A MOTHER'S TRIAL Care of Nome and Children Of- ten Causes a Breakdown.. The woman at house, deep in house- hold duties and the cares ot mother- hood, needs occasional help .to keep her in good health, The demands un - on a mother's health are many and. severe. Her own health trials and her children's welfare exact heavy tolls, while hurried meals, broken rest and much indoor living tend to weak- en eaken her constitution. No wonder that the woman at home is often Indis- posed through weakness, headaches, backaches and nervousness. Too many worsen have grown to accept these visitations as a part of the lot of motherhood, But Many and varied as her health troubles are, the cause is simple and relief at hand. When well, it is • the woman's good blood that keeps her well; when ill she nr:ust snake her blood rich to renew her health. The nursing mother more than any other woman in the world needs rich blood and plenty of it There is one way to get this good blood so necessary to perfect health, and that is through the use ot Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills.

All the hair combings in a Chinese honsebold are saved as carefully as if they were nuggets. in course of time they are spun into long threads and woven into stock- ings. The popular belief is that stock- ings of human hair keep out the wet better than any others. At one time the Japanese made use 'of human hair in church erecting. It. was the custom for e'hurch-going people to give some of their bair as a free-will offering when a temple was ,tieing built. Such a structure at Tokio' lead the :beams and rafters held in place by `one of these human hair cables. {Placed end on end, this human hair rope measured 4,52Sft. long, was fin.. in diameter, and weighed 8,8471b., no ffewer than 350,000 persons contribut- ling before a sufficient quantity was 'obtained. Mixing Lime Lime With Com- mercial Fertilizer. Lime added to commercial fertil- 1 zers, before reaching the soil, may have one or :all of several bad effects: 1(a) The usual practice in the past ,has 'been to advise against mixing of lime directly with nitrogenous fertil- izer materials, _such as ammonium sulphate, bone, tankage, dried blood, land similar materials, for the reason 'that ammonia nitrogen would be re- leased .and wasted; (b) The formation 'af a hard, lumpy physical condition in goods containing sodium nitrate or !calciumnitrate is likely, to take place. These objections are not so serious 'as they -would appear. At any rate, !there .can be no -danger when lime and fertilizers are added to the soil 'separately, especially if a few days elapse' between the liming and fertil $nation. Feathered Frauds. Apart from the natural camouflage which speckled feathers and patches of color, like dazzle painting ca ships, afford birds for their protection, there is no doubt that birds have little tricks which, conseiously or instinctively, they employ to frighten, away intrud- ers. Can anyone doubt that the long neck of goose and swan, and the hiss Ing sound they both make, is a good incitation of the snake in the grass? OP course, it is necessary to think of these birds in their wild state, nest- ing among the reeds. A marauding foe, fox, or wolf, or plaeanartin, hap- pens along, intent on eggs for break- fast at least, or, better still, a tender gosling or cygnet. Suddenly,out Starts the snake -like neck hissing like a whole basketful of serpents, and the Intruder turns tail and flees from the poisonous spot. The wryneck builds its nest in the hollow of a tree, and if auy prying per- son should thrust a hand into his hole he hears a most menacing hissing, and he withdraws the hand smartly, lest the adder should bite him. Even the blue titmouse, an inoffensive little bird enough, will imitate a snake, producing a most alarming hiss if her nest is approached by cat or human, The well-known dodge of the lap- wing to lure the egg -gatherer from her eggs is another case of cute trickery. The lapwing, or plover, snakes her nest on the ground, and when she sees a stranger approaching she . flies,jurat in front of him, constantly seeming to fail, as if her wingwere injured or broken. Naturally, boy or man will make some attempt to catch her, and that is exactly what_she wants! Tigers Are Poor Sailors. It is really pathetic to see a tiger on board ship.. He whines, his eyes water, and he constantly paws his stomach, in which he has such a nasty feeling. Horses suffer very badly from mai de mer, as also do oxeu, but oxen make heroic attempts not to give way to their feelings. Most wild animals hate the sea, and howl' miserably until seasickness quietens them. Polar bears, however,. as one would naturally expect, are quite at home at sea and always enjoy a trip. Elephants get seasick, but they can t be cured, although the prescription would cost a lot of money to make up nowadays.

Mansions of Mud. In order to solve the housing prob- lem, z. , a builder at Los Angeles is put- ting intting up two hundred attractive mud houses, " He is copying the idea frontthe an- cients and South American natives, who used to build their 1l ,uses of wet soil, mixed with straw, cast in moulds of required size, and left in the sun to dry. Generally speaking, any earth with a clay base, that makes it cohesive when watered, Can be usedfor the pure pose. The straw in the mud serves a purpose similar to that of steel rein - forcemeat in concrete. The mud mansions built scores of years ago by the Mexicans are to -day in splendid condition, although some- what damp and .insanitary, These faults, however, are being remedied. For instance, whereas the old Dons were satisfied to plaster their walla' with mud, and protect this with a coat- ing of whitewash in which had been incorporated tallow and cactus juice while the lime slaked, the present-day builder prefers to cover them with hard cement plaster thoroughly to anchor into the walls -generally three coat, -- and waterproof throughout with an all -mineral compound evolved by himself and conceded by Chemists to be virtually everlasting, The builder makes .these claims for the houses now under construction: That they are everlasting, meaning that the occupants will never know the annoyance or expense of the usual repair- bills. That they are sound- proof, p so that howling winds, rattling roofs, or other noises will not be heard within. That they are non-conductive and fire -proof, cool in summer and warm in winter.

Present prices of wheat will make it worth while to use fertilizer, even if it produces only a moderate increase in yield. This was discussed at considerable length at a recent gathering of grain growers in Chicago, and the general, feeling was as given do the above par- agraph. One man do attendance was particularly insistent in setting forth the economic value of this plan. Herealized that the price of fer- tilizer was considerably higher than in 1914, he said, but referred to a recent Government report which shows that an acre of .farm crops could buy more fertilizer- Iast year than it did in the years immediately preceding the war. As a land owner himself, he said he believed the land- lord could well afford to insist that. his tenant buy fertilizer, sharing half the cost with him. To substantiate his statement, he quoted figures based on the yesults Gf actual farm operations, showing that on a 160 acre farm --,being farmed on the shares, two-thirds to the renter and ape -gird to the owner--- e 'could) pay half' the cost of tjre fertilizer and still 3'ecejve ;.17Q nl re nor has Tental than he "Weald 1f lig ertillzer had been used; and .the •tenant would be better' off by $410.

From this it would appear that in England there is room and need for six homes for blind babies and only one in existence, But here, 'in this favored. Canada, nothing has hereto. fore been done In this direction, ex- cept a movement ` commenced last year by the late Mr. T. Hope Church- ill, of Toronto, who atter collecting between one and two thousanddollars, specially deposited iu a local bank to the credit of the fund, asked me to aid hint in raising a sufficient sum to pus: chase premises for the proposed home. Having warm sympathy with i'ir. Churchill's praiseworthy enter- prise, I promised to give him the necessary assistance, but circum- stances prevented me undertaking the work until the present time, and mean- while death suddenly removed IMir. Churchill. Now, in order that the money collected may be utilized for the purpose for which it was sub- scribed, a Charter (without stock sub. scription) is being secured so that the incorporated company can legally and properly lay claim to the money in the bank, and proceed to carry out the ob- jects for which the Charter is sought, viz.; "To provide a retuge for baby and infant blind, to provide free scientific Gare, training and maintenance, to save the lives of even a few of the many of such unfortunates who, for lack of suck service, perish every year; and to return these little ones to their parents, at school age, with normal healthy bodies and sound minds." Such, In brief, is the task before the promoters, Money is urgently re- quired to carry it to successful com- pletion. Canadians have never been known to turn their backs on any de- serving cause, claiming their aid, and surely this appeal will meet with a generous response. Help now, with- out waiting to be called upon by a collector, so that the close of the year may see "The Blind Babies' Home, Nursery and Kindergarten" in success- ful operation in the Capital City of Canada, Cheques may be made pay- able to "Canadian Blind Babies' Home."

The favorite theory is that they denote the age of tbe fish --a ring to a year, like the rings that show the age of a tree. Iohthyologists in many Euro- pean Countries have made a careful study of the !natter and have deemed it of enough importance to make it the subject of a report published as a British bluebook. They hold that the scales do tell with near approach to accuracy: the age of salmon and her- ring; as to other fish they are in doubt. The Norwegians maintain that the rings bear relation merely to the length of the fish." It bas been found that the food of the fish and the tem- perature of the water that they inhabit have an influence an the scale rings.

Saints have halos because a country boy ,made a curious mistake some bun- dreds of years ago when he first be- gan to paint holy pictures. In order to keep the rale from discoloring the statues of saints that stood just under the eaves of churehes, the church authorities used to place wooden disks over them. Giotto, when a boy, as- sumed that the disks were au essen- tial part of tbe sacred figures. At prat he painted above the bead of each: saint a disk that looked like the bot- tom of a tub: later he made it a mere circle, dark at first, but more and more luminous in successive pictures until it became the circle of light that paint- ers ever since have used as the sym- bol of sanctification. i Minard's Liniment For Dandruff.
