At the close of 1890 handsomely IL
Illustrated and neatly printed set of
pamphlets was issued, fully describing
the country from the Eastern portion of
Manitoba to the Pacific Ocean. These
have been carefully compiled by com
petent men, from the most reliable
sources, and besides containing a vast
amount of useful information put in
most readable shape, they contain a
great number of letters from actual res
idents in the country, telling plainly
what has been done. Furnished with
maps and nicely illustrated they are
well worth securing as books of refer
ence.
Copies of one, or all of them, viii be
mailed free of charge to any address, if
application is made to L. A. Hamil-
ton, Winnipeg, Manitoba; or to J.
f. Lee, 232 South Clark St., Chicago,
ILL.,; or to C. S. Sheehy, IL Fort St. West,
Detroit, Michigan.

taken in the fertile provinces of West

anxious to know more about the lands.

Suggestions For Those who Are Not
Familiar with Business Affairs.
The other day a lady sent some
money in bank-bills in letter to
friend. She might have registered the
letter for ten cents, or she might have
got a postal order for the amount, or
check, but she did none of these things.
The letter did not come to hand, and
both parties were in worry for some
days. Ten dollars is not large
amount, but ten cents spent in insuring
its safe delivery would have saved wor-
~ and waiting. and having ''searchers"
sent out by the postmaster, and sus-
picion on innocent parties If any one
is foolish enough to send bill in I'M
registered letters, they should be per-
fectly new. Old bills are detected in let
tiers by the peculiar odor they have OBJ
sorbed while passing from hand to hand
and being carried in pockets. Nothing is
more dirty or malodorous than old
bank-bills.
When deed is given or a mortgage
made, it should be at once recorded A
young girl, year or two ago, lent all
the patrimony she had, and received a
note for it secured by a mortgage. The
mortgager told her there was no hurry
in recording the mortgage, and she be-
lieved him. In some mysterious way
her mortgage paper was lost, and she
has no means of enforcing the collec-
ton of her note, and may lose her little
all. The recording of the mortgage
promptly would have saved an expen-
sive litigation and great deal of wor-
~.
Contracts should be reduced to writ
ing. A mere understanding as to what
certain payments for services rendered
are to be, otter results in loss to the en-
ploye. If the understanding is reduced
to writing, unpleasant complications
NAV be avoided.-C Christian Advocate.

uric acid is not changed as it should be
into soluble urea. that this form of
waste material shall be carried off by
the kidneys, and so it accumulates, and
often is deposited around the joints and
sets up rheumatism. If the rheuma-
tism or neuralgia is caused from imper-
feet digestive action the best method of
cure is to treat the liver and stomach
by proper diet, plenty of exercise and
deep breathing in the open air,
when the disease will often disap
pear of itself When sciatica is due to
inflammation of the nerve, the best
plan to pursue is rest in bed, which will
relieve the pressure upon the blood
vessels and nerves. Hot lamentations
or other applications of heat viii also
serve not only to relieve the pain, but
will stimulate absorption of the deposit
in the sheathe of the nerve which has
caused the inflarnmatory action. The
diet should be light and nutritious,
fruits, grains and milk being the best
foods. Meat should be rejected as too
stimulating, and liable also to further
clog the liver.-J. III. Kellogg, NJ. ID.

me, until my eye caught sight of an
article headed 'Jenks' Dream" Imag-
inc my surprise 20 find it ended up with
q recommendation to use DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
a great sufferer from sick headache,
determined to try them, and, to my great
Joy, found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size of dose.
As a pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cathartic.
Cause no gripping or sickness. Best
