AN OPEN LETTER`
From W. J. Gage, Esq., Toronto
A Problem of National Importance
Dear Friend :-
A bright young lawyer at the Muskoka Sanatorium for Consump-
tives some weeks ago, speaking of the burden placed upon him by having
consumption, said :
" One has to lead a life of concealment. If I go away from this place
people are afraid of me."
This is the sad lot, of those who suffer from this dread disease.
On behalf of the thousands who are sick and will not be received by
other hospitals, I make this appeal for the Muskoka Free Hospital for
Consumptives.
Nearly 10,000 people from every part of Canada aided in this good
work last year, sending us $26,000.
The Trustees have faith that a still larger number will help.
The Physician's offices, throat rooms, etc., up to the present have
aecupied rooms in the hospital that rightly belong to patients.
To make better provision for the work, and furnish more accommo-
dation, a now administration building is now under way. A cottage for
the Physician and his young wife had also to be built.
To provide for this outlay, and to care for patients for the coming
• year, wo must secure at least $60,000.
The Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives never refused a
patient because of his or her inability to pay. It cares for those whom
other hospitals refuse. It cares for those whom other people are
afraid of.
"I was sick and ye visited me," was Christ's commendation.
Should not aricher benediction be yours if from a loving heart your
dollar makes a golden visit to this hospital, bringing health and joy to
those whom other people fear, and whom, in many eases, nobody wants.
*ill you have the luxury of giving l •
Faithfully yours,
Toronto, 1907.

Leap Year Opportunities.
The present year, 1908, is arleap year.
It is the Ant time we have had it for
f our years, and meet people do not ex-
pect it again for anothetfour years. It
is the year in which the fair sex is sup.,
posed to have full sway, and in which
these who do not claim to belong to
that class must await their pleasure and
invitation. It is the year in which the
masculine wall flower flourishes, and
despair grips deep into the hearts of
those outside the garden of lgye, It is a
chance alto for the girls to show the
boys bow things should be done,' and to
express in deeds their opinion of the
actions of the different boys during the
past three years. A young man will
seldom atop to realize the peculiar post.
tion the girls are placed in, but after
ploughing through the ups and downs
which they are now confronting, the
fu ture may find one and all more willing
to see that the young ladies are equally
looked after at all the looal functions.
Next week another little 8 to 12 dance
will be given in the opera, to be carried
out on the leap -year plan. The young
man will sit about and enjoy the affeo.
tionsof the young ladies, and any of
the latter who de not have their share of
dances will be unable to lay blame on
the male wallflowers or the boys around
the stove.

MAKES. LIFE MISERABLE
Troubles That Keep Half the
Wingham Doctors Busy.
Half of the proscriptions that the
Wingbam (lootore write are for troubles
that result directly from a weakened
stomaoh. Strengthen the stomach
mneclea, increase the secretion of gastric
jnioes. and you will find that common
afflictions -indigestion, with its head•
aches, dizziness, depression of spirits,
spots before the eyes, nervoianese,
sleeplessness and general debility -have
been overcome.
From now on build up the strength
and health of the stomach with Mi -o na
tablets. You will soon find yourself
strong and never know the meaning of
indigestion.
If Mi-o•na did not have an unusually
curative effect in stomach disorders. it
could not be sold on tha guarantee given
by Walton McKibben to refund the
money unless it does all that is olaimed
for it. He gives an absolute, unquali-
fied guarantee with every 50.cent box of
Mi.o.na that the money will be refunded
nnlese the medicine cures. Walton
MoKibbon takes the whole risk, and
yon certainly can afford to get Mi-o-na
from him on this plan.

"SOME DAY."
[S. E. Kiser.]
Why wait for "some day" to display
The greatness we intend to show?
Why wait till we are bent and gray,
And they are dead who long ago
Looked after us with tear -dimmed eyes,
And gave their blessings and believed
That we possessed the strength to rise
Tq heights we never have achieved?
Why wait til] "some day" to possess
The honor that we mean to claim,
To make them see our worthiness
Who stir our hatred with their blame?
Why wait till they too cease to care,
Why wait for kinder winds to blow?
Why not make this day be the fair
"Some day" wo dreamed of long ago?

A SCRAP OF PAPER,.
it Was the Means of Bringing a Mort
cisrer to ,Justice.
Scraps of paper have on several oc•
rasions been the mourns of throwing a
ligkit on some of the greatest criminal
mysteries of modern times. Ilad It
not been for the minutest scrap of
tissue paper it is quite possible that
the notorious Franz Muller would have
remained a free than to the end of his
days.
After foully murdering a Mr. Briggs
in a railway carriage on the North
London line Muller made off with his
victim's hat, When caught several
months later a top hat declared to be
Mr. Briggs' was found in bis posses.
sion. Its shape, however, had been
considerably altered, and :Muller In-
sisted that the hat had been bought by
himself.
Was It Mr. Briggs' hat?
'•1f it is Mr. Briggs' hat," said the
hatter who supplied him, "you may
find a piece of tissue paper in the lin.
trig. Mr. Briggs' bat was too large for
hint, so I put the paper in to make it
fit.,'
S't'bett the lining was ternt'd down a
scrap of paper which had adhered to
the leather was discovered. :Muller
had a bigger head than Mr. Briggs and
bad therefore resolved to take the pa-
per out, Ile left that little bit, how-
ever, sufficient to establish the identity
of the hat beyond all question as that
Mr. Briggs was wearing wheu he was
murdered.
This is only one iustance among
many where bits of paper have solved
great mysteries. -London Answers.
ART OF THE ETRUSCANS.
Mysterious People Who Loft Traces of
a Remarkable Civilization.
Why did the Etruscans devote their
whole lives to the incessant snaking of
pottery until it accumulated in such
quantities that they were compelled
to bury it in order to keep room fol`
themselves in their streets and houses?
Then, again, there is the mystery of
the I.truscan inscriptions. These in-
scriptions are fairly numerous, but
hitherto they have proved to be utter-
ly undecipherable. The Etruscan is
the only dead language that has defied
investigation. Considered as a lan-
guage, nothing could seem more im-
probable than the hieroglyphics of the
Egyptians, but Egyptologists can read
them with such ease that almost any
given series of hieroglyphics can be
read in three or four ways by an equal
number of rival E.gyptologists. Any
language snore utterly impossible at
first glance than the Assyrian arrow -
headed language could not well be
imagined, but there are mauy learned
Wren who can read, write and speak ar-
rowhead with facility. And yet no man
can make the least sense of the writ-
ings left by the Etruscans, although
they are written in Roman characters.
All that we know of the Etruscans
seems unreasonable and preposterous.
Naturally this makes them fascinating
to every one who delights in mystery
and the solution of puzzles.
The Paper Told the Tale.
A certain Greek adventurer some
years ago undertook to palm oil upon
the public some false copies of 11i
gospel manuscripts. Many learned men
were deceived, but not Dr. Coxe, libra-
rian of the Bodleian library at Oxford.
Ilow he detected the fraud was related
o •:
in his own words in the Spectator:,
I never really opened the book. but
I held it in my hand and took one page
of it between my finger and thumb
while I listened to the rascal's account
of how he found this most int;r.s:h:g
antiquity. At the end of three or tour
minutes I handed it back to 11 1111 with
the short comment, '`Nineteenth ce:1-
tury, paper, my dear sir," and he too:z
it away in a hurry and did n tt co:ne
again. Yes, I was pleased, but I have
handled several ancient mannscr'pt.;
in my time, and I know the feel of o:d
paper.
Effect of Whistle on Rattlesnakes.
"Should you ever encounter n rattle-
snake and he shows fight just begin to
whistle softly and the reptile will un -
'doll and lay with his eyes closed and
body quivering," said a Tennesseean.
"011 more than one occasion I have
run across rattlesnakes and have al-
ways taken the fight out of them by
whistling. The snake seetus to become
absolutely helpless when he hears a
soft whistle and will make no attempt
to spring upon you. This whistle ap-
pears to soothe his anger and robs him
of fighting power. I saved my life on
one occasion in this manner. Try it
and you'll find that I tell the truth."
What, Indeed?
A duchess requiring a lady's maid
had an interview with one, to whoa,
after having examined ger appearance,
she said, "Of course you will be able
to dress my hair for me?"
"Oh, yes," replied the girl; "it ne'rer
takes ins more than half an hour to
dress a lady's hair."
"Half an hour, my child!" exclaimed
the duchess iu accents of terror. "And
what on earth, then, should T be able
to do with myself all the remainder of
the morning?"
His Diagnosis.
A London citrate the other day re•
mixed an astonishing answer to an
inquiry after a parishioner's health,
"Well, sir," said the parishioner,
"sometimes 1 feels anyhow, sometimes
I feels nohow and there be times when
I feels as stiff as a hinsmidge."
His Point of View.
