NEW HEALTH FOR SUFFERING WOMEN Obtained Throoflrh Enriching the Blood Supply. Many women endure with silent pa- tience Buffering tbat castd a shadow over b&lf her life. But an aching back, tired limbs, stdeaches, attacks of faint- ness and aplitting headaches need not b« a part of a woman's life. Such trials indicate plainly that her blood Is thin and Impure; that to drive away these troubles her system requires the new, rich blood supplied by Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. These pills are Talued by suffering Wx.men, who have used them, ahjlve all other medicines because they make the rich, red blood that makes women feel well and at ^elr best. Proof of these statements Is given by Mrs. Eugene Deslauriers, Rlcbot, Man., who says: â€" "A few years ago my health completely failed. I was subject to those troubles that afflict so many of my sex. Added to these I suffered from constipation, loss of appetite, dizziness, a ringing in my head and nervous prostration. I consulted several doctors, but their medicines failed to give me i-ellef. After much persuasion I began to take Dr. WilUanvs' Pink Pills, but without much hope as I believed that no medi- cine would help me. To my great joy, however, I found these pills were Just what I Ridded, and I can honestly say they have made me a well woman. I can now do with ease all my own house- work, and I strongly urge other weak, ailing women to give this medicine a fair trial, feeling that what it has done for me It will do for others." You can get these pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. tV-illiams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

That is a comforting reflection. I To die young is no longer regarded as a pious act. But it is not years only which make long life. ' We live In defeds, not years ; in ' thoughts, not breaths; j In feeling.^, not in ligTires on a dial. ' There are long lives which, reckon-! oned on this basis, would be tragically ' short; there are. short lives, reckoned by their achievements, which are cen- turies long! We are told to revere grey hairs, but grey hairs are venerable only when they are the sliver cixiwn of ac- complishment. There is many a man who Is old only in yeors. His deede will never grow old, but will renew themselves eternally like spring flow- ers and the eaves of the f<^rest. The best way to live Is to "give every flying minute something to keep In store." Logan berries were produced by crossing blackberries and raspberries. Shocking Manners! In the Fabulous Forties Mr. Meade Minnigerode admits feeling some dis- may when hi.s reading of the manuals of etiquette then popular revealed to him how elementary was the instruc- tion apparently needed by young per- sons oven in the supposedly polite circles of the day. Young ladies were solemnly warned against "balancing themselves upon ,their chairs; cross- ing their legs; extending their feet up- on the andirons; admiring themselves with complacency in a glass; folding their shawls instead of throw^ing them with graceful negligence upon a table; taking a person by the button or col- lar; whirling a chair around on one leg and shaking with their feet the chair of a neighbor." Undesirable awkwardness all, but Mr. Minuigerode's astonishment real- ly begins when he finds what the men- tors regard as necessary to say In res- pect to table manners. "Ladies should never dine with their gloves on un- less their hands are not fit to be seen," aroused in him a painful suspicion that ladies with hands "not fit to be seen" were willing, instead of taking pains to make them flt, to cover all de- ficiencies with gloves; nor. It is to be noted, has their instructress in man- ners any reprehensions to bestow on their doing so. It also appears that ladies at table â€" and that In the very years when female delicacy, fragility and ethereally anaemic charm were most admired â€" were frequently apt to stuit their mouths too full or reckless- ly take bites of bone or gristle, which could not be masticated. At any rate, the duty of a gentleman present on such an unfortunate occasion Is made cleai': "If at dinner a lady should raise an unmanageable portion to her mouth, you should cease all conversation with her and look steadfastly into the op- posite part of the room." Possibly the advice carries a sug- gestion of finer manners on the part of our grandfathers than of our grand- mothers. The balance Is soon re- stored. A volume of etiquette for young men brings a masculine error in behavior to book with appalling frankness: "The rising generation of elegants in America are particularly requested to observe that in polished society It is not quite comme 11 faut for gentle- men to blow their noses with their fin- gers, especially when in the street â€" a practice infinitely more common than refined." In the family, both as a matter of Christian duty and correct deport- ment, the husband was expected to exert an autliority tempered by be- nevolent consideration, and the wife to be always docile, mild and submis- sive. "Sometimes yield your wishes to hers." Jlrs. Emery, a popular writer of the day, persuasively suggests to married men. "Do not find It hard to yield sometimes! Think you it is not difficult for her to give up always?" And in the Token of F'riendship, or Home, the Centre of the Affections, by the Rev. J. N. Danforth. published in Boston In 1844, occurs the perfect pic- ture of the model family of the forties: The father gives his kind command. The mother Joins, approves: And children all attentive stand. Then each, obedient, moves. POTTS Variations â€" Philpott, Phillpot, Phil- lipi. Racial Orl^n â€" Norman French. Source â€" A given name. You'd never imagine, from the mere comparison of the family names of Potts and Phillips that there was any connection between them. But the j fact la that they are virtually the same name, that they have come from the same source, the given name of Philip. As a given name, you must go back to the ancient Greek for the source of Philip. In its original form It was : Philllpos, from the Greek root "phil," , for "love," and "hippos." for "horse." , The name means 'lover of horses." It was taken over by tie old Romans â-  from the Greeks, and became with ' them Philllpus. and first with the ' spread of the Roman conquest through what is now France and Normandy, and later through the spread of Chris- tianity (for it had become a popular ; Christian name) over the same course, ' it became quite common in the north- â-  western section of the Euicjiean main- : land. It was taken over to lin6l;'nd by William and his Xonnan conquer- ors, and throughout the Middle Ages becime quite common there also, â-  though to-day its popularity as a given name has fallen off somewhat in Eng- , land. The name was often shortened : to Phil, though this shortened form ' has not survived in any form of sur- name. With the diminutive ending it became Phillpot (little Philip). j Strangely enough, in numerous cases I practically all of the given name was dropped, leaving only the final "p" with the diminutive ending tor the modern family name of Potts.

COUNTING THE STARS When the discovery of a new star Is announced the layman Is apt to Infer that an almost exhaustive list of stars, to which the latest recruit Is trium- phantly added, ha^s been compiled. Yet astronomers' estimates of the total number of stars in eoclstence vary to the extent of several millions, 1200 millions being a rough approxi- mation. Among others. Sir John Herchel, Otto Stnive and Professor E. C. Pick- ering have attempted to estimate the number of fitars. Herchel's computa- tion gave five and a half million stars from the first to the fourteenth magni- tude, but Struve improved on this figure with twenty millions, while Pickering, with the added advantage of including stars of the fifteenth magnitude, fell short of Struve by two milllon«. But densely and sparsely star-span- gled areas occur, clusters being fre- quent, with the Qala.xy, or .Milky Way, as the main concentration. And as the astronomies struck an average from counts in various sections, one Is not I surprised at the divergent results. I Stars are brought to count by the I use of a powerful telescope, combined I with a camera, and exposure of three ! or four hours. The Lick refractor, one of the world's most famous telescopes. makes visible stars of the seventeenth magnitude, and the 100-inch reflector : recently erected on Mount Wilson, i California, shows stars of the twen- j tieth magnitude. i To the naked eye at any one time only about 2000 stars are visible. But if the observer goes to different parts I of the earth at the most propitious seasoas of the year 60O0 stars may be brought v,-ithin range of the human eye unaided. Before the stars are definitely num- bered the stellar system must have Its borders explored by giant telescopes. And this appears to be nearing com- pletion, as the most modern instru- ments are not disclosing the number of new stars anticipated. Meanwhile, "the skies are painted with unnumber- ed sparks."

The dragon- y's eye has 12.000 facets, and the Mor- della beetle's eye is made up of no fewer Uian 25.000. While the compound eyes never ex- ceed two. the single eyes vary in num- ber from eighteen to twenty. They are situated In groups on each side of the head. Spiders and scorpions have both single and compound eyes, though they appear to derive little benefit from them. The Lucky Sons.

Mr. Kennedy Wil- liamson writes a summary of a story that Gissiug himself told. In a lonely spot by a woodland the novelist found a small boy leaning against a tree; ^lis head was buried in his hands, and he was sobbing out his heart. The lad had been sent to pay a debt with six- pence and had lost the money. He was not su much afraid of facing his parents as he was sorrowful at tie losfi they sustained.
