•n^^fr^smi AN OVERSIGHT. As lulaaec •€ Ufe In Kacland Before i^lram and Trlrxritphjr. In hU "Forty Years in the English Post-Office" ISir. F. £. Ba-iuea teiU a «tlrriDg story which illostraces lbt> dif- feiVQce between the slow-pacinif old Hai-^ and the swift-going new. Sixty years ago the maiia were car- ried through England by ^coaches. At the princi{>al tuwna, four hijrsea, har- Hesaed, and tw^o-poet boys ready for the coai, weje aLwayi in waiting in caae of accidenC4a. On one ouoaaiou, when an important bill respecting the West Indies was be- fore Parliament, the packet (or tboea colonies was detained at Falmouth un- til tho decision shoold be niached. At last tike vote waii taken, and the baga containing deapatcbea and instructions from the Colonial office to the West Indian governors and oonsoJs came dow-n to Exeter, and am was auppoeed were all sent on by coach to Falmouth. In the middle of the night a porter was dismayed to find a huge leather portmanteau in a dark corner of the office. It was the tiag of despatches. In a twinkling a post-boy sprang on one uf the wailing horses, and ihut for- ward to warn all the poetinj? stariona on the hundred miles of road to Fal- mouth. Behind him followed at break- neck pace a c&aise and four with the liag. The mail coach had four and a half hours the stirt. The post-boy iasbed on, sounding his bom. Toll-gates flew open, fresh horses stood waiting for the chaise down through Devon and Cornwall. When the ihaisH reached Falmouth it had made up the four hours, but in the odd half-hour the mails had been carried on board the ship, and she was now under full sail, leaving the harbor. The post-boys flung the bag into a boat and gave chase. Pendennia Cast- le fired a gun. The packet unilerstood the signal, hove to, and the bog was Clung on bo&rd. This seems slow work to as now, when instructions can be cabled from l,ondon to the other side of the world In an hour. Yet away bock in still â- lower days we read of a monarch who, w^ben he would make known La halite an ewitct to hie kingdom, caused letters to be prepared and sent them by "rid- ers on mulee, camels and young drom- edaries." But after all, it is precisely the lama human energy that uses the cameL or the mail-coach, or the lightning. We have better tools than our brother one century or twenty centuries ago, but are we any better than bet Are we â- erving God or our fellow-men with greater devotion and keener perceptions of truth and lighl tluin h»' served rh'tn?

And what more natural than that these poor victims of disease thus released from suffering should deeire to aid in the extension of the knowledge of the means whereby they have been bene- fitted? Such a one is Miss Druscilla Shingler, of Krin. Ont., who tells a tale of pain endured through weary years, ana of final relief and cure through the use of Or. WUUan*' Pink PilU. the greatest medicine of the age. Mias Shingler 'says: Twelve years ago I became af- . flioted with rheumatism, from which I ' have suffered greatly. Two years I later this trouble was aggravated by a growth which starttsd in the throat. I and which each year became larger and i larger, until it finally l>ecame so bad I that I could hardly obtain any sleep, â- a when I would lie down it would fill my throat, causing a feeling of suffo- I cation. What I suffered is almost be- 1 yond description, and a!! the medi- cal aid I bad did me no good, and I was I told that I could only hope for relief I through the medium of an operation. I I dreaded such a cour.se and declined undergoing the operation. All this I time the rheumatism was taking a firmer hold upon my system, and I felt like giving up in despair. I lost the I poweir of my limbs and my hands got I so bad that I could scarcely hold any- thing. At this stage a friend, who i from personal erperieiice had strong faith in Dr. WiUiame' Pink Pills, bought me a supply and urged me to I try them. I thought I felt an im- provement after 1 had used a little more than a box, and after using them for a few weeks there was no longer room to doubt that the^ were helping me. I was taking the Pink Pills in the hope of finding relief from the rheuma- tism, but to my great joy I found that the medicine was not only driving this painful malady from luy system, but was also driving away the growth in my throat. The result was that after I had used about a dozen box^s of Pink Pills I was completely cured, and, al- though a considerable time has now elapsed, I have not had a recurrence of either trouble, and am enjoying the best of health. For the help my statement may be co others, I am only too glad to add my testimony to the lon^ list of wonderful cures, such as mine, tliat have been wrought by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink PUls. This greatest of nineteenth century medicines positively cures all troubles arising from a disordered or wo.ik state at. the blood, or shattere^l nerves. If you are fueling weak or depressed, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act as a prompt tonic, and if seriously ill no other re- medy can so promptly restore you to health an-'l strength. The genuine Pink Pills are put up m round wooden boxes, the wrapper round which bears the full trade mark, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Do not be persuaded to take some substitute.

A flock of 2,300 sheep were stampeded, and soon afterward two columns of them madly rushed together, causing the death of 360 of them. Their bodies lay in a pile six feet high.

Of late she has failed to supply the nor- mal quantity of millt; each morning she appeared to have been milked. Mr. Turner was inclined to attribute tho thieving to tramps, so he established a I watch with th>* following result: One ^day. while the cow was lying down, placidly chewing her cud. a little sboat was seen to walk up to her and delit>er- ately uruceed to nurse, with no signs of disapproval from tho cow. Other pigs near by, »e«ing what a cinch tho first one had, at once proceeded to em- ulate bis example. This rouaed the old cow to action, rihe eviilently rejected a syndicate. Rising to her feet, and lowering her horns, she drove all tho intruders to the other end of the field. Then coming back to her favorite, sh« stood directly over him so ho could ex- tract the lacteal liquid with more ease and without tear of distuj-t>anoe. UlS \\ ORDS STRUCK HOME.
