and cracker, and sometimes even this would make him sick, and he got very weak; could not sit up all day, and I gave up all hope of his ever getting any better.Looking over one of your books I noticed Dr.Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery recommended for indigestion.We bought some and gave to our boy.Two bottles of Dr.Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery cured him.He is well as can tie, and can eat anything that he wants and it does not hurt him.He has not been sick a day since, and k has been tlwee years since he took your medicine.I pray that God wrill always bless you and your medicine.” FOR DISEASES OF THE STOMACH BLOOD.NERVES AND LUNGS BRITISH STEADILY ADVANCING.London.May 17.2.18 p.m.The War Office has received from Lord Robert the following despatch, dated Kroonstad, Wednesday,May 16: “Riindle yesterday occupied Me-quatling's Nek and Modder Poert withont opposition.“Hunter lias entered the Transvaal, and has advanced to within ten miles of Christiana.“ cthnen has reached a point twelve miles on the Hoopstad road without seeing the enemy.“Natives and local whites have confirmed the previous reports of the disorganization of the Free Staters.” “The situation here is unchanged.” 3.33 p.m.The War Office has received t hcct(Hl as it is out of promrtion to the forces engaged.Tne news that the half-famished garrison was not only able to repel an attack, but to inflict such heavy loss in killed and prisoners as reported in the despatch from Capetown announcing the capture of Commandant ElofT, the grandson of President Kruger, and ninety of his men.makesCreat Britain more than ever proud of Col Raden-PoweH’s little baud and increases to a fever pilch the national desire for their relief.Lord Roberts and his large army at Kroonstad and General Bullers thousands forging over the Big-garsberg range arc» almost entirely forgotten.Everyone is thinking or talking of r* afeking and the* latest exploits of it»« defenders.Rumours continued that tla* relief of t In* place has been accomplished but all official confirmation of the reports was lacking up till one* o’clock t his a fte rnoon.The*rc was e^onsiderablejspe'culat ion as tee what Col.Baden-Powell would do with his ninety prisoners and wliethe*r the victory has so depleted his force* as to render him open to annihilât ion in the* event of another attack by the* superior Boe»r numbers.Rut Lorenzo Marquez, already hears rumours that these have been cut off by the relieving column.According to general opinion, news of the termination or tin* dos|M*rate struggle between the besierts is still gathering his forces

telegram received Wednesday night at Ix>renz.e» from Molopo, 100 miles north of Mafeking.This intelligence* is accepted hen* with some reserve, because it is difficult te> understand Imw the* news could have be*e*n so (piickly put on the wire from a place 132 miles from the scene* of the engagement.A e*orre*s)H»nde*nt of the* J/ornmf/ Post, presumably Jedin Stuart is ie*pe)i te*el captured by the* Boers at K rani pa n.The* British publie* is keenly e*x-nectant of the* announc'cment that Mafeking has l>ee*n relieved.In the* army the* opinion se*e*ms to prevail that this has alreaefy be*e*n ac-ce>mplishe*d, although two hours after midnight, t he* War Office said that ne) news of the relief has be*e*n reeeiveel.The* steadfast courage of the* hunge*r-bitten garrison has pre>-duced a eleep impression and the news of succor is awaiteei with more anxiety than has Ijeen felt regarding any other event of the wa r.IVrsons aeeiuainted with Colonel Baden-Pe>w ell’s scheme of defence at Mafeking assert that the occupation of the* Kaffir location by the Boers wemhl not enelatiger the gar-son, provided relief came quickly.HOLDS BACK BIG NEWS.Douglass Story, the* Daily Mail's

the Bishop visited seyeral settlements in succes-sion where the mountaineers had never even heard of the Kpiscopal Church.At last, however, he came ( to a village where he was told there lived an “KnLscopal,” and the Bishop,rejoiced in heart, proceeded to hunt him up.He introduced himself and disclosed the object of his visit.“Oh yes,” said the mountaineer “Episcopal is my religion.” “Baptized?" ventured the Bishop.The man was not sure.“Confirmed !” He had never heard of it.Other questions revealed an astonishing ignorance of the Church usages and doctrines.“Well," said the Bishop at last, “why do you call yourself an Epis- copal in \ /‘Well, now, stranger.I'll tell ye, said he.“Some five or six years ago I was summoned down to Louisville as a witness in one of tho >e ‘moonshine* cases, you know.“Well, we was kep’ over Sunday, and after breaklast, as I knowod nobody thar and nobody knowed me, l tuk a walk down the street, from my lodgin’s, and directly I saw everybody gain* into a great big fine church, and sez I to myself.I’ll go too.So I went in and sat down, and in a little while the boll it stopped a-jingling ; there was some kind of nig music rolled around, and then it stopped, too, and a feller in a long white gown he got up in the other end of the room from me and said something or other 1 couldn’t hear, ami then every man, woman and child in that room got down on their knees and sez they: ‘Oh, Lord, we’ve dun the things we ortn’t to ha’ dun, and we ain’t dun the things we orter ha’ done’, and sez I myself, that’s me.I’m one of them very kind of fellers, and when we all cum out I asked atfeller what kind of a church that thar was, and sed lie, ‘It’s an Episcopal,* and so, stranger.I’ve called myself an Episcopal ever since."

so that a nucleus of two or three combs is better than one.Prepolis is the gum or varnish that bees collect for varnishing over the inside of their hives, filling cracks and crevices, cementing loose pieces of tlie hive together and for making things fast and close generally.It collects in time in rid hives and combs.PEN, PENCIL AND BRUSH.Now that John Ruskin is dead a “Rus-kin union” has been formed in London for the purpose of studying his works.Emperor William has commissioned William Pape, the artist, to paint the scene of Archbishop Simar rendering homage.The name of Samuel Smiles has been so long forgotten by the reading public that many will probably be surprised to learn that the author of “Self Help” is still alive.He lives in London.Winston Spencer Churchill, the British war correspondent now in the Transvaal, has published his first novel.It bean* the title “Savrola” and depicts the political intrigue ami revolution in the imaginary republic of Lauranin.The clay model for the bust of the late Joseph Medill of Chicago lias been badly damaged in some way in the studio of the sculptor, Richard II.Park of Chicago, and he will have to reproduce it from memory.THE CYNIC.Nearly every “No Credit” sign Is a lie.Sentiment harms more people than it helps.Men who bav«* lia«l remarkable experiences are usually reuui'kahle liars.Nine people ou* of ton who inquire sympathetically “Can I «lo anything?do not mean it.When n man «Le* anything noteworthy.Ii«* neailv always i a!.o* himself disagreeable in looking for rredit There is som** w«mi«1it that Spring is pictured with her arm-* full of flower* instead of carrying empty corn and to^ mato cans.Let any man get far riiough away from tho seem* of hi* crime, and be will behove down in his hoart that he is innocent.—Atchison Glolie.Vigor and Vitality are possible only when all the organs, Hiver, stomach bowel*, kidneys,) work In hermouy—di^eitiug and assimilating food and eliminating waste.Nothing Is ¦o good to regulate these organe, purify the blood and tone the system, as Onr Native Herbs.Nature s greatest curative agents and tonics In tablet form.Purely vegetable, as harmless as It Is efficacious.A registered guaranies goes with each box of Our Native Insuring the return ofitspriee In case no benellt should be derived from Its use.Onr Native Herbs is also sold In powder form.Box, either tablets or i>owder, •1—two hundred day's treatment.Hold by druggists or mailed on receipt of price.THE A.0.BLISS CO., 232 St.Paul St.Montreal Can.Wljat About Awnings ?Give your orders early and we will get them made up for you.Sewing Machines.The RAYMOND.Every one guaranteed.Terms and prices to suit alL Handvde Harness and Harnesses Repaired.BUGGIES AND FARM IMPLEMENTS The largest assortment in the Townships.Our stock is complete* W.N.IRWIN & CO Hell Tel 1^6.I'oopie TeJ.11.134 WELLINGTON STREET, SHERBROOKE, QUE.THREE CITIES.There are 90.000 tree* in the city of Paris, including 15.000 willows, L.000 chestnuts and 20.000 plane tree**.The city of Akron.O.i* entitled to the credit for installing tb** first automobile p 'lice patrol.It is of the largest -dze.having a seating capacity r winter.Dm* tom perature is seldom above 78 at^ any s«»a son.and that is about equal to 08 in York.May and June seem to be In* coldest months in tli*1 v.«*• Lysp’psia, Eight Years Nine lx>ttltv* of Irfixii-Livor PilL rtired me of Dyspeieno ond Fttins in theStonineh niter I hwl *ufiVivints.That's what th° mother demands, and that's why she conies to us for Boy* Clothing.gr%«)„r line for this spring is correct in point of style, fit and originality, and our low nrioes.'are the attractions which wo expect will win your patronage.See our line when ready to buy your Boy s Spring Suit.$3.50 low 85 SEUMnu You are i-afe in buying here at any prue !
