SPRING BLOOD IS BAD BLOOD poTV Best to Get New Healtl and Strength in Spring. The winter months ere trying to khe health of even the most robust. Confinement in-doors in over-heat- ed and nearly always badly venti Uted roomsâ€" in the home, the office, the shop and the schoolâ€" taxes the vitality of even the strongest. The blood becomes thin and watery or clogged with impurities. Sometimes you get up in the morning just as tired as when you went to bed. Some people have headaches; THE CULLINAN DIAMOND. | TTTf TAni? I FRIEND'S ADVICE Queen W ill Wear It Separate From Crown on State OccaHioos. The King and Queen, ajixioUs to make the fullest possible practi- cable use of the Transvaal's mag- nificient gift, the Cullinan diar mond, have consulted the court jewelers, Messrs. Gerrard, of Lon- don, as to whether it can be ar- ranged that the splendid gem shall be so set in the Imperial Crown as to be detachable for wear by her Majesty on great state occasions, as it was at the recent opening of Par- liament. • The feasibility of the plan having been demonstrated, the jewelers have been honored with his Majesty's commands to carry out the work. Thus th^ Cullinan, while retaining a status of a crown jewel, will be available others are low spirited ; some have , f,,^. ^^^^^ jjy ^.^e Queen on occa- pimples and skin eruptions. These j^^^^^ ^^^ which the Crown itself is are all spring symptoms that the blood ia out of order. You can't cure these troubles with purgative medicines, which merely gallop through the system, leaving you still weaker. What you need to give you health and strength in the apring is a tonic medicine, and the one always reliable tonic and blood Guilder is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. i'Rese Pills not only banish spring ills, but guard you against the more serious ailments that follow, <uch as anaemia, nervous debility, rheumatism, indigestion and kiduey trouble. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make new, rich blood which strengthens every nerve, every or- gan and every part of the body. Try this medicine this spring and you will have strength and energy to resist the torrid heat of the coming summer. Mr. J. H. John- son, Loch Broom, N. B., says :â€" "Some two years ago I l)<>gan to IcA '^hat my constitutiiSn was weak *nijg. I could not stand any ox posure or knocking about. I finally â- ought the aid of a doctor who said my system was very much run down, and that the trouble might «nd in nervous prostration. As his medicine did not help me I deoidf^l, on the advice of a friend, to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial I had used less than a halt dozen boxes when my health was fully re stored, and I think no other medi cine can equal these Pills when one is run down and out of health."

Andrew Carnegie is fond of the Scots' national instrument, the bagpipe, and when he is at home at Skibo Castle usually has !iis pet piper to play for him at din- ner. Particularly is the musician in attendance when the great philanthropist has guests. On one occasion a big company of men sat down to table, and the piper pranced up and down the room a.s he playeo.

The result is that he is back at work and his Backache is gone EARTHQUAKES AND WEATHER A writer in Nature calls atten- tion to the peculiar weather which accompanied and followed the great Sicilian earthquake. The sudden fog which settled upon the Strait of Messina was paralleled by a heavy mist accompanying the Mexican earthquake of January, 1809, and the writer adds that rain- fall is so frequejttly reported as the immediate successor of an earthquake that "we can no long- er reject the hypothesis of a real connection between the two." Prof. Milne has suggested that the dis- turbance of the ground when transmitted to the overlying air may determine precipitation, thus explaining the apparent association of severe earthquakes with mist and rain.

Saskatchewan They Are In- dustrious and Prosperous. The Indian of the great prairie province of Saskatchewan are dis- proving the theory that an Indian won't work unless he has to. They are becoming industrious and pros- p'-rous. There are nearly 8,000 Indians in the province and last year they had about 9,000 acres under crops. They raised 150,572 bushels of grain and roots and 30,000 tons of hay, worth $136,023. The Departm^|nt of Indian Af fairs reports that the Indians are turning more and more to tho soil for a living. The agent of the As- siniboine agency, which may be re- garded as typical, writes : "I was greatly pleased to find that the area under crop was al- most double what it was the year before. The band had about 600 acres of wheat and 200 acres of oats. The Indians of tnis agency arc beginning to farm on a large scale, and if they continue to do as well as they have in the last two years there will be some good sized farms among them. One man has 155 acres in crop and another 129 acres, and ^veral had seventy acres each. There was a decided improvement in the way the land had ben farmed." BLAME PLACED.
