The Conservative majority after these vacanoiea have been filled, will be reduced to nine, and three or these are found frequently supporting the Government.

Her very fragility finds its type again in the frail flower, which languishes when neglected, and la so eoHily destroyed. It Is a pretty simile and almost as perfect aa pretty. All women love flowers, aud every woman who grows them knows tbat their health depends on dally eare. Not alone are water and sunshine necessary to tbe health of the plant.

I f a woman would-eare for herself sa sh. docs for her plants she would preaerw her beauty and retain ber strength far beyond the period wben the average woman, looks old and feel, older than sbe looks, THE GREAT SEORET Of woman's preservation nf her beauty lies in tbe intelligent care of tbe womanly health. So close ia tl.e relation between the health of the delicate womanly oigans and the health of the whole body, that whenever the feminine tactions are deranged or disturbed the consequences sre felt by every nerve tn the body.

Tbe Interests Involved In tbis case wero very large, and It wae not practicable lhat ths original check should us tampered with or chemically treated. For purposes of testimony sn enlarged photograph of tbe check was taken by Dr. Doronius, wbo wss colled as an expert. In tbe coso. The lirst trial resulted in no decision, and on the second trial what purported to be the original check was produced. It wos handed to tbe cashier of tbe bank for Identification. He examined It and said: "Tbis Is not tbe original check." "How do you know that?" demanded tbe amazed lawyer. ' "Becauso In the bonding of Iho original cbeok 1 picked a bolo in the center of each of tho Vs' witb a pin," wss tbs reply. "Tbis chock bos not theso holes." In all otber respects tbe clicok seemed to be Identical Tbo court called for Pr. Doremus' idiotograph to he produced. It plainly snowed tbe pin boles.
