PARALYSIS CURED.

Mr. Joho MéeDonald, a well-known merchant at Cape North, N. &8., was for yeare a sufferer trow spinal trouble, which eventually resutted in partial+ paralysis. Treatment of many kinds wae resorted to, but without avail uotil fiaalf, Dr. Wil- liame’ Pink Pille were used, with the re sult that Mr. McDonald ie again exjoying almost perfect health. Mr. McDonaid’s story is given as follows in his own words :—“‘Aimost thirteen years ago I caughta bad cold which lodged in my back, producing @ terrible pain. The trouble became so bad that I could hardly walk and conld not go out of doors after dark, ae I would be almost certain to fall if | attempted to walk. Medical treatment did'me no good, I tried six different doctors, butthe result was alwayathe same. It was timply money «wasted, Years wenton sad] was continually growing worse, uutil in the spring of 1895 my lower limbs would hardly support me. In June of that year { went t© the Victoria General Hospital, Halifax, where I re- mained for two months under the treat- ment of the best specialiste, but when I

begun, and |

}

returned home I was actually worse than when I entered the hoepita). I continued

- to grow wore? until about the first of

January, 1896, when | became so bad [| could not stand alone, as my legs were like sticks under me. Myocly means of locomotion waa crutches, acd my lege dragged after me like useless pieces of timber; I could not raise them one inch from the floor. About the first of the fol- lowing Apm!, Rev. Mr. McLeod strongly urged me to try Dr. Williame’ Piok Pille. I had tried to many things without benefit, that I did aot think the pills could Lelp me, but neverthelees decided to give them a trial. After usiog six boxes I could tee that there was a slight improvement, and lecottinued using the pills unti! I had taken thirty boxee, and by that time new life and vigor bad returned to my legs,and I have since been atle to attend ww my business behind the counter without the aid of crutches or even a tick.

Mr. Ww. J Nicholson, of Dundas,.P. E. Island, says: in the tall of 1895 1 got a wetting which brought on # severe cold. Aittle Tater the muscles of my limbs began to get stifi and sore. I called in a doctor, who pronounced the trouble to be paralysis of the muscles, aad al though I was under his treatment for some time I did not improve any. I then called im another doctor, who said the trouble was muscular rheumatism, sod

for some months I[ was under bis care, but without relief. Finally the doctor told me that he

could not help me and I was left suffering severely, perfectly helpless and with no hopes of get:ing better. The prospect wa not a pleasant one, bu! fortunately relief was nearer than I anticipated. I hed read much ahout Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and as doctors had failed meI determined to try the pills. To be brief, I used ten boxes in all and they completely restored me to my former good health, I have aot since had any relapee and should I again need a medicine Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I am sure will not failme.

EMPEROR ON THE WAR.

HE DISCUSSES THE SITUATION IN AN

IMPARTIAL MANNER,

It is stated that at a recent reception of the Presidents of the Prussian Chambers Emperor William discussed the South African war in the most im- partial manner. He praised the suc— cessful tactics of the Boers, who, with— out swords or bayonets, and relying solely on their rifles, had done so well. Atthe same time His Majesty expressed the deepest regret that so many of the best English families were mourning the heroic deaths of hus- bands, fathers, and sons. The Em- peror deplored the. attitude of the German press, which rendered it most difficult for him to avoid friction with England. He recalled Prince Bismarck’s remark : “We must pay for the windows broken by our press.”

REAL GALLANT SOUL.

GENERAL WAUCHOPE’S LAST MENTION OF GENERAL METHUEN,

The widow of Gen. Wauchope, in an open letter, hotly denies the stories that the general in any way criticised General Methuen. She says General Wauchope’s last mention of General Methuen to her was contained in a letter from the Orange River, dated Nov. 29, as follows:—*“I expect Metkuen will halt at Modder River for some days before pushing forward. He has had a hard time of it, and must be a real gallant soul to shove along a3 he does.”

Lord Wolseley has also issued a de- nial ef the report that the War Office is In possession of a letter trom Gener- al Wauchope, written the night before the battle of Magersfontein, saying it would be the last letter he would write, as he had been asked to perform an impossible task, and he had either to obey or surrender his sword.

WAR INCIDENTS.

BOER IGNORANCE.

A few interesting stories come in from time to time from the hospitals. One correspondent writes from Orange River :-—

The Boer prisoners in hospital still continue to prosper and wax fat. I was speaking to one of them the other day. He was an exceedingly interest— ing man, and the half hour’s conversa- tion was very instuctive to me. He was educated at Stellenbosch, the Cape Dutch university centre, and was one of the last men one would imagine to. have any mistaken notion as to Britain’s resources, and yet, he in- formed me, he had been under the impression that the English army con- sisted of six thousand soldiers.

‘But surely,” 1 argued, “you must

more than six thousand! You read the papers, you have a knowledge of the world—”

“My friend the Boer prisoner shook his head with a wise smile.

“I have seen only accounts of a big English army in Englishpapers. What would be easier than for your com- mander-in-chief to put down an extra hundred thousand troops on paper ? If you have so many troops, why are you sending to India, Canada, Aus- tralia and China for assistance ?

“I did not attempt to explain.”— London Telegraph.

FORMIDABLE BRITISH SHIP,

WAR-

_ The new battleship Montague, now in course of construction at Devonport dock yards, will be equipped with the most complete propelling machinery ever placed in a modern man-of-war The engines will be the most powerful ever used in a battleship, developing an 18,000 indicated horse-power, or 3,000 in excess of the engines of other Ships of the bulwark type, they being the most powerful in the service of Great Britain. The difference in the horse-power of the Montague’s power- ful eng-nes will only give the ship an increas ed speed of one knot.

The two sets of triple expansion en- gines and thirty Belleville water tube

boilers will cost $750,000. The total

know that the British army consists of

——

cost of the new warship will be ove!-

$5,000,000, and its gun equipment will be so complete as to make it the most formidable war vessel afloat.

It is the purpose. of jthe Admiralty te construct the other proposed battle— ships of the navy on the same lines as the Montague, and the completion of this ship. will furnish a model for the English first-class battleships of the future.

PRETORIA IS DISTURBED.

The correspondent of the Times at Lorenzo Marques, telegraphing re- cently, says: “News, from the republics is exceedingly meagre, but it is report - ed that Pretoria is much perturbed. This is confirmed from diflerent sources and today it is even hinte: that the Boers are about ta sue for peace. Thisis improbable till they have played their trump card in the shape of an appeal for intervention. It is an undoubted fact that they are bitterly disappointed at the apparent apathy of the continental powers.

THE TRANSVAAL WAR.

IT WILL BE A BENEFIT TO CANADA,

Advices received by the C. P. R. in- dicate that a fresh interest is being tak- en by British capitalists in British Col- umbia and the Yukon, since the Trans- vaal war demonstrated the uncertainty of South Africa as a field for specula— tion and profit. British capitalists have been bitten by ventures in the Domin- ion which made dazzling promise to credulous minds. One of these is men- tioned by a C. P. R..official. A party, claiming to be a well known figure in the Yukon, who was said to be worth fifty million dollars, appeared to the capitalists of London, with his pockets filled with gold nuggets from the Yu- kon. He hada valuable proposition which he was_ unable to work himself, but which he he was quite willing to dispose of for a consideration. Well known men became interested ; the negotiations proceeded, and the deeds were about to be signed when a certain person, who had been apprized of the proceedings, rose in the meecing and denounced the speculator as an im- postor.

The Dominion stands deservedly high in regard to govermental and other legitimate enterprises, but the in- dividual wildcat scheme has been heard of too frequently, and, as a fact, big money has been dropped from time to time. ‘This has made capital cautious at last, and even legitimate enterprises have to run the severest gauntlet of criticism in consequence.

Temporarily at least South Africa is a disappointment to the man who has capital to invest, and the Lendon agents of the C. P. R. report brisk en- quiries in relation to British Columbia mines and the Yukon territory. A striking diversion in favor of the latter places may be expected in the near future. In the spring, indeed, it is understood that a large amount of fresh capital will be invested i: British Col- umbia for development purposes, while machinery and other modern ap- pliances are to be applied to the con- ditions governing the Yuken, It is recognized that Canada, developing peacefully, and possessing, as a matter of fact, the greatest mineral wealth of any country in the world, offers peculiar attraction to the capitalist, who has rather neglected the Dominion, while his interest and passion were centred in South Africa.

In regard to British Columbia, the C. P. R. has not been idle. It has spent many millions of dollars during the past five years in offering facilities to the mining interests which, it may be stated, received their first impetus from the personal investments of the C. P. R. directors. It has been criti- cised for silencing opposition in a cer- tain direction, but it has always con- tended that as it made the initial de- velopment possible on the Pacific

coast. It should be permitted to*con--

tinue that development unmolested. It has Sprovided branch lines to every

important mining centre, while, under special arrangements, it has erected smelters, the lack of which hithero put a great deal of business into the hands of the Americans.

With regard to the Yukon, advices

indicate that while capital will be pour- ed into the country in the spring and. summer,a considerable number of youn

Got the Correct’ Time.

Jake Foster was for many years one of the characters of Oregon, Mo. He drove the hack between Oregou and Forest City and was known to every man, woman and child in Holt county. Oregon is three miles from the railroad and for many years was not conuected with any other town by either tele graph or telephone. One morning Rob- ert Montgomery hailed Foster as the hack started for Forest City and said:

“Jake, I wish you would get the cor- rect time at forest. My watch stopped last night.”

“All right, Bob,” said Jake.

When Jake returned from Forest, he put up his team and walked around tc the bank where Montgomery presided. Stalking inte the bank, Jake stepped up to the window and laid down a soiled bit of paper bearing the figures “41 :37."

“What is that?” asked Montgomery in astonishment.

“That,” replied Jake, “is the correct time at FYorest.”—Omaha World-Her- ald.

Lungs and Long Lite.

One of the most remarkable cases of lengevity on record was that of an Englishman, born in 1483, whose deli- cate appearance made all the doctors give him up when he was in the cra- die. His chest was so narrow, says the report, that he seemed to have difficulty in breathing. Well, this young moribund, condemned by the doctors to die in short order, died in 1651 at the age of 169. He saw the reign of ten kings.

Secundi Hango, consul of Venice at Smyrna, measured only 57 centimeters around the chest, and one of his lungs was diseased. Nevertheless he lived to the age of 115 years. He was mar- ried five times and had 49 children. When he was 100 years old, he got his wisdom teeth. When he was 110, his hair turned black again. At 112 his eyebrows and his beard turned black.

Proved His Theory.

The late Hall McAllister some years ago entertained a visiting scientist at the Union club, before its amalgama- tion with the Pacific, and during the evening, a particularly foggy one, made some whimsical remark convey: ing the idea that feg was an excellent conductor of sound.

The scientist took exception to this novel theory and asked Mr. McAllister on what it was based.

“On phenomena which we have all observed,” returned the ready jurist. “On an evening like this we hear the fog horn quite distinctly, but when there is no fog we cannot hear it at all.”"—San Francisce Argonaut.

Slip of the Tongue.

“What do you sell that ribbon for?” asked a young lady in a High street dry goods store,

“Eight dollars a week-—oh, beg par- don, 25 cents a yard, madam.”—Colum- bus (O.) State Journal.

Urappreciative.

“Shall | sing ‘Because I Love You? ” asked Mrs. Darley as she seated her- self at the piano.

“No,” replied Mr. Darley, who is a erute. “if you love me, don’t sing.”— Detroit Free Press.
