She needs the youthfulness of highly vitalized blood.Dr.Pierce\u2019s Golden Medical Discovery will give it to her.It will help any woman to get back her youth andj freshness again.\t!

but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me and I say to this mar, go, and he goeth ; and to another, cotrre, and he cornelh ; and to my servant, do this, and he doeth ir.When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed : Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, to, not in Israel.He began by explaining that he did not wish to draw attention so much to the tact that Christ marvelled, as to the Centurion\u2019s uni cent sense of duty which He termed his faith It was this obligation of duty which as apart of the Roman soldier\u2019s composition formed the esprit de corps of that greatest army those limes.The small details of drill and the niceties of military etiquette, the fact that a man\u2019s helmet was brightly burnished that he was well girded with his belt, that his shield was free from rust, or that he was weH shod were matters of no moment com pared to that sense of duty which made his army what it was, and which is indispensable to the army of the greatest Empire the world has ever seen.Our Empire ha* during Her Majesty\u2019s reign engaged in several wars, the most of which were in defence of its rights, while others were to protect weaker nations from injury and wrong.These are always permissible.There ie, however, another sense of duty besides that of the soldier.\u201cWar, pestilence and famine\u201d\u2014these are the world\u2019s three greatest destroyers, and we must husband our resources and employ our means against the two latter as well as against the former.Very recently they invaded the Empire hand in hand, leaving death in their track, and we know what a generous response came from all over it when the appeal was made for aid in fighting the fell destroyers.Canada was in no way behind hand in her contribution, but came forward with handsome aid for the sufferers.Next month we will hold a Jubilee to commemorate the fact that our beloved Queen has not only attained to the longest reign in British hi»tory, but has also passed beyond the term of life allotted to most men and women.From end to end of the British dominions there will be festivities to celebrate the event, showing that the heart of the Empire beats with oue great simultaneous throb in sympathy w ith, and in reverence for, the Throne, and for her who so worthily occupies it.All over the world permanent monuments will be raised in commemoration of Jubilee year, and all who wish to honor it may fittingly do so by aiding iu having justice and right sustained throughout the Empire.In no way may this better be done than by a proper observance of our Christian duties.Lord Salisbury some time ago said that organized government was steadily losing and public opinion gaining ground, ibis being the case, public opiuiou has to be properly led iu order to secure good Government.In this task of shaping public opinion all present can share.The preacher closed by urging his hearers to be loyal to their God, their duty and their country.The service concluded with a verse of the National Anthem.-AT- Z.PAQUET\u2019S.Parasols and Umbrellas, All styles from the ordinary Jmbrella to the most elaborate !

cheers.Mr.Flynn then alluded to the conversion of the debt, which had already been commenced, and again asked the enthusiastic meeting if they were in favor of a sound and honest dministration of the public funds by men ho put country above party, as well as in government independent of Ottawa and i favor of union, peace and harmony among the people of this Province.Ho then took np Hon.Mr.Marchand\u2019* peech at the same place the other evening, and showed how lacking it was in everything tending to a statesmanlike and progressive policy.CAMPAIGN FALSEHOODS.The accusations against Mr.Chasse met with so prompt a denial in the judicial declarations on the subject made by the accused party and supported by two cr three witnesses, as we have already seen, that it might well bj supposed that no further notice need be taken of the matter, But Mr.Chasse is not one to allow his good name and fair fame to be thus at tacked with impunity, and while he will not desert his comity until the end of the electoral campaign, it is understood that just so soon as this is over, he will bring the whole matter before the Courts.Alj the official docum »nts in the case have been also given to the public.Amongst them is an Order-in-Council approved on the 11th March last, setting forth that in reference to Mr.F.B.Atkinson\u2019s claim of 82,705.28 for work upon the approach to the Garneau bridge, the Commissioner of Àiblic Works recommended the payment of only 81,017.90, being the amount ad-nitted by the reports of Mr.Vallee, En gineer, and of Mr.Charest, Architect of the Department.This reduction of his claim was perhaps not very pleasing to Mr.Atkinson.At all events he got exactly what the officials of the Department accorded him and there is also a certificate from the Provincial Auditor, Mr.A.H.Verret, that the amount of the said 81,017.90 was every cent of it paid on the orders given by Mr.Atkinson himself.So much then for the charges in the Chasse-Atkinson affair.An equally glaring falsehood has been placed in circulation in regard to the Baie des Chaleurs Railway.It is correctly an nounced that work on the Baie des Cha leurs Railway will be at once begun on the completion of the lino from its present terminus at Cap Lin to Gaspe, and that the Quebec Government has guaranteed the interest on some 83,000,000 of bonds which have been floated in London to cirry on the operations.But a number of Liberal newspapers, both in this city and in Montreal, originated the rumor that this desirable scheme had been checked by the action of the Ad ministrator of the Province, the Hon Sir Alexander Lacoste, in rtfusing sign the Order-in-Council to that effect, This falsehood has no doubt been circu lated for the purpose of influencing the pending election in Gaspe.As a matter of fact, however, the Order-in-Council au thorizing the guarantee of interest was ap proved by His Honor the Administrator on the 27th April last.The above are just a couple of sample stories of the kind being now peddled about by the Opposi tion press and stump orators for campaign purposes.Gold Minim Stocks.Trail Creek District, BRITISH COLUMBIA.For lowest
