RT INFLUENCE. Example of (he Queen Is Reflected on the Whole Community. It is well that society should have its periods of : ntrospection. It is undergoing one jiiet now. When we speak of th moral condition of society at the present day it should be remembered that society is com- posed of all sorts and conditions of people as widely different as tihe Poles, says^ the Gentlewoman. First of all, there is the Court circle, and here the example of the Queen cannot but have a good in- fluence on all in immediate contact with her. Then there are many peopre with immense power in the land for good or evil whose power is closely connected with and depend"- ent upon the Thixwrie, therefore the conditions of life at Court are re- flected ihere to the benefit of tihe whole community.

And the has a reason. Here it is in her own words. "I suffered very much from my Kidneys." Mrs. Bour bonier re says. "I was tired and nervous and my memory was. failing. I had heart fluttering^, my back was sore and I was troubled' with headaches. Rheumatism was finally added to my Bufferings and I was in a bad way indeed. "I tried o>ne medicine, but it diid me no good, and 1 then I waa ad- vised to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I am. very g!>ad that I did. for now after taking four boxes I am a well woman again." Dodd's Kidney Pills cured Mrs. Bourbonierre because all her tTou- bles came from sick Kidneys. Sick Kidneys cannot do their work of strainiing tihe impuritie* out of the blood, and the result is sickne.ss, depression and latitude all over the body. Dodd's Kidoiey Pills cured the Kidneys : the purified hlood did the rest. * RABBITS RAVAGE FORESTS. Thousands of Trees West.

The Australians were put to the necessity of building a wire fence almost across their continent to protect their crops from the rabbit plague there. The Forestry Branch has a similar problem in protecting the forest crops in the West from devastation. It was once proposed to put a little wire fence around each tree planted, but a forest is not an orchard, and some more practicable preventive will have to be found for the annual destruction caused by rabbits on the thirty-six thousand square miles contained in Dominion Forest Reserves. f?*? e^w>ttsive. to: ittainV an, or, that the enormous Germa.n niiy<op|ts on,lo,-,hiLlf asJmich, aguin Brftih.iin's small..- Then the Civil Services, a.s they 60,000,000, o!d- jiage pensio.n.8, .twelv^-and a hall mil- ' I i. -us ;' a'iid j sB-iti^ twenty ' are <T)>*<nt,; an and museums. further^ John Bull, of iavwy$iv ; d'e'b i t. 1 Interest on loans, in fact, costs hin> no less than twenty-four a-nd a half mil- f charges wiwch 'he na.'i>t>o' f face may I be lyon^ioned the following : 4.- .600,000 t ' : intain aimba.ssadors and ! 47^000 : fur th? and bis household, Not At AIL and renchmani ationality, of a friend of theirs.

STORY OF KILKENNY CATS. BnrbarouM Act of Oin-Mj nf H<*s- MIHU Soldiers. During tihe rebellion which o:uir- red in Ireland HI 1797 Kilkenny was garrisoned by a regiment of Hes- sian BoldierH, whose custom it wa* to tie together wi on* of their b.r- ra<-k rooms two cats by their re- spective ta-ils, and then throw them face to face across a line generally used for drying clothes. The ca>ts naturally became infuriated, and scratched each in the abdomen un- til death etieued to one or both of tliem. The officers were made ac- quainted with the barbarous acts of cruelty, and resolved to peedily put a-n end to them. For this pur- pose an officer was ordered to in- spect each barra/ck room daily and to report its state. TOie soldiers, determined net to lose tihe daily tor- ture of t-he cats, generally employ- ed one of tJieir comrades to watch the approach of the officer. On one occasion he neglected his duty, and the officer was heard aKceindinfl the stairs while the cats were under- going their customary torture. One of the troopers seized a sword from the arm rack, and with a single blow divided the tail* of the cate. The cats escaped througtti the o-pen i windows of the room, which was en- tered instantly afterward by the 1 officer, who inquired what was the cause of the two bleeding cats' tatUs being suspended on the line, and was told in reply that "two cate had been fighting in the room, that it was found impossible to separate them, and they fought so desperate- ly that they had devoured each | other up with the exception of their j two tailV '' rClarK's - Porks Beans Highest grade Leans kept whole and mealy by perfect baking, retaining their full' strength.
