In thousands of homes throughout Canada there are bright,'thriving chil- dren who have been madewell and are _ kept well by the use of Baby's Own Tablets. In many homes parents say this medicine saved a precious tittle life. Dr. A. Danais, L.D.S.. Riviere du Loup, Clue., says: "At the age of five months we thought our little girl dying. No- thing we did for her helped her until we gave her Baby's Own Tablets; and only those who have seen her can rea- lize what a change this, medicine has wrought in our child. She is now about eighteen months old, eats well, sleeps well and is a lively, laughing child, and weighs. 37 pounds. We always keep the Tablets in the house now for we know their great value." If mothers wish to feel absolutely safe, they should keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets in the Arouse always. They cure all thb minor aiiments of children and are absolutely sate.

Platonic Philosopher $hocks Brilliantly Dressed Society Women. Dl'. Reich, in applying Platonic phil- osophy to the education of woman et Claridge's hotel, London, the other af- ternoon, shocked his audience of brilli- antly dressed society women by making a suggestion, which, if carried out, would effect a radical alteration in the lives of many of them. "One of the greatest needs in England to -day is the abolition of the nursery," lie declared bluntly. "Begin to educate your .daughters when they are young, and do not leave them to hired persons. Let mothers .infuse everything good ;n their personality intotheir offspring by close contact and care, "SOLITUDE." "Over the face of every child in your nurseries is written one big word—`so- Etude,' Diogenes went about with a' lamp in search of a man. I am afraid that some one will say in years to come that in England a person went aboat with an Edison lamp in search of a mo- ther who wanted to educate her own ebild." These home thrusts roused the wo- men to protest. -"If we abolish the nursery, `what becomes of the husband?" asked one matron, "We cannot look of ter both." "Does the wife look after the hus- band?" Dr. Reich inquired, with jus a tinge of astonishment in his voice. "She ought to, ought she not?" was the reply. The danger's of hairdye, . hair -wash and other similar lotions were dwelt upon by Dr, Milian, of Paris, at the Anti -Quackery Congress. It, appearsthat some dyes intended: to shade the hair to any dark color from a chestnut brown to a jet black are most dangerous. Numerous cases of eczema and various disaffeotions were men - gonad as resulting directly from persis- tent dyeing of the hair. ,"It is," said the lecturer, "a common occurrence for a hairdresser to get bad attacks of eczema on the hands from merely handling the dyes, Women sometimes use the same hair -dye for years without feeling any evil effect, and then, apparently without cause, the skin of the head becomes very red, a rash ensues, and sores are formed. Some- times the eyelids become swollen and red, and a painful eruption breaks out on the neck, breast and arms. Such skin diseases paused by hair -dye are al- wayb difficult to get rid 0f," After being told that rouge for the lips often contained sulphate of mercury, and that cheap rouges frequently pro- duced sores on the lips, it was with a sigh of relief that the ladies present at the lecture heard that the black pencil used for pencilling the eyebrows was quite harmless and inoffensive. You cannot be happy while' you have corns. Then do not delay in getting a - bottle of Holloway's Corn Cure. It re- moves all kind of corns without pain. Failure with it is unknown. t PAINTED MEN. Dr. Reich thought that husbands did not care for too much attention, and would be glad if their wives directed more attention to the children. An American expressed the opinion that the abolition of the nursery would at the same time destroy the repose of the home. The general view of the au- dience, in fact, seemed to be against any such change. Dr. Reich, who seemed to be in an especially sever mood, also condemned what he called the absurd attempt of girls to intimate man in various ways. "They take to gymnastics too early, end become too tall and thin," he said. "Consequently, their sons, when they marry and have any, are alsotall and thin, with narrow. chests.'.' As evidence of this the lecturer point- ed to . the average British officer, whose face was fine, dignified, and noble, but whose chest was poor, and not that of a real soldier. "Your women ought to be wider and not so tall," remarked Dr. Reich. The great point aimed at in the edu- cation of woman should be tact, con- cluded Dr. Reich, and if she possessed tactful adaptability that was all. ;he wanted. "A tactful' woman is like a painted man, who is no man at all," he said. MILLIONAIRES' FEAST. Superb Banquet in London to the Viennese Choir. Amid a blaze of light and profusion of red roses the 300 members of the Weiner - Maennergesang Verein — r r Viennese Male Choir—dined at the Savoy Hotel, London, England, recent- ly. The setting of the banquet was worthy of the guests. Mr. Pruger, the manager of the Savoy, again had proved himself magician. Dinner was served at seven. Two hours later the courtyard; which had served as a reception tent, was transformed into a picturesque Tyrolese village. On one side rose ,the grey walls of a royal castle, while on the corner Aus- trian' peasants served lager beer. Aus- trian national flags were hung across the hall, and at a given signal cham- pagne began to flow from a central fountain. Men attired in the uniform of Austrian guards made dignified obeisance to the distinguished guests, while over them all there presided a' plumed and bcmedalled hero, who at one time served the Aus- trian Emperor. It was Austria in the Savoy. "It is wonderful," said Herr Krupp, el the famous firm of gunmakers, the pres- ident of the Imperial Royal Exhibition, who gave the dinner to the visitors. "Entente cordiale does not half express one's sentiments. The prettiness of the scene is equalled only by the warmth of the reception that England has accorded us." The choir, as stated in the London Express, is composed of wealthy men. Many of them own large hereditary es- tates, others have made fortunes In. commerce. The following is a list of the chief guests, with the amount of their for- tunes:— Herr Krupp (guninaker) - .. £8,006,000 Herr Schneidorhohn (straw.. hat maker) 1,300,000 Herr'°Duschnitz (rope maker)1,250,000 Count Metzdorff ....

In bare figures the drink hill for 1905 for Great Britain amounted to $820,830,- 705, or an average of $28.95 for 8ar.01 person in the British Isles. A bett-ir idea, perhaps, may he gained of 1ha total amount when it is mentioned that in sovereigns it would weigh 1,285 tons, and if it was required to carry t 1, weight of gold any distance, six trains,. each consisting of thirty-five freight cars, would have to be ernpioyed. Laid edge to edge the sovereigns would cover Oil arca of nineteen acres, or if laid in a line would form a Chain of Over 2,2.2J Tr iles in length. A road 30 feet wide and ve and a hall miles in Length could be laved' in gold with the millions spent drink last year,, while a railway four - cot -way could be covered for thit'ly- our' miles. • "By the way, Bis,lop, why is it that you always address your congregation as 'Brethren' and never mention the women in your sermons?"

Once Abundant—Attempts Made to Re- introduce Them tido.Tbat Country. Among the exhibits et a meeting of the Zoological Society in London re- cently was the almost perfect skull of a wild boar which was recently dug up during building operations in James street, Oxford street, says the 'London_ Daily Graphic. Like the beaver, the wolf, the bear and the reindeer, the wild boar, though long extinct in this country, was formerly very abundant in the terseforestlands which once surrounded the site of Lon- don, and its remains are not infrequent- ly unearthed in and around the metro - polls. It is not certain when the last wild boar was killed in England, but it. was probably in the reign of Charles II. or soon afterward, for in the book of accounts kept on the Chartley estate is the following entry, dated 1683 : "Paid the cooper for a paile for ye wild swine, 2-0." . It is, of course, possible that the wild Swine alluded to were merely individuals preserved in Chartley Park, and that the boar had been exterminated as a 'really wild animal long before, but whether the swine were preserved at Chartley or not it is certain that another species of the wild animal—the white cattle—found a sanctuary there, and it was not until quite recently that the herd that descend- ed from the original stock preserved in the park was dispersed. Attempts have been made to reintro- duce the wild boar into England, but they have had to be abandoned, partly because the forests which they haunted in past ages are now cultivated lands and gardens, and partly because . the havoc these huge and destructive beasts commit among growing crops is not to be tolerated by our already oppressed agriculturists. No person should go front hone with- out a bottle of Dr. J.

A new appliance for enabling firemen to work in the midst of smoke and fumes has just been tried in San Fran- cisco. A hood, lined with oilskin, covers the head, and receives a supply of air from three cylinders. The fresh . air is inhaled from a tube in the hood and the exhaled air is expelled through a kind of respirator over the mouth. A fireman worked for an hour in the midst of sul- phur fumes, and the hood enabled him to do it without the slightest discomfort to his throat and lungs. LARGEST LOAVES IN TFIE WORLD. The largest loaves of bread baked in the world are those of France and :Italy. The "pipe" bread of Italy is baked in leaves two feet or three feet long, while, in France the loaves are made in the shape of very long rolls four feet or five feet in length, and in many cases even six feet. The bread of Paris is distri- buted almost exclusively by women, who gc to the various bakehouses at 5.30 a.m. and spend about an hour polf'shicg up the loaves. After the loaves are thoroughly cleaned of dust and grit, ttie "bread porter" proceeds on•the round of her customers. Those who live In, apart- ments or flats find their loaves leaning against the door.
