THE DAILY WHIG, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8. AFTER YEARS JOSEPH ROCHETTE RELEAS- ED FROM RHEUMATISM Sasa Suffered Much Agony, His Appe- tite Failed, and His Strength Left Hinr--Hope For Similar Sufferers. Only those who have suffered from the pangs of rheumatism know how much agony the sufierer has at times to endure. The symptoms often vary, but ambng them will be found acute pains in the muscles and joints, the latter sometimes much swollen. At times the patient is unable to dress himself, and the slightest jarring sound aggravates the pain. Lini- ments and. outward applications can- not possibly cure rheumatism; it must * be treated threugh the blood, and for this purpose there is no medicine yet discovered can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When given a fair trial, these pills never fail to cure even the most stubborn cases of rheumatism. Joseph Rochette, a well-known resi- dent of St. Jerome, Que., in an inter- view with a reporter of L'Avenir du Nord, otiers strong proof of the value of Dr. Williams™ Pink Lills in cases of this kind. Mr. Rochette says : For nearly three years 1 was a great suf- ferer irom rheumatism. 'lhe pains seemed at times to aliect every joint, and the agony 1 endured was terrible. Sometimes 1 could scarcely move about, and was unfitted for work. The | trouble afiected my appetite, and in this way my weakness increased and my condition became more deplorable. | tried a number of remedies, but no- thing helped me until 1 was advised to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and then relief came. Gradually the pains left me, my appetite improved and 1 became greatly strengthened. Before | bad taken a dozen boxes my health and vigor was such that I felt better than I did 'before the trouble began. 1 have not since had an ache or 'pain, and 1 feel convinced that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best mediciné in the world for rheumatism." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold in every civilized land, and their enor- mous sale is due entirely to their great merit as a medicine. They cure all such troubles as rheumatism, sciatica, locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, nervous headache, kidney ailments, neuralgia and the weakenepsess that afliict so many women. Do not let any dealer persuade you to try some- thing else which he may say 1s "ust good." that the full name Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," is on the wrapper around every box. If in doubt, send direct to The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont., and the pills will be mail- ed post paid at 50c. per box, or six boxes for $2.50. as See, "Dr. THINGS THEATRICAL.

Another Biblical play, "The Judg- ment of King Solomon," is attracting considerable notice at the American Theatre, New York. It is bv Dore Da- vidson and built ;around an historical episode in the life of Ring Solomon. "The Xilver Slipper" that John C. Fisher tried on Upper Broadway. New York, last week, had a patent gloss that bids fair never to expire. It is a mirthful little "musical play," very much along the lines of "Florodora. Montreal audiences were moved to tears by "The Sign of the Cross, last week, and. handkerchiefs» were freely used. There is still some hope lett for the people of the metropolis. They are not so hardened as she Toronto natives. Theatrical matters in London rather quiet last week. The latest pro- duction is 'Captain Kettle," at the Adelphi. This house, formerly the home of melodrama, bas been unior- tunate since it, abandoned "that class of play. "Captain Kettle' is a superi- or kind of melodrama, and contains much that is amusing.

Dr. Christopher Nyrop, professor of pnitology at the University ot' Lo penhagea, has just written a curious: book which is causing a good deal of talk in kurope. it is entitled "History of hissing," and is the fruit of long study on this interesting subject, the author having searched in all pussible quarters for the necessary material. In delning a kiss he quotes Verlane who says: "A Kiss is the accompani- ment which is played on the keyboard of the teeth when love signs to an amorous heart." He quotes a Latin epigram, which says : "What is sweet- er than wite ? 'Lhe dew of heaven. And what is sweeter than dew? Honey And what is sweeter than honey ? Nectar. And than nectar: A kiss. ' About the sound made by a kiss he has unearthed many curious sayings. Johannes Jorgensen says: lhe beat- ing of the waves against th is fike the sound of long Kisses gaard, in a story, remarks : We heard all the evening a' sound as though some one was striking at ues, yet it was only the Kisses of the loving cou- ple." Still more unfeeling is the Ger- man expression : "The kiss sounded as though a cow was drawing her hind leg out of a bog," and almost as heartless; as this is the Danish phase : 'He made more noise when he kissed per than is made when a cows horns | are struck offi." Prot. Ayrop spent much time trying to tind out how women regard kissing, and became convinced that at one point at least they all agree -namely that men with beards are far prefera- ble to-all others. In an old Kouma- nian ballad a hero says: "1 am too young to marry, for my beard has not yet sprouted. What married wo- | man would kiss me ?" According to a German proverb, "A kiss without a beard is an egw with- out salt." In Holland and Jutland young women are of the same opin- jon, for they claim that "Kisses are no good unless they taste well and are sweet." They &lso say that Kissing a man who has no beard is like kiss- ing a mud wall." On the other hand, Prof. Nyrop says that women as a rule dislike to kiss men whose mouths are moist. That any harm is done by kissing the author does not believe, and he brings forward much testimony as a proof that he is right. Thus the lta "A mouth is not the worse lian says : and a French poet for being kissed," asks "Bah! What are two kisses !" Only two bullets have missed the mark !"" a Norwegian song says: "Johonuesen kissed the girl once, twice on the mouth, and each time she was glad of it." According to a (German proverb, 'The place where one has been kissed may be wiped, but the fire in the heart cannot be quench- ed." . : ' Prof. Nyrop lays that stolen kisses The Spaniards say your mother scolds you, dear girl, be- 'cause vou have let a man kiss you, vive him his kiss back, and then she will have to close her mouth." -- ANTAGONISM TO HUNTING. stress on the fact are the sweetest. on this point : "If Some People Doubt the Propriety of Fun. New York Times. All votaries of they know it or not, be on tho defensive. Unce, and not long ago, the hunter took pride as well as pleasure in his avocation, and hunting, whether are or soon will it never occurred to him that he might be criticized as cruel or san- guinary--so long;"that is, as he ob- served the rules as laid:down by, his fellow hunters and killed in due 'sea- son and in 'the recognized ways. Now; however, when hardly. any- body can truthfully claim to hunt for the sake of what he brings home, and "sport" is the admitted object of al- most every hunter's efforts, a good not very sentimental people are have their doubts about the entire propriety of this sort of fun, while the professional zoophilists simply Tan against it. - The antagonism . to hunting, such, is undoubtedly growing, and no- many beginning to as thing will hasten its increase more than shooting of the sort in which the house party collected this week at Shelburne Farms by Dr. W. Seward Webb is engaging. "There is," we read, "an unusually large number of phea sants in Dr. Webb's private grove this and the sport promises to be good. A corps of men have been se cured to frighten the birds from their covers, and they will be shot as they fly from place to place." One doesn't have to be a year, "crank" or even a sentimentalist to regard with disapproval, if not with disgust, "sport" of that sort. To "the titled Englishman among the doctor's guests it is presumably all right, they being used to the wholesale destruction and subsequent sale--of carefully rear- od and mote or less tame birds, but it is a kind of hunting to which few Americans have accustomed themselves --:to which few desire to become ac: customed. : The reputation of hunting have known'it is not quite sale, even without affairs like this one, but with them it is in really great peril, and the old-fashioned desCendants of our early Nimrods should be on their as we, guard and make their position and opinions plain. een Took.

One man, who came from the Twin Cities, told a sad story of frozen water pipes and other house- hold' inconveniences occasioned by the frigid weather there one February. An- other recounted a tale of suffering en- | dured by men and beasts on a North Dakota "prairie during a blizzard. Stories were thus told until five of the group had contributed instances upon the subject. There was a pause in thé conversa tion until an Irishman, who sat a little apart from the others. quietly smoking a pipe remarked, "Well. the | coldest winter Oi iver put in was wan ' symmer in Duluth." = A Story Of King Edward. A ragged little match-boy was ply- ing his trade one day in Piccadilly with but scant success. All"the men who passed seemed already provided with his wares, and he was just cone sidering the advisability of changing his quarters when he saw a gentleman coming towards hin. with an unlight- ed cigar in one hand, while his other was groping vainly in his waist-coat pocket for the w herewithal to light it!

The wentleman laughed heartily, and with a irienaly noi to "Matches," proceeded on his way. But the acquaintance thus begun did not end there. Un several other occa- sions the gentleman came unexpected- ly across the child, whom he had playfully picknamed '*Matches," and never without pausing to speak a kind word and drop a coin into his hand. "Well, voung imperence,"' said a policeman one day, as the ventleman passed on after a somewhat lengthy conversation with the boy, "what have you got to say to the Prince of Wales, I'd like to know ye Matches looked contemptuously the man of law.

From that day. "Matches" simply haunted the vicinity of Marlborough House, and when by chance he was fortunate enough to see his adored prince enter or leave its imposing por- tals, his satisfaction was complete. \ see One dark evening some months later the prince. was just entering the gates on foot when he heard a loud shout ol warning, followed by exclamations of horror, and turning hastily in the direction, saw, irom - a fast-gathering crowd, that somethiig had occurred. With the sympathy so characteristic of "our royalties, he told the-police- man on duty to lind out what had happened. . The man returned in a few minutes, and reported that it was a little match-boy who haa been run over by a cab. A look of anxiety overspread- the prince's face, and he bade the officer see that.the lad was well carea for at the nearest hospital. "And," he added, as if by an after- thought, 'find out his name and, let me know how he goes on." Some days afterwards : Matches," looking very white and delicate, ana unusually clean, was lying quietly in his .- cot at the hospital when the purse, who appearca much excited and flurried, came running hastily in to tell him that no less x personage than the Prince of Wales had come to in- quire after him, and was even then on his way upstairs. And before she had time to .give the pillows an extra pav and smooth the coverlet, the prince was by. the bedside. Fo "describe the emotion of the poor little boy at this extraordinary mark of consideration and kindness irom his future sovereign would" be impos- sible. The kindly prince seated him- seli by 'the bedside and talked long and paternally with the little patient, telling him how he had been present on the night of his accident, and how he had missed him from his stand, until 'Matches shyness had utterly disappeared, and he chatted away with as much fréedom and abandon as though he had been addressing his own father. "Anc¢ what hook is got 7" said the prince, taking brilliantly-covered ( picture book the table by the bed.
