Makes the
Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people In run
down or weakened state Of health derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak
strong" 1t does not act like stimulant,
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hoods Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.

ren DON'T Wan, to Die.

How strong is the love for life" 1t
was well-known physician who ut
tered this exclamation. II can't al
ways understand it, he went on.
Here's one of my patients, who is now
living at the point of death in one of
the hospitals. He was run over by a
railway train a day or two ago and
was brought in unconscious, his head
STAYED in, four ribs broken and both
legs crushed to a jelly, And yet he is
frantic at the thought of the near end
of his miserable existence. He has no
family dependent upon him and seems
to have no ties of any character to bind
him to life II he recovers he will be
"a helpless, useless cripple, dependent
upon charity, and as he is an unlettered
laborer he can have none of the pleas
ures of the Imagination and the intel
lect. What has he to live for? And
vet his desire to live is pitifully strong. )"

SWEARING CLUBS.
A Good Way to Break Up a Very Bad
Practice.

Swearing clubsl" The name sounds
oadly but the thing is good-very
good. Whether there be any of these
institutions in London we know not; a
few scattered here and there would
certainly be a great gain to public de-
eorum- For We learn from certain
proceedings which took place at
hnutsford the other day, that the
object OF a swearing club is to wean
people from the evil habit of using
profane language. And this is how
the system is worked: Once a week.
or perhaps even more often, the mem
bers meet at some public house and
proceed to discuss things in general
while waiting for supper, which comes
later on. Any ''brotherr-so they
address one anothcr-who lets slip a
naughty word during this palaver has
to pay small fine and as the amount
thus levied goes toward paying for the
supper, all present have an interest in
bringing delinqucnts to Justice. The
effect Is said to be most salutary, even
the incorrigibles gradually reforming
their vocabularies and substituting in
nocuous terms for their accustomed
forms of emphasis or inyective. Nor
does this reformation stop at the club
room; the new habit soon becomes as
indurated rs the old one had been, and
it IS said to be quite rare fora brother
to break loose from deeorum in the
streets. II this be the case. the sooner
VIC have swearing clubs all over the
country the better. 1t would be a
most refreshing experience TO be able
TO go anywhere without hearing either
profane or disgusting expressions. In
most cases these forcible adjectives
and eNpletiyes are used in u perfectly
meaningless way, providing that they
arc mere products of custom.

A GOOD WITNESS.
The BOY Had Only One Idea of Punish
ment for All Sins


A good story is told by Montague
Williams concerning an argument that
took place rs TO whether or not a cer-
tain boy Of very tender years was old
enough TO be sworn as II witness. At
the suggestion OF one OF the counsel
engaged in the ease he was interro-
gated by the Judge. when the follow
ing colloquy took place:
Now. my little man said the
Judge do you know what will be-
come OF you IL you tell an uutrtIth?"
Hell flre,' said the boy without
moving.

continued his lordship 'if you play
truant and do not 90 10 school?-
Hell fire, ~ said the boy"
What II you stay out late when
your mother sends you on an errand?n
Hell fire. :"
What If you spill milk"
Hell fire.
His lordship ran through a long list
OF faults. some OF them of very slight
description: but the penalty was always
the same-'.Hell fire"
AT the end OF this examination the
learned counsel said:
My lord, hardly think this little
boy sufficiently intelligent or instructed
for his evidence TO be admissible
"Indeedr' exclaimed the Judge.
We'll. now. entirely differ from
you. He seems a very good little boy,
and if he grows up in his present belief
and thinks the direst punishment will
be visited upon him for every fault he
may commit, he will probably make a
much better man than you or /. y
