A Beautiful Girl's Affliction.
From tho Republican, Versailles, Ind.
Tho Tuckers, of Versailles, Iiid., like nil
fond parents, are completely wrapped up in
their children. Their daughter Lucy, in
articular, has given them much concern,
no is fifteen, and from a strong, healthy
girl, three years ago, had become weak nnd
kept falling oil in llesh until she became a
inero skeleton. She seemed to have no life
nt all. Her blood became impure and finally
she becaino tho victim of nervous prostra
tjon. Doctors did not help her. Most of the
time she was confined to bed, was very nerv
ous and irritable, and seemed on tho verge
of St. Vitus' dance.
"One morning," said Mrs. Tucker, "the
doctor told us to give her Dr. Williams' Pink
x'nis ior jraio 1'copie, which no Drought with
him. He said lie was treating a similar case
with these pills and they were curing tho pa
tient. Wo began giving the pills and tho
next day could see a change for the hotter.
Tho doctor came and was surprised to see
such nn improvement. 11& told us to keep
giving her the medicine. We gave her one
pill after each meal until eight boxes had
been used when she was well. She has not
been sick since, and we have no fear of the
old trouble returning. Wo think thecuro
almost miraculous."

Just before a recent dinner given in honor
of some magnate, a young swell, whose chief
claim to distinction seemed to be the height
of his collar and an eyeglass, addressing a
stranger", said:
"Beastly nuisance, isn't it? Spoke to that
fellah over there took him for a gentleman
and found he had a ribbon on his coat;
some blooming head waiter, I suppose?"
"Oil, no," replied the other; "that's Blank,
the guest of the evening."
"Dash it all, now, is it?" said the aston
ished swell. "Look here, old fellow, as you
know everybody, would you mind sitting
next me at dinner and telling me who every
one is?"
"Should like to very much," replied the
other man, "but you see I cannot. I'm the
blooming head waiter!" San Francisco

Probably in the history of tho continent
there never was such a lido of prosperity
enjoyed by any country ns tho Dominion of
Canada is being favored with. That portion
of Canada known as Western Canada is at
tracting thousands of people who nrc seeking
homes on the arable lands of that new
but rapidly developing country. Possessed
of exceptionally good railroad privileges,
the best school system in tho world, church
es in every small settlement, while in the
towns and cities(nll denominations nrc rep
resented, and with markets in close prox
imity to the grain fields, most of the re
quirements for a comfortable existence are
met. Tho development thnt is now taking
place in the mining districts gives nn im
pulse to agriculture and good price, with
good crops, being nbout a state of affairs that
the crowded districts of moro populous
centers are tiikiinr advantage of. Tim Akko.

TAronto, Feb. L (Special) Loan com
panies that made advances on Mnnltohn
property years ngo report that the returns
from the west during tho past three months
linve exceeded expectations. One company
has tnken from Manitoba over $20,000 inter
est, and discharged mortgages innnv of which
had been written off a year ago. Directors
of tho leading loan companies are taking a
greater interest in the business of their in
stitutions, nnd are inquiring into many
properties on which advances have been
made.
The climate in the Western provinces of
Manitoba, Albcrtn, Assiniboin and Saskat
chewan is excellent, there being no healthier
anywhere. The Canadian government is
now oiicnng special inducements for tho en
couragement of settlers, and they have
their agents nt work throughout the United
States for the purpose of giving information
nnd distributing litcrnturc. Among those
going to Canada are many ex-Canadians,
who have failed to make as good a living as
they expected in the United States.

Just before the rising of the law courts n

and n queen's counsel engaged in it thus
described for the instruction of the judge
the ancient and royal game: "1 believe, my
lord, that the game of golf is played in ir
regular fields or waste grounds witli n small

stick. If he succeeds in hitting the ball ho
spends the remainder of tho day in looking
