4 THANK OFFERING
A CLERGYMAN WRITES ON BE-
HALF OF GRATEFUL PEOPLE.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills Restored their
Health and They Wish Other suf-
ferers to Know 1t.
The following letter written by the
Rev. VIM. Lawson, Methodist Minister
at Richibucto, n. B., attests in the
strongest manner the merits of DR..
Williams Pink Pills, and perusal of
it will suggest why this great medi-
cine is so popular in thousands of
homes throughout the Dominion-it
cures when other medicines fail.
Richibucto, N. B., April 26th, 1897.
DR.. Williams Medicine Co.
Dear Sirs,-I am glad to furnish you
the following voluntarily given testi-
monial, with the fullest permission to
give the names and place. They do
this as a thank offering to God and
your medicine. Mrs. VIM. Warman
of Molus River near here) says her
son Alden was sickly from birth. He
could hardly ever retain food, and his
parents had but little hopes that he
would live long and the doctors who
attended him were Of the same opin-
ion. Till seven years Of age he contin-
ued in that condition. Then the use
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills was begun,
and under them he recovered and is
now a strong, healthy boy. Mr.. War
man, the boys father. also adds his
testimonial to the great value of Pink
Pills, saying:-'I suffered for years
with bad back, until | used DR.. VII
liams' Pink Pills and they cured me-"
Miss Annie Warman adds this evil
dence with enthusiasm and freedom:
Il was weak and sickly, and did not
know the blessing of good health till
| took DR.. Williams Pink Pills. | used
eight boxes and have since enjoyed the
best of health In fact | am never sick
now"
Here you have three members of a
family restored to health by the use
of your medicine, and you would a
most cOvet their good health and genial
ways largely resulting from such
health They wish you to freely use
these facts to help other sufferers, and
| am able as their pastor to certify to
| the facts above stated.
Sincerely yours,
VIM LAWSON,
Methodist Minister.

OVERRULED EXCEPTIONS.

Wilder Steamship Company Need
Not Pay.
Yesterday the Supreme Court over
ruled the exceptions taken by the Lau-
pahoehoe Sugar Co. 70 the decision of
the Circuit Court that the Wilder
Steamship Co. was not liable for S4,-
$685. damages resulting form the loss
of the steamer Likelike on the coast Of
Kohala, Hawaii, last April. The Court
sums UP the case in the following Ian
guage given in the decision rendered
by Justice Frear.
"In the absence Of a stipulation to the
controversy, a common carrier is an
insurer against the loss of goods he I'M
dertakes to carry, unless such loss &C
curs bv act of God, or Of the public
enemy, or of the owner of the goods.
But by stipulation he may be exempted
from liability for loss from other caus-
es except his own or his servants acts
or negligence. In this case the defen-
dant had thus been exempted by the
express language of its shipping re-
ceipt. which was accepted by the plain
/ tiff. against losses that might accrue
from various other causes, among
which are disasters or dangers Of the
sea- and unavoidable casualty "
The case turned on whether this was
q disaster of dangers of the sea" or ar
unavoidable casualty"

DUN For Church Members.

After careful consideration, the
Centenary Methodist Church, Of Port
land, Oregon, has decided upon a nov
ell plan of raising funds necessary in
conducting the affairs of the congrega-
tion, says the Chicago Chronicle. 1t
was suggested by the Rev. J. j. Wat
ers, who was determined to run his
church as a democracy, giving every
body an opportunity and inducement
to contribute. At meeting Of the
influential members he explained his
plan. He showed a large roster, with
all the members of the church on it..
Opposite each name are ffty-two
spaces for credit marks. The roster
is placedin the vestibule Of the church,
where it remains, in plain view of
everyone entering the church. At
the close of every month the roster is
taken down, and all who have contri-
buted anything to the current expen-
ses of church are checked up in the
spaces opposite the names. The
amount paid is not given, but the
check indicates that something, how
ever small, has been paid toward the
support of the church. The contribu
ton comes into the hands of the clerk
by means of envelopes, and the
amount and name are obtained in this
way. The roster will show just who
has paid anything and who has not.
Ii is claimed for the system that the
delinquents get tired, after a while,
seeing the row of blanks after their
names, and begin to pay something in
order to fit up the blank spaces. 1t
is a sort of ever-present dunning board.
Ii looks down with significant silence
on every member who enters the
church door. The delinquent cannot
escape its all-seeing eye. Whether
present or absent, he knows it is there
aud the blank spaces seem constantly
to say, ''pay something. The meet
ing adopted the plan unanimously.

Georgia some years ago overlook a
young man whose sack of corn under
him on the farm horse he rode, gave
evidence that he was bound for the
grist-mill.
Some conversation between the two
developed the fact that the young man
was a son of the author of a popular
almanac.
The gentleman asked the young man
jocosely, "And do you ever make cal
culations upon the weather, like those
for which your father is so celebra-
ted?"
"Oh yes he replied readily.

Best They Could Afford.

1t in the early days Of the church
and the singing, Of which the congre
CATION is now very proud, was in an
embryotic condition, owing to the
scarcity of funds, and not very good.
But the church was struggling to do its
best and its people we're working hard.
The warden was one of these, and he
had the interest of everything very
much at heart He is warden now,
and he tells this story with much of a
Christian spirit or otherwise, accord
ing to whether or not people believe
in militant Christianity. Any way,
this is what happened:
II find your singing very poor,
said showily dressed woman to the
warden, in pomrous tones, as she left
the church one morning.
The warden happened TO have been
the man who had taken the contribu-
tion on the aisle on which the showily
dressed woman sat. He knew the
amount of her contribution.

"that we had as good l0-cent concert
as you ever heard in your life?''

slippers and had seated himself before
a cheerful CRATE fire in his library,
waiting for dinner, Harry entered the
room, and, seating himself at table,

looked up and said: "Papa, suppose

A Novel Barometer.

1t has taken clever Frenchman to
discover kind Of barometer which
may be safely called unique. An
English Journal says that it is moth
ing more nor less than the figure Of a
general made Of gingerbread.
He buys one every year and takes
it home and hangs it by string on
nail.
Gingerbread, as every one knows,
is easily affected by changes in the
atmosphere. The slightest moisture
renders it soft, while in dry weather
it grows hard and tough.
Every morning. on going out, the
Frenchman asks his servant, "What
does the general say?' and the man
applies his thumb to the gingerbread
figure.
Perhaps he may reply, THE general
feels soft. He would advise you tax
ing an umbrella. On the other hand
if the gingerbread is hard and unyield-
ing to the touch, it is safe to go forth
in ones best attire, umbrelaless and
confident.
The Frenchman declares that the
general has never yet proved unworthy
of the confidence placed in him, and
would advise all whose purse will not
allow them to purchase barometer or
aneroid, to see what the local baker
can do for them in the gingerbread
line. '-H,rperx Round Tuh1e.
