The stories of 'girl -and -boy mar-
riages are not borne out by statis-
tics. From 1851 to 1870 only about
three males of every hundred enter-
ing wedlock did so under 21 years
of age. The proportion is growing,
however, and in 1897 it showed that
rather over four persons under the
nominal years of discretion were to
be found in every 100 married men.

An An.cient Sporting Event That
Caused a Long War.
A recent traveller in Eastern Ara-
bia has revived a little of the ancient
history of that part of the world,
tracing back for many centuries the
cause of bitter feeling between two
tribes that were at, war for forty
years, their relations being somewhat
strained.
The explorer found that in 562 A.
D. the sheikh of one of the tribes
made a foray on another tribe and
as a ransom for the booty and cap-
tives taken he demanded and received
a fronous horse names Danis. The
extraordinary fleetness of Delis was
the beeest of his 112W (Miler and it
was- not long before a match was
made to race him against a. leezara
mare belonging to another tribe and
ties° noted for her fleetness. The
'wager was for 100 camels and the
length of the course was about ten
As the day fixed for the race ap-
proa:ched the horses were kept with-
out water, the plan tieing that the
horse whicb first plunged its nose
into the water through ten miles
from the starting point, should be
declared the winner. The racers were
to run riderless, and to make them
gallop their best maddening thirst
was to take the peace �f whip and

it is a remarkable fact -one a
Naturtes peetillar compensations --
that people who have suffered from
smallpox generally live longer than
people *ho have not. eNhy this
should be the case, there is only an
unproved theory to explain ; And
the theory is that the microbes
which go to make small -pox, being
very powerful and pugnacious, swal-
low up the microbes of many other
diseases which they find in the sys-
emir of persons they attack. Hence,
by eantrecting smallpox severely,
you staxtd a good chance of elle:lima-
ine. from your system other diseases
which would seize upon you at some
time or other, and, likely enough,
prove fatal.
At the same time, it ,raust• be ad-
mitted that smallpox is not schedul-
ed as a preventive medicine ; and.
the number of persons it either kills,
maims, or inflicts with Mental in-
capacities is probably greater than
the number of persons whose lives
it prolongs.
At the same time it is a fact that
the disease, though one of the rnost
terrible known to medical science,
does yoa a great deal of good if you
are capable of throwieg it off with-

serious character than being pitted

CRYING BABIES.
The Cry of an Infant is Nature's
Signal of Distress.
Babies never cry unless there is
scene very good reason for it. The
cry of a baby is nature's warning
signal that there is something wrong.
Every mother ought in get to work
immediately to find out what that
something wrong may be. If the
freefulness and irritation aro not
caused by exterior sources, it is con-
clusive evidence that the crying baby
is ill. The only safe and judicious
thing to do is to atliniuisLer Baby's
Own Tablets without the slightest
delay.
,For indigestion, sleeplessness, the
irritation accompanying the (meting
of teeth, diarrhoea, constipation,
colic, and simple fevers, these mar-
vellous' little tablets have given re-
lief in theneands of cases and saved
many precious baby lives. Do not
give a child so-called "soothiug"
medicines; such only stupify and pro-
duce unnattiral sleep. Baby's Own
Tablets are guaranteed to contain eio
opiate or other harmful drugs; they
promote sound,' healthy sleep be-
cause they go directly to the root of
baby troubles. Dissolved in water
these tablets can be given to the
eyornigest infant. Mrs. Walter Brown,
Milby, Que., says: -"I have never
used any medicine Sor baby that did

peculiarly common toe oicr people, Baby's Own Tablets are foe sale at
and hundreds who complain of the
distress caused them by such affec-
tions are really indebted to their
conghs for their length of life. The
reason of this is teat most elderly
persons suffer with weak hearts and
feeble circulation of the blood, and
weak hearts become weaker and
weaker merely as a result of their
weakness. A constant , cough cor-
rects this, keeps the heart beating
more strongly than it otherwise
Would, and the strong heart-beat
keeps the blood circulating More
quickly ; and the vital organs are
thus kept ,in a state of activity
which could only be maintained by
artificial means, and for a limited
time, but for •the troublesome cough.
Moreover, the constant remiuders
given by the cough deter the suffer-
ers from.- running risks of catching
colds. In other words, they have
to study their health or sutler more
acutely from their coughs, and,
choosing the former, they benefit ac-
cordingly.
Gout and rheumatism are exceed-
ingly painful diseases, and, of course
in some cases, prove fatal, but- they
confer many a blessing on mankind;
and rheumatism particularly is well
known to doctors as a preventive of
many.othei. diseases: It is a, notor-
ious fact that gouty subjects gen-
erally live to a ripe age, and albeit
they suffer very severely at times,
they generally enjoy excellent generel
health, the very causes of the gout
keeping their blood in good condi-
tion and making it unendurable to
many kinds of microbes.
Cases have occurred of whole house-
holds except one member, being
stricken down with infectious dis-
eases, and the lucky exception has

RHEUMATISM OR GOUT,
which alone has prevented him from
