Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium. Columbus. Ohio. The Highlanders' Instinct. It is curious to observe how deeply rooted some national characteristics are. Lord Lovat's speech at the ban quet to the Lovat Scouts, which wp report elsewhere, disclosed the fact that the Highlanders' talent for cattle^ lifting, -which had free play during several centuries of border warfare before Chatham invented Highland regiments, is still strong in their de scendants. "But now," said Lovat, "instead of going to the Lowlands for their cattle, they went to South Africa for them, and he had heard that a gentleman in South Africa had said the Highlanders were the best cattle thieves he had ever met." This seems to bo the point which has most stirred the imagination of Lord Lovat in tho "admirable services," as the king well called them in his telegram to the gathering of the Highland regiments.

"Might I inquire which of the two is going to afford us tho delirious delight of her prescucc-Clarissa the saturnine, or Amelia the magpie imi tator?" "Len!" The delicately traced eye brows were raised in indignant expos tulation. "I think that it is particu larly unkind of you to speak In that manner of my relations. You used to say that Aunt Amelia was a shrewd business woman." "I would be the last to deny ber that qualification. Celia," remarked Van court, grimly. "It was positively a stroke of genius the way the old rep tile-ahem-lady palmed oft on to me that property in Southwark. Fifben houses, my dear, with only rudiment ary drainage and a hungry County Council waiting on me to render the same effective. Aunt Amelia ought to have been a company promoter. Egad! she would have made her fortune at thc game, my respected nuut-in-law, has it iu ber bones. Where is the Daily Express?" Celia's lip commenced to quiver. "I think that 3*ou are horrid. Len," she vouchsafed at length, glancing re proachfully at ber husband, who sud denly became immersed in the money market column of the paper which he bad discovered under the table. "I must say that I think you are particularly unkind to speak of my relations In the way you always do! You should not forget, dear, that Aunt Clarissa has been more than a mother to me, and brought mo up since I was a tiny tot; the first time you ever met me. Len, was at her house." "I know," replied Vancourt casually. "But If it hadn't been for Gus Har rington taking me to Rutland Gate-1 should never have seen either of you. I remember the evening well. I took an instinctive dislike to your respected, more than a mother of an aunt! A feeling incidentally which has intensi fied ever since." "You used to say that you were very fond of her-before we were married, Len." Vancourt coughed dryly. "I was diplomatic, Celia," he said quietly, as, laying aside his paper, he buttered a piece of toast. "You see, as I could only see you In her house, I was obliged, in a sort of-a way, to hold the candle to the-your aunt." "She was very fond of you, Len." Celia Vancourt's eyes were bent re proachfully on bis. "Ahem! That was very kind of her, dear. You see, Celia, I had shekels; In London society I was considered rather a decent match at the time I married you." His accent was irritatingly sar donic. "Do you mean to insinuate that Aunt Clarissa liked you because you were well off and had a house iu Park Lane?" demanded Celia, her face flush ing an angry pink. "Aunt Amelia did. anyway," smiled Vancourt unfeelingly. "My spare cash made her Southwark property boom In a manner which brought a smile to ber face! She had me on toast, Celia." She rapped her knife impatiently on the Immaculate damask. "Leonard," she remarked, with dignity, "I would have you remember that you are speaking of my relations." "I have no desire to rob you of their ownership, dear," remarked Vancourt: then added, as he commenced his breakfast in real earnest, "I wish to goodness that you would mauage to see that we got bacon for breakfast that is not salty enough to skin the Inside of one's mouth. I don't believe that the tradesmen would dare to sell such abominable meat to anybody else but 113." Cella's face grew tearful-looking, as she poured herself out a cup of tea; then, glancing across the table at the sombrely annoyed features of her hus band, said, irritably; "I never met such a growling man as you are In my life! The moment anything puts you out you quarrel with your food. Goodness knows, I am fanciful enough, but I don't find this bacon a bit salty." "Of course not! It ls quite sufficient for me to say that it is for you to de clare the contrary," said Vancourt, angrily. "I never met such a contra dictory woman as you are in the whole course of my existence. I am just about sick of it!" "And I am tired to death of you and your grumbling," retorted Celia, flush ing with anger. "Everything that I do ls wrong. I can't make out what on earth made you marry nie!" "Because I was a victim of the throes of driveling lunacy, that's why," said Vancourt savagely. "I wish now that I bad never set eyes on you. Why, ever since my marriage I have never known what it is to have a decent breakfast. If I don't get a high egg I get salt bacon which a sailor would kick at, and if I get neither of those two things I have a piece of fish which would disgrace an East End cook-shop put iu front of me."

"I won't have thc-old cat in the house so there! I'm master here, kindly re member." "And I nm mistress!" retorted Celia. "So Aunt Clarissa shall come and-" "What?" "And when she does I-I-shall tell her that-how unkind you are-and mid ask her to take me away," con tinued Colin in a faltering voice, un heeding his interruption. "I-I never -want to see you again-I hate you!" "Oh, very well, then." Vnncourt rose witli as much dignity ns he could as sume. "As such is the case, and since I am not .allowed to be mnster of my own house, we had better separate amicably. I, for one, shill be very pleased to be freed from a nagging woman!" "And I. from a-brute!" "That is a question of opinion," re marked Vanconrt easily. "I have been asked by Carstairs to go for a cruise, and as his yacht leaves Southampton tho day after to-morrow I may as well go with him until I have decided what I will do. Of course, I shall leave you the house-I will clear out." He crossed the room to the door, adding, as he opened it, "There will be enough money paid Into your account to sat isfy your requirements." Then, with out awaiting a reply, he closed thc door behind him. Celia gazing half dis consolately, half defiantly, at thc va cant chair on the other side of thc table. Vanconrt had not been gone long be fore he returned, dressed in faultless style, a Raglan over his arm and a bowler in his hand. "Well, I'll say goodby." he said light ly, extending his hand to his wife. "I've told Job to pack up my duds and to bring them to me at the Carlton. I shall be stopping there till to-morr?w morning, when I shall leave for'S?uflP ampton." ..? . M "I see." "We shall be cruising about the Mediterranean for about' two months," he continued, eyeing his wife covertly as he spoke. "After which I may go to South Africa for a few months to do some big game shooting." "You will enjoy yourself, I hope," said Colin, placing her slim hand in his. "Of course, if we ever meet In society we need not be dead cuts, need we, Leonard?" Her doon blue eyes were raised al most wistfully to his. "Of course not," ho said, with a strained laugh, as, pressing her cold hand to his, he went toward the door. Addio, little woman; It ls a pity that we should go our several ways, don't you think so?" "Yes, lt ls! Goodby." Her voice faded away Into a whisper, adding quaveringly to herself as the door closed behind her husband, "he might have kissed me before he went. I don't think that-he minded leaving me, and l-l-oh, I don't care!" she cried .angrily, dashing away the tears which had gathered on her lashes. *'If he had tried to kiss me, I'd have slapped his face for him! I hate Leonard, and now that I am free 1 shall be as happy as-" Tho harsh clang of the hall door below caused her to stop abruptly. For a moment Celia stood silent, then, sinking onto a sofa, she buried her Huffy head amid a bevy of cushions, and cried as if her heart would break. "He's gone!" she muttered lu n strangled voice, broken by sobs. "And -I made-sure that he would come back." Meanwhile, outside in tho street, Leonard Vnncourt hailed a hansom, and, stepping into lt, was soon bowling in the direction of the Carlton. "I am afraid that I have made a fool of my self," ho soliloquized.

"Hullo, girlie!" he exclaimed, with n weak attempt at hila l ily. "I haven't gone after all, you see." "Are you sorry, Len, that such ls not thc case?" she queried gently, nestling her tear-stained cheek against bia. "Would you mind, dearest-I mean Celia-if I said that I was glad?" hr asked, slowly.

The most important feature of the recent commercial history of St John is its claim to tlie title of being I he "winter port, of Canada." Its ambition to secure this name is not of recent origin. It has been hoping and plan ning for it for half a century. Some forty years ago, or nearly ten years before the British provinces were united to form the present dollin lon, and before eil her of thc great rail roads, tho Intercolonial or thc Cana dian Pacific, liad been constructed to bring the widely separated provinces into communication with each other, the prediction was made concerning the future of thc city: "Looking at its position with regard to Lower Canada, St. John must yet become the winter port of the country. If its people will work for it, in a few years It will bc certain to rise to a position where ir will bc known as tho Liverpool of America." The first prediction of this prophet was a long time In coming true, but St. John did finally become a winter port. There is no way of lelling whether it will ever be "the Liverpool of America," or, if lt is really going to put the other Atlantic ports out of business, just how many more years they will be permitted to flourish. It is probably a question that '.bc present generation will not have to bother itself about. For a great many years St. John's claim to importance was not taken very seriously by any one but her own citizens, but they were certain that its location was such as to eventually make it a great ocean pori. The con federation of he provinces took place. Then the Intercolonial Railroad was built. After that came the construc tion of the great transcontinental en terprise, the Canadian Pacific Railway, and it selected St. John a' its Atlantic terminus. Then the prophets said, "I told you so," and hogan to hustle. The problem how to get Canadian trade through Canadian channels had nt last been solved. There was no longer any necessity for sending the business in n round-about way when the ice had the St. Lawrence River blocked so the ships could not get up to Quebec and Montreal for their cargoes. The harbor of St. John has never been frozen within tho recollection of tho oldest inhabitant, say the people of that city, which ls not true of any other harbor south of Hatteras. When the season of navigation closes on the St. Lawrence tho freight ls hauled on to St. John before lt is taken off the cars.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat. In Dar it ont .If rici.

Yet that is the fact, and In this range is to be found the great Mount Ruwenzori, rising probably 20, 000 feet lu the air, its summit always enveloped in clouds, and covered with snow and ice.

An extraordinary story of an ele phant employed in a timber yard is told in Animal Life. A number of loss had to be moved by bim, and only one remained when the bell rang for ceas ing work. Of course the elephant knew the bell and what it meant, and was sauntering away, when the fore man bade him move the last log. He did not object, but, with all his tug ging and straining, did not manage to iift it. Seeing this, the foreman called up ?a second elephaut to help, but even the two together did no good-tho log could not be stirred. It must be left. Next dny, to the foreman's astonish ment, when thc bell rang for beginning vvork the first elephant marched straight up to the log, lifted it quite e.-tsily, and carried it to its proper place. 1 USE TAYLOR'S Sj Pay of Army Officers.

I had a number of skin tumourT^-^mair ones - on my arms which had never given me serious trouble ; but about two years ago one came on my throat. At first it was only about a3 large as a pinhead, but, as it was in a position where my collar, if not just right, would irritate it, it soon became very sensitive and began to grow rapidly. Last spring it was as large, if not larger, than a bean. A little unusual irritation of my collar started it to swelling, and in a day or two it was as large as half an orange. I was very much alarmed, and was at a loss to de termine whether it was a carbuncle or a malignant tumor. " My friends tried to persuade mo to consult my physician ; but dread ing that he would insist on using the knife, I would not consent to go. Instead I got a small bottle of Cuticura Resolvent and a box of C.i ticura Ointment. I took the former according to directions, and spread a thick laver of the Ointment on a linen cloth and placed it on the swelling. On renewing it I would bathe my neck in verv warm water and Cuticura Soap, in a few days thc Cuticura Ointment had drawn thc swelling to a head, when it broke. Every morning it was opened with a large sterilized needle, squeezed and bathed, and fresh Ointment put on. Pus and blood, and a yellow, cheesy, tumorous matter came out. In about three or four weeks' time this treatment completely eliminated boil and tumor The soreness that had ex tended down into my cheat was all gone, and my neck now seems to bo perfectly well. " About five orsix years ago__my "s?sTe'r"T???' ?'simirar'Vxpenence. She bad two large lumps come under her right arm, the result of a sprain. They grew rapidly, and our physi cian wanted to cwt them out. I would not listen to it, and che tried the Cuticura Remedies (as I did a few months ago) with magical effect In six weeks' time the lumps had entirely disappcared,and have never returned. " I have great faith in the Cuticura Remedies, and I believe they might bc as efficacious in similar cases with other people, and thus save much suffering, and perhaps life. I have derived 60 much benefit from tho use of them myself that I am constantly advising others to use them. Re cently I recommended them to an office boy for his father, who was dis abled with salt rheum. The man's feet were swollen to an enormous size, and he bad not worked for six weeks. Two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment worked a perfect cure. You never saw a more grateful man in your life. VI am very much in terested in another caso whero I have recom mended Cuticura just now. My housemaid's mother has a goitro which had reached a very dangerous point. Thc doctors told her that nothing could be done ; that she could live only two or three weeks, and that she would die of strangulation. She wa3 confined to her bed, and was unable to p. .k, when her daughter, at my suggestion, tried thc effect of the Cutsicura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent. Strange to say, she was very shortly relieved cf the most distressing symptoms. The swelling seemed to bc exteriorized, and she is now able to be around her house, and can talk as well as ever. " It seems to mc that I have pretty good grounds for believing that Cuticura Remedies will prove suc cessful in the most distressing forms of blood and skin humours, and if you wish to use my testimonial as herein indicated, I am willing that you should do 60, with the further privilege of re vealing my name and address to such persons as may wish to substantiate thc above state ments by personal letter to me."
