NOTE BY THE MANUFACTURER:

NOTE BY THE MANUFACTURERS:
 Some manufacturers boast of how large theTr bottles Of medicine are. Others of how sweet theirs is. Others of how cheap theirs s boast only of the great merit of John. sons Tonic. am in the medicine business, not in tho confectionery line. I have striven so make the best medicine, not the sweetest. Jonnson's Tonic has made record for itself or having cured 516 cases of fever out of every 577 cases. We are not in the business to tickle the peoples palate but to cure them. Those people who regard their palates of more importance than their lives are not worth saving. When life and death are the issues the taste or the size or the price are too trihing matters to consider. Johnson's Tonic cures. That is good reason for using it.

QUES ATHLETICS.
Rev. Madison Peters Says the Sports Are
 Too Brutal.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Speaking on the subject of athletics, Rev. Madison Peters said last night in his prelude: We go to extremes in everything. We make hard work out of our holidays. and we are always glad to get home to rest after the days dissipation. The ball game, which a few years ago promised to do so much good for the physical manhood of the overworked, has rapidly degraded into a craze so that the game as now conducted has become a great national nuisance. 1 am an enthusiast for athletics. The gym nasium of to-day will prevent the dys- pepsia of the future, but I protest against smashing noses, breaking fin gers and kicking souls out of mems bodies in the name of athletics. The gladiatorial shows of Rome, the bull fights of Spain and prize fights are re- fined compared with the football bru- tality of to-day. Every sensible man comments the moderate use of games and sports, but have we not gone to extremes in our play? We spend so much time and money on our sports that the question arises, Whither is this tendency leading?'

butterflies are cleaned, fine types"
beautiful and rare varieties" and
wonderful ''uniques" are practically
priceless. For example, one of the
gems of the collection of Mr. Neu-

paplllO neumOegeni. This insect, the
only one of its kind ever captured, was
taken on the Island of Sumbawa, south
east Of Java. Received in shipment
from his collector at that place, Mr.. Neu-
moegen at once concluded that it was
new to science. He sent it to Europe,
risking its loss, and experts there de-
cided that he was right. 1t is of a

unique. If it were sold at auction in
London it would bring 81 900 at least.

There is great rejoicing in Canada
over the proposed reduction Of Is cents
per bushel in the duty upon potatoes.
and the same enthusiasm exists in Ger
many and the United Kingdom. This
does not only mean that farmers will
receive Is cents per bushel less for po-
tatoes grown in this country, but it will
probably be much greater difference,
because the potatoes grown in our coast
states, which have hitherto supplied the
seaboard market, and those grown along
the Canadian border, which have sup
piled our northern markets, will be
forced farther west and south, in compe-
tition with potatoes grown in the largest
potato growing sections of the country.
Then the dealers will have things their
own way and will force prices down to
any point they please; probably one-half
Of what they have been recently paying.
