TIDEHEALTH QP' .MANX WO- MEN' EN' IN A PRECARIOUS CONDITION. Headaches, Pains Easily Account- ed I'or and Functional Derange- ments Make Fife Miserable. :Throughout the length and breadth'' of Canada there aro thousands and thousands of grateful people who admit that they. awe health and strength to the use of Dr, Williams' pink Pills, and who speak always— as they 'should do—in terms of wannest praise of this medicine. Among the many friends Dr. have Wil- liams'there is Pixzk Pills made perhaps none more enthusiastic in speaking of the pills than. Mrs. Ed- ward Ateheson. of Orangeville, Ont., nt ., who for two years suffered intensely, but at last found a euro through the use of this remedy. To a reporter of the Orangeville Sun, Mrs. Atche- son said: "Three years .ago I became very much run down. My appetite almost vanished, I grew pale, was subject •to headaches, dizziness, pal- pitation of the heart and a ringing noise in the ears. •I tried several medicines, but they did not help me, and I was consequently much de- pressed and feared I was doomed to go through life a chronic invalid. -One day X read• the cure of a woman whose symptoms wore almost identi- cal with my own, through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills: I sent for a box, and by the time it was finish- ed I was sufficiently encouraged to send for another, and so on until I had taken sixboxes, when I was in every sense of the Wore' a different person. Every symptom of my late illness had vanished, and I was once more enabled to look after my house- hold duties with old-time health and vigor.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a real blessing to all *odic, weary wo- men. They build up the blood and cure all the functional ills from which so many women suffer in sil- ence.

Apparently as the result of the ad- mirable experiments in cavalry train- ing made by Lieut. -Col. do Lisle at Hounslow, the new system of instruct. tion is to be introduced into the First Army Corps, writes an Alder- shot correspondent of the London Daily Mail The innovation will do away with much of the useless routine work which in the past has occupied so much of the cavalryman's time. From the beginning of tate training the aimwill be to develop the cav- alryman's power of initiative and resource and general intelligence in the field. One of his first lessons will be to catch his horse when turned loose, to train it, and ride it across country instead of around the riding school. The care of horses is also to be taught. Mien are to bo instructed in the treatment of minor horse mala- dies, how to judge and treat lame- ness, and to tell good forage from bad. Outpost and advance guard duties, reconnoissance duties and map read- ing are to be taught thoroughl'y, Parties of men are to bo sent out tofind their way to fixed points en- tirely by the map. The art of scout- ing will be instilled by the "flag etealitrg" game and practical • trials of scouting, in which special stress is to be laid on intercepting moves of the enemy, learning his strength without being seen, despatch riding and snaking intelligible verbal and written reports. . More attention is to be paid to firing, the proper appreciation of cover, rapid shooting, 'natural rests, and the effects of wind. Skill at arms is not to be forgot- ten, and mounted combats and com- petitions are to be instituted. To render charging a little more scientific, an interesting game, some- what after the idea indulged in by the German • infantry, will be prac- tised. A squadron of dun:miies in line will form the objective, and the squadron bowling over the greatest number of tho enemy will be declared the winner. 4 IIIEALTH FOR BAi3Y IN WINTER. Winter is coming on when • baby will of necessity be confined to the house a great deal. Unless his con- stitution is rugged the close confine- ment will soon tell on his health. An occasional dose of Baby's Own Tablets will act as a safeguard dur- ing the winter mouths.. If begun be- fore the winter arrives mothers can be reasonably certain that their little ones will retain good health during the months of indoor confinement. 73raby's Own Tablets euro indigestion, sweeten the stomach, break up colds, prevent croup, regulate the bowels and keep baby healthy and happy. Concerning the Tablets, Mrs. G. G. Sawyer, Clarenceville, Que., says : "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for my' little girl'and find that they aro the vary; best medicine that I can . give her."

Collectors of postage-stanme will be interested to examine their .collee- tions in the light of some words 01 a philatelist. Ile says that many stamps bear the pictures of animals. Arranging the stamps according to the design they bear, the stamp-coi- lector, can .gather a considerable menagerie. The thrco-cent Canadian stanip of 1.857. bears a beaver, l'Teabfaundlaxtd issues of 1&06 leavethe seal and the codfish. The seal on these stamps ias Ievever, arqueer creature, arer fit for museum of frealcs, for he has claws like e, tiger. In 1880 the .govern- ment had the seal redrawn with dippers. In 1887 the Newfoundland dog appears oil the half -cent stamp. tin'1860 the iii the UnitedSta es liorse was printed in brown on the two -cont stamp, and in the Omaha issue, the year of the fair, appeared two more animals, the bull and the buffalo. In the eastern hemisphere the ani- mal stamps are more numerous and strange. China furnishes a fish, a sea -gull and 'a dragon. Across the Indian Ocean in the Congo Free State one finds the elephant on the one -franc stamp. Liberia furnishes the hippopotamus on the two -octet stamp in bistor and black, As one travels through Africa , he finds on the stamps of Nyassa the spotted giraffe. In Egypt he comes. upon the camel on all the stamps of the Sudan, and in the wilderness of the French Congo be finds the leop- ard on the cheaper stamps. Travelling eastward again to North Borneo the collector discovers four more animals to add to his collection the deer, ythe peacock, the crocodile and the monkey. In New South Wales appear one animal and two birds which are pe- culiar to that part of the world—the kangaroo standing erect on the chilling stamp, the emu and the lyre -bit d. A. short distance farther, in Now Zealand, one gets the sacred hnia bird. The picture of the duck- bill, half bird, half animal decorates some of the stamps of Tasmania, and the black swan is contributed by Western Australia. The small islands a of Seychelles show a turtle. From Peru come two llamas. In Guatemala a quetzel, a hard that will not live in captivity, is produced on the stamps as an em- blem mblem of national freedom. On some of the stamps issued by Persia ap- pears the lion. T nsenn3 also shows s a lion on its early issues. In the Colombian republic the bald eagle is used. It is also shown on stamps of the French colonies. In the latest issue of Cuban stamps is the ox pulling the plow in the fields. While collectors have not captured all the wild animals, they have enough. to make an interesting ex- hibition. 4 r GREAT WORK IN NES BBJJI WIOK DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS MADE F. W. HARRIS A WELL MAN.

Machine Which Will do Work of Seven 1,i.en. Mr. J. H. Knight, of Farnham, England, has patented a machine which will lay bricks at a pace hith erto undreamt of even by the "mir- acle" workers at Neasden. Hitherto the British workman has considered the laying of from 500 to 600 bricks a good day's work. At Neasden, under American methods, a record average has been struck of 2,278 per man. Mr. Knight claims for his experimental machine that it will do the work of six or seven skilled bricklayers, at considerably less than half the cost, Simple in construction, the ma- chine weighs about 60 lbs., and does not require skilled labor for its working. It runs upon a light girl der, which can be raised as the work progresses. The bricks aro fed to it by hand; a lever pushes them home, side' rollers keep a face on the work, and other rollers press the bricks down on the mortar; which is • run out by a Hopper, worked, liko . the machine, by hand. It is not ducted • for ornamental work, but buildings of a plain char- acter Can bo raised by it from the inside without any of the scaffolding which plays so protrlin:ent a part in present-day building, And it cannot shirk its work. 11liss Gabble: seems ai, most pleasant person to talk to,f' "1=luh 1 She doesn't seem to think so."
