THE GIRLS 01' SPAIN.
A taste for the bast reading is not
cultivated in Spanish girls, even
where the treasures of that great
C.stilian literature are accessible to
them. Convent education knows no-
thing of Calderon.
Love ens" religion are the only sub-
jects with which a senorita is ex-
pected to concern herself. Happiness
is thus made to hang on a chance.
Even when a Spanish girl wins her
crown of wifehood and motherhood,
her ignorance and poverty of thought
tell heavily against the most essen-
tial interests of family- life.
The Spanish girl is every whit as
fascinating as her musical, cloaked
gallant confides to her iron -grated
lattice. Indeed, these amorous ser- t
entitles hardly do her justice, blending
as she does French animation with
Italian fervor. In Andalusia, she b
dances with a grace that makes ev-
ery other use of life seem vain. And
whoa she bargains! There is nothing s
sordid about it. Her haggling is a
social eandeacension that at once puts
the bleats -eyed young salesman at a
her mercy.

kon our storm -tossed souls into the

me my pillow, take away all soothing
draughts, take away the faces of fam-

helping hand and every iconsoling
voice ; alone let me die on the moun-
ain, an a bed of rock, co-vered only

It seems clear that many of the
Boers came prepared to give no quar-
ter, and they expected none. When
they took to flight and the pursuing
cavalry were among them, several of
them oried out: "The English don't
kill their prisoners 1" and not a few,
"Pni Etrglis'n; don't, kill." Most
Dutch speaking South Africans know;
more or less English, and many of
those who thus appealed for mercy
were spared. Taik with the prisonere
and the wounded shows that this un -
strained quality of mercy had its efe
feet. Strange as it may, seem, the two
races learned to respect each other
on this bloody field.. The Briton
learned that the 13,oer was not a cow-
aad, and the Boer that the Briton could
fight and win, and yet be magnanim-
ous. May the lessons not be lost 1 Be-
neath the British flag the two peoples
must live together and it will be some
redemption for desecrating these
lovely scenes with slaughter if the
struggle engenders .oautual respect. I
have passed through the same region ,
when in the full glory of summer. If
two words could describe it, then they
would be "beatity and serenity." To
stain these fair fields with human
blood is next to impious; but, as Lieue
enant Webb says, the position had to
be evon-for British abprem'acy, by Brie
ish valor.

By plain everyday peepie who believein

been actually cured by ug them.
The persons who wrote the follo-

might profit by their experience. If
you want further partieulars regard-

A test of any of Dr. Chase's Remedies
will eanvince you of their merit.
ITCHING BODY 80RE13.
Mr. Chas. K. Mos, Berlin, Ont.,
writes ;-"Bly child, six months old,
was a terrible aufferer from itching
scree on her body. The doctor called
it salt rheum, but could not cure it.
We tried many remedies recommended
but they had no effect. Having read
of Do Chase's Ointment, I decided to
try it, and am ha.ppy to say that she
was completely oared before the first
box was all used."
CONSTIPATION.
Mra. W. H. Fisher, Preston, Ont..
states :-"I an recoinno.end Dr.
Chaae's Kidney -Liver Pills for Consti-
pation. I was troubled for about nine
years, and have spent hundreds of dol-
lars with doeitora and for re/mettles I
heard et, but they failed to even give
1
41
relief. Hearing of Dr. Chase's Kidney..
Liver Pills, I prociured a box, and
they have oured me of this long-
standing complaint. I don't' have to
use them any more at all, which goer;
to show that the cure is complete and
permanent."
WAKNSS.
Mr. W. H. La Blame, Bonfield, Ont.,
writes ;-"I was once a sufferer from
'cetera, and while using Dr. Chase's
Catarrh Cure I was reaomnaended to
use also Dr. Chas's Nerve Food to
build up the system. I have found. it
the bast preparation for strengthen
ing the body that I ever used. My
nerves were exhauted, and I was too
weak to do a day's work when I be-
gan using it, and now am strong and
healthy, 8.nd feel real well. I am per-
fectly sure that anyone who uses
Dr. Chase's Nerve Food will believe as
I do, that it Is the best strengthener
and restorative obtainable."
Imitators of Dr. Chase's Reraediee
do not dare to reproduce his portrait
and signature, whiela are to be found
an every box of his genuine remedies.

SWEPT OFF BY A IITJRRICANE.
A remarkable effect of the great
hurricane of 1898 in the West India
Islands was the complete disappear-
ance from the island of St. Vincent
of a species of hummingbird, which,
previous to the storm, had been one
of the commo.nest and tamest birds
that inhabited the island. Other spe-
ces of humming -birds, of a larger
size, survived the tempest, and are yet
to be seen in St. Vincent, but the lit-
tle bronze -green birds with erected
crests, which formerly attracted much
admiration, are all gone.
