THE WORLDS CHOICE
A Centennial Decision.

Competent judges representing the civil
lied people of the world, appointed for the

various inventions OF mankind. awarded to
the manufacturers Of Benson's Capcine Po-

nary porous and other kinds of plasters, the
highest and only medal, above all foreign
and American competitors. on the ground OF
It's great superiority over other plasters, and
its wonderful pain relieving, strengthening.
and curative properties Remember that
this decision was made by four practical and
skilled physicians.
Remember that no nostrum was allowed
TO be exhibited at the Centennial. Remem-
Der when you are suffering from any ache or

best remedy ever devised for all external
difficulties. Benson's Capcine Porous PIas-
ter was invented to overcome the slow action
OF the ordinary porous plasters, the only OBJ
lection ever found 70 this otherwise popular
remedy. The secret of this articles great
success lies in the fact-tney relieve pain at
once, and cure quickly diseases which other
plasters and liniments vii. not relieve.

Tell them to port two points said
the lad quietly
The old man placed the trumpet to his
| lips. and through the brazen tube hi:
voice poured steady and strong:
The boy says; Tell EN- to port two
pints.7
The vessel suddenly swayed 10 port
and as she lept away the lad said:
Tell them to hold her steady as she
is"
Again the old man lifted the trumpet
and called:
The boy says: Tell them to hold her
steady as she is
For a minute not word was spoken
The steamer tore on through the gloom
lighting her path with the flames. The
roof of the pilot house dropped in, and
the smoke and cinders hid the two men
from the sight Of those who. with pray
ers ON their lips and with agonized faces,
were gazing at them from behind.
Suddenly out of the smoke and FIRE
came the tones of the trumpet;
The lad says: Tell EN- hear the
surf on the beach,"
Then the smoke suddenly lifted, split
by gust that tore through the air, and
those behind saw three men instead of
two standing on the deck. The trapper
and the lad still at their station, and
thirty feet farther aft Herbert, hose in
hand, flooding with water the blazing
deck on which they stood. But what
could the power Of man do against the
rush OF such flames? The young man
did his best. With hands blistered by the
awful heat he stood heroically at his post;
but the garments of the lad we're ON fire
and the hair of the trapper was burnt to
the scalp.
Suddenly the starboard half of the up
per deck fell with crash As it fell
those behind saw the lad turn to the trap
per-saw him totter-saw him steady
himself,-saw his companion catch him
BY the arm-saw the old hero with the
sleeve of his coat, that was itself smoking,
wipe the cinders from his lips as he lift
ed the trumpet to his mouth; and out of
the black eddying smoke as it swept over
the three and hid them from sight, BEL
lowed the words, strong as trumpet could
send them:
"The lad says: Tell them l see the surf
on the beach, Hold her steady as she is,'
God"
The sentence was never completed
The flat bottom Of the vessel touched the
sand-slid along it-and was driven by
momentum of her movement half her
length on the beach. Then she rolled
over with a great lurch; her smoke stack
went down with a crash, carrying the up
per deck ON which they stood with them
and the three men sank from sight in the
smoke and fire.-N,TTuy's Ne1c Book.

DIR. Cheyne and DR.. Winter i'm Bath.
Fifty Years Ago.

AT the time DR.. CheyEe aid DIR
Winter were the two principle physic
isns at Bath, they adopted very oppos
ite modes of practice; but the foImel
gave some cIedence tn his prescription
OF milk diet by making it the principa
article of his own sustenance. On thi,
occasion Winter wrote him the follow
ing staDzas:
TEL me from whom, fat-headed Scot
Thou didst thy system learn.
From HipoOcrates thou hast il not.
Nor CELSIUS, or Pitcairn.
Suppose that We own that milk i good
And say the same of grass
The one for babes and calves i food,
The other for an ass.
Doctor, one new prescription try
"a friends adyice forSive,)
Fat grass, reduce thyself, and die,
Thy patients then may live"
DR.. Cheyne's answer.
Ny system. Doctor, is all my own,
No teacher pretend.
My blunders hurt myself alone,
Butyours your dearest friend.
Were you to milk and straw confined,
Thrice happy Nigh, you be;
Perhaps you might regain your mind
And from your wit get free.
/ can't your kind prescription try,
But heartily forgive:
'Tis natural you should bid me die
That you yourself may live"

LETTER FROM QUEBEC.

One charming morning during our
stay in Quebec we made the excursion
to Montmorenci Falls, seven miles from
town. From Durham Terrace We had
already seen line of cottages leading in
zig-zag direction across the plain, and
were told it was the way TO the Falls.
This one long street of miles is called
the village Of Bouport. The houses
which are built closely together are set
at an angle with the street. for better
protection from the severe winter winds.
The most exposed end never has more
than one window in it, and often none
at all. The French windows are gener
ally lined with gay colored paper, that is
the inner ones, for double ones are ne
cessary for comfort in winter. The day
we drove through the outer windows
were thrown up and the seats were fill
ed, many of them, with beautiful bloom
ing plants. Carnations in particular
seemed to flourish in profusion, ard |
never saw such fine ones any where
else. II was saturday and all BEAUFORT
was putting itself in order for Sunday,
Every where girls in short skirts we're
scrubbing floors, front steps and even
the walks which led down to the tiny
yards. Through the open doors We had
many glimpses of Canadian interiors,
and we soon learned by observation that
the hugh three or four storied stove is a
fixture in each household for summer as
well as winter. Sometimes 1t is set in
the middle of the house, and the parti-
iion walls are built up to it, so that part
of it is in each of the four rooms into
which the cottage is divided. Besides
the stove there queer old wooden chairs
and dressers with stores of family "cera-
mics" and often a wooden cradle which
looked as if it might be an heir loom.
Our party consisted of five, and we were
somewhat dismayed when our carter"
appeared with his three seated carriage
and only one horse, but we were assured
that Tom" was capable of taking US all
with perfect ease. Tom" more than
kept up the reputation his master had
given him, and we bowled along over the
smooth road at a good pace. About a
quarter Of a mile from the fall We left
the carriage and walked over a well
kept foot path to the brink of the cas-
cade, which is one of the most beautiful
/ have ever seen. 1t is small, but very
high, although itfs impossible TO realize
this until one goes down the flight Of
steps, and looks up from beneath. We
stayed some time time gazing on Its
beauty, but felt unsatisfed when at last
we were obliged to go and leave the IA
cination of falling water. Some little dis
lance from here are some natural steps,
several hundred, which are about as
wonderful as the water fall On our way
back to town we passed through the
suburbs of St Rock, which is much more
modern than anything in Quebec 1t
has just been rebuilt, as it was entirely
burned two years ago. with the excep-
ton of the Church and Convent of the
Good Shepherd which were saved, mi
raculously, as the devout Catholic driver
thought. TRAVELLER

THE STEAMER ON FIRE.
How Its Lives We're Saved by 1.-THE Man
Who Didn't Know Much.''

The Captain stood another instant in
profound thought, during which his
quick and fearless mind had considered
all the contingencies, and, without a
word to the three men that were with
him, ne started for the deck and the
pilot-house. He summoned his chief
engineer and his officers around him.
and stated what he had discovered-laid
the whole subject in few ierse words
before them, and said:
Gentlemen, in five minutes the sa-
looms will be like an oven, and the win
dows of this pilot house will be cracking
Have you anything to suggest
The first offieera sailor from boyhood
whose head and beard were already
gray, said promptly:
Captain, we must beach her. The
others looked their assent.
'Its our only course" said the Cap
tain. pilot" said he, turning to the
man whose eyes were on the look out
'can you beach herr" The other delib-
Grated a moment, and said:
Captain, am ready to take any re-
sponsibility that man in my position
should take. lam ready to execute any
order you give; but will not take the
responsibility of running this steamer
with 600 passengers aboard, on toa coast
that l know nothing of beyond the
knowledge have of the lights, the reef
and the harbors 1t would be mere
chance if got her within halfa mile oi
the shore"
The Captain actually groaned. He saw
and admitted the force of the pilots as
,sertion. For moment not word wa:
spoken, while the ship went tearing on
through the water, and the premonition:
of rising tumult came to their ears from
below, showing that the passengers were
already on the move. He looked an in
slant into each face before him, lifted
his hand and wiped the great drops o.
sweat from his forehead, and said:
Gentlemen, what shall We do? | fee
the floor under my feet heating, The
passengers are moving out of the saloon
What we 90 must be done quickly. We
are overloaded, Our boats wouldn't &C
comodate half, and besides a boa
couldn't live in that sea. What shall We
do?"
Not man spoke. They felt as if the
horrors of death we're shutting dowr
around them. They showed no evidence
of fear. They could meet death as mer
should meet it, but they could not tel
how to escape it. Suddenly the Captains
face lighted with light that was the
reflection of hope, Of a conjecture, O
possibility. He darted out ofthe pilot
house, swung himself down among the
crew, who were busy with the pump:
and the hose, and shouted, with a con
centration of voice that penetrated the
roar of the storm like knife:
is there man here who knows thi:
coast?7
When the Captain dropped among
them the men stopped their work and
stock staring at him. Only the old trap
