Weak, languishing girls lade under the strain. They risk health rather than lose employment and the lose of health means the loss of beauty. Thousands of earnest intelligent young Women who earn a livelihood away from bonne in public oLU.ce3, and business es- tablishments are silent, suffering vic- tims of overtaxed nerves and deficiency of strength because their blood supply is not equal to the strain placed upon theme. Fragile, breathless end nervous, they work against time with never a rest when headaches ant.' backaches make every hour like a day. Little wonder their cheeks lose the tint of health and grow pale and thin. Their eyes are dull, shrunken and weary; their beauty slowly but surely fades. Busi- ness girls and women loop older than their years because they need the fre- quent help of a true blood -making, strengthening medicine to carry them through the day. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are actual food to the starved nerves and tired brains of butsiness wo- men. They actually make the rich blood that imparts the bloom of youth and glow of health to women's cheeks. 9r hey bring bright eyes, high spirits and ntake the day's duties lighter. Twelve months ago Miss Mary Cadwell, who lives at 49 Maynard street, Halifax, N. S.. was run down. Tho least exertion 'would tire her out. Her appetite wa, poor and fickle, and frequent headaches added to her distress, The doctor treat- ed her for anaemia, but without appar- ent results. A relative advised her to use Dr. Willams' Pink Pills, and after ming but six boxes she says she feels like an altogether different person. She can now eat her meals with zest, the color has returned to her cheeks, and she felt better and stronger in every way. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure blood- lessness just as food aures hunger. That is how they cured Miss Caldwell and it is just by making rich, red blood that they cure such common ailments as in- digestion, rheumatism, headaches and backaches, kidney trouble, neuralgia and the special ailments which make miserable the lives of so many women and young girls.

Stories Showing Dow Two Persons Faced Great Peril. Women display courage in their own incomparable fashion. Typical of wo- man's method of encountering danger is the story of the woman who observed as she was concluding her toilet for the night the presence of a burglar under her bed, says the Strand Magazine. Without letting the man know that she had perceived him, this woman quietly put on her dressing gown and knelt down at the bedside to say her prayers. She prayed aloud. She made her own personal intercessions to heaven and then prayed for all poor sinners living in the darkness of estrangement from. God, "particularly this unhappy man lying under my bed, meditaling the wicked- ness of stealing and perhaps of mur- der." The woman saved the situation. I cannot imagine a worse situation than that of a certain steeplejack who found himself one day at the top of a church steeple with a madman grinning into his eyes. The madman was his mate. Both men had been at work on this steeple for many days and had talked together while they hung in the saddles with the utmost accord, but on this particular day one of the men looked up to see madness in. the eyes of his companion. In that moment he vas alone with danger. No shout could avail. From the street below he looked like a spider snoozing in its web. The roofs and chimneys of the houses seem- ed to be level with the ground. High rep in the loneliness of the empty air he was alone with a madman. The man kept his wits about him, and addressed some cheerful remark to his mate. The madman only Finned. The man bade him look alive, that they might the sooner get below and enjoy themselves. The madman chuckled, and announced that they would get be- low in double quick time, for that he was going to jump from the steeple with his friend in .his arms. The other laughed as if at a good jest, and turned to his work. Then he began pushing with his feet against the steeple. to get a swing into his saddle; he meant to grab the madman and hold him tall help came. But the madman was also swinging his saddle, and before the sane man realized his danger the mad- man's fingers were closing round his throat. There they swung in the dizzy air, high over the unconscious city. 13y something of a miracle the men found his hands clutching at his tool box as • be swung back. His hands closed on a wrench. He grabbed it, made an upr ward thrust with his strangled body, and caught the madman a jangling blow er,ross the side of his head. Then he clutched the fellow's body to save it from falling, and. after a moment's breath- ing, quietly lowered himself and his un- conscious mate to the ground below. KELP CHILDREN WELL.

WEAPONS. Unwritten Law of the Reigning douse of Europe. For obvious reasons it. was natural thatt the Spanish police should not be anxious to seciire the bomb which did not explode when thrown at the royal couple. • There was a reason behind the desire to nip iu the bud chance of further damage, There is an unwritten law in the reigning houses of Europe, says the London Evening Standard, that all re- lics of attempts upon royal lives, as -011 ae• the instruments used for treat- ing the wounds caused in such attempts shall be destroyed. There was a 'solemn assembly in Geneva of Austro-Hungarian officials to witness the destruction of -the instruments which caused the death of the Empress Elizabeth and of the surgi- cal implements used in making the post- mortem examination. The custom is based to a certain ex- tent uponsuperstition, but more solidly upon the determination to prevent the relies from falling into the hands of ex- hibitors of such *tragic trifles. The custom in this matter once was to grind to pieces the weapon which had been employed. When, however, the dagger was secured with which the priest Martin Merino attempted to mur- c;erQueen Isabella of Spain, rather more than half a century ago, the bladewas found to be of such finely tempered steel that it resisted every effort of file and stone. Something like a panic was caused when the news got abroad; the Spanish peasants imagined that there must be magic in the blade. So a Cabinet was especially summoned to deal with the crisis, and it was determined to submit the steel to the influence of acids. This proving successful, all implements used for the like foul purpose have under- gone the like treatment—knives, swords daggers, tfevolvers and, presumably, bombs. 11 was a cruel irony that the bombs thrown at the young King and Queen et Spain should be Hurled by a man secreted in the only house in Madrid owned by Queen Christina. This,` at first sight is surprising. Napoleon III., in the terror which Orsini's attempt in- spired, bid for safety by buying up the houses facing the Tuileries, so that bombs should not be flung thence by his enemies. It is from places whose position should guarantee their safety tnat danger comes Only a miracle prevented. Alexander II. from being blown to atoms in his own winter palace. The Grand Dunce Serge was assassinated outside the law courts ar St. Petersburg; Gen Bobrikoff was slain when entering the Senate; M. Plehve was struck dead with his secret police all around him; the King and Queen of Servia perished in their own palace. A blow by the would-be murderer upon. such an occasion as a short time ago l>i aimed in spite of the most elab orate precautions of the police of Europe The detective forces of all the capitals cf Europe are represented at this mo ment at Madrid. Probably all the an- archists societies in Europe, too, are represented there. Plots are always on foot, though they may not come to anything. The police get to hear of a movement; the conspir- ators are warned of the discovery and abandon their plans. The authorities do not unnecessarily display their know- ledge. There is danger in publicity, the anarchist is imitative, and will strive to share the fame, as it is esteemed, of the man who,discovered in a• felonious enterprise, becomes' for the moment a European figure. 4 YOUR SUMMER OUTING.

Women of the Upper Congo Wear Them Round Their Necks. The Bayanzi, who live 'along the Up- per Congo, have a strange custom which makes life a burden to the married wo- men. Great brass rings are welded around the necks of the wives. Many of these rings worn by the women, whose husbands are well-to-do, weigh as much as thirty pounds. Frequently one sees a poor woman whose neck is galled by the heavy weight, and in places the skin is rubbed off by the ring. This is a sure sign that the ring has been recently welded around the neck. After a short time the skin become calloused, and then the strange ornament produces no abra- sion. The weight is a perpetual tax up- on the energies. In every crowd of wo- men may be seen a number who are supporting the' ring with ,their hands, and thus for a time are relievfng their weary shoulders of the burden. A ring is never put around a woman's neck until she is believed to have at- tained her full physical development. Once on, it Is no easy matter to get it off Women who increase largely in flesh, after the rings have been fastened on their necks, are in danger of strang- ling trangling to death. and instances of this sort have occurred. Somo of the women regard thetcurieus ornament with pride, imagine it en- trances their importance and beauty,:. and wear their burdens with light -Metes,: Small Johnny : "Well, don'I, worry about it, You can take•3 cents out of my bank and buy another pint of !DEPTH OF OCLA.N CABLES. Soule Cases In Which the 'Wise Men Miscalculated.. Pessilnistic prophets sometimes sound sage and logical, but the unreasoning optimist who sees better things despite argument outetrips them, In the days of Stephenson's early ex- periments it was predicted that a speed of mor'.e than twelve miles an hour by rail would be impracticable, if for no other reason than that the human sys- tem would not withstand travelling at a higher rate of speed, In the early days. of steamboats it was declared that transatlantic steam navi- gation would be impossible, mainly be- cause of the inability to provide room aboard ship for the coal that would be necessary for the voyage. The prophet had scarcely done speaking when the news arrived that a ship bad just finish- ed a trip across the Atlantic under steam. So with transatlantic cables. Soma promulgated the belief that they could never be laid because the density of the water belowa certain depth would be 30 great that the cable would not sink to the bottom of the ocean. All the wise folk regardless, however, of their predic- tion, have 'saw the cable promptly de- scended to the ocean bed at a depth of 10,404 feet, and within the last year a cable was sunk in the Pacific Ocean in the vicinity of the Ruffin Islands at a depth of 26,246 feet. A BANK'S VERY STRONG SHOWING. The forty-second annual meeting of the Shareholders of the Merchants' Bank of Canada was held in Montreal on -the twentieth instant. This institution has an eminent board of directors and„ has numbered among its officers some of Canada's greatest business men. An able directorate like this undoubtedly influences a bank's business, and this fact is probably in w measure respon- sible for the splendid accumulation of a rest fund of more than three and a half millions and a remarkably large propor- tion of assets immediately available. These two points mean great strength from the depositors' standpoint, and should be carefully investigated and compared when considering a bank for deposit purposes.. The Merchants' Bank in the year just closed earned in net profits about three- quarters of a million, and carried for- ward two hundred thousand dollar's of this to the rest fund. One hundred thousand dollars was written off the Bank Premises account. The notes in circulation amount to $3,984,050, an increase of about $300,000 over 1905. Deposits at call amounts to $11,349,169.99, while deposits subject .to notice total $222,834,055.89. The total assets, how- ever aggregate $49,541,955.27, and of this $19,526,456.54 are immediately avail- able. The capital stock is $6,000,000; the rest ftind $3,600,000, or over 50 per cont. of the bank's capital. The surplus pro- fits carried forward this year after pay- ment of dividends and addition to rest fund and officers' pension fund amount to $74,596.19. The payment of quarter- fy dividends, beginning with the current financial year, was decided upon. These facts and figures, when care- fully' analyzed, show conservative, though progressive, up-to-date manage- ment. One important indication, in particular, of the confidence of the depositing public in this institution ;s the very marked increase of deposits over last year. It seems that the in- crease was general throughout the year, and was not the result of any large in- dividual deposits, and, therefore, show special and uniform progress in this department. Mr. E. F. Hebden has been acting general manager for the past year, and the very satisfactory position of the bunk in this year's statement made his permanent appointment as general man- ager a foregone conclusion. It is safe to say thair. •Mr. Hebden will carry out the safe principles and the large con- servative development of this old estab- lished institution. t CHINESE NEW YEAR. The Chinese New Year is a most thor- oughgoing festival. ` The houses and other buildings are lavishly decked with flcwers and lanterns on the eve of the great holiday, and the streets are throng- ed with people who have come out not only to buy provisions, new clothes and gifts, but also to settle their accounts, for, by an exemplary custom of the Chinese, all debts must be paid before the close of the old year. An End -to Bilious. Headache. — ousness, which is caused by excessive bile in the stomach, has a marked ef- fect upon the nerves, and often rani., fasts itself by severe headacnes. This is the most distressing headache one can have. There are headaches from cold, from fever; and from other causes, but the most excruciating of ell is the bilious headache. Parmelee's Vegetable Pills will cure it—cure it almost im- mediately. It will disappear as soon as the Pills operate. There is nothing sur- e' in the.treatment of bilious headache. NOT THE BIGHT ONE.

One might as well swallow some corrosive material. Par - melee's Vegetable Pills have not this disagreeable and injurious property. they are easy to take, are not unpleas- ant to the taste, and their action is mild and soothing. A trial of them will prove this. They offer peace to the dyspeptic. Very seldom does the photograph of a woman look lifelike—perhaps because she had her face closed when it was taken.

"You will have to endorse this," he remarked, as .he pushed the cheque back. • The soldier stared. "What for?" he asked. - "Well, I cannot pay the money un- less you do," replied the clerk. "Where shall I endorse it?" asked the servant. "There," was the reply, as the clerk pointed to the back of the cheque. The soldier took the pen and wrote as follows : "I beg to say that I have known Lord Roberts for several years, and he has proved himself, times with- out number, to be as brave as a ' lOn, but alwoys kindly considerate towards, all who serve under him. And I have therefore great pleasure in respectfully endorsing his cheque. James — -."
