A Methodist Minionaire.
From london Tit Bits.

fTOiil lIOlluOu LII ~ ..
The name OF Sir Christopher Fur
ness, whose remarkable cooperative
offer to his work people has attracted
so much attention, is possessed of
great wealth acquired by his wi ex-
~ertions, and owns over 10000 acres Of
land. Sir Christopher is n OF the
few merchant princes among the
Primitive Methodists, and he has not
forgotten his chapel days now that he
has become prosperous. A few years
ago he paid OFF the debts of all the
free churches in the Hartlepools, and
this is only one of many acts of SINH
lar munificence standing to his credit.
He has a great faculty for seeing and
grasping an opportunity. When quite
a lad, having been sent to Sweden by
his firm, he found that circumstances
favored a fine stroke of business,
brought off the coup IN his own re-
sponsibility, and on his return home,
was rewarded by an admission to the
partnership.

T~estamentary Revenge.

From the New York World.
Testators do not always depart this
life in q %forgiving frame of mind. Mrs.
Catharine E.. Heckler, OF Portland,
Ore, bequeathed to her husband 81,
payable in monthly installments. Mr..
Heckler is referred to as the indi-
'vidual who married me in 1906"
Some years ~ u certain Colonel
Nash ~bequeathed an annuity of ESQ
upon condition that the bell-ringers of
Bath Abbey, Eng, should ring the
death-knell from 8 a. IN. to 8 p. m. on
the anniversary of his wedding day. On
the day of his happy release by death
there was to be a merry peal for same
length of time.
1t was the earl of Stafford who be-
queathed to his wife five and forty
brass halfpence, which will buy her a
'pullet for her supper, a greater sum
than her father can ever make over to
her, he being the worst of men and his
wife the worst OF women"
Another husband provided hand
,somely for his wife n sister with the
condition that they should spend an
hour a week in company at the grave.
This, so the will stated, was because
they had made the %testator's life mis-
cradle and he wanted to be certain
that they will torment each other for
q while after his death.

India Snake Victims.
From the Times Of India

From the Times OF India.
According 20 the snake" statistics
for 1907 the total mortality among hui
man beings caused by snake bites fell
from 22,S11 in 1906 to 21,41S in 1907. So
low a figure has not been reached since
1897. The decrease Is noticeable main
,ly in Bengal and eastern Bengal and
Assam, where the figures fell from
$500 and 2,730 in 1905. to S,276 and
1900 respectively, in 1907. The most
important increases occurred in Mad
,ras and Burma, where the figures rose
from 1927 and Lac in 1906 to 1877 and
1913, respectively. The decrease in
eastern Bengal and Assam Is attributed
to the foods having been lower. The
central provinces figure 1886 is the
Lowest returned in any one of the last
seven years. The Laurer- Brunton
treatment of snake bites by incision
and application of permanganate of
potash and the distribution of lancets
continues. 1t is too early yet to pro-
:nounce with any certainty as to the
result Of the experiment, but a number
of favorable reports have been received.
Eight cases are reported from the
United Provinces Of the successful use
of DR.. Calmette's anti-venene. In two
of these cases the permanganate of
potash treatment was also employed.

BAD ITCHING M

Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw
Feet SwOIIen-SIeeD broken
Cured I'm 2 Days by Cuticura.
Some two months ago I had a hui
NOR break out on my limbs below my
knees. They came to look like raw
beefsteak, all red, and no one knows
how they itched and burned. They
were 81 swollen that 1 could not get
my shoes on for a week DR. more. I
used five or six different remedies and
got no help, only when applying them
the burning was worse and the itching
less. For two or three weeks the suf-
ferlng was intense and during that time
l did not sleep ar hour at a time. Then
n morning 1 tried a bit Of Cuticura.
From the moment it touched me the
itching was gone and l have not felt
a bit Of it since. The swelling went
down and in two days I had my shoes
on and was about as usual. George

NOT AFFECTED BY DEPRESSION
One Big Industry That Makes Its Bust
ness Grow and Expand During
Year of Business lanrassion.

When a manufacturing establishment
reaches out in q year of depression and
increases and expands its business,
while others in the same line diminish
their outputs or stand still, 1t is be-
cause there must be some unusually
good reason for it. In this instance a
splendid reputation INT a more-than-
ordinary meritOrious product were re-
spOnsible for the showing made.
The Mayer Boot and Shoe company,
Milwaukee, the largest shoe establish
ment in the Northwest, has just closed
it's fiscal year, and reports an increase
in sales over the corresponding period
of last year. This exceptional showing
speaks volumes for the genuine merit
of Mayer shoes. and is directly attrib-
uted to their high standard, and be-
cause of the act that Mayer shoes
have become universally and popularity
known as shoes OF quality"
Most Of our readers, no doubt, have
become familiar with the shoe adVer-
tisements of this 'enterprising firm,
that ave been appearing in the col
umns of this publication for a number
of years past. To those who have not
yet become familiar with the extraOr-
binary wearing qualities Of Mayer
shoes, we would recommend a closer
acquaintance by a purchase of a pair
at the first occasion.
The leading brands are "Honorbilt'
fine shoes for men. Leading Lady"
fine shoes for 'Yerma" Cush-
ion shoes for both men and women
(these are exceptionally fine shoes for
people troubled with tender feet): the
popular Martha Washington" Com
fort shoes, which have the largest sale
OF any shoes of their Kind in the world.
and the Special Merit" School shoes
Ga strong and sturdy line of seamless
school shoes that wear like iron.) In
addition to these brands, the Mayer
Boot 4 Shoe company make a complete
line of everyday and Sunday shoes for
all purposes. In fact, there is a Mayer
shoe for every purpose and for every
member Of the family.

whiskey for Rheumatism.

The increased use of whiskey for
rheumatism is causing considerable dis
cussion among the medical fraternity.
1t is an almost infallible cure when
mixed with certain other ingredients
and taken properly. The following
formula is effective: ITO n half pint
OF good whiskey add n Of Toris
Compound and one ounce OF Syrup Sar'
sapariIla Compound. Take in table,
spoonful doses before each meal and
before retiring"
TOris compound is a product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceuti'
cal Co, Chicago, but it as well as the
other ingredients can be had from any
good druggist.
