W HIS GRAVEI. WAS SURELY GURED DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS REMOV- ED THE STONES. ind now Reuben Draper is Well and Strong After His Long Suf- fering. Bristol, Que., July 24.â€"(Special)â€" Reuben Draper, a wellâ€"known resident here, keeps the proof right with him that Dodd's Kidney Pills will surely cure the much dreaded Gravel. The proof consists of two stones, one the size of a small bean and the other as big as a grain of barley. He passed these stones and was relievâ€" ed of all the terrible pains they caus- ed after using Dodd's Kidney I’ills for a short time. Mr. Draper is confident that Dodd’s Kidney Pills and nothing else caused, his Cure, as he tried two doctors‘ without getting help, and was fast getting weak and despondent when he stopped all other treatment and started to take Dodd's Kidney Pills. In a week he paSSed the large stone and four days later the smaller One. This cure causes a feeling of relief over people in these parts as it shows those terrible operations, long thought to be unavoidable in case of Gravel, are no longer necessary. +_..___- A GYMNASTIC MARVEL. There are optical illusions of all varieties. Some are due to mirage, and some are not. 'A little boy who was drilling a. squad of classmates at recess found difficulty in getting them to march properly. "Lift your right leg!" he f‘Lift your right leg!" Things went very well until Patsy Hennessy forget and lifted his left leg, which happened to be clad in trousers exactly like these of the boy next him, who was obedient in holding up his right leg. The drillmaster stopped aghast. “You can't do that, Pat Hennessy!” . called. . mother, he called. "You’re holding up both legs! "- â€"+ SANK HIS FORTUNE. John Graham, who left Chicago in 1897, to seek his fortune in the Klondike gold fields, succeeded in amassing $100,000 after eight years’ hardship and adventure. On his way home his boat upset while shooting the rapids on the Silok river, Alas- (a, and he lost all except $2,500. .___+____ CAUSE LOOKED GOOD. “Ma, what are the folks in our church getting up a, subscription for?” asked a small boy of Holton of his mother. "To send our minister on a. vaca-i tion to Europe this summer." “'An' qu’t there be no church while he’s gone?" "No preaching service, I guess.’ "Ma, I got $1.23 saved up in bankâ€"can I give that?” 54â€"... BREVI’I‘IES. It doesn't take a particularly sharp fellow to cut up capers. It is human nature to swallow flatâ€" tery and gag over the truth. It sometimes happens that the bone of contention isn’t worth picking. Some fellows do a. lot of running around without making much proâ€" gross. Some people get religious with as. little forethought as a child gets measles. A girl may be called an angel in spite of the fact that she wears her wings on her hat instead of her shoulders. â€"â€"-â€"+â€"â€"-_ WRONG SORT. : my Perhaps Plain Old Meat, Potatoes and Bread May be Against You For a Time. A change to the right kind of food can lift one from a sick bed. A lady in Weldon 111., says: "Last Spring I became bed-fast with severe stomach trouble accomâ€" panied by sick headache. I got worse and worse until I became so low I could scarcely retain any food at all, although I tried every kind. I had become completely discouraged, hadl given up all hope and thought I was doomed to starve to death, till one day my husband trying to find some- thing I could retain brought home some Grapeâ€"Nuts. "To my surprise the food agreed with me, digested perfectly and with- out distress. I began to gain strength at once, my flesh (which had been flabby) grew firmer, my health improved in every way and every day, and in a very few weeks I gain~ fed 20 pounds in weight. I liked Grape-Nuts so well that for 4 months? I ate no other food, and always felt as well satisfied after eating as if I had sat down to a fine banquet. , “I had no return of the miserable: sick stomach nor of the headaehes,‘ that I used to have when I ate other food. I am now a well woman, o4)- ‘ing all my own work again, and icel that life is worth living. ' “Grape-Nuts food has been a god- send to my family; it. surely saved my life and my two little boys have thriven on it Wonderfully." Name given by Postum C0,, Battle Creek, Mich.

The other day an aged dame apâ€" peared at a, London l’olice Court in. grcat distress. She had, she wailed, “lost n, ‘sacrament shilling. The Magistrate, was puzzled. “In what respect,” he asked, "did a sacrament shilling diiicr from any other shilling?" Whereupon. says Pearson's Weekly. the applicant explained that the com in question was a certain cure for fits. it had been given her by her mother, who had it in turn from her who had got it over 100 years ago from the clergyman of her parish in exchange for an ordinary shilling, which had alriady been first exchanged for twelve pennies collectâ€" rd from twelve maidens. The coin, it appeared, to be efficaâ€" cious, had to be worn in a bag hung round the patient's neck for seven itimcs seven days. Similar strange beliefs linger in many out-ofâ€"tho way corners of Great Britain. ‘ In Devonshire, for instance, the country folk still make “cramp rings" out of OLD COFFIN HANDLES; and bracelets forged out of nails on which suicides have hanged themâ€" selves are worn by gouty people and deemed singularly efficacious. Charmed belts are commonly worn in Lancashire for the cure of rheumaâ€" tism, in Durham a cord round the loins is supposed to ward off tooth» ache. Among the pcaSantry of Roxburgâ€" shire women who are bursing babies wear around their necks small cords of blue wool. These are never re- moved, day or night, until the child is weaned. By taking this precau- tion they imagine that they insure good health both to themselves and their offspring during that critical period. The cords are handed down from mother to daughter, and are esteemed in proportion to their anti- quity. In Suffolk to prevent noseâ€"lileedâ€" ing people wear a skcin of scarlet thread around the neck, tied with nine knots down the front. If the patient is a man, it is essential that the thread be put on and the knots tied by a woman, while if the patient is a woman, then these services must be rendered by a man. Many curious prescriptions common in folk medicine have for their obâ€" ject the transference of the disease from the patient to one of THE LOW CR ANIMALS. For example, in Devonsbirc and in Scotland alike, when a child has whooping cough, some hair is cut from its head, put between slices of bread and butter and given to a dog. Then if the latter in eating it should coughâ€"as naturally be willâ€"the comâ€" plaint will be transferred to the aniâ€" mal and the child will recover. In Cheshire it is by no means unâ€" common for a, young frog to be held for a few moments with its head in- side the mouth of a sufi'erer from thrush. In Cumberland and through- out the north of lilngland generally a live fish‘is substituted for the frog, Sometimes trees take the place of animals. Thus a, certain old oak at llerlxhanwstead was long famous for the cure of ague. The transference was simple, but painful. A lock of hair was pegged into the wood, and then by a, sudden wrench transferred from the head of the patient to the tree. The Welsh Peasantry cure toothache by sca'rifying the gums with an iron nail, which is then driven up to the head in an elm tree and there left. They also profess to believe that a shrew mouse, touched by a sick per- son and then pegged up alive in a hole previously bored in an alder tree, will carry off the disease from the patient. .___+._. IT DOESN’T PAY. My young friend, there are many things in this world that it doesn't pav to do. It doesn't pay to try to pass yourâ€" self off for more than you are worth; it tends to depress your market quo- tation. It docsn‘t pay to lie, for your lies must all be kept on file mentally, and in the course of time some of them are pretty certain to get on the wrong hook. A liar needs a, better memory than any one is apt to posâ€" sess. . It doesn't pay to try to get a liv- ing without Work. You will work harder and get a poorer living than if you did honest work. It doesn't pay to be a practical joker, unless you can enjoy the joke when you happen to be the victim. It doesn‘t pay to rest when you ought to be at work; if you do, you are apt to have to work when you ought to be resting. It doesn‘t pay to cry over spilt milk, neither does it pay to spill the milk.
