Here, I think, I may eafely say, that the rights of no other government of- ficers are so much abused as those of our public school teachers. The remarkably fine weather of this sea son has increased the spirits of Covehead people to such an extent that mothers of beautiful marriageable daughters are be- wailing their losses, while the number of daughters-in-law has increased consider- ably, but withal the number of want-to- be daughters-in-law, are still in a large majority.

PAPINEAUVILLE, Feby. 3 (Special)— The father of the boy LaFlamme is one } of the leading merchants here and willing to talk of his son’s cure, he says—‘My little boy Arthur, after scarlet fever about a year ago never recovered and his _ ail- meut ran into a kidney trouble. His body was swollep to twice its natural size. The sufferings of the little fellow were very severe and we had all given up hope of him. Bat three months ago we commenc- ed giving him Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and to-day he is romping and playing with other boys.” This as an instance of prompt cure is very remarkable. —— Late advices from Wellfleet, Neb., state that Mrs. Jane Houston, the bank presi- denvs wife, lost diamonds and other jewe]- ry the other night valued at $800 Mort Green, whom the authorities were shadow- ing #8 a dangerous suspect, dropped into the Free Methodist revival meeting during the night of the robbery, just ia time to hear Mrs. Houston explaining in giving her “ experience” that she had just di-- carded her diamonds and other jewelry, since she thought it ungodly to wear them. She said she left all of her finery on her dresser when she left her house for church. Green left the church, broke into the Houston residence, and fonnd that she had told the truth. He took everything in sight, and left a note saying Le was glad he could remove temptation from the good woman. 3aron De Courcel, the French ambassa- dor at London, writing to a member of the French Institution, welcomes the efforts to establish a permanent court of arbitration but expresses the fear that the nations are not prepared to accept an authori y thus onstituted. He thinks that the more ra- tional course would be to form a epecial tribunal for each case, with due regard to the nature of the dispute, rather than proceed by fixed laws deficient in elasticity. The London Standard publishes a poem by Alfred Austin, poet lavreate, apropos to the death of Prince Henry of Batten- bery, entitled, “Who would not die for England ? ” A young man and a young woman of Southold, L. J., were married one evening last week, whereupon their neighbors de- cided to serenade them with a brass band. As the uewly-married couple refused to notice the music or the music-makers the latter forced the front door of the house and entered with their musical instru- ments. Now the bridegroom has sworn out warrants against the musicians on a charge of burglary. A New York man married two and when confrcented with the .wo to- gether declared he loved both. But this iender-heartedness has not saved him from trouble, for both have begun legal proceed- ings against him for bigamy. wives The London Chronicle says it learns from good authority that a partial settle- ment between Great Britain and Venezuela has been effected or is on the verge of be- ing efiected. It adds that it believes the settlement refers to the Yuruan affair, which consisted of the arrest of British officials by the Venezuelans, for which Great Britain demanded the payment of an ind+mnity. The latter has held that this affair is entirely separate from the boundary dispute. AjOT WHAT WE SAY, Dut IM What Hood's Sarsaparilla 8, that tells the story of its merit and suc- vess.

In the Hermnitaze Palace, at St. Pétersburg ‘there hangs a_ picture, either by Horace Vernet or by Davis, that represents the Empress Josephine seated with the Comtesse de Gcntaut- Biron in the salon of her chateaw in Navarre, with a young, travel-stained lad, arrayed in the picturesque uniform of an imperial page, in the act of kneel ing hefore her on one knee and present- ing to:-her aletter.: That than M. de Barthelemy Saint- Hilaire, who has just died at Paris at the age of one hundred and two. The missive Which he held in his hand was an autograph letter from his, master, the Great Napoleon, conveying to the divorced Empress the news of the birth of his son, the little “King of Rome, tidings that he held to justify his action towards her-since he regarded it as assuring the future of his dynasty. The young page performed the’ ride from the Tuilleries to Empress. Jose- phine’s chateau in the astonishing brief space of eight hours, thanks to*the.re- lays of horses which had organ: ized in anticipation of the event, and won much fame at the time in con- nection with this Turpin-like ride. - M, de Saint-Hilaire lived to see his own Emperor twice overthrown and the supreme rule over France held in turn by three kings, a republic and then by another Napoleon, whom he had known asa youthin the Tuilleries and often romped with in the dark corridors of that gloomy palace. Saint-Hilaire re- fused to hold any intercourse whatso- ever with his former playmate when the latter ascended the throne, horri- fied beyond expression by the sanguin- ary means which Napoleon III. had used to secure possession thereof, and all the Emperor’s many efforts to in- duce him to join his cause remained page was ne other been fruitless. When the third Napoleon had lost his throne at the battle of Sedan, just in the same way that his uncle had lost his at the battle of Leipsic and of Waterloo, Saint-Hilaire responded to the summons of his old friend, M. Thiers, and the latter became president of the third republic accepted the difficult oftice of Seer: tary-General of the Executive. He wasa very gay and cheery old man, who retained an astonishing amount of health and strength until the very last, being in the habit, until quite recently, of walking from his pretty villa at Passy to the Institute, a considerable distance for an able-bodied man, but something absolutely phenomenal person over a hundred years of age. when for a He died in the most painless and at the same time characteristic fashion that itis possible to conecive, for he was seated at the time bv his fireside after dinner with some friends, joining heartily in the laugh which one of his witticisms had provoked, when sud- denly, without a moment’s warning, he fell to the ground stone dead. thus severing one of the interesting and picturesque of links with the glor- ious past. most True Sympathy. here is more sympathy in the world than is generally supposed. Many who seem to be self-absorbed and un feeling are not so really. They are de ficient in imagination rather than in heart. ‘They cannot put themselves in another’s place and rejoice and’ wee with him. They are awkward in man- ner, too, perhaps, and easily express themselves ; but the stammer- ing utterance of their feelings may be more respectful to the sorrower than the glib platitudes of those who pro- more. Any touch hurts people suffering from some aftlictions, and the truly sympathetic realize this and keep silence. The sympathy of some people is anything but comforting, They enlarge tothe sufferer on the de- tails of his afiliction, and either exag- gerate or make too little of it. They prove conclusively that it was all his own fault, and they knew from the first what the result would be. To such Job’s comforters Job’s question is very suitable—‘'How long will ye vex my cannot fess so-called soul and break me in pieces with words?” Often the best sympathy comes from children. servants and others who are sorry for our trouble withoutin the least understanding it. *‘Are you very sad, sir?” said a house- maid to an old gentlemgn whom she met the other day on the stairs. She did not know what troubled him, but these simple words did him good. The touch of a friend’s hand anda sym- pathetic look may help the widow, though she feels that the extent of her loss is only known to Him who, though He was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which He suffered. Her First Bicyecie Lesson. A young woman describes her first bicycle lesson in a manner which will strike responsive chords in many hearts. ‘It came my turn,” she says, ‘‘and I tried to look unconcerned. A young man rolled out a wheel in front of me in a business-like way, turned a screw, lowered the seat, gave it a final shake to see that it was allright and then inotioned to me to mount. I have been ina hurricane when our steamer wag hove to off the coast of New Zealand, and all the woodwork was washed overboard ; I have been in a railway smash-up, and was handed out of the car through a hole in the roof; I have sat by the off window of a stage coach when a wheel slipped over the side of a precipice; I have been in many strange adventures, but never had I such an acute feeling of peril as when I sat on the top of that bicycle, hoiding on for life to the steering bar.”—Philadelphia Times, Commercial Travellers.

H. Sutherland, com- mercial traveller, of Truro, N.S.; “tried many remedies, and had doctors oper- ate. It was no use. Was completely laid up at times. Chase’s Ointment Was recommended to me by Mr. Brennan, of the Summerside, P.E.1., Journal. I tried it, and one box completely cured me.” Mr. Statia, the editor of the Streets- ville, Ont., Review, gives this unsolicited testimonial under date of Nov. 6, 1895: “Halt a box of Dr.Chase’s Oirtment eured my daughter of eczema.

The toy of the passing moment grows to be a thiug of utility by and by. There was a time, not a. thonsand ago, W hen good roads deemed a luxury. And, measured by their rarity, they well. deserved to be so-esteemed. But the -times change changed with them. poor years were and. awe are So longas the horse was ‘the popular motive ‘power employed in transporting people over country roads, the’ real ¢ondition of the public thoroughfares Was lot appreciated by thosé whose duty and privilege it was to keep them in a shape. It would almost stem that something like a mistake was. made in not giving horses.and other beasts .of burden the power of speech. True itis, that ther have, from «the. earliest. times, shown their. dislike towards bad<2xoads by balking, -kicking and thedike.. They have also. grown thin, prematurely old, and died long before their time, These sions~and protestations, how- ever, have net been weadly- effective. If horses could neigh in good, forceful English, right at the time and place it would.de ,the .most.good, splendid re- sults. might follow. . And | if,donkeys could bray their protestations against bad roads and cruel masters, it might be that. the more dense, two-legged donkeys would exercise: their reason and mercifully repair the highways. But there is more than om way to killa eat. And, no doubt, it was fore- ordained. there should be tore than one way devised to bring about road eprovement, The bieycle was called into existence and man came 1éarer putting himself in the place 6f the poor dumb horse. But mar is not adumb creature. He may be x dolt but he can talks he can howl. he can “kick.” He can express himself in crisp, terse Anglo-Saxon, and that *" Zor s” in this country, And so it has come.to pass that there is a movement on foot, or rather on a } icycle, to have better highwayve, And by and by the bicyole’s brother, the motocycle, will! be here and that will demand much «broadei and better roads than the bicycle does, The men in charge of the motocyck that started recently to make the jour- nev from New York to ‘chicago got discouraged by bad roads and gave uy the attempt at Schenectady. From there the motocycle was~shipped te Chicago by rail. But that fact doesn’t reflect so sadly on the motocycle as it character of tne highways. locomotives would not amount «% much if ways were not prepared for them to get from place to place. The invention of the sewing machine brought about a wonderful improve ment in the character and quality of thread. It would have been very foolish te throw the sewing machine away be- cause the thread was full of knots and kinks and weak places. good, presentable big on the Railroad does The successful operation of th wonderful self-harvesting machines was not achieved until the righ strength and quality of binding twine was discovered. The coming of the bicycle has caused the highways to be much improved. The motocyecle will be another factor in the work of making them better. Everyone should reach this con clusion early. It will prove the correct one. The band wagon will propelled by mechanical power. hearse may drag horse’s pace for quite a while yet.

The Turkish Empire is supposed te contain about 23,000,009 Mosieins, portion of Arabia in which counting th the authority of the Sultan is not very well established and is in danger of being destroyed atany time, There- fore, it is apparent that, unless great error has been made in estimating the number of Mohammedans in the Chinese empire, Sultan is only fourth among rulers of great bodies of men and women who believe in Mo- hammed. But, among other countries which are dominated by the Moslem element of their population, and are under the sway of a Mohammedan ruler, the Turkish empire is easily first, in num- bers and in powerier evil.—Cleveland Leader. tne 2+08+e ———— As Orp Axp Weit Trizp Remepy.
