' “Why I recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.” St. Andrew’s Manse. Cardigan, P.E.I., Jan. 1908. Though I have never been sick myself, and have not had occasion to use Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, I thought you ought to know of the remarkable cure they have wrought ianr.‘ Olding's case. During a visit to my home in Merlgomish, N. 8., some years ago, I was grleved to find our next door neighbor and friend, Michael Old- mghvery low. “He is not expected t? live,” my mother informed me, And you must go over and see him as he is liable to pass away at any moment." “Not expected to live," a that was the opinion not only of the doctor who attended him, but of his wifeand family as well. Upon Visiting him myself I found abundâ€" ant ev1donco to confirm their opin- 1011. ‘ Mr. Olding had for years been afflicted with asthma and bronchitis, but now. a complication of diseases was ravrshing his system. He had been confined to his bed for months and was reduced to a skeleton. Though evidently glad to see me, he conversed with the greatest diffi- culty, and seemed to realize that it was the beginning of the end. He was daily growing weaker; his feet were swollen to twice their natural srze, and the cold hand of death was upon his brow. “It’s no use,” he said feebly, “the doctors medi- cine is not helping me and I am go- ing down rapidly.” I prayed with him as for a man soon to pass into eternity, and when I took his hand in parting it was the last time I ex- pected to see him in the flesh. 'Three years later while on another yisit to my mother’s Michael Old- 1ng was seemingly in better health than I had ever seen him, for, as said, he had always been ailing. 1n sheer desperation he had asked his wife to get him Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. They soon began to help him. His appetite and strength heâ€" gan to improve, and to the astonish- ment of his family and friends he rapidly regained his health. New, though the-burden of well mall four score years is upon him, he is able to do a fair day’s work, and is in the enjoyment of good health, even the asthma has ceased to trouble him as in former years. . Mr. Olding himself, as well as his neighbors and the writer of. this letter, confidently believe that his rescue from the very jaws of death â€"seemingly so miraculousâ€"is due under the blessing of God to the timely and continuous use of Dr. ‘Williams’ Pink ruis. REV. EDWIN SMITH, MA. M‘r. Olding himself writes :-â€"â€"“I am glad Rev. Mr. Smith has written you about my wonderful cure, for I confidently believe that if it had not been for Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills I would have been dead long ago. It would be impossible to ex- aggerate the desperate condition I was in when I began to use the Pills. No one thought I could get better. I scarcely dared hope my- self that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills would bring me through, but they did. and I have ever since enjoyed good health. Though I am seventy- nine years old people are always remarking on how young I lookâ€"- and I feel young. I can do a fair day’s work, and I am better in every way than I had been for years. I cannot say too much in praise of Dr. Wilnams’ Pink I‘ills and I take every opportunity I can to recommend them to friends who are ailing.” deal more specific evidence will be ' ' i ' .

Quite a number of people in Bri- tain and the Colonies imagine they are entitled to some of the money which lies unclaimed in the Court (13f Chancery, says Pearson’s Weekâ€" y. A good deal of nonsense is writ- ten about the untold millions which are supposed to lie in Chancery, but the fact is there are no “hun- dreds of millions” of unclaimed money, or, indeed, anything apâ€" proachmg to it. The total amount now in the Court of Chancery, unâ€" claimed, is only a little over £1,- 100,000. And that £1,100,000 is divided into as many as 3,400 sep- arate accountsâ€"woe half of which do not exceed £150 in value, and only one-sixteenth of them exceed £1,000l . Lists of “uext-ofâ€"kin heirs” and “heirs to unclaimed money,” which are issued by various per-sons, are not official publications, and many of them sometimes contain gross “misstatements and exaggeraâ€" tions." 1 It would be as well to understand, too, that the paymaster-general does not throw informaticin about broadcast, and give it just for the sake of asking. Inquirers have to supply him with a written request, and satisfy him that they have some sort of interest in the matter on which they seek for information. EVIDENCE REQUIRED. Even if a solicitor is instructed, the paymaster will want to know exactly who the person is who in- structs him, and that he has a bene- ficial interest in the funds of the! court. It should also be noted that the money in Chancery is not there haphazard, and lying about any- how, so to‘ speak. All the money is placed to the account of specific actions and particular causes, and when application is made the num- ber and coroct title of the action or cause must always be given, otherwise it will be almost impos- sible for the paymastcr to trace the account in the books. As the officials most properly point out, it is very misleading for the surname of the rightful owner of property is exactly the so.ch as an 'one to assume that, just because car are. more or I .V necessary before the officials will investi ate the accounts, and give information thereon. In this connection the paymastcr notifies that he is not there to give legal advice to all and sundry as to the steps necessary to be taken to get money out of Chancery. The proper people to do that are the solicitors of the Supreme Court. SATISFYING THE PAYlVlASTER. Assuming that a man has evi- dence of a. genuine claim and can satisfy the paymaster on this point, he can then obtain what may prove to be very useful information from the latter regarding the amount in court, and the dates of the orders which affect it. For this privilege he will pay half~a-crown. If he wishes to inspect the orders, affidavits, certificates, and reports referred to in the particular cause in which he is interested, he can see them, if before 1870, at the Pub- lic Record Oflicc, Il‘ctter Lane, and. if, after that year, at the filing dc- partment of the central office, in the Strand. He should distinctly remember however, that funds in Chancery will only be dealt withunder the direction of an order of the court ~that is to say, assuming a man has a claim, he must legally prove it to the judge’s satisfaction, and the judge must then make a formal order for it to be paid to him be- fore the claimant can handle the money. TEDIOUS AND EXPENSIVE. Those who know anything of Chancery procedure will under- stand that to obtain such an order 'is a tedious and expensive opera.- tion, and, indeed, hardly worth the trouble. In fact, the officials themâ€" selves are quite frank about it. “In many cases,” they say, “funds have remained in court for more than a century, and to prove a title may involve an expenditure quite out of proportion to the amount recov- erable.” ' ‘ Some of these accounts go as far back as 1726, and quite a large num- lber between 1750 and 1800. As can be imagined, the thous- ands of acounts afiect al sorts and conditions of men and women; even railway companies, waterworks, dock companies, and school boards are concerned, which such sur- names as Smith, Brown, and Jones fill up pages upon pages of the books. From the above it will be seen that the fabulous sums of money which are lying unclaimed in Chan- less mythical. There are no fabulous sums there at all. l l “But it is only four feet deep. by actual measurement,” protest- SM ALLER. u.â€" EELS ON A LONG TREK. ._...._. and Manguwheso rivers. midnight their attention was ar- Stories From New Zealand of Their 'rcsted by their dog. which .was Night Laud J ourneys.

Thirty years later, in 1883, the standard had been low- ered to 5 feet»3 inches. In 1900 when the transports Were filled with drafts for South Africa, another inch was pared off the height, and before the end of the campaign recruits were mustered in if they stood 2) feet in their stockings. More than half the men standard required of the troops in the Crimea, half a century ago. GIRTH AND WEIGHT. There had been a similar shrinkâ€" , age of girth of chest. Of every thousand recruits for the Boer war of the British army were below the 51 measured less than thirty-four inches around the chest, which had been the minimum girth as late as 1883. In the matter of weight one- tlrird of the whole number enlisted men in the Boer war fell short of the standard of 136 pounds, which had been required of the preceding generation. In 1900 the average British recruit at the age of 19 years was two inches shorter, an inch less around the chest, and iii- teen pounds lighter than the nor- mal Anglo~Saxon youth of the same age ought to be. ’ After the Boer war the standard of height was restored to 5 feet 3 inches, but the army made no great improvement in its average phys‘ ique. As recently as 1900 the aver- age height of the British infantryâ€" man was 5 feet 4 1-2 inches, but his girth of chest was only inches and his weight 123 pounds, showing that he had been underfcd and given no fair chance to grow. There were worse revelations than these. Small men may be sturdy men, as in the case of the Japanese, but these millions of city bred Britons were rotten to the core. Fifty per cent. of the Lnodon youths who offered themselves as recruits were rejected as unlit, even after the physical standards had been lowered. Of 11,000 young men examined in Manchester 8,000. were rejected for want of stamina or be- cause of physical defects. MAJORITY INCAI’ABLE. Throughout the United Kingdom from 40 to 60 per cent! of those wishing to enlist were found to be unfit for service, and so desperate was the need of “food for powder” that the class of men thus rejected was as worthless as it is possible to imagine. Of the men actually in the ranks three out of five were incapable of enduring the hardships of active service and broke down in two years or less time. During the year of 1903 no fewer than 81,- 723 British soldiers of less than two years service were discharged as invalids. Almost 50 per cent. of the recruits in the Boer war were between 18 and 19 years old, many of them under 18, and in Man-chestcrlads were enlisted who appeared to be no more than 15 or 16. At one time England was maintaining in the field 30,000 immature lads, thir- ty battalions, an army corps, who would not have been accopted for service in France or Germany on account of their youth. It was a British critic, Lord De-ni’nau, who said of this enfeebled military strength : “Excepting a few picked corps, the regular army consisted of dere- licts and weeds, and even of these a diminishing number.” 4* NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT. “I thought you said this house had an extra large back yard?” said the prospective tenant. “So I did,” answered the agent. ed the p.t. “Well,” rejoined the wily agent, “the ordinary yard is only three feet, you know.” Cabbages in Cuba grow to such size that a single head often weighs 20 pounds.

The migrations of eels have not attracted as much attention as the movements of other animals, but are quite as remark- able. R. 0. Bruce of Ngaruru states that recent dredging operations by vessels fitted out for philosophical investigations have proved beyond all doubt not only that eels breed in the sea but far out at sea, where their breeding places have been found. Old Maoris on the west coast of the North island state that when the eels go toward the sea in a large body they are led by two in- dividuals of an enormous size. John R. Macdonald, of Levin, told Mr. Bruce that he once saw one of these migrations, with two large eels in the van. Overland journeys at night, which are characteristic of some eels, have been noted in New Zealand. Mr. Bruce has been told by some very old Maori friends that they have used no other much excited and was bailing furiously. When they went out to ascertain the cause of the disturb- ance they found that the dog was following up an enormous eel which was on one of its land journeys.
