Eosv Come. Easv Go.

The man who creeps along bent over,
with his spinal column feeling in a
condition to snap like Il pipestem at any
minute, would readily give a great deal
to get out of his dilemma, and yet this
is only the conmonest form by which
lumbago seizes on and twists out of
shape the muscles of the back. This is
commonly known as backache, a crick
in the back, but by whatever name it
may be known, and however bad it may
be, ten minutes vigorous rubbing with
st. Jacobs Oil on the afflicted part will
drive out the trouble and completely
restore. 1t is a thing so easily caught
it may be wondered at why there is not
more of it, but because it is so easily
cured by st. Jacobs Oil may be the
very reason that we hear so little of it.

Consolation and Comfort.

Who is it that does not wish to be out
in the open mir or alive in some field Of
sport, whether it be with the bat, rod
or gun; whether we go coasting owe
the hills and wales on the wheel or sail
ing over rough a or into serene
coves, 1t is all sport, and the springing
muscles seem to need it. 1t is bound
to happen that some mishap will occur
Thus it is that we have sprains in
abundance. Light sprains, spraius that
cripple, sprains that give great pain,
eprains that rob us Of sleep, but sports.
men OF all kinds have come to know
that there is nothing better than the
old, reliable st. Jacobs Oil. Have 1t
with you for use; you may rely on its
cure of the worst sprain and restoration
to the comforts of life.

"Men are dreadfully brusque some

night my brother and I Went to the
house of a friend to a reception. 1t was
q hot night and the house was crowded
and there wasn't anything to do bat to
stand around and talk to the people one

wanted to talk with could only be seen
at a distance and W. a sea of inter-

quettes were cold and the ice cream
warm, SO when we finally got away
both my brother and l said. Thank

"Here," said Belinda, 81 trace a
strong point of difference between men
and women. The average girl has too
much pride to let it be known that she
has gone to an entertainment and has
still failed to be entertained. / saw one

straight dances, then l had compassion
on her and sent my escort and a couple
of OTHER men to ask her for the remain

four times in all, yet the next time she
saw me she said she'd had a real de-
l;rious times at that ball, q delightful,
acknowledgement time, and, she
added modestly, that she had been quite
a belle. A man under the same circum-
stances, though they had been of his
own making, asked if he had enjoyed
himself, would have replied emphatical-

it had been a girl instead of a man in

though the salt water and air had
ruined her prettiest gowns, taken the

A good giraffe skin is worth from S1O
to $25 in Africa to-day, and much more
in Europe or America. On their hunt

q common matter for one hunter to kill
forty or fifty Of these graceful animals

extinct, as many other animals have
