MODERN ANTIQUITIES. ‘Thriving Factory of Egyptian Mummies in Paris. The quest for things antique has [led to systematic forgery and imita- 'tion on the part of dealers. Paris Jis the great centre of this deceitful lindustry. There has been discovered in the suburbs a thriving factory for lthe fabrication of Egyptian mum- mies, cases and all. These are ship- rped to Egypt, and in due time reâ€" ;turn as properly antiquated discov- eries. A funny story is now current about ‘a. collector of medieval things.

The dealâ€" 'er shipped the chimneypicce to Italy, and had it set up in a palace near ,Venico, bringing back to Paris photo- graphs of the palace and of the chimneypiece in situ. By means of these photographs he aroused the Interest of a rich collector, who sent )his secretary to Venice to make sure {that the photographs did not lie, and on his favorable report, bought the thing for fifty thousand francs. 0n the arrival of the article at his house in Paris, he sent for some Workmen to open the cases. One of them appeared to him to go about the work rather carelessly. and he remonstratcd with the man, who anâ€" swered, “Have no fear, sir. I know 'Just how it needs to be opened, for I packed it when it left Paris." flGRANTUN MAN SPEAKS OUT TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW DODD’S KIDNEY PILLS CURED HIM. ~â€"â€"o--. John Fletcher Had Lumbago and Kidney Disease and Could Get No Relief Till He Tried the Great Kidney Remedy. Granton, Ont., Aug. 31 (Special). --"I am glad to let'thc public know ,that Dodd’s Kidney Pills cured me of Lumbago, and I am now perfectâ€" ;ly sound.” i These are the words of John Flet- cher, a wellâ€"known resident of this fvillage, and similar tributes to the great Canadian Kidney remedy can be heard on every side. i “I had been troubled for a year with Lumbago and Kidney troubles,” ‘Mr. Fletcher continued, when asked for particulars. “My urine was of a very bad color and I could get nothing to help me. I consulted the best doctors in Granton and St. Mary’s, but got no relief. Finally I ave-W AN UNHAI’PY WOMAN. "Mary Queen of Scots was a most unhappy woman, wasn't she?” inâ€" quired a thin man of a friend in‘thc train the other day. “Indeed she was,’ other earnestly. “Queen I‘Jli'Inbcth was also far from happy, wasn't she?" “Very much so, I should say, history is to be believed," "Then there was Cothcrineâ€"-â€"" “What on earth are you driving at, may I ask?" broke in the man who was being regalcd with the names of the unhappy women of history. "1 was just about. to remark," continued the thin man. “that the name of tho unhappiest woman in the world does not appear in history. Now, I've got a sisterâ€"inâ€"law named Martha Tabbs, and just at present she is the most wretched woman on the face of the earth." “What's the matter with herâ€"lost money?" “No “111, maybe?” broke in the other. “No; but, you see, last week her husband bought her a twoâ€"guinea hatâ€"-" “And I suppose the twoâ€"guinea but made her more unhappy than Mary Queen of Scots was when she discov- ered that. her neighbor had one costâ€" ing five?” "That was not it at all. She was as happy as a Skylark in a June meadong until she tripped and fell going up some steps and sprained her ankle. She is now lying in bed, unable to wear the hat, and by the time she can wear it it will probab- ly be out of fashion. I tell you it is sad to watch her looking tearful- ly at that hat, which hangs on a peg near her bed. Talk about the unhappy women of history! Why, she is more unhappy than any ten of them put together. replied the if Maudâ€"“How is Mr. Blushinan get- ting along? Has he proposed yet?” Edithâ€""No, but he is improving.

It is cures of this kind that have given Dodd’s Kidney Pills their poâ€" pularity. You can't find a neighborâ€" hood in Canada Where Dodd's Kidâ€" ney Pills are not known by their cures. If the disease is of the Kid- neys or from the Kidneys, Dodd’s Kidney Pills never fail to cure it. ____+'.. _Mrs. Hickesâ€""What a pretty blonde Miss King-Chester is!- But she's an anomaly to me.
