IT was early May and a bright morning In Hlilsborough. There were lines of stores and houses on either side of the main thoroughfare from tlie river to Moosehead Inn, a long, low white building tbat faced the public square. Hunters coming off Its verunda and gazing down the Btreet, as if sighting over gun barrels at the bridge, were wont to reckon the distance "nigh on to forty rod." There were "Boston Stores" and "Great Emporiums" and shops, modest ns they were small, ln that forty rods of Hillsborough. Midway was a little white building, Its eaves within reach of one's band, its gable on the line of the sidewalk overhanging which, from a crane above the door, was a big golden j spool. In Its two windows were lace and ribbons and ladies' hats and spools ' of thread, and blue shades drawn high I from 7 o'clock In the morning nntil dark. It was the little shop of Ruth Tole, n house of fate on the way from I happening to history. There secrets, | travel worn, were nourished awhile and sent on their way; reputations were made over and often trimmed with excellent taste and discrimination. Ruth Tole was behind the counter, sorting threads. She was a maiden of middle life and severe countenance, of few and decisive words. The door of the llttle shop was ajar, and near it a woman was knitting. Sbe had a position favorable for eye and ear. She could see all who passed on either side of the way and not a word or move in the shop escaped her. In tbe sisterhood she bore the familiar name British Government had considerable' responsibility for it, and there wns ample evidence that things had gone sipnallv ill. Dr. Talbot went on to allude to t^e suppression of the evidence of the- royal commission, nnd directed rt- tention to the facts contnined in Mr. Morel's book on "Red Rubber: Th<* Story of the Slave Trade on the Congo." No doubt a condition the met barbarous and terrible existed. To- pet a certain amount of rubber out of the noor natives, the most horrihto methodp had been resorted to. suc'i as cutting off the hands, and thens- was a great system of hostages, theae- hostages being largely women. No. resDonsibility rested npon Belgium itself in the matter. If all the power* were keen about it. a verv summary result, he said, could be obtained. The Bishoo of Bath and Wells sni* the Free Church Council, to their* honor, had been far before the Chnre"-). of Eneland in trving to arouse public attention, but this might be parti" explained bv the existence of so many Baptist missionary stations, frond which information had come. Described as an Abomination. The Bishop of Birmingham spoke irr general support of what had fallen from the Bishop of Southwark. and1 the Bishop of London pleaded for increased British consular representation in tha Congo Free State. Thev oright to be prepared to back np the- Government in any further sten which they might wish to take with the view- to wiping away this abomination- from the face of the earth. The Primate, in summing up the> debate, said the House had rlisehan.- ed an imperative duty in calling attention to well-established facts. In the last decade we seemed to hava- fal'.en into something which rivaled if it did not exceed, the horrors of the old slave trade. He could not suggest what diplomatic action should? be taken, but they desired the country to know that they cared so much- about this matter that they did not intend to let it alone. BEAUTY HINTS. Hands may be whitened most noticeably by rubbing them thoroughly three nights ln succession wltb sweet almond oil and tben dusting them well with as much fine chalk as they will retain. A good bath for tired, swollen feet is to bathe tbe feet ln a bath with alum, ounce; rock snlt two ounces; borax, two ounces. Use one teaspoonful to each quart of water. Bathe the feet in this water every night for a week. Sleeping with tbe hand under the face Induces wrinkles, and retiring at i\|ght with the fuce grimy with soil tbat naturally accumulates on It during the day induces a muddy complexion and the formation of blackheads. Glycerin should always be diluted with rose, orange or elder flower water or even rain water if others are not within convenient reach. If when diluted the mixture Irritates the skin, producing a burning sensation, discontinue its use at once and substitute for it almond oil. Sadly Mercenary. "Why are you so eager for fame?" asked the Idealist. "Because," answered the active man, "I need It In my business. Fame nowadays ls merely a synonym for successful advertising."—Washington Star.

"Don't let us turn Sunday into nr day of misery; it's a bad advertisement for Christianity," declared? Father Vaughan at a public meeting held in the Dome, Brighton, on th«> question of Sunday observance. "When I built a elnb in the north of England, and let men play at billiards between the services. I waai pelted in the streets. What am asinine thing," declared the preacher, "to tell a boy, 'God wants you to sit on that chair like an ornament on a mantelpiece.' He wants a boy to be- a'boy and a good boy, and .when he- has looked after his soul the best thing for him and his soul is to let him go to cricket or football, or something of that." The masses, Father Vaughan went on to explain, wanted rest and recreation on the 8abbath day. And" those who wanted recreation should. have it. "Who, for instance, could* object to professional men taking their week-ends in the country?" He would not stop trains or trams or omnibuses on Sundays, but would give them who worked them every other Sunday off pay them extra when they were on, and give them time to have rest during the week. r_*rci?fie: The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter was flrst ascertained to some degree of exactness by Van Ceuten, a Dutchman.

SCHOOLEY orrsYvrirnrrsYvnTVTvrsvvv determination he had not reckoned with the subtle fascination that the printing office has for every true member of the craft, and, as might be expected, the desire to return to his accustomed sphere of labor was not to be resisted. Within an interval of one year he had acquired a half interest in The Lacombe Advertiser, and in June, 1903, he took over his partner's interest. Since that time Mr. Schooley has continued to be editor and proprietor of The Advertiser, and has been eminently successful in producing a paper that has a distinctiveness of appearance that commands more than passing attention. The paper enjoys a liberal advertising patronage, and has an ever-increasing circulation throughout the wide territory it serves. No person should gc from home withe--*, a bottle of Dr. J. D. Kel- logg's Dysentery Cordial in their possession, as change of water, cooking, climate, etc., frequently brings on summer complaint, and there is nothing like being ready with a sure remedy at hand, which oftentimes saves great suffering and frequently valuable lives. This Cordial has gained for itself a widespread reputation for affording prompt relief from all summer complair-ts. F. H. SCHOOLEY Editor and Proprietor of the Lacombe Advertiser To Sunny Alberta the lure of the Golden West has been steadily calling the homeseeker from distant fields. They have come from the Mother Country, Continental Europe, the Antipodes; and Eastern Canada and the United States have also contributed their quota to the constant stream of settlers who are rapidly, filling up this Western province. That the population is decidedly cosmopolitan can be readily believed, and those who have a personal knowledge of the general class of people who are now oi the West, will admit that it has a generous share of the I brain and brawn that contributes to the highest elements of Canadian , citizenship. In the building up of this new province the large numbers who have been attracted across the border from the United States have been a most important factor. Adaptability, genius and enterprise are the accredited characteristics of the average American, and he has a strong tendency to "make good" no matter what may be his position in life. Certain it is that not a few have attained success in this new country and have become identified with many of the leading industrial undertakings. It is not surprising, then, to find that many Americans have engaged in newspaper work, and that they are publishing some of the brightest of our provincial weeklies. Among the number is Mr. F. H. Schooley, editor and proprietor of the Lacombe Advertiser, of whom this article is particularly concerned. Mr. Schooley was born on a farm in Warren county, Iowa, in 1866. In 1870 his father forsook the farm tp take up the practice of law, and in 1872 entered the journalistic field, purchasing a hnlf interest in a weekly newspaper at the county seat. At a very early age Mr. Schooley evinced a great deal of interest in the printing art, and when he was but six years of age it was his particular delight to stand on a high stool and set type from reprint copy. At the age of fifteen he was offered and promptly accepted a position as "devil" in a country newspnper office, nnd afterwards completed his apprenticeship in a job printing office in Des Moines, Iowa. After working some two yenrs in Des Moines he entered into partnership with his father, and purchased a country- weekly, The Advocate-Tribune, nt In- dinnola, Iowa. He was identified with this paper until January, 1902. In April of that year Mr. Schooley moved to Alberta, where he took up land with the intention of remnining out of the printing business. In this During the course of a geography lesson recently the teacher asked the following question: "Who can tell ine what useful article we get from the whale?" "Whalebone," promptly replied a boy. "Right. Now, who knows what we get from the seal?" "Sealing-wax!" shouted a little girl.—Harper's Magazine. A FAMILY MEDICINE Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the One Medicine Best Suited for the Whole Household. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the greatest blood-builder known to medical science. They never fail to make rich, red blood—lots of it—the kind that brings health and strength to the sufferer. They are a family medicine—good for the grandmother or grandfather, the mother or father and for the growing children. Thousands have found new health and strength through the use of these pills. As proof of their being a family medicine Mrs. Chas. Castonguay, Michipicoten River, Ont., says: "My husband was ill for five months and was unable to do any work. He made several trips to the Soo to consult doctors and spent much money on medicine but nothing helped him—in fact he grew worse. He could not eat much and the little he did eat would not remain on his stomach. His stomach was examined bv X Rays and found to be in a terribly inflamed condition. After remaining at the Soo for some time under the doctor's care without finding relief he returned home discouraged and afraid he was going to die. It was then Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were recommended, and by the time he had taken nine boxes he was perfectly well and able to go ,ti work again." Mrs. Castonguay continues: "I have also used the Pills for female troubles and found them a perfect medicine. My little one also owes good health and a rosy color to them." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure all the troubles due to poor blood or shattered nerves, such as anaemia, rheumatism, dyspepsia, neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, partial paralysis, etc., simply because they make rich, red, health-giving blood.

The World Is Full of Pain—The aches and pains that afflict humanity are many and constant, arising from a multitude of indistinguishable causes, but in the main owing to man's negligence in taking care of his health. Dr. Thomas' Ec lectric Oil was the outcome of a unl versal cry for some specific whicli would speedily relieve pain, nnd it lias lilled its mission to a remarkable degree. "The best disciplinarian I ever knew," says a retired army officer, "was a colonel I servfd with during the civil war. Once we were reconnoitering a position which the enemy held with n considerable force. " 'We will take that place tomorrow,' he said. " 'Whv, colonel,' I exclaimed, 'it's impossible!' "'Impossible! Nonsense, sir!' he snorted. 'I hnve the order in my pocket.' "—Kansas City Times.

Try it Get He Had It A farmer tells of a conversation he chanced to hear between a boy and a Christian Scientist, who came across the lad sitting under an apple tree doubled up with pain. "My little man," the Scientist said, "'Nhat is the matter?" "I ate some green apples, and, oh! how I ache." "You don't ache; you only think so." The boy looked up, saying: "But 1 ve got inside information, sir." Ask for Minard's and Take no Other Masculine Guest—Isn't that Freddie Fetherpeyt, sitting over there, plunged in thought?

A disordered liver is one cause and a prime one. A disordered livor means a disordered stomach, and a disordered stomach means disturbance of the nervous system.

It seems, says Appletun's Magazine, that mauy years ago, when It was the custom I'or tbe insurance underwriters to put up at auction vessels th: t bad beer, long overdue nnd not heard from, a young apprentice In Philadelphia happened to attend one of these auctions at which a large ship named the Dorothea was put up for sale. The vessel had taken aboard a very valuable cargo, wblcb would go with tho ship to the successful bidder, but tho very fact that the property was so valuable had kept the underwriters from selling the craft until long after It had become generally believed that she was a total wreck. Consequently the auctioneer cried the good ship Dorothea many times without getting a bid. Finally the young apprentice jokingly bid $*i, and, as nobody would bid lil— icr, tbe vessel and ber cargo were knocked down to him. Imagine the astonishment of the maritime world when the Dorothea was reported sailing into Delaware bay. The apprentice sold his prize for enough to start him ln business, and for years the house thus founded was one of the leaders In enterprise and resources In the Quaker City. But at all times the head of the firm and his family successors made a point of owning and operating a ship named the Dorothea, which name also was always given to the olaest daughter ln each succeeding generation. Shortly before the Spanish war, however, the then head of the house was ln failing health, and the only hope of saving his life, he was advised, was to live at sea. Accordingly, he gave an order to the Cramps for a large and luxuriously appointed yacht to be called the Dorothea, of course, and no expense was spared In her construction and equipment. Unfortunately, death came to the owner before his yacht was quite finished, and the government paid a fancy price for the Dorothea early in 1S08. With the close of the war there was no purely naval duty for which the Dorothea was fitted, and yet the government did not wish to sell her, because there was no possibility of getting a price for her anything like what she had cost. She was accordingly laid up until the naval reserves succeeded In convincing the navy department that they were entitled to her. It was not a modern American writ- 0 who. diseusslug the children, wrote if them thus: "flow mauy are there vho will give place to a man out of respect to his age and dignity? They ire shrewd men already and know everything. They are In awe of nobody, but take themselves for their own example." These were the words of Pliny the youuger used ln one of his famous letters during the flist Christian century, but they will strongly apply to much of the young America of today.

Under the flickering smoky glnre of great torches naked yelling figures fill the baskets of the endless chain that to a weird, formless chant goes round nnd round up the springy plank nnd back again.

Detroit, Aug. 10.—Two men were killed, tliree more probably fatally injured, and scores of people slightly liurt by the explosion of half a car of nitro-glycerine at the Michigan Central Railway station at Essex Centre, Ont., seventeen miles inland from the Detroit River, to-day. Practically every buildlng In the little town of fifteen hundred people was damaged, some of thein being blown to pieces. The shoek of the explosion was plainly felt tor twenty miles around. Rome, Aug. 10.—The anniversary of the coronation of Pope Plus X. was , celebrated to-day tn the Sistine Chapel with deep religious solemnity, great pump and magnificence. All the' car . dlnals, the papal court, the diplomatic . corps accredited to the Vatican, th beads of the religious orders and the members of the Roman aristocracy, . were present. Ottawa, Aug. 11.—The vigilance of the Dominion Government Customs . authorities is annoying the Japanese . exporters of tea. Recently tea laid . down ln Canada at 15 cents per pound and under had been subject to Inspection, but a change was made by the authorities as to inspection, and the figure was made 25 cents a pound and under. In the United States all tea is subject to inspection, and it was found that what that country refused was , dumped In Canada and sold at a bar gain to thp wholesalers, and by them to the public' Macleod, Aug. 12.—Three dead and .several slightly injured is the result nf a disaster to the eastbound Soo .Spokane Flyer one mile west of here at 5 o'clock yesterday morning.

Honolulu, Aug. 12.—Only three hundred and five Japanese are on board the steamship Indiana, whicll sailed from Honolulu a week ago to-day for British Columbia First advices from Honolulu were In error In stating the number as two thousand To-day advices were received from Honolulu via San Francisco declaring the number to be only three hundred and five. Accompanying the Japanese on the Indiana Is the Japanese contractor who Is responsible for ihe forwarding of the men here. Victoria, Aug. 13.—At the hearing in the Attorney-General's office yesterday morning of complaints and protests against the aeci-piance of tho re. .survey of district lot 2G4A, city of Vancouver, no objections whatever wen made to the' scheme of subdivision. Several communications were noted as received, the burden of each being a claim for compensation on account ot the re-survey practically wiping out A number of lots at the west end ol the section, It was asked that valuations he set on these holdings, and thai tills sum be added to the cost of the re-survey and assessed against the 'properly of the district Tins c.inten tion v..is said tj have been expected, and it is probable some compensation will he granted the applicants, Attorney-General Bowser was engaged at an executive meeting at the i,._ut announced for the receipt of the protests. In the afternoon he considered the writ tan claims, and will announce his decision later. London, Aug. ID.—When the House pf Commons met this afternoon, Mr. Blm.ll faced a shower of questions concerning the Belfast strike. The Irish members of Parliament warned : the troops withdrawn from Belfast, and j others' urged the necessity of a full Inquiry. Mr. Blrrell said : | "The Government Is fully alive to the ' urgency of the matter and Is doing all It can to Becure a settlement of tills most unfortunate strike." , Vft% ?'*rW-*t*}*t St_l*S. f.™?--!. **. r.T.^.. was sending a representative to Belfast to-day, the trades unionists of Ireland having just notified him of their willingness to submit to arbitration. War Secretary Haldane read a report from the officer commanding the troops at Belfast, in which it appeared that one of the objects of the military demonstration was to separate the Catholics and Protestants. It appears that in the trouble ln Belfast, as usually happens, there has developed religions tines. The Protestants have cheered and supported the troops, while the attacking arties apparently have been composed of Ca • tholics. Winnipeg, Aug, Hi—Western Ouu- ndu will produce this year from ninety to ninety-five million bushels of wheat. Vancouver, Aug. 18th —The tele- j-i'iiph operators strike has reached Vancouver'and it is with the utmost difficulty and the greatest ilelay that any messages are transmitted to points in the United States. The O. P. B. opera tins are ou duty, but they refuse to take any messages in hand directed to points where uou-uiiiuu meu are at work. As far as Canadian despatches are concerned, however, these are going ami coming with regularity. the Stars, and Stripes, or the Union Jack, look formidable to the silt eye9 of Japan, the combination of the two must appear impossible. What then remains? The slopes of the Andes. |Every Latin-American republic would 'protest, and the Monroe Doctrine would be thrown In to boot. Mexico possesses a long and feebly fortified coast that might admit an army of conquest were lt not safeguarded by the same Pan- American union of Republics. Canada. I then, has the key. Will she lock the closed door? If she holds firm, the .danger is apparently blocked, and the most Jlngolsli Jingo In Japan will be obliged to admit the folly of trying to turn racial differences Into a weapon wherewith to win Industrial advantages.—Collier's Weekly, August 10. (jj—''The Advocate" is always pleased to receive from ita rertoers any items of local interest sucb as notices of people visitiug ou Mt. Pleasant or of local re dents visitiug outside points, all social affairs, church and lodge news, births, marriages, etc. Possibly the cause of peace has been favored by the fact that Japan has found the greatest dependency of her closest political ally more harshly opposed to Oriental immigration than oven the United States. One of the members of Parliament, commenting on the impending problem, said: "Canada is a white man's country, and the immigration of Japanese must be stopped at any cost." The newspapers of the Fraser valley comment with satisfaction upon the London Spectator's sympathetic discussion of these views. AH this brings forth a panoramic vison of how easily the oriental question, with which California has been grappling, . may be swept over the whole Pacific coast.

Acreage iu South Vancouver, Cedar Cottage property, Lotj in South Vancouver, W.i'...ie/&Lf-S!.ett, ALCOHOL IN SICKNESS. At one of the London public hospitals a special point is made of giving alcohol to the patients as rarely and sparely as possible; and each time that one of the physicians does so he submits a special entry of the reasons that actuated him. In the thirty-two years of the existence of the hospital alcohol lias only been given seventy- one times. The cases received are exactly like those received by all the other hospitals. For 1904 they numbered 1337 in-patients only. The death-rate among these was 7.3 per cent. For the same year the average death-rate among the other London public 'hospitals was 9.1 per cent. Therefore the use of alcohol in sickness is not to be regarded as a necessity. Although most physicians prescribe alcohol in solution with drugs for their patients—there was one physician of national reputation who did not believe in using alcohol. Many years ago when Dr. R. V. Pierce decided to put up his valuable "Prescription" for the diseases of women in a " ready to nse" form — he used as a solvent and preservative chemically pure glycerine of proper strength, which is a better solvent and preservative of tbe active medicinal principles residing in most of" our indigenous or native plants than is alcohol. Dr. Pierce found that the glycerine, besides being entirely harmless, possesses intrinsic medicinal properties, of great value. No woman who is suffering from inflammation, from the pains and drains incident to .womanhood can afford to be without Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. An honest medicine which has the largest number of cures to its credit and a deserved popularity for two score years all over the United States. Dr. Pierce tells you just what is contained in his "Favorite Prescription." _ ITS INGREDIENTS AHE: Golden Seal root (Hydrastis Canadensis),. Lady's Slipper root (Cypri- pedium Pubescens), Black Cohosh rooti (Cimicifuga Racemosa), Unicorn root (Helonias Dioica), Blue Cohosh root (Caulophyllum Thalictroides), Chemically Pure Glycerine. Among the prominent medical men of the country who recommend the above ingredients as superior remedies for nervous conditions depending upon disorders of the womanly system and for the cure of those catarrhal conditions in the affected parts are; Edwin M. Hale, M. D., Professor of Materia Medica.'at Hahnemann Medical College, Chicago; Prof. John King, M. D., Author of the American Dispensatory, Woman and her Diseases; Professor John M. Scudder, Doctors Hale, Ives, Wood, Bartholow and others. Address a postal card to Dr. Pierce for a complete treatise on the subject—sent to you without cost. DR. PIERCE'S PLEASANT PELLETS cure biliousness, sick and bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or constipation of the bowels, loss of appetite, coated tongue, sour stomach, windy belchings, "heartburn," pain and distress after eating, and kindred derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels. PersonB who are subject to nny of these troubles should never be without a vial of the "Pleasant Pellets" at hand. In proof of their superior excellence it can truthfully be said that they are always adopted as a household remedy after the first trial. One little "Pellet" is a laxative, two are cathartic. They regulate, invigorate and cleanse the liver, stomach and bowels. As a "dinner pill," to promote digestion, take one each day. To relieve the distress arising from overeating, nothing equals one of these little "Pellet-." They're tiny, sugar- coated, anti-bilious granules, scarcely larger than mustard seeds.

Dear Boys and Girls: WHEN we alighted from our train at the Shtmbasbi (the principal railway station ot Tokyo), our friend clapped his hands to hail a red-capped boy. The boy rushed up and relieved us of our hand luggage—seven pieces In all- carrying tt to rur kurumae, or jln- rikishas—Japanese two-wheeled cans for passengers, drawn by men. For this he charged two sen apiece. That means one American cent apiece, or seven cents altogether, and it is all the railway permits the boys to be paid. Remarkably cheap, wasn't It? Our course from the station led us up the main street, the Glnza—Tokyo's shopping district. The flrst thing that tttracted Jacky's notice was a great clattering sound. "Why, the boys of Tokyo rattle bones just like the kids at home, don't they?" asked Jacky. Then, looking all around htm, he exclaimed, "But I don't see any boys. What ls it makes all that clattering r.oisc?" Our friend laughed. "It Is the ashlda, or wooden clogs, that all the people have on their feet.. Do you see?" "Oh, I do see! My, what a noise they make! And they walk just as boys do on stilts, don't' they?" "Yes, the gait ls very similar—rather stiff and rapid." "Oh, I want a picture of that man with the cart!" exclaimed Jacky, seizing his Brownie and turning It on a coolie who was dragging a load of bamboo poles down the street. tWese* /Ac Tor/o/Se JvSrs See/*. /fewj' Po^-_r terms with Russia their representatives ln Portsmouth agreed not to demand an Indemnity, after all, they were so disappointed and angry that many of* the hot-headed ones got up a mob, burned policemen's boxes and street cars and attacked a number of church buildings. That naturally frightened the foreigners somewhat, and for that reason, among others, the government thought best to, place the city under martial law for a time." After luncheon at our friend's home, we were taken out to Uyeno Park, one of the most beautiful and popular parks of the city, where we saw hundreds of children having a good time. Here and there were tall poles with long ropes hanging from them. To each rope hung a hoy, his kimono carefully tucked around his legs so as to be out of the way, when at a given signal all the boys gave a hop, skip and jump, lifted their feet from the ground, and swung rapidly around and around the pole. "Oh, I want to do It," said Jacky. "All right. Go ahead," said our friend. So Jacky went up to one of the poles, and pointed at one of the ropes, with a look on his face that plainly asked, "May 1 swing with you fellows?" .VTA (ST.AX* AAMOA. XrlTH __- men woooih soli na tTttta* "Notice when a tramcar comes up, and take the car and ihe cart together, Jacky, the ancient and the modern side by side," suggested our friend. And so Jacky did. Accidentally, also, he caught two Japanese dressed in totally different styles; one In the old-time native costume—kimono, outside cloak and geta (or straw sandals), the other—a policeman—in a very modern European costume, with the addition of cap, boots and sabre. A little way oft* from the policeman stood a soldier ln khaki, with fixed bayonet. "Martial law, you sec," said our friend. "Everywhere, all over the city Just now, you will see policemen and Imperial soldier? standing guard together." » "Why? Are tm. people so dangerous and bad?" asked Jacky. "Oh, no; but when they read ln the newspapers that in arranging peace The boys understood. They smiled ■nd boned In a very friendly way, while several of them chattered away at him as lf they thought he surely must understand. "What are they saying?" asked Jacky, turning to our friend. "They are saying, 'Will the honorable young gentleman honorably accept their ropes," explained our friend. "And what shall I say?" "Bow pleasantly to all of them, take one of the ropes and say, 'A-rig-ato,' which means thank you." Which Jacky did; and such a good time as he had with the boys! From here we passed on to where group of little girls and beys were playing a sort of "Blind Man's Buff" game. Some of them had baby brothers or sfsters strapped on their backs, hut they seemed not to mind their burdens in the least, for they ran and skipped and did everything that the other children did, while the babies' heads bobbed this way and that, or hung helplessly back in the full glare of the sunlight as they blissfully slept. Such dear little babies as they were! And how cunning their little legs looked spread out astraddle across their big sisters' hips! On our way home from the park we stopped at a Japanese boot and shoe shop, and Jacky purchased one pair each of the four styles of Japanese footgear—a pair of zorl, a pair of geta, a pair of pshida and a pair of waraji. "Can I send them home for the boys and girls to see?" asked Jacky. "It'll cost a good deal to do so," warned our friend. "Make drawings of them and send with my letter," suggested Polly Evans; and that was what Jacky did. The only style of shoe he did not sketch was the waraji, because It looks so much like the zorl, only It Is coarser and a little thicker, and ls fastened to the foot by means of straw ties. "And the queer stockings, or, rather, socks, that many of the people wear, let me make a picture of them," said Jacky, "What are they called?" "TabI," said our friend. "You see the idea in dividing the toe. do you not? Every shoe, you notice, has a piece in front. Well, all a person has to do is to catch It between his big toe and his other toes and it stays on." "My, how jolly!" exclaimed Jacky. "I'd like to do that. It's such a nuisance to have to lace up my shoes when I'm in a hurry." "You'll have a chance In a day or two, Jacky," said our friend, smilingly, "for when we go up to the mountains (as you will to-morrow) we shall plan a climb up Asama-Yama, and for that climb 1 shall provide you three or four pairs of waraji." "Gee!" exclaimed Jacky, "am I going to wear out that many pairs in one day? Won't that be pretty expensive?" "Oh, no; they only cost three or four sen a pair." Jacky calculated for a minute. "That's only six or eight American cents for three or four pairs, then? My, wouldn't my father be glad If I wore waraji all the time! He says it's awful the way I wear out shoe leather." "But what is Asama-Yama?" asked Polly Evans. "Asama-Yama," explained our friend, "Is a real, live volcano. I understand you visited Haleakala in the Hawaiian Islands; it ls only on old dead thing. But when you see the Inside of Asama- Yama you will And something to look at, I assure you." "When do we start for the mountains?" asked Jacky. "To-morrow morning, on the 6 o'clock train." More next week, bovs and girls. POLLY EVANS. A Funny Mistake. ONE afternoon small George, out in the cemetery with his mother, saw two maiden sisters sowing grass seed In their lot. "Mamma, what are they doing?" asked George. "They are sowing seed, dear," replied his mother. "Why, mamma, Where's their needle?" ;t Baby's Teething Time and Creeping Period *■ •- Keep on the Safe Side on the Question of Food I By Dr. Emelyn L. Coolidge Copyright. 1MB. by A. 8. Barnea _ Co. THE average kaby 8 months old will usually have cut his two lower central teeth, which are called "the lower central incisors." At any time from the eighth to the twelfth month the four upper middle teeth, or "upper incisors," may be expected, so that by the time the baby is 1 year old he will usually, have six teeth. Many mothers ask if they may allow a teething baby to suck ice. The coldness of the ice is no doubt very grateful to the hot and swollen little gums, and if comparatively pure ice can be obtained lt 1» a good plan to let the baby have a lrttie W islon_..lly. In winter water can be boiled, cooled and put out of doors In a covered vessel to freeze, and bo be really pure for the baby's use. The mother should wrap a small piece in a napkin, leaving out th^ end that the baby is to suck, then she should hold it and gently rub it on the gums while the baby has lt partly in his mouth. Often an active, healthy baby of 8 months will attempt to creep a little on the floor or ln his "pen." This ls good exerclst, and should be allowed if the baby doeB lt of his own accord, but do not urge him to do bo; he knows belter than his mother when his little limbs are strong enough tor suun exercibe. Creeping is ruinous to while dresses, petticoats and stockings; therefore many mothers make "creeping aprons" for their babies to use while on Ihe floor. These aprons are made of tine ginghum, and may be put on over the dress or worn without one in very hot weather. They are usually made to button all the way down the back, and sometimes have an elastic or drawstring run Into the hem at the bottom of the apron, so that the white skirts may be kept clean. One mother of twin babies, who found lt necessary to economize In the matter of washing, made for her children somo creeping trousers. In summer they were made of thin gingham, and in winter of outing flannel. They were cut after the pattern of ordinary worsted leggings, coming all the way down to the ankles and having broad elastic to go over the feet and prevent the leggings from slipping up. They were made quite full and long enough to tie under the armpltr A The little white dresses were thei. smoothly tucked In and the babies allowed to tumWo nhnin tn ,x.elz hearts* «*•*** content, without fear or soiling th-r clothes. Some mothers Beem to think that as soon as the baby has any teeth It Is time to give him solid food. They will give the baby "Just a taste" of bread, cake and, worst of all. potato. Now potato contains so much starch that It — verv difficult for a baby's stomach to digest, and it should not be given until the baby Is at the very least 2 years old. Gruels, broths nnd milk are quite enough for a baby until he is a year old. Convulsions are often caused by allowing the baby to have "Just a little" of food from the table. It Is much better to keep on the safe side unci give the baby only whnt Is especially prepared for him and suitable to his special needs. An 8-month-old baby will usually bo able to take a formula composed of: Six ounces of top milk, Hkimmed from the top of a quart bottle of milk, seventeen ounces of milk poured off, twenty-one ounces of gruel, seven trnspoon- fuls of milk sugar or four of wanulated. a pinch of bicarbonate of soda, and a pinch of salt. This should be bottled ► nnd pasteurized, as usual, and given to the baby every three hours up to 10 P. M.. prtvlng six and a half to seven and a ki'lf ouuecs at each meal. HERE ts a picture of a "baby giraffe." over which the young Berlinese have been much excited this summer. The German boys and girls are so fond of natural histery that when they hear of a new animal being born at the Zoo they all flock there to see It, and then come back often to watch tt grow. You would hardly think that great, long-necked animal, to whose mouth the keeper must stretch up, was a baby, Would you? But so lt ls. It ls a female giraffe, only a few months old, and were It not for its kind caretaker I am afraid it would not be alive to-day. Poor llttle thing, her mother neglects her terribly. She will not food or sleep with her baby daughter, and so the keeper is bringing it up on a bottle to be a fine healthy young animal. The baby giraffe took at first about a gallon of milk a day, but now it drinks more, and takes a little hay besides. When night comes, where do you think she sleeps? Why, with her kind keeper. When little Fraulein Giraffe arrived It created much wonder, for baby giraffes are not often born in captivity. Perhaps lt ls because the mother ls shut up ln the Zoo that she is so indifferent to her child, for down in their native Africa giraffe mothers are very attentive to their children. One might think Mrs. Giraffe would be very proud, Indeed, of her daughter, who was a fine, large baby, weighing fifteen pounds and measuring almost six feet from the point of her nose to the beginning of her tail. It was a dear, gentle-looking little baby, with yellowish skin patched with brown, big brown, full, shining eyes and a very gentle expression. By and by baby giraffe will grow to be eighteen feet high. Then, if it were back In its African forests, lt wouid reach up Its long neck and feed on the tender shoots and leaves of trees. It ls said to be very amusing to see a giraffe run. They are not very swift, and when they gallop they bring their hind legs at each step In advance of their front legs and a foot or two outside them. What a happy spring motion that would be! No wonder hunters and dogs can easily catch them! But If the giraffe Is not very swift, lt la plucky, and when avtacked tt w__ kick Its hoofs so rapidly and so hard that even lions are afraid of them. Some people think young giraffes _r_ very good to eat, but Polly Evana would rather rot taste them to And out. llow about you, boys and girls? Down In Africa, too, they us* tl» giraffe's skin for soles of shoes and sandals or to make water vessels, or etcu. for roofs to their huts. Little Fraulein Giraffe will i_ss<- to no such end. The Germans are an wry Sroud of her, and she will be brou_M. up 1 ease and luxury.

Is a hanging housewife, where thread, needles, pins, thimble, scissors are always handy for the many times a day a hasty stitch must be taken. These useful little articles may be made very simple or they can really be turned Into artistic bits of decoration. In either case, they are not difficult ot construction. The foundation Is cut from heavy cardboard, and consists of two pieces, abcut eight inches long and five and a half inches wide, cut in shield shape and pointed at the lower end. This can be covered with any kind of material one happens to have on hand, though linen or cotton goods are preferable, as they are less likely to catch dust. A gay, flowered cretonne makes, a pretty covering, or lf one ls making the housewife for a gift, it can be of art linen, embroidered around the edges in a border, narrow llorol border, or ln a band of raised dots, ln a .ji.tr.—dug color. Paste the goods on each half of tho foundation, being very careful to have It smooth and tight. Let it become perfectly dry, then overcast the two halveHi together neatly and finish the edge witn a narrow silk cord. On the upper part of the shield tie two spools of thread or silk, one oni each side. This can be done by putting holes through the foundations and running a heavy cord or ribbon in tho spools and tying it through tne holes on the back of shield. This allows tba spools to revolve easily as a thread is P The scissors are In the center be-l tween the two spools, and are slipped Into two bands of elastic, which ar» sewed to the foundation. About the center of the shield on the right hand a little needlebook ls fixed. This may be merely a few pieces of pinked llMincl. or lt can be quite olab. orate, with an embroidered stiff back covering folds of cashmere or ftannrt. On the left-hand side is a little pocket. about the same size as the needlebook.. to hold buttons or possibly an extra spool or two. Underneath the point oC the scissors is another elastic for ib» thimble, while across the center at Uu» bottom 's a fairly long pincushion. The Too Snug Blouse IT IS curious how tight a blouse wiaj sometimes become across the for no apparent reason. On* grown no stouter, but the fa«t r« and must be dealt with. Fashion thl* season helps us out, for few of ua can afford to give our clothes away _*» moment they are too small.

Don't you think It must have been & funny sight? Polly Evans does. Even more amusing than a baby show, which Is odd enough when ever so many of the babies begin to cry at once. Imagine If several hundred cats took a notion to ml-au-w at the same time. Wouldn't It be a terrible noise? I am Bure the people at the exposition would have run away In terror. Well, at this German cat show there were big cats and little cats and wee, tiny ■"•Hens; gruy cats, yellow cats, blue., cats and cats all snowy white; cats with Ions, bu»hy tails and several Mans k!::;„s with no tails at all. Of course, every cat's mistress or master was very anxlotia for It to tnke a prize, so they wrote all nbout Its parents and grandparents as fur back us It was known. This is called a cat's pedigree. Now, thero was a very proud cat, Indeed, at this exposition, one that belonged to a very ancient cat family— probably there Is no other kitten ln tho world that can claim to bo quite so aristocratic. This cat was Dodo, a magnificent white Angora, with long, Huffy tall, smooth, silken fur. thick, full whiskers and a very Intelligent face. Dodo won a prize not only for her own beauty and clever tricks, but because of her wonderful pedigree, Her owners could trace pussy's family bnck to 1794 in an unbroken line. One hundred and eleven years! Just think of that! They could tell all about her father and mother, and Rrandfather and grandmother, way back to tho great-great-greot-greats! Very few boys and girls ran do as well, I am sure. Perhaps, some of you are Intcrebtcd in genealogy—which means a study of one's pedigree—and love to look U" "our ancestors. It Is a very interest ing study If you once begin lt Howeven, most boys and girls are like Dodo, they do not care anything about such thing*. But lf those ancestors could have seal Dodo ihey would have been proud of ber. no doubt. She was such a fine, UIr, beautiful cat.
