COAL CONSDHPTION. â€"â€"' A REGULAR GRIPPLE- (amber of'roiu Consumed on the Ball The Story of an Old settler in way: of the World. Art .‘ndustrious trifler. writing in a. French review, has been at the pains to ascertain what is the annual con- sumption of coal on the railways and steam companies of the country, and be has worked out a total of 3,782,850 tons. This, he tells us, would make a pyramid 516 feet high and 894 feet at the basis, or nearly 70 feet above the Dufferin County. iSnlfei-ed Teri-Iny with Rheumatism. and Bad to tse flrchnnical Appliances to Turn in Bedâ€"Friends Thought he Could Not Recover.

A BIG CIRCULATION. A statistician has learned that the annual aggregate circulation of the pa- pers of the world is calculated to be 12,- 000.000,000 copies. To grasp any idea of this magnitude we may state that it would cover no fewer than 10,450 square miles of surface, and it is printed on 781,250 tons of aper, and, further, that if the number 2,000,000,000 represented, instead of copies, seconds, it u ould take over 833 years for them to elapse. In lieu of this arrangement we might press and pile them vertically upward to gradually reach our highest moun- tains. To ping all these and even the highest A ps, the pile would reach the magnificent altitude of 490, or, in round numbers, 500 miles. Calculating that the average man spends five minutes (this is a very low estimate), we find that the people of the world altogether annually occupy time equivalent to 100,000 years reading his paper in the day reading the papers. HO‘W THEY WILL PROVE IT. The way explorers will prove that they have reached the North Pole is explained by one of them. "I will take a bullet and suspend it. from a. string. This bullet will cast a. shadow. In our latitude the bullet would, in a day's V At the North Pole the shadow would make a per- fect circle. I will photograph the cir- cle throughout the day. Of course, it time, describe. an ellipse will be necessary to bring back only an arc, or practically impossible to get. a picture of the perfect circle. Any part; of_ it. however. would be enough to convmce a scientist that I have reached the North Pole.” __.__._-.â€"â€"â€"â€"-’ CHEER UP Cheer up. ye toilcrs of the earth, And pray, peruse my rhyme; The millionaire can only eat One dinner at; a time!

I suf- fered as only those racked with rheu- matic pains could suffer, and owmg to my advanced age, my neighbors did not think it possible for me to recover. I_ had read much concerning Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, and at last determin- ed to give them a. trial. I commenced taking the pills about the 151. of Feb., 1895, taking at the outset one after each meal. \Vithin a couple of weeks I could notice an improvement, and b the first of April I was able to be aiout as usual, tree from the pains, and with but very little of the stiff- ness left. I continued the treatment a. short time longer and found myself fully restored. It is now nearly a. year since 1 discontinued taking the Pink Pills, and I have not had any return of the trouble in that time. I have no hesitation in saying that I owe my recovery to Dr. \Villiams' Pink Pills." These pills are a. perfect blood build- er and nerve restorer, curing such dis- eases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' Dance, nervous headache, all nervous troubles. palpitation of the heart, the after effects of la. grippe. diseases de- pending on humor's of the blood, such as scrofula, chronic crysipelas, etc. Pink Pills give a. healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions and are a spect- fic for troubles peculiar to the female system, and in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from. metnal worry. overwork, or ex- cesses. Dr. \Villiams' Pink Pills may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. \Villiams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.. or Schenectady, N.Y., at 50c. a box. or six for $2.50. See that the company's registered trade mark is on the wrapper of every box offered you, and positively refuse all imitaâ€" tions or substitutes alleged to be “just as good.” Remember no other remedy has been discovered that can success- do the work of Dr. \Villiams' Pink i .

Why Kidney Disease Cannot be Cured by Powders. Tablets or Pills. One of America’s most eminent spec- ialists. who has for years studied pro- foundly the construction :is well as the disease of the kidneys, gives it as his belief that. pills. powders and tablets are almost worthless in the. treatment of kidney diseases. Bright's disease, di- abetes, gravel. and alums! all disorders of the kidneys are caused by the presâ€" aencc of oxalate of lime and uric acid, both of which are solids. In order to dissolve thesq solids so that they may be eliminated from the system a liqu- id medicine must be usod. South Am- erican Kidney Cure is the most perfect solvent known. and for this reason it generally relieves in six hours, and never fails to cure. CAN'T ABBREVIATE IT. A great problem is soon to occupy the minds of the people of the world. In four years the sweep of time will carry us into a new century, and the figures which indicated the century of 1800 will be. exchanged for 1900. \\ him this time comes can we abbreviate the year in writing and printing, as we do now in 1896? If we may abbreviate. how shall it be done? How will this look. '00! Or this, 19'? “'hen you. write at the top of your letter. August 10th. ’96, it looks all right; but August 10, '00. will not be at all satistactory. Did you ever before think what an inconvenient time 1900 is ing to be?
