Beriously afYected by electric trams am! 'buses and tube railways. Cab ewners say they are losing by the reduced sum now paid by the drivers for the vehicles, and the men fay they cannot pity more. The masters declare that they ca.n, and threaten to fix taxiimetcrs in thu cabs to reg- ister the fares and thus record the jaen's takings. Masters and m-m will ineet shortly to discu.ss the position of affairs. The motor-cab is making Blow progress in J_,ondon. Kich Americans in London arc having many appeals to their char- ity from their poorer countrymen ajid countrywomen who (ind them- eelvcR stranded in London, and want to get back to America. There are many Americans of both sexes mho lind it impo.ssible lO maiie a boped-for living in London, and nho cannot raise the money for 1 h^ii' lare to America. Consonuenlly, they have either to face starvation er ask for help from the holida.y- making Americans. There are liter- ally hundreds of those luckless men and women in London. The.v haunt the neighborhood of the big hotels most favored by Americans. The approaches to the Carlton, Russell and Savoy are also well watched by the exiles, and there are few well- known Americans whose purses have not been opened to the demand for "just enough money to get mo baclc homo." A great number of ca.ses of "word blindness" have been brought to light since the London County Coun- cil, as the education authority, in- structed head teachers to submit to the medical otficer every child of the ago of seven years who appeared to bo sulTering from this peculiar con- dition of the eyes. Calling atten- tion to the subject in the "Ophthal- moscope," Dr. C. I. Thomas states that nearly one in two thou.sand of London elementary school chiklren has "word blindness" to a conKider- able degree. He instances the case of a boy aged seven, clever in nil handiwork and bright and intelligent who doclarod that the written word, '"not" stood for "one." "Bud.s" he read as "branch," and "horse" he could not read at all, as he mistook Ihe "r" for "b." He recognized oil these words, however, when spelt aloud. ♦ HELD UP BY BRIGANDS. Englishman's Odd Adventure on a Motintain. Mr. Charles H. Ilawcs, who has re- turned to England after a four months' scientific tour in Crete, has narrated the following exciting in- cident: "My servant and I were with ditll- culty getting the mules, down the pre- cipitous side of a great gorge wh';n VIC were ambushed by two armed men, wild shejiherd folk from the mountain. I was absolutely unarniicd and rather taken aback when lo.v Bervant called to mo in Greek, "They are going to tire, sir," and looking «p beheld two muzzles pointed at me at a distance of about a dozon yards. "It was money they wanted; a hundred napoleons (iiSO) thi-y de- manded; but as 1 was not inclined to negotiate and it was impos.siljle to e.'icapc, I adopted the obvious alter- native and continued the diflicult da- acent. It was slow work, and aft.T a few yards, calls, followed U.y BtoMcs, and then bullets, were sent after me. The first four shots wore wide, and three times thoy clambered down to get nenrer aim, and with better "elTect, for the last six fractur- ed rocks at my elbow, und the spli i- :ters brushed ni.v forehi-ad. Thi.ir uhooting was certainly bad. "Finall.v, after sundry di.sputcs and renewals of our journey, the.y brougnt their demands down with Oriental Buddennoss to i^X, which I met with an olTer of 8s. 4d. Unfortunately m.r | servant, who was ahead, was made to disgorge his purse, tlie other rob- ber meanwhile covering mo v, ith his .rillo at six yards and daring ma to ;movrt."

DIXON'S EHEUMATISM. He Was so Bad He Had to Use a Sticlc to Walk and Could Not Lace His Shoe. Barwick, Ont., Nov. 6. -(Special). â€"The.se cold, wet fall days are full of Rheumatism and nothing can bu more timely than news of au elVectu- al cure of that curse of the Canadi- an climate. Such a cure Wiiliani John Di.xon of this place is certain he has discovered in Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I had an attack of typhoid fev- er," says Mr. Dixon, "and after I got over it Rheumatism set in. I had pains in my back and in my right hip so bad I had to use a stick to walk and had no comfort in sleeping. I could no more than dress or undres.s myself for nearly two months, and foi throe weeks I could not lace my risjht .shoe or put my rig-ht leg on my left knee. "Acting on my brother's advice I began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and after taking three boxes I was able to walk around and do my work. Now I am well and I recom- mend anyone who has Rheumatism to try Dodd's Kidney Pills."
