as those you get in layers in boxes, but I did not grumble. I also found

an orange and some fine large quinces. After eating all I wanted I pat 4 lot in my haversack for the boys on the bill. Then I went to a shop that had been kept in connection with the house or establishment which was called Thorobill. he shop had been entirely cleared out by the Boers, but the proprietor, a Mr. Cook, bad got ina+rmall, fresh supply. 1 bought two Cans of salmon at one shilling and tarce pence— 30 cepts,—one can of apricot j+m, 30 cents, and a pouad of sugar at 30 cents. You may te sure the boys on the bill were glad whev I got back. Errest Lord and Aifred Riggs ‘had some cocoa aod [had tome condensed milk ; 80 we made a good.meal —cocoa with milk and sugar, salmop, biscuitand jam—and had a similar blow-out later in the day.

In the evening owr cclumn came back, and I can tell you it was a great sight to see it wending away below uz. We re- mained on duty on the hill all night and saw the flashes of the gune of the British who were attacking Magersfontein. We could aleo see the light from tne

It is said in New York that in order to provide (his fuod bonds inthe sum of $125,900 would have to be sold, and that at this time euch financal negotiation and ex penditure would emcsk of unwarrentable extravagance, Owing tothe fact that the city is endeavoring to establish municipal improvements which are more necessary than a library.

The music of the mass by a full choir under Madame Doiron wasof the finest. At the offertory,communion, and before and after mass, tne voluntaries were of a national character. Maay hundreds ap- proached the sacraments. Rev. Father Gallant’s sermon was perfect, heightening the fervor and augmenting the national enthusiasm of the large congregation. At the close of the mass, the pastor, Rev. Father Burke, said a few words expres- sive of the satisfaction he felt at the way Irishmen within the Empire were winning all hearts, and now as ever scaling the

A FORESTER'S GASE ;

Chronic Kidney Disease Cured After

Eight Years Agony.

Mr John J. Burns Give

; his Experience

with Dodd’s Kid ey Pilla—Nothing

Near -Dodd’s Kidn y Pills

Never Fail

Darniey, P. EK. [., March 19.—There are many membersof the Independent Order of Foresters in this town, and the sur- rounding country district, and they are aincng the most respectable, wealthy, and estimable citizens of the district. They areali thoroughly acquainted with the caseof Mr. John J.§ Burns, a popular member of the order, who conducts a boot and shoe business here.

Mr. Burns has bad an experience that has been given to but few men. He has stood in the presence of the grim tyrant Death, within the -ery shadow of bis wings. Ths monster’s hand was out- streched to grasp his victim, and Mr Burns was within an infinitely short distance of his grave, when a protecting infiuence came between him and death, and the demo was put to flight. Dodd’s Kidney Pills were his protectors. Death attack~ ed him in disguise of Kidney Disease.

For over eight years Mr. Burns had en- dured the agonies of chronic inflammation of the Kidneys. His pains were indescrib- able. Every effcrt to obtain relief or cure uttrely failed, There seemed no other ending of hie misery but death.

Providentially Mr. Burns heard of Dodd’s Kidney Pille. He tried them. They cured him. His Forester friends know it. His neighbors know it. Hun- dreds who neyer eaw him knomit, They all know that Dodd’s Kidney Pills never failto cure Bright’s Disease, Disbetes, Dropsy, Lumbago, Rheumatiem, Disees2s of Women and allother Kidney Troubles.

—The businees incapacity of the Lau- rier Goveenoment has again been illus trated in Connection witn the vote of $2,-

These bave not been forthcoming with,the promptness the circumstances called for, Dr. Borden, says the Montreal Gazette. probably knows the name of every con- tractor who had :o do with the provision- ing and fitting out ef Che ships and men, that being exactly in his jine eod what he under~ stands; but he did not ‘now and could notexplain tethe House of Commons how much per day the men of the contia- gent were tu get out wf the grants be was advocating, which means, of couree, that the Gov-rnment guessed at and did not calculate the amount they asked for. The other fact was brought out that the different corps had no legal existence, being orgar - ized outside of the law and apparently without a Govervor’s warrant. Mr, Field- ing says in defence of ‘his phrase of the metterthet it willcome out all right, which is very Laurierlike,but very unbusi- nesslike also,

Dreumatism..

is Uric Acid in the blood. Unhealthy kidneys are the cause of the acid being there. If the kidneys acted as they should they would strain the Uric Acid out of the system and rheuma- tism wouldn't occur. Rheu- matism is a Kidney Dis- ease. Dodd's Kidney Pills have made a great part of their reputation curing Rheumatism. So get at the cause of those fearful shooting pains and stiff, aching joints. There is but one sure way—
