What Mexico Boasts of.

In our country we have the following, says El Correo de Sonoro: Th* highest mountain in North America, Popocatapetl; the deepest mine in the world,-Valenciana; the richest vein in the world, and the one which has yielded the most silver, that of the mountain of Guanajuato; the most extensive and wonderful caves, those of Cacahuamllpa and Villa Garcia; the oldest city in the Americas, formerly Tollan, now Tola; the oldest Commercial house in America, the book store of Abadano, founded 21 years ago; the city in which printing was first established in the new world, Mexico, in 1533; the sanctuary most venerated in which only may be compared that of Lourdes in France; the people, (whose tongue, like that of the Basques, cannot be classified among any of the continent, the Seri; the capital, with a higher altitude than the other cities of its country, Mexico; the biggest known tree, the "Santa Maria del Tule” in Oaxaca; the most recently created volcano, Jorullo; finally, the ruler now in power who has done most to preserve peace in all the countries of America freed from Spanish rule.

An "M. D’s” Open Letter.

Benton, 111., May 20—R. H. Dunaway, M. D., of this place, in an open letter, makes the following startling statement: “I had Diabetes with all its worst symptoms. I applied every remedy known s to the profession, as well as every prescription suggested in our booktj, In spite of all, I was dying, and I knew it. "As a last resort, and with scarcely any faith whatever, I commenced taking Dodd’s Kidney Pills. In one week I saw a great improvement. After 1 had taken five boxes, I was sound and well. This is ten months ago, and I have not taken any medicine of any kind since, and am convinced that my cure is a permanent one. "As a practicing physician with years of experience, I most positively assert that Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the best medicine in the world today, for Diabetes or any other Kidney Disease. Since using them myself, I have used them in many cases in my practice, and they have never failed. "I am making this statement as a professional man, after having made a most thorough test of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and 'because 1 feel it my duty to the public and to my professional brethren. The truth can never hurt anyone, and what I have said is the absolute truth.” R. H. DUNAWAY, M. D. It is no wonder that the public are over this new medicine, when our leading physicians themselves, are being won over to its use.

War Bicvcle Exhibited.

One of the special bicycles built for the use of the British troops in South Africa which went through the campaign with Gen. lan Hamilton’s column was recently exhibited in London, where its excellent condition, considering the knocking about it had received, excited general comment. England seems busy with the organization of cyclist soldiers, and many companies of wheelmen will figure in the Easter maneuvers. *

A PREACHER’S LABOR OF LOVE

The pastorate of the Rev. Edward Schnadhorst, of the Roman Road Congregational Church, North Bow, London, is without any question of doubt the most unique and remarkable on record. A few days ago general attention was attached to Mr. Schnadhorst’s work by his celebration, with appropriate ceremonies, •of his fortythird anniversary as pastor of the Roman Road Church. Apart from the uncommonly long time which Mr. Schnadhordt has presided over his parish, the most extraordinary feature in connection with his work is the fact that, from the Inception until the present moment, this work has been fathfully rendered without a stipend. Not one cent of compensation for nearly half a century of trying and untiring labor has Mr. Schnadhorst ever received or requested from his congregation. Here is Mr. Schnadhors’ own story. "About forty-three years ago,” he said, "I was attending the ministry of the late Rev. John Davies, of :AJbany Chapel, which is now perpetrated in Tolmer’s Square Congregational Church, Hempstead Road. When Mr. Davies removed to Walthamstow some of the younger members of the congregation desired me to succeed him, but I would not hear it, as I did not feel equal to the task, and you cannot judge how glad I am now that I did not yield to the request. "I had determined to devote my life to the uplifting of the poor in the east

REV. EDWARD SCHNADHORST.

end of London, and with this object In view I took a little hall in the old Ford road and gathered a congregation. It was slow work at first, I assure you, but the work gradually increased, and a parish, that is a fellowship or society of professed believers, was formed upon the congregational mode, and a church building was erected in the Roman road. A commodious structure, where social and religious work of one kind or another is conducted pretty well every night in the week. I commenced the work on the second Sunday in April 1858, and have just duly celebrated my forty-third anniversary. As my parishioners were by no means wealthy, although in the early days fairly well-to-do, and having means of my own, 1 have always refused a salary, willingly giving my poor labors to the Lord, who has been so good to me in many ways.

“My wife and myself do all the social, philanthropic and pastoral work of the parish, with the occasional assistance of a mission woman, who 1 engage at my own expense to visit for me while I am in attendance on the school board. “i have just been elected to this board for the fourth time, and the records show that I have never missed a meeting. I don’t think I should have made such a success of my work if It had not been for the loving assistance of my wife. Mrs. Schnadhorst is really Indefatigable, morning, noon and night, she works on behalf of the poor, anD like myself she has never received or asked a penny of reward from this parish. "Apart from not asking or expecting any salary, I never make any individual appeal for funds for parish distribution, but trust In the Lord to provide. Only once did I ever appeal, and that was through, the columns of a large London newspaper. About twelve years ago there was great distress. I wrote an appeal at the end of July and kept it in my pocket until November, disliking to Issue it; but at length I could resist no longer, and for six weeks I continued to have money sent me for the poor as the result. And if anyone now feels he has faith in our work here and chooses to send it, we will gladly distribute it to the deserving poor. I lay stress on that word ‘deserving.’ In all our social wort wo try to footer thrift; wo.

try to help the people who help themselves. We have a savings bank every Monday, and our people deposit their pence and we give them interest Again, it is no use to give a man half a crown when next day he will want another half crown; the point is to learn the person’s circumstances and help him to tide over the evil day until he can help himself. Thus I spent £l6 once in setting a poor widow in a little business, and now she is flourishing. I knew she would do well if she could be started. "Besides our bank various other agencies common to a Congregational Church are all in operation in my parish. I attempt to keep up to date in everything in connection with church work. "As I have stated to you, when I took charge of this, my first and the only pastorate, some forty odd years ago, the majority of the people of my neighborhood were pretty well-to-do, but the east end of London has become much overcrowded andthe population had gradually gone down and down. Now I am met with poverty on every hand and have now, if I desired it, by no means as good a chance of obtaining a stipend for my work as in the early days. “Such conditions as I am obliged to meet every day are very trying to those who love to help the deserving poor. I might say that the South African war has very much deepened our difficulties, but I live in hopes of bet-

ter days to come before the end of my life, which I have given to my neighborhood. My existence is a very quiet one and I am not well known even in London outside of my parish. We have had but one distinguished member in our family, my younger brother, Frank Schnadhorst, the late secretary of the National Liberal Federation, who some ten years ago was presented with a check for SIO,OOO guineas in testimony of his rare ability as a political organizer of the Liberal party in England. His name, I believe, Is not altogether unknown in America. “In conclusion I might say that I am frank to acknowledge that except for the love and tenderness shown me by my congregation, which I value higher than any salary I might have received, I could not have continued as long as I have.” About one-sixteenth of the paper output of the world is converted into books.

NEW TEN-SEATED BICYCLE.

There seems to be no limit to the production of wonderful wheeling machines. One of the most' ingenious novelties in this line is the monster ten-seated bicycle recently invented in this country. This is intended specially for pacing and racing purposes. It is constructed of the best steel, in order to insure absolute safety, and is geared for the highest speed possible. One thousand dollars is the cost of this marvelous flyer. Some idea of the enormous rate at which this ma-

Suicide Rooms in Asylums.

In seme of the asylums for the insane there are certain apartments known as "suicide rooms." These are set aside as harbors of refuge for those patients who manifest a strong desire to end their lives. Everything in these rooms is round. There are no knobs or posts to the beds, for the maniac would tie a sheet around any sucn protection and hang himself. For the same reason there are no gas fixtures and no inside shutters. There are not even door knobs, while the doors themselves are made to open outward. When the men undress their clothes are carefully removed from the room, so. that they may not be used for strangling their owners. All the edges of bureaus, the backs of chairs, etc., are carefully rounded, so that there may be no points upon which the inmates might beat their heads. No canes or sticks are allowed in the rooms. The doors are left open at night, and a keeper parades incessantly up and down before them. A measure which has attracted widespread attention was introduced in the Ohio legislature Wednesday. It provides a very good solution for that Irritating social problem, "What to do with a man who won’t support his family.” Wife deserters and fathers who abandon their children to the tender mercies of charity are to occupy a new relation to the victims of their heartlessness if the proposed measure becomes a law. Instead of being useless members of society while confined in the penitentiary they are to contribute to the support of those depending upon them with the proceeds of their labors during Imprisonment. Every man arrested on the charges referred to will be placed at some kind of work during his incarceration, providing he has not learned a trade, and a certified sum, the result of his enforced work, will be paid at stated Intervals to his wife or family. The passage' of the bill will be advocated by some of the most prominent philanthropic organizations in Ohio. The bill is without a parallel in the history of legislation against desertion and abandonment in this country. In one or two European countries a similar law is in force, but no attempt ever has been made before in the United States to provide relief for the victims of this form of crime while punishment is being inflicted upon the guilty husbands and fathers.

Girls’ Club in France.

French mothers have been rather horrified to hear that the first French girls’ club ever known has just been started in Paris. The institution is under the patronage of Mme. Marguerite Durand, the editress of the paper which is entirely written, set up, printed and managed generally by women, "La Fronde,” and that energetic lady is quite determined upon making the club a success, in the face of cavaliers and scoffers. For some unknown reason the mere idea of an “Association des Etudiantes” is considered intensely funny on the boulevards. In other conservative quarters’ it arounses virtuous indignation. The ladies who started the club had an extraordinary experience when they began house-hunting. Not a landlord would harbor such a subversive institution as a Girl Students’ club. One appeared more venturesome than the rest at first, but when it came to signing the lease his courage failed him and he backed out. Hjemises have now been rented in a building belonging to a scientific society, which holds Its meetings in another part of the house, and situated In the Rue Danton, a stone’s throw from the School of Medicine.—Chicago Journal.

Plan a Holiday Far Ahead.

The one hundredth anniversary of the founding of Cassel, Germany, will be celebrated in 1913, and the residents of the ancient city are already beginning to plan a fitting holiday time tn honor of the occasion. The population of Honduras, not including savage Indians, is now estimated at 587,500.

from a recent test race between it and the Empire State express. For a stretch of many miles the long row of bicyclists on the machine kept side by side with the express. A series of international trial races between a number of foreign-built machines of similar type and the American one will be one of the features seen during the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo. These races will be held in the arena track of ths great stadium, where all the sporting exhibitions will take place. For this

event it is said a special and somewhat improved model is being constructed which is expected to be a triumph la bicycle mechanism, and which will doubtless outlast all European competitors in speed and apyearewpa.

WHAT WE HEAR FROM ASSINIBOIA. WESTERN CANADA.

“Do»'t Think of Coming, but Como,** To the Editor: The above is the emphatic manner in which a friend in Yorkton writes to a friend near St Paul, Minnesota, and it is pretty nearly right, too, with the advantages that Western Canada offers to those seeking homes. The Assiniboia district is one of the best The writer from whose letter we quote goes on to say: “John, if you miss this chance you are foolish, for you can get out cheaper when there are so many coming, and I would not tell you to come if I thought you could not do well, and if you don’t come in the spring you will have to go away back, for you do not want to think that there is no one living out here but us. I saw nicer buildings out here than I ever saw before, and if the country was no good what would they want them for? John, if you sold everything you have and came out here you would be worth more than ever you were before, and if you can bring your team. You can get anything you want on tick, and when they do that with strangers they are not afraid they can’t make enough to pay for It I saw as nice wheat as I ever saw in my life, and if they could not grow grain what would the flour mill be for, and it cost $20,000.” Now this was what Mr. Thomas Fitzpatrick, of Yorkton, Assiniboia, Western Canada, wrote to a friend. There wilj be opened up this summer new districts in Saskatchewan and Assiniboia at low prices, particulars of which can be had of any agent of the government of the Dominion of Canada, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in the columns of your paper. Yours truly, An Old Reader.

sician. She cannot bring herself to tell everything, and the physician is at a constant disadvantage. This is why, for the past twenty-five years, thousands of women have been confiding their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham, and whose advice has brought happiness and health to countless women in the United States. Mrs. Chappell, of Grant Park, HL, whose portrait we publish,, advises all suffering women to seek Mrs. Pinkham’s advice and use Lydia E.
