Cu no Her Own Work Now.
Doctor Said She Had
Heart Trouble.
Weighed 125 Pounds. Now Weighs 1$5,
Mrs. M. McGann, Debee' Junction,
N.B., writes:-" I wish to tell you what
Milburtee Heart and Nerve fills have
done for me. Three years ago I was so
run dawn E could not do my own work.
I went to Is doctor. and he told me I had
heart trouble and that my nerves were all
unstrung. I took his lneelicine, as he
ordered me to do, but it did me no good.
I then started to take Milburn's Iieart
and Nerve Pills, and had only taken one
box before I started to feel better so I eon,
tinned their use until I had taken several
boxes, and I am now strong and well,
and able to do my own work. When I
commenced taking your pills I weighed
125 pounds, and now weigh 185 and
have given birth to a lovely daughter,
which was a happy thing in the family.
Wheu I commenced taking Milburn's
Heart and Nerve Pills, I could not go up-
stairs s'ithout resting before I got to the
top. I can now go up without any
trouble."
Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are
50 cents per box, or :3 boxes for S1.25, at
all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of
price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited,

HOW COUNTRY GROWS,
As eta indication of the growth and
prosperity ander the present Govern-
ment a few figures would be interesting.
In 1891, Canada exported farm products
to the value of $50,591,002. In 1908 this
had increased to $121,171,199.. Exports
of manufactures in 1896, $9,315,884.
Increased in 1908 to $28,507,124. Ex•
past: of forest products in 1896, $27,175.-
686, increased in 1908. to $44,170,270•
Bacon and hams exported from 1885
to 1896, twelve years. $18,827,928, in-
creased from 1896 to 1908 to $135,156,-
311.
135,156;311. Batter in same period $10,513,348,
increased to $51,680,095. Cheese iu
Lame period, $127,611,423, increased to
$247,790,332. Wheat in same period
$45,838;791, increased to $212,677,659.
These figures illustrate the expansion
of trade from an agrioultnraI standpoint
since the present Government came into
power, and no reason can be found for
changing such a satisfactory condition
of things, apart from the desire of pol-
iticians to secure office.

Model Schools Missed.
Oommenting upon the recent exam-
ination for entrance into normal schools,
The Ohesley Enterprise saye:
"Under the present system it means
at least three years in high school and
one year at normal, at an expense of
at least 8800 to parente not living in a
town in which a high school is
located, not taking into account any
oharems for a tenure, either, in the
four yeera' course. This is enough to
discourage moat parents from allow.

teacher's course in high school, be.
canoe the expense is too heavy. The
old model school system was the poor
man's friend, and many a country boy!
and girl would never haus got, a start'

every county, The full effect of the
wholesale failures of those trying for
'entrance to normal' examination will
be felt next year When the successful
normal candidates are inadequate for
the demand, and the rural trtteteee will
have a greater diflioulty than ever for
the fall term of 1910. We look for-

climax the failureof 1]r. John Seath's

THE BEAVER AT HOME.
Park Ranger Robinson Tells of Its.
Habits in the Wilds.
Old trappers tell us there are two
kinds of beaver ---the house beaver
and the bank or lazy beaver, an out-
cast from respectable beaver society
because he refuses to work, simply
piling up a few sticks against an old
root or stump for a house, says Park
Ranger Mark Robinson of Algonquin
Park in a recent article in Saturday
Night. However, my companion and
I discovered that there are two
elaeses of the bank beaver, one being
very industrious. Tliey can be found
in large numbers on North Muskoka
river, where they dig subterranean
passages from beneath the lo v water
inark up into the high books. In
many instances small piles of sticks
and brush, well covered with mud
and moss, concea':ed the passage way
as a protection from enemies and
frost. On all the small streams enter-
ing North river the beaver have built
houses, which causes many to ask
how is it the river beaver do not do
the same. The only reason I can give
is that for a number of years timber
drives have been taken down North
river, and the logs would destroy all
houses in the rush down stream. A
couple of lessons have taught the
beaver to dig into the bank and adapt
himself to circumstances, as they do
on the lakes along the Pettawawa
river where for many years timbering
has been going on, the water being
constantly raised and lowered by
means of timber dams. On the lakes
between Burnt lake and Catfish lake
can be seen beaver houses fully 40
feet in length extending from below
low water mark to several feet above
high water mark. Some of those
ileuses are estimated to contain from
ten to fifteen cords of peeled sticks,
Om bark being taken off for food,
then the timber used in construction
of the house.
I asked an old experienced trapper
how it was that beaver families are
said to number from two to six
young, yet the most I had seen was
three young around any dams I had
watched. He replied that he had
trapped hundreds of beaver both
autumn and spring in the Park be-
fore it was a Park. He had,,s;tudied
all the native animals but had given
the beaver extra study. He had
found that at birth beaver families
sometimes number as many as six,
but only on one occasion had he seen
four young survive, Almost always
the number is two.
During the months of lune and
July the old beaver are selecting new
places for darns, houses, etc, They
usually leave the old house with the
two -year-olds who have remained at
the old home until that age, and,
taking the younger flock, commence
to build a new house and dam. This
is usually completed by the end of
August or early in September. Then
commences the storing of wood for
winter use. Small trees of various
kinds are cut and brought to a quiet
pool, the ends being forced into the
rnud if there is a soft bottom. If
there is a solid rock bottom the brush
is put in a pile and anchored in some
way. The brush is not placed on top
of the pile as many suppose, but the
beaver is careful to always build hia
brush pile from the underneath side.
Eskimo Customs.
Although living among so many ap-
parent disadvantages, and in so un-
kind a land, the Eskimo has a good
conceit of himself, and holds his race
to be the salt of the earth. This dos
trine they uphold by a queer Iegend,
according to which the Almighty first
made different tribes of Indians and
different nations of white men, but
He was not pleased with them at all.
At last He made the Eskimos, and
then resibd from His labors, perfectly
satisfied. So they are the people of
the earth. And surely, none but the
hardiest, most courageous of the chil-
dren of men could inhabit those bleak
abandoned regions of the Far North,
and survive its appalling tempests
and freezing Cold. Their history, so
far as it can be pieced together, is ex-
traordinarily brief, yet their language
and legends are full of romantic in-
terest.
The language of the Eskimo has
only one remarkable peculiarity --
there seems to be no limit to the
length of a word. All manner of parts
of speech may be joined to the verbal
root., and. this compound may be con-
jugated in all moods'' and tenses like
a simple verb. When Rev. Mr. Peck,
the Canadian missionary, first went
among them, he devoted himself to
the study of the uncouth tongue, and,
atter seven years of six hard, studious
home every day, he mastered the lan-
guage-
anguage• and produced a grammar of 200
pages. Next, he transcribed portions
of the Moravian Eskimo Testament in-
to what is known as the syllable char-
acter, a wonderful invention for
simplifying the art of reading and
writing for the Eskimos. As soon as
the alphabet is conquered, the scholar
--man or w0rnan-can begin .jbe first
Chapter of Genesis, and read on--
slovrly, of course, at first, but in a
few, dayti with surprising ease and
atettracy.
