Chinese IYZother's Put Toys on the Graves of Their Children.,: On the graves of children, said the sexton attached to a large necropo- lis to the present writer recently, one maY frequently see many things other than flowers. I remember a couple of years ago digging the grave for the little daughter of a well-known public man whose name you Would at once recognize were I to mention IL The funeral was quite a big affair, and when X had filled in the grave the space it cov- d was piled high with beautiful Ifeerers, says a writer in London Tiit.,-Bits. Tho day following, as 1 was busy digging, a ragged little urchin, a. girl of seven or eight, came timidly up, watched me at work for a few minutes, and then asked whore the little lady who had been buried the day before was laid. As it was din- ner time I jumped out of the. half - finished grave and took her to the flower -laden spot. After a few sec- onds' silent contemplation the child pulled out from beneath her shawl a little rag doll dressed in an incong- ruous fashion, evidently by her own fingers, and said, very low:— "Mister, aright I put this 'ere doll on the grave; she gave me tots of pennies and I'd liko her to 'ave it?" What could I say? I'm not yet hardened, .though I do bury people every day, and death, perhaps, ap- pears less terrible to me than to many. I didn't 'even answer her, but we made a place for the doll among the flowers, and 1 think if the rich child could have looked on, and per- haps she did, she would have been as pleased with that little rag doll as any of the ' magnificent wreaths which had been sent by HER WEALTHIER FRIENDS. Several Chinese children whose parents have become Christians aro buried here, and we frequently find funny things on their graves. The mothers often ask to be allowed to place tho little one's toys on the gravenbut this, of course, ee refused, though we sometimes find 'Gnat it has been done during the night: As one Chinese h_other said to me, "If flowers are placed on the grave with the idea that they give pleas- ure to the departed, why not toys and other things?" And when she pus. it in that light the only an- swer I could make was, "But flowers aro appropriate, and make the grave pretty," to which she replied, "Well,, 1 think toys do too, when it is a child," and I half agreed with her. Rather an extraordinary thing hap- - pened about five years ago, soon af- ter I took to the gravedigging pro- fession. I had just, filled in the grave of a woman whose husband was the only mourner at the poor funeral, when, on looking round, I found the widower was silently watching me. As he wiped away his tears ho expressed regret that he was unable to put more than a handful of heather on her grave, though how ho had got the money to bury her decently I don't know. "In a day or two," he said, "when the mould is nicely pressed down, I will comp again and put her name in stones." I didn't quite understand what he meant, but a week later when I passed by the grave, which, like all graves that have no head- stones, was marked by A NUMBER ONLY, I no is d that across the surfaco which 1 it covered was traced the word "Mary" in large blue stones. I did not think much about it at the time, but a few days later I was showing a friend of mine, who is a• jeweller, over the cemetery, and when wo came to "Mary's" grave he stopped beside it in. astonishment. "Who does this belong to?" he asked. "A. millionaire?" "Not much," I replied, "more likely the wife of the poorest man in these parts." He picked up a piece of the blue ' stone and examined it critically. "The finest specimens of Indian turquoise in the rough that I have ever seen," he said. I didn't believe it at first, but he soon proved his words, and we sent for. the old man and asked where he had got them from. 1t appears that ho Jia.d served in the Indian army, and the stones had been given to hila by a fakir or juggler, I forget which, but he had no idea that they bad any value above their beauty. Ile wished than to be left on the grave, but when 1 insisted that un- less he took them away I should haste to inform the authorities, he reluctantly gathered them together and put them in his pocket. My friend afterwards bought them from him, and with the money the old man was able to live comfortab- ly ancl; at the same time, put up a pretty cross to the memory of his wife. Ho didn't survive a great while, however, and the two now LIE IN THE SAME GRAVE. Perhaps you would not believe it, but on more than ono occasion I have found a rosary worth, perhaps, $500 lying on the grave of a decease ed Catholic. I remember discovering on the grave of a child of fifteen the rosary that had been given to her on her first colmnunion. It has the regulation number of beads, each ono of which was '0 pearl, while 'the lit- tle cross was of gold set with sever- al valuable stones. Wo pointed out to the parents the folly of placing, ench. a liable Piece of jewellery in a place Where anyone might pick it nY g up; but they replied that no ono ev- er stole a rosary, and certainly there has never been ono missing from this cemetery*,_ ,�,_�, Howe' cu', the risk was too groat in this case, and ,the authorities in- sisted on •Ste being replaced with a string Ofless valuable beads. But the sentiment was in the restd:ry hav- ing avIng been used at ' the child's first cosnrsruniote And when it . was ramov od the parents did not replace •h by • Another. BPS OF TO AY WILL BE THE MEN of THE FUTURE, They Should be Rugged and Sturdy, Full of Life ande Beady for Work, Play or Study -=Keep Thera Healthy,; Growing boys should always be. healthy and rugged. Ready for play, ready for study, and ready at any tinea for a hearty meal. This condi- tion denotes good health, but there arc entirely too many who do not come up to this standard. They take no part in the manly games all healthy boys indulge in; they are stoop -shouldered, dull and listless; they complain of froquent headaches, and their appetite is variable. Some- timee parents say, "Ole, they'll out- grow it." But they won't—its the blood that's out of condition, and instead of getting bettor they get worse. What boys of this class re- quire to make them bright, active and strong, is a tonic, something that will build up the blood and make the nerves strong. There is no medicine that can do this as quickly and as effectively as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, Mrs. Mary Compton, of Morriton, Ont., tells what these pills did for her sixteen year old son. She says: "About two years ago my son Samuel began 'to decline in health. He grew very pale and thin and at times experienced serious weak spells, coupled with a tired, worn out feeling, and as the weeks went by bo grew worse. - This alarmed me, for my husband had died of what the doctors called pernicious anaemia, and I feared lay son was going the same way. I had often read that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills would cure anaemia, and decided that he should try them. A couple of boxes made a decided improve- ment in his condition, and by the time he had taken a half dozen box- es his health was better than it hacl been for some years previous. His weight had increased, his listlessness had disappeared, and he was blessed with a good appetite. I may add that other members of my family have been benefitted by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I con- sider these pills the best of all medi- cines." Poor and watery blood is the cause of nearly all diseases, are. it is be- cause Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act di- rectly upon the blood, both enrich- ing it and increasing the quantity, that they cure such troubles as anae- mia, 'rheumatism, indigestion, neu- ralgia, heart troubles, incipient con- sumption and the various ailments that afflict so many women. These pills may be bad from any dealer in medicine or will be sent post paid at 50c. a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing to the Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. If you value your health never allow a deal- er to persuade you to take some- thing else. A DECREASE. "Smoothpate," I say to niy Mend, speaking of a mutually de- tested acquaintance, "always was a frivulous person. Even at his pres- ent age he never seems to have any more on his mind than he had when he was a boy." "He doesn't have as much," says nay friend. "Ho is totally bald now." ' LARGE LOAVES. The largest loaves of bread baked in the world are those of France and Italy. The "pipe" bread of Italy is baked in • loaves 2 feet or 8 feet long, while in France the loaves are made in the shape of very long rolls, 4 feet or 5 feet in length, and in many cases 6 feet. MAKE BABY FEEL GOOD. A baby's temper depends upon how Ito feels. If ailing he will be cross, worry the mother and annoy every- body in the Louse; if feeling well he will be bright, active and happy. It is easy to keep your baby feeling good by profiting by the experience of mothers who give their little ones Baby's Own Tablets. Ono of these mothers, Mrs. C. W. Shore, Castle- ton, Ont., says:—"Our child, eight months old, has always been troubl- ed with indigestion. We had medi- cine from two doctors and tried other remedies without benefit. I then sent for a box of Baby's Own Tablets and found then . what rat was required. The child is now all right and is doing well." Indigestion, colic, constipation, diarrhoea, simple fevers, in fact all the minor ailments cle little ones are cured by Baby's Own Tablete. They always do good and cannot possibly d 1 m and bogivento b rar Authe , lxy youngest infant with perfect safety.

An issue that may become an in- terna;tiorral entanglement is tha't regarding the light of Ameaiican flshermen to ply their earring in Bukl..can's 13ay, writes the St. John's Nfld., corx'osponrddent of the Philadel- phia Ledger. Early last winter the Canadian G'ovornment entered into. flogateutioaps for the char'teriag of a Newilourndland seal strip, tie be used as a revenue cruiser, and dospetchad it this summer to Hudson's Lay, to compel the American whalers Jae- quenting these waters to' pay duties on their outfits and otherwise to roctognize Canadians authority. But 'When the Alaalean boundary 'treaty came before' lite United Staters Sen- ate for ratiflcatton the Canadians canceled tbe negotiations for a ship, fearing that it would be unwise to provoke more friction with the Unitsd ' Staites this summer while tbe arbitration one this Pacific problem was pending. Canada claims 'that by tele Treaty of Utrecht, in 1713, Great Britain was ceded the sovereignty of Hud- son's Bay and the adjacent terra twice. But she has never taken any practical stens to affirm this possession, and subsequent treartes have very materially lessened The effect of this original proviso. By the Treaty of 1518 the United S•ta.t- es fishermen were conc'ede'd the tame right. as British subjects along 'tl.e West Newfoundland sea,bo•ard, tee coast of Labrador, and then waken ward indefinitely. This would mean, on the surface, at least, that United States citizens would have /Meese to tan hay on the same foot: - tag . as Canadians; Out Canada chooses to maintain that this is a closed sea, as absolutely exclusive property as if if. belonged co ane of her narrow estuaries. A very nice question of diplomacy is here in- volved, • fox, Hudson's Strait, tite entrance 'to the bay, is over 50 miles wide, and territorial jurisdic- tion extends only three miles from tl:e shore, unless expressly priovided otherwise, so that if Canada cannot maintain her claim to the E./peciflo cession of Bu.dson's Bay there would seem to be no valid or effective reas- on for a,ocusiin•g the fl:thermen floor the Staites of territorial aggresupoal. The issue has newer yeti been for- mally raise(1 between the British and Uritod States Groveinlmex tLs, but American whalers co'ns,.anitly visit the basin, while British and Ganie- dian stripping is conspicuous by its absenne. .VALUE OF THE FISHERIES. The United Sates Fish Commis- sion's reports allow that during 1.1 years the whale fi,:;heries of Itlud- son's Bay noalized a total value of $1,871.000 for fitly voyages, or $27,4,30 per voyage. A single octet bow/head or Greenland wixale is worth $80.000, so it is easy to realize what are the posaibilities coniproliendod in this venture, and what their exclusion from Hudson's Bay would mean to the United States whalemen, For it mutt be relnombelecf that not alone would they be deprived of access to ate waters, but they w'oul'd also be bar- red from the terra Incognita beyonfl Baffin Land that forms its furthest liouiid.ary. These waterways have been the favorite lraunt.s of tee American whalers, which `have made Marble Island, on the northwest por- tion of the bay, ibeir regular winter leaven, so ns 'to be able 'to get at their prey as soon as the ire breaks up in the spring. Spencer's Har- bor, an the north -stale of the strait, is also • a favorite retreat for the New Declined men with the same ob- ject in view, and last summer one whale strip came out with a cargo valued at $70,000, after having; been in the bay 27 months. But the black whale is not the on- ly 'denizen of these waters which affords a profitable pureiit for the American voyager. The region abounds in other commercially val- uable forms of marine life. White wtrales are also a profitable ael utrct to the northern Beilevies, and so abundant are they that a Canadian explorer who visited the bay assorts that he "has observed the water, as far as te:e eye could reach from the 'cloak of a vessel appear to be an un- ciaulating sheet of white, caused by the great schools of white whales." This creature, in its recruit &late, is about fourteen feet long, and is valuable for bolh its hide and oil. They are an alternative purriuit far the New Englanders, as when the black Whales are seal co a ship can always fill t p with their pallid con- geners.

Recent Deaths of Prominent Men From the Most Dreaded of all Maladies Recalls the Fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills have Con- quered It. Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 14.—(Special). —The recent numerous deaths of prominent men from Bright's Disease recalls the case of Geo. H. Kent, of 408 Gilmour St., this city. Mr. Kent, who is still living here, strong •and hearty, was dying of Bright's Disease. He had lost the use of his. limbs and his whole body was ssc ellen to a terrible size. Three doctors were positive that he must die. While watching at his bedside, his wife happened to read an advertise- ment that said Dodd's Kidney Pills would cure Bright's Disease. They wore sent for as 'a last resort. From almost the first dose. Mr. Kent says he felt benefited by them. After taking four boxes he was able to sit up. Seventeen boxes cured him com- pletely. Mr. Kent's cure caused great excite, ment at the time. People who had heard of it came from far and near to see him, and al] went away con- vinced that Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure Bright's .Disease. This conviction is strengthened by a number of other cases reported throughout the country where this great Kidney remedy has been used, and Bright's Disease vanquished. 1sTAVAL POLICE. A Few Facts About This Little Known Force. Probably the most obscure police force in existence is that known as the Naval Police, members of which are to be found on every battle- ship in the British Navy. Although the sailors have their own policemen to look after them, it roust not be inferred that this state of things is necessitated by the bad conduct of the men. As a .natter of fact it is not often that the naval constable has to use his powers afloat, but when in port he is always busy in tiro interests of Jack. The naval constables on every ship aro under the control of the master- at-arms, the highest position in this police force, to which a salary of $10.50 a week is attached. Their duties consist in maintaining order throughout the vessel and guarding the ship's stores. When a ship is in port it is not an unknown occur- rence for: thieves to come aboard un- observed, and the constable on pa- trol has, of course, to prevent this. As soon as a ship enters port it is usual for seamen of good behaviour to obtain leave to go, ashore, and very often Jack is se lost in tho en- joyment of his little holiday that ho fails to return. to his vessel at the rr con- i 1.1i naval e. o ousted time. appointed stables then row ashore, and, hav- ing apprehended the deserter, take him back to his ship, when ho re- coives a light sentence from the mas- ter-at-arms for his thoughtlessness. But withal the naval police are a1 - ways popular with the Wien, who know qe11 enough rtt t they never unless there is make trouble un just e. cause for it. On the other hand, they sometimes resetle jack, sifter a tough light, from the har.;nts of land-. sharks to which he has been lured, ae often en not displaying tbo moat remarkable courage on his behalf. Another reason for the popularity of these police is that they are real- ly seelors themsolvee, and have serv- ed on the Iowa; deck for three years AS ordinary seamen before being pro- moted to corporal of pollee, Furth- ermore, they must have a clean con- duct sheet and be indefatigable work- ers, while to distinguish them they are allowed to wear the letters "N. I'." on their sleeves. f • HINTS FOR FIDGETS. Women with a propensity to fidget should cultivate the habit of sitting perfectly still in a chair with their hands loosely elasped in their laps. A quiet, reposeful manner is more to be desired than riches. Fidgety wo- men have nervous fingers, which ap- parently must always be doing some- thing—playing ome- thingplaying with a chain worn around the neck, beating a tattoo on the lap, crumbling the bread at din- ner, or otherwise occupied in irritat- ing the nerves of outer people. Such woolen should avoid a rocking -chair as they would the plague. It offers too many opportunities to indulge their restive habits. Nervousness of this sort is sometimes due to: 111- health, but frequently it is affecta- tion. The wort -poised woman has 110 fidgety tricks, Catarrh Cannot Be Curea with LOCAL AI nietteATiona, as they cannot roach the seat of the disease.

The Industry Has Almost Gone Out of Existence. Cashmere shawls are still made but their glory has departed, and the cheap and seductive aniline dye Inas displaced the soft anti beautiful colorings in tho old -brae vegetable dyes. The men who understand their manipulation have gone to more lucrative fields, or else they lie in humble graveyards hard by the straggling village -streets of Cashmere. The Cashmere shawl industry re- ceived its deathblow during the Franco-Prussian War, at the break- ing up of the French Court. The shawls were brought to France for the great Napoleon, and fashion im- mediately set her seal upon them. But when the Court of Napoleon III. crumbled in the dust the vogue of the Caslunere shawl fell with it, and famine and distress invaded the far- away valleys of Cashmere. Shadi- pore, which was once one of the cen- tres of the Cashmere shawl industry, is beautifully located in a valley at the junction of Siud and Jhelum rivers. But the village has shrunk to a mere hamlet of rickety houses, and the luxuriant vegetation fails to cover its bareness and poverty. What is left of the shawl industry is car- ried on by boys and men, who earn from two to eight annas a day, or from two cents to four cents. For this beggarly • sum they sit all day long at the looms, which aro almost as forlorn as themselves in appear- ance, for they date back to the days of prosperity, and are held together by a generous use of string. AGI' AVERACES. Here is an estimate of the average ago attained by men in various European 'countries. Norway and Sweden head the list with 50 years. Then come England with 45e years, France 44;, Prussia 39, Wurtenlberg 38, Bavaria and other parts of Ger- many 36.
