Has Done So Much for Him. St. Elzear, Que., May 20.-â€"â€"(Spe- clanâ€"it. is a well known characteris- tic of our French Canadian people, that. they are fearless and enthusias~ tie in their praise of anything or anybody that has befriended them. No one is more capable of graceâ€" fully expressing gratitude than the average French gentleman. A recent case illustrates this point. Mons. Jean Boluue has for many years been afllictcd with a terrible malady of the Kidneys. . He suffered a very great deal of pain, and his disease forced him to rise every hour during the night. He was advised to use Dod-d’s Kid- ney Pills, and after taking a short treatment, found himself completely cured. His gratitude knew no bounds, and ever since he nas recommended to all his friends the wonderful remedy which cured him so promptly and completely. When he finds anyone who has no confidence in them, his first act is to give them some Pills, and'explain to them how to use them, and he has found this method very soor convinces the most skeptical of tin truth of the statement he makes that Dodd’s Kidney Pills are thr greatest medicine in the world. Mons. lioivue says 2 "Dodd’s Kidney Pills are good. “I know this because while at one time I sulTercd very severely from Kidney Disease, now I am well. “Not long ago I used to have 10 get up several times during the night now I can sleep well all night witln out rising. “You can believe me, I am glad to have regained my health, and I say thanks a thousand times to Dodd's Kidney Pills.” MW HIS MOTHER’S DARLING. "‘\Iy niece Mary was always a. wellâ€" mcaning girl, but she would say the wrong thing almost every time,” said one old gentleman to another; "and she’s got a boy that’s going to be her very counterpart.” The old gentleman’s eyes twinkled, and his plain, good-natured face Was puckered with enjoyment as he drew from his pocket-book a small sheet of note paper. "I sent Hal a toy monkey that plays all kinds of pranks when it's Wound up," said he, chuckling. “Sent it to him for his birthday. Now you listen to this letter of thanks I got from him toâ€"day. He’s just eight years old: _ “ 'Deer Uncle Ned,â€"â€"I am delitcd with the munkey, thank you. He makes me think of you very oi‘fen. And \vhenckcr momma winds him up and he begins to jump, mamma and I feel as if we were back at your house where all those toys are, and mamma will look at the munkey and say, ‘That's your 'Uncle Ned all over." “ ‘Goodâ€"bye from “ ‘your greatiull Hal.’ ” ____.+_.__ France pays for her paupers by means of a tax of 10 per cent. on all theatre tickets sold.

An intelligent sepoy one day came to a telegraph office in India and handed ~in a message to send to a station in central India. Having read the mes- sage, the operator said there was some- thing wrong. “No, sahib; me knows English,” he said. Again an attempt was made to explain to him that it was wrongly worded. “Me knows English," he declared haughtin and indignantly. “If you no send, me re« port Superintendent Mandalay.” Thus threatened, the message was forward- ed, “Come quick; father dangerously dead.” One Why to Cut Brass. To cut sl‘g‘t brass chemical-1y the fol- lowing method meets with great suc- ces: Make a strong solution ofxbichlo- ride of mercury in alcohol. With a quill pen draw a line across the brass where it is to be cut. Let it dry on, and with the same pen draw over this line with nitric acid. The brass may then be broken across like glass cut with a diamond. Pimplel. A great many persons are troubled with pimples on the face. which are un- sightly at best, and especially annoying when they come, as they often do, on the nose. Of course they arise from some impurity of the blood and need constitutional treatment, but until this is obtained a safe and easy way of pre- venting them is to apply arniea to the skin. A pimple never comes without warning. A few hours before there is always a slight inflammation or swell- ing. and if a drop of arnica be applied to the spot when the swelling begins half a dozen applications in the course of a day will drive the pimple back un- der the skin. The Obedient Child. There was once a little girl who found it very hard to wash her hands just before dinner. She meant to be clean for the table, but there was so many things to think of that it was impossible to remember. Her mother reproved her very severely one day, and she promised to do better. That day at dinner her mother asked the usual question, “Have you washed your hands, dear?” “Yes,” came the satisfied reply. Her mother looked smilingiy down at the little one's hands, and then she ut- tered an exclamation, for there was no sign that soap or water had been used on them. “Why. your hands are black." she said. "‘Didn’t you say you washed them ‘3" “Well, I just did. mamma. but I was afraid I‘d forget. so i washed them right after breakfast.”~ His Chance. Wickersâ€"l don‘t know what is the matter with me.

In his new volume, entitled “Now and Then,” which the venerable Dean Hole of Rochester has just issued, there are uany pleasurable anecdotes, a few old and many now. One of the most time- wern, but still one of the most tick- ling, is that about a jury at an Irish assizcs, most of whom when told by the Judge to go to their usual places forth- with walkcd into the dock. Another anecdote, bearing on the tem- perance question, is as follows:â€"-â€"-“John,” said a clergyman to one of his parish~ ioners, who had been in the habit pf tarrying long at the wine, “John, I’m pleased to see you’ve got a nice new pig. I know you’ve been wanting to buy one for a long time. How did you manage it at last?” “Well, sir,” said John, “I guv up makin’ a pig of myself!” But the Dean’s bcst tale is of a par- son who was in the habit of offering up the following prayer for Queen Adelaide:â€"â€"“O Lord, save thy servant. our sovereign lady, the Queenl Grant that as she grows an old woman she may become a new man; strengthen her with thy blessing, that she may live a pure. virgin, bringing forth sons and daughters to the glory of God; and give her grace, that she may go forth before her people like a lie-goat on the moun- talus.” has 10,000 inhabitants.
