A gentleman by the name of Cipio, a French Canadian, was foreman of the paper. The writer was young and in-1 experienced, and had not, up to that time,attempted to decipher the chiro- graphy of the sage of Etta Jane. In the course of the night's work he went for copy and upon the copy hook was a small “take” of about six lines, written by Mr. Train. It was written what tllC doctors Call them, in the Scottish dialect peculiar to Mr which 111 COnilllOll b ID’ llsh Train, and was about the worst piece , • , , • . ^ means—loim sickness. of manuscript we had ever come o across up to that time.

Rheumatism ^ * Is Not a SKin Disease* Most people have an idea that rheumatism is contracted like a cold, that the damp, chilly air penetrates the muscles and joints and causes the terrible aciies and pains, or that it is something like a skin disease to lie rubbed away with lini ment or drawn out with plasters; but Rhuematism originates in the blood and is caused by Urea, or Uric Acid, an irritating, corroding poison that settles in mus cles, joints and nerves, producing inflammation and soreness and the sharp, cutting paiuspeculiar to this distressing disease.

It waa adopted for the purpose of supplying the increased demand for insurance at low rates, It affords reliable insurance at a mini mum rate ; it gives what is equivalent to large dividends in ad- 30c vance—what ordinarily requires years to obtain under other plans. It is peculiarly adapted to those who want immediate protection, but are not ready or able to pay for endowment or other plans more expensive.
