posed that they Were toiether some-
where, and getting on nicely. She
did not quite know what f3lie wouid
get them for a wedding present, but
she determined to run up to town with
Frenk and look about her. There
*were sure to be pretty things in the
shops. Meanwhile she was very well
satisfied. Frank seemed all right, and,
that being so, leIrs. Leicester hardly
noticed that, as the days went by, his
little cousin was not quite her simple,
hopy self of a fortnight earlier, and
that these two, who had been such
allies, were 110 longer on their old
footing.
Gilbert rdade na attempt to resume
tho talk which was broken off in the
ruined castle. He appeared to have
tacitly accepted Mrs. Austin's offer of
friendship witnout eicplanations; and,
though from time to time he would
turn to her with sonus allusion te the
paet, some "Do you remember?" which
sent her thoughts away from Cul-
verdale to scenes where he alone
could follow, he tonched always on
those earlier recollections which
needed no apology from him and
no pardon from her. She would an-
swer readily enough; but Gilbert, who
reraeraberecl the time when she be-
lieved in him, Ives at to imagine a
delicate, yet unmistakeable irony in
her untroubled smiie. To Frank it re-
vealed a wonderful far-off tranquility
but then Frank was very much in
love. Mrs. A.ustin had opened his
eyes, and. he was prepared to spend
his life in a rapturous study of this
first miracle. He felt himself at a
disadvantage with regard to South,
wb,o coald 'look back to a past in
which she had a share instead of a
degrading memory of measles and ex-
treme youth; yet, in spite of this
humility, he was not unhappy, Mrs.
Austin could not fail to perceive his
devotion, but she never for one mom-
ent euppoied that there was anything
eserioue or lasting in It. It seemed
to her like a little nosegay of orifig
flowers, which she inight accept with
a gracious word o1 thanks, and she
was tpuched by the thought of its very
transitoriness. She was very kind to
Frank. Within a week she had learn-
ed his ways, and looks, and words, as
one Might learn the few simple notes
of a bird in one's 'garden; and yet
they blessed her better than a more

Rules That Will Simplify Some
Examples in Aritinnetio,
It is often eOnvenient to know
whether a given naminr is divisible
by another without golug through tha
usual process of divishnt. Almost
every one lenowe that, however large
nulather may be, it is divisible; by 5
if the last digit is 6 or 0. The follow.
Ing gives tlae rule for sortie other num-
bers;
A number is divisible bY 2 when the
last digit is divisible by 2; by 3 when
the sum of the digits le divisible by
8.; by 4 when the number represented
by the last two digits is (liveable by
4; by 5 when the number ends in 5
or 0; by 6 when it is divisible by 2
and also by 3; by 8 when the number
represented by the last three digits is
divisible by 8; by 9 when the sum of
the digits is divisible by 9.
Far example, the number 1728 is di-
visible by 2, because its last digit, 8,
is divisible by 2; by 4, because 28 is
divisible by 4, and by 8 because728
Is divisible by 8„ It is also divisible
by 8 and by 9, for the sum of ite digits
total 18, a number divisible by 3 and
by 9, Since it la divisible by 2 and
by 8, it it also divisible by 6.

From a national standpoint the nickel
question has been badly handled in Can-
ada from the beginning, but more es-
pecially throughout the war. The war
afforded complete justification for tak-
ing control of the nickel situation, and
the war still affords that justification.
The whole business ought to be Made a
national monopoly, and it ought to be
done now with a completeness that will
leave nothing out to form the nucleus
ot future misunderstandings.
The largest Monument Of the human

AN ANXIOUS TIME
FOR ALL PARENTS
Children Often Seem to Pine Aevay
and Ordinary Medicine Does
Not Kelp Them.
The health of children between the
ages ot twelve and eighteen years,
particularly in the ease of girls, is a
source of serious worry to nearlY
every mother. The growth and de-
velopment takes so much of their
strength that in many cases they ac-
tually seem to be going into a de-
cline. The appetite is fickle, bright-
ness gives way to depression, palpi-
tation at the heart at the least exer-
sion, and sometiraeo fainting. The
blood has become thin and watery
and the sufferer must have some-
thing that will bring the blood back
to its normal condition. At this
stage no other medicine can equal
Dr. 'Williams' Piale Pills. Their
whele mission is to make new, rich
blood which reaehes every part of
the body, bringing back health,
strength and energy. Miss Helena
Taylor, West Toronto, says: "Two
years ago I was so badly run clown
with anaemia that some of my
friends did not believe I would get
better. I could not go upstairs with-
out stopping to rest, suffered from
headaches, loss of appetite, and for
two months of the time was confined
to the house. I was under the care
of a doctor, but the medicine I took
did not help me in the least, A friend
advised ruy mother to give me Dr.
Militants' Pink Pills, and although I
did not expect they would help me
after the doctor's medicine had fail-
ed, I thought they might be worth
trying. After taking two boxes there
was such a marked change for the
better that people asked me if I had
changed doctors, and I readily told
thous the medicine that was helping
me. I continued taking the pills un-
til I had used eight boxes: when my
health was fully restored, and I have
since enjoyed the best of -health. I
hope my experience may be the means
of convincing some sickly person that
Dr. Williatiss' Pink Pills can restore
them to health."
You can get these pills throeigh any
dealer in medicine, or by mail, post
paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50, from The Dr, Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
Origin of Blotting Paper
Blotting paper was discovered pure-
ly by accident. Some ordinary paper
was being made one day at a mill in
Berkshire -when a careless workman
forgot to put in the sizing material.
It may be imagined what angry scenes
would take place in that mill, as the
whole of the paper was regarded as
beteg quite uselese. The proprietor
of- the mill desired to write a note
shortly afterwards, and he took a
piece of the wastepaper, thinking it
was good enough for that purpose.
To his intense annoyance the ink
spread all over the vaper, All of a
sudden there flashed over his mind
the thought that this paper would do
Instead of sand for drying ink, and
he at once advertised his wastepaper
as "blotting." There was suck a big
demand that the reill ceased to make
ordinary paper, and was soon occc-
pied in Making blotting only, the use
of which Spread to all countries.

Capturing Elephants.
Rounding up elephants is in pro-
gress in several places in India. At
Sukna nine elephants have been cap-
tured and one of them a huge beast,
refuses to eat in captivity. Six were
sent on to Chaise, where One of
them charged the other elephants,
and bowling over one of them, killed
the mahut. The other day a ttisiter
charged the only camping ground in
the Tendu forest, but fortunately a
European assistant prevented a
Panic. Not long ago a herd tools
possession of the short branch line
frotn Latiguri to Rarashahl. The
driver did his best to frighten then
*off, but at the- last morrteat one of the
animale made for the engine and
damaged it slightly, though it was
itself thrown off the line, and is be-
lieved to have broken a lee.

Minard's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia.
There is perhaps one of the Inoet
curlew collections of books in the
world to be found in a small teens on
thecontinent of Europe, says the Lon-
don Tit -Bite. It is really a botanical
collection. Outwardly each volume pre-
sento the appearance of a block of
wood, and that is what it actnallY is.
But an examination reveals the fact
that it i,s also a complete history ot
the partieular tree which it represents.
At the back of the book the bark
has been removed from a space whieh
allows the scientific and the common
name of the tree to be placed as a title
for the book. One side is formed from
the split wood of the tree showing Ito
grain and natural fracture, The other
side shows the wood when worked
smooth and varnished. One end ehows
the grain as left by the saw and the
other the finely polishecl wood. Cer
opening the book it is found to con-
tain the fruit, seeds, leaves and other
products of the tree, the moss which
usually grows upon its trunk and the
insects which feed upon tile different
parts of the tree. Theee are supple-
mented by a full description of the
tree. In fact, everything which has a
bearing upon that particular tree se-
cures a place in the collection.
The Eyes of the Musk Ox.
The skull of the bull Musk ox is re-
markable for the development of the eye
orbits, 'whichproject sufficiently beyond
the plane of the frontal bones to com-
rr.nsate for the interruption the horns
would otherwise make in the range of
vision. The musk ox, however, does not
ot,cin to rely greatly on keenness of sight,
far less on acuteness of hearing, for
the ears axe of small dimensions and are
completely covered by the heaVy growth
of fur about them. The organs of scent
are evidently more highly developed, and
they exact of the hunter his greatest
cunning,

Minard's Liniment Cures Dandruff.
Be Natural.
Holmes says that there are six people
present whenever two meet in th.rniersa-
tion—the real A. the real B. A. as he sees
himself, B as he sees himself. A as
B sees him and 13 as A sees him.
The remark comes back when one goes
out upon the street and considers him-
self •and the other people who pass,
particularly those who seem on the slip-
pery road to success. It Is whatthe
themselves who go by; it is what they
would have other people think them. If
they are young and Inexperienced the
must tighten up their faces with an ar
tiflelai solemnity; if they are getting o
in years they must affect an artificia
snappiness. They wear their outwarc
o.spects like clothes.
One feels like crying in the ears o
young men: "Be natural. Live or die,
sink or s:,v1m, survive or perish, but b
yourself.'

Gape of Good Hope.
In 1487 Bartholomen Diaz sailed far
enoughsouth along the western coast
of Africa not only to descry but to
double the Cape of Storms, as it was
then called, and as the eoast was as-
certained to run toward the northeast
the prospect of success in the direc-
tion of India seemed now so clear that
the Portuguese monarch renamed the
cape Cabo de Boa Esperanza, or Cape
of Good Hope. The "good hope" was
realized in 1498 by Vasco de Gama,
who, doubling the southernmost point
of Atrica, sailed on to Calicut, thus
opening up the long dreamed of route
to India.

The Oyster's Meals.
1
Oysters are most exemplary in the
1 matter of diet They were well-nigh
vegetarians, living almost exclusively
t on seaweed. The oyster is a most
- methodical feeder, a! wan' dining be-
tween the hours of 'twelve and two
t
the afternoon. When he wants his
e meals, he simply opens his gills and
, lets the water flow in, allowing it
run out again. Only in frosty weather
does the oyster go off his feed.' In or-
der to protect himself as much as pos-
sible from the cold, he lies with
e bulging shell uppermost, In this pod-
} tion he cannot open his shell, and
- must perforce go short of food; but
i would sooner starve than let the Cold
. water in to chill his delicate flesh.

, Light as a Cure.
Professor E. C. Titus in an address
a
r states that light is a much better cure
1. for disease than a hot water bag
5 poultice. He says that when rays
r light fall en the skin some are arrest
1
ed by one layer of skin and some
7;
; another, while some are not stopped
until they have penetrated the subcu-
taneous tissues. When the light is time
arrested it produces radiant heat,
s which has a higher penetrating power
than con.vection heat, such as gener-
ated by poultices, etc. Radiant heat
- pehetrates two inches or more, while
convection 'heat is excited principally
on the surface—Exchange.
