aehea, together with disturbance of
the digestive organs,
Whenever you have constant or re-
curring headaches and pallor of the
face, they show that the blood is thin
and your efforts should be directed to-
ward building up your blood, A fair
treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills will do this effectively, and the
rich red blood made by these pills will.
remove the headache.
More disturbances to the health are
ceased by their blood than most people
have any idea of, When your blood
is impoverished, the nerves suffer
from lack of nourishment, and you
may be troubled with insomnia, neuri-
tis, neuralgia or sciatica. Muscles
subject to strain are undernourished
and you may have muscular rheuma-
tism or lumbago. If your blood is
thin and you begin to show symptoms
of any of these disorders, try building
up the blood with Dr, Williams' Fink
Pills, and as the blood is restored to
its normal condition every symptom
of the trouble will disappear. There
are more people who owe their pre-
sent state of good health to Dr. Wil-
Hams' Pink Pills than to any ether
medicine, and most of them do not
hesitate to say so,

$10,000 fora Postage Stamp.
The one -cent postage -stamp of Bri•
tisk Guiana in worth over $10,000.
There is only one known specimen
in existence. It was issued in 1836,
and is at present in the collection of
a Parisian stamp collector.
Another philatelic treasure is the
twopenny "Post Office" Mauritius. The
specimen in King George's collection
was sold in 1904 for $7,250. To -day it
would fetch a much bigger amount,
The history of the issue of this
stamp is curious. Mauritius, in 1847,
decided to follow the lead of the
Mother Country and issue stamps. A
local watchmaker was commissioned
to make two dies—one for a penny
and one. for a twopenny, stamp. 13y
mistake the words "Post Ofllce" were
engraved on the plate instead of
"Post Paid," Five hundred impres-
sions 'of each stamp were taken, and
as soon as these were used up the dies
were discarded. Only twenty-two
specimens exist to-duy,
The Hawaiian Islands two -cent
stamps of 1851, of which there are
only about a dozen in existence, are
worth at least $4,000 each.

Hymn -Book Humor.
Hymns have provided some pf the
richest jokes that ever raised a laugh.
A lay preacher, acting on a request
made to him juet before the service
began, asked the morning congrega-
tion to join in singing hymn 986. He
was alarmed when he discovered that
the first line of the hymn was "The
day is Bast and over."
But his diseoxniitiire 'was not so
great as that of a minister who, on the
Sunday after his marriage, unthinking-
ly opened a service with a hymn which
reads, "Oh, woe is me; what tongue
can tell my sad afflicted state?"
Even the sanctity of the church
could not restrain the merriment oc-
casioned when a preacher who had un-
consciously sat down rather heavily
upon a box of matches in his coat-tail
pocket, rose to announce the hymn,
"See how great a flame aspires," while
all the time his coattails were burn-
ing.
On another occasion at a Sunday
school festival, it was arranged that.
the children, after parading the vil-
lage, should march into the church as
the service was beginning. The scene
would have been impressive had not
the wrong opening hymn been select-
ed. The Oast verse of "Hold the Fort"
had been sung and just as the school
superintendent, at the head of the
children, was walking down the aisle
the congregation was singing "See the
mighty host advancing, Satan leading
on."
An unhappy choice was that of a
deacon who, called upon to 1111 an un-
expected gap at a harvest festival ser-
vice, gave out the hymn "Lord, what
a wretched land is this„
The selection of hymns for the roar.
nage service has often led to fun. The
bride-to-be who selected "Oft in dan-
ger, aft in woe" for her marriage ser-
vice was under no delusion as to her
future prospects. Less confident was
the girl who requested that "I know
not what's before me; Gad kindly veils
my eyes" should be sung.
But perhaps for sheer cynicism the
selection of a bachelor minister takes
the palm. Asked to officiate at a wed-
ding ceremony, he chose as hymn,
"Deluded souls who dreain of heaven
and seek to find it here below."
•
Camouflaged Nature.
Nature knew all about camouflage
long before the Allies ever thought
of it. If the hadn't, it would have
gone hard with many of the' birds and
insects.
Among birds, as you know, the f e -
male is always more inconspicuous
than the male, so as not to be seen
on her. nest. Her colors usually, if not
always, harmonize with the ,surround-
ings of the nest. Sparrows streaked
with shades of brown are almost in-
distinguishable from the dry grass
they nest in, while the female scarlet
tanager, nesting in the leaves, is not
scarlet at all but green, like tlhe
Ieaves.
The female bobolin]t is sparrow-like,
but even her mate is camouflaged. The
"upside-down bird" he is rightly call-
ed, black on his breast where the
shadow falls, buff and white patches
on his back where the sunlight strikes
him as he sways among the grass
tops.
The meadow -lark's back is incon-
spicuous enough, but his gleaming
yellow breast would betray hien in an
instant. So instinct tells him to keep
his back turned toward you, and if he
sees you coming you may have diffi-
culty'in getting in front of him.
I have seen a little blue heron hold-
ing his long neck motionless and stiff
above the marsh -grass, his bill point-
ing heavenward, so that he looked
precisely like a dead stick.
Insects even more than birds mimic
the things that surround them. The
locusts, whose inner wings are often
so gaily colored, disappear as if by
magic when they have dropped to the
ground. Their, outer wings, folding
closely over the other's, are just the
color of dust. Many moths closely re-
semble the lichens on the tree trunks
where they often alight. The queer
walking -stick insect you can scarcely
tell from a twig, his shape as well as
color serve to hide him so well.
Be a nature student. Every coun-
try boy and girl should be on intimate
terms with the trees, birds, flowers
and insects.

Evening.
I shall not mind—not when the sun
rides high,
And men too busy are to love or
weep;
I think I shall not miss the unsinging
sky
As in the silent gravel lie asleep.
But oh, the earth shall throb above my
heart,
In that soft hour, after the day is
done,
When from our river nook, serene,
apart,
The spars rise thick against the set-
ting sun.

Where's. Mother?
Bursting in from school or play,
This is what the children say,
Trooping, crowding, big and small,
On the threshold, in the hall,
Joining is the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by,
Where's Mother?"
From the weary bed of pain
This same question comes again,
From the boy with sparkling eyes,
Bearing home his earliest prize;
From the bronzed and bearded son,
Perils past and honors won,
"Where's Mother?"
Burdened with a lonely task,
One day we may vainly ask,
For the comfort of her face,
For the rest of her embrace,
Let us love her while we may,
Well for us that we can say,
"Where's Mother?"

Jack's Answer.
The schoolmistress was giving a
practical lesson an fractions.
"Children," she said, "here is a piece
of meat. 1f I cut it in two what should
I have?"
"Halves," said the class in chorus.
"And if I cut it again?"
"Quarters," came the reply at once.
"And if 1 cut it again?"
"Eighths," said half the class, the
other half maintaining a dignified
silence.
"Good! And if I cut the pieces
again?"
Dead silence in the Blass, but one
hand was raised in solitary state at
tl>e back of the room.
"Well, Jack, what is the answer?"
"Please, ma'am, mincemeat."
