"I tell you," said young Mr. Mor~ timer, proudly, as he saw his wife bear aWay their only son on his way to bed, “you don’t know how I envy you, my dear, the opportunity of being with that youngajster every hour of the day and Watching his little mind unfold likeâ€"like a flower," he concluded ti‘itely, but with undiminâ€" fished earnestness. If matters had (rested there all would have been Well. But after some comment by his wife he continued. “No time!” he observed, with _ a superior smile. "I often hear you say that, my dear, and I suppose you don’t know the curiosity it awakens in my mind. The curiosity," con- tinued Mr. Mortimer, “as to what you manage to do with your time to fill it up. It is a long day from '. seven to seven, surely long enough to have an hour for almost every- thing that might fall within 8. WOâ€" man’s sphere; yet somehow you seem to miss much." Mrs. Mortimer said nothing, but in her mind was born a resolution. The next evening after dinner Mrs. Mortimer approached her husband with a. few sheets of paper. "The diary of a day, my dear,” she said. as she thrust the papers into his hand. This is what he read: "Five o’clock. Baby woke up, and Would not go to sleep again. I took him down to the library so that his father should not be disturbed at such an early hour, and kept him amused until seven. “Seven o’clock. h‘lnnagod _ to get dressed for breakfast, but was un~ able to eat it with my husband ow- ing to the fact. that baby got badly scratched on a pin. which his father gave him to play with, and had to lbe soothed. ‘ "Eight o’clock. Gave baby his 1bath and breakfast. At breakfast he lupset his bowl of porridge over his lcleun dress, and so he had to be un- gdressed, bathed and dressed all over again. 1 "Nine o'clock. Took baby out in ,his goâ€"cart to market and for a little iairing. Ilad planned to make a lit- ;‘tle informal call, but baby grew fret- ful, and I had to bring him home and put, him to sleep. “Eleven o'clock. Baby woke up and tried to swallow .a button. Sent for the doctor, but meantime got the button out of his throat with my finger. “Twelve o'clock. Baby spilt a bot~ tle of ink all over the library table and the rug under it.

Mr. sw‘i A. Cassidy, the Well- known Sportsman, Tells Why He is Grateful to the Great Can- adian Kidney Remedy. Ottawa, Ont., March 21â€"_(Special) â€"â€"Few people in the Capital are as well known and popular as Mr. "Sam" Cassidy, proprietor of the Bijou Hotel, Metcalf Street. As a hunter and fisherman of more than local reputation, be has become known to followers of the rod and gun all over the country, and many of the members of parliament who make an annual sojourn here are counted among his personal friends. .The news, therefore, that he has found a complete cure for a dangerâ€" ous malady will give general satisâ€" faction. Speaking of it he says: “My friends all know that I have been troubled for years with Stone in the Kidneys; that though I con- sulted the best physicians and tried nearly every remedy I could think of, I was unable to get better. “Some time ago a friend told me Dodd’s Kidney Pills would cure me. As a last resort I tried them and they have cured me. I cannot im- agine more severe suffering than one endures who has Stone in the Kidâ€" neys, and I feel the warmest grati~ 'tude towards Dodd’s Kidney Pills." If the disease is of the Kidneys or from the kidneys, Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure it. .____.._+..._.._._ “Toâ€"morrow, Marie, will be your birthday, and I want to give you some appropriate present.

Recom- mended by most eminent physiciansâ€"6.1, l .‘Ll‘h‘S-ZC‘IBIG SEED 'llAIN. Cleaning out seeds for next year's crops will soon be in order. Cleanâ€" ing seed grain should not be more- ly freeing as much as possible from wood seeds, but every effort should be made to retain the heaviest, plumpâ€" est and best developed kernels. Far- mers who raise lots of wheat should not wait with seed wheat cleaning until the greater part of their crop is sold. A better plan is to screen font a larger quantity than is needed and then run that over a second time. adjusting the wind so as to throw over the light kernels that may not have gone over by the first oper- not have been gone over by the first operation, and to use such a screen sieve below as seems to retain only the best sized kernels. Oats should be just as thoroughly cleaned. It is more essential to get the foul seeds out of the feed grains that out of market crops. The reason for this is apparent. When market crops are sold, the Weeds go with". them. Not so with the feed grain. Even when they are ground some small seeds may go through unmolested ou- ly to go back on the land with the manure, where they are given the best chance to grow a vigorous weed. i WE ALL KNOW WHAT IT IS.
