I PJAISWEfl BY IMPURE eiOOD Dured by Lr. Williams' Pink Pills Benanse Tiey Make Pure Blood Ask any doctor and he will tell you that eczema is caused by im- purities in the blood; that nothing can cure it that does not reach the blood â€" that salves and outward ap- plications are worthless and a waste of money. The reason why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have al- ways been so successful in curing this most annoying trouble is be- cause they act directly on the'blood, reaching the root of the trouble and driving out all impurities. They banish eczema, salt rheum, a'ld unsightly pimples and erup- tions, relieve the irritation and itching and give perfect health. Mrs. A. Puling, of Milestone, Sask., says: "I was aSIicted with a blood and skin di.sease which the doctor called eczema, but which did not yield in the least to his treatment. I was covered with sores and in very bad shape. A friend advised me to to take Dr. \Villiams' Pink Pills and after us- ing eight or nine boxes I was com- pletely cured. I can strongly re- commend the Pills to anyone suf- fering from that trouble." A medicine that can make new, red blood will cure not only skin troubles, but also anaemia, rheu- matism, neuralgia, indigestion and a host of other troubles simply be- cause these troubles are the result of bad blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make new blood and under their use blood and nerve troubles disappear.

A Visit lo a Lady of High Degree and Une to a Fariucr's Wife. "W'e could have walke<.l from our house to that of the Wei's in five minutes," writes an English woman visiting in China to the Lady, "but etiquette ordained that we should drive. So we ordered a blue hood- ed, springless mule cart, the only conveyance obtainable in that north ern city, and crawled in on all fours under cover of the hood while the servant sat on the shafts and the driver walked behind us using his voice instead of reins. "We had dressed in gala clothes for the occasion. " 'lour white gown is very pretty,' said my hostess in a doubt- ful tone, 'butâ€"' " 'But whati' I asked anxiously, " 'But the Chinese do so dislike white. You see it is the sign of mourning. No don't trouble to change. That pink scarf will make it all right and piuk is one of their favorite colors.' "The gatekeeper at the Wei man- »ion hearing the sound of cartwheels flung open the big gates and we were conducted round a few sharp corners and across some paved courtyards into an inner court where the mistress of the establish- ment, surrounded by a group of hand maidens and relatives, came forward to meet us. "Her face, thickly coated with a wash of rice flour paste, and rouge dabbed on here and there in what we should call the wrong places, gave her face the wooden look of A DUTCH DOLL and her woo<len walk on the poor lily feet three inches long kept up the resemblance. "We were ushered with many polite speeches into the guest hall, a bare, uninteresting room with walls that had once been white- washed and a latticed window with paper panes that had once been white. The chief furniture consist- ed of a table placed squarely against the centre wall with a pond- erous chair at either end. "The Tai Tai sat afar off, look- ing more wlxkUmi than ever with her shrunken legs, like a couple of large ninepins encased in purple trousers. Had it not been for the relatives and ttie hand uiaidens con- versation would have fliiggcd con- siderably. She come from the 8<iutli aiul was still unaccustomed to northern niaiularin. "Fortunately among the relatives a vivacious, good looking girl with a merry laugh kept the ball rolling. The more she talked, however, the more silent <lid the Tai Tai become, and our suspicions were aroused. "Meanwhile the tea was brought in, and a <lainty sup covered with an inverted saucer was placed be- itide each guest. According to rtiquette, we ignorwl its existance until the Tai Tai requeste<l us to taste of it, whereupon, carefully rising our cups in both hands, we made a feint of offering them to her. Declining the honor, she re- peated bcr request that we should ourselves partook of the tea, and formalities thus concluded, we gave a e^izzling sip to SHOW APPRECIATION. "We were careful to hold the cup in both hands and not to remove the lid or inverted saucer, but mere- ' ly to tilt it slightly to one side. Sponge cakes dipped in oil and sav- ; ory pa.stries stuffed with dates were piled up on the table beside us, the i attendants handling them with fing- 1 ers which made no pretence of be- ing clean. | "The Tai Tai was becoming more I woo<len than ever, when by a fort- ! unate chance my companion, who | spoke the language fluently and j was well versed in Chinese ctiquet- 1 te. made the discovery that the i merry faced conversational girl | was an 'Ih Tai Tai' â€" in other words. ! the secondary wife. Realizing the \ difficulties of the situation, she was careful henceforth to address her i conversation very pointedly to the , real Tai Tai and thereby probably ; warded off a family quarrel after i our departure. j "Luckily for people like myself. , whose knowledge of the language is i di.-tinctly limited, there are various 1 topics to be discussed with a 'new | guest' which need but a slended vocabulary. " 'Which is your honorable king- dom V they ask. " 'My inferior kingdom is Eng- land.' â- ' 'And your honorable age?" they inquire. "At which, if one desires to ans- wer indefinitely, one replies twenty- odd or thirty-odd as the case may be. "They soon discover if one is un- married and this affords some sur- prise, for spinsters of a certain ai;c are hardly ever met w'th in '.'hina. An explanation that in Englar.d wc please ourselves as to whether we will marry or not only increases the bewilderment. You seek to divert their attention by inquiring how many 'commanding gentlemen' they have (meaning sons). If t'ney reply, that they have one or more YOUNG PUPPIES (meaning sons), you hasten ti. con- gratulate, and so it g'les on. "Finally your attemi-t'-. to finish your tea having been friist-ate > by the attendant, who fi'l; the cup up again before it has a ciiiiu -3 C'f get ting empty, leaving takings are commenced. You fear ytnx have been very little compa'iy, and ttie Tai Tai murmurs some.hii!!r depie- catory about herself.

"My next visit was of a very dif- ferent character. We spent the afternoon with a respectable farm- er's family. The farmer's wife wel- comed us warmly and regaled us on tea and boiled eggsâ€" a dish of twenty or thirey boiled eggs, to bo eaten witho^it bread or salt or any accessory whatever except the tea. "The farmhouse was built of mud, | with walls 2 feet thick, and the win- dows were almost non-existent. The place looked poverty stricken, but the farmer's wife spoke of recent prosperity. Crops had done well and she and her husbnr.d had been able to purchase ihat which they had been wanting for some years past. !'Sh« took us to see the newly bought treasures. We peered in through the door and the gixxl wo- man's face beamed with pride and pleasure. There they where straight in front of us made of polishes! wooll, black as ebony, two magnificent â€" coffins."

The theory of the action is abrasion by local fusion due to the very high speed of the disk, causing so many thousand inches of surface to impinge on the metal un- der-cut that the material acted upon is heated at the point of contact to a temperature approaching if not equal to the fusing point. It ap- pears as if a very small p<irti<)n of the metal being cut immediately in the neighborhood of the point of contact is first melted and at once rubbed off. thus exposing a fresh surface to the frictional action, and that this process goes on continu- ously while the disk is working. The temperature of the disk must necessarily be much lower than the work in contact with it owing to its large surface area, and when it is considered that all the frictional energy of the rotating disk is con- centrated on an e.xtreme!y small ! area of contact in the material sub- 1 jected to its action the results ob- i tained are not so surprising as ap- | pear at first I'ight. â€" Cassier's Mag-| azine. i NADru-./^spepsi^blET5 relieve and cure Indigestionâ€" acidity of the »lomachâ€" billoujneaa â€" flatulence â€" dyspepsia.
