Instinct Told Them the Right Road.

'1 had an experience to be remem
bered once at Moosehead," said JOS
eph Williams. "Three of us were out
in the lake one winters day in Janu
ary when a storm came up. We had
couple of horses and rode on sledges
made of split birch poles. To get
home and settled in the cabins before
night came was our one wish, but for
two hours the icy clouds had been
blowing up on the horizon, and now
came down in whirl of snow and ICY
wind. In half an hour we were lost
on the ice. Two hours later we
crossed our own tracks again and knew
that we had been going about in a
circle. To stay out there all night
would be death, and to keep on trav-
cling about aimlessly meant to fall at
last exhausted. Finally, as the wind
blew keener along the level surface,
and the snow beat on our faces with
more cutting effect, we called halt
and discussed again the chances. An
old guide who was with us suggested
that we let the horses take their own
way off the lake. 1t seemed foolish,
but we agreed. Striking the horses
smart clips with the whips, we were
surprised TO see them turn each to the
left and start off to the east. We
thought that this would take us far
ther into the lake, but submitted, and
in half an hour the trees along the
bank loomed up through the storm
and we were safe. horse knows by
instinct what man doubts and ques
tions in such times. Lewiston (Me.)

up both solid flesh and strength after grip,
pneumonia, fevers and other prostrating
diseases, "Golden Medical Discovery" has
no equal. 1t does not make fat people more
corpulent, but builds up solid, wholesome
flesh.
Do you feel dull, languid, low spirited,
have fullness or bloating after eating, tongue
coated, bitter or bad taste in mouth, irregu-
lar appetite, frequent headaches, floating
specks before eyes, nervous prostration and
drowsiness after meals
If you have any considerable number OF
these symptoms, you are suffering from
torpid liver, associated with dyspepsia, or
indigestion. The moro complicated your
disease the greater the number Of symptoms
No matter what stage 1t has reached, DR..
Perces Golden Medical Discovery will sub
due it.
Nervousness, sleeplessness, nervous pros.
tration, nervous debility, and kindred dis
turbances are genei ally due to impoverished
blood. The nervous system suffers for want
of pure, rich blood to nourish and sustain
it. Purify, enrich and vitalize the blood by
taking "Golden Medical Discovery" and all
these nervous troubles vanish.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" is far
better for this purpose than the much ad.
loudly recommended for nervous prostration,
as they ''put the nerves to sleep" but do
not invigorate, brace up and SO strengthen
the nervous system as does the Discovery
thus giving permanent benefit and a radical
cure.
Buy of reliable dealers. With any others,
something else that pays them better will
probably be urged as just as good" Per-
haps it Is, for them; but 1t can't be, for you.

Power of Music TO S00th.

Once more the power of music to
sooth suffering is borne witness to by
the effect it had upon number OF pa
tients III an English infrmary. In
one case woman who was suffering
from melancholia was So affected by a
lullaby that she spoke for the first
time ia two weeks. The experiment
of distracting the mind by means OF
soft music was tried in hospital
ward where there were fourteen pa
tients. and the doctor who watched its
effect says: "Four patients were put
to sleep. Some liked it too we'll to
sleep, and others felt sad, but de-
lighted" Here is hint OF beautiful
use that the young woman with musi-
cal gifts can make of her power, New

Poison i'm Eels.

Recent investigations undertaken
by the Academy of Sciences, Rome,
have demonstrated the fact that the
blood of both eels and lampreys con-
tains poison similar to that of the
viper. The blood of four pound eel
poison sufficient to kill ten men. The
poison is rendered innocuous by cook
ing; nevertheless the academy recon-
mends that people suffering from any
organic LESSONS should abstain from
these fish. Literary Digest.

MANY VISITORS IN TOWN.

MANY VISITORS IN TOWN.
 We have many visitors in town. MT Brewer has come to take his family to their home in York state, and Mrs Swift, who has spent several weeks at her old home, is soon to return to her new home in Hartford. The Lake is thronged with people, who have fled from the cities, evidently more than was anticipated, but not more than is wanted by the numerous hotels and boarding houses. It is their annual harvest, like the overfiowing of the Nile, without which some of the Lake residents, might have scanty sub- sistence, without falling back upon previously laid up resources.
 The dry weather continues. Since the ink has dried from the last writing the clouds have dropped rain. We are thank full and take courage. The hills and lawns needed it.

THE CHURCH FAIR A SUCCESS.

fAlh A SUCCESSs
 The result of the church fair and fes- tival here on Thursday of last week was most satisfactory and the proceeds will be devoted towards cancelling the pres ent entire debt of the ecclesiastical so- ciety, so that the church edifice, grounds and parsonage are not financially unen- cumbered. Many thanks are due to the Ladies' Sewing society of this place, which has helped so much to bring about this present good state of affairs, and we hope now that their responsible ity ends in this respect, their exertions for the public will be turned towards another object, necessary and beneficial in this place, viz, public hall. With the ladies the hall can be built, and by their kind assistance, we trust greater impet- us will be manifested on the part of the men than has been seen for like object here in 40 years.
