When Mr Ch aiberlain was eight years old he wi-nt to a darnels school at Carnberwell, and is sa.id to have oeen a fairly mischievous boy.

On asking the cause of the scrimmage the school-mistress was informed that the boys had formed tlif-mselvf-s into a Peace Society, and were lighting as to who should be is 1 president. The Dowager Duchess of Abercorn lias just become a grandmother for t.hf seven!. v-l,rst time by the birth of Lady Kelyn Cavendish's child, but there are actually twice as many of her descendants still living' This wonderful old lady is a peeress of the three kingdoms.

The death of Lord John Ilcrvey, brother of the Marquis of Bristol, recalls the adventure whiyh. in cona- j ' with Mr. Strutt, aiterwards Lord Helper, and Mr. H. O.

Mr. Uoiild al- ways writes with a ipviill pen. and his manuscript is not boloved by printers As a relaxation from lit- prnry work Mr. Gould, like the late Mr Gladstone, often spends a couple of hours chopping down trees. Mark Twain moved into a district recently where there were a good many burglaries, and consented to bo interviewed on the subject. As he talked to the interviewer he fondled u revolver lie said -"I think any decent burglar is entitled to Rome- thing for his pains. The burglar. like everyone else, must make a liv- ing; perhaps he has a family to sup- port." Then ho whistled, and three great dogs came bounding Into his study. "What a pity it would be" he said, thoughtfully, --jf the burg- lar's family should bo d<-i'rived of its nicuns of support " I'vidently the burglars thought the same at all events they left Murk Twain's house se\erely alone The din and monotony of the ac- clamations accorded to Kov.dty on tho occasion of public proces aie of course, fearfully trying to tho nerves In the course of their recent tour the then IHike and Duchess of York paid a visit to Tikitere. in ihe M.iori territory H 1!

It would be hard to imagine a Uore reckless and thrilling adven- ture than that of two men sliding down a sleep, ue-crusted uieamtain- Ridc. one in a prospectoi s pan and the other on a miner's shovel The feat was accomplished not loiitf ago hy two miners.

In the afternoon it turned cold and a crust formed on the snow, so that the mountain seemed to be encased with gloss. It was near sundown when the two men had finished prospecting and started to retrace their way down the mountain. The descent was steep, icy and dangerous at best They had gone down a hundred feet or more, when Murphy said: "Pete, I reckon it would be safer to slide down in the pun and shovel eh?" ' All right," said McGoff. "I will if you will." And without further hesitation oi' UI.L.II., ' .- a : !<,.. .. the pan. "I'm with you!" cried his compan- ion, and he squatted on his shovel, unmindful of the danger ahead. At first both men slid over the crust in a jerky fashion, for they were obliged to hitch themselves along with hands and feet. But sud- denly th descent became more abrupt, and the two miners almost shot into space, so (Treat was their speed They tore down the moun- tain side like an avalanche, each holding on to his metal sled with Mse-like grip. Down, down they flew, breathless, their eyes blinded with tears faster and faster Luckily there were no trees, and no precipices. The two miles were covered in less than two minutes They shot over Cow Creek, a forty-foot canon which they hud forgotten, and plunged out of sight into a snowbank like two human drills When they Were finally dug out by their friends the two miners did not require the services of an undertaker. but it is said that there was not en- ough court plaster and liniment in camp to cover their scratches and io,nhe their bruises Nevertheless trey were counted fortunate. and cc'inted the:nehes o. to have es- caped so lightly from so foolhardy an adventure. SERIOUS CASE OF THJ3 PAINFUL DISEASE IS RE- STOHED TO GOOD HEALTH. Satisfactory Improvement Leads to a Continued Treatment Which Results in a Complete Cure An Interesting Story Which Will No Doubt Profit Anyone Suffering With Lum- bago. Holyrood. Ont . Mar U4 (Special). - Mr Bat Pinrieil. of this place, has for the past two years been a great m with th.tt most painful and ~tnbborn disease Lumbago The pain he s'liTered was almost bc- \ond description nnd many wore th, .edii'ir.e* .mil trcatuirnts he used to try und jet some rel.ef. However. i.othmg he could find seemed to help him in the least, and he became very downhearted At last someone suggested Dodd-s Kidney Fills and Mr. Pinnrll. al- though very skeptical, thought he would make one more trial for a ure and began to use them The firs: box did not do him very much good, but after he had uset! ' r >art of the second he began to fial a change for the better, so he kept on until he had used in all seven tmxes. when he was delighted to nnd that every symptom of the Lumbagn had entirely disappeared His general health is much im- pro\ed and he feels better to-day than Jie has for years' To say that Mr. Pinnrll is pleased does not begin to exprfss it Only those who have suffered as he did with this very painful disease can understand the extreme satisfaction of one who has found a complete cure and restoration to health and strength Lumbago is a direct result of >' - ordered kidneys and should always I > treated as a Kidney disease. Rfforts to cure or even relieve by outward applications are invariably nnsiu-cessful Hubbing may in itself for the time being produce a little relief, but in order to secure a com- plete cure it is absolutely necessary to go right to the root of th trou- ble The Kidneys must be restored to their normal condition This is just what Podd's Kidney Pills do. and this done the Lumbago very soon leaves for without diseased Kidneys there can be no Lumbago.
