: U1ILE WORRIES !N JHE HOME It is These That Bring Wrinkles anfl Malta Women Look Pre- maturely Old. Almost every woman at the head of a home meets daily with many little worries in her household af- fairs. They may be too small to no- tice an hour afterwards, but it is these same constant little worries that make so many women look pre- maturely old. Their effect may be noticed in sick or nervous head- aches, ficklo appetite, pain in the back or aide, sallow complexion, and the coming of wrinkles, which every woman dreads. To those thu afflicted Dr. Williams' Pink Pills offer a apeedy and certain cure, a restoration of color to the cheeks, brightness to the eye, a healthy appetite and a sense of freedom from weariness. Among the thousands of Canadian women who Knv found new health and new strength through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is Mrs. W. C. Daerr, London, Ont., who ays: "About two years ago I found myself so badly run down that it was almost impossible to perform my household duties. I fell off in flesh, was weak and very pale, hud no appetite, feet con- stantly cold, and to further make my life miserable I was afflicted with those other ailments from whioh so many women suffer. 1 tried many kinds of medicine, but got no benefit, and began to feel ilir.t I was slipping into chronic in validism. I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and although I felt somewhat hopeless, decided to do so. To my delight, after tak- ing the Pills a fnw w/vks, T fflt. much better, and a further use of thorn brought me back to my old time health. I have since recom- mended the Pills to many others, and those who have used them have always been benefitted."

In the new volume of Lord Broughton's reminiscences therein n description of Queen. Victoria'* wedding, the writer having been ono of the guests. "Her Majesty," he says, "looked handsome, but pale, and the orange blossoms in her head shook violently. But nhe performed her part with her usual propriety and presence of mind and prompted Prince Albert during the reading of the lesson* moro than once. She once beck- onnd to him to approach nearer when be put the ring on her finger, and pointed to the finger on which the ring was to be put." houie without leaving tho sword outside was a breach of friend- ship. H, whose position justified the accompaniment of an attendant in- variably left the oword in his charge at the entrance, or if he were alone it was usually laid down at the entrance. If removed inside thin was in- variably done by the host's ser- vants ; rvnd it was not touched by the bare hand, but with a silk nap- kin kept for the purpose. The sword was placed upon a sword rack, in the place of honor near the guest, and treated with all the politeness due to an honored visitor who would resent a discour- tesy. To exploit a naked weapon was a gross iu.sult, unless when a gentleman wished to show his friends his collection. To express a wish to see a sword was not usual unless the blade in question was of great value, when, a rcque 1 t to be shown it would be a compliment. The sword would then be handl- ed with the back toward the gx.est. the edge turned toward the owner, and the hilt to the left, the guest wrapping the hilt either in the lit- tle silk napkin always carried b.v gentlemen in their pockets or in a sheet of clean F a pe r - The weapon was drawn from the ecnbba-rd and admi;-d inch by inch, but not to the hill length un- less the owner pressed his guet t> do so, when, with much apology, the sword was entirely drawn and held away from the other person* present. After being admired it would be carefuUy wiped with a special cloth, sheathed, and returned to the own- er as before. Tho -short sword was retained in the girdle, but at a long visit both host and guest laid it aside. * Externally or Internally, it is Good. When applied externally by brisk rubbing, Dr. Thomas' Ec- lectric Oil opens the pores anu penetrates the tissue as few lini- ments do, touching the seat of the trouble and immediately affording relief. Administered internally, it will still the irritation ; n the throat which induces coughing and will cure affections of the bronchial tubes and respiratory organs. Try it and be convinced. JAPAN'S SWORD ETIQUETTE It Is Expressed in a Number of Minute Rules. In Japan until within recent times tho sword was considered a badge of the aristocracy. The etiquette that regulated the wear- ing of the long and the short ewurds was expressed in a number of minute rules. The most trivial breach of these minute observances was often the cause of muderou'S brawls and cause of murderous brawls and other's weapon or to come into col- lision with the sheath was a dire offence, and to enter a friend's CURED OFJONSTiPATQN Mr. Andrews praJaaa Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills.

Clarke, Stirling, Ont., writes: "I wish to give this unsolicited testimonial to the great value of Baby's Own Tablets. Our little giri, born last Febru- ary, was at first very consti- pated. When other remedies failed we tried the Tablets and in a week she was com- pletely cured. By the use of the Tablets she has be< n kept welt and happy ever sine*." It is strong praise like this th.it has mn.de Baby's Own Tab'.ts so popular. Thou- sands of other mothers have said: "Once we gave the Tablets a trial we bad no- thing but praise for them." The Tablets are sold by me- dicine uealers or by mail ut 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams" Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. *- "Hurrah!

A tribe of Indians who have , primitive, and at the same time a very effective, system of telephone has been discovered in South America. Tho Putumayos are tho tribe, and they take their name from one of the affluents of the Ama/xjn. Suspended from a beam they have two blocks of weed, stud- ded with a stone peculiar to the dis- trict. The stones are struck with a baton with india-rubber at tne tip. The blocks give musical sounds with sharps and Hats when struck. Communication is made by a certain number of taps, and the> \vords are varied by the time lapning between such taps. It i said messages in this way can be heard a distance extending over nine miles.

Cook's Rheumatism from which she had suffered for four- teen years. Mannheim, Ont., Jan 16 (Special) How quickly and easily Rheuma- tism can be cured when you use th<> right means is shown in the ease of Mrs. Mary A. Cook, well known and highly respected here. In an interview regarding her cure, of which all the village knows, Mrs, Cook says : "I had Rheumatism so bad that sometimes I would sit up nearly all night. "I first t)>ought I would try the doctors, but luckily I decided to first try Dodd's Kidney Pills. "They cured me, and I didn't have to try the doctors. And just to think that after fourteen years of pi' w <rinc one box of Dodd's Kid- ney Pilla ehould cure ! I will recom- mend Dodd's Kidney Pills to any- one who suffers from Rheumatism." Yes, it is easy to cure Rheuma- tism when you go the right way about it. Rheumatism is caused bv uric acid in the blood. If the Kid- neys are working riftht they will strain all the uric acid out of the blood and there can be no Rheu- matism. Dodd's Kidney Pills al- ways make the Kidneys work right. DYING MAN'S DIARY.

Suddenly the cry of 'man overboard' ! mado me spring to my feet. I heard a trampling overhead, but resolved not to go on deck Lest I should in- rfere with the crew in their ef- forts to ave the poor man. 'What can I do?' I asked myself, and. in- stantly unlocking my lamp, I held it near the top of my cabin and clone to my hull's eye window, that, its light might ahine on the Rfa, and ae near the ship as possible. In a half minute' time I inward the joy- ful cry, 'It's all right; he's safe,' upon which I put my lamp in ite place. The next day, however.

Thia is the experieuce of a man of high reputation, widely known in Montreal, and wlujse case can readily be investigated. Mr. T. M. Marsh, the gentleman referred to, lives at 101 Delorimier Avenue, Montreal, and has lived there for years. For twenty-five years he has had eczema on his hands and wrists. In that tiino four eminent medi- cal men tried to cure him, and each gave up the case as hopeless. Naturally. Mr. Marsh tried reme- dies of all kinds, but he, also, at last gave it up. Fur two years he had to wear gloves day and night, so terrible was the pain and itching when the air got to the sores. Then came Zam-Buk 1 He tried it, jiiBt as he Ivad tried hundreds of remedies before. But he soon found out that Zam-Buk was different. Within a few weeks there were dis- tinct signs of benefit, and a little perseverance with this great her- bal balm resulted in what he had given up all hope of a complete cure ! And bhe cure was no tem- porarv cure. It was permanent. He was cured nearly four years ago. Interviewed the other dav, Mr. M.i ; ,h said: "The cure which Zam-Buk worked has been abso- lutely permanent. From the day that I was cured to the present mo- ment I have had no tram of eczema, and I feel sure it will never re- turn."
