Fifty Years ago there was not. a Press -cutting agenoy`in the world. To- day there are several hundreds. There :are fifty or more in. Great Britain . and more than that in the United States. In these two countries along some fifty thousand' .person are employed in the business, while the capital in- vested is upwards of $50,000,000, Every capital city in the world has an agency of the kind, You find them not only in London, Paris, and New. York, but in Rio, Buenos Ayres, Mel bourne, Johannesburg, and Yokohaana. Their customers are numbered by tens of thousands. Practically every man who holds any public poeltion subscribes. AU public companies, es- pecially railway and shipping cone- ponies onIpanies are subscribers. Every Royalty has albums full of Press -cuttings, while, naturally, actors, authors, and artists,- and all those .belonging to similar professions are strong supporta ers of the agencies. Probably there is not one man or woman who has ever published a book or written a signed article for a pert-, odica.l, who has not pasted up a collet!. tion of criticisms from the Press. Patronized By Everybody. 'Your dramatist gets more notices than any other writer, and is naturally greedy to lrnow what the critics think of his work, and the bill he pays to his agency may amount to twenty or twenty-five dollars a week, or even more. Prize-fighters and politicians are equally good customers of the Press - clipper. Journalists or authors who are work- Ing orkIng on some special subject find 'the Press -clippings invaluable. They or- der from several different bureaux at once everything that may be appear- ing in the World's Press on this par- ticular subject, and so obtain informa- tion whitii could not be obtained in any other way. Some agencies make a specialty of this sort of thing --that is, supplying information; others go in for per. sonal atters, others again for griti- cismMome include all binds of work. ;the papers which get most heavily pod are the Society journals, bclety women are greedy to collect �ery p arag raph in whic h their names pear, and,mora particularly, phots; graphs and pictures reproducing their features. There is one agency which confines itself to scientific and medical -jour- nals. Its clients are mainly doctors and scientists, and some of them are uncommonly good customers. The late King Edward not only sub- scribed to two Press -cutting agencies, but sometimes himself eliprped tures of his royal features appearing in the public prints lois sense of humor protected him against annoy- ance, and caricaturesof himself mere- ly made him laugh. It is interesting to note that the or- dered cuttings from American as well as British sources. For Official Use. The best of royal patrons of the Press -cutters was not, as might be. supposed, the ex -Kaiser, but the late Czar of Russia. He had a rove of volumes of clippings in all European languages. A secretary was kept al- ways busy pasting these up. Mr. W. T. Stead, the late editor of "Review of Reviews," is believed to have possessed more Press -cuttings than any other man in England, They are said to have suggested to him the `,•plan of "Review of Reviews." Even Government departments do not despise the Press -cuttings. There is at Whitehall a gigantic collection of such cuttings relating to the late war, while the official history of the Spanish-American War was largely compiled from current newspapers. Any of the first-class agencies em- ploy from fifty to a hundred clerks, and send out from fifty to one hundred thousand cuttings weekly. The aver- age price is five dollars a hundred clippings, and to their credit it should be mentioned that Press -clipping agen- cies have not tuxned profiteers or in- creased'their prices so greatly as have most other businesses. we Gave it Away.

A badly chosen diet may re- tard recovery, In health the natural appetite is the best guide tofollow; In. sickness the appetite is often fickle and: depraved, Proper food and a good tonic will keep most people in good health. Dr. `Williams' Pink Pills are the most popular tonic medicine in -the world, harmless and certain in their action, which is to build up the blood and re- store the vitality to the run-down sys- tem, For growing girls who become thin and pale, for pale, tired women, and for old people Who fail in strength -Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an ideal topic. Thousands of people • have testified to the health -giving qualities of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and in many homes they are the only meal - eine used. Among the homes in which the benefit of this medicine has been proved is that of Mr, E, A. Un- derwood, Kingston, Ont„ who says:— "I have used. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills with the most beneficial results. As the result of hard work I was very muck run down, and My appetite was very poor. I got a supply of the pills which I used regularly for some weeks with the result that they restored me to •my old time strength, They also proved a blessing to my daughter, who was in a very anaemic condition, and who seemed not to get more than temporary relief from any medicine until she took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She took the pills for about three months, and is now enjoying the best of health. For these reasons I can strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." At the first sign that the blood 10 out of order take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and note the speedy improve- ment they make 'in the appetite, health and spirits. You. can get these pills through any dealer in -medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six'', boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. l2Villiams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Grow Tall in Bed. How many people aro aware that we are shorter when standing than when lying, and taller in the morning than in the evening? An Englishman was the first to dis- cover this, but afterwards Dr. Maraud of the Royal Academy of France.made several experiments to prove the theory. He found after a year's trial that usually in the sight he gained al- most three-eighths of an inch., and lost almost asmuch during the day. The cause of. this is to be found in the cartilages . which go to make up the spine. The joints of this part of our bodies are separated and yet jollied be par- ticular bony substttncem every olio f P,' �, 1 .• Iut?,,c, wr i I is r v ta.i 14.tcf' i x h C i has tt sp itig- are capable of elei lieg on all sitirre without bencliutg the backbone or spine itself.

At night tube, when we lie down in a more or less horizontal position, these top parts do not weigh so belly!. ly, and the springy nuscloa being ex- panded, our spines consequentlybe- come longer Another proof of this is to be found in the increase of height sometimes experienced by invalids who have Spent a long time in bed; and also in the tact that the more rest a young Child has the taller he will grow. A Goad Defence. ' The case looked black against the prisoner, who was charged with loiter- ing suspiciously at the railway sta- tion. Presently the magistrate said stern- ly: - "This Iady says you tried to speak to her at the railway station." "It was a mistake," pleaded the man in the dock. "I was looking for my wife's young niece, whom I've never seen, but who'd been described to me as a handsome young lady, withgolden hair, well -cut features, fine comple- xion, perfect figure, beautifully dress. ed, and--" With a charming blush, the..princi- pal witness against him interrupted his flow of eloquence. ; ., "I don't wish to prosecute the gen- tleman, sir," she said to the magis- trate. "Any one might have made the same mistake." --ete FOR THE BABY The baby of to -day is the man or woman of to -morrow. Thus the suc- cess of the future man or woman de- pends upon the baby's present wel- fare. If the baby is sickly and i11 nourished it is not to be expected that he will grow into a strong, active man who will hold his own iai the business world a few years hence. Mothers, it is a duty you owe the' future to keep your little ones well now. 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 sweet- en the stomach and thus make baby healthy and strong. Concerning -them Mrs. W. Orser, Elginburg, Ont., writes:—"I have a fine healthy "boy three years and'have used Baby's; Own Tablets for him ever since he was a small baby. I certainly think them a splendid medicine."

Details Dante through authoritative channels that during his battalion's attaoit Robertson's platoon was held up by uucut wire two him. dred yards from .tlie Altai objective. Our guns were still busy cutting a way through the wire when a German ma- chine gun opened fire and inflicted very Heavy hisses on the Canadians. Robertson, without waiting for orders and entirely on his own initiative, rushed towards the 'German gun, defy. ing the machine gun's withering fire. Moreover, our artillery barrage was so intense that death seemed almost certain. Working his way to the flank, he eventually found an opening in the wire, got through and crawled until the end of the eniptacetnent was reached. Rising suddenly to his feet he charged down on the astonished Germans, and killed four of the gun crew before they could recover from their surprise. -The remainder Sed in terror, but their flight was soon cut short when Robertson seized the abandoned gun, screwed it around and poured a hail of bullets upon the backs of the fast disappearing enemy. Several of them fell victims to their own weapon , and others were caught by our sheds. When the remainder of the platoon arrived Robertson was still firing the captured gun. It was entirely due to leis heroic action that the whole line was enabled to advance and capture the final objective. Rob• ertson went forward with the first wave, taking a gun with him. He used it very effectively to keep down the fire of German machine guns and snipers, while his platoon consols dated the new' position. Later in the day, when two of our snipers who ventured in front of our lines were wounded, Robertson volunteered to bring them ise. He went into the open, although exposed to a heavy enemy fire, lifted one man on his back and carried him safely to the trench and immediately returned to the second man, staggering back with his un- conscious burden' while the bullets whistled around him. But as if cruel fate were awaiting until the last pos- sible moment to overtake him, he was killed on the very parapet of the trench, his . mission almost accomp- lished. His slilendidly heroic end, 11*e his dashing work done earlier in the day, had a most inspiring effect. Wise Men Say That many martyrs are self-made. That friendship rings truest in ad- versity.

Is it possible that the latest scien- tific discovery may bring a return of the Egyptian 'plagues or the Black Death—the most terrible epidemics in the history of the world? The question arises from the an- nouncement of Dr. Galippo, of the French Academy of Science, that in Egyptian papyrus (manuscripts) twen- ty centuries and more old, he has found living micro-organisms. He cites this as the most remarkable dis- covery to which. his investigations have led, although it is equally true of documents dating back, for instance, to the Middle Ages, Modern hygenic Conditions, of course, are vastly different to those of the early Egyptian days or Middle Ages, but there is a possibility that those germs of centuries ago knight convey the old. plagues, For they are very much alive! The: microbes discovhred by Dr. Galippo were subjected to the usual test of heat and although the 'temperature was carried to 248 degrees lealu'eh- heft, they luopped about like two-year- olds wo t etur.olds in spite of their 2,000 years.

The author of "Ajax" is the oldest writer, and he is unique in his degree of longevity. The next in point a age is Thomas Carlyle, the author of "Sar - tor Resartus" and "The French Re. volution," and otb.er works of noble conception, undoubted brilliance, and lofty aspirations. He died at the age of eighty-six. Jeremy Bentham, whose disciple was John Stuart Mill, and who is the auth- or of works of Government, "The Principles of Morals and Politics," and other lucid expositions of the Utili- tarian system, underlived Carlyle by one year: while Voltaire, whose "Philosophical Letters" and "Diss courses on Man" make his name to live, died at the age of eighty-four. .�6 Reinard's Liniment Cu:•ea Garret flu Cowa.

Hospital records show that every time you cut a corn you invite lock- jaw or blood poison, which is needless, says a Cincinnati authorety, who tells you that a quarter ounce 01 a drug sailed freezene can be obtained at lit- tle cost from the drug store but is slit flcient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus. You simply apply a few drops of freezone on a tender, aching corn and soreness is instantly relieved. Short• ly the entire corn can be lifted out, root and ail, without pain. This drug is sticky but dries at once and is claimed to just shrivel up any corn without inflaming or even irri- tating the surrounding tissue or skin. If your wife wears high heels she will be glad to know of this. OH!
