'A goodâ€"natured young fellow was at a. rustic picnic and rashly spoke 'to a young lady without the formalâ€" ity of an introduction. He happen- ‘o'd to see a fat caterpillar crawling 3m her lace collar, and, stopping toâ€" wards her, said :fi "Madam, permit me toâ€"" But; the young lady waved him oil with an imperious and insulting gesâ€" ‘tlu'e, and said: “Well,” he said, “I do not know, but I always laugh when I think of the Irishman and the army mule. I was riding down the line one day when I saw an Irishman mounted on a. mule, which was kicking its legs rather freely. The mule finally got its hoof caught in the stirrup, when, in the excitement. the Irishman 1‘0- markcd: ‘Well, begorra, it you're goin' to get on, I'll get of! !' " Dodd's Kidney Pills are known by their cures in every corner of Can- ada. They cure the Kidneys, Sound Kidneys ensure pure blood. Pure blood means good health, cheerfulness and abundant energy. That's how FDodd’s Kidney Pills make new men and women out of run doWn, worn nut people. After the old gentleman had inâ€" vited the young man to be seated the latter coughed once or twice to clear his throat and than bluntly suggested that he wished to marry the old gentleman's daughter. The old gentleman didn't wish to be too ready to give his consent, but rhe admitted after a few minutes he thought he had no objections. "That‘s just the trouble," pro- tested the young man disconsolately. “If you'd only oppose it and order me out of the house once or twice and buy a bulldog I’d have some dhmv of getting her." General “Phil” Sheridan was at one time asked at what little inci- dent did he laugh the most. H'E H'ADN‘T BEEN INTRODUCED Here the caterpillar oveflmlanccd itself and fell on her neck. “0h ! take it off ! Oh, please do take it ofi', somebody !" screamed the fair one. The young man was the only ?‘somebo'dy” about, and he said: "I couldn’t think of it, madam ! I haven't been introduced to the catâ€" mpillm‘." “How dare you speak to me withâ€" out an introduction? You are cerâ€" tainly no gentleman, sir." “I had tried dichrcnt kinds of medicine without benefit till I gave Dodd’s Kidney Pills a trial. From the first they did me good and I had only ta’ken three boxes when I was able to start work again. They did me good and no mistake." River Bourgeois, Richmond Co., Que., Oct. 5.â€"(Spocial).â€"Simon V. Landry well known here, adds his testimony to the thousands of others ‘all over Canada who owe their health and even life itself, to Dodd's Kidney Pills. I “I was bothered for over a year with Lame Back. Weak Back, Palpaâ€" (ion of the Heart and General Weakâ€" ness,” says Mr. Landry. “In fact, I was a total wreck.

LANDRY HAS TO SAY OF DODD’S KID- NEY PILLS. It is every man's and every wo- man's ambition to get on in the world. Competition in the present 'day is keener than ever it was. Per- haps the advice given fifty years ago in Blackwood’s Magazine may have been the foundation of the fortunes of some of our millionaires and mulâ€" Li-nu‘llionaires.

HHS HOPE OF WINNING TIA-IE TO DIS MO UNT AND NU MISTAKE Taking Sixpence off for board, and allowing one shilling for machinery, there was a. clear profit from each mouse of six shillings. Mr. H‘utton firmly intende to apply for the loan of the empty cathedral in Dunferm- line, which would have held, he cal- culated 10,000 mouse mills, sufficient room being left for keepers and some hundreds of spectators. Death, howâ€" ever, overtook the inventor before this marvellous project could be carried out. Eastern Manâ€"Talking about hail storms, the East is still ahead. Why, sir, only a month ago hailstorms fell here as big as eggs. Western Man (off his g:ua.1~d)â€"Eh? “Wat's that ‘? Big as eggs ? Eastern Man (calmly)â€"Yes, sir; big as hen eggs, sir. Western Man (recovering himself)â€" Oh! Only hen eggs ? I thought, you meant ostrich eggs ! Two little girls were playing in front of a. city dwelling when a strange man went by. “That man is an undertaker,” said one of the little girls. About the year 1820 this gentle- man actually erected a small mill at D‘unfermline for the manufacture of threadâ€"a mill worked entirely by mice. It was while visiting Perth prison in 1812 that Mru‘lfiutton first conceived this remarkable idea of utilizing mouse power. In an old pamphlet of the time. "The Curios- ity Cotiee Room," he gave an ac- coamt of the way in which the idea dawned on him. “In the summer of the year 1812," he wrote, “I had occasion to be in Perth, and when inspecting the toys and trinkets thlat were manufactured by the French prisoners in the depot tlfere, my_ at- tention was involuntarily attracted by a little toy house, with a wheel in the gable of it that was running rapidly round, impelled by the in- significant gravity of a common house mouse. For one shilling I purchased house, mouse and wheel. Inclosing it in a handkerchief, on my journey homeward I was compelldd to contemplate its favorite. amuse- ment, But how to apply half-ounce power (which is the weight of a mouse) to a useful purpose was the difficulty. At length the manufacâ€" turing of sewing thread seemed the most practicable." Mr. Hutton had one mouse, that‘ ran the amazing distance of eighteen miles a day, but he proved that an ondinary mouse could run ten and one-half miles on .an average. A halfpenny‘s worth of oatmeal was sufficient for its support for thirty- five days, during which it ran 736 half miles. He had actually two mice constantly employed in the making of sewing thread for more than a year. The mouse thread mill was so constructed that the common house innuse was enabled to make atonement to society for past offenses by twisting, twining an'd reeling from 100 to 120 threads a day, Sundays not excepted. To per- form this task, the little pedestrian had to run ten and oneâ€"half miles, and this journey it performed with ease every 'day. A halfpenny's worth of oatmeal served one of these ifllrea‘d mill culprits for the long perâ€" iod of five weeks. In that time it made 3,350 threads of twentyâ€"five inches, and as a penny was paid to women for every hank made in the ordinary way, the mouse, at that rate, earned ninepence every six weeks, just one farthing a day, or seven shillings and Sixpence a year. “How 'do you know ?" asked her companion. Willy: “Grandpa, tell me a. story.” Grandpa: “Once upon a time be- fore people thought of marrying for moneyâ€"" Willâ€"y: “Oh, I don't. mean a. fairy stow." “Begorra, an' it's bar-rd to collect money those days." “Is it you bin tryu'n’ to collect some, Mr. Murphy?" “Sorry a cent: but there's plenty trying to collect some from me.” “6h, because he is the man who undertook my grandmother." Thrift is generally acknowledged to be one of the leading characterisâ€" tics of the native of Fifeshirc, Scot- land, and it never was more forcibly exemplified than in the person of David Hutton, a. native of Dunform- line, who actually proved that even mice, those acknowledged pests of mankind, could be made not only to earn their own living, but also to yield a respectable income to their owners.

"Did you have a good time fish- ing?" “Oh, fair, fair," replied the candid man, “but we had a better time lying about it when we got back." After all other remedies full. there still remains a. way of getting rid of rats, and that is by depriving them of water. They can live for a. long time without food, and when hard pressed will not hesitate to eat each other, but no rat can go twen- tyâ€"fom' hours without, drink. There- fore, if every possible means of ob- taining water is taken from the rats they will desert the vicinity.

During the months of July and August the Order added nearly $220,- 000 to its assets. or in other words almost a quarter of a million dolâ€" lars. The excellent financial posi- tion of this institution may be seen from the fact that each day while it pays out to widows and orphans about $6,000, it lays in its treasury over $3,000 in order to meet future emergencies. This is a condition the value of which will be appreciatâ€" ed to the full by business men. The Order has added rapidly to its memâ€" bership, having considered this year about 30,000 Medical Papers. The genius. ability and foresight of Or- onhyatekha, the Supreme Chief Ranger in laying in a broad and safe manner the foundations of the Order, are now bearing their legiti- mate results. .
