THE KING’S CLUBS. Organisations of Which Edward VII. is a. Member. It is doubtful if many people are fully aware how pronounced have been the claims of his Majesty lung Edward Vii. to be considered as a cluhman, says the London Mail. H! is, however, one of the most prominent of such in Great hritain, md has belonged to something like twenty clubs. The majority 01' the institutions whose membership lists are honoer by the inclusion of his name therein are of a military .deâ€" scriptioz. but when he ascended the throne he was also a member of se- veral established for purely social purposes. Among the best known :lubs, once patronized, or still patronized, by the lung may be menâ€" tioned the United bcl‘VlCC, Junior United Service, Anny and Navy, Marlborough and l-toyal Yacht; but his Majesty’s connection with clubâ€"‘ band now, of course. is almost pureâ€"l ly honorary. The United Service Club was estabâ€" 5 lished in "Waterloo year," and is "housed" at No. 116 Pall Mall. Its list. of members is confined to sixâ€" teen hundred, all of whom must be naval or military officers. whose rank is at least equivalent to that of a major. Prominent among those belonging to that club are the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Roberts and Lord Wolscley. The entrance fee is a very high oneâ€"viz., £30â€"while the annual subscription is £ 10. The membership list of the Junior, or «United Service Club, in Charles Street, S.W., contains twa thousandK names. Among them are those of the German Emperor and the King of ,the Belgians. Ibeen a member since 1877. The hzuulsoinest. service club. how- ver, of which his Majesty is patron, ‘s the Army and Navy. This. which stands at. the corner of St James’ square and Pall Mall, was erected in :1851 at a total 'cost of £116,000, of ‘Which £10,000 was expended on fur- niture. The foundation of the club, however, dates from 1838, when it occupied the premises at No. 10 King street. One of its first memâ€" bers at this time was the Duke of Wellington. In 1850 it was joined by the Duke of Cambridge, and eight years later by Lord Wolseley, than a very junior officer in the British army. l | l ...._.-_.â€"Lâ€"â€"-â€"â€"- cuss QllllSTlllllllll. . B. CONNICK RELATES HIS EXPERIENCE WITH Biisfi'r’s DISEASE AND DODD’S KIDNEY PILLS. ._.a Suffered With That Dread Malady for Fifteen Yearsâ€"«Treated by Five Different Doctors.â€" Literally Rescued from Death by Dodd’s Kidney Pills. M Middleton, P.E.I., Dec. 23.â€"â€"Mr. M. B. Connick, the wellâ€"known blackâ€" smith‘oi this place, known all over the Island as the man whom Dodd’s Kidney Pills saved from death as by a miracle, has often been inter- viewed regarding his case and is ever ready to supply the facts. “I had been a victim to kidney trouble for fifteen years before I took Dodd’s Kidney Pills," sa‘d Mal Uonnick in a. recent conversation. "Did you know it was Bright's Disease. Mr. Connick ’2” "Not at first I didn't, but when I found it out I was startled, I can) In those days, you know, Bright’s Disease was incurable. I went to five different doctors. They could do no good. Finally my wife and I went to one who told us right out. there was no use taking my money. that. it. was all over." "How did you come to take Dodd‘s Kidney Pills ‘2” “Well, one day a customer and l were talking of the death of a neighâ€" bor, and my customer said he was quite sure if he had taken Dodd’s Kidney Pills he would have been cured. That set. me thinking. For the last six years I had been forced to hire a man to do my work. I began to take Dodd’s Kidney Pills and before I had finished the third box I was at work again. I can shoe 0. horse as well to-day as ever I could in my life.” "Do you mean to say that three boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills cured you of Bright's Disease of fifteen years' standing ?" "Yes. sir, that’s exactly what I mean. I was so still‘ and sore I could not. stoop to pick up anything â€"â€"couldn’t put on my shoes. If my wife was here she would tell more tell you. about Dodd's Kidney Pills than I can." Mr. Connick is now fiftyâ€"eight years old and the picture of health and strength. -â€"â€"~+ POVERT y.STR‘ICKEN M.P.'S.

St. St. Petersburg is slowly becoming a. city of toothless people. The Rus- sian capital should be, and eventuâ€" ally will be, removed to Moscow, mainly on that account. This, at least. is the opinion of a prominent merchant of the city on the banks of the Nova, who says he has heard much talk along that line in the last few years. Vladimir Zorokoli, :1. tea importer of St. Petersburg, exhibits a mouth devoid of teeth to show the effects of the climate of his city. He says the sight of a person similarly alllicted is a common one there. St. Peters burg citizens are readily identified in any part of the empire, he says, by the absence of many or all of their teeth. There are two reasons for this con- dition. The first, M. Zorokoff gives is the atmosphere of the capital city. The vapors that arise from the' marshes of the Nova have the effect! of producing decay of the teeth.l Whether there is some deleterious chemical property in the vapors has not been discovered, but the result is , declared to be due to the effiuvia from the swamps. The second reason l is the scarcity of good dentists. The science of dentistry is practically un-i known in the city or the nation. | "St. Pctersburg offers an unsurâ€" passed field for good dentists," said M. Zorokofl‘. "Perhaps by excellent treatment and the use of preservaâ€" tives the teeth of my fellow citizens could be saved. The city was largeâ€" ly built on land that had been filled lin, and the climate was never very lhealthiul. While St. Petersburg is the capital, the center of culture, wealth and refinement of the country lstill remains at Moscow. l "Czar Nicholas is himself said lbe fearful of losing all his teeth. having had much trouble to keep [them in good order. From this fact, I think, the sentiment that is being formed in favor of rcâ€"establishing the capital in the city wleere it was in olden times will, in time, result in to l his son's death. ... OFFICIALLY DEAD. The Remarkable Experience of Tro oper Dougal. Strange as have been the experienâ€" ces of many British soldiers during the South African war, those which have belallcn a New Zealaml trooper, Quarterinastcrâ€"hlergeunt Dougal, are decidedly out of the common. En- listing in the New Zeal-and contin- gent, he gained his present rank afâ€" ter having been four times wounded. While one of Lord Roberts' bodyâ€" guard, he was sent into the hospital at. Pretoria. On recovering sulliâ€" ricntly to bg discharged he found that while in the hospital he had been robbed of the Commanderâ€"inâ€" Cliief's silver bodyguard badge, and} all the money he possessedâ€"£15 in: gold. From Pretoria he was invalid- l ed to England and having beenl granted furlough proceeded to his fa- l , We...

MONTREAL ther’s home in Stirlingshirc, Scot- land, Herc, while he was recuperat- ing, his father received New Zeal-and papers containing notification, cabled from the official lists in London, of Q.~l\I.â€"S. Dougal at once informed the authorities that he was by no means defunct, and in proof of his statement put in an appearance in London before sailâ€" ing to rejoin his comrades in the colâ€" onies. He was granted furlough beâ€" cause he was alive; he has not reâ€" ceived his war medal, presumably be- cause he was “dead.” 4.. THE LARGEST PRISO . In France, at the new prison, which is about eight miles from Paris, the authorities show their belief in fresh air and sunshine, and the prison is a model sanatoriuin. The prison is the largâ€" est in the world, and takes the place of three old ones. It is built in a very simple style. but covers, with its floral gardens and residences of the abandonment of St. Petersburg 'as the imperial city. l "In no other center of population lin Russia is the decay of teeth so noticeable as in the capital. It is only during the past. ten years that fiche subject has attracted general atâ€" ltcntion, and recently the feeling that ‘the seat of government should be changed has been growing among the .upper class. I hope to see the reâ€" !moval take place.” fâ€"vâ€"o-u VALUE OF VEGETABLES. of the Garden Better Than Medicine. Pr 0 ducts f Tomatoes rouee torpid liver and do the work, ordinarily, of a. doctor’s prescription" Lettuce has a soothing, effect upon the nerves and is an inâ€" somnia remedy. I Celery is an acknowledged ionic, and is more and more used in medical prescription. Onions are also a tonic for the nerves, but people will be forever prejudiced because of their odor. Dandelions purify the blood and generally are declared to tone up the system. Potatoes should be CSChCWed by those who “have a. horror of getting fat," as that is one penalty of cat- ing them. Watercress is a good allâ€"round brace-up for the system. Spinach has medicinal properties and qualities equal to the most. indiâ€" go of all blue pills ever made. Parsnips, it is now contended by scientists, possess almost the same virtues that are claimed for sax-sapâ€" arilla. i Beets are fattening, even a moder- 'ately learned man will explain her cause of the sugar they contain. Ordinary lima beans, some one has ‘said, are good to allay thirst, but the same can be said, with equal truth, of a pitcher of water. i Asparagus is efficacious in kidney ,ailnicnts to an extent that is not yet ’perhaps thoroughly appreciated. Cucumbers, aside from sunbeam emitting properties known to readers of facctious paragraphs, contain an acid that is helpful in cases of dys- pepsia. ‘ Cabbage, in Holland, is regarded as something of a blood purifier, but the authority is vague. In Germany its efficacy is purely sauerkraut. Parsley will assist good digestion.- iike cheese and nuts, but a quantity in excess of ordinary capacity has to be consumed. Therein lies the joke.
