Thomson, hasa greater store of re- serve vitality than all the other bodily systems together, and is the only tex- ture that does not lose weight in death by starvation or other cause. It is the last to grow old. As to the mind, it need not grow old at all, provided it be supplied with the mighty stimulus called interest, by which it will grow steadily. even while bone and sinew are wasting through age. According to the mail news from the west coast of Africa. a “ human alli- gator” society infests the banks of the Kittam Boom River. Fishermen and boatmen have been enticed from their canoes. by the members of the society, who. after murdering them and steal- ing their belongings. feasted on their bodies. One man who was enticed on- to the river bank, when fallen on by the “ human alligators,” killed one of his assailants and wounded two oth- ers, but was eventually himself killed and eaten, excepting one of his legs, which was found in the river and iden- tified by some marks upon it. So com- mon were the outrages becoming in the district that the attentiOn of the au- thorities was being drawn to the mat- ter. The. body of William Howell. a fire- man, belonging to the Shettleston district. has been found at the bot- tom of the shaft of the Broombridge pit, Dennyloanhead, in a {rightfully mangled condition, and it is SUpposed that.Howell must have thrown him- self down the shaft middle and two on either side as illus- trated.

An English settler, named Carru hers, hav- ing been warned of the rising of the natives, was making his way to a place of safety. \Vhila on the road he tell in with a party cf blacks, and being parched with thirst, asked them for water. A negro approached, hear- ingabig calahash full of water. To drink from the calabash, it was necessary to take hold- of it with both hands. Carruthers, not suspecting treachery, rested the butt of his rifle on the ground, with the muzzle leaning against his chest, and stretched out his hands to grasp the calabash. Ashe did so, the native seized the rifle and ran off. An English Settler’s Experience In the Matalwlelund War. “History repeats itself," but one would scaraely have expected the fam- ous foot~race of Grecian mythoiogy to be repeated, several thousand years later, in South Africa. According to the Grecian story, Atalanta, the famous huntress, made it a condition that the suitor who would win her for his wife must first outrun her in a footâ€" race. Though she wasthe swiftest- footed of mortals, she was conquered by Meilanion in this manner. During the race he dropped three golden ap- ples, one after the other. Atalanta was so charmed by their beauty that she could not abstain from gathering them. Her wily suitor outran her, and she became his Wife. â€" , . It is said that Indians of the region south of Hudson's Bay tell a similar tale of a finch which travels very com- fortably on the back of the Canada goose. It certainly seems improbable that a belief so widely disseminated should be wholly without foundation. ”Sureiy," they cried. ”Abu Sand, the stark, has carried them over the sea." The traveller put the same question to a couple of Arab donkeyâ€"boys who came 11p to offer ,him their beasts. The next year he was visiting Cairo, in Egypt, and observed a great num- ber of wagtails in the palm gardens there. After watching them for some time. as they hopped about and tilted in the fashion that has given them their name, he asked an old Bedouin chief who stood near how he imagined they got there, as they always spend the summer in Euroye. The sheik at once replied: “Ya khamageh, my dear sir, do you know that these little birds are borne across the sea by the larger ones ?" A few days later the Englishman got pretty conclusive proof of the truth of these statements. He was cruis- ing about in a heat about fifteen miles from shore, when another flock of cranes passed overhead, and he heard the same twittering notes. He, there- fore, discharged his gun to see what would come of it; and forthwith he saw three small birds rise up from the flock in fright. After a short time they disappeared among the cranes. “'HI‘RRING OF THE FEATHERS. of these great birds. His friend, how- ever, said no; the noise, he declared, was made by song-birds that were rid- ing on the backs of the cranes, and he further asserted that the saucy little fellows had come all the way from the const of Europe with their good-nat- ured companions, who lent, if not a helping hand. a helping back, which was much more servicable, as often as needed. An English traveller, who was con- siderably interested in the birds, hap- pened tobe passing the autumn in the island of Crete, in the Mediterranean; and he often noticed a sound like the twittering of small birds at times when the sandcranes were passing over- head on their way southward. As the only fowl in sight were the cranes, this aroused his curiosity. and he mentions ed the matter to a friend who was a native of the island, suggesting that. possibly the noise was caused by the llow the little Birds Travel In. III.” to Asia and Nee "was. How even the little birds contrive to Bet across such vast expanses of the sea in their annual migrations is a Puzzling question. That they do it is unquestionable; it is admitted by the most competent observers that they sometimes get over stretches of billowy brine that for a thousand miles afford no perch for their weary little claws to clutch on. - That such an ex- tended flight is too much for them is not only evident in itself, but is proved by the fact' that these too venturesome songsters sometimes alight on the rig- gings of ships in such a state of ex- haustion that, when disturbed, they are. unable to fly the length of the ves- sel, and occasionally even fall helpless upon the deck.

Mrs. Eliza Reitz, 33 \Vellington St., Berlin, Ont., says, “ For ten years [have been afflicted with kidney and back trou- ble, sufi'ering greatly from dizziness, ner- vousness, weak eyesight, loss of sleep, and appetite, and an almost constant tired, weak feeling. In February last I got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and received so much benefit from them that I continued their use until I had taken three boxes in all, and was completely cured. They removed every vestige of pain, dizziness and nervousness, and en- abled me to get restful sleep; so that from bein a sick woman I am now strong an well again." “ Three years ago I was troubled with boils, and tried several remedies recommended by friends, but they were of no avail. I had FIFTY-TWO BOILS in all, and found nothing to give me relief until I tried Burdock Blood Bitters. The first bottle I took made a com- plete cure and proved so very satisfactory that I have recomo mended B.B.B. to' many of my friends who have used it with good results.” A. J. MUSTARD, Hyder, Man.
