Cape Breton Hospitality.

BY noon-time we happened to meet
two boys picking up shells; they said
the shells were for burning to get lime
for mending the chimney-corner. They
invited US home to dinner, but We went
on. Then came troop of men and
women from their hay field; none of
them spoke to us at first, but after we
had addressed them few words, the
father among them became more socia-
BILE, and he also asked US to dine. Still
another group gave us an invitation,
and at last we accepted it. Here was
our first evidence of Cape Breton hospi-
tally we had missed the previous even
ing; here people came seeking on the
highway who might devour. The men
sat down first, and the women served
US with bannocks and sour milk, pota-
toes and boiled salt mackercl, bread and
butter. Ii was one of the best meals of
our trip; for nine times out of ten we
were given only the stape articles of diet
bread, butter, and bitter tea. The
people spoke Gaelic to one another, and
we got no hint of their talk; but the
quiet and kindly spirit of the family
sufficed to put Us at ease. After dim
ner we dragged YEARLY onward. still
toward Smoky, until at shutdown we
gladly entered poor mans hut for the
night 1t was full of inhabitants, Of
which / can mention only the man and
wife with nine small children, three
dogs, hen, and Il pet pig. 1t was a
shadowy little place, with cayernous
stone chimney, picturesque with pots
and kettles hanging from Il crane. The
few dishes cleaned out of the dimness
of corner cupboard. and the table and
chairs were Enthusiastically homemade.
The woman had been in the hay field
all day, but she cheerfully cooked our
supper, and gave us the bed usually oc-
cupied by the children. The poor are
always friendly with nature; the little
pig regarded himself as one of the fami-
"; and whenever the woman went to
get some milk from the pan kept in the
bottom of the cupboard, there was a
race between her, the pig squealing, and
the hen with eager neck: the woman
generally reached the door first, and
then, with much scuffling, just managed
to fence the others out with her legs,
while they bobbed in and out under her
skirts. From this excitement the pig
would walk over to the hea It'll, and
such was the comfort he look in the
warmth of the irr ;IJt nc would doze
before he had TING ~ lie down, and
thus frequently fell asleep supported a
while on four legs and his nose. l
noted his habits, because the pig is
sometimes a member of the household
here in regard to bed and board. A
minister at wedding remained all
night, and was given a low cot bed in
the liying-room. In the night he was
startled at finding some one getting in
to his bed, and soon felt it to be the pig
nesting down against his back. He
tried u drive il out, but the outraged
animal would not 90. The noise of the
fight brought the householder, and he
explained that it was the habit of the
pig to come into bed with them on cold
nights, and assured the reverend gentle
man that it would do no harm.-C H.

Physicians Have Found out

That communicating and foreign element in
the blood, developed by indigestion,is the cause
of rheumatism. This settles upon the sensi-
tive sub-cutaneous covering of the muscles and
ligaments of the joints causing constant and
shifting pain, and aggregatirg as a calcareous,
chalky deposit which produces stiffness and
distortion of the joints. No fact. which exper-
fence has demonstrated in regard to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, has stronger evidence to sup
port than this, nam ely. that this medicine of
comprehensive uses checks the formidable and
atrocious disease nor is it less positively estao

used to arrest it, since the medicine contains

Santa Fe's proposed line from Kansas
City to Chicago. is that the road will
certainly be built, and that active
work will be commenced early in the
spring. 1t is claimed that the line
will be fifty miles shorter than either
of the other roads. which fact in ad-

short rest will be appreciated by our

are with them one and all, we earnest

bring gladness and prosperity to every

care supremely happy that the new year
