Three years ago Miss Ellen Roberts, who holds the position of saleslady in one of the leading stores in Halifax, N. .S., was a pale delicate looking young woman,, who then lived at home with her parents at Amherst, N, S. She complained of general weakness and loss of appetite, Her blood was thin arid watery and she grew thinnerday by day until she looked almost a sha- dow. Her cheeks were sunken, all trace of color had left her face and her friends feared she was going into de- cline. "I had no energy,'' says ?viiss Roberts, "and suffered so much from the headaches and dizziness and other ' symptoms of anaemia that I felt I did snot care whether' I lived or died, One day, however, when reading our local paper I read 'a testimonial given by a yqung girl in favor of Dr. Williams' 'Pink Pills, and as her symptoms were almost identical with my own I deter- mined to try this medicine. . Before I 'had used the second box I began to .find benefit, and I continued taking the gills until I had used seven or eight 'boxes, by which time I was fully re- sLored to health." To -day Miss Rob - erns looks as though she had never been ill a day In her life, and she has no 'hesitation in saying ,she owes her pre- sent energy and health to Dr: Williams' 'Pink Pills, Bad blood is the cause of all common diseases like anaemia, headaches, pale- •ness, general weakness, heart palpita- tion, neuralgia, indigestion, and the -special ailments that only womenfolk :know. Dr. Williams' .Pink Pills cure these common ailments because they make rich, red, !health -giving blood, 'bracing the jangled nerves and giving strength to .every organ in the body. De not take any pills without the full .name, "Dr. - Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," on the wrapper around each box. Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at. 50 cents a box, or six 'boxes for $2.50 from the ,Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville; Ont. b HOW JAPAN IS GOVERNED. -- An Impressive View of Her Quiet, Sell - Contained Statesmen.. Sit in the gallery of the lower house 'of the Japanese ' National Parliament sand observe thence the new force that civilization and education have loosed upon the rest of the. world. The chamber is comfortable, conven- ient, and planned for , business. The members sit at desks: facing the speak- er's high dins midway of the long side of the room. Ten or twelve members swear the almost obsolete native cos - time; the others are garbed like Euro- peans. You •wi11 notice first of all that these men do not sleep, like rmnl.rers' of the British House, nor read, nor write, nor transact at their desk their private business, like the representatives at Washington. They listen to every word of every speech. They are liberal . t ;.•s applause and dissent. Everything that is said seems to mean something to them. There are no long, dreary liar engues, and no permissions to print in the Record; Members that address the House mount a rostrum just below and in front of the presiding officer. Their speeches are short, sharp, direct and full of point. Often they are witty and very often eloquent, but never are they entered for the endurance prize. You cbserve the faces intent upon the. speakers, the lines of long, strong, square -jawed, brown faces, and it star- tles you to reflect that the powerful, in- domitable nation of which this grave deliberative assembly is the symbol has been created In 50 years from the least promising of materials; that in fifteen years it has been lifted to the front ran.ks among peoples; that all the world has been cif -hazed at its performances. And then you will suddenly perceive that in your eyes every face before you is an Impenetrable mask. From each you receive a definite impression of power-- quiet, ower—!quiet, self -sufficing, conscious power; but beyond this nothing. All you can see are eyes, nose, mouth, and the blank stone wall of an expression from which no amount of.. scrutiny will en- able you to draw a hint of the trouble within. A WEDDING SUPERSTITION. The chances of marriage or •61d -maid- enhood have beer). the subject of many superstitions which vary in different parts of the world. In Norway the girls used. to weave a wonderful net of the finest hair, worlkieg ten minutes of an evening by moonlight, in the belief that those who „toiled thus successfully for thirty moonlight nights would surely be married before three years had pass- ed,.. The girls who broke the hairs given them to work with, or who tore holes in their nets, wore destined to be old. maids. DISPELLING A HALLUCINATION.

How These Strange Birds Make Their Ness and Raise Their Young. Probably on the earth's surface !hero is no more desolate and forbid- ding region Ulan Victoria Land, to the Antarctic, It is absolutely without vegetation, Save a little occasional moss -a rocky, barren, snow and ice strewn waste. Yet here the penguin may be said to have made its home. So unfamiliar are penguins with man that Louis Bernacchi of the Southern Cross expedition states that when he set but to examine a row of them sitting solemnly on the ice (this being their. normal attitude) they appeared. to • be filled with 'as much curiosity as he and started to meet 'him half way. When they met the birds showed not the least sign of fear, but walked around the ex- `plorer, examining him at all points,. and then,' apparently satisfied, wad- dled back to their former position on the ice. THEIR FAVORITE HAUNT. • Before ' the Antarctic \renter seta in the penguin migrate from Cape. Adan, which appears to be their favorite haunt. They do not, however, go north of the circle, and the wonderis that they go as far as they do, Being they have no wings to carry them.. We may be sure that only the sternest 'neces- sity dictates • migration in their case. About the end of October (it will be re - Membered', of course, that the Antarc- tic winter 'corresponds with our sum- mer) the migrants begin to return, at first in small groups or files ; but as the days advance their numbers grow ro the proportions of an invading army. On they. come, waddling over the ice, erect and soldier -like, but inplaces where the snow isthick they will fall upon their breasts and use. the feet and flippers to propel them along. NEST .BUILDING. When Cape Adan is reached the wanderers scatter themselves over its rugged declivities in their tens of thou- sands and proceed at once to nest building.. This, it need hardly be stated, is a very siinple operation, consisting. merely of scratching a hole in the old guano and surrounding it with peb- bles. These latter, by the way, are a considerable source of trouble,for the birds love to steal from ` one another. A fight between the nest building fe- males is described as an extremely corn teal affair, but when two jealous reales. set to the business becomes serious and is suggestive -(by reason of the action of the flippers` of nothing so much as a first-class "mill." APPEARANCE OF YOUNG. At length the eggs (two to each pair) are laid and the females take to incu- bating. Extraordinary to relate, during this : process, or for a period of thirty- one days, absolutely no food is taken, but snow is frequently consumed. The first young appear during the second week in December. They are quaint, dark, fluffy little creatures, butvery greedy and grow rapidly. They are fed exclusively on fish, or crustaceans, the only .food procurable in the Antarctic. Is it not wonderful to think. in this con- nection of the sagacity of the male in being able after returning •from a fish- ing expedition to identify his' own family amid such a colony? An idea of the size of the colony may be formed when itis staled on the best authority that the din created by it is like the roar of a vast multitude of people. IIOW TO SWIM. By the middle of January nearly all the young birds have outgrown their down coats and been seduced to the water's edge and taught how to swim. For four months following they haunt every bay and headland, usually sit- ting idly with an expression of profound sadness. Can we wonder they are sad, seeing they are doomed to, live amid such scenes? By all accounts the Ant- arctic in its crude horror of desolation simply beggars description., HOW IT SPREADS. The first package of Dr. Leonhardt's Hem -Reid (the infallible Pile cure) that was put out went to a small town in Nebraska. It cured i case of Piles that was con- sidered hopeless. The news spread, and the demand prompted Dr. J. S. Leonhard; of Lin. coln, Neb., the discoverer, Lo prepare It for general use. New it is being sent to all parts of the world. It will cure any case of Piles. 81.00, with absolute guarantee. All dealers, or The Wilson-Fyle Co., Lim tied, Niagara Falls, Ont.

Interesting Gossip About Some J»rola- inent Peaple.

One item related to weekly visits which the Minister paid to a mysterious individual, supposed tobe an enemy of the Government, with whom he spent an hour or so on each occasion, The ' individual in question was, as a mat- ter of fact, his chiropodist! One of the oddest of royal hobbies is that followed by Queen Maud of:. Den- mark, who' for years has made ivory her hobby. Not only has she a fine col:, lection of ivory statues andother art obbut e objects, she collects ivory in the. tusk as well, and has a large collection of trophies of the elephant chase, many of which were sent to her by her bro- ther, the present Prince of Wales, who has doubtless added to the collection during his trip through India.

Dr. James Gale, the blind scientist, • is nearing the completion of his seventy- third year.

There is in the possession of the Czar a very remarkable watch. It was made by a Polish mechanic named Jules Cur- zon. The late Czar had heard some wonderful tales about the inventive ability of this man, and, wishing per- sonally to test his skill:, he sent him a parcel containing a few copper nails, sooto wood chippings, a piece of broken glass, an old cracked china cup, some wire, and a few cribbage -board pegs.
