quently had palpitation of the heart.
Since that illness I have had dizzy
spells, had no power over my limbs
(locomotor ataxia) and could not
walk straight. At night I would have
severe nervous spells, with heart pal-
pitation, and would shake as though
I had the ague. I nit improvement

of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food."

MODERN WIRE ROPE.
Mathematical Precision Rules Every
Process In Its Making.
Although wire rope has been used as
a mechanical appliance for almost 5,000
years, it is commonly regarded as a
modern invention. During the many
years which have elapsed since the
first records of its use wire rope has
passed from a crude to a highly devel-
oped product, and the purposes for
which it is employed have increased a
thousandfold. In no other branch of
the American steel industry is there so
great a demand for material of proved
integrity, for it might be safely sug-
gested that wire rope is born to be
abused. It is subjected to tremendous
tensile strains; it must withstand con-
stant bendings, abrasion, corrosion and
the peculiar internal stress produced by
vibration.
Wire rope as It is made today is the
product of the metallurgist and theme-
ehanic. Every process, from the smelt -
Ing of the ores, the cold drawiug of the
wire and the heat treatments it re-
ceives down to the stranding or laying
up of the cable, is conducted with
mathematical precision.
Tbe chemist sees that only steel of
the proper analysis is used; the eleetrie
pyrometer insures unifoetnity of heat;
treatment in various testing machines
clearly develops the worth of the prod-
uct before it is allowed to leave the
mill. Wire rope is used in the mine
shafts more than a mile in depth, and
may be found on aeroplanes which sail
a mile or more above the, ground. -

The Norwegian Costume.
It Is at church in Norway that the
national costume is best seen. In the
north the women wear short dark
,gowns. with fringed handkerchiefs
tied becomingly over their curly fair
hair, black ones for the matrons and
white ones for maidens. In the south
the old Norwegian dress is often worn.
It consists of a short dark petticoat,
with a stripe of bright colors, a full
white blouse and a red bodice heavily
embroidered, while on Sundays a quan-
tity of silver plus and chains are add-
ed. The headdress varies according to
the occasion and the wearer's .social
condition. The girls wear jaunty red
caps, the married women a coif made
of many folds of starched wbite linen.
plaited over a wooden frame, and a
bride wears a hi&di metal crown curi-
ously chased and set with jewels.
Cataclysmic Geology.
Cataclysmic geology nu longer ex-
ists. It Willi once the accepted opinion
that the great changes in the earth's
surfaee had been mainly brought about
by sudden and violent (cataclysmic)
agencies. but Sit' Charles Lyell, as far
back as 1S3S, demolished the old theory
of •cataclysm at once and forever. Sir
Charles proved by facts which were in-
disputable that the great geological
changes have been produced slowly by
gradual processes of subsidence and
elevation and not by earthquakes, vol-
canic action. etc. Lyell may be said to
be the father or scientific geology.
The Menu.
"Will you have some or the tomatoes
and lettuce with French dressing?"
'chirped the young wife.
"No." returned the husband. musing

"tbe next course is the roast."

Dining Room Furniture.
All the furniture or tile healthful
dining room should be in a dull finish,
and for tbe same reason dull enamel

top serves as a mirror to cast into the
room a bewildering number of reflec-
tions that injure the eyes and irritate
the nerves. For the same reason plate
glass tops are unhygienic. - Good

Signature of
THE CHILD'S VI/ELL-BE:NG
It is generally conceded that if a
mother would occasionally regard her
children with the critical attitude of
an entire stranger many objectionable
habits of which she has hitherto been
unconscious would be forced upon her
attention. She would also realize that
there are fundamental things which
make every 'baby and young child ir-
resistibly attractive. One of these is
cleanliness.
Every baby can and should be made
perfectly clean once aday. By perfect-
ly clean is meant not only the hands
and body generally, but also eyes, nose,
mouth, ears and nails. The child's
health now, as well as in after life,
demands this and the baby should al-
ways start the day clean.
The dirt that he will naturally ac-
quire during the day is easily distin-
guished from that which has been al-
lowed to remain upon him from one
day to another. How often in a street
car one's attention is engaged hy a
child apparently well cared for, with
pretty clothes selected with good taste,
with clean hands and face, who, upon
a closer observation, reveals dirty ears
and finger nails streaked with black.
The old saymg that "dirt is healthy"
is true, but ite depends upon the kind
of dirt. That which disfigures Jack
when he builds a hole under .the back
fence or soils Marjorie's hands when
she is making mud pies. is healthy,
provided it is washed off in due time,
so that the pores of the skin have a
chance to do their proper work.
Every grain of real dirt contains
hundreds of disease germs which
fasten themselves upon a child, and if
allowed to remain for any length of
time are apt to be absorbed through
the delicate skin or drawn into the
lungs. These are the cause of the
terrible death toil paid every year by
ignorant and careless parents.
A Wonder Worker
"It heals like magic," is a favourite
expression When Dr: Chase's Ointment
is used. It works quickly, stops all
itching at once, often heals in a single
night. For eczema, salt rheum, bar-
bers' itch, skin irritations or eruptions,
it is a most satisfactory treatment.
Being antiseptic, it prevents blood
poisoning.
Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Watson, farmers
near Meaford, celebrated their 70th
wedding anniversary last week. Mr
Watson was born in England in 1826
and settled near Kingston, where his
wife was born in 1825, and where they
lived until fift:y years ago, when they
moved to the township St. Vincent, and
where they still reside on the oldamme-
stead with their youngest son. Mr.
Watson walks the seven miles to Mea•
ford, and claims it is good excereme.
Mrs. Watson knits and sews without
glasses, and has done her share of knit-
ting for the soldiers. They have five
living children, thirty-nine grrndchildren
forty-six great-grandchildren, and one
great -great -grand -child.

Form of Divorce In Old Rome.

inarriuge, a cake or wheaten flour was
presented to the husband and wife, but
instead of sharing it between them
they rejected it. Then. instead of pray-
ers, they pronounced formulas of a
strange. Severe. spiteful character, by
which the wife renounced the worship
and gods of the husband, From that
moment the religious bond was broken,
and, the community of worship having
ceased to exist. the marriage without
further ado was forever dissolved.
Puzzled.
A little girl has'a new baby sister,
and she has been somewhat puzzled
as to the exact status of the new ar-
rival in the family. She had willingly
given up her bed, but something still
seemed to trouble her greatly. One
day she was found surveying the din-
ing room just at tnealtime. She look-
ed at her own high chair, then inquir-
ed suspiciously of her father, "Where
is she going to eat, daddie?"
