Overwork Brought on Neuralgia and Shattered Health Generally Passed Many Sleepless Nigh ta From the Charlottetown Patriot.The Patroit’s special correspondent “Mac” being in the eastern section of the Bland on business, heard many complimentary remarks concerning Dr.Williams Pink Pills, which appear to be the favorite medicine in all parts of Canada.Among tbodc who are very emphatic in the praise of this medicine is Neil McPhee, J.P., of Glencorrondale, and our correspondent determined to call upon him to ascertain from his own lips his view of the matter.Mr.McPhee was Fund at home, and as he is a very intertaining and inteligent gentleman, our correspondent was soon “at home” too.Mr.McPhee said:— “About four years ago I g it run down from overwork on the farm.As there is considerable timber land on my property I thought I could go into making timber in addition to my farm work.The task however proved to heavy for my strength, and I soon began to break down.I contracted a severe cold, neuralgia followed, and I found myself in shattered health generally.I felt very much distressed and discouraged and spent many sleeple-sniglUs.I tried several very highly recommended medicines, but received no permanent benefit from any of them.As Dr.Williams Fink Fills were so highly recommended through the press, I thought I would give them a fair trial.After using a few boxes I found they were having the desired effect and I began to find my wonted health and strength gradually returning.I kept on using the pills until I had regained my former vigor and had gained considerable in flesh as well.Now I consider myself a healthier man and feel as well as ever I did in iny life.I can conscientiously reccommend Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills to any person suffering as I was.I have the utmost confidence in their curing properties.” Rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia,partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia.nervons headache, nervous prostration' and désossés depending upon humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic,erysipelas, ect., all disappear before the fair treatment with Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills.They give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions.8rid by a!! dealers and post paid at 50c a b >x or six boxes for £2.50 by addressing the Dr.Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.Do not be persuaded to take some supstitute.NOVEL ADVERTISING FOR'MON-SOON TEA.Some bright suggestions come among the many new ideas offered to the Monsoon Tea Company for advertising their Monsoon Indo-CeyIon te,*.The latest is the use of the horseless carriage or auto-motor, with carriag* body des gued to represent the original Monsoon Tea package as sold in the stores, but enlarged about aMiundred times.And thisncvel vehicle is to serve as the Monsoon Tea delivery carriage.The trouble with these new advertising suggtstinns is that they fail in the most imp .rt ant object sought.They all lack the earmst assertion necessary to convince people of the fact that Monsoon excels all other packaged teas in purity, flavor and substance which is proven so perfectly in the firtt sip of Monsoon Tea.maud's UalaMBt Oana Saadnft ONLY COPY AVAILABLE carters ITTLE IVER PILLS SICK HEADACHE Positively cured by tiies^ Uttle Pills.They also relieve Di>tres3 from Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Too Hearty Eating.A per-fcet remedy for Dizziness, Nausea, Drowsiness, Bad Ta-te in the Mouth, Coated Tongue Pain in the Side, TORPID LIVER.They Regulate the Bowels.Purely Vegetable.Small Pill.Small Dose.Smad Price.^•bstitution the framl of the day.See you get Carters, Aslv for Cartel s, insist and demand Carter s Little Liver Pills.PROMPTLY SECURED Write for our interoHtinjr books “ In vent- or’s Help’’ and “How you are swindled.Send us a rough skotch or modvl of your Invention or improvement and we will tell you free our opinion as to whether it is probably patentable.We niake a specialty of applications rejected in other hands.Highest references furnished.MARION A MARION PATENT SOLICITORS A EXPERTS Civil -turs— Tha frenzied cry, “Man overboard!” The beetling seas boie hard behind, Their suinniits capped with glistosi F foam, And screaming furies in the wind Forbade the ship in “stays” to coma, And.I lobbing tl% re within 'he deep, The rushing waters in hr*' « »»s.The man essayad lo climb to* steep, The vast and yielding hemispheres.And there he swam alone with death.Beneath, the water sobbing slips.How fiercely draw n his quick mug braatb Between his bloodless lips!

died from accident and all other causes.24,782, or 11 per 1,000; total, 859,628, or 165 per 1,000 for the three years’ term.Thus the average death rate per year among those enlisted works out roughly at 62 per 1.000.—Hospital.i n r *3 r* r If you are young you nat-tirsüy appear so.If you are old, why appear so?Keep young inwardly;

splendid representation of work manufactured in this district.Gale & Sons are known through the length and breadth of Canada as leaders in the manufacture of beds, and that shown by the firm in the main building attracts much attention by the chaste designs and workmanship.THE MINER CARRIAGE COMPANY of Granby, Que., have a very nice «election of* carriages, buggies and sleighs f orward.They are of the latest design and are a make that are noted for their easy riding qualities, lightness in draught and especially for their durability.The name “Miner” is now well known in the Province, as the makers of tir.-t class machines.They also manufacture the pneumatic bu.'gy, which is on exhibition for the first time, and when shown around the track it was greatly admired.Mr.NV.N.Irwin of this city is the agent for these celebrated buggies.A COMPLIMENT TO THE DIRECTORS.Mr.Hunt, Eastern agent of the Massey Harris Co , in conversation with the Examiner stated that the new machinery hall was a very nice building, aad speaking on behalf of his company he expressed himself as very highly gratified with the treatment of the directors who did everything in their power to please the exhibitors.They were perfectly satisfied with the pace allotted to them, but his firm would have shown more goods had they had a little more space.THE PROTESTANT HOSPITAL COUNTER.The lunch counter in charge of the ladies who take an active interest in the welfare of this institution, has been well patronized.The ladies take day about in supplying the wants of visitors, and their efforts are much appreciated.On Wednesday the drawings amounted to about $100 and yesterday they exceeded that sum.W H.WIGGETT, Manufacturer of mrated water and bottler of Dow’s Ale has a large and fine display in the Main Building.The stock is nicely laid out, and is a very prominent exhibit.NOTES.The merchants and others of our city who have dec rated during the fair week deserve a word of thanks.The city of an evening presented a very animated appearance.The passing and repassing of visitors on the principal streets at times made it almost impos ible to get along.The fact that the chief places of business were illuminated created a very favorable impression on the stranger, and wtien they arrive home they talk of our city, and by so doing aevertise it in the best possible way.The Magog House and T.J.Tuck’s store lit up that end of Commercial St, while Wellington St, from Wilson & Sons store down to fie Albion Hotel the street was lighted with a brilliancy of ever changing hue, that created a most pleasing effect.Thj Model Farm, in the Machinery Hall was the centre of much attraction.The long “schooners’’ were much in evidence yesterday at the soft drink booths.The young gentleman in the Main Building who was disposing of a patent potato peeler, had about lost his voice last evening in explaining to the lady visitors how the instrument was manipulated.The large crowds have been very well behaved, and the police have have had very little trouble in handling the crowds, only one or two arrests were made, and they were safer in the cells than at the mercy of loafers.No serious complaint has been lodged, and although one or two cases of missing purses it is supposed that they were dropped, and not stolen.Chief Davidson has a large detachment on the ground in case of any emergency.The evening performances were well attended and should be an encouragement for the management to repeat something similar next year.The wet on Wednesday had the effect of keeping (juite a number away as the impression seemed to have got abroad that here would be no performance.Last night, however, the grand stand was well tilled.In addition to the speciality performance a grand display of fireworks was given, which was without doubt one of thefinest displays ever seen in this part of the country.The destruction of the “Maine” was well worth going a long distance to see, and the display of rockets, Roman candles, Ac., was witnessed from all parts of the city.PRIZE LIST.HORSES.THOROUGHBRED.Stallion 3 years old and upwards—1 M.Swift, 2 F.S.Wetherall STANDARD AND

adjourned until the 20th of Sept.Four young lads were drowned by the upsetting of a yacht at Erie, Pa., on Fri day last.One evening I noticed by Monasia’s photograph, which always stood covered with a whkfe crape veil on a small table, three red cheeked apples.These plebeian fruits seemed out of place in the aristocratic Parisian drawing room, crowded with rare knickknacks and works of art.Monssia’s mother, observing my questioning glance, said, point ing to a picture at the end of the room, “These fruits were picked on the apple tree which you see in this picture, the last one painted by MouBsia.” Then the sorrowing woman told me the story of the apple tree so intimately connected with that of the young artist, Marie I’ashkirtseff, who died when only 24 years old.In the spring of 188— Moussia was pluming to paint a peasant woman in the open country for the salon of the following year.She spent days looking in the outskirts of Paris for a suitable landscape in which to place her model.One morning she found near Sevres a field inclosed by fence palings, beyond which a walk overgrown with grass lost itself under willows, through whose young shoots the sun shone brightly.Half way up the walk, on a background ot grayish green bushes, with an outline almost as soft as that of smoke, stood a robust apple tree, broadly spreading ita flowery branches.The whole scene was filled with tender, fresh, stirring harmony, with spring itself.Moussia was moved.She felt that this was the looked for spot.Opening tbe gat©, she walked toward the house, which was separated from the orchard by a garden filled with beehives.The proprietor happened to be one of those half bourgeois, half peasant horticulturists who provide the Parisian markets with flowers and fruits.The request made by the enthusiastic looking young girl with the expressive blue eyes flattered him.Ho loved his trees, and the admiration of a painter for them pleased him extremely.Moussia was readily given permission to work in the iuclosure, and she began the very next day.Early in the morning she arrived on the tramway, with her model, who carried their lunch in a basket.Mous sia understood her art.She was no longer a beginner, for some of her pictures had alreadv been much talked of at the salon.Though belonging to a rich family, which occupied a high position among the aristocracy of her country, she worked not as an amateur, but as an artist anxious to win fame.Her work showed the melancholy fire and poetry which belong to those born in Little Russia.The sketch of her painting absorbed her entirely.She was trying to put on the canvas some of the effervescent spring about her.She painted rapidly, as if afraid not to be able to finish the task she had undertaken.Every morning she came back, in spite of the April showers and the rawness of the air, which often made her cough.Tbe owners of the place admired bar pluck, and as they sew her painting, bareheaded, standing in the dvw, with a blouse over her gray dress, they believed her to belong to their station in life and thought she was working for her daily bread.The housewife brought her warm milk, the children played near her while she rested, and the horticulturist, learning that some young trees interfered with the perspective, had not hesitated to out them down.It was touching to see this man, usually to careful of his possessions, willingly sacrifice them to gratify the wirii of the young artist.By degrees a touching intimacy begun between them.At noon Moussia was often invited to share the cabbage soup and bacon.The picture was growing.The peasant seated at the foot of the apple tree looked most lifelike.Only a few finishing touches were needed.Gathered around the easel, the family agreed that the apple tree was beautiful, for it seemed as if by stretching out one’s band tbe pretty, fresh, pink and white blossoms could be plucked.One evening Moussia carried her picture away to show it to some friends, promising to return with it in order to finish certain details in the landscape.They waited for her in vain.One by one the blossoms on the tree were carried away by the breeze.At the end of a fortnight a package arrived containing a dress pattern of handsome black silk.A letter accompanied the present.Moussia told her friends that « severe cold kept her Indoors, and she begged the housewife to accept the dress In remembrsuo© of the kind hospitality the bad reeelved.Thia was indeed a disappointment for these good people.What they had done for the artist had been done for friendship's sake The gift of the silk, which must at least have cost 90 francs a yard, pained them.The present seemed entirely out of proportion with the service rendered.Their pride was hurl They decided to return the silk.In a catalogue of the salon they found Moussia’s address, and one day on their way to the Halles they stopped In the Avenue de Vllliers, where the artist lived.When they arrived in front ©f the house, |hey thought they must have made a mistake in the number.Was it possible that their young friend lived in this beautiful mansion?Then she was not a poor artist.They rang ; a liveried servant opened the door.After taking their names he ushered them into a sumptuous drawing room.Moussia was lying dh a oouch wrapped in a loose white plush gown.She was much thinner, very pale.Her large eyes shone with a phosphorescent brilliancy.Recognizing her friends, she uttered a joyful exclamation, and raising herself with difficulty she gave them her emaciated hand.“I am so happy to see you, *’ she said, coughing almost at every word.“You must not feel hurt because I did not come to thank you.I am not allowed to go out.It seems that I worked too hard on my last picture.I took cold standing in the grass.I am now hero for some time.” The horticulturist and his wife looked at her in bewilderment.An expression of deep pity came over their faces.The gardener no longer knew what to do with the package containing the silk.He felt that he could not return it.“We don’t mind it as you were sick, ” answered the wife, “but still we were sorry that you sent us this silk.W’hat we did for you we did willingly.We did not want a present for letting you work on our place.My husband and I , decided to bring the dress back.” “Oh, you were the one who wished to bring it hack,” interrupted the husband.“You are both foolish about the matter,” exclaimed Moussia, laughing as she used to.“You would pain me deeply by refusing my present.I wish you to wear this dress, ” she added, speaking to the gardener’s wife, “in remembrance of me when I am no longer in this world.” Then they both assured her that as she was so young she would soon regain her strength ag».d overcome the disease.“No,” answered Moussia, “I cannot get well.Tho candle is burning at both ends.I shall not Jive long.You know that children who are too clever never livelong.” She tried to laugh, buta mist covered her blue eyes.“And the apple tree?” she asked, abruptly changing tho subject.“Is it alwaya beautiful?” “Oh, no, indeed,” they answered, “the blossoms are all gone ; but the fruit is beginning to show.Apples v ill be plentiful.You must come out and eat some in September.The good air of Sevres will restore you to health, mademoiselle.” She shook her head and let it fall baok on the cushions, tired and exhausted by having spoken so much.When the horticulturist and his wife departed, Moussia closed her eyes and thought of the apple trea.It was In good health.The sap was running from its roots to Its branches.It spread its foliage in the sun, laughing at rain and wind, at oold nights and hot noons, while she, imprisoned in a room, attended by the wisest Paris doctors, was slowly dying.Oh, misery of homan life! Bhe was young, beautiful, rich, beloved, unusually gifted.She had so much to tell the woild, her head was so full of pictures.Toward the end of October the gardener and his wife received a letter with a wide black border telling them of Moussia’s death, and these good people wept for the lovely girl who during one month had been the life and brightness of their modest country dwelling.In the mad whirl of large cities a human life ended makes little more impression than the falling of a dead leaf.After a few days of painful astonishment tbe gay Parisian world which had so admired and feted Moussia returned to its business and its plesunres.Alone three women in mourning continued to weep In the home of the Avenue d© Villi arc.One April afternoon they were quietly sitting in tbs drawing room, filled with souvenirs of the departed, when the gardener and his wife earn# into ths room.They ware dressed for ths occasion.The husband wore his Sunday coat, the wife had her shawl on, under which she concealed a large package.“Excuse us, ladies,” said the gardener, “I am afraid we are disturbing you, but ws could not let this time of ths year go by without letting you know that we ofteu speak of the dear young lady.My wife and I thought we would like to bring you sometbiug in remembrance of her.’’ The woman raising her ahawl brought forth an armful of flowery branches.“These are,” he contin-ned, “the blossoms of the apple tree she painted.They will tell you tetter than wo can how we felt toward Mile.Moussia, aud if you will allow it we will bring yon every year some blossoms from tho tree as long as it bears.” What kindness there is in simple hearts! It is truly worth more than all the eloquence of the poets and all tbe gold of the earth.The gardener and his wife have kept their word, and thus it is that Moussia’s picture is almost al ways adorned with pink blossoms or ripe apples—faithful and simple offering from the old apple tree to the dead young girl.—From tho French of Andre Theuriet For Short stories.DOGS AND A MAD DOG.Dp.C.J.Edgar

dogs pobhesh ucrtaiu alliibutesof s^nsc which are locking in the hum in Ih»-Ing is generally recognized by scientific men.A curious case which *vf»unvd in Hrooklyu last summer exemplifie* this trait in a very clear manner, showing how canine instinct warns of dung* r where human intelligence is at fault.It was a very hot evening, the thermometer having fluctuated in the nineties all day.A pug dog, which had been lying on a doorstep arose and began to wa©k to and fro on the sidewalk, whining in a peculiar tone.Presently it laydown, stretched out and pilled over; then got to its feet and re-Mitued its gentrylike inarch more slowly than before.Its owner came out of his ?lore and spoke to it, but it paid no atten-t on to him.From time to time the pug would stretch out, groaning, only to get up again and pace to and fro.Several •rsons in the crowd which gathered said bat it was going to have u fit, and this lu pression gained ground when it lifted up its voice in a plaintive howl with a strange catch at the end of the note.Attracted by the gathering of people, an • Ulcrly mftn, leading a magnificent St.Bernard in Inash, approached to soe what as going on.As lie reivched the front of ( e circle the pug gave its broken howl gain.Instantly tho great til.Bernard rang back.The hair on Its neck bristled iid it showed evsry evidence of terror.•i vain did the man try to calm the aidai.With paws extended and braced and u» ring deep growls of protest it struggled 1 i retreat.• ! hat s a strong»» thing,” said the owner.‘i never saw Prince act that way l>e-iorc Como back here, hoy.” Lut 1 ^ inco gave so sudden and fierce a livin that tho leash was freed from the ! .!.r s grasp and the big fellow lied up { • • r vt at the top of his speed.A few minute-, later a small cur trotted around the corner os the pug was lying stretched a id panting and proceeded to investigate.0:c\i the new arrival walked around the •ni'.IVrer, then approached with the evident iu'en.ion of touching noses, an intention which was never carried out, for the pug ju t then lilted its head and sounded that strange note.With a howl of abject terror thi) cur turned and ran.At tho same moment a setter which had been nosing around in tho gutter diagonally opposite bounded in tho air at tho sound of the pug’s howl and set off at a swift lopo iu the opposite direction.That part of Brooklyn is populous with dogs, and many passed that way, every one without exception that heard the voies of tho sufferer turning tail with all evidences of the liveliest alarm.One large Newfoundland bolted straight through the crowd, knocking down a woman and a boy in its desperate haste to get away.For a moment the cry of ‘‘Mod dog!” was heard, but it referred to the fugitive and not to tho pug, w^ich was now whimpering under tho caresses of its master.Even at the severest of its suffering it was quits gentle and did not even exhibit such paroxysms as a dog in a fit shows.As its owner was debating with a friend the advisability of taking the pug indoors two men.one of whom had a bulldog in leash, stopped to look at the sufferer.The man wiih the bulldog, who was obviously a sport, handed tho leash to his companion and bent over tho pug.‘Let’s have a glim at him,” said he.“I know a thing or two about these animals.” • ‘ 1 was afraid at first that it was a core of going mat!,” said the owner, “but I guess it’s only a fit.” “That’s all,” said the sport, feeling in tho pug’s mouth and examining its eyes.• * Folks always think that it’s hydrophobia if a (least cuts up a little when it’s warm weather.Stand up here and let’s soe your paces.” Lifting tho pug, he set it on its feet gently.For a few stops it staggered uncertainly forward, thon, giving a howl, sank down again.There was an answering howl from the bulldog, and it strained at its collar until its eyes started from its head from the pressure on its throat.At the sound of his dog’s terror the sport’s face changed and ho jumped away.•‘Como hero, Nero,” ho commanded his dog, catching at tho leash and dragging hard, but tho animal snarled so savagely that he gave over the attempt to force it and simply held it where it stood.Still it tugged with all its power, trembling through all its powerful body.“See hero,” said the sport, turning to the owner of the pug.“You can’t kill that dog too quick.If ever a dog was mad, that’s a case right there.” “You told ma it was a fit a minuta ago, ” protested tho other.I don’t believ© it’s mad.” “Don’t you?” cried the sport.“Well, I didn’t either, but my dog does, and you can bet your last cent on a dog’s judgment in any case like that.This bull of mine was never afraid of anything before in his life, and now look at him, so scared he’s shaking like a leaf.He knows he’s in danger of his life, that’s what he knows, and if every doctor in the country told me that dog of yours didn’t have hydrophobia I’d back Nero for knowing better.” “A dozen other dogs have acted the same way as soon as they hoard that howl,” put in a man who had been there from the first.“I’d look like a fool killing my dog just because other dogs are afraid of him,” said tho owner.Meantime the bulldog had been taken across tho street, where it howled dismally.A policeman appeared and entered into tho discussion, taking tho side of the pug's owner, who declared his willingness to sacrifice his animal if there was any reasonable ground for belief that the trouble was really rabies.Presently another dug appeared, wandered around unconcernedly until it heard the pug’s howl and then ran away shrieking shrilly, a circumstance which went far toward bringing the policeman around to the sport's opinion.He got out his revolver, and none too soon, for without warning the pug sprang into the air and began whirling around, uttering short, choking snarls and snapping at the air furiously.That settled it.and two shots from the revolver ended the dog's sufferings, while the bystanders fled in all directions.After the pug was dead Nero’s owner tried to persuade tho bulldog to approach the body, but mot with such determined resistance that he gave it up.The crowd went away, debating the mystery of that unanimous and instantaneous canine diagnosis to which they had boon witnesses, which perhaps bad saved some of them i a terrible death.—New York Sun.G.C.B*W*NT
