 MT. Lawler was hardly able to attend to business and despaired of ever finding relief. He had lost flesh and appetite, strength, and ever desire for life Dr. Kennedy prescribed Favorite Remedy, told him to follow closely the printed directions and to write him as to his con- dition in a few weeks
 Mir. Lawler had little idea or hope that the treatment he was about to follow would start him anew upon life of health and happiness.
 To state from Mir. Lawlers letter to Dr. Kennedy, few weeks after.
 II followed closely the directions, and had taken only part of bottle when two pieces of stone passed from my bladder. Continuing the remedy, grew stronger and better daily, and I think that am now entirely cured. I weigh 176 lbs, costveneSs and rheumatism have entirely where have recommended Favorite Remedy it has not in a single instance failed to effect speedy cure.
 The case is a remarkable one and will add still further to the reputation Dr.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has acquired,
 Many regular physicians are prescribe ing it. Persons suffering with these diseases, or those run down either from overwork, or the changing seasons, sleep lessness, or nervous prostration and women suffering from the ills peculiar to their sex, should obtain this medicine at once. Relief is certain to be the result.

The meeting was opened with service of song, led by J. s. Wooster of the Park street church. Mrs Eli Smith made few remarks presenting the cause of the Junior Endeavorers. There are now about 600 children belonging to these so- cieties. Mrs Smith strongly urged that in churches where there were no junior societies they should at once be formed.

 POINTERS FROM THE WEEKLY RECORD.
 Horse railroad deals are now the order of the day. The latest report is that the East End and the old line have joined hands. Mr Hotchkiss has thus gotten rid of some uncomfortable opposition in the next Legislature. There are some advantages in street railroad monopoly when good men are at the head. It should result in single fare carrying a passenger from one part of the city to any other part.
 The recent severe snowstorm seems to have dampened the enthusiasm of intend- ing builders. At least, the architects are not receiving many new orders. It is only temporary setback, however.

AS TO THE CONSOLATION.

s. B. Sherwood was chosen delegate to represent the church at the special meeting of the consociation in Bridge port on Tuesday. It was formally re- solved on Sunday ''that this church earn- estly protest against the dissolution of the consociation and is opposed to the form ing of conference" The real question is-''is consociation Congregational?' ?' It not, the name of the churches should be changed from Congregational Pres byterian to Presbyterian; if it is, then the word Presbyterian should be struck out. AS it is at present, we are cross between Congregationalism and Pres byterianism. The churches need, in the writer's opinion, more liberty but wheth- CT a conference would secure this better than the present arrangement, is doubt ful. It is to settle this that the churches have been called to this special meeting.

Away back in the forties it was my good
fortune 10 accompany picnic managed
by Uncle Sam to Mexico This picnic"
is recorded in history as the Mexican
War" Our jolly excursionists left Vera
Cruz one morning for visit to the Capital
city, arriving that afternoon at the river
Don Juan, where we camped for the night.
After shaking the burning thirst that had
possessed me for hours lay down be meath
"a tree in the grove that skirted the river,
with my knapsack for a pillow was
scarcely settled for a good rest, when
parrot, with labored fight, crossed the
stream and alighted on limb above me-
Ii instantly occurred to me that the bird
would be an acceptable addition to the bill
of fare for supper To think was to act,
and ere the bird had time fairly to scan the
intruder of his haunts he came to the
ground minus his head | soon had him
plucked anu could but admire his plump
form, and my mouth watered at the
thought of quail on toast, as it were, for
the menu regularly served consisted prin-
cipally of bean soup, wormy side bacon
and moldy bareback Now, whether it
was because | am more selfish than the
average man, or the demoralizing influence
of surroundings was to blame, let others
judge; but candidly confess that instead
of taking my prize to the camp fire, where
the company cook was making coffee, where
perhaps ! would be asked to share the bird
with others, | sneaked off to a thick covert
to banquet alone. | found plenty of dry
twigs and limbs handy, and with whit
things, bit of cotton from the lining of
my cap, powder from a cartridge and the
tiintlock of my musket soon had good
fire, and, splitting the bird with the ramrod,
| did him to a turn, and remembered it as
a rare tid-bit.- Forest and Stream.

An oddity pointed out to the interested
visitor at the government gardens is the
so called ''cruel plant" which belongs to
the fly trap" order. This vegetable Nero
kills just for the pleasure of being muir
derer The leaves of the cruel plant exude
an Intoxicating honey, which regularly at
tracts flies, bees, butterflies and other busy
little flutterers The slightest touch of
these little creatures causes the leaf to
close in the real fly trap fashion, squeezing
the intruder out of all semblance of an i'm
sect. As soon as death stops the struggles
of the insect and the irritation ceases the
leaf slowly opens, drops the mangled re-
mains to the floor and automatically sets
itself for another victim. Louis Re

Strength of Limpets.

Some interesting experiments have late
ly been made in England for the purpose
of discovering the amount of force exerted
by the limpet in holding to rock. The
limpets We're not chosen specimens, but
just taken at random, and this is how the
experiments We're conducted: The shell
was bored and delicate spring balance
was attached to the creature as it lay on
the rock. BY means of this the strain was
gradually increased until the limpet came
away.
Twenty experiments gave the following
average RESULTS The average shell was
1.07 square inches, and the pressure sup
ported was 22.5 pounds per square inch.
To detach the animal force equal to 54.3
pounds per square inch of the surface ad-
herring to the rock was needed The great
est adhesive force noted was I'LL pounds
per square inch of foot surface, and the
least was 37l per square inch. Parsons
