I was continually having | such frightful headaches that I sim- had to give up and lle down. I sbvere pains in my back, espe- cially whenever I went td stoop over, I hardly knew how to get through the day and my sleep was so broken tliat I would rise in the mornings feeling tired and heavy. "It was a friends of mine who ad- vised me to try Tanlac, and as she herself had tried it 'with excellent results, 1 decided to take her advice and T= very thankful 1 did. In a very.short time I knew the medicine was doing me good for my appetite . Picked up wonderfully and 1 felt 80 much better and stronger. By the time I had got through the segond Dottie all 'my aches and pains had disappeared and I have been well ever since. I can sleep fine, eat well and am so much stronger that * * , I can do all my housework with per- fect ease. It is over a year now since I stopped taking Tanlac, but I am 80 delighted with what it did for me that I take pleasure in recom- mending it." Tanlac is sold in Kingston by A. . P.

Tommy had got up early to try out father's new gun. . "I'm sorry, Dad," said Tommy, "I didn't mean to wake you. I pulled the as easy as I could." ' ou may think Tommy's excuse did- nt amount to very much and it didn't.' ut it was just as goo which had been A and over again, "I didn't know it was loaded." A gun is always loaded even when Jo NOW that ha hat 1 i the Ww who knows that his gu is pot loaded who always kills some one else with it. So 'even though you have taken every shell out of it just the minute before, it is still a thing to be afraid of and to handle carefully, : A good soldier is the most careful person on earth in handling his gun, rom the moment he is enlisted he iy trained that a gun is a dangerous thing and that it is up to him to handle. his #0 that it will not injure his comrades. De not play with a gun, fellow who in fun Foints a gun at another, sven though he knows it is not loaded, is just about as much of a murderer as though he had actually shot him. He knows that it is a dangerous thing to point a gun in this manner yet he goes ahead and wilfully and negli tly does it. He belongs either in iten~ tiary or the insane asylum, Es he won't have a chance to hurt anybody. Make a practice of unloading your gun when you come in from a hunting trip or target practice. In the army every time a company goes out under Arms every man must pull out the bolt af his gun so as to throw out any shelf that might be in jt--he does this even though he knows it is not loaded. Thea when the company comes back to cai each man must i © thro the motions of loans is fin ore the company is dismissed.

Did you ever think that the money which your city spends for teachers' salaries is an investment? You know there are two kinds of public expend- itures; those for current expenses and those for capital investments. An example of the latter the mo- ney paid out for the eréP®tion of a city hall. The city has some property to show for this expenditure. Teachers' salaries,are usually look- ed* upon as current expenses. They should be considered as a capital in- vestment. Money used to pay a tea- cher is money invested in the future citizens of the city--it is money in- vested in the future of the city itself. If you can think of any better place to invest money th in the boys and girls of this city, we wish you would let us know.

Centuries ago the Mohammedan Turks captured Constantinople and gained a strong foothold in Europe. For many years they were a constant menace to the peace of the continent, but for a century before this period their power had gradually been de- clining, and they were no longer feared by other nations. Indeed, it became a question as to what should 'be done with the territory of the Turks in the expected falling to pieces of the nation. Russia was very anxious to extend her dominion to the Mediterranean, but this was Strongly opposed by Great Britain. Turkey, by her position, controlled both the Black Sea and the eastern end of the Mediterranean, and Great Britain knew that if a strong nation like Russia should gain possession of this important position hsr com- merce with India would be seriously affected. In 1853 the Czar proposed to the British ambassador at St. Petersburg a plan for the ending of the Turkish empire in Europe and a division of territory between Great . Britain and Russia. The proposal was declined, but Russia went guiet- ly on with her plans. An opportunity soon offered for, Russia to interfere in affairs of Turkey. The Czar, as head of the Greek church, claimed to be the protector of the Greek Christians living in Turkey, and the refusal of the Sultan to recognize this claim led to war. The Turkish fleet was destroyed. Constantinople Was threatened by the Russians. At this point Great Britain and France interfered, and declared war against Russia. The allies poured troops in- to the Crimea, defeated the Russians at the Alma River and laid siege to Sabastopoo!, the great naval fortress on the Black Sea. Two fierce battles were fought at Balaclava and at Inkerman, in both of which the al- lies were victorious. At Balaclava took place the famous charge of the Light Brigade, one of the most glorious incidents dn the history of the British army.

WHIG ishihent she had been Jockéd in her | bedroom till the next /moraing. Any other time (but this) Helen would have been delighted to be locked in ° her room for the day as her book- case contained many nice books which she so loved to read. "This was not the case today however, as she -was to go on a picnic with some girl friends, and they had all planned to have such a good time. Helen watch- ed with very angry eyes her friends start out on their picnic, and she quickly made up her mind she would not stay in-her home another day, she would run away. She waited un- til her parents had gone to bed, then she collected together the things she most needed, put them in a bag and dropped them from her window to the ground. As she reached the ground herself, the clock in the vil- lage struck the hour of twelve and like most girls she shuddered as she crept along the cold ground at this unearthly hour, : 'As she went along she thought she heard mystérious noises and saw horrible figures moving about in the darkness among the still trees. Slow- ly she made her way towards the gate at the end of the gardem, and when within a few yards of it, she stopped and looked with horror for therg standing pointing a finger at her stood a long white figure clad in a white robe, She was so terrified she could do nothing but stand and look as if she thought she was in a dream. but she was quickly brought to her senses on seeing the "ghost" slowly advancing toward her. She turned and fled back along the path towards the open window, when she. had almost reached it she got up courage enough to turn and see if she was followed, but she saw the ghost slowly turning and going back again. She quickly reached her room locked the window and being too frightened td sleep she sat and wat- ched the garden below to see if any- thing more of the figure in white ' could be seen. In the morning on being let free from her prison as she called it, she made her way to the village to tell her friends of her night's adventure and she pictured their terror when she told them of the ghost in the gar- den. This time she did not gothrough the garden but along the driveway. When she told her friends the news they were just what she expected, terrified. They all proposed to go to the place where the ghost had been seen the night .beforqq When near there, they Sred, alos in the tall grass, all were "afratd. almost to move. At last they were there; slowly they 'peeped above the grass, and what*they saw made them roar with laughter for there, gently swaying backwards and forwards on the clothes-line was a sheet, the dervant having forgotten to take it in the night before. When Helen saw this she felt ashamed to think this was what she had been so terrified about, especially as all her friends were laughing at her, but when she saw what a good home she had and how she was going to leave it, she was very glad the sheet had been hang- ing there for it had sayed her from doing a very fool act.-- (Original) Lillian Moyse. Good and Bad Habits of Crows and : Blackbirds. A crow can speak for himself, and is well known to Canadian children. He is about twenty inches long and black all over. The farmer is well acquainted with his corn pulling ha- bits, and even the scarecrow does not frighten him. He is a vegetarian to the extent of two thirds of his diet and one-half 3f this vegetable mat- ter consists of grain chiefly Indian corn. Sometimes he is guilty of des- troying the eggs and young of small birds. On the other hand he does much good by destroying injurious insects, mice and other rodents and is valuable Occasionally as a scaven- ger. He seems to rejoice in being aw outlaw. He knows no fear and laughs at attempts to entrap him. For many years men have been his sworn ene- my. Yet he holds his own and chat- ters loudly as ever in his harsh scold- ing tones. Blackbirds are closely. related to crows but are much smaller. Both walk while most birds hop. The Broze Grackle or Crow Blackbird breeds as far north as Labrador and winters in the Lower Mississippi Val- ley.
