~ -------- v ~nu) THEIR DUTY- IN EVERY CASE HOW DODD’S KIDNEY PILLS DANISH PAIN IN THE BACK. â€".. Cured Mrs. J as. -Murphy Everyone Else She Recommended Them To. and River Gagnon, Que, April 24â€" ;(Special).â€"No complaint is so com.- mon among women as Pain-in-theâ€" Back. It is a- safe estimate that fully half the women in Canada are afflicted with it. For that reason every evidence that there is a sure and complete cure in existence is thankfully received. And there is abundant evidence that Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills is just such a cure. This district could furnish a dozen cures, but one is enough for an example. The one is that of Mrs. Jas. Mur- phy. She says: “I suffered for thirtyâ€"eight months with a pain in my back. I took just one box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and I have never been troubled with the pain since. I also recommended 'Dodld’s Kidney Pills to other people, who complained as I did and in every case the Pills did their duty and brought relief.” ______.+_.__.__. “BRUISERS” BY THE DAY. iil?rotectors For Hire at a London Boxing School. There now exists in Bethnal Green an establishment where professional fighting men may be hired by timor- ous souls who desire “protection,” says the London Express. Naturally, this emporium for the supply of “bruisers” is not openly advertised, and those who wish to secure the services of a pugilist have to proceed by devious paths. Armed, however, with satisfactory credentials, a representative of, the Express called on the proprietor of ,the businessâ€"a gentleman of extreme- ly pugilistic appearance. At first the purveyor of “bruisers” was inclined to be reticient, but presently he took the representative of the Express inâ€" to his confidence. .“You would be surprised,” he said impressively, "to know how many members of Parliament come to me for 'protection’ during election time. They simply inform me, through their agen’ y'how many men they need to secure their safety at meetâ€"- ings, and so forth, and I send dOWn suitable men by train. When the general election comes we shall have our hands full, and not a man to spare. “Again, young gentlemen of the mobility, who have got into awkward positions and are likely to be black- mailed, seek my aid.’ If the man to be feared is a big man, I send a big man; if he is a little man, I send a. little man; so that when it comes to the fighting there is no quest-ion of bullying. I “All that my man requires is to be shown the man he has to deal with. He brushes against him in a bar or in the street; there is trouble â€"-and there you are. “For this sort of job our prices are very low, ranging from 5s. to £1, but, of course, there are some branches of the business which come more expensive. "For instance, many bookmakers lzlve two or three of my men always attached to them. Often, too, my lads are employed in law cases when witnesses have been intimidated. I have supplied them both to plaintiff and defendant}. ___.___+_.__._.. HONEST CONFESSION. A Doctor’s Talk on Food. There are no fairer set of men on earth than the doctors, and when they find they have been in error they are usually apt to make honest and manly confession of the fact. A case in point is that of an emâ€" inent practitioner, one of the good old school, who lives in Texas. His plain, unvarnis-hed tale~ needs no dressing up: “I had alWays had an intense pre~ judice, which I can now see was unâ€" Warrantable and unreasonable, against all mucth advertised foods. Hence, I never read a line of the nlany ‘nds.’ of Grapeâ€"Nuts», nor testâ€" .ed the food t-ill last winter. - “While in Corpus Christi for my health, and visiting my youngest son, who has four of the ruddicst, ,heulthicst little boys I ever saw. I ate my first dish of Grapeâ€"Nuts food for supper with my little grandsons. I became exceedingly fond of it and have eaten a package of it every week since, and find it a delicious, refreshing and strengthening food, leaving no ill effects whatever, causâ€" ing no eructatious (With which I was formerly much troubled), no sense of fullness, nausea, nor CllSâ€" tress of stomach in am; way. “There is no other food that agrees with me so well, or sits as lightly or pleasantly upon my stem- ach us this does.

The strength of heredity, both in wild and in domesticated animals. is brought into clear light by an infli- dent related in a, recent book, "In Search of a, Siberian Klondike.” The authors of the book were travelling by dog-team through the wilds of Siberia. At four o’clock in the afternoon the dogs suddenly broke into a swift run, and we knew they had scented something that interested them. We soon perceived that we had struck a deer train, and that we were nearing an encampment. We turned a, bend in the road, and there, a hundred yards ahead of us, we saw the cause of the dogs’ excitement. A team of reindeer were running for their lives. Their Tungus driver was lashing them with the whip, and was urging them with all his might, for he knew as well as we that if our dogs overtook them before the camp was reached, we seven men would be utterl;r powerless to prevent the dogs from tearing the deer to pieces. Our driver put on the brake with all his might, but it had not the least ef- fect. The fourteen dogs had become wolves in the turn of a hand, and no brake could stop them. There were many stumps and other obstructions along our way, and my driver had great difficulty in preVCntly a smashâ€" u . pFor a short time the deer held their own, and in fact gained on us; but before the yurta (village) came in sight we were gaining rapidly. While we were still at some distance the people of the village, warned by the cries of the dogs, comprehended what was the matter, and arming themSelves with sticks and spears, came running toward us. 'As they came on they spread out in a fanâ€" like formation across the trail. When the terrified deer reached the line, the men spread out and and let the team through, and instantly closed again to dispute the paSSage of our dogs. Our driver was nowise minded to let the natives club his dogs, and perhaps injure the valuable animals, so he resorted to the last expedient. Giving a shout of warning to me, he suddenly, by a deft motion, turned our sledge completely over, landing me in a snowâ€"drift on my head. In this position the sledge was all brake, and the dogs were forced to stop. They were leaping in their harâ€" ness and yelling like fiends incarnate. I sat up in the snow-bank and laughed. The other drivers had folâ€" lowed our example, and the strugâ€" gling tangle of sledgcs, harness, dogs and men formed a scene that to the novice at least was highly ludicrous The drivers and the village people were belaboring the dogs, and the entire herd of reindeer belonging to the village was escaping in all direc- tions up the hills. The reader may well ask how the natives can use both dogs and reinâ€" deer, if the sight of a deer has such a maddening efiect on the dogs. The explanation is simple. The two never go together. There is the dog coun- try and the deer country, but they do not overlap. Confusion is often unavoidably caused by travelling with dogs through a deer country, but the natives do not take it in ill part, knowing that if they them- selves have to travel with deer through a dog country they will Cause quite as much inconvenience. ___._.__..+â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"- GBEAT MEN 'AT THE TABLE. "A plague on your bill of fare! Show me your bill of company!” Such was the remark made by Swift when tempted to dine with Bolingâ€" broke by a recital of the good dishes which would be set before him. It is, nevertheless, a fact that great literary men of the past haVe shown strong desires for particular dishes.

Great as has been the amount of labor expended on the various Bibles of the world, the palm for execution must be given to the Kutho-daw, which is a Buddhist monument near Mandalay, in Burma. It consists of about 700 temples, each containing a slab of white marble, on which the whole of this Buddhist Bible, con- taining over 8,000,000 syllables, has been engraved. The BurmcSe alpha- bet is used, but the language is Full. This wonderful Bible is abso- luter unique. The Kuthoâ€"daw was erected in 1857 by Mindon-min, the last King but one of Burma. The vast collection of temples together form a square, with a dominating temple in the centre. Each of the marble slabs on which the sacred text is inscribed is surmounth by an ornamennt canopy in pagoda form. I tive. I where sucâ€" , lady to an attractive supper, wrote: Sang“... Soap mu .0.
