Every lover of horses will be in- terested in the following appeal. It originated in France and came to this country through a lieutenant who re- ceived a copy of it from a French ea - thieve' officer. "To thee, my master, I offer my prayer. "Treat me as a human being. not as a machine. Feed me, water and care for me, and, when the day's work is done, groom me carefully*; for, re- member, agood grooming is equiva- lent to hair a teed. Clean my feet and legs, and keep them in good condition. for they are the most important part of my body, "Pet nine sometimes. Be always gentle to me, s0 that I may serve•you. the more gladly, and learn to love you. "Do not jerk the reins. Do not whip me when I am"golmg uphill. Do not force me out of my regular gait, er you will not have my regular strength when yen want it. Never strike, beat or kick inc when. I do not understand what you mean; but give me a chance to understand you. Watch me; and if I fail to do your bidding, see if something is not wrong with in/ harness or feet. "Don't draw the straps too tight; give me freedom to move my head. Don't make my load too heavy, and, oh, I pray thee, have me shod every month. "Examine my teeth when I do not eat. I may have some teeth too long, or I niay have an ulcerated tooth, and that, you know, is very painful. Do not tie my head in an unnatural posi- tion, or take away my best defense against flies and,mosquitoes by cutting REGAIN HEALTH TH Through the New Blood Dr, limns' Phik Pills Actually Make. .N.Q ,,mother should allow nervous weakness to get the upper hand of nee. If she does worry will mar her work in the home and torment her in body and hind. Day after day spent amid the same surroundings is enough to cause fretfulness and de- pression. But there are other causes, as every mother knows, that tend to make her nerves run down. A change would benefit her jaded system, and rest 'might improve: her blood so as to give the nerves 'a better tone. ` But rest and change are often impossible, and it is then that all worn out wo men should take a short treatment with Dr. Williams' Pik Pills, which .lake new blood, rich with the ele- ments on which the nerves thrive. In this way these pills restore regu. lar health, increased energy, new ant t hition and steady nerve. There is a lesson for other women in the case of Mrs, Harry P, Snider, Wilton, Ont., who says: --"Five years ago my twin babies were born, and I was left very ft'weak and very miserable, hardly i to doa anything. The doctor gave e Medicine, but itdid not help me. Then I tried another doctor, but with no better results. One day I went house to my 'mother, telling her haw miserable I felt, and that the doctor's medicine bad not done ine any good. Mother asked` me why I did not try Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, and as I was glad to try anything that might help me, I got three boxes when I we.t back home. 3y the timene these were used there was no doubt they were helping me, and I got three more boxes. But I did not need theme all, for by the time the fiftbbox was used, I was entirely tarred, and never reit better in my lite, Now when I hear people talk about feeling weak or miserable I always recommend Dr. Williams' Fink Pills, and tell what they did for me, and in similar teases, I shall continue to recommend them.' At the first sign that the blood Is out of order take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and note the speedy improve - meta they make in the appetite, health and spirits. You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' 11edi- eine Co., Brockville, Ont. 1 Tine buffalo of the East, while do tneetie animal, is used in transpa t service equally with the 'familiar ox, from. which he is easily distinguish- able by his low set, down curving horns and 'muzzle carried almost straight forward. . People who are obliged to travel by buffalo cart are deserving of sym- pathy, for the buffalo is the slowest of all draught beasts. -It is his great strength that gives him.time advautage over time ax. The load that a single yoke of buffaloes will pull is astonish-, ing. In. India they are always given the.ltintl of load which is assigned to drayhorses here, ordinary horse work, except passenger traffic, Lemming per- formed by the hamped oxen, known elsewhere as zebus. India, indeed, is the native home of the buffalo, and it still exists there as a wild animal. Very wild indeed it too, and an old bull is very apt to at- tack unprovoked, contrary to the usual custom of almost all wild animals. Even its tame descendants retain plenty of spirit. It is said that when in a herd they do not fear the tiger, and a recognized method of getting "stripes” to bolt when he has taken -to cover is to drive in a herd of buffaloes to rout him out, which they will do to a certainty if they get on his scent.

Why She Smiled, Father objected to his daughter's swain—a fact of which the young man was well aware. But the lure of love is strong, and tho wooer often braved the wrath of the father for the sake of the daughter's smiles. One evening the old man found the young fellow in the hall when he re- turned from the club, and promptly. and efficiently hastened his departure. "Oh, dad." wailed the fair Phyllis, as the old chap limped into the sit- ting -room, "I hope you 'haven't hurt Arthur!" • "Ilurt him!" growled rather, as he sank into a chair and nursed his right foot, "No, I haven't hurt him! But if he comes here again with bricks in his coat-tail pockets, I'll kill him!" Edith Cavell.

Diarr- hoea, dysentery, colic and cholera in- fanturn carry off thousands of precious little lives every summer. The mother must be constantly on her guard to prevent these troubles, or if they come on suddenly to fight them. No other medicine is of such aid to mothers during the hot summer as is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels and stomach, acid an occasion- al dose given to the well child 'will prevent summer complaint, or if the trouble does come suddenly will banish it. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 res. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co,, Brockville, Ont. "HOW DO YOU DO?" Various Greetings m Vogue Among the Peoples of the Earth. In most Ameriean and European countries, when we meet a friend, ewe shake hands and say, "How do you do?" but in other climes the methods of greeting vary considerably. 'When two Arabians meet one an- other they rub their cheeks together, while a native of Burma pretends to smell his friend's face, pronounces it sweet, and then asks for a "smell." The Australian natives have a greet- ing which, if it were practised here, we would consider very rude. They stick their tongues out at each other. , If a Chinaman is riding, and anyone great passes, he immediately dis- mounts. ' The •Hindu falls in the dust before his superior, while the Turk crosses his hands upon his breast, and makes a very low bow, thus showing his re- gard without coming in personal con- tact with its object. A Jap removes his sandals, crosses his hands, and cries out, "Spare me!" But perhaps the greeting that would strike us, as the most strange, both physically and mentally, is that of the South Sea Islander. He throws a jar- ful of water over the head of a friend when they meet. War Privations. A major of the intelligence bureau of the War Department tells the fol- lowing anecdote: On the other side of the water the civilian has had to endure all sorts of queer privations and hardships. In many parts of France, for example,' there were no matches, no coal, no kerosene. . A mao was staggering along a dark street with a grandfather's clock on his bath.

The women in Brazil have not equal suffrage, but they have an equality with the men of their country which is not enjoyed by their North .American sisters, says a Rio de Janeiro des- patch. All Brazilian husbands are expected to wear their wedding rings as con- scientiously as their wives, and gen- erally they do so. The ring is a plain gold hand, the same as that worn by the wives in Canada. The women in Brazil unanimously are of the opinion that this is about the last word in equality, and it is doubtful if they would exchange the custom for the right to go to the polls.
