He puts on his hat in salutation when we take it off.

He feels it unmannerly to look a superior in the face, and 'a' es off his spectacles in his presence.

He deems it polite to ask a casual caller's age and income.

His long nails are nut a sign of dirtiness, but r specability.

His left-hand is the place of honour.

He does not consider it clumsy, but court enus, to tak uth banks to aller a cup of tea.

Ife its walk his heel instead on his toes in the stirrups.

His visiting oud is eight and sometimes thirty inches long.

He keeps not stop in walking with others. ---te carries a pig instead of driv`ng búm,

He often throws away the fruit of the melon and eats the seeds.

He Iughs (to deceive evil spirits) on receiv- ing bad news, and bis daughters loudly lament

on the eve of their weddings.

His favourite present to a parent is a coffin, His merits aften bring a title, not to himself, but to his ancestors-Chicago News.

SAVED BY HIS BIBLE.

WELSHMAN'S STRANGE STORY.

An extraordinary story is that of Mr. David ---Jones, a Welsh linplate worker. Mr. Jones has lived for a quarter of a century at Moniston, South Wales, where his present address is 38a Bush-rond, Old Bridge H's life was without incident, but one day he suddenly commenced to shudder, and the next moment fell down "unconscious. He was taken home, and found to be completely paralysed. For weeks he lay in bed unable to speak or move and for fifteen years he suffered without hope. His savings became gradually exhausted, until at last he had no money to buy medicine.

As a last resource, acting on the suggestion of a friend who brought him a ray of hope by telling him of his own cure by Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale penole, he actually sold his most chrished possession-his Tible, and bought some boxes of these pills.

It was with the grave et misuīvinam vodkyt 2 most profound regret that I parted with the Book," he said, "and gave up the joy of turn- Ing its loved pages. Happily its contents are stored in my mind, or 1 could not have borne the loss even for the hope of health, happily in "the end fulfilled.

"I felt great benefit soon after I commenced to take the pilis, and before 1 had finished the first box I was able to take my meals more regularly and enjoy them. My strength grad ually came back to me for the first time in fifteen years. After taking four boxes I was so well that I was able to get about, and am now so well that I am able to work."

Few more striking and pathetic stories are on record. Paralysis is one of the most fre quent causes of total disability, and its dangers constantly threaten all active work rs Broken- down nerves, a weak back, loss of balance, and any sort of numbress in the members are early symptoms. Remember the awful disease which they threaten Dr. Williams' Pink pills are not merely a cure, but they can prevent the onset of disease. They should be taken in time. When they can care the most hopeless cases and this is abundantly proved-it is no wonder that minor ailments of life yield so much more readily to them than to any other medicine ever discovered. Nervous and spinal weakness, neuralgia, headaches, and backaches, St. Vitus' Dance, are allied to paralysis, Dr. Williams' pink pills are noted for their good effects on Women. They are the greatest and mafest general tonic medicine ever discovered. [9560 21]
