r4» A Resident of Ottawa Flnils Relief In Pe-[u-na. MR. RENE ST. JEAN, 210 St. Patrick street, Ottawa, Ont., Can., writes: "I believed a year ago that I could stand anything. I worked hard, kept irregular hours, and did nt'l mind the loss of a few meals, but in six weeks I had changed to u physical wreck. "Eight bottles of Peruna brought lack my slrcnglb." Mr. A. 0. Harding, 303 W. 146 St., New York City, formerly one iif the leading druggists of Prescott, Ont., has been presented with a twenty-five year Medal of Honor in Odd Fellowship. He writes as fol- lows : "E\tr since I have beri handling Peruna, I have had a fuo tr.idc. Once R family buys a bottle, I am sure of selling them more, and it never fails to biing additional cus- tomers. "I have nothing better for ca- tarrh in all of its various forms. As a household remedy it is without compare, splendid for mothers and excellent for children." LEFT ON HIS HANDS. A little girl of seven or eight years stood one day before a clos- ed gate. A gentleman passed slow- ly. The littl« girl turned and said to him, "Will you please open this gate for me?" Tlio gentleman did so. Then he said kindly, "And why, my child, couldn't you open the gate your^ Bclff â-  "Because," said the little girl, "the paint's not dry yet. Look at your hands."

The" Council were informed that in some cases shopkeepers were makin from £16 to £l7 a week profit, and the fraud was most prevalent in the poorer districts. Butchers' boys in white overalls and aprons formed a guard of hon- or at the wedding of Miss Barker and Mr. Bashford, at Reigate, England. When the ceremony was over they strewed their aprons on the path for the newly-married cou- ple to walk over. A stalwart but- cher drove the carriage, and two others, with shin bones dangling from their sides, acted as footmen. An amusing instance of the use f trade labels is reported from a Crown Colony in West Africa. A Commissioner asked a dusky chief to produce his copy of a trading agreement, and was amused to find that the "honest" trader who had secured the trading concession from the chief had detached a label from a beer bottle of a well-known firm and affixed it to the agreement as a Government stamp. A singular revival is taking place in Paris foi; wearing the tooth of a wolf or badger set in gold as a mascot. An old superstition con- nected the wearing of such orna- ments as provocated of good for- tune. The custom of wearing a thumb ring is also being rBSUscitat- cd, and at this present time a cbarminp; young actress on the Eng- lish stage is demonstrating the vogue, partly, no doubt, because it i.s in kccpiuK with tko period in which Bho is living in the play, and partly in recognition of the fashion Paris is patronixiiig. Writers on arb('?ulture hfc.ve from time to time called attention li- the gradual disappearance of cedar trees in this country, and -c scorns that there is a dearth of ce- dar wood generally. This has set the chemist to work, and a Berlin firm is now making an oxecllent subfilituto for the cedar casings of blaeklcad pencils from potatoes. It is said that the potato ease sub- mits itself to the penknife as easily Rf does the cedar wood, and, what is more important, the cost is very much less.
