Competition in the present day is keener than ever it was. Perâ€" haps the advice given fifty years ago in Blackwood’s Magazine may have been the foundation of the fortunes of some of our millionaires and mill- tiâ€"millionaires. However, we repreâ€" duce it for the benefit of the rising generation : "To get on in this world, yon must be content to be always stop- ping where you are; to advance, you must be stationary; to get up, you must keep down; following riches is like following wild geese, and you must crawl after bot-h on your belly; the minute you pop up your head, off they go whistling before the wind, and you see no more of them. If you have not the art of sticking by nature, you must acquire it by art; put a couple of pounds of bird- lime upon your office stool, and sit down on it; get a chain round your leg, and tie yourself to your count- er like a pair of shop scissors; nail yourself up against the wall of your place of business like a weasel on a. barnâ€"door, or the sign of the spread eagle; or, what will do best of all, marry an honest, poor girl without a penny, and my life for yours if you don’t 'do business ! To do any good, I tell you over and over again you must be a sticker. You may get fat upon a rock, if you never quit your hold of it.” +___.__( "lllll Hill than in ND lllSTlKE WHAT SIDION V. LANDRY HAS TO SAY OF DODD’S KID- NEY PILLS. He Was Weak, Run Down and a Total Wreckâ€"Three Boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills Put Him to Work.Again. River Bourgeois, Richmond Co., Que, Oct. 5.â€"(Special).-â€"â€"Simon V. Landry well known here, adds his testimony to the thousands of others all over Canada who owe their health and even life itself, to Dodd’s Kidney Pills. “I was bothered for over a year with Lame Back, Weak Back, Palpaâ€" tion of the Heart and General Weakâ€" ness,” says Mr. Landry. “In fact, I was a total wreck. I could not work as I got tired and weak so easily and I had a weakness in my stomach so that I could not bend down to do anything. "I had tried different kinds of medicine without benefit till I gave Dodd’s Kidney Pills a trial. From the first they did me good and I had only ta’ken three boxes when I was able to start work again. They 'did me good and no mistake." Dodd’s Kidney Pills are known by their cures in every corner of Can- ada. They cure the Kidneys. Sound Kidneys ensure pure blood. Pure blood means good health, cheeriulness and abundant energy. That’s how Dodd’s Kidney Pills make new men and women out of run down, worn out people. _.____{.___.__ H'E IIADN'T BEEN INTRODUCED. 'A good-natured young fellow was at a rustic picnic and rashly spoke to a young lady without the formal- ity of an introduction. I-Ie happenâ€" ed to see a fat cateitpillar crawling on her lace collar, and, stepping toâ€" wards her, said :â€" "Mizudam, permit me toâ€"â€"” But the young lady waved him off with an imperious and insulting ges- ture, and said: v "How dare you speak to me with- out an introduction ? You are cer- tainly no gentleman, sir.” l-i‘ere the caterpillar oiverbalanced itself and fell on her neck. “Oh! take it oll‘! Oh, please do take it off, somebody l” screamed the lair one. ' The young man was the only “somebody” about, and he said : “I. couldn’t think of it, maidain ! I haven't been introduced to the catâ€" Enpillar.” l-lllS HOPE OF .WL‘INING. .After the old gentleman had in- vited the young man to be sealed the latter coughed once or twice to clear his three. and then bluntly suggested that he wished to marry the old gentleman‘s daugl'lter. The old gentleman didn’t wish to be too ready to give his consent, but he admitted after a few minutes he thought he had no objections. “That's just the trouble,” pro- ;tested the young man disconsolately. '“If you’d only oppose it and order me out of the house once or twice and buy a bulldog I’d have some sihow of getting her.” ' Tille TO DISMOUNT. General "Phil" Sheridan was at one time asked at what little inciâ€" ‘dent did he laugh the _1nost. i “Well,” he said, "I do not know, There are very few cleans. lng operations in which Sunlight Soap ‘cannot be used to advant- age. it makes the home bright and clean. 13 . t-f W RUN BY MOUSE POWER. A Scotchman’s Scheme for Opera- ting His Mills. Thrift is generally acknowledged to be one of the leading characterisâ€" tics of the native of Fifeshire, Scotâ€" land, and it never was more forcibly exemplified than in the person of David Hutton, a native of Dunferm- line, who actually proved that c.Ven mice, those acknowledged pests of mankind, could be made not only to earn their own living, but also to yield a respectable income to their owners. About the year 1820 this gentle- man actually erected a small mill at Dunfermline for the manufacture of threadâ€"a mill worked entirely by mice. It was while visiting Perth prison in 1812 that lVIr. Iliutton first conceived this remarkable idea of utilizing mouse power. In an old pamphlet of the time. "The Curiosâ€" ity Coffee Room,” he gave an ac- count of the way in which the idea dawned on him. “In the summer of the year 1812,” he wrote, "I had occasion to be in Perth, and when inspecting .the toys and trinkets that were manufactured by the French prisoners in the depot there, my at- tention was involuntarily attracted by a little toy house, with a wheel in the gable of it that was running rapidly round, impelled by the in- significant gravity of a common house mouse. For one shilling I purchased house, mouse and wheel. Inclosing it in a handkerchief, on my journey homewan I was compelldd to contemplate its favorite‘ amuse- ment. But how to apply half-«ounce power (which is the weight of a mouse) to a useful purpose was the difficulty. At length the i'rransufacâ€" tuning of sewing thread seemed the most practicable." Mr. Hlutton had one mouse that ran the amazing distance of eighteen miles a day, brut‘he proved that an ordinary mouse could run ten and oneâ€"half miles on an average. A halfpenny’s worth of oatmeal was suflicient for its support for thirty- ii.ve days, during which it ran 736 half miles. He had actually two mice constantly employed in the making of sewing thread for more than a year. The mouse thread mill was so constructed that the common house mouse was enabled to make atonement to society for past offenses by twisting, twining an’d reeling from 100 to 120 threads 3. day, Sundays not excepted. To per- form this task, the little pedestrian had to run ten and one-half miles, and this journey it performed with ease every day. A halfpenny’s worth of oatmeal served one of these t’hread mill culprits for the long perâ€" iod oflive weeks. In that time it made 3,350 threads of twentyâ€"five inches, and as a penny was paid to women for every hank made in the ordinary way, the mouse, at that rate, earned ninepence every six weeks, just one farthing a day, or seven shillings and Sixpence a year. Taking Sixpence off for board, and allowing one shilling for machinery, there was a clear profit from each mouse of six shillings. Mr. H‘utton firmly intended to apply for the loan of the empty cathedral in Dunferm- line, which would have held, he calâ€" culated 10,000 mouse mills, sufficient room being left for keepers and some hundreds of spectators. Death, howâ€" ever, overtook the inventor before this marvellous project could be carried out. DAZED, BUT NOT CONQUERED, Eastern Manâ€"Talking about hail storniis, the East is still ahead. Why, sir; only a month ago hailstorms fell here as big as eggs. \l’bsteru Man (off his guarid)â€"Eh ? What‘s that ? Big as eggs ? Eastern Man (calmly)â€"â€"Yes, sir; big as hen eggs, sir.

F. have been adding exâ€" ceedingly rapidly to their accumulat- ed funds for a long while, but few expected that in 1903 the increase in those funds would be so great as they have been, we venture to say. During the months of July and August the Order added nearly $220,â€" 000 to its assets. or in other words almost a quarter of a million dol- lars. The excellent financial posiâ€" tion of this institution may be seen from the fact that each day while it ‘pays out to widows and orphans about $56,000, it lays in its treasury over $3,000 in order to meet future emergencies. This is a condition the value of which will be appreciatâ€" ed to the full by business men. ’l‘he' Order has added rapidly to its mem- bership, having considered this year about 30,000 Medical Papers. The genius, ability and foresight of Orâ€" onhyatekha, the Supreme Chief Ranger in laying in a broad and safe manner the foundations of the Order, are now bearing their legiti- mate results. GETTING RID OF RATS. After all other remedies fall, there still remains a way of getting rid of rats, and that is by depriving them of water. They can live for a long time without food, and when hard pressed will not hesitate to eat each other, but no rat can go tWenâ€" tyâ€"four hours without drink. ‘hereâ€" fore, if every possible means of ob- taining water istakcn from the rats they will desert the vicinity.
