H A NEW INDIAN PROPHET. B Prollrllwiis Fiillitl. but llr t'i-ralr<l a Lol nf E\fil<-nieut. xlie growth of sects and heresies un- der our tolerant rale in India is more frequent than is generally known, for Hinduism is elastic enough quickly to absorb them, and they are still more short-lived when their leaders have been Christians. It is when thte religi- ous impostor heads a movement which threatens the ijeace of the country that we learn the curioas details. The latest event of this kind has oc- curred in the Bengal division of Chota, Nagpore, the aboriginal tribes of which have joined the Christian church. Ang- lican, Lutheran and Scottish Presby- terian by the thousand. Birsa, a lad of 20, who had lapsed from Christianity, was in the jungle with a companion, when a flash of lightning for a moment transfigured his face, and his friend sal- uted him as a god. Birsa returned to bis village, Chalkad, and proclaimed himself an incarnation who could work miracles of healing. His first case waa that of a ljabj<,who was perfectly well; he breathed upon it, declared he had cured it, and his fame brought thousands of the simple demon»-wor8hi[jers to his feet. Over every case of sickness he pronounced a charm.consisting of such headlines of an English primer as he ha<l read in the Lutheran school at Chaibasa. "Stul, •tore, stare, stale," was the favorite in- ' vocation. He admitted that Christian- ity was good but for two evilsâ€" the of- fertory in church, and the permission to wear l)Oots when at worship. He soon jyoclaimed the end of the world for a fixed day and hour; all were to be destroyed by fire and brim- stone except those who found refuge witi him. Money was therefore uaeloas, and the people were told to spend their all on clothea, with the result that the Eindu dealers could not supply the de- mand. The coming harvest would not be wanted; tlie cattle aoaordincly w«ra turned into the crops. AVhen thousands waited at high nooa on the fixed day for doom, and nothing occurred, Birsa tied a string between two trees and declared that the end would not come till that broke. Th« nearest English missionary who had tried to open the eyes of the deluded multitude, and feared a famine, then in- formed the British deputy commission- er at Ranchi, the county town. He sent a constable to arrest the impostor, but the cro%vd was too great. A whole posse of native constables followed, and bad to flee. Be then went oat hintr self, and Ity night arrested the prophet, who was sleeping in the midst oi his chosen followers. But by that time theire was the be- ginning of a rebellion such as, in Lord &lhiousie/s time, caused the Santel war la the neighboring hills. As Birsa went to jail he prophesied his returu in four days, and 7,000 men, whom he bad ordereid to arm themselves with axes, waited in vain. Now, afraid of the military ijolice under the white man, they are flocking to the chapels, eager to be recognized as Christians; but of this majority are expected to change their mind when their terror and de- lusion have disappeared with Birsa's long imprieoumeut in a distant place. A similar impostor ca,i<.ae4l what is known as "the war of the axe" among Kaffirs of South Africa. A PROFITABLE CAT.

For several years Mr. Fetch has lieen in bad health, has been an intense sufferer and was declared incurable by a number of phy- sicians and was paid a disability insur- ance of $1,500. Lately, to the astonish- ment of those who ha<l known that he | was pronounced incurable, Mr. Fetch | has been brought back almost to his , former health. This restoration he at- j tributes to the use of Dr. Williams' j Pink Pills, and knowing that his story ' would interest the readers of the Mon- j itor, a reporter was sent to interview him. The following is Mr. Fetch's nar- j rative as given the reporter : i " I had been sick for some years. I consulted in that time with no less than six of the best physicians I could find, | but none seemed to help me so far as ^ medicine wa** concerned. My limbs and i body were puffed or bloated so I could not get my clothes on.

I could not even 0|jen my mouth enough to receive any solid food, and I had to be fe<l with a spoon. I seemed to have loclcjaw. I could not get up or down the doorsteps, and if I fell dowrn I had to lie there until I was helped up. I could not get around without a cane and a crutch. My flesh seemed to be dead.

They said I had jial- sy on one side, caused by qiiiial .sclerosis, the effect of la grippe. You might roost me and I would not sweat. I was a meml)er of the Mutual Aid As- sociation of Toronto, and, as und{|»r their rule« I was entitled to a disabilt ity insurance, I made application fur it. 1 was examined b^ two dootors on be^ half of the Association and pronouno)- ed pemianemlly dij»bled and wa.s in due time paid my disability insurance of 91,500. This was about two years after I first took sick. Things went on in this way for a considerable per* iod, and my helplessness was, if any- thing, on the increase. I was contin^- uaily reading about the cures through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pilhs, and at last determined to try tb^m. Aft*- er using four or five boxes there was a change. It first made itself mani» test by my beginniiiig to sweat .freeily. I made up my mind to give them a thoixjugh trial and to my surprise 1 have gained in health and strength ever since. I take no other medicine except Pifik Pills. I lÂ¥,'gan taking (hem when all other mediiMnes and the doctors fail- ed to do me any good. I could not get off my chair without help. I never ex- pected to get better but Pijik Pills have rescued me from a living dteath, and now I am happy to say I can work aoid walk and get around finely. I eat heartily, sleep soimdly, and fei-l like a new man, and I ascribe the cause entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I cannot say too much in their praise and recommend them highly to all similarly aiflioted." The al»ve is Mr. Fetch's ungarnish* ed stjitemcnt of his case and we might ladd, we tnow him to be a re^jootable, reliable gentleman, who has nu int- terest in making the statement only to do good to otHers who 'mj^ht become luCflicted as he waa. This strong testimony proves the claim made tnat Dr. WUliains' Pi4iiki Fills cure when other medicines £ail, aaid that they deserve to rank as the greatest discovery of modern medical Bcieince. The public should always Iw on their guard against imitations and substitutes, which some uascnipiilous dealers for the sake of extra profit, urge ujjon purchasers.

NATURE'S METHOD OF CURING KIDNEY DISEASE. Kot l>v pill* aad Powili-m, but In itiii - aolvlag the Slanjr gHb<tnnr.-ii Tliai rrovo .lie Itcal Uoiit ol ilii. Trniiblr. ^ Everybody is talking about the pre- valence of Kidney Disease. Brigut'sdi- .soase., Diiilictea and other forms of kid- ney trouble, are striking at all kinds and conditions of people. It is non- sense to say that these conditions are int-urable. The trouble is in trifling with the disease and employing pills and powders and other nostrums, that are wholly lacking in the elejnents that are necessary to a cure. Where South Am- cricaji Kidney Cure has been used it is a rare exception thit a ciu-e is not effec- ted. It cures the most .iggravated cases, because it is & solvent that removes the uric acid and hardened particles that gather in the kidneys and blood. As Mr. Frank S. Emeriiik, of Alvinston, Ont., who suffered intense pain from kidney trouble for two years, says: "In a few hours from taking the first dose I began to find relief, and as a re- sult of four bottles I am to-day com- pletely well."
