"Of course you cannot go down town leY yourielves, but you may have }roue wishes granted as far as pos- sible if you think you will have a happy doe." - "GOody I Goody Goody I" screamed the twins, "Let's go out and paddle." There had been a little shower, and the gutiers were brimming with water. Tile twins were soon having a fine time dabbling in the mud; with no one to tap on the window and tell them tO be care- ful. Their clothes were soiled, and they had mud in their hair, but all the time they were laughing and having a good time together. "Now. , 'tieLs have some sandy and cookies." said Mollie, after a long time spent In splashing and playing In the water. "nm hungry." "Come, children,' called Miss Ethel, from aeross the garden fence. "You know this Is the day we are to have our king ride on the trolley and eat out. lunch at that pretty house out in the counley, where we pick flowers. Hurry up„ for we want to start in half an hour." The twins loolced at each other and then at Mese Ethel. "We'll have to get mamma to wash us up," said Molly. "We forgot 011 about the ride." "1 never could get you ready In half an hour," said their inamma. "You said you wcitild be happier if you didn't have to be washed, so run and have a good time." It isn't a happy day at all," sobped Max. "The sand in my hair doesn't feel good, WM I'd rather have clean hands to eat &aides. I wish I had been a good boy." "And I wish I never had wished,' wailed Molk'y. "What's all this?" asked Miss Ethel. "I'll get Molly ready if Mrs. Pope will attend to Max. YOu can carry yew - hats, and the hot sun will soon dry your hair. Don't cry." So it turned out to he a happy day after all, but the twins did not fret about the things they had to give Up to gie to the little picnic.

The quantity of food, taken into the stomach in twenty-four hours, must vary according to se; age, circum- stances, and personal habit. A healthy man of average bulk, doing a moderate amount of week, reqttires about four and a half ounces of nitrogenous food -representeel by butcher's meat -three ounces di fatty material, and fifteen ounces of sugary and starchy stuff. Wo- men, as a rule, need nine -tenths of the _quentity required) by 4104100 efathLe"t sixteen, the seine as women, an dell- dren of about ten years, half the quan- tity consumed by an adult. The first meal Eihould comprise one. third of the 'meat, and two -sevenths of the starchy fnatter; the dinner should incliade the remaining two-thirds of the meat, and three -sevenths of the starchy and sugary material; and the evening repast should account for the last two - sevenths of the starchy and saccharine food. r, SERIOUS CUTS. In dressing a cut, bathe the wound with cold water that, If possible, has been previously boiled. Cut atrips of sticking -plaster an eighth of an inch wide. When the bleeding is checked draw the edges of the cut together and strap it with plaster, leuving a narrow space between. each strip. Cover the whole with a layer of absorbent cotton, bandaged in place with a narrow strip of cotton. Do not disturb for several days, unless blood oozes through and »tains the dressing. MEASLES. Measles commence with all of the or - (finery, indications oh a slight cold, such as running at the nose, red, watery eyes, and a cough. About the fourth day after the conunencement of the attack the rash begins on the face unti extends over the body and limbs. By the seventh day the yash begins to fade and the fever declines. Treatment: Be- gin with a dose of citrate of magnesia, and follow with ipecacuanha. For drink use flax -seed .and lemonade. If there is much cough, use syrup of squills. NATURES TONICS. Nature furnishes the very best of Ion- ics In fruits and vegetables. W ater- cress is particularly valuable if one is afflicted with skin Irritations. Spring onions, radishes, and lettuce, dandelion, celery and rhubarb are all beauty foods, Onions are one of the finest nerve tonics in the world and are very good for those poor, unlucky ones who suffer from insomnia. SUNSHINE AND SLEEP. No syrup of poppies, no tincture .1 opium, no powder or morphine can compare in sleep-lnducing with sunshine Therefore, it is easily understood Mal sufferers from insomnia should paes as inane, hours as possible in sunshine, living to a great extent in the air. TEMPERATURE OF THE Slai-ROONI A thermometer ahould be hung against the wall near the bed and the record frequen tly noted. The tem peril 1 u re should be kept as nearly as possible at 66 degrees F., and on no account ahould it be allowed to descend below 50 dg. A COMMON COMPLAINT. Nose-bieeeling is sometimes caused by a bump or knock, or it sometimes m- iters wIniout this in the case or nerv. ous children. A piece of ice wrapped in cotton placed on the bridge of the nose and the back of the neck will often give relief. WILL RUN FAR NORTH. C P. II. Starts Survey for Extension of Temiskamine Line.

Proposed Reduction of British Navy Finds Favor in Germany. German critics are divided into two classes an the reduction et the British naval programme. One large section of Germans absolutely refuse to regard Sir Henry Campbell-BannerMan as be- ing sincere. and declare that all the talk ol peace disarmament is mere bluff, In- tended to bamboozle Germany. They declare they will not fall into the trine or dream of joining any movement for Bic limitation of armaments. Germany intends to build warships rapidly, knowing Viet Britain will build them, too. despite the Liberal assurance of u n iv ersa I peace. The other clas.s regard Sir Henry as a sort of curiosity, They say they cannot understand how a man of such opinions can be entrusted with the supreme post in the British Empire. The orly Germans v ho share the Premier's views are the revolutionary Social Democrats and a few insigniii cant Radicals, whose allitudi Is C011. .lemned by the vast majority of the nu - Ism In responsible ilerinan citch 3 the I iberul policy excites satisfaction, il ix felt that evt,ty move that weakens Britain strengthens Germany's inter- national position. The British Govern- inent In reducing the building pro. gramme of the navy. is simply playing Germany's game. These Oertnans are not pro•peace polittelans, but pro -Ger - 'man arid anti-British.

The inmatee in many cases were unable to escape. The shock was followed al- inost-immetliately-by a Dem -storm, tit wind prostrating walls that he'd been weakened hy the earthquake, and these broke trolley wires, which flashed in- cessantly. The second shock was even heavier than the first. SLIGHT SHOCKS CONTINUE. A despetch from London gays: A cable despatch Med late on Tuesday night by the agent at Valparaiso of Huth 4 Cce, says that slight shocks continue, and that further large fires have occurred there.

A despatch from New York says: Adolfo Ortusear, ConsetleGenerat for Chlree ettid 'on Wednesday that „he be. lieved Valparaiso would be rebuilt with- in six months, and that trade would be conapietely re-established before that time. The Chilean representative's op. timistio prediction as to trade was fay. orably seconded by several merchants who do buelness With the stricken city, though they did not believe that the dinnige done by earthquake and fire could be repaired ln „the time set by the ConsuaGeneral, HORRIFYING DETAILS. A despatch from Santiago says: Some of the horrifying details of the terrible disaster came here on Wednesday in the first mail that has been received sinee the earthquake began. Fifty chil- dren In one house were crushed and three Catholic nuns, who were attempt- ing to rescue those in the ruins, were killed by another shock, which brought the remainder of the building down. The only light on the first night of the earthquake was that thrown by the feeble rays from the ships In the har. bur, The street were Mimi with wild, shrieking people. The crush of falling buildings on all sides and the noise of breaking glass was a terrific din, The next morning brought a terrible eight. Bodies lay exposed on all sides.

President Riesco hos sent a telegram to the Rothschilds, declining their offer and aid, saying that Chili can rise un- assisted. Congress is awaiting further information as to the extent of the dis- aster before acting on the proposition: for raising a loan. eonimercial inter- ests are opposed to a scheme for the suspeneion of payments, claiming that the proposed issue of 80,000,000 pesos will save the situation. Many rich families In Valparaiso have been eompletely ruined. One million. sire, Mr. Edwards, lost 40,000,000 pesos (about 315.000,000) alone.
