Prostration

Nervous

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 a great sufferer with nervous prostration

and palpitation of the heart. I was weak in my limbs and had smothered sensa-

tions, At last my physician advised me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla which I did, and i am happy to say that I am now

strong aud well. Iam still using Hood’s Sarsaparilla and would not be without it, I recommend it to all who are suffering with nervous prostration and palpitation of the heart.” Mrs. Darron, 56 Alice St., Toronto, Ontario. Get Hood’s, because

MENS DEBATING

The meeting of this society, on the 20th inst., forthe discussion of the subject “Which is the better country fr our voung men, Canada or the United States,” was Jarzely attended and the debate was thoroughly interesting from beginning to end. she United Statea side of the ques- tion was taken np by Malcolm McLeod, Svlomon Cavanagh, J. P. Morrissey and F. M. Melonis, who argued in eflect that the States is a much finer country than Canada in every respect, there being more business and enterprise there, aud taking all the advantages of the great Republic into consideration, she isa much _ better country for our young men than Canada.

The speakers for Canada were Matthias Pranght, Seymour Young, KE. J. Carrier and D. E. Nelson, who boasted of Cana- da’s superiority to the Statee in reapect to her fisheries and agr cultnre, in her lack of galling hardtimes, paupe’s, rio s,!ynches, strikes and d sregard of the laws, fur all of which the States is notorious, and pointing with commendable patriotic pride to the wonderful resources of this, our own dear native land. The speakers ex- pressed their firm bel’ef “that Canada was destined in time to become one of the greatest nations of the earth if her sons stand true to ber and continue to build upon the foundations laid by America’s greatest statesman, the late Sir John A. Macdonald;” The debate was brought to a close with a lengthy and able review cf the arguments by Mr. Nelson, the chair- man, J. McInnis, giving his decision in favor of the States,

On the 27th inst., the society held its next meeting and discussed the subject, “Should capital punishment be abolish- ed?” Those arguing in the affirmative were Matthias Praughi, Solomon Cavan- agh and Seymour Young; in the negative, C.E. Nelson, Ma'cole McLeod, R. 8. Mutch and P. F. Doyle. Chairman, Mr. KE. J. Carrier. The good and bad phases of capital punishment were thoroughly discussed by the speakers at this debate, which was concluded by the chairman giving his decision in favor of capital pun- ishment. A vote of thanks being tendered Mr. Carrier for his impartial decision, and a subject selected fur next Friday evening, the meeting was brought to a close.

CHANGE Of NAME,

Pursuant to notice a public meeting of the resident householders of Belle Creek school district was held in the schoolhouse on Monday, the 30th inst., to consider the advisability of changing the name of the district. Mr. Wm. J. Emery was appointed chairman and D. McLaren

secretary. The chairman stated the ob- j-ct of the meeting, and several persons exprested their opinion favoring the

change. It wasthen moved by Joseph Sanders, seconded by Neil Bel], and unan- imousiy carried, that this district be here- ifier called and known as Belle River, is- stead of Belie Creek. Ww. J. Emery, Chairman. D. McLaren, Secretary. Belle River, Dec. 30, 1895. -_-_--ooo NORTH RIVER SOCIAL,

The entertainment and basket social held at North River on Thursday, 25th Dec., wa: a grand success. Long before ie hour appointed for opening the spa- vious hail was filled to the door, a goodly number being present from the city. Mr. L. E. Prowse acted as chairman, and a very excellent programme was carried out, Aferan instrumental solo by Miss Ella S:evenson, the chairman gave some humorous remarks. Then followed the beaut.ful chorus “England,” by the choir. The choir throrghout made a most favor- ab'e iimpre<sion on the audience by their spirited choruses. An instrumental] duet ty Mr. ard Miss Moreside was well re- ceived. Readings by Mr. Wil- ijiam Horriel and Mr. Thomas Movreside, and a dia'ogue, “The Stolen Pig,” by Messrs. McKinlay and Horriel con- iributed not a little to the pleasure of the occasion. A very notable feature of the entertainment was a vocal duet by the Misses Stevenson. It was rendered in admirable style. The male quartette, “Spreading a Rumor,” by Measrs. Howard, Dickendortt, Warren and McKinlay, wa: rendered in perfect harmony and was warmly received. It might be eaid to be the great event of the evening. The enter- tainment being ended another feature pre- sented itself. The sale of the baskets com- menced. Messrs. McWilliams, F. H. Horne and L. E. Prowse acted as auction: eers. The amount realized was in the vicinity of $70, which goes in aid of the hall. Nottill midnight did the audience break up, when each young man went his —0cr rather her—own way.

A REISIARKABLE CASE,

Rheumatism of 20 yoars’ standing radically cured by Scott's Sarsaparilia.

Mrs. Sarsh Browning, an estimable resident of the Ambitious City, was for twenty years a sufferer from acute rheu- matism, and her restoration to health is soremarkable that we present the case for the benefit of our readers, many of whom are doubtless sufferers from this painful complaint which arises from blood poison. Mrs. Browning says: “I used only one bottle of Scott’s Sarsaparilla and received such benefit that I continued taking only at intervals for two months. That is seven months ago, and the pain has not returned, I had spent a fortung in various “ treatments ” and was told by one medical man that a cure was ime possible as I had suffered solong.”

Scott’s Sarsaparilla cures by making and keeping the blood pure. It increases flesh by digesting flesh-forming foods, It is the most successful medicine in the world to-day, for dyspepsia, nervous troubles, rheumatism, sciatica, syphilitic afflictions, pimples and all diseases originating in a foul condition of the blood. Dose from one half to one tea

A MUMMY OF TO-DAY.

4a O:leutal Prince Embalmed by a Lon- don Doctor.

In a white-draped mortuary at the back of 38 Keppel street. Russell square, is a quiet-looking eanly Victorian red brick house of exactiy similar appear- ance to hundreds of other houses in red brick rows in Bloomsbury, the body of his Jate Highness, the Sultan of Johore, is lying embalmed in semi-state. The house is that of Dr. Charles Bayle, Chevalier de la Legion a’ Honneur, Com- mander de la Gregoire-le-Grand, a French scientist, Who has made a special study of the art of embalming. When you enter at the street door the faint scent of heavy perfume strikes you and grows less faint as you walk along the hall. ‘Then a door is opened—you notice that it is painted in the prevailing Bloomsbury tint on the outside and hung with white cloth on the

inside. As you walk down white-carpet- ed stairs in a chamber built out at the back cf the house where once was a

garden, tie heavy perfume comes af you heavier and more powerful, and separates itself into several distinct and conflict- ing Before you, hiding some- thing behind it, is a screen, all white, standing in a room of which the walls and ceilings are covered with white, seen in whi.e, soft, subdued light, coming from a skylight veiled with white cloth. The screen h ces everything in the room but its ghostly seif, and, high upon the white hangings of the opposite wall,is the crescent and star of the East in dull red that tirusts itself out from the white like a moaning in the night.

‘the dim whiteness of the room, the heavy rerfames, the somber touch of the vei, iell quite as plainly what itis that lies behind the sereen as could black vei- vet and silver, burning tapers, and the camp scent of dying tlowers. In the mid- die of the room, on a low trestle’ bed, white draped, the dead Sultan lies, te all appearances calmly and peacefully asleep. Dr. Bavle’s balsams have changed

scents,

death into sleep, and he lies with his gray mustache and wavy hair and his black arched eyebrows, his handsome,

soldieriy, dusky features smoothed and softened, and with his eyelids lightly closed in the calm and perfect repose which easy slumber briags to the face of the man of the world. He looks exactly as one who knew anything of the Sultan would expect him to look in sleep. On his breast there lies a bound manuscript copy of the Koran, and under it, placed there by the priest in accordance with some custom or belief, a pair of scissors. On the white floor at the side of the bed are the large paper bags of perfunie—one of rosemary, one of patchouli, and the other of rese leaves. The rosemary is for remembrance, as Well as for pangent odor, and, perhaps, besides their strong perfumes, the patchouli and the dried and crumpled rose leaves may have their meanings. The wonderful triumph over decay has been effected by Dr. Bayle’s system of arterial injection.

But not that system only has been car- ried out. In the Oriental system of em-

halming, the hody is eviscerated and the organs removed and purified. In the old days they knew no other way, and

what they did in the old days is, aceord- ing to Kastern ideas, the only decorous thing to-day. So the doctor has taken out the internal organs, washed and cleansed them, applisd his preservative treatment to them separately, and then replaced them in their proper positions, But that was only to satisfy the ideas of the Sultan’s court as to what was right and in crder. Still, it was not necessary; it was not scientific, Dr. Bayle says.

Four pints of the preservative fluid. of which be holds the secret, forced through the arteries by air pressure, would have sufficed. ‘‘You see,’’ he says, ‘‘the body is already beginning to dry; the hand be- comes to be a piece like of woou; the foot,it is the same; the face, I treat it in a different way, so as to keep it the ap- pearance of softness; but you shall see that ear; it is already like a piecs of leather.’ The ear looks warm and soft and natural enough, but when you touch it it is set stiff and hard. The legs are bound tightly around with = straps of cloth, and another go3s unjler each in- step, ke»ping the feet in position.

In a day or twothe binding will be varnished, and then all will be ready for the sleeping Sultan to ba put in his coffin with the rosemary the patch- ouli and rese leaves on top of him.

“And those bandages are not removed when the embalming is complete?’ the visitor asked. ‘‘Tnose bandages,”’ said the doctor, ‘‘shall be removed never,”’ Never is a long time.

The Sultan—bis fall name was Tunkoo Abubikr bin Ibrahim, known a; Abu Bekar, Sultan of Johore, or, more cor- rectly, the Tumongong—died officially on Tuesday the 4th of June, 1895. This was the day on which his ministers and court, having in the meantime, no doubt, taken the necessary precautions as to affairs in Johore, finally abandoned all hope of his being still alive. On that same day the body was taken to Dr. Bayle, and there were then present in- dications that his death had taken place quite a week earlier, The embalmed body will remain where it is for two months longer, and then the Sultan will go back to Johore to be buried in the tomb of his fathers.—Pall Mall Gazette.

One on the Judge,

The late Judge Snell, of Washington, a well known son of Maine, was very fond of croquet, and, when not busy with his official duties, could often be found with mallet in hand, engaged in his favorite game. One morning, while presiding over the Police Court, a young boy was brought before him, charged with playing ball un the street The policeman who arrested the boy testified that he caught the boy in theacz ‘Fine him $5.00,’’ said the judge. “This ball-playing on the street must be stopped.’’

The boy's fatier was present ard suge gested to the judge that he would like to question the policeman a little before the fine was imposed, so Jucze Snell ordered the policeman into the witness box again. After a little close questioning the officer finaliy admitted that the boys were play- ing ball on a vacant lot, and this boy had knocked the ba!! out into thestreet. Make that fine $2, Mr. Clerk,’’ said Judge Snell. the case is not quite so bad as I thought it was.’’

‘“*But your honor,”’ said the boy's father, not long ago up on One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street Isaw a game of cro- quet in which a high court officer was en- gaged, andl saw that officer spitefully knock his opponent’s ball clear across the street, and—”’

“Take off that other $2, Mr. Clerk; I don’t believe this boy was doing wrong, after all.’’

And the judge Jay back in his chair and laughed heartily as he remembered what a whack he gave his opponent's bal! in the game referred to,—Lewiston Journal,

SOME NEW TRICK ELEPHANTS. |

They Understand English and Weep When Reprimanded,

Some trained elephents are now being exhibited in New York by a Scotch travel- er named Lockhart, who has edacated them himself, and unlike many trainers, says that affection and confidence are the secrets of controlling this most interesting of beasts. Lockhart is a dapper little man; has large and kindly black eyes and dresses in the plainest maaner possible. He does net carry a gold-headed cane, nor does he wear a diamond cross, But as an elephant trainer be is a genius of the first water.

‘*The secret of my success, I believe,’ said Mr. Lockhart, “‘lies in constant atten- tion, kindness, and when necessary, abso- lute firmness. On arriving at a new town I invariably see my elephants comfortably stowed away and fed before I go to my own hotel. Except for the early breakfast Iam always present at their meals. I bring them sweetmeats, buns, knots of sugar, and when they are sick I attend to them carefully. Then they look to me for everything. They know every word I say, and do everything I wish, so far as they can. I treat them just as I would chil- dren. Indeed, I am much more careful of them than Iam of my own children, be- cause while I have tosupport my children, the elephants in point of fact support me”?

‘‘What is your mode of punishment?’

“*Well, really, the animals are so fond of me and £0 tractable, that beyond a stern look and an occasional harsh word, little is needed. Of course, I can always cut off supplies—that is, reduce their food, and this they feel very strongly. A few nights ago Molly was somewhat slow at her tricks on the stage, and as I passed her one time I gave her a fierce scowl, and growled be tween my teeth, ‘This is very bad. 1 shall not be friends with you.’ Moliy is the most tender hearted of the three, and was very much cut up. When the curtain fellshe followea me tothe stable with great tears rolling down her cheeks,and it was not until I had made friends, and told her that she was forgiven, that she became herself again.’’

**How long does it take to teach them a ‘trick,’ or a point in the performance, whatever you may term it?’’

“Well, that all depends. Of course, Boney: is the cleverest, and picks up things quicker than the others, and, in fact, she helps to teach them. Some trifling move- ments which you have seen on the stage have cost me two years’ assiduous labor. A single movement I have made them re- peat from 50 to 100 times a dey. But, once they have it, I can rely upon them. I have only to give the sign and they are there. One of the most difficult things was to get Boney to understand that she must keep time, regular time, in playing the organ. But, now she understands it, her time-keeping is that of a born musi- cian. As for the tricycle, it was more difficult to design a machine than to teach Boney to ride. She took to it without any great difficulty, and, in spite of some ac- cidents, she has always shown wonderful intelligence in steering.’’

“*What were the accidents?’

“Well, on one occasion, on a somewhat small and sloping stage when we were in France, Boney could not make the turn in time, and ran into the orchestra. The players fortunately foresaw the avalanche and got out of the way, but the machine was ruined. On another ocvasion, on a small stage at Buda-Pesth, Molly overbal- anced herself while standing on her head on a barrel, and toppled over on the big drum, doing damage which cost me $30 to repair. As arale, however, they are won- derful. The manner in which their busi- ness is carried on on the stage proves how thoroughly they are in touch with me, I have only to give them the word and the thing is done.’’—Springfield Republican.

Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temper- ance,

**Be thou vigilant, labor in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry. Be sober.’’ II. Tim. iv., 8. These cardinal virtues of Christianity are the characteristics of the true faith, and the source of all other yirtue. The epistles of St. Paul are full of warning against the evils that surround us, as well as of admonition to practise justice, not only in dealing with our neighbors, but towards God and even toward our- selves, likewise they are teeming with words of encouragement to combat bravely all triais for the love of God, as also to be temperate in all things. By aquiring the virtue of prudence we are enabled to discern the evils of the world, to know God, and to practise the duties of a Christian life. Justice enables us to ‘‘render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s,’’ to act conscientiously to- wards our neighbors in all things, and *“*to God tha things that belong to God,’’ doing His will and in all things seeking His giory. Fortitude strengthens and «encourages us in the path of Christian virtue, besides giving us strength to re- sist temptation, and to bear bravely all trials for the love of God. Temperance is an essential vitruc, and by faithfully preserving it we are strengthened in jife and blessed with many spiritual graces.

‘‘He that is abstinent, saith the wise man, shall increase in life.’’ A practical Christian will not be satisfied with

merely fulfilling the law of God, by dis- charging the duties required of him, but he will likewise endeavor to strengthen his faith by the practice of such virtues as will increase his sanctity and promote God's glory, in fact, it is asmuch a duty to emulate all true virtue as to profess our faith, inasmuch as ‘‘Faith without good works ayaileth nothing.’’ Besides, it is eminently meritorious, fur by so

doing we not only draw down great blessings on ourselves in this life, but

we thereby store up rich treasures in Heaven, which will greatly increase our inheritance, towards which we are eyer looking forward.—Francis S Mitchell,

A Good Kackground,

One great difference between men of equal capacity and opportunity is to he found in the background of their lives, One man goes to his work in the morning from a pleasant home, and from the de- lightful atmosphere of mutual consider- ation and love. Another's home sur- rounding: and family relationships are not congenial or inspiring. Is it sur- prising that one man addresses himself to his tasks with a zest and nerve that make work easy, while the other finds that things drag on his hands, and that he is soon worn out? One of the secrets of many a man’s success is the back- ground of a happy home life. And many a good man hus failed, not because he lacked in ability or energy, but because those who stood in the most intimate re- lations to him were too stupid or uncon- genial to make his home life winsome. Of course, men have truimphed over this obstacle just as they have over others, but the force they expend in overcoming such drawbacks is just so much sub- tracted from their efficiency in the work of life.
