Everybody is talking about the gretat free offer of Dr. Greene's, the most successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, and who discovered that wonderful medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. He makes @ speciality of treating patients through letter corrs- spondence, and all who accept his offer are astonished at the marvellous success of this method. His office is at 9 West 14th St., New York City, where he receives and carefully examines every letter sent to him by persons describing their cases and tell ing their symptoms. After thorough ly studying each case he answers the letter, explaining the cause of each symptom and telling sure way to get we'll and strong. He makes the patients understand exactly what ails them and tells them all about their complaint, and all this is en- tirely free of charge. They save the expense of a trip to the city, have no fee to pay, and have the benefit of the best medical advice and consultation. Here is an opportunity for you to get wei, reader; you can either accept or reject it. Which will you do?

THREE DEADLY AGENTS.
Peculiar Properties of a Spider, .
 Grain and Vine.

Peculiar Properties of a Spider, .
 Grain and Vine.
 What is the most terrible form in which death comes? Here are three. but which one of them is the worst 1t is hard to say:
 In Peru and parts of South Australia there is found small spider about half as big as Q pea. When this insect digs its fangs into its victim 1t inserts a poison which begins at once to act 1t scorches up the blood vessels and spreads through the tissue, causing most dreadful agony. The worst part of it is that the victim usually suffers for two days, but death in the end is inevitable.
 Another fearful death results from eating "bhat," a vegetable which grows in the east, of which a few grains cause violent mania, ending in death. "Bhat'' occasionally grows. in among the rice crop, from which it is hard to distinguish until dry, when the poisonous grain Is of brick red color.
 There is South American vine call ed the "knotter," which grips any liv- flag thing coming in contact with it. Its tentacles twine round the object seized, soaring and burning the flesh like redhot wires. Then the prey is drawn into the heart of the foliage and there crushed to death. The meth cd Is too horrible to describe in detail. -Pearson's Weekly.

After Baron Martin, who possessed great horror of sporting prophets, ' had become partially deaf he was on one occasion trying a racing case, an exercise of his functions he reveled In One of the counsel engaged in 1t was named Summers, solemn, formal sententious parsonage, who seldom made. a speech without quoting pas- sages from Scripture. In addressing the jury he was about to pursue his old habit and got as far as ''as the prophet says" when the judge inter- posed:
 Don't trouble the jury, MT. Stam- mers, about the prophets. There is not one of them who would not sell his fa- ther sixpenny worth of halfpence."
 "But, my lord" said Stammers in a subdued tone, "I was about to quote from the Prophet Jeremiah"
 Don't tell me-" replied the baron. 'I have no doubt your friend MT. Myer Is just as bad as the rest of them."- London Graphic.

 E At the meeting of the Bi-State Fleague representatives at Hotel Burns, Palmer, last Thursday evening, the Attendance was small. It is under stood that some of the teams com. prising the league of last year are favorable to the plan, while others are not. Ludlow and Monson favor "a league, and Ware will join if g team is put in the field in the latter town. Stafford will join the league If there is one formed; if not, will play independent hall. Monson will probably have a team this season, and no doubt a series of games can be arranged with that town even if there is no league. Rockville is anxious to make arrangements for 8 series, and there will be ample opportunity for busy season. The Father Matthew Temperance society of Indian Orchard has appointed committee to see about putting 8 team in the field this season. The society does not favor the Bi.State league idea. An other meeting will soon be held at Palmer, when it will probably be definitely decided whether the Bi. State will be continued or not.
 Grace Church Notes: Grace church choir of 80 voices has now become an admirable and efficient force in the work and worship of this parish. The faithfulness and energy of the members, with the aid and support of the parish, brought forth the reali- zation of their patient waiting in evident and highly gratifying results last Sunday The history of this body as vested, process1onal choir began at the morning service, the Holy Communion, in their entrance, with hymn 112, "Jesus Christ is Risen To-day'' The solo, "Fear Not Ye, O Israel,'' Bucks music, rendered by s. H. Little, gave a grateful touch to the worship, and together with the sympathetic and feeling support of the organist, O. W. Wood, in all the days work, are deeply appreciated. The evening service was all sung, except the psalms and lessons, the latter being read by tine senior warden, MT. Mel bourne. His son, Arthur Melbourne, is cross bearer. The service was concluded with festal Te Deum and the reoessional hymn, ''The Church s One Foundation. The power and ability of the choir, as we'll as their appearance in the church's uniform, surely exceeded expectations. A splendid start has been made, on which great efficiency should be built. The rehearsal will be on Friday even- ings at p. m., instead of Saturday, until further notice.
