'the sufferer wild So many cases of neuralgia have yielded to treatment "through Dr. Williams', Pink Pills - that every sufferer rrom this dread- "ed trouble should lose no time in _ giving the Pills«a fair trial. Mrs. 2 Sophia H. Jehnsou, Mozan, Sask., » Says: 'For upwards of ten years >I was a periodical sufferer from of my face and in the jaw, which would actually click every time opened or closed my mouth. At times the pains would be almost unendurable, and as time went on, my whole nervous system seemed to be affected. I was constantly doctoring, but the doctor did not seem to be able to give me per- manent relief, and at last I decid- ed to try Dr. Williams' Pink Piils. I got a half dozen boxes, and be- fore they were half gone I felt much * better, and by the' time I had used them all every symptom of the trouble had gone, and I was enjoy- ing a comfort I had not known for years. I have since remained in the best of health, and can only say I owe the joy of living without pain to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Sold by all medicine dealers or THE QUEEN' EEN' 3 "DAILY DAY. How Mer Majesty | Makes the Most of Her Moments. Queen Mary spends as busy a day as most of her subjects. Tht actual day's work begins when the Queen comes into her writing room after breakfast. This is usually from 9.15 to 9.30. Carry- ing with her the large correspond- ence of the morning's post, goes through it with two secretar- les. The Queen herself has usually opened the letters and glanced through them before breakfast. She dictates her replies to such letters as need answering, and soon clears off the lot. Then follow regularly interviews with the governess of the children, with the chief nurse, the house- pons: and hive heads of ---- at~-Buckingham | is fin- a o she next sees the Various trades- pcg and other folk of that kind whom she must see herself now a hes, until 1.30, when luncheon is n. Almost every afternoon when in London, after lunch is over, Queen Mary visits some picture gallery, or some hospita! or other charitable institution, or a city church of note or some old halls of the great Lon- don Companies, or some interest- ing spot in After five o'clock 'tea, she usualy again summons her secretaries, and sv gets through the corre spondence which has arrived since morning, Tocn, if she has arranged private aud special interviews with any persons, apart from officials or tradesfolk, she takes these inter- views before dinncur-time. ter dinner, her Majesty's chief relaxation and delight is reading, which she keeps up, as a rule, till about half-past ten. Occasionally music forms a part of her pleasure between mine and ten, but she does not play or sing as much as she us- ed to do when younger, and reading or sewing seems to interest her most at night. Asa rule, you may take it that 11 p.m. always sees the Queen retiring to sle pep i and ere tate functions are ailowed to terfere with that excellent time toe retiring. Her Majesty seldom pays a visit to any institution without making it a "surprise" one. She likes to drop in quite unexpectedly and see for herself how things are done, and how the work is being carried out each day. She is most particu- Jar in getting the right sort of peo- ple on any committee with which e is concerned: she often asks them herself to serve un it as a per- sonal faver. She takes a firm stand against any charitable movement being used so as to pauperize the people for whom it is meant ;-she is always trying to help folk to help * themselves. The Queen is a great believer in ecbaracter, as against sentimental talk and feelivg, "and she will never er to any popular fad of the y--however ent cmap ing 4 it 'may be taken up--unless the be ~yeminently sound and conaiuie. et, FOR TEETHING BABIES be is only one medicine for sithing babie s--that is one that vat make teething easy and at the same time can be given with absv- lute safety.

Under her to Tenn so" SEE ae and don't even know they are learning, Maria Montessori is a woman of wide learning and re gee ability. In her opinion the only education worth having is auto-education. In the work carried on under her sad ection one great difficulty - is keep the teacher from Piaking hal the assistance of a child who seems puzzled or embarrassed in his lit- tle employment. The idea of re- wards or punishments is rigorous- iy banished from the "houses of childhood' under mer os. Her methods are ribed at length in McClure's woe She begins with very little children and first trains the sense of touch. She and found them an. excellent are s the age. of isdl- ating the senses for the purpose of training. Edutation of the hear- ing, for example, can best be car- ried on in a room which is not on- ly quiet but also dark. The child- ren are often blindfolded for train- ing the senses other than that of sight. They become so keen that they can by mere touch tell a grain of millet from one of rice and can discriminate between coins, even those which are almost alike. One day Maria Montessori hap- pened to meet a mother carrying a ix i jittle baby swaddled in tne Italian fashion and half in jest she took it into the schoolroom and held it up to the children as a model of oor Je immobility and noiseless- enlarged on these characteristics "the imitative in- stinet of the children asserted it- self and they all fell to rivalling the baby in ABSOLUTE IMMOBILITY. The effect was marvellous, and ever since that day the "game of silence" has been one of the most popular in all the schools. The children when the game is to be played choose their seats. The teacher then goes quietly from one Window to another, drawing the shutters together until twilight reigns in the room. Some of the little ones always cover their faces with their hands. Others vontinue to wriggle and to move in their pleces until the whole room is nearly dark and peg Pate teacher has retired to an open seereny leaden eading into the weight? | trons det . ung a 5 z ' -- 'i it so one Boing to reet even the most ui BEGIN AGAIN AT ieee The usual interval between the first preparation and the accom- plishment of writing is in children of 4 years a month and a half, i easy ones gradually quiet down and become expectant and serious, to evalt the ever renewed mystery. When perfect silence has stolen over the assembly, so perfect that the ticking of a miniature clock in the room can be distinctly heard, the teacher calls a name in a faint whisper, "'Giovanni.' Giovanni rises as quietly as he can from his little chair and tiptoes out of the room into the vestibule. Woe to him if his small shoes creak! He must feel himself the object. of some very black looks, for everyone is trying to hear the name "Lucia," which is being mur- mured by the teacher, Lucia is more quiet in her movements than Giovanni, "Guiseppe," the teach- er next softly calls, and a funny little boy silently joins the others in the hall. She continues to call in a mys- terious whisper until a dozen bam- bini have stolen out noiselessly and solemnly. Then the game is over. Nothing that savors of prolonged mental tax is permitted to be con- tinued for hny length of time in the "HOUSES OF CHILDHOOD." Those who have remained in their places will get the chance to show how stealthily they can leave ,the room the next time the game of silence is 'played. When the game is ended the shutters are opened | j and the tongues begin to wag again; but the game has calmed all excitability. Sometimes they ask for it.twice a day. It was during the vacation of July, 1907, after the school had been opened for six months, that Maria Montessori was first induc- ed to consider the instruction of children in writing and reading. She confesses to have been strong- ly prejudiced against the idea of putting such a strain upon the im- mature brains of children under 7. The first request came from the children themselves. Some of the more ambitious young aspirants to the higher learning arduously drew an Oon the blackboard several times to convince her of their cap- acity. Then some of the mothers cume to the directorate in charge to say that, as their children learn- ed everything at the Casa dei Bam- bint without fatigue, they could not understand why she should re- fuse to let them read and write; in the elementary schools it would hot be half so easy. They way she did it would wot seem to anybody like nin writing. Tho children know they were baroing, . They first learned the forms of the lee ters by means of large models of coarse black sandpaper pasted on very smooth white cards. -- After- wards these were supplemented, for la ™, Maria Montessori is performing ci at of nd Milan.
