Pratt dragged his motherâ€"inâ€"law, aged 80, through three miles of bush and saved kher. W. Treadwell, his wife, son, and daughter, got into a dam, and stayed there all night, up to their necks in water. When taken out they were parboiled, as the fires had heated the water to boiling point. G. Pratt and two men covered themselves with wet eacks. They are alive, but all blind. All who are alive are wandering about All the fish in the river are dead. Many cattle were killed by rushing at the advancing flames. The dense smoke has stopped shipping. A Melâ€" bourne correspondent . says:â€" "Bush fires in Gyppland, Victoria, have left a scene of inconceivable ruin. "Heartrending reports of suffering come from all over the colony.

The flames came quickly, jumped like live, fiery furies from {nuh to bush, tree to tree, and house to house. Th rogidents ‘lett all A Wellington correspondent _ says bush fires are destroying everything from Hoonsville‘s Gully to Burnside, over a magnificent farming country. The fire jumped from bush to farmâ€" houses, 500 feet, defying the efforts of farmers to stay its course. _ The sun became eclipsed by the dense volumes of smoke. A Methodist camp meeting was overtaken by fire, and the people, mostly women, fled for their lives. Five minutes after the 500 tents were deserted they were in flames. The peoâ€" ple ran for miles till they reached a sheep station,where all the women took refuge in a sod dairy, and poured milk on the roof all day long, as the fire raged around them. The men went on to town. The women were left behind. When rescued they had slipped their elothes off, dipped them in milk, and spread them on the roof. In the meanâ€" time thousands of homes were being licked up by the flames. BLINDED WITH SMOKE. Crowds continue to come into town, blinded with smoke, being badly burnâ€" ed. Half of those who reach the town fall into a doad faint from reaction, some never to rise, again. Many refusâ€" ed to leave their destroyed homes.

Down from the sky above came a thunderbolt, then another, and anâ€" other. Several buildings were wreckâ€" ed, and as the people cautiously peepâ€" ed from their houses,the stifling, overâ€" powering smoke fumes were gone, and a blinding sheet of rain was falling from the black vapour that had lifted above them. _ They rushed into the rain and danced and shouted for joy. Nature had decided not to destroy Melbourne. BRIEF RESPITE FROM HEAT. The darkest hour bad passed, and after that rain the atmosphere was worth a million dollars a minute to those poor sou!s, and an hout‘s respite prepared them for the next period of sulfering. The mortality was very large. Besides deaths from heat, 255 cases of typhoid fever broke out, with w large percentage of deaths. ‘ Relief was soon to come, nature could do no more;, but the trial by fire was not over. The elements must kill & few more. Only the strongest must survive. Another evil was upon them. The air was thick and murky, alive with blinding cinders. Men would have suffoczeted or gone blind had they not shut themselves away from the overâ€" powering influence of the mountain of smoke that settled over the city and blotted it out even from the sun‘s hateful light. But the darkness was worse than the light, and the air was barder to breathe. of Auetralia. Passengers arriving at Vancouver, B.

What kindâ€"gun, kaking, or face? ’ Perhaps the most remarkable cure that has ever been recorded is that of little Minnie Woodside, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Woodside, of Baltic, P.EI. Mr. and Mrs. Woodside are members of the Princetown Presbyâ€" terian church, and are well and favor-j ably known in the settiement where they reside. Mr. Woodside does an' extensive Lusiness in oysters. A newsâ€" paper correspondent hearing of the: remarkable recovery of this little girl| called on Mr. Woodside and ascerâ€" tained the esxact facts of the case. The following is substantially the result of the interview :â€""~"About a year ago last June I first noticed that my little _daughter was not as bright as usual and that she complained at times of pains in ber head and chest. Up to that time she bhad regularly attended school and was remarkably clever for a child of her age. She did nothing except attend school and although I never supposed it would do her much injury, 1 allowed ber to study too sedulously. _ Thinking that she was only a little run down Ikept her from | school for a few weeks and expectcd! that she would be a‘l right again. By‘ the end of that time‘ I was badly dis-, appointed in my expeactations, howâ€" ever,as she rapidly grew weaker and | lost flesh every day. I was alarmed about her condition when she comâ€"| plained of a soreness in her lungs and | began to cough. I was just preparing ; to take her to a doctor when a neighâ€" | bor called to see her and advised us to | try Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. She| assured me that Pink Pills had restorâ€" ’ ed her own daughter to health after’ several doctors had failed to do her any good. I therefore resolved to | give them a trial and purchased a | couple of boxes that very day. I began giving my little daughter those pills being very careful to follow the direcâ€" tions. At the end of a month I noticed | a decided improvement in her health and thus emcouraged I continued using the pills three months more. _ Her health was quite restored by that time and she was ablefto attend school l aga‘in. I regard my daughter‘s cure as almost marvellous and accord all] the credit to Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills | For little girls and boys of delicate constitutions mno better remedy could possibly be prescribed. _ What was done for my little girk could certainly I be cone for other children. Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills cure by | go‘ng to the root of the disease. They | renew and build up the blood, and‘ strengthen, the nerves, thus driving disease from the system.

The necessiity for taking a good spring medicine to purify the blood and build up the system is based upâ€" on matural and unavoidable causes. In cold weather there has been less perâ€" spiration and impurities have not passed out of the system as they should. Food has consisted largely of rich. fatâ€" ty substances, and there bas been less opportunity for outdoor exercise. The result is, the blood is loaded with imâ€" purities and these must be promptly expelled or health will be endangered. Hood‘s Sarsaparilla is the best spring medicine because it is the best blood purifier and tonic. It purifies the blood and gives vigor and vita ity in place of weakness and languor. W. M.
