In this way he flew all over the coun-

The sun had just begun to show the
top of his bright. round face above the
horizon when King Eagle called the
meting to order.
"1 called this meeting to -day for the
purpose of having a debate between my

Saying this, King Eagle perched him-
self on a limb overlooking the meeting.
"1 nominate for chairman of this
meeting, Mr. Robin, because ho is wise
and has good judgment," said the Crow.
"1 second the nomination," said the
Kingfisher.
"All in favor of this nomination please

"I think 1 shall select, The Boy: is He

The subject is open for discussion."
"I can tell you of an experience
which I had with • boy last summer,"
said the Itedblid. "One nice, sunshiny

a boy.
"Ile climbed right up to cur nest and
--it is disgraceful—stole all of our eggs.

"1 disagree with you," said the Blue-
bird. "Once our nest fell out of the tree
and n boy climbed up and fixed it back

After these, many other speeches were

On the next day a gloom hung over

messenger.
"Listen." said the Robin. "and Inenr

Dr. Williams' Pin Pills Cured a Se-
vere Case of Anuria and Weakness.
Anu'mia-poor watery blood—is the
cause of most of the misery which af-
flicts mankind. The housewife especi-
ally falls an easy prey to it. The long
hours and close oonlinement necessary
in performing her household duties sap
1 4'r strength. She becomes run down
and often suffers extreme misery. 1/r.
Williams Pink Pills aro the housewife's
friend. They make r.ew blood --lots :f
It—and pure blood banishes all M.o-
men's ailments. Mrs. E. St. Germain,
wife of a well known farmer of St.
John des Chaillons, Que., found new
strength through Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. She says:—"A year ago 1 was ex-
tremely weak. 1 could not attend to
my work. 1 suffered from, dizzy spells;
nny head ached; my blood was poor; 1
had u bad cough and the doctors fenced
was going Otto consumption. 1 fol -
1e -wed their treatment for some time but
without relief. ! grew discouraged and
finally gave it up In despair. I wee
strongly advised to try Dr. Williams'
Pink !'Ills, so procured six boxes. Be-
fore they were all gone 1 felt relief. The
headaches nod dizziness became less
frequent and 1 felt a little stronger. I
continued the pills for a couple of
months at the end of which time 1

left ale, my appetite was gold and 1
telt as shying and well as ever I did.
1 cannot say too much In favor of Ih'.
Williams' Pink ('ills for I certainly owe
my good health to them."
The woman in the house, the man in
the office, the boy or girl in the school
will ulways find a friend in Dr. Wil -

LIQUOR LAWS IN NORWAY.
Private Profit Eliminated—Consumption
of Alcohol Decreased.
New Norwegian liquor laws are suc-
cessful. The Sondag system gives power
to municipalities to grant all the retail
spirit licenses which they deem neces-
sary to a company wwhiels would bind
itself to carry on the tranie in the inter-
ests of the community, with a fixed an-
nual return of not more than 5 per cent.
on its paid urn capital.
in establishing the system the question
of compensation does not appear to have
presented much difficulty. The allot-
ments of the profits are as follows : To
till Stale, 65 per cent.; to tete Municipal-
ity in lieu of larger license duties, now
abolished, 15 per conte., and to objects
of public utility operating as counter at-
tractions to the public houses in towns,
10 per cent. and in the surrounding dis-
trict, 10 per cent.
The profits of the trade under these
restrictions have contributed $7,000,000
for objects of public interest since the
founding of the system. Dunng the last
eight years lite proportion accruing to
the Slate has been increased and •set
apart till 1910 to form the nucleus of an
old -age pension fund, which now
amounts to $2,300,000. The most re-
markable fact in the history of Nnrway
sobriety is that the consumption of alco-
hol per inhabitant has decreased about
45 per cent. in the last fifty years. The
decrease has been most marked since the
establishment of the Sondag system.
The aims and principles of the Sondag
system are these: The elimination of
private profit and securing the monopoly
value for the public; insuring highest
quality of liquors sold; the reduction of
the number of licenses; the easy en-
forcement of the law ; the destruction of
ths. power of the spirit trade, and the
furtherance of all progressive measures
of reform.

HIGH JUMPING SHAIIkq.
Double o1 a Sailor Who Says lir Knows
Something Afoul the Biu Fish.
You published In your paper recently
a very curious story about u shark
jumping fifty feet high in the air, writes
1 correspondent of the South China
Post.
The writer 4'r author of this story, a
.•&plain of n British sailing tessel, hound
Sir London, says that he tired a rifle shot
at a shark and badly wounded it. The
;hark in question jumped so high out of
the sealer that he cleared the Mainsail
with the ease of a seagull.
Now, dear sir, this is rather a trifle
strong. The captain slates that they
threw some meat overboard to get the
sharks closer to the ship. At the mo-
ment that the shark made a grab for the
meat the captain tired his 511ot, wli,rh
slot 111)014' the shark jump fifty feel out
of the water.
we that have been at scut all (:now
Met there is one kind of shall; which has
to lay on its side before it can grab
anything between its jaws, and another
kind which has to lay on its back to do
so, The construction of their mouths
compels them to lake these altitudes. .As
a consequence, the shark in question
was either lying on his back or on Itis
side.
A fish jumping out of lite water makes
the following movement : The lish
stretches his buck and bends' himself in
the form of a crescent by bringing his
head and toil closer together. At the
moment he wants to jump he straightens
his buck again and hits the water with
the tail cud of his body. This force pro-
duce* the power w hien, enables lura to
jump a certain height.
As above Mated, the shark. when fired
al, was grabbing for the meal, nod lying
either on his side or back. In this post -

1 will not deny that a shark is nblc to
jump. I have seen sharks jumping five
feet and six feet high, but that only
when they were hunting soave s•ictiril.

know also how sharks "taste," having

i heard once of an old sailor telling
an acquaintance of a shark which, when
caught and cut open, had another shark
inside; this shark cut open, produced
another shark ; and the last shark had
in his stomach a canvas bag with
twenty-five sovereigns.
I think that both stories are about of
the'saune value concerning truthfulness.
