We give one tase owt of tho usands to prove the ttiith of this statement Mr. A. G. Lacombe, Sorel, Que, says: "For five years I was a vic. tim to the tortures of rheumatism.

Owing, however, to the gerrymander of North Ont- ario, It has been found impossible at this season of the year to get the proclamations ,posted up in each municlpality of the riding, as requir ed by law, so as to enable the elec tion to be held at the same time as those in the other constituencies The riding of North Ontario extends from the Town of Uxbridge, is within 20 miles of Lake for a distance of nearly 150 miles into the remotest northerly parts of the district of Muskoka, it being only a few miles wide, at places not more than four. - The constituency is actually longer than the distnnce from Toronto to London. By rea son of its great length as compared with its width, the riding has fof many years been known as "the fish lesriding." It is possible that r.

According to this report | the membership of Women's Insti- | tutes in 1goo was 1,602, with a total attendance of 3,500 women, while in 1gor the membership increased to 3,081, and the attendance of women to 16,410. Judging by brief | extracts given from reports of loca institutes, the meetings have arous interest and have done | much good in many ways. The main part of the report, however, is given to pointed papers, chiefly by women who speak from a practical acquaintance with the subjects in hand, Most of the papers are on ssme phase of household science, and they range from hints on good manners to directions regarding ventilation, cooking, and. other items of domestic economy Con- siderable space is also given to the 'women's flower and vegetable gar- den, every article and on these thetnes being contributed by women.

That is why you so often fail to get seated as far up front as you would like," Why Shakespeare Endures. What Interests us in Shakespeare's plays is not the plays themselves, but the (strictly irrelevant) truth and beau- ty that he poured Into them. We love their matchless insight into the human "Hamlet" is for us nothing but the study of a contemplative man dis- tracted by the necessity to be up and doing, "Macbeth" the study of a noble | mind degraded by ambition, "The Mer- | chant of Venice" the study of racial strength against contempt and persecu- tion. Nothing to us now the actual framework of these studies; everything the studies themselves and the lan- guage in whieh they are set forth, Our pleasure in the production of a Shake spearean play is according solely to the iNuminative rightness of the conception of the chief character or characters and to the sonorous beauty with which the verse is declaimed by all The Spanish Schoolteacher. The teacher of any land may be over- worked. He may suffer from the par- simonious policy of the powers and be underpaid even In our own enlightened country, but in few countries, certain- ly not In the United States, could such a story as the one which follows be truthfully told: In the streets of a Spanish city, says | the author of "The Land of the Dons," | a police officer stumbled on the corpse of a ragged and emaciated pauper. making out bis report he asked what he should enter as the dead man's pro- | fession. "What did he die of 7?" asked the mag- istrate. "Starvation," replied the policeman. "Put him down as a schoolmaster," replied the magistrate, Tonsillitis, An attack of tonsilitis can usually be warded of by paloting the inflamed tonsil with tincture of iodine. If you are unsuccessful in the attempt and the tonsils ulcerate, swab them at once with guajacum and repeat in five or six bours. This I learned from a well known throat specialist of 8t.

For a far different reason a certain Yorkshire gentleman of the last cen- tury had bis ceiling paneled with mir- rors. Ardently devoted to the sport of cockfighting, he continued to the last to enjoy his favorite pastime and even when on his deathbed his room was the scene of many an exciting fight, which, | IyIng on his back, he saw reflected in | the glass overhead. | a] A Tender Husband. | In connection with a slight affece tion of Mrs. Ulysses 8.

The specialist told her he thought he could improve her eyes, but the operation would be painful She consulted her husband to .learn whether he would advise the operation. "Don't have it done, dear," said the | general, pressing her cheeks with his | two hands. "Let those dear eyes stay | just as they are. If they were changed, I might not recognize my sweetheart." Distance Traveled by Odors. As an [{llustration of the distance | odors are carried it is noteworthy that the fumes and exhalations from the sulphur springs of Colorado can be dis- tinguished at a distance of fully twenty miles.
