THERE was double service in a Meth
odist church at Nottingham, Manitoba,
ON . recent Sunday. A quarrel had di-
vided the congregation, and each party
claimed to be dominant. Each had called
. new minister, and the two clergymen
were on hand to begin their labors The
first to arrive took possession of the pal
pit, and the other sat behind the chancel
rail. The man in the pulpit gave out
hymn, the other man gave out another,
and both were sung confusedly by the
rival sections Of the assembly. Then the
man behind the railing started off on his
sermon, and the other started to read a
chapter of Scripture. When the reading
was over, and it was plain that the preach
ing was going 10 last much longer, the
partisans Of the reader sang another hymn
with loud organ accompaniment. The
musical noises drowned the voice of the
clergyman in the pulpit, but when it was
over he was found to be preaching right
along ss though nothing unusual had hap
pened. The clergyman in the chancel,
less cool, was unable to fix his thoughts on
discourse, and SO remained silent ane
beaten.

He left the spelling bee at ten o'clock
and stopped in saloon on his way home
Here he met several friends who " set 'em
up'' divers times, and he reached home
about midnight with confused brain and
a very demoralized pair of legs. Then he
swore that somebody had stolen the key
hole, but his wife, with a fearful scowl on
her brow and lamp in her hand, admit
ted him. Z" Drunk!s she exclaimed.
"D-r-u-n-c (hic) drunk. THAI easynuff."

Rearing Profitable Horses.

A writer in one of the reports of the
Agricultural Department states that speed
| in the horse has now become essential to
the comfort and convenience of the peo-
| pie, and it commands its money value &C
cordlngly. The wants as well as the hab-
| its and tastes of the community have
| changed materially since railroad trav-
| cling has become so universal. Men &C
custOmed to speed of from twenty to
thirty miles an hour in the cars cannot
| be expected to content themselves with
the old and common rate of five or six
miles an hour, and the majority of peo-
pie now want horse to go off easily and
without over urging at the rate of ten or
even twelve miles an hour, and the horses
that do it are not very common, whereas
formerly they were only the exceptions
70 the general rate of speed. Speed is,
to be sure, only one of the many qualities
which are essential to good roadster,
and size, style, action, temper, form, con-
stitution and enduring qualities are
equally important in making a general
estimate of the character of the horses of
this or of any other period. The aggre-
gate money value has been greatly en-
HANGED because the number of fast horses
has increased, and speed will command
its price. The art of training the horse
to the trot or 10 any other gait, and de-
vcloplng all his powers in it, is far better
understood now than twas forty or even
twenty years ago, and the increase in
speed has been to a great extent due to
this source Then it is well-ascertained
fact that the exercise and development
of any particular qualities or capacities
in animals not only enables them to ex-
eel in such characteristics, but when this
course is followed up those characters
tics become hereditary, or at least are
much more easily trained and developed
in their offspring. There is another
thing which has operated most power
fully on the general improvement of our
horses, especially in their speed, and
that is the high price which they have
commanded during the last few years.
The profit made in producing firstclass
animals has been great, and the stimulus
it has. afforded. to skill in breeding has
been of itself sufficient to- account for
naifcK fthe progress that has been INSIDE.

COME, AND LET Us REASON TOGETHER.
To the afflicted in body we offer few
words of plain, practical reasoning. No
matter under what form of sickness you
labor there is one great truth you should
ever keep in mind, viz: All disease origi-
mates in an impure condition of the blood.
Purify that, and the disease must depart,
for it has nothing to feed on; but you can
not purify the blood by the use of poison
Gus drugs and exhaustive stimulants; the
relief which these afford is temporary and
deceptive, leaving youworse off at every
interval. The best Blood Purifier ever
discovered is DIR. WALKERS FAMOUS VIM
EGAR BTTTERs, compounded of simple
herbs. No matter how hopeless your case
may seem, try the VINEGAR BrTTERs, and a
few draughts will convince you of their
virtue. DIR. Walker, the sdiscoverer of
this priceless remedy, had been given up to
die by the Physicians, and is now a sound
and healthy man from their use. SO

is certainly the most wonderful blood medi-
cine ever invented / thank God and you,
from the depths Of my heart, for the great
good it has done me.
Very gratefully,
Most medicines which are advertised as
blood purifiers and liver medicines contain
and iodine varfously combined. All Of these
agents have strong tendency to break down
the blood cOrpuscles and debihtate and 9TH
erwise permanently injure the human sys-
tenn, and should therefore be discarded. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, on the
other hand, being composed of the fluid ex-
tracts of native plants, barks and roots, will
in no case produce injury, its effects being
strengthening and curative only. sarsapa-
rilla, which used to enjoy quite reputation
as blood purifier, is a remedy Of thirty
years ago and may well give place, as 1t is
doing, to the more positive and valuable
vegetable Alternatives which later medical in
vestigation and discovery have brought to
light. In Scrofula, or Kings Evil, White
swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, swelled Neck,
Goitre, Scrofulous Infiammations, Indolent

A Train OF Evils.

If weakness of the stomach is allowed
to become chronic, the following evils SUI
pervene-Dgestion is permanently i'm
paired, the system is imperfectly nourish-
ed, the blood becomes thin and watery,
the bile being unemployed for digestive
and evacuative purposes, enters the circu-
lation through the thoracic duct, and
injects itself into the superficial vessels,
giving to the skin and whites of the eyes
the saffron tinge Indicative of biliousness.
Headache, nausea, constipation, pains in
the side, palpitations, heartburn, dizziness
and many other harrassing symptoms
which accompany the arrangement
above described, which if unchecked is as
sure to be followed by serious disease, as
the rising of the sun by its setting. 1t is
manifest, therefore, that an inability of
the stomach to act upon the food should
be overcome without delay. The invigor-
ating influence upon that organ of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is speedily felt in the
disappearance of all the dsagreeable
symptoms alluded to. The prescribed
mineral remedies for general debility
usually fail to achieve any lasting result
because they do not invigorate the stom-
ach Hostctter's Bitters always succeed
because that is their primal effect. The
very fact that they are such an excellent
stomachic constitutes them one of the
best general tonics in existence. To re-
store digestion is the final step toward the
recovery ofhealth, when impaired by any
of the multiarious complaints which
spring from dyspepsia, and that step viii
be found to have been taken by the inval-
id who has availed himself of this famous
anti dyspeptic remedy.
