Most people have heard the story of how Bell took his investion to the heads of the Western Union Telegraph com- pany. He went to them first, believing that they would above all others, grasp the true import of what seemed to him a revolutionary idea. But they didn't. They missed it by the width of this continent which the telephone now covers. It was interesting, they told him—quite a clever idea. But it was a toy --a Scientific toy. They advised. him to go to some novelty concern. They, themselves, were engaged in a very serious business, namely the send- ing of messages by electric wires. Then came the phonograph. Two men who backed the invention went to the Regina music box company, expecting to fend there sympathetic imaginations. But the music box company disapprov- ed severely of the idea—that is, in a musical way. It was interesting enough fn itself, quite clever in fact. But the squeaky instrument was only a toy --a scientific toy. Some novelty mantifactutes might be interested. As for themselves they Were engaged in the artistiereproduetion of music.

"1 have been restored to health by taking `Fruit-a-tives'. For two years, I was a miserable sufferer from Rhes., matisrmand ,Stomach Trouble. I became very weak, had frequent dizzy spells and when I took food, felt wretched and sleepy. I suffered from Rheuma. tism dreadfully, with pains in my back and joints and any hands swollen. A friend advised me to try 'Fruit -a. tives' and from the outset, they did me good. After I had started the second box, I felt I was getting well and I persevered in. the treatment. I can truthfully say that 'Fruit-a-tives' is the only medicine that helped. me. LOUIS LABRIE. "FRUIT-A-TIVES" is the famous medicine made from fruit juices. 50o. a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size, 25c.

Skin Soft as a grind's "I was a great sufferer from eczema and salt rheum for years," writes Mr. John W, Naas, Lunegburg, N. S, "Five years ago three boxes of Dr, Chase's Ointment cured me and the old POSTOFFICE POINT. bore la tooWWI Station Located ea. This Arotio ice Peck. Almost due north of Bering strait is a point in the solid north pack that always extends much farther south, dater the pail; at the eastward or at h;.e westward. This point is naturally v:u'%able, according. to the heat of the -.meaner and. the severity of the prey!• 00e winter, but it does not wove more i`lihn a few degrees. For fifty or sev- chit,' -flue years this iioint of lee bas hem; spokea of by the areae whale - men as '•Posteflice point." This does not wean that there is postottice there, hut the signiAcance ,rr the name is because the whaling tincts usually arc divided, some ships going considerably cost of Postofiice point and others west of it. Sbips that have been east of it cruise along the edge or the pack and very fre- quently meet ships that have been to the west of it, and the meeting point fforsome reason bas always been in the neighborhood of Postotfce point, It was hero therefore that the sblps used to meet, atter being separated for many weeks, and exchange nese• and gossip. The solid north pack comes pretty close to Point Barrow and extends fa. an irregular line from Point Barrow to Postoffice point. Much of this Ice "looks as though it has been there from the year 1," as one of the weal. ing captains has expressed it. Bear- ing In mind the fact that Postoffice point is always to be found in ap- proximately the same latitude and longitude, it seems as though there must of necessity be land back of it. although of course there is a, poss!- bility that there may be a very solid pack of 'ice instead of land, held in place by comparatively shallow water. THE UBIQUITOUS TURKEY. He Has Spread All Over the World Despite His Retiring Ways. In every corner of the globe almost, at least where civilization has spread its epicurean taste, may be found the domesticated turkey—not, however, of bis own volition. Never would he, in his wild state, have sought to cross the stormy seas to find green fields and pastures new. He is not so constructed. He is not bold or adventurous of disposition. On the contrary, he is timid and much afraid of things he does not under- stand and when undisturbed is prone to let well enough alone and get along with his accustomed feeding grounds. Again, , a !ller the turkey is not a pronounced success. He files ponder- ously, almost painfully and with great effort and only when very much fright- ened. His night can be sustained for only a short distance, but what the wild turkey lacks as an aviator he fully makes up as a sprinter. Ile can outrun a .race horse, especial- ly in his own native forest, where undergrowth and bushes seem but to acid to his speed. But he could not have flown over the ocean even if he bad bad that unnatural desire. He was taken over by the band of man, first to Spain, then to other Mediterranean countries, to northern Europe, to the far east. until now he is well nigh omnipresent. And this spreading out of his kind even unto the ends of the earth is all due to the entrancing qualities bis meat takes on when properly haired or roasted. Puzzled Him. Uncle Ben, a very careful old darky, was a witness in a shooting ease, "Were the shots simultaneous, uncle?" inquired the prosecuting attorney. "Well. boss, you see. hit wuz dis way," replied the witness. with great deliberation, "Dem shots come so close togodder dat I can't be sho' of dey wuz or not." - Court Order. "Mrs. Golightly seems burdened with cares since she got her decree of di- vorce." "Yes; she has to see her children twice a week now" A Telltale Touch. "Is it true that sightless people earl tell the color of things by touch?" some one asked a blind man. "Occasionally, yes," came the an- swer, "If. for instance, I touched a redhot poker I could tell it was red." Cis Face Was Covered With Pimples. Pimples are not a serious trouble, but they are very unsightly. Pimples are caused wholly by bad blood, and to get rid of them it is neces- sary to purify the blood of all its im- purities. Burdock Blood 13itters has made many remarkable cures; the pimples have all disappeared, and a bright, clean, com- plexion left behind, Mr. Lennox D. Cooke, Indian Path, N.S., writes: "I am writing you a few lines to tell you what Burdock Blood Bitters has done for me. Last winter my face was covered with pimples. 1 tried different kinds of medicine, and all seemed to fail.

Weeds should be killed just as the se. seeds are germinating„ or while they ace yet very small. When this la done bat a cry little moisture is lost through. them, and they render but little plant food insoluble. In the thorough and early preparation of the seed bed many weeds are destroyed by killing' them just as they are conning up. It is the same in the ease of a grain field, which is rolled after being seeded, and is then harrowed; the rolling bast• ens the germination of the weed seeds and the harrowing then throws them out into a dry soil, which kills them. If such a field is again harrowed just after the grain is up a second crop of weeds may be destroyed and the crop made greater as a cunsequeneu. In the case of potatoes and corn it is an easy thing todestroy at least two crops of weeds before the corn or potatoes are large enough to cultivate, by harrowing before and just after the plants are up. This is very important, because it not only saves plant food for the crop, but it can be done so much more cheaply and rapidly with the broad light har- rows and weeders than it can later with a cultivator.
