Here are two powerful instances of the varied ways in which Zam- Buk, the great herbal balm, is do- ing good throughout the Dominion. Have you yet enjoyed its benfit ? Baby Cured of Eczema. Mrs. L. Taylor, of Pine Ridge, Man., says: "I will never be with- out Zam-Buk in the ' house, as I have thoroughly proved it. Itcured irritating rash and eczema on my baby's feet during teething. Where there are children it is invaluable, as it heals their sores and injuries - in wonderfully short time. Trodden on by Horse--Bad Bruises. Mr. D. Cumming, oi Springmount, Ont., says: "I have proved that Zam-Buk has extraordinary merit. I was trampled on by a horse and my foot was all black and swollen. I could scarcely move it the pain was so bad. A few applications of Zam-Buk cured the pain and remov- ed the discoloration. The foot was soon all right again. It is. a won- derful balm." Zam-Buk is an all-round house- hold balm. It is compounded from purely herbal essences and cures ec- zema, ulcers, sores, chapped hands, bruises, cuts, burns, ete. It also cures rheumatism, sciatica, neural- gia, and rubbed well in over the chest in cases of cold removes the tightness and aching. All druggists and stores sell at 50c. a box, or post free from the Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, upon receipt of price. 6 boxes sent for: $2.50. The Montreal detectives have un- earthed what they think is a wide- spread burglary conspiracy. 'loe head of it is a man named Marjori- que Gagnon, a boot and shoe manu- facturer, in whose ibisos they found at least $5,000 worth of goods, from balls to jewelry. think is only a part of what the bur- glary syndicate is supposed to have taken. Another man, named Ishmael Bourrette, has been arrested also: The police lit upon Gagnon when looking up the records of men con- victed in .ae United States and now living in Montreal, in the hope tnat they might strike a clue which would help them to demic. They struck Gagnon's/ record and found he had served a long term in Sing Sing. A bottle of Bickle's Anti-Consump- tive Syrup, taken according to di- rections, will subdue a cough in a short time. This assertion can be verified by hundreds who have tried it and are pleased to bear testi- ~ mony to its merits, so that all may know what a splendid medicine it is. Tt costs you only 25 cents to join the ranks of the many who have been benefited by its use. A Southwark rector states that many unemployed in his parish find themselves unable to take advantage of railway work in Canada because they have to pay their fare. Several costly canvases, including pictures by Gainsborough and Reyn- olds, worth $80,000 were cut from their frames and stolen from Charles Wertheimers' house in London. 60 Specialists on the Case.--In the or- run of medical practice a greater number than this have treated cases of chronic dyspepsia and have failed . to cure--but Dr. Von Stan's Pineapple Tablets (60 in a box at 35 .cents cost) have made the cure, giving relief in one day. These little "specialists'. proven their real merit.--72 The 132 ships of the Spanish Ar- mada carried 3.165 cannon, and 34,000 seamen and soldiers.

Canadians who contributed to the fund to buy a challenge shield and othe: articles for H.M.S. Dominion, will be interested in learning of the presentation of the gifts to the battle- ship London, subscribed for by the ex-Lord Mayor, Sir John Pound, and the citizens of London. Lord Charles Beresford, commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean fleet, went in state to the London, and after inspecting the ship and the men delivered an ad- dress in which he dwelt on the great part played by citizens of London in the establishment of British sea pow- er. The admiral prefaced his speech with a characteristic reference to his inspection. "It has particularly pleas- ed me," he said, 'to see that the men looked me straight in the face. Men should always look their offi- cers in the eye, and stand up and be proud of themselves' Lord Beres- ford then, in the name of Sir John Pound, and the other donors, pre- sented the gifts, which were displayed upon the quarter-deck. They includ- ed: A silver challenge shield to be engraved with the names of the best gunners; a silk ensign; a ship's bell with chased silver brackets; a silver model of the Tower of London; two silver fruit dishes; and a cheque for £260 4s 1d to be used to provide gun- nery prizes. His Guess, "What would you do if you had a million dollars handed you?" "Well, of course I can't say precise- ly, but the probabilities are that I'd become mean and grouchy, break away from all my old friends and put in the rest of my life trying to skin mankind out of another million." Slandering a Saint, "Kifteen. years ago," sald the aged brother, addressing the congregation, "I gladly gave my heart to the Lord." "And that's the only cheerful gift he ever made," whispered, the deacon whose 'business it was to collect the a riptions. 2BREa] SubscEint ons. he i BY INDIGESTION. TORTURED Dr. Williams Pink Pills Cured Af- + ter Doctors Had Failed. Mrs. T. J. Tobin, 368 King street, Quebec, wife of the circulation man- ager of L'Evenement, is one of the best known and most estimable ladies in the city, and her statement that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured her of a very severe attack of indi- gestion will bring hope to similar "About a year ago I was seized with 'indi- gestion which had an alarming effect upon my health. Day by day my | strength grew less. I suffered from | terrible headaches, dizziness, palpi- tation of the heart and sleeplessness. I was in this condition for about six months. I consulted two doctors and although I followed their treat- ment carefully it did not help me in the least. Last October, seeing that instead of regaining my health Iwas growing worse, I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After I had taken the second box there was a change for the better, and after tak- ing the pills for a month longth the trouble entirely disappeared, and I am again enjoying the best of health. I have sq. much confidence in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I al- ways keep them in the house and take them occasipnally as a safe- guard." \ Just as surely as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mrs. Jobin's indi- gestion they can cure all the other ailments' which come fromm bad blood.

The name of castle for a country house is preserved in Ireland, rather curiously, for Ireland has not the vestiges of French customs: so notice- able in Scotland. The dullest little villa, so it be solitary in an Irish country place, bears that name, and the smile of the Saxon when he ar- rives and sees the castle is cheap and unscholarly, Where the Celt-- the female Celt, that is--does earn and deserve that slight sign of de- rision is in her practice with her visiting cards intended for London use.

A Good Name is to be Prized.-- There have been imitations of Dr. Thomas' Eclectric 0il which may have been injurious to its good name, but if so, the injury has only been temporary.

The publication of this most welcome discovery should enable modern scholars for the first time to form an independent judg- ment on the style and genius of the famous comic dramatist. -- London Athenaeum. Saved Dy a Cipher. The story Is told of how a neatly constructed cipher saved Sir John Tre vanion's life. This cavalier was taken prisoner and locked up in Colchester castle to await his execution. On the second day of his confinement the Jaiier brought him a letter, which, as far as the warder of the castle could discover. was merely a note of condolence from a friend. But the letter had been con cocted on a cipher to which Sir John had a clew. Every third letter after. a punctuation mark of any kind was tg tell. What he made out was this: "Panel at east end of chapel slides." On the following evening the prisoner begged permission to pass a quiet hour In prayer in the chapel. The request was granted, and before the hour had passed the panel had done its work and the bird had flown. : : A Bird Performer. Canaries and other tame birds are sometimes taught to perform tricks, but it always has been regarded almost an Impossibility .to train a wild bird. Andrew Hume, the famous Scotch bird lover, trained one of the wildest of Scotch birds to perform all sorts of remarkable tricks--to jump and keep time with the skipping rope, to per- form on the slack and tight rope, climb an upright rope, stand on top of a run- ning carriage, draw cards out of a box, mount a ladder and ring a bell, 80 round a wheeling stair step by step and fly to its owner's head when called upon. Fame and Fortune. hard." "Yes," answered the veteran practi tioner. "He is on the track of a dis- covery that will mean fame and for tune. He is trying to invent a new name that will make some old ailment fashionable." . ' Love Potions. Love potions as used by the peasants of lower Austria and Syria are gen- erally taken by the person who wishes to be loved. The common habit is to consume minute portions of white ar- senic, which will in a few weeks de- velop a thin, pale girl into a plump, rosy cheeked beauty. Great care has to be exercised in taking the arsenic or death results, and when the habit is once formed it usually lasts for life, 'since the body becomes uncomfortable and even diseased, showing all the symptoms of arsenic poisoning, if the habit is broken off., nf | Some of the eastdrn nations use love potions differently. If a girl loves a man and he seems cold, she contrives , to give him a drink of hasheesh, ob- tained from Indian hemp. The man's brain becomes fogged, and he is ready to believe anything that is suggested to him. The girl suggests to him that she is beautiful and thus compels him desires. The Human Electric Battery. , The superstition that human beings should sleep with their heads to the 'north is believed by the French to have for its foundation a scientific fact. They affirm that each human system is in itself an electric battery, the head being one of the electrodes, the feet the other. Tkeir proof was discovered from experiments which the Academy of Sciences was allowed to make on the body of a man who was guillotined. This was taken the instant it fell and placed upon a pivot free to move as it might. The head part, after a little vacillation, turned to the north, and the body then remained stationary. It was turned half way round by one of the professors, and again the head end of the trunk moved slowly to the car- dinal point due north, the same results being repeated until the final arresta- tion of organic movement. The Tobacconist's Effigy. One of the most peculiar things in the whole history of signs is the fact that while all other shopkeepers were patronizing the embryo painters the tobacconist always called upon the woodcarver on the continent as well as in England. As long ago as Eliza- beth's reign the wooden image of the black boy was the favorite sign of the tobacco dealers. Later the cus- tomary sign was the highlander or a figure of Sir Walter Raleigh. land, for some strange reason, the to- bacconists adopted the dairymaid as their sign, with the motto, "Consola- tion for sucklings." The Indian, nat- urally enough, has always been the predominant sign in this country, al- though once in awhile a reversion to type crops out with the ancient black boy. Dubious.
