In other cases there is merely a feeling of tiredness and a variable appetite. y of are signs that the blood is out of order--that the indoor life of win- r has lessened your vitality. What is needed to put you right is a tonic; and in all the world of medicine there is no tonic can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills actually make' new, rich, r bl your greatest need in the spring. This new blood drives out disease, clears the skin | 5, and makes weak, easily tired men. women and children, bright, active and strong. You can prove this by your neighbors, for there is not a nook or corner in this great land where some weak, ailing man or woman has not been made well and strong by this great medicille. Mr. H. Wilson, Stonewall, Man., says: "Some years ago I was rim down, languid and depressed and felt as though'I was only fitted for life's scrap heap. A friend who had great faith in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills gave me a box. Before they. were all used I felt some better, and thus encouraged, got a further supply, and it was not many weeks until I was again enjoying my for- mer good health. I think Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills « boon to every weak person." F Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail, post paid, at 5 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. og FACT AND FANCY.

Every change of diet seems: to bring this trouble on and baby suffers from headaches, fever, disturbed sleep and often vomiting. No baby who suffers -from constipation can thrive well. Constipated babies are cxoss all the time and give mothers constant worry. The one sure relief for baby constipation is any s Own Tablets--they never to cure this trouble and can be given to the little one with absolute safety. Concerning them Mrs. W. 8S. McKenzie, Prairie Grange, Alts., writes: "I used Baby's Own Tablets for my baby who' was con- stipated from birth and they rapid- ly helped her and left her bowels in a natural condition."' The Tab- lets are sold by medicine dealers or at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. + CHILDREN ON THE STREETS. Bill to Prohibit Trading by Boys and Girls. Lord Shaftesbury has drafted a bill which will prohibit any street trading by boys under 17 years and by girls under 18. The idea uuder- lying the bill is that street trading destroys the potential capacity of children to become geod citizens, turning the boys and girls who en- e mit into hopeless unemploy- --- ables, whose ultimate destiny is the prison' and workhouse. The London County Council, which tried registration of juvenile street traders, has decided that the system of badges has not been a success, and it has just adopted. new by-laws to deal with' the evil. These by-laws will have the effect of taking off the streets 10,000 boys}, ' and 1,000 girls who are at present engaged in street,trading. Among the changes are the following: No boy under 16 to be employed 'to be employed in street trading. Ne boy or girl under 14, liable to In street trading before 6 a.m. or " No~ba nd : Re Rg rae ep SPE ee - E 4) y. et i i} -- Te | carved rock ¢ these | 4 Have you ever seen a great icicle all the harsh edges of which have been melted off in the sun or a frag- ment of ice which has been dipped in hot water for a moment! If so you have seen the effect which the Chinese love to produce on their stals. edges and polishing. In mounting a bit of jade, red tourmaline or amber the Chinese will sometimes put upon the setting or fill in the interstices of the me- tal with a greenish shimmer; end it is dificult to make out at first glance what it is; perhaps a metal & mineral. magnifying glass shows that it is the blue fea- ther of the kingfisher and as it-is placed in a setting with a ridge above it for protection it frequently will stand a good deal of wear. Chinese 'Japidary art generally consists in ignoring everything that is geometrical. The motives of the Chinese are generally plants, ani- mals, scenes or symbolical orna- ments. "Everything in their lapidary art is soft and rounded, pleasing both to the eye and to the touch. Abbott Thayer, the Americay art- ist, has discovered that the most in- tense colors properly mingled, as in the wings of birds, butterflies and beetles, blend into a soft tone. even an iron furnace or a smoke- stack. Louis Tiffany has always be- lieved in a wealth of softness and color, whether in glass or jewelry. To obtain a brilliant blue he took colorless opals and-ground them in- to regular jelly-like masses and put blue sapphires under them, and then opals under masses of pale | sapphires. Again, he combined amethysts that were deep purple with deep blue sapphires and combined these with opal matrix of deepest blue and green. Another example is a lamp screen of beach pebbles lead- ed together ; every one of these peb- bles had been water-worn and slightly fron-rusted, and the blend- ing of the white with the tones of brown in the lamplight produced a most charming effect. --+---_- LORD KITCHENER'S TASK. Will Command 45,000 Soldiers and 5,000 Sailors at the Coronation. Lord Kitchener, who will return to England from British East Afri- ca to command coronation troops, will find himself faced with a severe but congenial task in gen- eralship and rapid mobilization, for an army of 45,000 soldiers, with pro- bably some 5,000 sailors, will be in ssession of London. The War Office is actively preparing for this great invasion of London from the military depots and garrison towns throughout the country. It is ex- pected that the majority of the re- giments will be billeted in the parks at any of the Council schools and in several big buildings like the Ag- ricultural Hall. i army of Sappers will start trench- ing the soil in Kensington Gardens. Tents will be erected in the leafy avenues, and field kitchens placed in the vicinity of/the Round Pound. Nearly 10,000 men will camp in the gardens. The official list of metro- politan depots is not quite prepar- ed, but it is expected to include Battersea Park, Regent's Park, a small portion of Hyde Park, Bish- op's Park, Fulhata and Hampton Court. ¢ London, in the hands of this large army--the largest perhaps ver mobilized within its borders-- will be one of the instructive fea- tures of the coronation. Camp fires will burn in the parks at night, and the ordinary law-abiding citi- zen, who probably has never seen a handful of soldiers bivouacking in open country, will find @ very pic- turesque imitation of it in the leafy areas in town. This army wil] in- clude representatives of every State and Dominion in the Empire. Several distinguished transport of- ficers are to be chosen for duty on a special military railroad staff, of the troops. These will be brought in to Waterloo and other stations on the morning of coronation day. IN THE SOUTH. The class was having a lesson in geography. and were. learning the points of the compass.

({Special)--There is a world interest in the simple story of Madame Thomas Lauriault of this place.. In her own words, it is as follows: "Dodd's Kidney Pills cured my husband of Kidney Disease and my- self of Bright's Disease. We recom- mend Dodd's Kidney Pills to all who suffer from Kidney or Bright's Disease." This is a splendid example of the grand work Dodd's Kidney Pills are doing among the plain people of Canada. Kidney Disease is the commonest of all ailments among those who have to work hard, be- cause the kidneys ure the first part of the body to feel the wear and tear of heavy work. When the kidneys go wrong the blood goes wrong, and the whole body goes wrong. Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes and Bright's Dis- ease are the usual results. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure these by simply curing the kidneys. -------- THE MASTERFUL BORROWER. "Yes," sighed yentle little Mrs. Wildur, "I do wish Mrs. Nesbitt wasn't quite such a masterful wo- man about borrowing. I do need my irons so much."' "Won't she send them back "' asked the sympathetic caller. 'No, she won't. What was it she said when you went for 'em to-day, Marielda?" ; "T spoke just as easy to her, and said, 'Good morning, Mis' Nesbitt. Ma says could she have her irons a little while? She's making a dress, and needs 'em to press.' And she answered me just as short, and said: "No, she can't! And you tell your ma that she knows perfectly well that pressing a dress, which I doubt if she's making one at all, isn't half as important as doing a family washing and ironing, and not to send me any more such fool- ish messages, either."' "TY reckon I shall have to make out without them," sadly conclud- ed Mrs. Wildur. a "WHY BE SO THIN?"

There is at least one place in Europe where trousers for women are the fashion, and they are trousers, too, made of good wear- ing material, not the modern jupe- culotte, with its veilings of choice cloths. ' The women of Champery, the well known health resort in Swit- zerland, have from time immemori- al worn honest masculine trousers. They wear them not to attract at- tention to themselves, but simply for the sake of convenience, for they have to perform tasks which need freedom of the nether limbs. They not only perform all a wo- man's usual tasks, including the bringing up of very large families, t to a great extent the care o the cattle is left to them. In Sum- mer they labor in the fields and in Winter they toil about the steep hillsides through deep snow, often on skis, feeding and looking after the stabled cows and goats. Some- times they carry huge wicker bas- kets on their backs filled with all manner of articles from faggots to babies. The weight of these bas- o & strong man unaccustomed to them.
