A FINE COMPLEXION May Be Rad Through the Rich, Red Blood Or. Williams' Pink Pills Actually Make,. A girl's oomplaexion is sonietliing more than a nlatte,r to concern her 1 vanity, It is an 1�ndication of the State of hear health, Pallor in a growing girl means a thinning of the blood. Parents should be watchful of their daughters' eoxn- plexinns and should csee to it that prose danger signs are corrected, When a girl in her teens be'coxnea pale and sallow, if she shows an inclination to tire easily, is lietlees and inattentive to her work or studies., eihe needs Dr. Williams' Pink Milds, .a tonic wrhieh d>,reetly and specifically corrects the condi- tion from which she is suffering. A ehexnical analysis of the blood of suck, a: girl would show it to be defi- cient in just the' elements that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ,can supply, and which restore- brightness. to the eye, and color to'the cheeks. Miss D,elina Arsenault, Urbainville, P.E.I., is one of the thousands of anaemic girls restored to health by the use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pulls. She says: : "I was attacked with. acnaemia, and was in such a miser- able condition that I had toconsult a doctor, and was. under 'his care for :several anon•ths, but without getting better. I was growing thinner every day, had dark cir- cles around my eyes. I could hard- ly' sleep at night, but tossed rest- lessly and got up in the, morning with black anticipation of the day's miseries before me. I was ialwayis bothered with headaches and pains in the back and limbs. My appe- tite was poor and I frequently vomited what I dol eat. My friends feared that I would not recover, I had often seen Dr. Williams' Pink Pills advertised, and finally de- cided to try them. I used alto- gether nine b•oxe:s, and they made me as well- as ever I was in my life. All the pains and aches dis- appeared ; my appetite returned. I could ,sleep ,soundly at night, and they Dolor returned to my Cheeks. I also gained seventeen pounds in w,eight. I and now always well, and for this happy condition I have to thank Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."

The largest cargo ever taken from Yarmouth, N.S., to Boston, went out on the Prince George re- cently. It was valued at $51,561,- 50, and consisted principally of fish. Robert Colpitis, an 8 -year-old boy of Moncton, N.B., was acciden- tally shot by his 13 -year-old brother Fred, #while the latter was showing a revolver to a companion.

Kansas City invites world attention to the sheer novelty of a man stand- ing in the centre of a diamond point- ing a shotgun at a runner whom he was attempting to halt and send back to second base because of a ground rule, providing that a runner may take only one base on a passed ball We have admired nothing so in- genious and effective since the Texas editor, who used to shoot his sub- scribers in the leg to remind them of their unpaid subscriptions. Yet, the evolution of the umpire with a shot- gun is not so amazing, on second thoughts. It was bound to come; it . befalls appropriately in the militar- istic era, with every promise of en- largement upon the idea when 4irupps and other war toy shops shall study the offensive and, defensive necessities of umpires. Imperiled by the spread of pro- hibition and growing prevalence of pop bottles in the air—for the in- crease of temperance has manifested itself In increased violence and anti- pathies—the umpire is made the goat of the whole "dry" movement. Be- coming daily a graver problem, his situation Is one of the most serious that confronts the American people, Shall the War Department and Con- grese revise the league rules, or will the States s,everally enforce protec- tive measures with their own militia? —St. I ouis Peat. • The doors of a certain new house had shrunk horitibly, as is the way of the modern door made of unsea- soned wood.

J, Behr, of the United States Coast Artillery, has invent- ed a camera that marks a great ad- vance in the art of photographing swiftly -moving objects. It differs from the ordinary camera in size and in the mechanism of its shut- ter. It is almost four feet high. An electric motor that makes sev- eral thousand revolutions a second works the shutter ; and- since the speed of the motor can be accur- ately adjusted, the photographer can determine the length of expo- sure down to one five -thousandth of a. second. The new camera has pho- tographed Mortar shells at the mo- ment when they left the muzzle of the gun, and afterward, ,and has shown the curious "smoke ring" or "gas ring" that accompanieis the projectile when it emerges from the gun. It may- yet help to determine exactly what happens when a mod- ern high-power :shell ploughs its way through solid steel.

My appetite was fitful and my limbs were heavy. Then I decided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I took four boxes and received great benefit from them.

Shortly after two o'clock one bit- ter cold morning a physician drove four miles in answer to a telephone call. On his arrival the man who had summoned him said :-- "Doctor, I ain't in any particu- lar pain, bet somehow or other I've got a feeling that death is nigh," The doctor felt the man's pulse, and listened to his heart. "Have you made your will ?" re asked finally. The man turned pale. "Why, no, doctor. At my age— oh, doe, it :ain't true----" "Who's your lawyer ?"

Among deem is Mrs. Howard Hod- gins, St. Catharines, Ont., who 'says: "I am a user of Baby's Own Tablets and think them the best medicine in the world for little ones." Once e. mother has used the Tablets She will use no other medicine because she feels the Tab- lets are .absolutely safe and knows they never fall to banish all the simple ,ailimente of little ones. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 24410 JR SYSTE1I, Paper HMIs r Were Issued in 1846 By the C.P.R. A souvenir of the early days of the C.P.11,, in :the chapo of one of the original watch dials which the company got out when it introduced 24 o'oloelc time in theWest, is in possession of one of the officials, In 1880 the company determin- ed to introduce the 24-hour. system on the western divisions; and to • give emphasis to the new departure, and, at the same time, help the memory of all opn- c,erned, it issued paper dials with, the whole 24 hours completing the day, which were to be worn on the watches of the employees, to fami- liarize therm with the new method. This setting up of the new time standard was deemed, at the time, a radical innovatioai., calculated to disturb the dull . oo:nservwtiye and timid creatures who dreaded change. A certain sensation was produced at the time; it passed; the business went on its way; the western employees beeaan.e ac- quainted with the new time stand- ard, and accepted it as a matter of comae; but the sight of one, of the old .dial plates, which everybody was showing as a curiosity in 1886, as something which was: going to revolutionize the common life of the people, recalls, the eagerness of the company to arrest the atten- tion, though, of course, the change was advantageous in itself.

I lost color and was easily tired; a yellow pallor, pimples and blotches on my face were not only mortifying to my feelings, but because I thought my skin would never look nice again I grew despondent. Then my appetite failed. I grew very weak. Various remedies, pills, tonics and tablets I tried without permanent benefit. A visit to my sister put into my hands a box of Dr. Hamilton's Pills.

Does music weaken metallic or other bridges? This question re- cently asked of a well-known. bridge builder brought this reply : "Measured vibrations are more trying to any kind of bridges, and particularly to suspension bridges, than Irregular agitation. Music alone would not ,strain. a bridge enough to injure it materially, but a regiment of troops keeping step to music when crossing a, suspen- sion bridge would subject it to a very severe strain, Consequently, it is customary to stop the music before troops reach the bridges, and let the men ~break step, and march more Or less irregularly. "The reason for all this is - ob- vious. The structure naturally will suffer least strain when at rest. When in uniform motion the 'bridge acquires a inomentuni equal to its entire suspended weight multiplied by the velocity of the motion. It is manifest that, in. the case of a heavy structure, a uniform down- ward vibration, be it ever so small, would develop a .momentum of many tons in the direction of a breakini strain. The same disturb- ing forces acting irregularly, so as to counteract one another, would be far less trying to the structure. a The Eleetriquette. More than four hundred d minu- tive electric vehicles are now in use on the exhibition grounds at San Francisco, where they are very popular. Their success' probably means that they will displace the wheeled chairs of the seaside re- sorts.

The drowning of Pharoah and his host in the Red Sea had nothingto do with its name. It takes this from a peculiar reddish color re- marked at certain seasons of the year in parts of this sea, due to marine plants, or to reddish ani- maloulae, called by sailors "whale feed," which float on it like scum; or to the reefs of red coral which abound in many parts of it; or, possibly, to the fact that its upper course was one of the boundaries of Edonm, "the red." No biblical scholar of any repute has ever as- serted that the sea took its name from the overthrow of Pharoah. JUST BEFORE BISMARK FELL. Fourth Generation of Hohenzollern Dancing to His Music. I3ismark's dismissal from efilee, which many have regarded as one of the great - mistakes of the Kaiser's life, seems to have taken the Iron Chancellor by surprise, but he might well have taken warning from a little incident, recorded by Grant Dult which occurred just before his fall. Going to see the .emperor one morn- ing, he was requested to wait, which he did in an antechamber where the little Crown Prince and his brothers were amusing themselves, They wish- ed bilis to dance with .them and on his declaring himself too old, insisted on his playing the piano while they danced, He sat down to the instru- ment and played till the Kaiser en trod. "So," was the royal greeting, "here is the fourth generation of the Hohenzollern which has to dance to your playing!" ore orns e Absolutely Painless.
