Three Royal Toasts.

The ~G1eville Memoirs" tells this story of King William ". of England and the Duke of Cumberland, his brother: During dinner loud voices were heard. which soon became more vehement. Both brothers had drunk more than usual, and the duke had lost his temper and his head. Then for the first time King William sus- pected the idea which from that time was never out of Duke Ernest's mind that he ought to be the next king of England should no male children sur vive his brother, William ". The duke, rising, said: Call in the suit. am proposing toast. The kings health; God save the king The suit came in and drank it. Then the duke said, May I also, sir, propose the next toastT Name it, your grace replied the king. The kings heir,' proudly said the duke, and God bless himv
 "A dead silence followed. Then the king, collecting all his energies and wits, stood up and called out, The kings heir; God bless her! Then, throwing the glass over his shoulder, he turned to his brother and exclaimed. My crown came with lass, and my crown will go to lassv Every one noticed that the duke did not drink the toast. He left the room abruptly"

A Martyr to the Fox.

A fox can climb almost as well as a cat and will often be found lying in trees and on the top of ivy covered walls. High walls covered with ivy often surround private residences in hunting districts. One of these do- main walls caused the tragic death of hound in the south of Ireland few years ago. There was belt of trees with thickish undergrowth close up to the wall, and the hounds were running a tired fox hard through this belt. Suddenly the cry ceased; there were the unmistakable growing and worry ing which proclaim a kill. The mas-l ter jumped off his horse and pushed his way through the undergrowth. On getting to the pack, instead of finding dead fox he saw to bis horror one of the best hounds torn to pieces. It was easy to understand what had hap pened. The fox had got over the wall by the help of some ivy, and the hound had tried to jump over after him, but, falling back among the others, had been killed before they realized their ristake.-London Standard.

"A Kind Hearted Waiter.

A surprising experience was that of a lady who received a bit of advice on table etiquette. She is sufficiently free from vanity to tell the story herself. She says:
 1 know that I am not a person of impressive appearance. I am inclined to be short and stout and to dress plainly. Still, had hoped that had an air of acquaintance with polite so- ciety. But now I shall be more mod est than ever in my idea of the impress sion make upon strangers.
 At my first meal at the hotel where I passed last summer I was pleased with the face of my waiter. It was radiant with kindliness and good na- ture. began my dinner with soup and fish. As the waiter set them in front of me he glanced at the persons of fashionable appearance who were ray neighbors at table. His kind heart was suddenly struck with the fear that

THE MARVELLOUS CURES made by them have attracted the attention of thousands of people in all walks of life, and given to the sick and suffer ing new life and hope.
 That the deaf are made to hear. the blind to see, the lame to walk: that the unsightly tumor is made to waste away and the foul cancer cleansed and dried up simply by the applica- ton of these treatments, without drugs, or operations, seems beyond be- lief; but such are the claims made by those who have been treated by them. and you are given the chance to test for yourself whether such things are true.
 THEY WILL PERFORM CURES that will astonish the skeptical, set the serious to thinking, and convince the doubtful that their power is uauues- toned. No matter what the disease how bad. how long standing or how hopeless the case, it may be amenable to cure; and, if curable at all, this wonderfully endowed man will cure and THE AFFLICTED ONES WILL ARISE AND WALK.
