I THERE IS NOW A MASS OF PROOF THAT LUMBAGO IS ALWAYS CURED BY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS. •/' â-  Quebec Man Cured His Kidneys With Dodd's Kidney Pills, and His Lumbago Vanished. Quijhec, V. Q., Mny 22.â€" (Special)â€" John Hall, a bricklayer, resiiliiig ut 57 l.lttlo (Miamplain Street, this city, has added his stateiiient to the groat mass of proof that Lumba- go is caii.sed hy ilisordereil Kiilno.vs, and conKe(|iiontly eiisily ciireil by Dodil's Kidney I'ill.s. Mr. liall says: "X was troubled with Ijunibago for two years. I could not work. I had to get up at nights to urinate so often that my rest was broken. I read of cures by Dodil's Kidney Pills and made up my mind to try them. After the first ho.v I could see and feel a change. Three boxes cured me completely." Lumbago. like Uhoumatism, is caused by uric iiciil in the blood. Uric acid cannot slny in the blood if the Kiilncys are working right. Dodd's Kiilney Pills make the Kid- neys work right.

I'athers ut lionlers, ISelginni, an ex- traordinary tragedy occmrod. Kneeling to pray before the imago of .St. Cerurd, at a moment when the cha[,el was occupied by a large congrognlion, including many wo- men and children, Father llorrenmns, one of the iiio.st r.-speeted of the lie- deniptorist prii-sts. suddenly drew a ra/or from beneath his cossock and cut his throat. Uttering a chokinjj cry, he fell dead before the s'hrine. In the midst of the confusion cau.s- ed by the fraged.v, shouts of "I'^ire!" were raised and dense clouds of smoke spread th-ough the building. The con.^-regation, panic stricken, ni.sherl to the doors and smcceeded in escaping from the burning chapel. It was then discovered, sa.v.s the "Petit .Journal," that the lire ori- ginated in the dead priest's cell, where a mass of books and papers were in flames. With considerable dillicnlty tli.j lire was llnally e.xtingu- ished. There was no doubt that Father T!orrenians had deliberately startwl the fire before going in to tin? service in the chapel. The occurrence is believ<>d to have been due to a high fever from which the monk was suOring. Sunlight Soap will not injurt your blankets or harden them.

Don't be late to your work and then expect consideration becauso you arc a young lady. Don't expect to be treated as if you were in soc- iet.y. You are probably doing the work that was done f(U'merly b.v a man, and if in small ways you are not considered us much as .vou are at home, remember that you are in business. I'on't have your friends come in to see .you during business hours. Don't let your friends ring you up at the ollice, even in the lunch hour. Don't comidain con- stantly about your work. If your work is not congenial to you, nn\ki' up yoin- mind to get some other em- ployment, but don't whine. That never helped anyone. J AI'AXESE PATRIOTIS.-W.

Few people know the real" color of gold, because it is seldom seen ex- cept when heavily alloyed, which makes it much redder than when it is pure. The purest coin ever iiiailo were the lift.v-ilollar pieces uhich onco were in common use in Califor- nia. Their coinage was nband me.l for two reasons; first, because 1 he lo.ss by abrasion was so groat, and, second, because their interior could be bored out and tilled with li'ad. The dill'erence in weight was so small that it could not be not iceil in such largo pieces. They were octagonal in shape and were the most valu.iblo co'ns ever minted and cil•cul.^ted. .Ml gold is not alike when refined, .\ii.s- tralian gold is ilistinclly redder tlian that taken in California.
