Archbishop Out of His Head.

Archbishop Thompson was greatly
surprised when he was given the arch
diocese OF York. He had been suf-
fering acutely from toothache, and
upon medical advice had resortod to
narcotics. After particularly bad
night he set out for his doctor, though
his wife had besought him not to sub
nit to further narcotics. as after them
he was mot himself for some hours.
On the way he met the postman, who
handed him a letter announcing hi
preferment from Gloucester to Yor'l.
He rushed back and burst excitedly
into the house, the toothache all for

High Prices in Russia.

''1t is well to warn travellers entering
Russia about the marked difference in
money there and elsewhere, writes Je-
rome Hart. From whatever direction
you come the money is on smaller
scale. Pfennigs, centimes, centsimi,
centimos, ore, hellers - all of these,
roughly speaking, run from four or five
to cent. 1t makes a great difference.
The Russian kopeck is worth about half
cent. The twenty and fifty kopecl
pieces look very mnch like the French,
Swiss and Italian coins worth 2l6 and
cents. They are insignificant punky
little things, and do not look their value.
If the traveller is not careful he will
discover, with shock, about the third
day, that he has been giving away 10 and
20-cent pieces as gratuities under the
impression that they are worth only /
and cents.
Tourists in Russia will find the
prices there are not low. Everything is
dear. The hotels charge high rates.
The good restaurants are expensive.
The prices for imported wines, spirits
and cigars are much higher than in
other European countries. There are
excellent hotels to be found in St. Peters.
burg and Moscow, but they charge in
accordance with their excellence. Even
at those most frequented by strangers
the traveller will not find English and
French spoken as he will in western
Europe.
"As an item showing the prices
charged in the first restaurants in
ST. Petersburg, single portion of stur-
geon, sufficient for two, appeared on the
bill of fare at $3.50. This fish is so cheap
in San Fancisco that servants refuse to
eat it, not because it is poor, but because
it is cheap. '-Argonaut.

No Need of Advice.

Rear-Admiral Henry c. Taylor often
cited as an example of grim humor
an incident that befell a young wo-
man who was doing missionary work
in the hospitals during the civil war.
One day, during her rounds, a young
soldier, Immediately after she had
passed him, set up loud laugh. She
turned and looked at him in surprise.
He seemed pitiful case Nothing Of
him but his face was visible on the
little white bed, and this young face
was sadly thin and pale. Neverthe-
less he laughed like one possessed.

she said. why, ma'am." said he,

A Miqhty Preacher.

John Ross was a Scotch minister
who fiourished in the early part of
the seventeenth century Tales of
his wonderful deeds are told to this
day in his former parish of Blair. At
one time the reverend gentleman
walked to Mause a distance of about
three miles for the purpose of seeing
a certain farmer and if possible in
ducing him to come to church, where
he had never been. He found him
fishing in the river and asked to be
allowed to have cast. Il never lend
my rod to anybody" said the farmer.
But" replied the minister, Il have
come all the way expressly to see yCc-
and must have cast" The farmer,
who was very strong man and had
never been beaten in fist fight Of
"All right" said the minister, and
he gave the farmer such mauling
that he was glad to give up his rod.
fered to fight for it .
But it was different kind of fishing
tha4 the minister had come for. He
asked the farmer to keep the rod and
conduct him to his house at Mause.
When they arrived the minister said,
Now, you go on your knees and pray"
telling him that he would leave till he
did So"
So the farmer fell on his knees and
cried; "Oh, Lord, deliver me from
this man" Stop" said the minister.
THAT is very good. | hope you may
always be able to do as well. Now,
you have to promise to come to the
kirk next Sunday" This the farmer
did. Not long afterward he became a
leading elder.

That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS

use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
S m lar expressions are
made so often in Connec-

that they are worthy Of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying inn

more of a secret than the

it does through nourish-

You Must
Sleep.

If YOU cannot, it is due to an
irritatcd or congcstcd state of
the brain, which will soon de-
velope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
OF Inconsistencies relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex-
hausted vitality.
DR.. Miles Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
1t is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev-
cry nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as DR.. Miles Nervine.
During the past winter I had two
attacks OF LaGrippe which left me
very weak, and in bad condition. I
was so nervous I could not sleep. My
wife. after trying different. remedies,
went for n doctor. The doctor, was
out. and n neighbor recommended DR..
Miles Nervine. and she brought home
n bottle. l had not slept for some time.
and had terrible pains In my. head.
After taking a few doses OF Nervine
the pain was not so severe, and /
slept. I am now taking the second
bottle. and am very much improved"

much praise cannot be accorded the

The rose drill was we'll executed by little

After this came recitation, which was

comedy in three acts in which the parts
were taken by the larger boys and girls
of the school There was the livelicst in

BEL AIR AGAIN VICTORIOUS.

The game of base ball between the Bel
Air team and the Remingtons, of Balti-
more, played last Saturday, was fully as
exciting as any of the rooters could wish
tor, and the finish was of the kind that
makes the hearts OF the enthusiast glad.
ne contest was very close and both
teams played irst-class ball Bel Air
took the lead in the first inning, Proctor
leading off with a two Dagger, stole third
and scored on Richardson's hit to short
Bel Air scored two more in the third
inning. Remington went out in one, two,
three order up to the fourth inning In
this inning they scored one run The
score stood three to one up to the eighth
inning in Bel Airs favor, when the Are
works began. E Johnson went out ION
fly to J. Carroll and Barnes struck olt.
With two out, Bowling gave Sapp and
UDglaub base on balls. Franklin's hit
scored both men, and he scored later on
Rustic's inheld hit and Dowling's error.
This put Remingtons one run to the good.
With the score four 10 three against them,
Bel Air went in to their half of the eighth,
and one of their old time uphill games
was played. Sewage singled, went to
second on DowIings sacrifice, and scored
on hughes two Dagger to right field,
tying the score. Remingtons could not
score in the ninth. Bel Air rooters took
hand here and made the air ring Cal
der went out, short to first; E. Carroll
nit to left, Proctor hit to centre, Richard
son was out to right field. With two
on bases and two out, Sewage wrapped
out corking three Dagger, scoring the
winning run, and the game was won.
Selvage's playing was the feature, his
throwing to second being beautiful.
There was shift in the positions of the
Bel Air lineup, owing to Capt. Reckord
being unable to play. Richardson held
down first base and played it beautifully,
while Calder surprised his friends by his
clean, snappy play at second, and Eddie
and James Carroll were back in their old
positions, Eddie's playing causing cheers,
while James CAROLS running catch of
Rustic's fly in the fourth was sensational,
as was also Thompson's catch of James
Carroll fly to centre in the eighth.
