A little over a year ago the reporter of the News while standing in front of the office, before its removal to Union, noticed four men carrying Mr. J. P. Davis, the well known flerist and gardâ€" ener into the Courtenay House. The reporter, ever on the alert Tor a news item, at once went over to investigate the matter, and learned that Mr. Davis had had a slight stroke of paralysis. A note of the cireumstance appeared in the News at the time and nothing furthur was heard of it. Last spring Mr. Davis was observed to be frequently in Union bringing in fowers, Jater vegetables for sale, and the reporter meeting him one day the following conversation took plnce:â€"*"Glad T0 mee you looking so well, Mr. Davis." said the reporter, ‘"the last thne I saw you you seemed pretty badly broken up." "Yes." said Mr, Davis, "I did have a pretiy rough time of it, 1 was troubled with my heart, having severe spasms, and shortness of breath on slight exerâ€" tion, I haye also a swelling of the neck which was said to be goitre. _ Two years years ago I came up from Nanaimo and took the Harvey ranch hoping a change I Fell Dotn On the Street. would do me good but in this 1 was disappointed, and seemed to be steadily growing weaker. I had three doctors at different times, but they appeared not to understand my casé. At last I got so low that oneday I fell down on the street, and those who picked me up thought I was dying. A_f(n~ that I was urged to take Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and almost from the outset they helped me and after the use of about half a dozen bozes I was as well as ever." Do you stull take Pink Pills" asked the reporter, _ ‘"Well," was the reply, "I still keep them about me and once in a while when I think I require a tonic I take a few, but as you can see‘ I don‘t look a man who requires to take mediâ€" cine now." On this point the reporter quite agrees with Mr. Davis, as he looks as vigorous and robust a man ; % you could wish to see,. After parting with Mr. Davis the reporter called at Pimbury & Co,‘s drugstore, where he saw the manager MÂ¥. Van Houten, who €>rroborated what Mr. Davis had said regarding the use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, and further stated that he beliovâ€" ed Pink Pills to be the finest tonic in the world, and gave the names of several who had found remarkabe bsnefit from thor use, A depraved or watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves are the two fruitful sources of almost every disease that afflicts humanity, and to all sufferers Dr. Williums Pink Pills are offered with a confidence that they are the only perfect and unfaling blood builder and nerve restorer, and that where given a fair trial disease and suffering must banish.

Jt is the opinion of the true gourmet that of all marine pantish there is none to compare with the smelt (Osmerus mordax). This primary rank is its own by reason of its delicacy and delicious flavor, and when fried a light brown in very fine bread crumbs and served with melted butter there is none that disâ€" putes its preâ€"emivence. Its delightful flavor, however, as well as its peculiar odor is evancecent. . Like the mackerel, it cannot be too fresh, Know Wrat YÂ¥ou Chew It is from its odor that the smelt deâ€" rives not only its familiar but Latin ‘hamo, an odor so aggressive of sliced cucumbers that, if its presence be maniâ€" ‘fest only to the sense of smell, people are often deluded into such supposition. This odor is not marked except in the freshly caught fish and disazppoars in the cooking, giving place, however, to & fitting resurrection of the smelt to an olfactory sense still more savory and deâ€" lightful. â€"Market Review. ‘(.'b.nm Dresses at the Race® : ‘¥he fashiovrable women of England, it would scem, have plenty of ti . to think of dress. â€" At Ascot recently t..cro ‘was a heavy downpour of rain one diaÂ¥, and some of the ladies, thinking, doubtâ€" less, that the bad weather would conâ€" tinue, started the next day in cloth and serge costumes, but when they reached "the race track, behold, the sun was shinâ€" ing, and there was not a cloud in the sky.
