I find by actual mathematical calculation that you are just thirteen and four sevenths times as crooked as a calf’s hind leg. Good day!” The deal was off. II There is a diminutive fox ter rier with snappy brown eyes, a short tail and a pair of nicely trimmed ears at the home of Miss Annie Stein, seventeen vears old, that is the object of much consid eration, sayB the New York Her aid. Miss Stein has one arm bound up in a sling, but with the other she pets the terrier. For the lit tle dog saved her life. There is a bull on the Stein farm—big, cross and always look ing for trouble. Seeing Miss Stein walking through a field. wearing a red coat, the bull came charging down upon her. -He caught the girl on his horns and tossed her high in the air. i lie terrier was trotl ing quietly along with his' mistress when the bull charged. He leaped at the bull and his teeth closed tight over the animal’s right ear. Ev erv ounce of terrior strength and persistency was in that grip, and the bull became so disconcerted that he forgot the prostrate girl and tried to break the dog’s hold. Meanwhile Miss Stein managed to scale a fence* When she xx r as safe terrier let go and cleared the fence after her. The sea took less toll of hu man lives last year, it seems than for a similar period during twenty years. The figures of the British Chamber of Com merce show that during 1903 the total number of lives lost at sea was 624 , of whom 599 were sailors and 25 passengers. This isindeed. remarkable, when it is reflected that the transient mg population of the ocean is Literally of millions during the run a veat. That so few lives of passengers were lost is a tribute to the better construction of ships and efficient inspection to which ocean passenger vessels are subjected.

RECTOR OF ST. LUKE’S. Ashburnham, Ontario, Testifies To The Good Qualities of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Ashburnham, Out., April 18, 1903.—I think it is only right to tell you what wonderful effect Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has produced. The day before Easter I was so distressed xvith a cold and cough that I did not think to be able to take any duties the next day, as my voice was almost chok ed by^the cough. The same day I received an order from you for a bottle of your Couge Remedy, 1 at once procured a sample bottle, and took about three doses of the medicine, To my great relief the cough and cold had completely disappeared and I was able to preach three times on Easter Day. 1 knew that this rapid and effec tive cure was due to your Cough Remedy. I make this testimo n ial without solicitation, being thankful to have found such a Godsent remedy. Respectfnlly Langfeldt, yours, M. A., E. A. Rector of St. Luke’s Church, To Chamberlain Medicine Co. This remedy is for sale by Wight & Browne.
