Our reporter heard of Mrs. Garrity's illness and cure, and for the benefit of our readers investigated the case; what he learned is well worth re- sting. "A few years ago Mr. Garrity 'ept a well known hotel at Chelter- ham and “us known far and “'lde for his kindness and hospitalitv; his wife. too. was noted for her zuniability. How- ever, she was stricken with a peculiar sickness. her health failed. rapidly and from one hundred and forty-seven ipundsher weight became reduced to ninety-five pounds. Faintingspells be- came frequent.a.ndaconiinual pain in the back of her head almost drove her frantic. Physicians were in atten- dance, but the doctors all said there wus‘no hope. Mrs. Garrity saw death staring her in the face, and the thought of leaving her little children caused her much sadness. She was advmsd to try Dr. .Wllllams’ Pink Pills, but thought they could not posSibly do her an cod, when phyâ€" sictans had failedy go alleviate her sufferings. Hoping, however, almost against hope, she procured a supply, and wonderful to relate, she had not been taking Pink Pills long when the dreadful symptoms of her illness be- gan to pass away, and to-day she is the picture of health. A few' months ago Mr. Garrity and family removed to_ Orangevills, and in conversation with our representative Mrs. Garrity said:â€"-- “I cannot find words to ex- ress my thankfulan for what Dr. Villiams’ Pink Pills have done for me. \Vhy it is almost miraculous. I wish that everyone who is suffering as I was will hear of this remedy. We al- ways keep a box of the Pink Pills in the house." - OUTâ€"OF-DOORS. Summer with a lavish hamd scatters beauty over everything, yet there are countless men and women who View this glorious nature with apparent in- difference or plod along utterly unconâ€" scious of the beauty that exists about them. \Vhy is it that people living close to Nature fail to appreciate the myriad of blessings and pleasures she affords? It is a mystery that the city dweller finds inexplicable. for it. seems that no one. however uncultured. could live in the country among the trees, the. birds and flowers without experi- encing in some degree an exaltation which nothing else could produce. But there are many who do not take heed. 'lb them all seasons are alikeâ€"dull, monotonous meaniin Lesa.

Life is to them a ceaseless, hopeless grind, and all this beauty is passed heedlessly y. Even constant association should fail to make one blind to Nature's bounty. The grandest paintings can never rival her or colors; neither was there ever chorus nor orchestra sweeter than the little feathered musicians of the woods, and the busy insect. aworld affords pro- fitable enjoyment to him who will but observe and learn. All this can be en- joyed without cost. or effort. \‘l'hat an inexhaustible fund of pleasure it af- fords him who can appreciate the prac- tical lessons he is being taught in hot- any, entomology, ornithology and per- ha other sciences. . gm anything be more delightful than some quiet retreat in the woods with an interesting book for a companion!

The offer one hundred dollars for guests leit burnings over small points of etiquette. Lille plates in the royal procession, the seats at banquets, and the order in which the urawing-rwm at Bucking- ham Palace is entered are details which have to be settled with nicety of Judgâ€" ment. The claims of a grand duke from llusSia. an archduke from Austria and princes from ltaly, Germany and other continental courts have to be considâ€" ered in detail and adjusted in accord- ance with recognized principles of pre- cedence of etiquette. The court official whose will is law in these matters is Lord Lathom, the lord Chamberlain. He is a clearâ€"head: ed courtier, with thorough training and excellent temper, and has pre- cise knowledge respecting the require- ments of royal eti uette. When he is in don 't he consults with the Duke of Portland. master of the horse, and with the Duchess of Buo- cleauch. mistress of the robes. Every place is reserved. and every detail con- nected with royalty could have been settled only after prolonged discussion at court. Vienna once had the reputation of having the most intricate court etiâ€" quette in Europe. and Paris “as nearâ€" ly as exacting in this respect. . ’l‘he traditions remain in Vienna, but the imperial family is now Weak in num- bers and the court functions are less stately and ceremonious than in form- er times. He ublican simplicity is the order of the ay in France, and court etiquette in Berlin is reduced to the precision of military red tape. In the lsnglish court great attention is paid to points of dignity and prece- dence. The Queen's Jubilee has pro- bably set the style for the continental courts in royal ceremonials. The Queen herself regulates many of the details of court etiquette. and insists upon having close attention paid to the smallest points. These things seem of petty conseâ€" quence, but in monarohlal countries they are the growth of centuries. More- over, it should be remembered that many princes are personally very orâ€" dinary people, and might pass unnoticâ€" ed in a crowd but for the distinction. which birth gives them.
