UNSIGHTLY SKIN DISEASE REMOVED Wonderful Zam-Buk Cure in Saskatchewan. A most interesting cure has just been effected at Invermay, Sask., by the great household balm, Zam-Buk. Mrs. J. M. McCormick says: "Seven years ago my face broke out in rough, red blotches, which burned and itched and smarted in turn almost beyond endurance. I commenced to try every known remedy I could get for face and skin troubles, but got no relief. Doctors told me there was absolutely no cure for me. Finally my husband sent for a supply of Zam-Buk. We applied a small sample to a small patch of the disease. To our delight the portion treated with Zam-Buk very quickly healed. We then obtained a proper supply and began the Zam-Buk treatment. I am now delighted to state that afer having used a few boxes, i am free from the old trouble and completely cured. I will never be without Zam-Buk in the house as long as I live, and to all who are troubled with skin disease in any form, I would say, waste no time in obtaining a supply of Zam-Buk." Zam-Buk cures eczema, itch, scalp eoresj ringworms, blotches on the face and body, chapped places, cold sores, piles and enlarged veins. As an embrocation it cures rheumatism and sciatica, and rubbed ,over the chest relieves tiie tightness due to severe colds. All stores and druggists sell at 50 cents a box, or post free from the Zam-Buk Co., Toronto. 6 boxes for $2.50. Tha Papua Cannibals.

Winter after winter Canada is swept from ocean to ocean by an epidemic of la grippe, or influenza,. It is one of the deadliest troubles known to our climate. It starts with a sneeze ��������� and end3 with a complication. It lays Jthe strong man on his back; it tortures him ^ith^feveT���������and-^hiHsT^headaches-and- backaches. It leaves the sufferer an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, consumption and other deadly diseases. You can avoid la grippe by fortifying your system with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You can cure its disastrous ?iter effects with this same medicine. These pills protect you; they cure you; they upbuild you; they banish all evil after effects. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ward off all winter ailments. They cure all blood and nerve disorders. They are the ��������� greatest blood-builder and nerve tonic science has yet discovered. Ask your neighbors, no matter where you live, and you will learn of someone who has been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills after other medicines have failed. It is on the unbiased evidence of your neighbors that we ask you to give these pills a fait trial if you are sick or ailing. Mrs. Emma Doucet, St, E"'nlie, Que,, says; "Words enn hardly express my gratitude for what Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills have done for jne. I had an attack of la grippe which left me a sufferer from headaches and pain in tho stomach. I used several medicines but found nothing to help me until I took Dr. Williams' Pink Piiia.

Hurried eating and lack of proper mastication of the food are among the most common causes of indigestion, and overeating is undoubtedly the beginning of trouble with the liver and kidneys. > Kidney disease and rheumatism are not usually the first indication of a deranged system, but these troubles follow unheeded headaches; constipation and bilious attacks. Because of that direct and combined action on the liver, kidneys and bowels, Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver Pills are effective in whatever stage of such dreangements they may be used, except when the structure of the kidneys has been wasted away by Bright's disease. What we would emphasize, however, is the advantage of beginning this treatment at the first indication of trouble with the liver. It is the liver which first feels the result of overeating because of its difficulty in filtering the blood. Keep the liver right by the timely use of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills and you not only prevent headaches, biliousness and constipation, but entirely escape derangements of the kidneys, which are at once eo dreadfully painful and fatal. Mr. Henry Borgnardt, Horse Hills, Alta., writes: "I used Dr, Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills for dyspepsia and am satisfied that there is no better medicine for this ailment and liver complaint." Mrs. E. Husband, Moore street, St. Catharines, Ont., states: "I was seriously afflicted with indigestion and stomach trouble for sixteen years. Finally I became so bad that I could scarcely eat anything without suffering terrible distress. Gradually I grew weaker and more emaciated, and though treated by three doctors and a specialist, I received no benefit. "After a time a pain began in my right side, which medical men said was liver trouble. I never got relief until I began the use of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pil'ls, and they helped me at once. By using about a dozen boxes I was entirely cured. I owe my cure entirely to this treatment, and. make this statement with the hope that some poor sufferer may benefit by my experience."

"Few of us get what we want In this world," said a bright woman the other day to a young girl who dropped all her old-time friends and- occupations because of the perfidy of a lover, "but if we will take the second best, or even what we don't want, and try to make something out of It, we will find that . there' Is plenty left to live for and en- doy." t That woman lived up to her principles. She had married a man who stripped her of her girlish illusions within a few weeks of her wedding day, but she accepted him as he was, made the most of his few good qualities and the least of his many bad ones, and transferred her ambitions'to her children. She had wretched health, but In-spite cf it she filled her days with her friends, her books, her household duties. She lived out of doors as much as possible, gathered the young people of the neighborhood about her and took a heart interest in their hopes and plans. She had missed perhaps the great happiness she had dreamed of, but withal she got a good deal out of life. t The women who get the most out of life need-not-be clever nor talented,'nor beautiful.

The silver- plated lamps for the dinner table are Very attractive. The silver shades of these lamps are lined with colored glass and a beaded fringe to correspond.

One tall bronze hall lamp has a pale green and pink globe that is very effective. ' Some of the new Japanese candlesticks are very quaint.

' /T\HE outdoor world is, perhaps, I the' correct place for plants, . ������������������������������������������ bu,t we, nevertheless, usually like to have some in the house near us. 'especially in winter, when the outdoor1 world yields us so little in the way of plant life. The city dweller has little or no choice in the matter, as often there is no garden" bilt that made in the window. The successful appearance of house plants depends largely on the receptacles ih which they are arranged. The handsomest of plants Jn an ugly pot loses half its pleasing effect, and .a row of small plants and cuttings struggling for existence in odd tin cans is a depressing sight, "and little likely to cheer us during the dark winter days. It will, therefore, repay us to have some artistic Mower stands and boxes in which our finest specimens can be shown to the best ad- \ vantage. Red earthenware flower pots, with saucers to match, have much to recommend them, for they are plain and honest, and when pot and saucer are kept clean the color seldom clashes with Its surroundings.' A growing, plant in. a room always forms a - centre to which the eye is drawn, and is, therefore, an opportunity to use some decorative stand or box which shall add to Its beauty. LESSONS FROM THE JAPANESE The Japanese are exceedingly felever' at arranging plants, and with them a , special flower has a special pot, one not being seen without the other. The orange tree-and its box illus- _.trated_iSia.-combination_of_thls.-Jcind,_. the form and color of the box being considered in conjunction with the tree. It can be quite easily made of half-inch pine, and if its Inside di mensions are eight and a half inchet | square an empty biscuit tin can b������ 9 used as an inner receptacle to bolt. the soil. The box should be put together with small nails, these being driven below the surface of the wood and the holes filled with putty. The edges of the box will be improved by being slightlj rounded, and the whole box must.be sandpapered smooth previous to staining and decorating. A dead-black sta?. is next applied, * both inside and out, two coats being given to Insure a good surface. The design must then be drawn in and* , painted with oil colors thinned with .turpentine. The rectangular background of the blossoms and the curved space behind the leaves are to be deep peacock blue, the blossoms a rich purple and the leaves,and stems olive green. Slight shading can be given to the ".lossoms and leaves with deeper tones of their respective colors. The final effect, when the orange tree is in place, will ber exceeding rich, as the touch of purnle brings out the - deep gold of the fruit, and the dead", black tends to intensify all the colors. A window garden which offers accommodation for eight or ten plants is desirable. : Its construction should not be difficult for the amateur carpenter, especially if soft wood, such as pine, is used. The length will be governed by the window at which it is to be used, and the width and height by the size of the flower pots., The uprights should be an inch and a quarter square, and should be chosen free from knots, 'ihe caps on the tops of these uprights are cut from inch material, beveled to tit the inch and a-quarter material. Half- inch wood will be sufficiently strong tor the sides of the b.ox, but for the bottom, the small shelves, brackets and "cross-pieces���������inchrboards^must-be-usea.��������� A zinc inner lining can be used to hold the soil, although a better would be to have a shallow zinc tray fitted to the bottom of. the box and then use ordinary flower pots to hold the plants. If Vie tops of the pots are hidden by a layer of green moss the plants will show tq much better advantage. When the woodwork is completed, it must be sandpapered smooth, and then: stained and oiled. A soft moss-green would look well, with a dull polish, given by means of repeated coats of oil rubbed in with a soft cloth. Tbe slight design on the side should then be painted in with oil colors, thinned with turpentine, a dull pink being used for the flowers, and a darker shade of green for the leaves and stems, the whole being outlined with Vandyke brown. FOB HALL OR LANDING .' A flower pedestal suitable for a hall or. spacious landing on a stairway is- also illustrated. It should be about four and a half feet high and the four uprights made from good pine- one inch and a half square. The base must be made as heavy and solid as possible, and can best be built up of inch boards, with the edges neatly- beveled to form a moulding. It should, be eighteen inches square, and the. four uprights' must be firmly screwed through from underneath, and further strengthened by four pieces of inch material six inches wide, as shown in the illustration. The shelves, top and brackets are also of inch wood. After it has been sandpapered smooth a suitable finish would be to paint lt ivory white, with an eggshell finish. Two or three coats must be given,, and the sandpaper should be again, used before the final coat. Five glazed, earthenware potB will be required ot a pale peacock blue color, and thick "feit~mats-of-the-same-eolor-shouid-Dftf7 placed on the shelves for them to stand on. The result will be a most- pleasing color scheme, the,, ivory white and pale,blue well setting off the delicate green foliage of ferns and UerbAps some dainty pale blossoms. \ ADVICE BY MRS.

"Not a word o* thanks!" ihe tinker exclaimed. "Wrath o' Godl I fear there is but oue thing would soften him." "And what Is that?" "A club," said Darrel. "But God forgive me! I must put away anger. Soon it went about that Brooke was to marry the widow. All were delighted, for each party would be in the nature of a punishment. God's justice! They did deserve each other." Darrel shook with happiness and relighted his pipe. "Mayhap ye've seen the dear lady," Darrel went ont. "She is large, bony, quarrelsome���������a weaver of some fifty years���������neither amiable nor fair to look "Broofee, poor man, he got the worst of it." upon. Every one knows her���������a survivor o' two husbands an' many a battle o' high words. " 'Is it a case o' foreclosure, Brooke?' says I to him one day in the road. ' " "No, sir,' he snaps out. 'I had a little mortgage on her furniture, but I'm going t' marry her for a helpmeet. Sho is a great worker an' neat an' savin'.' " 'An' headstrong,' says I. 'Ye must have patience with her.' "'I can manage her,' said Brooke. 'The first morning after we are married I always say to my wife: "Here's the breeches. Now if ye want 'em, take 'em, an' I'll put on tbe dress."' "He looked wise, then, as if 'twere a great argument. "'Always?' says I, 'God bless thee, *t)B an odd habit.' "Well, the boast o' Brooke, went from . one to another an' ot last to the widow's ear. They say a look o' firmness an' resolution came into her face, an' late in August they were married of an evening at the home o' Brooke. Well, about then, I bad been having trouble." "Trouble?" said Trove. "It*, was another's trouble���������that of a client o' mine, a poor woman out In the country. Brooke had a mortgage on ber cattle, an' she could not pay, an' I undertook to help ber. I had some money due me, but was unable to put me hand on it, That day before the wedding I went to tbe old siunor. " 'Brooke, I came to see about the Martha Vaughn mortgage,' says I," "Martha VaughnI" said Trove, turn* ing quickly, "Yes; one o' God's people," said the tinker. "Ye may havo seen ber," "I bave soon her," said Trove. ���������"At 10 o'clock tomorrow I shall foreclose,' says Brooke, waving bis fist. " 'Give ber a little time-till the day after tomorrow. Man, It is not much 'toask,'says I. ������������������ 'Not an hour,' says be, an' ! came away. "But, God be praised," said Darrel, "Brooke wai unable to foreclose that day, an' tbe next was Sunday, an' bright an' early on Monday morning I paid tbe debt." "Mrs, Vaughn hue a d-rtnght-T," rttl-1 Trovp, WYisrtinjt. "Aye, an' she hath a pretty redness In her lip," said Darrel quickly, "on' a merry flash In ber eye. Thou bast yet far to go, boy. Look not upon her tv'.r cr the will tr!j? thee. Py -in' *������������������**. boy; by an' by." There was an odd trait In Parrel, In familiar talk bo often made use of "yo" -a shortened "you"-ln speaking to those of old acquaintance, but when there was msn or topic to rouse him Into higher dignity it was more often "then" or "thou" with him. Trove* made tu������ answer and shortly went away. C CHAPTER XI. nniBTMAB eve bad eon* and the year of 1850. For two ���������rTtrtrkts suvw bad lUsbfed o*������*r I tne creaking gable of the for- ' est above Martha Vaughn's to pile in drifts or go hissing down the long hillside. A freezing blast had driven it to the roots of the stubble and sown lt deep and rolled lt Into ridges and whirled it into heaps and mounds or flung it far in long waves that seemed to plunge, as if part of a white sea, and break over fence and roof and chimney in their down rush. Candle I and fire light filtered through frosty 'panes and glowed dimly under dark fathoms of the snow sheet now flying full of voices. Mrs. Vaughn opened her door a moment to peer out. ',A great horned owl flashed across the light beam With a snap and rustle of wings and a cry "Oo-oo-oo!" lonely, like that, as if it were the spirit of darkness and the cold wind. Mrs. Vaughn started, turning quickly and closing the door. "Ugh, what a sound!" said Polly. "It reminds me of a ghost story." - "Well," said the widow, "that thing belongs to the only family o' real ghosts in the world." "What was it?" said a small boy. There were Polly and three children about the fireplace. "An air cat," said she, shivering, her back to the fire. "They go round at night in a great sheet o' feathers an' v. rufitle lt, an' I declare they do cry lonesome. Got terrible claws too!" "Ever hurt folks?" one\ of the boys Inquired. "No; but they're just like some kinds o' people���������ye want to let 'em alone; Any one that'll shake hands .with an owl would be fool enough to eat fish- hooks._-^:Theyire��������� notC^^ ship, those owls." . Presently she sat down by a table, where there were candles, and began reading aloud from a county paper.. She read anecdotes of men remarkable for* their success and piety, and an account of Indian fighting, interrupted, as a red man lifted his tomahawk to slay, by the rattle of an arrow .on the buttery door. It was off the cross gun of young Paul. He had seen everything in the story and bad taken aim at the said Indian just in the nick of time. Sbe read also the old sweet story of the coming of the Christ Child. > -, "Some say it was a night like this," said she as the story ended. Paul bad listened, his thin, sober face glowing. "I'll bet Santa Claus was good to blm," said he.* "Brought him sleds an' candy an' nuts an' raisins an' new boots an' everything." , "Why do you think so?" asked bis mother, who was now reading Intently. '"Cos he was a good' boy. He wouldn't cry If be bad to fll) the wood box, would he, mother?" ��������� K , That query beld a bidden rebuke for bis brother,Tom, "I do not know, but I do not think be was ever saucy or spoke a bad word." "Huh!" said Tom reflectively. "Then I guesB be never bad no mustard piaster put on him," <" The widow bade him hush. "Er never had mitbln' done to blm, neither," tbe boy continued, rocking vigorously In bis little chair. "Mustn't speak so of Christ," tbe mother added. "Waal," said Paul, rising, "I guess I'll bang up my stockin's," "Ono']) do, Paul," eald bli lister Polly, with n knowlug air. "No, 'twon't," the boy Insisted. "Thoy ain't half tin big as yours. I'm goin' t' try It, anyway, an' see wbat be'll do to 'cm." He drow off his stockings and pinned them carefully to the braces on the back of a clmlr. "Well, my son," sold Mrs, Vaugbn, looking over the top of hor paper, "It's bad weather, Sunta Claus may not be able to get here," "Ob, yus, be can," said tbe boy con* Wdpntly, hut with n llttlw ruilver of alarm in his voice. "I'm sure be'll como. Uo has a team of relndoers. 'An' tbe deeper the snow tbe faster they go."' Soon the otliors bared tholr feet and hmirr tholr stock Intra on four chair* In a row besldo tho first. Then they all got on tbo bed In tbe corner and pulled a quilt ovor tbem to wait Cor Santa Claus. Tbe mother went on with her reading as tbey chattered. Sleep bushed them presently. But for the crackling of tho fire and the push and whistle of Uie wind that room had become as a peaceful, silent cave under tho storm, Tbe widow roso stealthily and open* ed a bureau drawer, Tbejrownf limp stockings oegan to iook , cneerriu ana animated. Little packages fell to their toes, and the shortest began to reacn for the floor, but while they were fat in the foot they were still very lean in tbe leg. Her apron empty. Mrs. Vaughn took lier knitting to the fire and before she began to ply the needles looked thoughtfully at her hands. They had been soft and shapely before the days of toil. A frail but comely woman she was, with paletace and dark eyes and hair prematurely gray. She had com* west, a girl of nineteen, with her young husband, full of high hopes. That was twenty-one years ago, and the new laua had poorly kept its promise. And the children���������"How many have you?" a caller liad once inquired. "Listen," said she, "hear 'era. an* you'd say there were fifteen, but count 'em, an' they're only four." -. The low, weathered hbuse and sixty acres were mortgaged. Even the wilderness had not wholly signed off its claim. Every year it exacted tribute, the foxes taking a share of her poultry and the wild deer feeding on her grain. (To Be Continued.) SHELTER FOR THE FLOCK. THE KING'S FOOD. Sheep Can Be Made Comfortable A Very Little Cost. | As it is economical on the part a any owner..of any animals to feed ������wel during the winter and to keep thi 6tock in the best- condition, it^is thi best plan for him to provide' god warm shelter for all his animals. Thii refers most particularly to a flock o sheep, says the, American Sheej Explanation of the Ancient Board of Green Cloth. With regard to the board of green cloth it is one of the most ancient institutions of the English court, is composed of the lord steward, of the treasurer, and of the controller of the household, as well as of several minor officials, and derives its name from the green cloth on the table at which the officials sit on the occasion of their meetings. It has charge not only of the accounts and of the victualing of the royal household, but likewise of the exercise of a number of legal prerogatives and immunities pertaining to the residences of tho sovereign. The board of green cloth is, in fact, the council of the lord high steward, who in ancient days bore the title of Beneschal, and who, subject of course, to the sovereign, enjoys jurisdiction, independent of the ordinary tribunals of tho land, over all the inmates of the royal palaces and royal parks, and over the people connected therewith. Indeed, the lord steward, in conjunction with his board of green cloth, has the rights of life and death over offenders, and the power of selecting a jury from among the servants of the sovereign. In these modern times it is doubtful whether the lord high steward would be willing to exercise his prerogative of sitting in judginant upon a case of felony, such as, for instance, a murder committed within the pre-, cincts' of Buckingham Palace or, Windsor Castle, and he would prob* j ably, delegate his authority to one of; the judges of the High Court of Justice to deal with the case. In fact, he does something of the kind at the Ascot races. The Ascot race course, says the, American Breeder. It is commonly thought, ani as everybody knows, forms part of the thought is commonly expressed the royal domain of Windsor, and that sheep, being provided with i thick wpolly coat in the winter, di not require any other shelter^ than i board fence and a comfortable yard ti pass the nights in. It is a very com mon accident for such persons to los* a few sheep and lambs every winta by exposure to cold and neglect. Ani mals suffer from cold when they an shivering in an exposed yard on t cold winter's night quite as much ai their owners may do under similai exposure. And it is a waste of money , for food is .the same as money to thi owner of a flock of sheep. Of coursi this error reduces the,profits from i ���������--flock-of-6heep--that-is^exposed~tii-th������ cold.V.. ' It will cost very little to make th< sheep comfortable. A rough boarl shed that will break the force of thi cold winds will be sufficient. It shouW have a tight roof that it may be dry Dry cold is far more bearable thai a much better temperature with a well skin. But the wind of a oold freezing, night when the sheep fleeces are wa ter looked will kill shefcy that woul������ be comfortable if their skins wer������ dry and protected by the dry fleece! It is quite often thought suffideri that the sheep were sufficiently pro teoted by their woolly coat althougl exposed to rainstorms which froze uu fleece on their baoks. The truth is thai the fleece of a sheep should not b* considered in this part of their man j ageineht as any greater protection than the hairy coat of a cow, and thi flock should nave as much ������are foil their protection as all other animali ot the farm get. Ventilation is a very important pari of the management of all shelters for sheep���������indeed, for all animals. Thi rule should be to give a square yard of floor space for every sheep in shed) or covered yards at''the'.least. This ii twice an much as the sheep will cov er, thus leaving half tbe floor for moving npace, The sheep will habituftlli He close together, and thus there will be ample room for the wanderers ti move about comfortably. Some of thi sheep will bunch together, but thii will be perfectly Bate, for sheep maj safely crowd together if there is ample room for nil and none pile up on the others. Ths only safe rulo in lh������ management of sheep is to whollj prevent by sufficient precautions anj risk of panics in the yards or sheds, as may happen by the presence of i dog in the place. Strange dogs should always be tapt (rom the sheep. Th������ home dog may go anywasre amon| them with safety, but a strange do| may cause n panio in which somi sheep will be lost.

' ��������� ' a Powers of the Lord Steward. Accordingly the lord steward of the household each year secures.the services of the senior police - magistrate of the metropolis for the Ascot week, and the magistrate in question, by virtue of the authority "delegated to him by the lord steward, holds court in his name in a room provided for "the~purpwe~ben^ and inflicts penalties on the thieves and toughs who are brought before him charged with offenses committed upon the racecourse. The last occasion on which the lord steward dealt with a case of homicide was when the mysterious murder, of Senlis, the Swiss valet of the Duke of Cumberland, afterward first King of Hanover, took place in St. James' Palace. The duke was the subject of suoh ganeral execration that popular sentiment did not hesitate to lay the crime at the door of this son of George III. But the" coroner's jury, recruited by the lord steward ana by the board of green cloth from among the King's servants, absolved the duke of all responsibility and rendered a verdict of murder by unknown persons. The lord high steward receives his charge immediately from the sovereign, and by virtue of his office takes precedence of all dukes who do not happen to be princes of the reigning house. The immediate direction of the royal, household "below stairs," that is, the kitchens, the domestio servants, etc., is in his hands, and in those of the board of green cloth. He and the latter are responsible for the expenditures and for the supplies. But virtually his authority extends over the entire oourt, even the chamber, the chapel, and the stables. The lord steward's insignia of office is a white wand or staff, which he carries in the presenoe of the sovereign, but which on state ocoasions, when the monarch is not present, is borne before him by a footman, bareheaded, On the death of the sovereign from whom he has received the white staff he breaks it over the royal bier at the close ot the of������equiei"Ho indicate that hii office has ceased and that there is no longer any board of green cloth, Fate ef Sunken Ships. What becomes o! the ship that links in midoeeanP If It is of wood it takes in the first place, considerable time for lt to reach the bottom. In a hundred or more fathoms ot water a Starter of an hour will elapse before e ship reaches the bottom. It links slowly, and whon the bottom is reached, it falls gently into the soft, coiy bed, with no orash or breaking. Of course, it it is laden with pig iron or corresponding substances, or it it is an iron ship, it sinks rapidly and lometimei strikes the bottom with suoh force as to smash in plootm, Once tjiwke.. a ship becomes tho prey of the counties! inhabitants ot the ocean. They swarm over and through the great boat and make it their nome, rWirips this, they cover every inch of the boat with a thick layer of lime. This takes time, of course, and when one generation dies another continues the work, until finally the ship is so laden with heavy incrustations, corals, sponges and barnaoles that, if wood, the creaking timbers fall apart and slowly but surely are absorbed in the waste at the sea bottom.

Luxuries of the British Capital In Am- cient Days���������The Social Status of the Trader. Not a few interesting things come*- out when we study the history of mediaeval London. One of them is the* eocial status of the trader. The fashionable contempt for his business is of comparatively recent growth, not much more than a century old. No- precise date can-"be given; but in the* earlier part of the eighteenth century the feeling on the matter was not what it became in the nineteenth. For hundreds of years before then, the connection between the, country and the city, the country gentlefolk and the,city trader, had been most, intimate. No more striking evidence* of this can be given than the analysis* of the origin of the 203 Lord Mayors- from Henry Fitz-Aylwin down to the* year 1633, a period of 210 years. Of these 156 were country born. When we consider what the mediaeval village was, -how limited was the horizon of all but the lord of the manor or a knight here and there, it is not ��������� difficult to understand why many lads of good birth Bought the opportunities offered by apprenticeship in* the city. Camden is quoted to show that the nobility thought with shame- of the merchant's career. He himself declared "mercantura non derogat no- bilitati." These same country lads- supplied the city, as indeed they do- now, ^with the necessary fresh blood and energy. Another important point is the fact, that London was always great as a distributing not as a manufacturing centre. And this fact no legislation, no system of duties could alter. Fraternities of foreign merchants established themselves in their fortified? houses and kept their trade jealously to themselves. The crown, so long- as it got- its tolls and duties, was content. Now and then, indeed, it endeavored to restrict their increasing- trade, but its ordinances were always- evaded. For London wanted what they alone could supply. It could supply itself well enough with necessaries, as Sir Walter Besant says, but neither London nor England has ever been content with necessaries. The mediaeval city of 500 years age- was as full of luxuries assis the ci$,y of to-day���������the best shopping place im northern Europe in the jays of Ed- ���������_ ward HI., as it is in the, days of ;Ed-" ward VII. Entire fleets laden with) nothing but wine came to London. Once or twice there were periods when*, a man could "get dead drunk for twopence," as the fascinating invitation, of a later time put it; but the drink had by that time been changed from* wine to gin. Mediaeval London had, indeed, the best of everything, paying for it all in wool. So Capgrave has- it: "Our enemies laugh at us; they say: 'Take the ship oft your gold noble and impress a sheep instead.'" (This was the noble of Edward III.) Napoleon repeated the taunt, but the laugh was not in the end with the foreigner. And how, it may be asked, did these good things go backward and forward? Not always securely. We could not always command the Channel, though we still claimed the- sovereignty of the seas, x In this respect thingB reached their worst, we* are told, in the 14th century. Foreign merchants settled in London and' traded. They came from Venice, Rouen, Genda, Florence, Lombardy, Antwerp and Dantzig, And so the period' was a halcyon time for pirates, lor lords of manorB who had foreshores, for fl8hermen and for wreckers,���������-From The Spectator. Wolieley's Drsad ,of Invasion, Lord Wolseley has written two letters to Lord Wemyss on the possibility of the invasion of England. Tha following are some of the most striking passages!

"The day will come when she will violently and suddenly lose her former 'fighting renown to such an unmistakable extent that the plucky fishwives will march upon Downing street, and it they can catch iti usual inmates, will rend them, "One party is as bad as the other, and I hope and pray that when tha national misfortune of a great defeat at lea overtakes us, followed by the invasion of England or Ireland���������very possibly the latter ��������� that John Bui! will turn and rend the Jawers and talkers who prevent us from being prepared to meet invasion." i ��������� ������ ) *u������nr,y una his t-are.

The "food tax" upon its energies has been too heavy. Bileans just ���������enter the stomach, and, dissolving there, they liberate certain herbal essences which at once corrct the gastric glands. These essences also pass into 4he blood and are carried to the liver. There they operate on the bile-secreting cells, and are carried to the delicate vessel's of the intestines. All along, these herbal essences act beneficially, so that digestive disorders are corrected, the bowels are gently opened���������not violently purged���������the acid and fermenting substances are removed from the body, the blood is cleared of poisons and a feeling of lightness and restored vigor, with a rfeturn of healthy appetite and freedom from all digestive troubles is the result, i,,Bileans also cure constipation, debility, female ailments, piles, headache, and all liver, kidney arid stomach disorders.

Lord Graham, who last summer married the only child and sole heiress of the late Duke of Hamilton, thus securing not only a charming wife but the richest matrimonial catch in the United Kingdom, is determined to play a more useful role in life than that of a mere beneficiary of the great fortune of his marchioness. For he has joined one of the biggest shipbuilding firms on the Clyde as an active member, and, although a partner, is so earnest about the matter that he is putting ih a sort of apprenticeship in the various departments and is just now engaged in fitting out a deep sea steamer with suction gas engines. He is not merely superintending the job, writes the Marquise de Fontenoy, but is leading a hand, garbed in overalls, taking all the bruises and bumps that come his way. Lord Graham is the eldest son and heir of the Puke of Montrose, a good looking, wholesome young chap, full of energy and determination to be a useful citizen. He was trained for the royal navy, but was turned down on account of a defect in his hearing. He thereupon dropped his title, joined a big sailing ship as a sailor before the mast, making several long voyageB in that capacity, then became third, second, and first mate, and finally won his diploma as a sailing master. Incidentally he learned by personal experience much valuable knowledge concerning the merchant navy, its needs, and its interests. And whenever he speaks about the matter in the House of Commons he always is listened to with respect as an authority on the subject. He served through the Boer war with distinction, tried his hand at politics in South Africa, and gave the thing up in disgust owing to the difficulty of reconciling conscience and self-respect with the necessities of party strategy, and returned to England to wed his present wife, whose other landed possessions ���������nclude the big Scottish island of Ar- ram.

During the past year the total income of the Stratford waterworks was $23,914, and the working expenses $7,757. This left gross | earnings of $16,157. The interest and sinking fund amounted to $9,811. Seven hundred dollars was paid over to the City Council as office rent, and the balance was spent in extensions to the system.
