The''entry of that tall, handsome young man, the Hon. Esmond Harms- worth, into the Rouse of Commons at the age of twenty-one—as what 1 might perhaps call the Baby of the Mother of Parliaments ---reminds me of the large part which fresh youth has played at Westminster,says a Parliamentary correspondent. It was young Benjamin Disraeli, af- terwards our great Prime Minister, who, when little more than a lad, stood up in a striking costume of vari- ous colors, and in reply to rollicking, contemptuous shouts, cried, "One day you will listen to mei" They did. The greatest and most polished ora- tor of recent times in Parliament, Lord Roseberry, seconded the reply to the Speech from the Tbrono at, the age of twnty. three. Sir Robert Peel, like Mr. Esmond Harmsworth, began. his career at twenty-one; Pitt was 11 Prime Minister in leis early twen- II ties; Charles, the second Earl Grey, ! was returned for Northumberland at twenty-two; the younger Pitt reached St. Stephen's when twenty-three; and the great Gladstone, again and again Prime Minister, also entered the House at twenty-three. Lord Byron made his first speech in the House of Lords at twenty-four; Lord Burnham, then Mr, Harry Lawson, entered Parlia- ment at twenty-three, Rising Youths of the Present. Mr. Oswald Mosley, one of the pre- sent babies of the House, only a couple of months older, I think, than. Mr. Es- mond Harmsworth, has already let the Centre Party have a piece of his mind. I understand that he has with- drawn from them because he thinks they ought to have a policy before having a party, instead of having a party and then looking round and wondering what is their policy. Colonel Malone has become quite a figure at twenty-eight—a chairman of a bench of magistrates, and M.P. And he has been Per to Russia, all among the 1 1301;' fists, and is understood to have toured' part of Russia with Trotsky Lenin, or their Ministers, to get heir minds. AND RUN DOWN? to This Condition Only a Tonic Medicine Can Renew Your Health. The condition, of being "run down" is one that doctors do not recognize. as a disease, The physician of to -day who gets his training in a hospital where only severe disorders are en- countered knows little about it, But those who are run dawn in health know that it is not a fancied affliction. The expression "run down" applied to health, means a condition in which all the bodily functions are enfeebled. Appetite •fails, the digestion is im- paired, the nerves are impoverished, the complexion becomes pale or waxy, there is no animation, but rather worry and mental depression. Fatigue is a constant symptom. No particular orgau being affected, you must look for relief to the blood. As it circulates through every part of the body,• any improvement in the condition of the blood is quickly felt throughqut the. entire system. As a restorer of the blood and builder of weak nerves Dr. Williams' Pink Pills stand at the head of all tonic medicines. Every dose of these pills helps to enrich the blood and strengthen the nerves, and thus the various organs regain their tone and the body recovers its full vigor, Ample proof of this is given in the statement of Mr, William Devine, Ger- rard Street East, Toronto, who says: '!Two years ago while employed as a conductor on the Toronto Street Rail- way, I became much run. down. I consulted a doctor who gave me medi- cine, but it proved fruitless, as I was constantly growing weaker. My ap- petite completely failed and I fell away in weight until I only weighed 126 pounds. 4 was sometimes taken with fainting spells, and finally felt. compelled to resign my position. I tried, what I thought was lighter work, but with no better results. I was growing weaker and weaker. One day a chum urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but by' this time I was - heartily tired of medicine, as nothing I had taken did me any good. Finally he bought me a box of the pills, and I could no longer refuse to" try them. After a time I felt they were helping me and then I gladly continued their use, with the result that I was finally enabled to go back to my old position fully restored to bealth. I owe this splendid condition to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and can strongly 'recom- mend them to anyone suffering as I did," Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be ob- tained through any medicine dealer, or may be had by mail, post paid, at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60 from -the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. er all, age Is a comparative thing. I ,-.chaps those of tweet • -ne—the .err `yottugest now permitted to outer Par- liainent---would be loolcr:i upon as evetera.ne of ripe wisdom and solid ex -1 perience by the boys who, in some cases, got into Parliament long ago. We find that in the reign of James the First about forty gentlemen not above twenty years old got into Parliament, and some not exceed:ng sixteen years of age were elected. The poet Waller sat in Parliament in 1622 before he was seventeen. It was only in the reign of William the Third that a law was passed making void the election of any person under twenty-one. This was not always adhered to after- wards. Charles James Fox was elect- ed in his own absence as a boy of nine- teen, and he spoke when just over twenty. Not only did he speak, but the boy actually tried a fall with Burke! The Waspish Welshman. We have something of a parallel to this at the present day. Some years ago the very name of Joseph Chem- ' beriain almost made the House of Commons shudder. He was the mighty man there, and his powerful personality seemed to dominate the House. _What a terrific thing it would+ feer,,be to tackle the Parliamentary giant! Somewhere away on a hack bench, among a lot of obscurities, there was a young• fellow, one of the youths of the House, who had entered it at the age of twenty-seven, and he tackled Chamberlain. This back bench young fellow was a daring spirit, fon of a fierce scene, ready for a row. He was a rather spare -built young man, with ample, unruly hair and shining eyes, and speech full of Celtic imagery and swinging gestures. It is said that this young back -bencher was the only Member of the House who was able to make the great Joseph Chamberlain really angry. He stung him. He asked annoying questions. He seemed, figuratively, to Clash up and throw a dart at the giant; and then run to his corner and laugh. Looking round the House, as a man searching for the one he ivae .to tackle, this &rwaspish young debater tackled the -fliggest, As time went on this agile back -bencher began to be palled a de-' nlagogue, "a waspish Welshman," and liplittle Welsh attorney."He is now jPrime Minister! The chance of the very young men is Coming. The days of the Coalition are numbered. Before long there will be parties again and party fights. It is in the party fights, above all, that youth gete its real ehatTee to flesh its maiden sword. Winter Fire Protection. Winter fires in barns, stables or out- houses are usually 'caused by the knocking over or explosion of kero-. Bene lamps or lanterns. Keep a few pails of dry sand on hand. Dry sand will not freeze, In the incipient stages of an oil tire, sand will smoth- er, whereas water will spread it, Damascus. This is the gray old city that passes not away, Wherein the long unchanging years are but ea yesterday; City of silk and roses, rich with her ancient° bloom, Becalmed through whelming .life -tidos,. untouched in waves of doom. Great Babylon has vanished, with all her pomp and grace; And Zion's temple, like the wind, has passed and left no trace; The stately gods of Egypt have mused their hour away; The morning harp of Memnon has sung its final day; Her childhood's mighty sisters lie buried still and deep, The drifted dust et ages • is blown about their sleep; But nested in her desert, where bar- ren hills look down, Damascus of the roses yet wears her faded crown, But now the desert's children with flying robes have come, And with them march the strong ranks, with cry of fife and drum: The boys of France and Britain; armed with the new world's power, Waking the gray old city to great the changing hour. Their wings have hummed in triumph above her dusky ways., Their songs of victory have pierced the long dream of her days; And, till the falling of earth's star shall break .the life of men, The great deep -hearted rose of her has risen to bloom again. Fairy Baskets. 'Fairy baskets are made of large hazel nuts, filberts .or peach pits. Fil- berts must be soaked in hot water for several hours; hazel nuts and peach pits may be used green. With a sharp, fine pointed penknife bore through the filbert or hazel nut on each side in the light colored upper third, cut away the shell carefully around the hole so as to leave a handle between the in- cisions, dig out the meat that is inside, then cut very tiny notches in the low- ' er edge. If you use peach pits trine off the sharp point, then bore and cut out the shell and trim the stalk end smooth. These baskets are a never failing. pleasure to both children and grown- ups. One use to which you can put the. fairy baskets is loop a dozen or more upon a strand of silk floss, 1fi1l each one with earth and supply it with a single fine grass seed, then hang them ea a -stainer' window and keep, then moist. Feed'plenty of charcoal. It is need- ed to keep the hens healthy. In Russia an unmarried woman re - main's under the absolute sway of her parents until her death, regardless., of her age.

After. weary months of waiting, ehe newly -married couple had at last got a house, and with, joyful hearts were setting things straight. At length John came across a little picture of which he was very fond, but which was too small to hang from the picture -rail. So he got a nail, and hammered it firmly into the wall, A few moments later there was a loud knock at the front door. "Oh, John dear," whispered the bride anxiously, as she peeped through the window, "it's the man from next door-' I'm afraid your hammering has disturbed him." John hastened to greet the visitor, and began to apologize. "That's all right," said the neighbor heartily. "I don't retnd the noise a 'bit. I've only come to ask if you'd Mind 'me- hanging a picture on the other end of the nail!" Minard's Liniment Co., Limited.

A Bit of News for the Old Folks. A Rensington.boy of seven, who was sent to a boarding school, according to a London paper, was instructed by his parents to write long letters to them, with all the news about himself, the school and his companions. His let- ters, however, proved to be note - 'worthy for brevity and for a finely lm - personal touch. Among others he sent the following: "My Dear Father and Mother. Do you know that salt is made of two deadly poisons? "Your loving son, John." Walking Snakes. It is supposed that the early ances- tors of modern snakes walked on four legs. Some big serpents, such as the boas, even now have rudimentary hind. legs, But the "feet" on which all snakes do .their walking to -day are the carti- laginous extremities of their ribs. To preserve these is the greatest diffi- culty lit the preparation of an ophidian skeleton, WELL SATISFIED WITH BABY'S OWN TABLETS Mrs. A.

This suicidal habit may cause lockjaw and women are warned to stop It. A few drops of a drug called freez- one applied directly upon a sore corn gives quick relief and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out without pain. Ask the drug store man for a quarter of an ounce of freezone, which costs very little but is sufficient to re- move every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. This drug is an ether compound and dries in a moment and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin.
