From the Utica, N:Y., Press. The Rev. Wm. RF. Ferguson, Pres- byterian Minister at “'hitusboronvhose picture we give below, will not be un- familiar by Sight to many readers. A young man, he has still had an extended experience as foreign missionary. teach- i'i‘.edit0.r, lecturer and pastor that has given him a wide acquaintance in many parts of the country. In an interview a. few days ago, he said: "In the early summer of '94 I went upon a tour through a. part of Ontario on my wheel. My route was from Utica to. Cam Vincent, thence by steamer to. Kingston, and from there along theI north shore of the lake to Toronto and around .to Niagara Falls. I arrived at Cape Vincent at. 5 o’clock, having rid- gen against a strong head wind all ay. "After a dcl' 'htful sail through the Thousand lSllllll s, I step )cd on shore in that quaint old city 0 Kingston. A shower had fallen and the streets were dam . so that wisdom would have dicâ€" talci that l. lcg~wcary as l was. should have kept in doors. but so anxious was I to set“ the city that I spent the whole evening in the streets. "i’ive o'clock the. next morning brought. a very unwelcome discovery. I was lame in both ankles and knees. The head wind and the damp streets had proved an iiiiforlunzilc mmbinalion. I gave. however. little ilioiight to it. sup- iosing it would wear off in a few mum. and the first flash of sunlight saw me speeding out. the splendid road that leads toward Napancc. "Night overlook me :it a lilllo vil- lage near Port Hope. but found me still lame. I res-led the next day. and the next. but it “its too late: the mischief was done. I rode a good many miles during the rest of the season, but never I. day and seldom a mile without pain. "The winter cum? and I put away my wheel. saying 'nmv I shall gel well.‘ but to my dimppoinlinant I prewworsc.

From being local the tmuble began to spmod slightly and my anxiety inâ€" termixed. I Consulted two phvsicians and followed their esccllent advice, but. without result. So the winter passed. One day in March I happened to lake in my hand a iiews;isper in which a gumldcal of space was taken by an ar- ticle in relation to Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. I did not at that time know what they were supposed to cure. I should have paid no attention to the article hid I not caught the name of a lady whom I knew. Reading.

To all who apply, giving us the name \ authorities in the of the paper in which they saw this notice, will be given an ingenious puzzle, the solving of which may earn you $50.00. To test a wall coating, take a. small quantity of it, mix in equal quantity of boiling water, and ifit does not set when left in the dish over night, and finally form a stone-like cement without shrinking, it is a. kalsomine, and dependent upon glue to hold it to the wall, the feature so strongly objected to by sanitarians. ‘This matter of looking to the sanitary nature of wall coatings Seems to be con- sidered of much importance of late. A supplement to the Michigan State Board of Health, condemns wall paper and kalsomines for walls, and recommends Alabastine as beingsanitary, pure, porous, permanent, economical and beautiful. Alabastine is ready for use by mixing in cold water. Why He Declined.

"his wild ostentation may not improb- ahly prove in the nature of a funeral demonstration over the corpse of the Franco-Russian entente. Many signs point to the conclusion that the Bus- sians are already tired of the thing. Fewer of their princes and millionaires are spending the winter in France than £0 ryears before, and France is hardly mentioned nowadays in the Russian pa.- pers. Meanwhile Verestchagin's new collection of paintings, recently moved from Moscow to St. l’etersburg, is attracting” exceptional attention at the latter capital. Their principal feature is a dozen huge canvasses devoted to the Napoleonic invasion and retreat of 1812-13, and they lay almost malicious stress on the French brutality to the Russian peasants and prisoners. The French cowardice when bravely oppos- ed. and, above all. the French saorilege in dcsecrating the Russian churches and shrines. \thn it is remembered that the Russian official censorship is pecu- liarly sensitive and severe on the ques- tion of permitting picture exhibitions, it is not strange that the French are surprised to find this show being allowâ€" ed at this particuler time.

In Edinburgh three students Were sitting in a hoth dismissing the beau- ties of Highland scenery. when an Amâ€" erican from the state of Vermont broke in upon them with the remark, that for real scenery, one has to go to Am- erica, that when Christopher Colum- bus discovered America, he discovered the finest scenery in the world. One of the students asked the Yankee if he did not admit that Great Britain. con- sidering her urea. wielded a great in- flucnce in the. world. "Yes, but for real enterprise," replied the man from Vermont. "you have got to come 10 Am- vrici. The country discovered by Chris- topher Columbus. has become Ill-.3 most ciilrrpri~ing in the world." “At least Great Britain's navy stands ahead in the world." smiled the student.
