In such disfavor was the poor man that all would have been glad to have blm go anywhere, so he left Hillsborough. One day in the Christmas holidays a boy came to the door of Riley Brooke wltb a bucksaw on his arm. "I'm looking for work," eaid the boy, "and I'd be glad of the chance to saw your wood." "How much a cord?' waa the loud Inquiry. "Forty cents." "Too much," said Brooke. "How much a day?" "Six shillings." "Too much," said the old man snappishly. "I used to git SO a month when I was your age, au' rise at 4 o'clock in , tbe mornln' an' work till bedtime. Vou boys nowilays are a la.'V, good fer nothln'lot. What's yer nam* V" "Sidney Trove." "Don't want ye." "Well, mister," said the boy, who was much In need of money, "I'll saw your wood for anything you've a mind to give me.".. "I'll give ye 50 cents a day," aaid the old man. Trove hesitated. The sum was barely balf wbat be <-ou' J earn, but he bad 1 given bis promise and fell to. Riley Brooke spent half the day watching .' nnd urging him to faster work. More than once tbe boy was near quitting, but kept bis good nature and a strong pace. When at last Brooke went away Trove beard a sly movement of the blinds and knew that other eyes were on the watch. He spent three days at the job—laming, wearisome days after eo long an absence from heavy toil. ''Waal, I suppose ye want money," Brooke snapped as tbe boy came to the door. "How much?" "One dollar and a half." "Too much, too much. I won't pay lt." "Tbat was the sum agreed upon." "Don't eare. Ye hain't earned no dollar an' a half. Here, take that an' clear out," having said which Brooke tossed some money at the boy and slammed the door In his fnce. Trove counted the money. It was a dollar and a quarter. He was sorely tempted to open the door and fling It back at him, but wisely kept his patience and walked away. It was the day before Christmas. Trove had planned to walk home thnt evening, but a storm bad come, drifting the snow deep, and be had to forego tbe visit. After supper he went to the Sign of the Dial. Tbe tinker was at home in his odd llttle shop and gave him n hearty welcome. Trove sat by 'the fire and told of the sawing for Riley Brooke. "God rest him!" said the tinker, thoughtfully puffing bis pipe. "Wbat would happen, think ye, if a man like ■ blm were let Into heaven?" "I cannot Imagine," said the boy. "Well, for one thing." said the tinker, "hie'd begin to look for chattels, an' I do fear me there'll soon be many without harps." "What is one to do with a man like that?" Trove inquired. "Only this," said the tinker —"put him in tby book. He'll make good history. But, sor, for company he's poor." "It's a new way to use men," aaid Trove. "Nay, an old way—a very old way. Often God makes an example o' rare malevolence an' seems to say, 'Look, despise and be anytblng but this.' Like Judas and Herod, he Is an excellent figure In a book. Put him In thine, boy." "And credit blm with full payment?" the boy nsked. "Long ago, praise God, there was a great teacher," said tbe old man. "It ls a day to think of blm. Return good ' for evil—those were bis words. We've never tried lt, an' I'd like to see how It may work. Tbe trial would be amusing if lt bore no better fruit." "Wbat do you propose?" "Well, say we take him a gift, with our best wishes," said tbe tinker. "If I can afford it," tbe boy replied. The tinker answered quickly: "Oh, I've always a little for a Christmas, an' I'll buy tbe gifts. Ah, boy, let's away for the gifts. We'll—we'll punish him with klndnesB." They went together and bought a pair of mittens and a warm mulller for Riley Brooke: and walked to his door with them and rapped'upon it. Brooke came to the door with a candle. "What d'ye want?" be demanded. "To wish you merry Christmas and present you gifts." said Trove. The old man raised his candle, surveying them with surprise and curiosity. "What gifts?" he Inquired In * milder "Well," said the boy, "we've brought you mittens aud a muffler." "Ha, ba! Yer consciences have smote ye!" said Brooke. "Glory to God, who brings the sinner to repentance!" "And Oils the bitter cup o' the ungrateful,'' said the tinker, and they Went away. "I'd like to bring one other gift," said Darrel. "What's that?" "God forgive me—a rope to hang html But mind thee, boy, we are try- "Un, hal Yer consciences hone smote ye!" Ing the law o' the Great Teacher, and let us see if we can learn to love this man." "Love Ulley Brooke?" said Trove doubtfully. "A great achievement. I grant thee," said the tinker, "for if we can love him we shall be able to love anybody. Let us try an' see wbat comes of It." A man was waiting for Darrel at the foot of the old stairs—a tall man, poorly dressed, whom Trove bad not seen before and whom now be was not able to see clearly in the darkness. "The mare is ready," snid Darrel. " 'Tis a dark night." He to whom the tinker bad spoken made no answer. "Good night," said the tinker, turning. "A Merry Christmas to thee, boy, an' peace an' plenty." "I have peace, and you have given me plenty to Ihink about," said Trove. On bis way borne tbe boy thought of the stranger at tbe stairs, wondering lf he were the otber tinker of whom Darrel bad told bim. At bis lodging he found a new pair of boots with only the Christmas greeting on a card. "Well," said Trove, already merrier than most of far better fortune, "he must have been somebody tbat knew my needs." CHAPTER VII. THE clock tinker was off In Ihe snow paths every other week. In more tban a hundred homes, scattered far along road lines of tbe great valley, be set the pace of the pendulums. Every winter the mare was rented for easy driving and Darrel made bis journeys afoot. Twice a day Trove passed the little shop, and If there were a chalk mark on the dial be bounded upstairs to greet bis friend. Sometimes be brought another boy into the rare atmosphere of the clock shop—one, may- hop, wbo needed some counsel of tbe wise old man. Spring bad come again. Every day sowers walked the hills and valleys around Hillsborough, tbelr hands swinging with a godlike gesture that summoned the dead to rise. Everywhere was tbe odor of broken field or garden. Night had come again after a day of magic sunlight, and soon after 8 o'clock Trove was at the door of the tinker, with a schoolmate. "How are you?" said Trove, as Darrel opened the door. "Better for the sight o' you," said the old man promptly. "Enter, Sidney Trove, nnd another young gentleman." The boys took the two chairs offered them in silence. "Kind sor," the tinker added, turning to Trove, "thou bast tby cue. Give us tbe lines'." "Pardon me," said-, tbe boy. "Mr. Darrel, my friend Richard Kent." "Of the academy?" s«:d Darrel as he held to the bnnd of Kent. "Of the academy," said Trove. "An', I make no doubt, o' good hope," the tinker added. "Let me stop one o' the clocks, so I may not forget the hour o' meeting a new friend." Darrel crossed the room and stopped a pendulum. "He would like to join thla night Bchool of onrs," Trove answered. "Would he?" said the tinker. "Well, lt- ia one e' bard lessons. When ye come t' multiply love by experience, an' subtract vanity an' add peace, an' square the remainder, an' then divide by the number o' days in thy life, lt is a mighty problem, an' the result may be much or little, an* ye reach lt"- He paused a moment, thoughtfully puffing tbe smoke. "Not In this term o' school," he added impressively. All were silent a llttle time. "Where have you been?" Trove inquired presently. "Home," said the old man. There was a puzzled look on Trove's t*fe. "Home?" he repeated with a voice of inquiry. "I have, sor," the clock tinker went on. "This poor shelter is not me home. It's only for a night now an' then. I've a grand house an' many servants an' a garden, sor, where there be flowers- lovely flowers—an' sunlight an' noble music. Believe me, boy, 'tis enough to make one think o' heaven." "I did not know of it," said Trove. "Know ye not there is a country in easy reach of us with fair fields an' proud cities an' many people an' all delights, boy, ell delights? There I hope thou shalt found a city thyself an' build it well so nothing shall overthrow It—flre, nor flood, nor the slow siege o' years." "Where?" Trove Inquired eagerly. "In the Blessed Isles, boy, in the Blessed Isles. Imagine the Infinite sea o' time tbat is behind us. Stand high an' look back over Its dead level. King an' empire an' all their striving multitudes aVe sunk ln the mighty deep. But thou shalt see rising out of It tbe Blessed Isles of imagination. Green- forever green are tbey—and scattered far into the dim distance. Look! There is tbe city o' Shakespeare—Norman towers an' battlements an' gotblc arches looming above the sea. Go there an' look at the people as they eome'au' go. Mingle with tbem an' tiud good company—merry hearted folk a-plenty,, nn' Guil knows 1 love tbe merry hearted! Talk witb tbem, au' the." will teach thee wisdom. Hard by is the Isle of Milton, an' beyond are many. It would take thee years to visit them. Ah, sor, balf me time I live in the Blessed Isles." "Let's go to the Isle o' Milton." Trove suggested. "Well, go to one o' the clocks there an' set It bnck," snld the tinker. "How much?" Trove Inquired, with a puzzled look. "Well, a matter o' 200 years," said Darrel^ who was now turning tbe leaves. "List ye. boy. We're up to the shore an' hard by the city gates. How sweet the air o' this enchanted Isle! "And west winds with mugky wing Down the cedarn alleys fling: Nard and c^sia's balmy smells." He quoted, thought fully, turning the leaves; then he read the shorter poems, a score of them, bis voice sounding the noble music of the lines. It was revelation for those raw youths and led them high. They forgot the passlug of tbe hours and till near midnight were as those gone to a strange country, aud they lone remembered that night with Darrel of the Blessed Isles. (To Be Continued.) Saving ths Babies. When Alderman Broadbent, a brother of the King's well-known physio- ian, took office as Mayor of Hudders- fleld, on November 9, 1904, he offered t.i give parents living in a specified district of the city $5 for every child born during his twelve months in office and which lived to the age of a year. The result of the experiment wea announced, the second anniversary of its inauguration. The rate of infant mortality in the Longwood diatrict of Huddersfield, which is the experimental area, had averaged 122 per thousand for the preceding ten years. The period of the test proved somewhat unfortunate. There were serious epidemics of whooping cough and measles, while the summer of 1906 was one of the deadliest recorded. The first baby to earn the gift was born on November 10, 1904, and the last on November 8, 1905. The mothers notified the managing committee of the births of these babies. No fewer than 107 received the gift. Four died and one did not claim the gift and its fate cannot be learned. If, however, it is reckoned as dead the average mortality works out 44 per thousand as compared with tlie previous 122 per thousand. * Mr. Broadbent in announcing the result at the Borough Council said this reduction in the average to less thari one-half of what it had been was astounding. His promise of the gift of $:i was intended as a stimulus to maternal affection, but to prove his desire to help mothers this waa done through a committee of volunteer women workers who undertook to advise and assist the parents if they so desired. The babies belonged to all classes and there was no discrimination. Some lived in places which were hardly neuter than slums.

Davy made his epochal experiment of melting Ice by friction wben but twenty. Young was no, older wben be made his first communication to the •Royal society and was In his twenty- seventh year when he flrst nctlvely espoused the undulatory theory.

William Thomson was a youth Just past bis majority when he came to the aid of Joule before the British society and but seven years older when he formulated his own doctrine of dissipation of energy. And Clauslus and Ranklne. who are usually mentioned with Thomson as the great developers of thermo-dy-" namlcs, were both far advanced with their novel studies before they were thirty.

Carpenter, of Oil har Will Compare With Occidental.. In judging the performance of the native Chinese workman It la almost Impossible to avoid the popular blaa that addiction to their own methods end tools invariably bespeaks famous conservatism. Though thla ls ln many cases true. It --ill often be found on careful obse: in that what has passed for a stub. . ,i blindness to the virtue of Innovation Is In reality a keener perception of comparative merits than the judge himself waa aware of. - Thla is particularly true of Chinese carpenters. While most of their com. moneat toola differ In aome radical way from our own, It la never safe to assume the superiority of the western product. Their small ax, for example, Is a beautifully balanced tool, and they are remarkably adept lu the use of It, being able to work aa true a surface therewith as can be obtained with an adz ln the hands of the white man. On heavy work It la customary for two to hew together on opposite sides, striking alternate blows. Both hands are used, and the recover Is over the shoulder, alternate right and left There Is a freedom of swing with an accuracy of delivery that is a treat to watch, and the rapidity of blows ls almost bewildering. The Great Bastard. The great bustard (Otis tarda), a bird still found In the southern provinces of Russia, Is tbe heaviest European fowl. In size It exceeds the Norwegian blackcock. Tbe old males attain a weight of thirty-five pounds, and where food Is plentiful specimens weighing thirty- eight pounds and even forty pounds have been captured. These birds have disappeared from western Europe, where once tbey were almost as numerous as partridges, and are seen only ln small flocks In the' sand hills skirting tbe lower valley of tbe Dnieper and here and there along the north coast of the Caspian. The hen lays eggs aa big aa ordinary pears. A larger and heavier bird, tbe cassowary, Is Incapable of flight, but It can kick with tbe strength of a mule and uses the sharp, bony quills of its wings aa a cock uses his spurs. Granted In Advaae*. . The young doctor who had lately settled ln Shrubvllle had ample opportunities to learn humility If nothing else ln his chosen field. One day be waa balled by an elderly man, wbo requested him to step ln and see hia wife, who waa ailing. At the close of his visit the young doctor asked for a private word with the man. "Your wife's case Is somewhat complicated," be said, "and with your permission I should like to call the Brook- field physician ln consultation." "Permission!" echoed the man Indignantly. "I told her I knew she ought to have a good doctor, but she waa afraid you'd be offended lf she did." "Paradl.e I,o«t." Milton's "Paradise Lost" was commenced between 1039 and 1642 and completed about the time of the "great flre of London" In September, 1606. Its author composed It ln passages of from ten to twenty lines at a time and then dictated them to an amanuensis, usually some attached friend. It was flrst published In 1067 by one Samuel Simmons, and a second edition appeared In 1674. For these two editions Milton received £10 nnd his widow £8 more.—London Graphic. At one time during the life of John Bright there were no fewer than seven members of bis family with seats ln the house of commons. What the Varlona Conntrle. of Ha- rope Allow For Their Lo... The different fingers are far from, having the same value in tbe eyes of the law with reference to their functional utilization. Much tbe most Important la the thumb, for without tt prehension would be very Imperfect. The hand la no longer pinchers, but merely a claw, when deprived of the thumb. It may be estimated that the thumb represents fully a third of the total value of tbe hand. The French courts allow 15 to 35 per cent value for the right band and 10 to 15 for the left The Austrian schedule gives from 15 per cent for the left to 25 per cent for the right. In Germany 20 and 28 per cent and even as high as 33.3 per cent bas been awarded. The percentage ls based on 100 aa the total Industrial value of the hand previous to the accident, a loss of 50 per cent representing half of the value, etc. The total loss of the Index finger causes an Incapacity estimated at 10 to 15 per cent in Austria, 16 to 20 per cent ln Germany, 15 per cent for the left and 20 per cent for the right by Italian courts. Tbe French allow 15 per cent The middle linger Is of much more Importance than the Index, states Dr. Melguan, whom we are citing and who la no email authority, for a great loss of force Is observed ln the hand when the finger Is amputated. Yet almost all the authorities ascribe leas Importance to It than the Index. The Italian law allows 5 per cent, the Austrian & to 10 per cent. The ring finger ls the least Important Its total loss often does not cause Incapacity. The Austrian tariff assimilates this finger to the middle one. The' Italian law la liberal, with 8 per cent The French and German tribunals often refuse Indemnity, considering the Incapacity resulting from the loea ae very slight The llttle finger may be compared to the ring, except in the professions In which It serves as a point of support for the hand. It may be remarked here that the artist has not been taken Into consideration ln these cases. INSECT SUPERSTITIONS. The Koran says all flies shall perish with the exception of one, tbe bee fly. It ls regarded as a death warning In Germany to hear a crlcket'a cry ln tbe night The Tapuya Indians of South America assert that the devil assumes the shape of a fly. The grasshoppers are aaid to forewarn people In Germany of the visit* of strange guests. The Spaniards ln tbe sixteenth century thought that spiders indicated the existence of gold wherever tbey were In abundance. Although a sacred insect among the Egyptians, the beetle receives llttle notice ln folklore. It Is unlucky in England to kill one. The ancients believed that there waa a close connection between bee* and the soul. An old Welsh tradition ie that bees came from paradise, leaving the garden when man fell, but with God'e blessing, so that the wax is neos essary ln tbe celebration of the mass. Tha Clock'a Tick. "Not all people," aaid the Jeweler, "like the ticking of a clock. It ls • pleasant sound to most people, but not to all. Some people, clock lovers these, couldn't Bleep without a clock ln the same room. Its ticking is company, and lt scares away tbe spooks. Such people would wake up lf the clock should stop ln the middle of the nlgbt But there are other people who can't sleep with a clock In the same room and who, lf they found themselves ln a strange place anywhere with a clock ln their sleeping apartment would stop the clock'before they went to bed. Of course there ls much of habit In this, but we have onr fancies about clocks, aa we do about all things else.** AU Oat mt tho Iwn Ba-roL Three Americans traveling In the French provinces thought at dinner that they would go a little higher than the vln ordinaire Included in their three franc table d'hote, and accordingly one ordered a bottle of Margaux, the second ordered Pontet Canet, and the third ordered HautBrlon.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA. #j-_-*t_'-_*A****;__--^^ | WESTERN CANADIAN EDITORS * 3 2 A Series of Articles Describing their Lives, their Alms and their Influence. GEO. P. MINAKEft. 60 t* **»-r*ir»''4 *'«_■* ***rr*;*r*-v4'r** GEO. P. MINAKER Managing Editor of the "Gladstone A_.e" There is an attraction about newspaper life that draws many men, who, though they hnve never been actually connected with any publication, have had the inclination since their early yenrs to wield a pen in a position where the wielding' would see the light of day, giving the writer an opportunity to advocate the principles of progress and enlightenment which lie feels within him. It goes without saying that any mnn who has an honest inclination for the newspaper life is a man of good principles; an honest man fears no publicity, and is willing to stand up for that which is good, therefore, we say, a man who has a standing desire to enter the newspaper arena never does so with the idea of lowering the newspaper ideals, but with the idea of adding his individuality to the efforts of hiB brethren of the fourth estate, to the end that something may be done for the general good of mankind. Many men have lived their allotted span with tliis desire always beckoning them, and yet lack the opportunity to gratify their ambition, while others identify themselves with the profession after their years would indicate approaching middle age, and by their aptitude and energy, make it a success from the start. Of thin number is the subject of our sketch, Mr. Geo. P. Minaker, editor and manager of the Gladstone Age, who has made a record in the business of •which he may feel supremely satisfied. Since taking the "Age" office in hand just a year ago, he has almost doubled the business, and has also conducted the paper in such a manner that it has made a secure place for itself in the regard of its subscribers. Of its future success there is not a shadow of doubt. Mr. Minaker, was born in Cobourg, Ontario, on Decern ber 26. 1862. He was educated in the public schools of that thriving manufacturing town, and completed his school education in the Collegiate Institute at the same place. At the age of eighteen he started in the mercantile business, came west to Gladstone in 1898 and was in the employ of the well known firm of Galloway Bros, for about seven years, leaving this to occupy the editorial chair. He litis associated with him him in this venture Mr. Y—.11, now principal of the public schools at Neepswa, a man whom we hopo to see drawn Into active newspaper work at some , me. Mr. Minaker was married in 1884 to Miss Anna T. Lazier, of Belleville, and the happy union has been blessed with five children, the oldest now a young lady of twenty years. He is secretary of the Hoard of Trade at Gladstone, and fills the position to the satisfaction of his business associates, is a Freemason and a Methodist, and withal is a man of such modesty that it has been difficult to get him to divulge sufficient information to produce this sketch, which we only fear does not do him full justice. Mr. Minaker's efforts for the public weal are appreciated by his many subscribers, and we hope he may enjoy health and long life to pursue his chosen occupation. THE'EVILS OF SPECIALIST SAYS WOMEN IN PARTICULAR ARE SUFFERERS Why Bileans Prove So Beneficial A medical specialist states that eight out of ten cases of headache, dizziness, sallow complexion, and various ailments peculiar to women for which he is consulted have their origin in constipation. Although this ailment is very common amongst both sexes, women appear to be the greater sufferers. Bileans cure constipation by stimulating the liver and iemulating the bile flow. Bile is the natural purgative of the body. Bi- leaps regulates its secretion. Mrs. S. E. Baldwin, of 38 _k Paul Street, Toronto, says: "1 have take_ Bileans for c nstipation and dizziness and found most satisfactory results. Bileans do not cause any griping, and not only cure constipation but also improve.the general health." Mr. A. Monaghan, of Berlin, recently proved this vegetable remedy in a similar, way. He says: "For hrany years I suffered from both constipation and piles. Nothing I have ever tried is to be compared for beneficial result to Bileans. They havt made me a different man, and if any sufferer would like to ask me any question on their operation and their value I will be glad to give all the information I can." Such is the result of exhaustive tests of Bileans. This great vegetable remedy is invaluable also for sallow complexions (due to bile in the blood), pimples, greasy, sallow skin, and blood impurit'ei generally. Bileans also, cure indigestion, debility, rheumatism, anemia, female ailmen' and irregularities, "run-down teel- iiies," liver and kidney complaint, Headache, sleeplessness, wind spasms, palpitation, etc. All druggists sell at 50c a box, or obtainable poBt free from the Bilean Co., Toronto, upon receipt of price.

DAILY FADING AWAY The Story of ?. Woman Made Well by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Bad blood means bad health. That is why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills mean good health. They actually make new, rich blood which strengthens every nerve and every, organ in the body. That is why people who use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills feel bright, active and strong. Mrs. Arthur Hanningan, Marshville, Ont., is a witness to the truth of these statements. Mrs. Hanningan says: "For nearly three years I suffered from anaemia (bloodlessness) and during that time consulted and took medicine from several doctors, without beneficial results. My complexion was of a waxy appearance, my lips and gums seemed bloodless. I suffered from headches, dizziness and palpitation of the heart. My appetite was so poor that I did not care whether I ate or not and I grew so weak, and was so much reduced in flesh that my friends thought I was in consumption. As I have said I doctored without benefit, until the last doctor whom I consulted adviB- ed me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I followed his advice, and less than a dozen boxes have made me the well woman I am today. All the symptoms of my troubles have vanished and I enjoy the best of health. I know there are hundreds of women who are drifting into the same condition I was, and to all such I would strongly urge the immediate use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills/' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do not act upon the bowels; they do not tinker with mere symptoms; they go right to the root of the trouble in the blood. That is why they cure common ailments like rheumatism, neuralgia, kidney trouble, headaches and backaches.

Mr. Raoul Ftlon, 116 Bae Notr<f Da pie, I—chine, P.Q., Can., writes: ' "I write you a few words to express to . you my satisfaction at being cured. ' I was afflicted with catarrh of the throat and nose and suffered much. I was creatl.v discouraged. I had a'bad breath -and bad taste in my mouth in the morning. "I took treatment for some time without obtaining relief. At the advice . of friends I tried Peruna and tiie results have been highly satisfactory. At the en1 of four months I was completely cured." Neglected catarrh becomes chronic. Having developed into the chronic stage, a longer and more persistent treatment will be required to cure it than if the disease were treated at the onset. •However, Peruna will bring relief, whether the, catarrh is acute or chronic. If -you are wise you v. ill keep Peruna on 'hand and take a few -doses at the first 'appearance of a cold or cough, and thus -save yourself both suffering and expense.

If you have a baby or young children in the home always keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets on hand. Dcn't wait until the little one is .sick, for sometimes an hour's delay may prove fatal.

The Tablets nre good for children of all ages and are guaranteed to contain no opiate or harmful drug. Mrs. Joseph Ross, Hawthorne, Ont., says: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets and i find them just the thing to keep chil-j dren well.

A grammarian was talking aboul grammatical slips that, through their magnitude, merited immortality. "There is one sentence," he said, J "that has lived for n hundred years on account of its tremendous incorrectness. In this sentence every word, every sing'.e ivord, is ungrammatical. It's hard to beat that, isn't it? "The sentence was spoken by a little girl in a sheep pasture. Looking at the flocks, she said to the shepherd : " 'Is them sheeps youni?" "This sentence, with every word m- eorioct, holds the record in its class." Johnson's Liberties With Alphabet. Those who are readiest to condemn as "scornful innovations" or "Americanisms" various suggestions for an altered orothography are apt to forget how arbitrary the greatest of English dictionary makers occasionally was in his choice between variant spellings. It was Dr. .Tohnson who added the "k" to "musick" and "rhetorick" and "physick," which before his day were more commonly spelled as we spell them now. "Labor" and "honor" and "favOr" irritate many readers, who style them Americanisms. But it was Dr. Johnson who introduced the unnecessary, thought perhaps, rather more graceful "u." and who wrote, in addition, "authour" and "errour" and "governour." The last spelling has only dropped out of the English Prayer Book in the twentieth century. How many church-goers have noticed tho change?—London Spectator. . The Petticoat Peril.

OBSTINATE FACESORES INFUSED TO CLOSE FOR 4 YEARS Zam-Buk Healed Them Inside Two Weeks. Have you some emption, or sore, or. ulcer, or wound, on any part of your body'whicli has hitherto ^refused to close, no matter how treated ? If so, that is a case for Zam-Buk the great herbal balm. The herbal saps and essences in this balm are so powerful that they can heal the worst cases of chronic sores, ulcerB, blood poison and skin diseases. Here are proofs of this: Mrs. W. H. Taylor, of North" Bat. Ont.. says: "I hnd a scaly spot ns big ns a ten cent, piece .on nuy face. I had it for four years, and. -hardly a night during that time wCnt by but what I applied' cold eream. • or some ointment 'or otlier, but it would always- be there. I recently applied Zam-Buk, and in about a week's time the spot hnd disappeared completely.» I cannot thank you enough for your remedy, and I toll everyone to be sure and keep Zam- Buk in their house." ' Mrs. _S. J. Holden, of 3<? West Hnnnali St., Hamilton, says: "My little girl had a running sore on her leg which defied all treatment. 1 applied Zam-Buk. and iri about a week's time the wound was closed. I have found Zam-Buk just ns good for other skin troubles nntl injuries." • Mr. J. H. Hamilton, of Thombury snvs: "The first Zam-Ruk I obtained wns for a friend who had nn ob stinate sore on her temple. It had been treated once or twice by a doctor, and would heal up for a short time, but would break ont again. *am-Buk healed it permanently, and it shows no sign whatever of return ine." Similar grateful testimony is to hand from men and women in all parts of Canada. Zam-Buk is a sure cure for all skin diseases and injuries, such ns cuts, burns, bruises, eczema, psoriasis, ulcers, senlp sores, cold sores, chapped hands, itch, rashes, tetter, face sores, etc. It is also an unequalled embrocation, and rubbed well on to parts affected cures rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, colds on chest, etc. All druggists sell at 50c a box, or mny be obtained post free from Znm-Buk Co., Toronto, upon receipt of price. Six boxes for $2.50. The sudden lowering of the tjmpei- atiue onuses the pores of the skin to close, nnd thus throws on to . the kidneys much work which is ordinarily performed by the skin. This, no doubt, accounts for the great prevalence of kidney disease during the fall and winter. ' There is no' treatment which bo quickly affords relief to overworked and deranged kidneys as Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver. Pills, because thev act oh the liver, as well as thev k.d'ievs. 1 and when in healthful action the | liver does much of the work of filtering the blood,Whicli is.otherwise left for die kidneys. Bright's Disease, dropsy, uric acid poisoning, stone iii the-bladder, and rheumatism are among the no:t painful forms of kidney disease, and these ailments can always be prevented by the timely use of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. They can also usually be cured by this treatment, but if you are so fortunate ns to be yet free of these dreadful ailments, keep so by ' using Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills to keep the liver, kidneys and bowels in healthful working condition. Mr. James J. Jenson, Olds, Alta., writes: "I have been troubled considerably (frith lame bnck, which I suppose ciime from derangements of the kidneys, and I have never been able to find n treatment that was so prompt and effective in curing this ailment as Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. At two different times in my. life this preparation has entirely cured me of this trouble, and of late years I have found it unnecessary to use any medicine whatever.

Qwr'JiB/'ns By DorotBy TuJce IN small houses there seems very little room for bookcases. The walls are so broken uo with doors and windows that the few feet of wall .pace remaining ls needed for the necessary pieces of furniture, such as tables, i pianos, sofas or desks. And yet, with Just a little careful planning and contriving, room could probablv be made i'or a hundred books. First, consider the mantelpiece. This often affords great opportunity for little book shelves, to be built on either side, and also above It. And how cozy this is, for what Is more homelike and Inviting than books and a lire? Besides, an ugly mantel can often be completely transformed ln this way. Now turn your attention to the window. If the window sill ls not less thai two or three feet from i.ie ground,-the ledge can be extended and bookshelves built beneath it. One of the accompanying illustrations shows a window done In this way. Sometimes dry shelves can be built with great effect about a door or window. They should not be more than nine ot ten inches wide. Books should be put on the shelves on either side of the door or window, and pottersr placed on the shelf across the top. A cozy corner can have shelves built above it, but take care that they are high enough, so that you will not bump your head against them, and also that they are firmly put up and cannot topple down on some unsuspecting person. The old-fashioned hanging shelves are pretty and also economizers of space. These look particularly well just above i desk or writing t.iWe. Some of ib- ', prettiest effects can be.had with Iitt!_ ;, bookcases that stand out In the room. A bookcase like the sketch shown is adorable just beside a big, easy chair, and, with some well-chosen books on Its shelves and a plant or vase of flowers - On tne top. gives a delightful touch of color to the room. .;A valuable collection of books sjiouid. of course, be kept In bookcases with .glass doors to protect them from the- dust; but, unless Ihey are particularly . good ones, shelves without doors are the 'most decorative, as the colors of the *N books show up better. , If the shelves •' have little curtains on them, which can be drawn logether when the room is not _ being ' used or at sweeping time, the books will keep fresh and clean for ex. long time. Curtains can improve a room. . very much if ihey are. of soft material, which hangs In pretty folds, and of rich- harmonious colorings. There are lota of delightful things to be had in tha shops, and .tt ridiculously small prices. Cotton pongee, cotton crepe, mercerize — cotton, sateen and eolienne are all pretty and suitable for bookcase curtains, and not one of them costs more than 25 ctnis a yard. i IMPROVISED BOOKCASES It Is often prettier and cheaper to have bookcases with curtains, because when curtains are used very cheap - shelves can be put up. In fact, an operate, wilh three or four shelves put In it, when siained, answers the purposo beautifully. Or several soap boxes can be piled together, in one way or another, and siained. When curtained, they look most imposing, so much so that no one would dare to breathe ot their humble oiigln. Theie is much lhat can be said on tbe arrangement uf books, regarding their contents, size and coloring, but I shall, only touch on this subject, and suggest that when arranging a shelf of books, you take care not to put one bright yellow one among a row of deep reds or browns. It would be too glaring and conspicuous. We should not be able to notice any one book more than another.; They should all be a background. And! so if there must be a bright yellow onel ln the row, lead up to it with sofct greens and tans, so that tt cannot pro-,, claim itself above all the others. Few« realize what a' factor books can be to a- room in their coloring as well as theIri oractlcal value. ARRANGEMENT OF PIANOS PROMPTNESS AND POLITENESS lustrations shows a beautiful stenelle piano back. It will be readily seen tha such a back as this in rich harmonizing - colors would add much to a room. Often a piano can be placed at ii_.'n angles to a door. This gives a dcllg.il ful little touch of privacy to a roort Sometimes It can be set out In the mid die of a long room and so break It u In a pleasing manner. There are i I variety of ways of placing a plant treated In this way. but tne poslticl must be governed by the light and b the heat, for the sake of the piano, ai well as by where lt looks best. A square piano should be place* across a corner,- or In a bay window s that Its squareness cannot make Itsel too much felt.

It is only nutte lately that ..ttempts have been made to treat the f.lano aesthetically Borne of the at- I mpts are undoubted.y Improvements tn the old form, but even better developments are hoped for.

If .you accept, let nothing short of your ■ death prevent your going, and if you die, arrange for a substitute in yoUr will. Whatever you do — for heaven's sake be prompt ln the doing!" - ' . Along the same lines was a note re* celved by a certain Washington hostess from the valet ot an attache of one of the legations. "M. -' regrets that he can not cbme to Mrs. D's dinner—but he died last night!" Now a funeral in the family Is usually accepted as a very good reason for not doing anything; but little short of one can excuse a lack of punctuality in matters social. Whatever you are, be prompt! A few years back It was considered rather a nice thing to come in just a little late. Girls going to balls spoke with pride of being among the last arrivals. Novelists who would chronicle the doings of the smart set, got into the fash- Ion of opening their choicest chapters, with a vision of the hostess, and those of her guests who were underbred or unfortunate enough to have arrtveo on! time, sitting in dejected state, awaiting the honored guest of the evening, who always made It a point to appear just fifteen minutes after the hour set in the card of invitation—but "we have changed all that!" ■ Punctuality, the politeness of kings.

Coolidge Copyright. IMS, by A. 6. Barnes _ Co. OF ALL the contagious diseases, measles Is perhaps the most likely to be contracted if the baby Is exposed. After the exposure generally ten or fourteen days elapse before the first symptoms appear. The flrst thing noticed usually by the mother ls that the child seems to have a bad cold; he sneezes and coughs, his eyes will often be quite inflamed and a watery discharge will come from both eyes and nose; there ls usually also some fever and fretfulness. It Is at thjs stage of the disease that other children are most apt to contract H—in fact, nine out of every ten will take the disease if exposed at this time. If a doctor Is now called In, he will often be able to see little spots In the mouth, which appear befdre the rash on the body can be seen. These spots will confirm the diagnosis and are often of great value for this reason. Generally by the fourth day the rash is seen, first on "ie face, which appears unite swollen; then the neck, from where it rapidly spreads to all parts of the body. This rash is bright red and in blotches,leaving little crescent-shaped areas of white skin between the patcfiee: it is a little raised above the surface o! the skin, and usually remains at J'j height about three days; then It begli « ta fade, leaving first the face, where iv begun, and then the rest ei the body, sf that after three days more It can hardly be seen. Just before and while the rash Is out the fever Is often quite high, and the child feels very sick; but as it fades the fever grows less, and the baby ls more comfortable. Next the skin begins to peel off in very fine scales like bran. The child should be kept away from all other children at least two weeks after all peeling has ceased. This Is the usual picture that measles presents; but there are forms much more severe and again other forms are lighter, the rash being faint and only out for a few hours. The treatment of an uncomplicated case of measles is simple The child should be at once Isolated as soon as the disease can possibly be diagnosed; he should be put to bed. and kept warm but not hot. The room should be kept at an even temperature of 70 to 72 degrees P.; but plenty of fresh air should be allowed to enter, for nothing is worse than a close sick room. The light should bo subdued on account of the inflammation of the baby's eyes. While the fever lasts the usual food should be diluted one-half, and then strength very gradually increased until the baby Is again taking his usual formula. Great care should be taken of the eyes and mouth. They should be washed three or four times a day vrith a saturated solution of boric acid. Every day the baby should have a warm sponge bath (given under cover of a blanket), and then be rubbed all over with vaseline. This will help to allay the Itching which ls often present, and also prevent the Bcales of skin from flying about. lf the child Is exceedingly restless and has a very high fever, an ice cap should be placed on his head and a lillle alcohol added to the water with which he is sponged. The room in which a tflby Is isolated during a contagious dlsei.se should be large, bright and airy, having an open fireplace If possible. If 1'ie room has no paper oh the walls, so much the better. It should have no carpet on the floor or any upholstered furniture of any kind, nor any other unnecessary articles which cannot be destroyed when the disecse is over. Only the doctor and the people who take cere of the baby should be allowed in the room, and they should wear cotton clothing. It is milch wiser not to al-' low the mother or nurse to mingle with the rest of the family In any wuy; but when a mother must do her own housework as well as take care of the sick baby, she cannot be absolutely isolated. While in the sick room she should wear a large cap which completely covers her hair, and a cotton garment of some kind that can be easily slipped on and off. A long linen duster Is often convenient. These should be kept at the door of the sick room and worn while In the room only. S)ie should also carefully wash her face and hands before leaving the room. The other children in llie family should not be sent to school OUT in a certain little suburban railroad station Is a small room built under the1 train shed, probably for the storing of an excess of luggage, or for certain classes of express packages. But once a wefck during flower season that room i_f put to another use, as passengers' who flash past the station in morning trains can testify. The flower mission is at work. Since early morning the girls have been at work scouring the fields for all sorts ot hardy flowers—the "weeds" the farmers despise are to be the glory cf hospital and, tenement. About 10 o'clock they meet in that little room of the, train shed, its sliding doors pulled Wide open. In there the work is thoroughly systematized. One girl sorts flowers, putting the different groups into pails of water until the bouquets can be made up, and then replacing them with the finished bunches. One girl cuts cord into comfortable lengths—there's no frantic grabbing after scissors, no wasting of time In waiting turns—antl goes over the bunches as they leave each girl's hands, trimming off, any dangling ends of string. , All the rest make bouquets as if for i dear life. > . Cheer for the Sick And, as they are girls and young and healthy enough to have a little harmless vanity, they make quaint pictures of themselves for their work, putting on great aprons, contrived after irtistB' Ideas, and, rolling their sleeves up, showing arms coated with healthy tan. As soon as ever the flowers are tied up they are packed, damp and dripping, 'in huge, pasteboard boxes or ln hampers and are safely seen on board the train headed for the heart of town. At the other end is nnother group waiting to pounce upon those hampers. Each Is armed with a basket; the bunoties are quickly divided, and the work of distribution is begun. Certain girls make for the hospitals— ;it's doubly hard to be sick in hot .weather, and a breath of the fields la like a tonic. Through the wards they go, giving a cheery word with each bunch. Others make for the slums, and their presence has a rrtaglcal effect, for children, apparently from nowhere, fill a street in a few moments, clamoring for. "just one flower." Not Enough to Oo Around: There are not nearly enough to.gji round—there never has been—yet flelde and gardens are full of wasting bloom,' and country and mountain resorts are. blooming with young girls whose wort it should be. For the past few years an effort has been made to have the idea of the flower mission broaden to take in all the llttle outdoor things that are the treasures of childhood. Shells ami birds' nests, and' lichens; milk-weed pods and cat-tails; flower seeds, pine cones—a hundred antl one things that nre wonderful gifts to make children starving for outdoors and its hallmarks, and yet which are to be had, by you, for the taking on your vacation. A man who discovered the famous, "walking fern" while on a two days' rest In the mountains, took up roots, packed them In wet moss and carried them down to the city for three or four fern enthusiasts. Being a fairly rare variety, his gift wns received eagerly. It seems tt little thing to do to keep eyes and ears open for an opportunity to pass a bit of nature on to some one who can't otherwise have It. But It bears its own reward, not only in an ethical way from the consclousriss of having helped some one, but from the added interest and knowledge gained by the acquired habit of noticing. If the work of distributing proves too- great an undertaking, the "treasures" can he sent to public school kindergartens, to settlement schools and to the various homes for settlement workers. Being Ready for Any emergency SO—EBCDY with a genius for refor matlon ought to eome along nnd establish a training school with a course in getting ready—nnt for uny particular thing, but Just for the emergencies that will crop out. Every now and then you happen on some one self-taught In lhat wny—some one who Is always ready, no mntter what comes up. Back ln our history stand out vividly the figures of "minute men." We need ropro of them In present-day life to be ready for the great emergencies thut so often find men wanting.
