To do so is to ask the almost impossible. But, at the same•time, it is the duty of every woinan to save hier strength to meet any unusual de- mands. It is a duty she owesslierself and family, for her fut-aie health may depend upon it, To: guard against a complete break- down in health the blood must be kept rich, red and pure. No other medicine does this so well as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. This medicine strengthens the nerves, restores .the appetite and keeps every organ healthily toned up. Women cannot always rest when they should, but they can keep their strength by the occasional use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, Among those who have found benefit from • this Medicine is IVIrs.

A band of rippl ,s ex- pands from the centre of disturbance and sets dietant small Rooting, objects bobbing up and down. Punch the water witha stick tor alternate long and short periods, pausing between them, and we note that the floating ob- jects bob up and down for correspond- ing'Periods, as the band of ripples due to each Period ot agitation passes them. Make the long and short peri- ods of agitation correspond with the symbols of the Morse code, itrid we have a crude method of communica, Hon which hasi, perhaps, a better right than the radio srystem to be called "wireless." The stick which disturbed the water represents a transmitting station, while the floating objects are receiving stations, registering the pas - age of of the ripples by their' vibrations up and down. Notice that the ripples die away as they. advanoe. Small ob- jects at some distance from the centre of disturbance aro scarcely affected at all. We shall find it the same in radio. The farther removed o.ur re- ceiver is from the transmitter, the more difficult, it becomes to detect th.e Wireless waves. Let us now, before we leave the pondncli+op a big rock in where we pre- viously had the stick, anil watch the effect upon the floating things. Many of those Which were nearest the rock as it struck the water are quite swamp- ed this time. The ripples are much larger and those obstinate pieces of flotsam and jetsam which refused to be strongly affected before will pre,. sently, be bobbing up and down quite merrily.

John Chinaman is a funny fel- 'low when he is at h.orne•tn his native 'land. He builds the roof of his house first- and ...the- walls afterwards. •He pays the doctor when in good health and, stops -paying him when sickness comes. We used to hear about this and think it strange, and we just laughed at the Chines.e and said "What an idea!" and gave the matter no fur- ther thought. But times have changed. We in 'this country are 'beginning to find out that the Chinese were a highly civi- lized people in the days when Anglo- Saxons were cave -mem Many of the Chinese customs, moreover have stood the test of time, and this practice of paying the doctor when one is Well, is now regarded in western countries as a very practical and sensible thing lo do.

Dil you ever see a railway employee strike the wheels of a train as it stops ,.......,••••••••••••••••24^114. in the station? Do you kncw why he does that? It is to see if there are any cracks or flaws in the wheels! that might cause a breakdown on the journey. The sound of the Wheel when struck indicates whether or not the wheel is all`right and in good re- pair. Is it not -far better to do this than to wait till the crash collies, and then say it was' an unnoticed crack in the wheel that caused the accident. Why should the same reasoning not apply to our (health, our physical con- dition? , Would it not be much better if so called well -people could be peri- odically examined instead of sick,' who have already broken down like the train wheel! 'True the human wheel like the railway wheel has to be re- p.airect—the doctor is nee-cled to effect a cure, but if the necessary repairs had Veeii done before and not after sickness came, or had physical defects been corrected in childhood, much suf- fering and ill -health could be avoided. • The clay will come when the well person will take his annual or semi- annual health examination as naturally as he balances this bank book.

It is impossible to stale, even ap- Proximately, what,range will be attain- ed by a transmitting station of a given power or over what radius a certain receiving set will receive, Quite re- cently a one -and -a -half kilowatt wire- less telephone transmitter at High River, Alberta, was heard very clearly at a point near Honolulu. The dis- tance covered in this case was alocut ysiro thonsand eight hundred miles, al- though the transmitter was only ex- pected to work over about five hun- dred miles! A- receiving set Suitable for the reception of local broadcasting programmes may be purchased for twenty or thirty dollars. Besides local radiophone broadcasts, it will receive telegraphic signals from powerful sta- tions over distances of, perhaps, a thousand mibes. Occasionally, it may receive radiophone broadcasts through one or two hundred miles of space, but this cannot., be relied upon, nor will the reputable manufacturer guar- antee it. Radiophone broacl•casts being sent out four or five hundred miles away caii usdally only be heard with rnore elaborate and expensive equip- ment.

Thie composer of that popular song Kathleen filavourneen (F. N. Crouch), gives the following interesting acsount of he origin of this, song. "The words instantly attracted my attention by their purity' of style and diction. I sought the authoress a.nd obtained her permission to set them to music. Leaving Loudon as traveller to Chap- man & Co., Cornhill (metal brokers), while prosecuting my journey towasds Saltash. I jotted down the melody on the historic banks of .the Tamar. nOn arriving at Plymouth I wrote out a fair copy of the song and sang, it to Mrs. Rowe, the wife,of the music pub- lisher of that town. The melody so captivated her' and others who heard it that I was earnestly solicited that It should be given the first time • in public at her husband's opening con- cert of the 'season. But certain rea- sons obliged me to decline that honor. I retired to rest at my hotel, but ris- ing early next morning and opening my window, what was my surprise to see on a boarding right opposite a large placard on which was printed In the lar.gest and.boldest type: "P. Nicholls Crouch from London will sing at P. E. Rowe's concert 'Kathleen Ma- yourneen' for one night." Crouch at first irefused to sing, but overcome by the entreaties of the fas- cinating Mrs, Rowe, he finally did so, Crouch, wino was a friend of Rossini and one-time mitsical director at Drury Lane Theatre, had rather «a hard life. In 1849 he came to Ameri- ca, living in poverty in Baltimore, Finally, however, he Won some mea- sure of success, and as late as 1892 he was tendered o banquet at Port- land, Maine, at whichhe sang "Kath- leen" Mavourneen," being then In his 84th year.

"Now I am going to give you an un- solicited testimonial as they say in the patent medicine advertising. Heretofore I have had a profound contempt for patent medicines, particularly so-called liniments. Pert:raps this is clue to the reason that I have been blessed with a sturdy constitution, ;and have never been ill a day in my life. One day last fall after a hard day's tramp in the slush of Montreal, I developed a severe pain in my legs and of course Lice a man who has never had anything wrong with him physically, I complained rather boisterously. The good little wife says: "I will rub them withsome liniment I have." "Go ahead," I said, just to humor her. "Well,' in she comes with a bottle of Alinard'a Liniment and gets busy.
