How 50,000 or more Armenhtn and Syrian children, stolen by Turks and Kurds and sold into harems or Arab eneampments, are being rescued from p'ivity and worse Ulrouelt the of forts of the Near East Relief, now that the Near East is under allied rule, is told by the Rev. E. 0. Jago, who has just returned from western Asia. "It is no uncommon sight in Aleppo, Syria," says Mr, Jago, "to see scores of children brought in by the searching parties, The, children are all dirty, i'aggd and starving; and many of them have been tattooed by their Arab mas- ters. "Broken hearted mothers and sis- ters pace up and down the line of the rescued hoping to see their son or daughter or brother, stolen three or four years ago. Many times there are happy reunions, but. often the quest is In vain, and broken hearted mothers seem to despair of ever seeing their loved ones again." Bhitish Recover Children. An important feature of Mr. Sago's work since the country was rescued from the fanatical domination of the Turks Inas been the recovery of these stolen children. From parents and friends all information possible about the missing ones was obtained and this was sifted down and turned over to the British commandant of the district, who, in every instance where the in- formation was definite, has succeeded in recovering the stolen children. Among the rescued are many young girls whose fate in the harems has been too terrible to describe.

The Wrong Lizzie. "Queen Elizabeth will be our sub- ject for to -night," announced the class master in the evening school to the body of young men gathered there. "Elizabeth!" mused Jack Case, sit- ting in the top corner of the class near the window. "Now, I used not to like the name of Elizabeth; hut, of course, that was before I knew Lizzie. "She thinks it best that I should Dome to this night -school, although I don't know how she thinks that sitting here listening to Queen Elizabeth's history is going to make me a better clerk, Still, she's the dearest little girl in the world, and on a fine night like this*" And he gazed sentimentally at a he saw twinkling through the w low. As something far distant he heard the master drone. Suddenly, however, his meditations were rudely interrupted by the teacher, who had noticed his apt, starlgazing attitude. "And how old was Elizabeth, Mr. Case?" he rapped out, "Eighteen last birthday!" stumbled Jack, quickly pulling himself together. Then the class sniggered, a. The Dreamer.

Few people would blame a sculptor without hands for giving up his work; but Hennequin-Reveur believed that if God had given him a great and very original gift as a sculptor, He meant him to use it, and he set himself at once to make the best of it. His toes, he believed, could be trained to mix his clay, and he began to practice with them. His mouth and nose, he decided, must manipulate his tools, and with a determination truly heroic he began to train them also. Later, he learned of an electric contrivance that—when It would work, which was not always—helped him to use his fingers. He then set up his studio and - began his old work of modeling. When the artists of Alsace-Lorraine began an exhibition of their work in London last April, a number of strik- ing and very original figures by Henne- quin-Reveur, modeled by toes, nose' and mouth, were prominent among the exhibits. The critics pronounced them` only slightly less well done than his former work; and they added that they saw no reason why he cannot entirely regain his skill by such indomitable pluck and bravery, Rich coal seams, estimated to con- tain 5,000,000 tons of coal to the square mile on the surface, have been located in Spitzbergen by a Scottish expedition under Dr. W.

Miss John- ston says:—"For a long time I was a severe sufferer from nervous troubles, with the result that I grew very pale and weak. Medical treatment did not help me, and various- medicines had no beneficial effect, until finally a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I began their use and took the pills regularly for several months, with the result that I not only gained in weight, but have recovered my full health and strength. I cannot praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills too highly for what they have done for me." To build up the blood' there is one remedy that has been a household word for a generation, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, They tone up the entire system, make the blood rich and reel, strengthen the nerves, increase the appetite, put color in the cheeks and lips and drive away that unnatural, tired feeling.

As a consequence, she had no sooner come to anchor than she was boarded by an indignant wharfmaster, who for- bade any man to set foot ashore until the mistake had been rectified. He was induced, however, to allow an of- ficer to be sent to the castle with an explanation. "The salute was not fired," the mes- sage ran, "because we had on board an elephant from Madras.

This can be easily done if Baby's Own Tablets are kept in the house. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus make baby healthy and strong. Concerning them Mrs. W. Orser, Elginburg, Ont., writes:— gun p most honorable directors, fearing lest the elephant might be alarmed or angered and break loose and do much damage. "But it is to no oversight or lack of courtesy, but to this beast only, that the silence of our ship Is due; where- fore we have confidence that the direc- tors will accept our excuses, in con- sideration of our elephant.' The excuse was duly accepted, al- though there were suspicious Dutch- men who thought the elephant himself an excuse and doubted his actual existence.
