| : : + £4,000. Russell, Ontario, Thursday, March 29] RUSSELL LEADER BEST ARMY oN EARTIL Britain's Soldiers in South Africa the Most x Magnificent Ever Seen. We have learnt one lesson in this war, it is that no nation onearth can drive us out of any position we have entrenched, remarks a war correspon- dent ox the London Daily News. The Russians even delude themselves with the {lattering thought that they can attempt an invasion of India. With the modern ri le and artillery -- the artillery we shall have a ter this war --I have every con. idence that passes into India could be held by com- paratively small numbers. No one ever saw such magni icent soldiers as ours are here. No conscript army could hope to equal them. Ten thou- sand of these men, under the conditions oi the latest warfare, would be more than enough to hold any Russian army that internal di ficulties would allow for the invasion of Afghanistan. Mod- ern weapons have made India sae. We never need again be scared either by the bogey of invasion or the possi- bility of its success. eee QUEER AUCTIONS. Where Prizes Are Offered to the Bidders. i The South African auction, which is «nn vogue at the Cape, is a far more exciting affair than its English imi- tation. Supposing a house is to be sold. The auctioneer rattles 50 sov- ereigns and cries out, "Fifty golden sovereigns for the man who first bids £5,000." Nobody bids it. After-a pause he cries, "Fifty golden sov- ereigns for the first man who bids : And so on, until hegetis a bid. It by no means follows that the property is sold to the bidder. For the auctioneer is again at it. Sup- pose £4,400 is the first bid. Then the auctioneer shouts, "There are 25 gol- den sovereigns for the first man who has the courage to bid £4,600." Possi- bly there is no bidder. Then £25 is offered for a bid of £4,550. If there is no bid eventually above the £4,400, the man who made that offer is sad- dled with the property. Otherwise he pockets the bonus and hag nothing more to do with the estate. A MAN KILLER Fierce and Ravenous, Is Diabetes, Which Defies all Medicines fixcept Dodd's Kiduey Pills, the Ouly Remedy on Earth That Removes the Cause of the Disease-- Dodd's Kid- ney Pills Never Fail. Quebec, P.O. March 26.--There are certain diseases that sap the brain and dry up the springs oi life, besides, undermining the strength. Diabetes is such a disease. Its symptoms are great thirst, fail- ing sight, dry mouth, coated tongue, paleness, numbness in the thighs, paing or aches in the loins, or small of the back; increase of urine, sugar in the urine. Any one, or two, seldom more, of these appear in the same case. Diabetes is caused by poison in the blood. Poison gets into the blood through lefective -action of the kidneys, which should filter it out. Heal and strengthen the kidney and 'hey will cleanse the blood. Then Diabetes will vanish. X Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only medicine on earth that can cure Dia- vetes. They are the only medicine 1hat can cure the kidneys. Here is proof: Mr. Sam Desrochers, of 167 St. John St., Quebec, says: "I have suffered with Diabetes for {ive years. "My feet were always cold. I had pains in my lions, and a terrible thirst. : "I tried a dozen remedies before I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They all failed to relieve me. "Five boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills tured me completely. Today I am well and strong.' Reader! Have you any of the symp- toms above? Ii you have, you have Diabetes, and nothing on earth but Dodd's Kidney Pills can cure you. --eeee--s offi WOMAN AND POLITICS.

TRAVEL BETWEEN CANADIAN POINTS AND NEW YORK. The L.h. gh Valley Railroad affords the most convenient train service, and is a particularly desirable route | for residents of the Province of On- tario to use in going to New (York.

The road-bed of the Lehigh Valley is ballasted with rock, a decided im~ provement over the old style cinder or other ballasting, and one which Summer passengers, when windows are open, appreciate, as the rock bal- last does away altogether with the too common nuisance of dust.

Several bees were caught as they re- turned to their hives laden with honey. and, after enclosing them in a little box, they were carefully weighed. When the bees unloaded (heir honey they were again caught, placed in the same box and weighed a second time. This experiment showed that the bees when laden weighed three times as Susk as when empty. It was there= fore proved that a bee can carry twice or i weight in honey, and can fly fery long distances with that weight. | ToL pda "Hts ney | A fe " £7 Hilt of not be Li Aiebbon, Boyton ek?
