Sends the Following Grand Testimonial to
the Merits of Cuticura Remedies in the
Treatment of Humours of the
Blood, Skin and Scalp.

III wish to give my testimony to
the efficiency of the Cuticura Rene
dies in what seems to me two some
what remarkable cases. l had a
number of skin tnmours small
ones-on my arms which had never
given me serious trouble ; but about
two years ago one came on my
throat. At first it was only about as
large as a pinhead, but, as it was in
a position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritate it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger, than a bean.
A little unusual irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
a day or two it was as large as
half an orange. / was very much
alarmed, and was at a loss to de-
termine whether it was a carbuncle
or a malignant tumor.

Perfect Resp,ratIon.

For perfect respiration two things
are necessary chest capacity and
breath control. The average individ-
ual. woman especially, uses but a linn
Tied portion of the lungs and upper
chest in ordinary breathing. When.
ever a little unusual physical effort
makes demand for an extra breathing
capacity note how she puffs and pants,
almost to a point Of gasping. The rea-
son for this is that the muscles Of the
lower chest, waist and abdomen have
become well nigh atrophied through
neglect and abuse, They are stiff and
unresponsive, and have now to be
coaxed back to a condition Of activity
and obedience. - ga Il
1t is quite as possible to educate
these muscles SO that they shall re-
spond to our slightest demand, as it is
that Ill hands are trained to do our
bidding. Different teachers will ad-
vocate different forms Of breathing
upper chest, side chest, lower chest
and abdominal breathing but what
We most want is absolute control; such
control Of the muscles as shall enable
us to make use of any desired form Of
breathing at the word of command.
for all forms have special values. Full
upper chest breathing is used most,
but lower chest and abdominal breath
ing are very valuable in cases of ner-
vousness, Indigestion, stomach and
bowel troubles.-The Pilgrim.

The EpemIe. If VIVA shae,

Wild sheep depend for greatest pro-
lection on their climbing abilities. They
travel where no man can follow, and
often in climbing use their knees in
stead of their forehoofs. Their first
instinct at the approach Of an enemy
is to start for the mountain top, aiming
If possible to get above and keep above
the enemy. Wolves, wolverines and
eagles are their most common enemies.
and the lambs suffer extensively from
these. Wolves r capable of taking
down grown animals, but in summer
hunger seldom induces them to make
the struggle, and in winter they pre-
fer lower attitudes. There are many
stories told Of the lordly rams doing
battle with wolves, which are on a
par with the story Of leaping from
dizzy heights. The old rams are cum
ming, and in this lies their greatest
safety. They are perfectly at home
on rocky lodges, where the wolf is not.
and if they can gain such a position
they will, with one charge, hurl the
wolf to the rocks below.-A. J. Stone,
in Outing.

Fox Hunters and the Farmer.

Fox hunting is not, nor should any
one endeavor to make 1t, an exclusive
sport. The small farmer over whose
land you may gallop once a year feels
that he has quite as much right in the
field as the President of your hunt
club. And so he has. In most clubs
every means is exerted to prevent the
sport from being considered exclusive.
In this respect the hunt clubs are
placed in somewhat of a quandary,
however. Their meets are public fix
lures, and every one is welcome who
is well mounted and can ride. But
many irresponsible persons who cannot
ride, and whose horses go through the
fences rather than over them, flock to
popular meets. The result is that the
damage they do to fences and crops
in the ground is scored against the
club, and must either be paid for in
hard cash or in hard feeling, which is
far worse.-Outing.

Resume Relations After 1898 Year,

Resume Relations After 3 Years.
The Greeks and P~ersians have Just
resumed diplomatic relations after an
interruption of 1898 years.
These relations were originally inter
rupted by the war which is immortal
lied by the battles of Marathon, Their
mOpylae and Salamis.
The Shah Of Persia has Just sent a
Minister to Athens, and the King of
Greece has returned the compliment,
thus showing that time will heal all
quarrels, if n only has patience.
1t was in 491 B. G. that Darius, King
Of Persia, then the greatest power in
the world, sent an embassy to the
Athenians to demand homage and SUBJ
mission to his s%uzerainty. The Athen-
ians proudly refused to send represen-
tatives to "offer earth and water to
the Persian monarch, and he invaded
Greece with a great army.
In 400 B. c., on the plains of Mara
thon, the Greeks, numbering 10000, I'm
der Miltiades, utterly defeated 1OO, OOO
Persians. That ended the campaign
Of Darius. A mound containing ashes
and pottery still marks the burial place
Of the Athenian dead.
In 480 B. O., Xerxes H., son Of Da-
RUS, invaded Greece with the greatest
army ever known. 1t has been esti-
mated at 1000, 900 men. He bridged
the Hellespont and overran Northern
Greece. The Greek Army held a strong
position in the Pass of Thermopylae,
which guards the entrance to Southern
Greece. The Greek position, however,
was betrayed, and Leonidas dismissed
all his army but 1000 picked men, with
whom he resisted the Persians until
he and his men were all slain. This
great battle crippled Xerxes's army,
but did not prevent him from burning
Athens. His ships were destroyed by
Themistocles at Salamis, and he pre-
ferred to return to Persia, leaving his
generals to war with the Greeks for a
time.
1t is pleasant to note that not the
slightest i'll feeling now remains from
this war. The Persians are not now
in a position to bully the world. The
enemies of the Greeks are the Turks
and the Russians.-New York Amer

Hamilton, Bermuda.-The Quebec
Steamship Company's steamer Madi-
ana, Captain Frazer, which sailed from
New York City on a special cruise
among the Caribbean Islands with a
party of ex~cursi5nists. struck on the
reefs off this island and will prove a
total loss.
The Madiana is lying with a heavy
list and broadside to the wind on the
reef, one and a half miles northeast
Of North Rock. The seas are break
ing over her.
There was 10 loss of life. The Madi.
ara had on board eighty-four passen-
gers, the majority Of whom live in the
eastern section Of the United States.
The passengers had a thrilling ex-
perience. All were rescued and brought
safely to land after a perilous trip in
lifeboats from the wreck to- a tug
standing a mile of. The mails and
the passengers baggage also were
saved.
No explicit explanation is vet forth
coming as to how the vessel went on
the rocks, and the only information
obtainable from the officers is that the
light which indicates the channel for
some reason could not be seen.
All the passengers were in their
hunks when the Madiana struck the
rocks, but the shock Of the impact
awakened themy and they rushed on
deck, the majority of them without at
tempting to dress. Considerable alarm
prevailed among the passengers. but
the officers went among them and
calmed them, although a number did
not venture below again to seek proper
clothing. A part Of the crew did not
share the GOODNESS of the officers. but
the latter O restored order among
the troublesome seamen.
Signals of distress were sent ND. and
the passengers passed an anxious time
during the latter part Of the night. The
Madiana listed heavily after a time.
and when morning broke lay broadside
to the wind. The passengers were
huddled together on the hurricane deck.
and the sea breaking over the steamer
drenched them to the skin.
The tug Gladysfen stood about a mile
off, awaiting an opportunity to assist,
but it was not until IL o'clock in the
morning that it became possible to eff
feet a rescue. The crew Of the Madiana
launched a boat, but it could not live
in the sea then running, and was
dashed to pieces against the steamers
side. A more successful attempt was
made a little later, and the remainder
Of the passengers and the captain and
crew gained the salvage tug in safety.
The steamer Madiana was built in
Glasgow in 1876 and is of 1888 tons net
burden. She is 344 feet eight. inches
long, has thirty-nine feet four inches
beam and is twenty-nine feet deep.
The steamer is owned by the Quebec
Steamship Company and halls from
London.
The Madiana was ON a special ex-
cursion cruise, the itinerary of which
included stops at Bermuda, the Wind
ward Islands, Cuba and Porto Rico.

money, sent in their wedding rings as
their humble contribution for the relief

this kind act.
Recently the old couple celebrated
their golden wedding under very dis

who fired the bullets at King Edward,
who was then Prince of Wales, at a
railway station in Brussels on April 4.
