[London Tit -Bits.] There are two little to combat, And their names Hurry. They pa:' the deuce with our nerves atd ad that, tat still we Seep up with our flurry. We burls through breakfast, then off a shoe, We werry through work till the end of tea= thy, We burr:5.. through dinner, after which i'ee/e ae not. We berry again be off to a play. We hurry the baby as fast as we can, Kindergarten and high school and eeneg,e, 'eon bet. Are razed through in our hurry to make bim a man. Till his brain is a jumble, his nerves al) upset. Then we wonder why half the world's iriefficient. As we rampage cnong in our flurry. am sure this very good reason's suf- fleient: It is due to our Worry and Hurry. Do you think after all, it is worth what we pay In nervous prostration and number- less ills? Why can't we take time to live day by day, For truly and surely it's Hurry that kills.

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. Beingantiseptic, it prevents blood poisoning. THE OLD FAMILIAR FACES. [Charles Lamb.] I have had playmates, I have had com- panions, In my days of childhood, in my joyful days, All, all are gone, the old familiar faces. I have been laughing, I have been ca- rousing. Drinking late, sitting late, with my bosom cronies, All, all are gone, the oldfamiliar faces. I loved a love once, fairest among women; Closed are her doors on me, I must not see her - All, all are gone, the old familiar faces. I have a friend, a kinder friend has no man; Like an ingrate I left my friend abrupt- - Leftly: him, to muse on the old familiar faces. Ghost-like I paced round the haunts of my childhood; Ear.h seem'd a desert I was bound to traverse, Seeking to find the old familiar faces. Friend of my bosom, thou more than a brother, Why were not thou born in my father's dwelling. So might we talk of the old familiar faces: - How some they have died, and some they have left me, And some are taken from me; all are departed; All. all are gone, the old familiar faces.

Is there anybody nowadays, says the New York:Post, who remempers the time when thefact that women's brains weighed less than men's was gravely put forward by rereons of good intell- octet .1 standing -scientists and others - as conclusive proof of the inferiority of the intellectual pcnvers of women? That notion, we believe, was not fully aband- oned until it was found that, though the absolute weight of women's brains was less than that of men, the relative weight -the weight in comparison with that of the body -was actually greater for women than for men; a consider- ation which, on the whole, seemed to point rather to the opposite conclusion from that desired. How utterly puer- ile was the attempt to draw any con- clusion from the data in either way it required no scientific investigaion to show; for apart from any other con- sideration, the quantity of that part of the brain which, so to say, does the thinking, is so small a portion of the whole that the attempt to determine its quantity -to say nothing of its quality -by weighing the whole brain was very much like trying to find out how many needles here are in a haystack by weighing the haystack. This is not saying, of course, that the weight of the basin has nothing to do with the question of mental power. But here comes Dr. Mellus, of the Johns Hop- kins University, and tells us that. so far as his observations show, not only the weight, but even the intricacy of the convolutions, of the brain furnishes no index of mental power His state- ment, as given in a press report of his paper at the meeting of the American Physiologcal Society is that in his ex- amination of great numbers of brains he has found no evidence whatever that intricate convolutions are a sign of brain Power or efficiency. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA Nightmare, A nightmare is, says Youth's Comn- anion a very vivid and disagreeable dream, in which the sleeper finds him, self in various terrifying situations from which there is no escape. When the sufferer's fright reaches a climax, he is aroused by his own efforts to scream for help, A bad form of night- mare occurs in young ehildren; it is call- ed "night terror." The child awakes suddenly from a deep sleep, panting, wide-eyed screaming but articulate, and lings frantically to anyone who goes to the bedside. Such attacks are most common in children between four and eight years old, but they may occur at any age. When grown-up people have night- mare it is generally owing to ifidis- cretions in diet, such as mince pie or lobster eaten late at night. Many per- sons have to be very careful about what they eat for supper, and can never safely go to sleep lying fiat on the back. One characteristic of nightmare is the startling reality of it. It lacks the misty vagueness of pleasant dreams and has, while it lasts, all the sharp outline of an actual oceurreuce, There- fore it is important that young children should be wisely and gently handled when they suffer from night terrors. • Do not scold them, or laugh at them, or argue with them They have suffered real shock with a consequent loss of nervous force. *Until the paroxysm has spent iteelf de not leave a child *holies suffered in this way alone. Sometimes, in older chidren, night- mare accompanies overpressure at school, and the tendeney to it disappears in the holidays. In +such cases, lighten the pressure of work as much possible make the evening meal light and dig- stibIe. and keep the child from ex- itement dating the few home before 13.016111e WINGIIAllf TIMES, A New Wheat.

Sir William Osler, of Oxford, the great Canadian physician, in speaking of the medical ignorance of many writers of fiction, once said: "I remember one of the boys at Me - Gill passing around a leaf torn from a leading novel by an English author- ess of repute, which described how, after a serious accident, the hero as- certained that the heroine was alive by feeling of the femoral artery." Figures of the Influx. The Dominion Immigration De- partment issued a statement recent- ly, nearing the close of the immigra- tion season, to which importance Is attached by comparison. Condensed, it says: The total immigration to Canada during the first five months, April to August, of the current fiscal year was 282,757, made up of 112,- 081 British, 63,721 Americans and 106,955 from all other countries. During the five corresponding months of last fiscal year the total number was 242,509, composed of 95,142 British, 79,209 Americans and 68,158 fro t I all other countries. The increase is 17 per cent. Linemen's Sports. Strange and interesting athletic competitions were held at an electri- cal workers' picnic at London, Ont., recently. The principal event was a pole rig- ging contest. The victors won in 41 minutes and 42 seconds. It was a unique contest and held the attention of several hundred spectators from start to finish. Another team of workers who wear climbing spurs finished first in the race for the removal of the cross - arms of the poles and a lineman got first prize for throwing the line over the wire at the height of 48 feet. ' Social Lalls In China. It is difficult for a Chinaman to u ter the English pronunciation, and this accounts in great measure for the prey'. alence of pidgin English. The letter r is almost always sounded like I, so we have ki-lin or kleeu for green and lain for rain. "Too =thee lain just now" is often heard, "just now" being a favorite expression to denote the tm. mediate present. In calling upon a lady one says to the boy (house serv. ant of any age from sixteen to sixty), "Misses have got?" and the answer comes, "Have got" or "No have got," according to whether she is in or out, This recalls the time honored, true story of the lady who called and the boy reported to his ;mistress of the house, "One pleeee man down side, Meng missus."
