Sci r PRAISE

Self praise is no Recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit Il
person to tell the truth about himself
When what he says is supported by the
testimony of others no reasonable msn
will doubt his word. Now TO say that ALL
COCKS POROUS PLAsTERS are the only
genuine aud reliable porous plasters made
IS not self praise in the slightest degree.
They have stood the test for over thirty
years and in proof of their merits it is
only necessary to call attention to the
cures they have effected and to the volun-
tary testimonials OF those who have used
them.
Beware Of limitations and do not be de-
celved by Misrepresentation. Ask for
ALLCoCK's. and let no solicitation or ey-
PLANTATION induce you to accept substi-
tute.

That variety which is attended with

occasionally met with cases of defec-

"Just think of being unable to give

for it is fact that while the deaf mute

They are not synonymous by any
means. Stammering is an inability to
properly enunciate certain elementary
speech words; suffering is a vicious
utterance, manifested by frequent rep

sounds Both are caused by improp-

soft palate, tongue, cheeks, lips, etc.
Some of these muscles are under easy
control of the will.
''Over the muscles of the pharynx,

'sThe Horse Is NV Heriot. Ma'am"

By a case before the law courts on Satur
day it was proved that, however civilized
the present generation may consider itself,
the ties which bind it to the dark ages are
still strong and recognized by our system
of Jurisprudence. Mr.. Barrett is lord of the
manor of Wintershall. near Godalmtng,
and he claimed from Mrs Phillips, tenant,
'heriot," which he said was his due on
account of her husbands death.
A '.heriot'' was an ancient Anglo-SaNon
tax levied for the purpose of carrying ON
war, which in later times became pay
ment ON the accession of an heir to property
In q manor, to enable the lord to equip vas
sails for his own retinue aud for the service
Of the king if necessary. England is not at
war Just nowhere is not even a cloud on
the horizon of peace, and even if the last
man of the reserves was about to be sum-
moned to the front it Is hardly likely that
Mr. Barrett's ''heriot" would be placed at
the disposal of the war office
The lord of the manor must be an ad-
mirer of the cavalry service. At all events
when Mr.. Phillips died he insisted upon
seizing the best horse on the land, valued
at ESQ. Mrs Phillips strongly objected,
but the lord of the manor was firm. THE
horse Is my heriot, smaam.'' he said So
the case came before the queens bench and
was settled by Mrs Phillips keeping the
