“yrâ€"a ...__.... HE TELLS THEM TO ASK THE 1.0.F JOHN J”. BURNS CURED BY DODD’S KIDNEY PILLS. He Had Chronic Inflammation of the Kidneysâ€"Says His Brother Foresters can Tell‘ all About Darnley, P.E.I., April 17â€"«(Special) --John J. Burns, a prominent meniâ€" her of the I. O. F. here, whose cure of Chronic Inflammation of the Loins and Kidneys caused a sensa- ’ tion some time ago, reports that he is still in splendid health. “Yes.” says Mr. Burns, "my cure is entirely satisfactory. I have had no trouble since I used Dodd’s Kidney Pills. They drove away the disease from which I suffered for eight years. “No, I’ll never forget Dod-d’s Kidâ€" ney Pills. The doctor could not help me. I got so bad I could scarcely Walk, sit or sleep. I was about to give up entirely when an advertiseâ€" ment led me to try Dod‘d’s Kidney Pills. Now I am in good health. Dodd’s Kidney Pills saVed my life.” If any one doubts Mr. Bu'rns’ story he simply refers them to his brother Foresters. They all know how he Suffered and that Dodd’s Kidney Pills cured him. ____+_._..___ ATLANTIC WHALING. __â€". Old Time Business Becoming Proâ€" fitable Once More. "Thar sh’ bloâ€"o-owsl” The ancient 01111, trumpeted by leathern lungs from cloud-aspiring "crows’ nests,” rings anew o’er all the time-honored “whale-grounds,” says a Province- town (Mass) dispatch to the New York Herald. As of yore, the New England "copper bottoms” come snoring homeward, bearing fat freight of “sperm” and ivory from far Southern seas. Again is profit accruing from a pursuit long deemed unrcmunerativc, for the Physeter family has multiplied apnea in re‘ cent years and sperm whaling is coming to its own again. I Some startlingly lucrative voyages have marked the progress of the bus- iness of late. The Morning Star, Canton, Sunbeam and others of the older ships have excelled their best previous records in point of phenoâ€" menally rich cargoes brought home to swell the bank accaunts of owners and officers. Even the smallest of the schooner class have “struck luck' and the renewed spectacle of lone Whalers “boiling” here and there over ' all the track of sea from the Azores South of Walfisch Bay, west coast of Africa, reminds us of the palmy days of the American whale fishery, when “spouts” were legion in all the Western ocean. Take the case of the schooner Eleaâ€" nor B. Conwell. That craft left Fay- al, where she had landed her previous catch, early in October, 1903, to cruise south. The hurricane that swept the Azores October 9 caught her in its track. and Stripped her of all boats, etc., driving her to Cape de Verde to report. Obliged to pro- ceed to St. Kitts, West Indies, to procure new boats and repair, she did not resume whaling until March, when she was rushed north to the Hatteras ground. She found whales there, and in 27 days after sighting her first spout. she was homeward bound, a full ship, reaching .New Bedford June 23, with 4-00 barrels of sperm, and the decks still bearing traces of the last out, the last whale having been taken only four days prior to arrival. The bark Canton, whose 16 months’ voyage, ending-fin Septem- ber, 1902, yielded 200 barrels of sperm. a record equaling the best of the palmy day voyages. The bark Sunbeam, too, whose catch of the voyage immediately pre- ceding‘is said to have been worth $65,000, was a prime favorite of fortune. this lucky box of a. ship reaching New Bcdford June 26 from a. 22 months’ trip with a grand total of 12,900 barrels sperm. almost the banner catch, time and quantity con- sidered. of the entire whaling record. _.___+_.___.

EXCeedingly novel races for both women and men resulted from the annual gymkhana, at Compiegne, near Paris. Perhaps the most diverting was the soda water running match, which had been arranged for com- petitors of the sterner sex. A't fixed distances along the course bottles of highly charged English soda, water Were plaCedâ€"four for each man. In order to win the race each bottle had to be opened in turn and the contents swallowed, it being a condition that none should be spilled to avoid the ordeal of drinking it. The spectacle of the competitors in their attemps to swallow a bottle of soda water at once proved highly diverting, several suffering temporarâ€" ily for their haste, although benefit- ing in. the end. They became so charged with gas that they felt as if they were bursting; and three of them were so discouraged by the ef- fects of the first bottle that they could not face the second, and forth: with retired from the race. What was described as an" orange race for young women proved an inâ€" teresting and attractive event. At regular distances of twenty yards from each other ten oranges were placad on the ground for EACH COMPE’I‘ING DAMSEL. These had all to be‘ picked up and brought back in the hands of the competitor to the finishing line. The difficulty of picking up an orange with several already in one’s grasp must be experienced to be appre- ciated, and the frantic efforts of the young women to pick up more than they could hold provided no and oil amusement for the onlookers. In the result several of the girls dropped every one of their captured oranges before reaching the winning point, and only two succeeded in carrying home the ten circles of gold- en fruit. ' But what seemed to be the most popular competition of all was the necktie race. In which the particiâ€" pants proper werc gcnflemcn, though the fair sex had not a little to do with their chances of success. The distance to be run was some 200 yards, and the competitors had all to start; with their neckties undone. At the end of the first 100 yards were stationed the young woman who had undertaken to assist in the raCe. What each competitor had to do was to run as speedily as he could to the particular girl who Was awaiting him, and kneel down before her while she neatly and properly tied his neck- tie. This done, he had only to get up and finish the race by covering the remaining 100 yards. ANOTHER NOVELTY was a basket and ball race for ladies. Each girlparticipating in it started out with a basket containing a dozen balls and attended by a more male. As she ran she had to throw out of her basket all these balls, one after another, while her knight in attenâ€" dance was to pick them up as nimâ€" bly as he could and return them to her. The first girl to succeed in getting to the winnig post with the twelve balls restored to her basket was to be the winner. In their scrambles after the balls some of the men out such ludicrous figures that the spec- tators roared with laughter. ' An exceedingly pretty race was the one for young girls, in which they truudlcd large wooden hoops which were fitted with spokes and gayly decorated with beautiful flowers. There was also a most eccentric raCe between a baby Warthog, a young ant bear, a kangaroo, a black goat, a monkey, a pet goose, a Bar- bary cheep, a tortoise, a. forty pound turkey, a bantam rooster, an Egyptian scarabaeus, and, most amazing of all, considering that each competitor was driven by its lady owner, a common little The monkey wrung the neck, the turkey swallowed own mouse! goose‘s the scarabacus, and the ant bear came in first. .__+._____ LIVE FOR ONE DAY ONLY. Don’t worry. It is neither manly, helpful, or business-like, and no good over resulted from the habit. Worrying can be overcome by exercisâ€" ing the willâ€"power. People of sensiâ€" tive minds worry over some trivial and thoughtless remark, and dwell upon it till it is magnified into a grievous and intentional insult. Past errors, and a gloomy anticipation of calamities to come are other forms of the unwholesomo habit. One of the best ways to deal with the many real causes of anxious thought is to be content to live just a day at the time. With that rich wisdom which Sydney Smith could command, he advised us to take short views of life. Each day is an entity in itself. It is rounded off by the gulf of sleep: it has its own hours which will never return; it stands separate with its own opporâ€" tunities and pleasures. John Wes- ley said he would as soon steal as worry-~each was equally a sin. And to worry is wasteful, foolish, and wicked. PI CKED MEN.
