A MISUNDERSTANDING. | In the forni of ia/ "didactic" conversation with a boy who would persist in pronouncing "s" for "sh," ¥h6 weilj&nown writer, M. Tierre Mille, tells in TiUo Temps' & "penectly true" story oir a nameless Governor oJt French Guinea who wanted to teach the lazy natives the virtue of wor&. He came, I says M. iViilie, one day to a puoe, accompanied by an interpreter, and, having gatherea round hmi the natives, he said bo tJie interpreter:—"Explain to tlieni what property means, it is a prodigious thing. ix> is the tiling which gives the white man his superiority over tho black man. The black men are'ppor, they are thin, they are naked, ail because they have no property, iiut n they should work they will become men 01 property. To everyone his due. lelJj them thai.; to everyone his due (cnaoum soni sien); and add that it is my wish, the wish of the great white chief, that everyone should have his own." Thereupon the interpreter made a long speech to the assembly, explaining in detail the Governor's wish. ■After this the Governor went away, crossed many rivers, ascended many mountains, and then came back the same w<vy six months later. "Naturally all \e niggers camo out to meet him and do him honor. And ' all of them carried on their backs a dog, a miserable dog—three hundred', lour hundred dogs, black, white, red, young, old, mangy, lame, who barked, howled, and screamed as if their- existence depended upon it. And the niggers said: —'You see, great chief, we have obeyed you; everyone has his own —chaoun son ohien.' " "What?" cried out Boule, the boy. "You see, the interpreter did not pronounce his words well—just like you —so he made no difference between the word chien (dog) and the word sien (his own). You see now, wretch, what may happen when you pronounce your words hadry."

Doan's Reports Investigated NO REITON OF ILLNESS FOR TWELVE YEARS. We are answering a very important question to-day, viz., "Do the people who say they have been cured by Doan's Backache Kidney Pills stay cured?" A medicine which cures merely for a day or a ween is worthless; it's only a tonic or a purgative. But a medicine which drives the illness away so that it stays away, that medicine does all medicine can do. We have been verifying our earlier published cases, and we are pleased to say that the result of our investigations has been most gratifying. The cures by Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are permanent cures. Here's proof of this statement : Mrs A. Hammond, 607 Oastle street, Dunedin, says:—"l used Doan's Backache Kidney Pills for an ulcerated kidney, and they proved excellent. Before I obtained these Pills I tried all sorts of remedies in the hope ol getting well, but a dootor informed me that mexlicine could do me no good. However, Doan's backache Kidney Pills proved how far wrong he was, for they cured me, The pain I suffered for years was terrible. People in health cannot understand tne torture of diseased kidneys. Medicine never gave me ease till I got Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, but they soon fixed me up, anctl now feel splendid. These Pills have steadied my nerves, built up my system, and given me an appetite." Mrs Hammond confirms the above: —"I am pleased to* state now, after a lapse of twelve years, that my cure lias lasted. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills worked wonders in my case; they cured me of serious kidney disorder, and I have had no trouble with these organs since.'' | The kidneys are the most important i organs of the body; they filter tlie J blood; then when you don't feel us well as you ought, give your kidneys help by taking the great kidney and , bladder remedy—Doan's Backache | Kidney Pills. They are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 8s per bottle (six bottles l(ss6d), or will be posted on receipt of price by Foster, M'Olellan Co., 76 Pitt street, Sydney. But, be sure you get DOAJSTS.
