Nervous Prostration
It is now a well established fact in medical science that nervousness is due to impure blood. Therefore the true way to cure nervousness is by purify- ing and enriching the blood. The great blood purifier is Hood’s Sarsa parilla. Read this letter:
“For the last two years I have been « great sufferer with nervous prostration
and palpitation of the heart. J] was weak iu my limbs and had smothered sensa- tions. At last my physician advised me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla which I

THE MAN WHO DID NOT BELIEVE IN LUCK.
“UPUsaing the fosu a unger: eee tome. Ithought I would raffle it. At once I set to-werk to find a house where there might seem to be a likely lot. It cost me three or four whiskies—for I felt I didn’t want any more beer, which is a thing which easily upsets me—but at length I found just the crowd I wanted~—a quiet, domestic looking set in a homely little place off the Gosweil road.
“T explained my views to the landlord. Me said he had no objection; he supposed I would stand drinks roundafterwards, I said I should be delighted to do so, and showed him the bird.
“It looks a bit poorly,’ he said “~~ 9
He felt it all over and smelled it
ond flung itat me. I dodged, and it caught the back of my head. You can have ne idea, if you’ve never been hit on the head with a goose, how it hurts. I picked it up and hit him back with it; and a policeman carse up with the usual: “Now then, what's all this about”
“I explained the facts. The poulterer stepped to the edge of the curb and apos- trophized the universe generally.
***Look at the shop,’ he said; ‘it’s twenty minutes to twelve, and there’s seven dozen geese hanging there that I’m willing to give away, and this fool asks me if I want to buy another.’
“| perceived then that my notion had been a foolish one, and I followed the policeman’s advice,and went away quietly, taking the bird with me.
“Then I said to myself: ‘I'll give it away. I'll pick out some poor deserving person, and make them a present of the d—d thing.’ I passed a good many people, but no one who looked deserving enough. It may have been the time or it may have been the neighborhood, but those I met seemed to me to be unworthy of the bird. I offered it toa man in Judd street, who I thought appeared hungry. He turned out to be a drunken ruffian. I could not make him understand what I meant, and he followed me down the road abusing me at the top of his voice, until, turning a corner without knowing it, he plunged down Tavistock place, shouting after the wrong man. In the Euston road I stopped a half-starved child and pressed it upon her. She answered ‘Not me! and ran away. I heard hercalling shrilly after me: ‘Who stole the goose?’
“I dropped it ina dark part of Seymour street. A man picked it up and brought itafterme. Iwas unequal to any more explanations or arguments. I gave him twopence and plodded on with it once more. The pubs were just closing, and I went into one fora final drink. As a mat- ter of fact I had had enough already. be- ing, asI am, unaccustomed to anything, more than an occasional glass of beer. But I felt depressed, and I thought it might cheer me. I think I had gin, which isa thing I loathe.
“I meant to throw it over into Oakley square, but a policeman had his eye on me and followed me twice round the railings. In Golding road I sought to drop it down an area, but was frustrated in like man- ner. The whole night police of London seemed to have nothing else to do but pre- vent my getting rid of the goose.
“They appeared so anxious about it that I fancied they might like to have it. I went up to one in Camden street. I called him ‘Bobby,’ and asked him if he wanted a@ goose.
“I'll tell you what I don’t want,’ he replied, severely; ‘and that is none of your sauce.’
“He was very insulting, and I naturally answered him back. What actually passed I forget, but it ended in his an- nouncing his intention of taking me in charge.
“I slipped out of his hand and bolted down King street. He blew his whistle and started after me. A man sprang out from a doorway in College street and tried tostop me. I tied him up witha butt in the stomach and cut throng: the Crescent, doubling back into the Camden road by Batt street.
“At the canal bridge I looked behind me and could see no one. I dropped the goose over the parapet and it fell with a splash into the water.
“Heaving a sigh of relief, I turned and crossed into Randolph street, and there a constable collared me. I was arguing with him when the first fool came up breathless. They told me I bed better ex- plain the matter to the @Mspector, and I thougkt so to.
“The inspector asked me why I had run away when the constakle wanted to take me incharge. I replied that it was be- cause I did not desire to spend my Xmas holidays in the lock-up, which he evident- ly regarded as a singularly weak argu- ment. He asked me what I had thrown into the canal. I told him a goose. He asked me why I had thrown a goose intc the canal. Itold him because I was sick and tired of the animal.
“At this stage a sergeant came in to say that they had succeeded in picking up-the parcel. They opened it on the inspector’s table. It contained a dead baby.
“I pointed out to them that it wasn’t my parcel, and that it wasn’t my baby; but they hardly took the trouble to dis- guise the fact that they did not believe me.
“The inspector said it was too grave a case for bail, which, seeing that I did not know a soul in London, was somewhat immaterial. I got them to send a tele- giam to my young lady te say that I was unavoidably detained in town, and passed as quiet afd uneventful a Xmas day and Boxing day as I ever wish to spend.
“In the end the evidence against me was held to be insufficient to justify a convic- tion, and I got off on the minor charge of drunk and disorderly. But TI lost my situ- ation and I lost my young lady, andI don’} care if I never see a goose again.”’
We were nearing Liverpool street. He collected his luggage, and, taking up his hat, made an attempt to put it on his head. But in consequence of the swelling caused by the horseshoe it would not go anywhere near him; and he laid it sadly back upon the seat.
“No,” he said, quietly; “I can’t say that I believe very much in luck.”
Novel Bird-Scaring Device.
Some of the farmers of the Eifel, the district that lies between the frontier of Belgium and the Rhine, adopt a novel plan for scaring the birds from the wheat. A number of poles are set up in the corn- fields, and a wire is conducted from one to the other, just like the telegraph posts that are placed along our railways. From the top of each poles there hangs a bell, which is connected with the wire. Now, in the valley a brook runs along, witha current strong enough to turn a small water-wheel, to which the wire is fastened. As the wheel goes around it jerks the wire, and so the bells in the different fields are set tinkling. The bells thus mysteri- ously rung frighten the birds from the grain, and even excite the woader of men and women until they discover the secret. This simple contrivance is found to serve to serve its purpose very well.

MARK IT WELL.
A Development Peculiar to the Present Gencration Dangerous and Often Fatal. As each generation comes and goes it
is marked by changes, developments and discoveries unknown toits predeces- sors. From a physical standpoint one of the most to be dreaded conditions and peculiar for its rapid increase during the ponnent generation, is when the mind abors under the delusion of persecution, continual restlessness, pain in the back and head, twitching of the muscles of the face and hands, furred tongue, breath foul and heavy, nausea and further indications of stomach troub'e. There may be de- lirium, convulsions or sinking spells. Medical authorities apply different names to the conditions that are unintelligible to the average reader. ‘The actual fact is the demoralized and dangerous state of the system is due to the accumulation of “Body Poison’’ in the blood that should and would be thrown off by the Kidneys if in a healthy condition. In order to re- store health, strike at the root of the dis- ease with Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills, the only medicine known that will control the changes going on in the Kidneys, enabi- ing them to furnish for the whole system blood free from disease-breeding poiso

CANADIAN FOLK-SONGS.
Old Ballads Yiat Were Sung Centuries Ago in Normandie and Peovenc’.
French Canada is one of the an*tes- tral homes of song. Here you en still listen to those quaint ballads whieh were sung centuries ago in Nornandts and Provence. “A ia Claire Fontainu-,” “Dans Paris y a-t-une Brune j-lus Belle que Je Jour,” “Sur le Pont i Av- ignon,” “En Roulant ma Boule,’ “iA Poulette Grise,” und a hundred other folksongs linger among the peasants and voyagevrs of these Northern woods. You may hear
“Malbroucks f'en va-t-en guerre--
Mironton, mironton, mirontaine!” and
“Isabeau S‘y promene le long de son jardin,”
chanted in the farm-house or the lum- ber shanty, to the tunes which have come down from «zn unknown source, and never Jost their echo in the hearts of the people,
Our Ferdinand was a perfect foun- tain of music. He had a char tenor voice, and solaced every task and shortened every voyage with melody,
“A song, Ferdinand, a jolly song,’ the other men would s y, as the canous went sweeping down the quici lake. And then the leader would strike up 4 Well-known air, and his companions would come in with refrain, keeping time with the stroke of their paddles, Sometimes it would be a merry ditty:
“My father had no girl but me, And yet he sent me Off to sea. Leap, my little Cecilia.”
Or perhaps it was:
“T’ve danced so much the livelong day, Dance, my sweetheart, let’s be gay, I’ve fairly danced my shoes away,
Till evening. Dance, my pretty, dance once more, Dance until we break the floor.”
But more frequently the song was teuched with a plaintive, pleasant melancholy. The minstrel told how he had gone into the woods and heard the nightingale, and she had confided t¢ him that lovers are often unhappy. The story of La Belle Francoise was repeated in minor cadences—how her Sweetheart sailed away to the wars, and when he came back the v.lisge church bells were ringing and he said to himself that Francoise had been faitriess and the chimes were for her wedding, but when he entered the church it was her funeral he saw, for she had died cf love. It is strange how sorrow charms us when it is dis- tant and visionary, Even when we are happiest we enjoy making music
“Of old, unhappy, far-off things.”
“What is that song which you are singing, Ferdinand?” asks the lady, as she hears him humming behind her in the canoe.
“Ah, madame, it is the chanson of a young man who demands of his blonde why she will not marry him, :He says that he has waited long time, and the flowers are falling from the rose-tre2 and he is very sa¢.”
“And does she give a reason?”
“Yes, madame—that 1s to say a rea- son of a certain scrt; she declares that she is not quite ready; he must walt unti] the rose-tree adorns itself again.”
“And what is the end—do they get married at last?”
“But I do not know, madame. The chanson does not go so far. It ceases with the complaint of the young man. And it is a very uncertain affair—this affair of the heirt—is it not?”
Then, as if he turned from such per- plexing mysteries to something plain and sure and easy to understand, he breaks out into the jolliest of all Can- adian songs:
“My bark canoe that flies, that flies, Hola! my bark canoe!”

India’s Railways.
The Directcr General of Railways in India reports that some 45 different railway p:ojects have recently been ap- proved by the Government, and are now in course of construction. The va- rious lines will, when completed, ag- gregate 6,163 miles of railway. The private enterprises are encouraged by certain concessions from the Govern- ment, such as free use of land and provision of rolling stock. The Parlia- mentary Commission, which has in- vestigated into the resources of India, has reported that 60,000 miles of rail- wey are needed in India to develop the resources of the country.
Pneumatic Hat Making.
A felt hat is now mede by a pnen- matic proce’s. A conical cup perforate ed with holes is provided. The air be- neath is exhausted, while by a curious device the felt is forced evenly to ail paris of the Outside of the receiver, and by the strong pressure and rush of the air, is thrown upon the frame and distributed, thus forming the basis for the hat.
