Some Queer Shoes.

We arc all familiar with the
wooden shoe of the Chinese, with
its dark cloth top. The Portuguese
shoe has a wooden sole and heel,
with a vamp made of leather, fanci-
fully showing the flesh side of the
skin. The Persian wears high
shoe made Of light wood richly in
laid, with a strap extending over
the instep. The Muscovite shoe is
hand woven, on u wooden frame,
and but little attention is paid to
the shape of the foot. Leather is
sometimes used, but the sandal is
generally made of silk cordage and
WOODEN cloth. The Siamese shoe has
the form of an ancient canoe, with
gondola bow and an open toe.
The sole is made of wood, the upper
Of inlaid wood and cloth. and the
exterior is deliberately ornamented
in colors with gold ana silver.

Not a drop of alcohol enters into
DR.. Pierce's leading medicines. A
much better agent is used both for
extracting and preserving the me-
dicinal principles, viz.-pure triple
refined glycerine of proper strength.
This agent possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being a most
valuable anti-septic and anti-fer-
ment, nutritive and soothing de-
mulcent.
GIycerine plays an important
part in DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery in the cure of indi-
gestion, dyspepsia and weak stom-
ach, attended by sour risings,
"heartburn," foul breath, coated
tongue, poor appetite, gnawing
feeling in stomach, biliousness and
kindred arrangements Of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels.
For all diseases of the mucous
membranes. the Golden Medical
Discovery" is specific. Catarrh,
whether of the nasal passages or Of
the stomach, bowels or pelvic or
gans is cured by it. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is
we'll, while taking the Golden
Medical Discovery" for the neces-
sary constitutional treatment, to
cleanse the passages freely two or
three times a dav with DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough
course of treatment generally cures
even in the worst cases.

An English Custom Which Puzzles
When Met In Canada.

When you 60 abroad you expect
to find things different from at
home, and you try to take every
thing as ii matter of course. So in
England when you learn that rail-
road trains pass to the left and not
to the right, as with us, and when
you find that the same rule of the
road applies in city streets and
country highways and byways, you
may be inconvenienced, but you try
to remember and get along some
how.
But when you 60 to Canada and
find this left handed state of things
existing you are bewildered. There
has been no ocean tri p to prepare
you. You pass from Yankee soil to
Canadian soil without knowing
when, and somehow you expect to
find the ordinary affairs of life NOV
ing along as you have been accus-
toned to.
One day YOU are in Portland, Me-,
the next day in st. John, n. B.
You face the direction in which you
wish to go and stands beside the
right hand trolley track waiting for
a trolley car. The car comes, but
it is going the wrong way-for you.
Then you shift to the left.
But the next day when you are
out in the country you have forgot
ten the trolley car episode. You
60 driving. Another team ap-
proaehes. You tug gently on the
right hand rein, expecting Dobbin
or Maude or whatever the beastie's
name is to turn out.
But you get no response. On the
contrary. The argument is not con-
cludcd when the horses stand face
to face and the one you are driv'
ing saws unkind things about you Il
his brother Of the shafts.
BY that time you have remem'
bered, and after an apology you
proceed.
The matter is especially puzzling
since the drivers seat is on the
right. But the Canadians find thu
handy. There the men do most Of
the talking, and when two teams
are passing the horses are checked
and the men find themselves clos'
together.
With US in like case the womer
have the preferred positions from
conversational standpoint. An'
, that's how il should be.

pass at all except at sidings. Their

A HARD WON BET.
Carrying Four Bricks Half a Mile Is
Not an Easy Task.

"The hardest won bet l ever
made" remarked the travelling man
as he shook the ashes off his cigar,
twas to carry four bricks half
mile. That sounds like IA simple
thing to do, doesn't it? Well, you
try it and you will find out whether
it is or not. Of course the manner
of carrying the bricks is important.
A man bet me that | couldn't carry
two bricks in each hand from where
we were back to the hotel and put
them up on the counter. The

" Discovery" is not so good for
acute coughs arising from sudden
colds, nor must it be expected to
cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that
but for all the obstinate harg-on,
or chronic coughs, which, if neg
lected, or badly treated, lead up to
consumption, it is the best med
icine that can be taken.
It's an insult to your intelli-
gence for a dealer to endeavor to
palm off upon you some nostrum
of unknoun composition in place of
DIR. Pierce's world-famed medicines
which are OF KNOWN COMPOSITION.
Most dealers recommend Doctor
Pierce's medicines because they
know what they are made of and
that the ingredients employed are
among the most valuable that a
medicine for like purposes can be
made of. The same is true of
leading physicians who do not hes
itate to recommend them, since
they know exactly what they con-
tain and that their ingredients are
the very best known to medical
science for the cure of the several
diseases for which these medicines
are recommended.
With tricky dealers it is DIFF
ferent.
Something else that pays them a
little greater profit will be urged
upon you as "just as good" or even
better. You can hardly afford to
accept substitute Of unknoun com.
position and without any particular
record of cures in place of Doctor
Pierce's medicines which are OF
KNOWN COMPOSITION and have a
record of forty years Of cnres behind
them. You know what you want
and it is the dealers business to
supply that want. Insist upon ii.
