Dyspepsia is caused by poor digestion, and to get rid of this terrible affliction,, it is necessary to place the stomach in a good condition. For this purpose Burs dock Blood Bitters has no equal. Mrs. Norrnan A. MacLeod, Port Bevis, l`l`.S., writes:—"For the last ten years I suffered dreadfully with dyspepsia, at.d I could not keep anything on my stomach., I tried several kinds of medicines, but none of them seemed to 'do me any good. At last a friend advised me to try Bun dock Blood Bitters, which I did, and after using five bottles I was completely cured. I would advise any one troubled with stomach trouble to use B.B.B. I care not recommend it too highly." BurdockeBlood Bitters is manufac• tured only by The T. Milburn Co„ Limited, Toronto,. Ont. A DANISH WEDDING. There Are Seldom Fewer Than 50 Guests Present. The number of invitations varies according to the means of the bride's parents„ but there are sel- dom less than 50 assembled,and often as many as 150, old and young. A day or two before the wedding the various guests send their gifts, not to the bride, but to her parents, consisting generally of contributions toward the expected feast, and beyond participating in much revelry and good cheer the bride and bridegroom do not derive any benefit. One friend contri- butes. say, sight pounds of butter piled high on a platter fringed with greenery; another a score or two of eggs or some chickens. A lamb, joints of beef, or a small cask of fine old ale follow in quick succes- sion, and in this way the parents frequently receive more provender than can be consumed at the festiv- ity, and their sole expense consists of the hiring of plates and dishes from the nearest stares in the town where the farmer sells his grain and buys his wife's groceries and ribbons. For months before the wedding the bride, with her mother and sis- ters, have been hard at work at the loom, spinning and weaving all the linen for the person as well as the house, which store, together with a • pair of young horses, a couple of cows, and a pair of sheep, invaria- bly form a part of her marriage outfit. Bridal ornaments are not heirlooms, as in Norway. The Dan- ish peasant girl wears a simple crown of myrtle with her national costume—varying with the district, but always charming—and pots of myrtle are carefully cherished by girlish hands through the long win- ters in anticipation of the great event. Her sole heirloom is the great oaken dower chest, heavily clamped and often finely carved, that holds her goodly store of linen. At 11 o'clock on the wedding morning all the guests meet at the house of the bride, driving up in carts, and when she is ready the long procession starts for the church, headed by two outriders, who are the "best men." Next fol- lows a cart containing the band, comprising three or four brass in- struments, and the village fiddler. After them tomes the cart contain- ing the bride alone, both parents remaining at home to put the fin- ishing touches to the festive board, already spread. Behind the bride eomes the bxidegreom, also alone. He sits in the middle of his vehicle, in all the conscious glory of a new tall hat and a vast cloak of man capes, worn even in the summer time as lending a dignity suitable to the solemn occasion and as a mark of distinction. Near the church children strew fiowers, as well as near the bride's old home, where there is also an archway draped with flags. Returning from church, the bride and bridegroom ait together, the band preceding them, heralding their approach with gleeful strains. a VAS .TROUBLED VIITH MS HEART HAD TO GIVE UP WORD Mr. Alfred Male, Eloida, Ont., writes: "I was troubled with my heart for two or three years. I thought sometimes that I would die. I went to the doctor, and he said he could not do anything for me. I had to give up work. My wife persuaded me to try Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. The first box relieved me,. so I kept on until I had taken seven boxes, and they cured me. I would not be without thein on any account, as they are worth their weight in gold. I advise'my friends and neigh- bors who are trpubled with heart or nerve trouble to :try them," To any of those suffering from heart or nerve trouble we tau recommend our Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills with the greatest confidence.

WINTER PRESERVES. . _ Raspherry liineglur.--•Place three pounds raspberries `in • a • jar. and heat them thoroughly to extract all the juices, strain this, and add one quart of the best white vinegar, Ada one poundsugar to every pint of liquid and simmer gently for 20 minutes to half an hour. Bottle and use as required, Pickled 'Walnuts. -Make a brine with one gallon of water and three pounds salt. Prick the young wal- nuts and place them in the brine. Leave them in this for nine days, changing the brine every three days. After the vninth day place them on a tray in the sun to dry, when they will turn black. Place them in jars when quite dry. Boil one quart of vinegar with one ounce whole black pepper, one-half ounce allspice, one ounce bruised ginger for 10 minutes. Strain and add it to the walnuts. Tie down ready for use in winter. Chutney.—Take one pound each of apples, gooseberries, tomatoes, figs and raisins. Pass these through a mincing machine, add one quart ofvinegar, two pounds sugar, one- quarter pound salt, one ounce gin- ger, two ounces garlic and one- quartel ounce red pepper; plane all in a pan and boil for an hour— bottle and use. Crab-apples make excellent chutney. Canning Tomatoes._Scald and remove the skins fro mthe toma- toes, cutout thecoreand hard parts; put the tomatoes into a por- celain -lined kettle and bring to boiling point. To each quart add a teaspoonful of salt, fill the jars, stand them in the cannery and pro- cess for 30 minutes. Be careful to sterilize the rubbers and lids before sealing the jars by immersing them in boiling water. Never use a jar that cannot be hermetically sealed. Covering Apple Jelly with Melt- ed Paraffin.—Wash and wipe fruit. Remove the stems ; cut in pieces, put in preserving kettle, nearly pover with cold water ; cook very slowly until apples are tender. Pour in- to a hot jelly bag and drain thor- oughly, but do not squeeze. Mea- sure the juice, allow one pound of sugar to every pint of juice. Boil the juice for half an hour; add the sugar, which has been heated on a platter in the oven ; stir until the sugar is dissolved-; boil for eight minutes or until it jellies. Skins when necessary. Pour the jelly in- to glasses; let stand until `firm and. pour melted paraffin over the top of each glass; then cover with paper cover. Keep all jellies in a cool, dry, dark pfaee. USING TTP FATS. Fats that are derived from the cooking of bacon, ham, chicken, beef and other meats should be kept, each in its own receptacle, to be used for different purposes. Home rendering of both suet and leaf lard has its ,advantages, be- cause the -product is generally su- perior to what can be bought for the same price. Both suet and leaf lard require cooking in order to loosen the fat from the tougher membrane that holds it. For this purpose the ma- terial is cut in small pieces and covered with water and allowed to cook slowly for some time until no more water remains. A better method for suet is that used by German housewives, who economize on butter by the use of beef fat more than do Canadian housekeepers. The suet is cut in small pieces and covered with water, in which it is allowed to soak for a day, the water being changed once in the time. It is then drained, the scrap has turned .to a light brown, and put into an iron kettle with one-half teacup of skimmed milk to every pound of the suet.- It should be cooked very slowly until the sound of boiling en- tirely ceases. When it has partly cooled it should be carefully poured off. This fat has no unpleasant taste or odor, and in many recipes may be substi- tuted for part of the butter. Some cooks add a pound of deaf lard to four or five of the suet; this makes a softer fat, as lard has a lower melting paint than beef fat. An old-fashioned method of clari- fying fat from the soup kettle, or from cooked meats, so that it may be used in the kitchen, is to add the cold fat to a liberal ernantity of cold water, then heat slowly and let cook for an hour or more. When cold, the cake of fat is removed and the lower portion, -which will con- tain the small particles of meat, etc., should be scraped away and the- white, clean fat saved. If the flavor or Color of both are not satis- fastory the process may be repeat- ed several times. Another method which isoften recommended - is to cook a number of slices of raw po- tato in the boiling flat. When an ice chest is used, fat in Ismail quantities may be easily kept sweet for cooking purposes. If lard is rendered at home in quantity sufficient for a long time, it should: be kept covered in tins or earthen laic, in a cool, dry platee, as in a. cellar or storeroom, RICE AND LETTUCE. A usual combination of special food value is cold boiled rice heap- ed on cross or lettuce, In the cen- tre of the rice put some slices of pickled red beets and sprinkle the whole with chopped olives before adding the completing tough of a rich mayonnaise. Or turn out little molds of cold boiled spinach upon cress or lettuce, decorating with slices of hard-boiled eggs and -.olives. Whore lettuce alone is at hand vary the dressing instead of the principal ingredient, Combine for the sauce half a eup of cream, the yolks of twd eggs, a dozen capers and four teaspoonfuls of tarragon vinegar. Beat thoroughly and pour over the lettuce, tossing the latter with a fork to mix the sauce thor- oughly through.. • A salad that the men folk will re- joice in --that sex as a rule being partial to onion—is made in this way : Half a dozen sweet green pep- pers, with the seeds removed in the usual way,and one large Bermu- da onion, all of these minced fine by passing them through a meat. chopper. Add salt, pepper, French mustard, a cup of olive oil and the juice of one lemon, in which a one - inch piece of preserved ginger has been minced very fine. Serve on lettuce, very cold. - . The basis of many a tasty salad is cream cheese, one recipe applying to it being as follows : Chop very fine some olives and green peppers; combine with the -cheese, using enough cream to arrive at an agree- able smoothness, and serve on cress or lettucewhich has been dipped in French dressing. Or chopped olives and pickles can be stirred into the cheese in the same way. ROPE HORSESHOES. Row the Germans Provide for Safe- ty in the Streets. Owing to the rapid increase • in the mileage of streets paved with asphalt and wood blocks and to the congestion of traffic in the large cities, it was found necessary to afford greater safety for horses, to prevent their -slipping and to enable them to come to a quick stop. This bas been attained by fitting them with `-`rope" horseshoes. - These shoes were first_ manufactured some 25 years ago. but it is only during the last decade that the industry has grown to large proportions. Various forms and shapes • of shoes are used. Some are open at the back, like an ordinary horse- shoe. Others are closed; and often, besides being closed there is a bridge or crosspiece joining the two sides. When this is the case the bridge is constructed like the rest of the shoe, inclosing a tarred rope. There are usually eight nail holes in each shoe; and in order to strength- en the bottom, and especially to make the nail holes more secure, the walls of the groove. are some- times reinforced by braces. The space in the centre of the shoe is often covered over with various kinds of inserts to protect the frog from injury. The latest novelty, which has been adopted by the Roy- al stables, is the insertion at the back of the shoe of a block of wood into which stiff bristles have been driven. This is an additional pre- ventive again slipping. When the ground is covered with snow a spe- cial ice plate is inserted in its, stead. It is customary to use special nails with long heads in attaching the - hoes to the hoof. When the long-headed nails are used, it is possible to drive them in and to ex- tract them witheut taking out the rope. These nails, which are driven between the outer side of the groove and the tarred rope, also help to hold in the rope: The tarred rope .wears down simultaneously with the •rest of the shoe, and it is only on rare occasions that the rope must be withdrawn and new insert- ed. This change can be- made with- out removing the shoe.. The -aver- age life of a rope horseshoe is six to eight weeks. The advantages and disadvan- tages of the rope shoes .can be sum- marized as follows :—Advantages— They are light and comfortable for the horse; they help to- prevent slipping; they break the concnssinn and deaden the sound of the hoop. Disadva•etages=-The driving of the nails requires more care; the black- smith must have in stack a larger qua -city d shoes of various shapes and sizes. Great ears has to be taken in the preparation of rope horse shoes not to overheat the iron nor to hammer it when. too cold, otherwise it will crack on the an-. vil. • In addition to thelain tarred 1 par rope horseshoes there are shoes in which rope interwoven with wire, wood, - ruhber, 'copper, wirework, rush. etc.,' is used. " These are heavier, somewhat more exenneive; and lens practical then tha plain rope shoes, and therefore have not become so well .established. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDY POISONING FROM OVERWORK INTERNATIONAL LES SOISfs AU(UUb.a 18. Lesson VII. -The ruler's. daughter, Mark 5. 21443.. Goldesn • Text„ Mark 5. 41,• ' Verse 21. • Crossed over again - Immediately after healing the de- moniac on the eastern shore of the Lake of Galilee, Jesus and his dis- ciples returned to the western shore, Mark, in characteristic fashion, interweaves the incident of healing into his narrative. Re does not follow the chronology given in Matthew 9. 1-18, but seems to se- lect incidents which he considers of great importance. 22.

The narratives is interrupted at this point by the incident of the healing of the woman with an is- sue of blood, verses 25 to 34. • Al- though Jairus's case was urgent, Jesus took time to honor - the faith of the woman who touched his garment. However, the interrup- tion has the literary value of 'sus- taining and ointensifying the inter- est in the main: narrative. 35. While, he yet speke-To the woman who touched his garment. Why troublest thou ?—This may represent a subtle effort off, this part of Jairus's aristocratic friends to have nothing further to do with the Galilaean peasant. It is more likely, however, that the question was the result of their belief that the child was past restoration and further solicitation would cause Jesus useless trouble. - 36. Not heeding the word—Or; overhearing. Jesus overheard what was not addressed to him and paid, no attention to it. Fear not, only believe—An exhor- tation to steady, unwavering faith in the face of the aparently greater difficulty, Here, as in many other places, faith is represented as the condition upon which the miracle is to be effected. In other instanc- es, such as the healing of the wo- man with gal issue of blood (verses 25-34), the condition of the healing is personal faith" Ip this instance it is substantial faith. The child is dead,' so that she has no power to believe, but the father's faith is ac- cepted as sufficient ground for re- storation of her life. - 37. Peter, and James, and John —Jesus's "inner. circle" of friends who were, with him at. the trans- figuration (Mark 9. 2) and in Geth- semane (14. 33). Only the three dis- ciples were taken, that the strictest secrecy might be maintained con- cerning this unusual miracle. It had been the habit of Jesus on numerous occasions to enjoin sec- recy in regard to his miracles, lis object being to avoid as much as possible the unwelcome notoriety which they produced. Yet he de- sired that some of the disciples should hae the benefit of such a lesson. 38. Weeping and wailing greatly —The lamentation of hired mourn- ers, the number and commotion of which had increased:: to meet the requirements of the -family's social standing. 39. Not dead, but sleepeth—Sleep. was a common symbol of death. The statement did not in any sepse de- tract from the reality of death. Jesus tittered it in the conscious- ness that he would raise the child to -life again. 40. Laughed him to scorn The conduct of the hired mourners, who knew the girl to be dead.

Straightway The return to life was effected instantly. 43. No man should. know •— The report of such a miracle would so increase the popularity of Jesus among the people and create a cor- responding hatred among the'Jew- ish Jew-ish leaders as fo hinder the more important work of teaching the principles of the Kingdom. ANCIENTS USE PETROLEUM. The petroleum industry, which - has made suchgreet advances: dur- ing the last fifty years, deals witha product which has been known in other lands froth. earliest days. In China it was -used long before his- tory was first written. The famous petroleum springs near Baku on the western shore of the Caspian NEW DEFENCE FOR STIORTER nouns. A 'fired Person is Poisouetl- by Waste Products of lI s Own Hotly. During the last century, while many who have seen the practical results of overwork in •industry,. and year after year sought a legal re- medy, men of various sciences have unknown to them been studying the same phenomena in the labora- •ry, Physiologists, chemists, bac- teriologists and psychologists have contributed to this study-. It is the facts brought out by such investi- gations, which,as, presented by Louis. D. Brandeis and Miss Gold - mark, have afforded a powerful and successful argument before the fed eral supreme court for upholding state legislation regulating health conditions in industry. - A tired person is literally and ac- tually a poisoned person—poisoned iby. his own waste products, Bu so marvelously is the body con- structed that, like a running stream, it purifies itself and during repose the cast-off impurities are normally burned up by the :oxygen brought, by the blood, excreted by the kidneys, destroyed in the liver, or eliminated from the body through, the lungs. So rest repairs fatigue. This balance is kept true and fa- tigue is repaired just as long as it. remains within physiological limits; that is, as long as activity is bal- anced by repose, the obnoxious pro- ducts of activity are more quickly eliminated and tissue is rebuilt. The physiological normal phenome- non of fatigue becomes pathologi- cal or abnormal exhaustion, as soon as the balance between rest and fa- tigue is destroyed: DIE FROM POISONING. In extreme instances, as when hunted animals drop dead in the chase, they die not from overstrain of any particular organ, such as the heart, but from sheer chemical poisoning due to the unexpelled waste matter of fatigue. But the laws of fatigue furnish a scientific basis•for legislation and an explanation of the effect of over- work on health, output and pro- duction. This is the more import- ant because regulation of the length of working hours has been so bit- terly opposed by those who fear that the lessening of the hours of labor means a corresponding eco- nomic loss. From the first ,.dawn of protective legislation in England over a century ago to the present day the rallying cry for the most di= verse -minded opponents of legisla- tion has been the threatened ruin of industry and manufactures. Yet the unconscious: consensus of tes- timony from -various states and countries -on the economic benefits of the short day, recorded in 'offici-. al and unofficial documents, is in itsturn as impressive as we found the unanimity of evidence -on the physical effects of the long day. The essential injury of overtime is due to what has been graphically proved by the ergograph that ef- fort increases with fatigue, that work continued after fatigue has set in requires so much' more sub- sequent time for recuperation. But during a rush or overtime season such time for recuperation is neces- sarily lacking. The girl who is,kept. in the great department stores un- til 10, 11 or 12 o'clock at night dur- ing one- or two frenzied weeks be- fore the holiday which. heralds THE REIGN OF PEACE; the girl who works at fever heat all evening stitching shirtwaists in.. January for the spring, trade, is not relieved from the ncessity of reporting for work at 7 or 8:o'clock the next morning. She comes to Work unprepa-ied and .with each day of overtime- accumulated fa- tigue necessarily grows. In theory the requirement of overtime is supposed to be balanc- ed by the slack • period: which often follows. A short period of over- exertion is assumed to be compen- sated by a subsequent let-up. But the s -k ek period which often follows overtime does not give the .suppos- ed opportunity for leisure and re- cuperation. . It' is itself a season of deprivation. For slack,_' work means slack pay, with a consequent loss rather than gain in opportuni- ties for recuperation. Yet, so far as the overworked are concerned, all these causes of dis- tYess might be removed -wages, food, housing and sanitation, all be raised to; a higher level --and yet the essential pause of :. breakdown would be untouched so long as the few extra hours of work remain, as our :supposed critics, would call them.

Some Rich Prizes~ Found on the «, Deep Blue Sea. The owners, officers, and crew of any ship that rescues another at sea from a perilous position are • en- titled by law to receive salvage money for doing so.. All European nations observe thislaw. The amount of salvage money re- ceived for rescuing a disabled ship depends partly upon the value of the rescued ship's cargo, and partly on the' extent of the risks run by the rescuers in salving the disabled vessel. As a. general rule,a fifth of the value of the cargo - is paid by the owners of the rescued ship, but from time to time as much as half the value of the salved cargo has been paid. - Some years ago it fell to the lot of a little Bristol tramp named the Teacher, to rescue, at great risk to herself and her crew, a Russian liner, which had broken her pro- peller when within ten miles of Manukau Bar, on the West .' Joast of New Zealand. The Russia -2i ship was in a most perilious position when the Teacher came to her res- cue; she was drifting on to the dan- gerous bar, and would certainly have been wrecked but for the time- ly arrival of the Teacher, which took her in tow and brought her safely to port, where she was able to get fitted with a new propeller. The Russian ship had $300,000 in specie on board. The Teacher's captain—who was also her owner— demanded $150,000 for sawing this valuable cargo, and, after some litigation in the Russian courts, he was awarded $75,000. Under ,the award each of the crew, of whom there were six, took $3,500 of the sum. allowed. This was one of the biggest hauls ever taken in the way of salvage money. . Another big haul was made by .a small Spanish tramp. She rescued an • English. cattle -ship named the Barking, which had on board some tons of cable wires, and became 'dis- abled in raid -ocean through the smashing of her steering -gear. The Spanish tramp towed. the Barking into' Southampton; the owners' of the. La Manta subsequently sent in a little bill for $25,000 to the own- ers of the Barking, which:•was paid..: Each of the crew received $500. Sometimes the captain of a rescu- ing steamer goea to theescue of a disabled" ship to make a bargain with the captain of the latter that a certain spm will be paid him—or his owner=in the way of salvage money, and a much bigger sum, is sometimes secured in this way by a rescuing ship - than would be awarded her owners, officers, and crewin•court; but, on - the other hand, if an agreement of this sort is entered into,' the circumstances it which the captain of the disabled ship has : no choice but to accept may be set aside - if the , matter comes into court. - This ' was done some years ago, when the captain of a ` German steamer demanded $20,000 from the captain of an English steamer, named the Eagle. which had groundedon a re-ef near Aden, in the Red Sea, The Eagle had been on the'reef for three days, and it s Was certain that, if he remans d there another day, she would be come a total wreck. She was carry- , in silver specie to the value of $00,000, which fact, when it became. known. to the captain of the German, steamer, made him demand the big sum of $0,000 for getting the Eagle off the reef and towing her to Aden. Litigation ensued' over the matter subsequentl' and the . Gorman tramp was awarded exactly half the sunt her captain had forced the cap- tain of.tbe Eagle to agree to. MPORTANT WR1I1G !

OFFICIAL TOBACCO TESTERS. • Men ,Who Earn Living by Smoking All Day. In the French Ministry :of Fin- ance there is a glass of official whose activity is little known to the outer world. These men are the of- ficial tobacco testers, and they pass judgment on every kind of tobacco manufactured in France. They consist of a chairman and five assistants, and from morning to evening they have nothing to de but smoke cigars, cigarettes and pipes, in order to arrive at an esti- mate stimate of the different kinds of to- bacco submitted to them. It is notonly the products of home industry that come .before them for judgment, but bite cigars and cigar- ettes that are sold in France have also to make their appeal to the decision of their palate, and the •• pleasantest part of the day's work comes when it falls to their lot to test the high priced Havana cigars sold by the State. • The officials who undertake this difficult and responsible duty are ex-inspee„tors of tobacco manufac- tories, who have passed a certain number: of years in the State's ser- vice and have given proof of their capability for this peculiar kind of work. Their by no means light duty consists in smoking from 9 in the. morning to 5 -in the evening, and very often it is by no means the best kinds o ftobaeco with which they have to deal. The injurious influence of this tobacco debauch, which "produces dryness of . the mouth and throat, and might easily lead to nicotine poisoning, they en- deavor to combat by drinking great quantities of black coffee, which acts as an antidote to the effects of the nicotine imbibed. And it is only bleak coffee that renders it possible for them to distinguish be- tween and estimate the value of the various_ kinds of strong tobacco. The danger run by these valiant officials can est be gauged by re- membering highly memberin te' hi hl -poisonous character of nicotine, as brought out especially by the experience of a Croatian in the Crirngar 'war, • who, on finding a snake in a wall, • knocked ..the bowl off his chibouk and plunged the ,end into its - mouth, with • the result that it fell dead at his, feet as stiff as a piece of iron.
