Many women who had a good color te their girlhood grow pale and color - lees when they become wives and mothers. When the fading color in the cheeks and lips is accompanied by a loss of brightness• In the eyes and an inereasing heaviness in the step, the cause will be found in the state of the blood. Many causes contribute to the con- dition of the blood lmown as anaemia, Overwork in the home, a lack of out- door exercise, insufficient rest and sleep, unproper diet—these are a few of them. The important thing is to restore the blood to normal, to build it up so that the color will return to cheeks and lips, brightness to the eyes and lightness to the step. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills are the great blood builder and nerve strengthener. They begin with the very first dose, and through a fair use make new blood that carries strength and health to every part of the body. The appetite Increases, digestion becomes more perfect and energy and ambition re- turn. The case of Mrs. Wm. McNish, Ala'met Street, Brockville, proves the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in eases cf this kind, Mrr. McNish says: "I was quite young when I married, and in raising my family I became all run down and a nervous wreck, I be- came so weak that I could hardly walk ::cross the floor without sitting down to get my breath. I slept poorly and at times my nerves would twitch so that I could not keep still, and I was in constant misery. I tried many medicines but they did not help me; indeed my condition was growing worse, until one day a friend told me that she had been in a somewhat simi- lar condition and had been helped by Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, so I decided to try this medicine. After the use et a couple of boxes I felt they were helping me. My appetite was better and I slept better, By the time I had used half a dozen boxes I felt like a new woman, my health had fully re- turned and I could do my housework viith ease. In view of what Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills have done for me I cannot recommend them too highly,' The best time to begin taking Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills is the moment ycu feel the least bit out of sorts. The sooner you do so the sooner you will regain your old time energy. You can I r get these pills through any medicine c dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or rix boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- 3hitt ,, Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Curious Throne. A massive chair made of copper, which natives believe was given by the late Queen Victoria to an Ashanti eh'eftain and used by him as his throne, has been discovered in the midst of a jungle far from human habitation in the Gold Coast Colony, West Africa, According to native le- gend it was placed over the grave of the chieftain who had occupied it when alive. The natives believe, according to a despatch to The London Graphic, that the chieftain still sits upon his old throne in spirit at certain times, and for this reason they have never tried to move the chair which, they declare, has now rooted itself in the ground. A Gold Coast surveyor first stumb- led across this curiosity. A search party returned to the spot and found the jungle so dense that the natives had to hack a path with cutlasses through the undergrowth. Canada's so-called Barren Lands, reaching to the Arctic, are estimated to have 30 million caribou. THE ROMANCE OF LLOYD'S COMPANY A COFFEE-HOUSE KEEL ER'S IDEA. Insure Ships That: Sail on Every Sea, and Many OtherThings as Well, ".A1 at Lloyd's." This' is a common phrase, yet many people do not realize ite real significauce and application, says a London magazine. It stands for British honesty and as - curacy in the shipping world. If you tell a Frenchman, a Spaniard, a German, or an Eskimo that a ship is "A1 at Lloyd's," he. knows that he can treat it as such, because '"Lloyd's' Re- gister" is never wrong. The ships built in all parts of the world are examined and classified by Lloyd's surveyors, and all particulars are entered in the Register. Thus underwriters, when. they are called up- on to insure a vessel, may obtain pre- cise information as to its state and re- cord. Furthermore, in order to provide un- derwriters with information con•cern- ing the doings of ships, Lloyd's pub- lish every day a shipping newspaper, the "Shipping and Mercantile Gazette." This is printed in the basement of the Royal Exchange, and information is collected and cabled by thousands of agents throughout the world. The insurance of Shipping. The "Gazette," which with the ex- ception of the "Loudon Gazette," is the oldest existing London newspaper, was started towards the end of the seventeenth century by a certain. Ed- ward LIoyd, at whose coffee-house in Lombard Street merchants and others used to meet to arrange marine insur- ances, These covered all sorts of con- tingencies, but gradually the insur- ance of shipping became the chief business of the frequenters of Lloyd's. Lloyd was an energetic man. In or- der to develop the operations of his customers, he produced, in 1696, a daily newspaper called "Lloyd's News," which contained information concerning the movements of ships. For a while the paper was suspend- ed, through Lloyd publishing a re- ference to the proceedings of Parlia- ment, which he refused to withdraw, it eing illegal at that time to make any uch reference.. It resumed publica- ion in 1726, when Lloyd,. or at any ate the then proprietor of Lloyd's offee-house, started it -again under she name of "Lloyd's List." After a ime Lloyd's moved to the Royal Ex- change, where it still carries on the underwriting part of its business.. Lloyd's underwriters, by the way, not only insure the ships that sail on every sea, but all sorts of other things as well. They will insure you against twins, they will insure you against fire, and even against a change of Govern- ment.

He ,is merely the principal character in a story, like Rip Van Winkle. The story is certainly of very ancient origin. In its most commonly accepted form, it is that Jesus, weary of carrying. the cross, sought to rest for a marnent on the doorstep of a shoemaker named Ahasuerus, who told. to "get on, and be quick about it. Te which the Saviour replied: "I shall soon be at rest, but you will wander until I comae again." Ever since then Ahasuerus has been doomed to wander ever the earth; and, strange to say, he seems to have turn- ed up now and again, at long intervals of time. Dr. Paul von Eitzen, Bishop of Schleswig, met and talked with him in the year 1547. He told his story to the bishop, who described his as very tail, barefoot, withan astonishingly long beard, and hair hanging over his shoulders. He was seen in 1575 in Madrid and again in Paris in 1604. In 1640 he turned up in Brussels—an aged and tattered Irian, who accepted food, but refused to sit down and eat—and in Leipsic two years later. The description of his appearance Is invariably the same. He tells his story to somebody, passes on and dis- appears. The last occasion on which he was seen was in England, nearly two cen- turies ago, Many people talked with him, and he gave an account of the Crucifixion, speaking as an eye- witness. He told anecdotes of the Apostles, some of whom 'be professed to have personally known. He spoke many languages, with all of which he seemed equally familiar. Then, sud- denly, he vanished, and nothing more was heard of him.

Trade with America was rapidly in, and the popular outcry' against these wretched old ships be- came so strong that the British Gov- ernment was forced to take some steps towards improment. In October, 1888, tenders were invited to convey the American mails by steam vessels. Circulars were distributed broad- cast and by chance one found its way into' the hands of Samuel Cunard., a merchant of Halifax, Nova Scotia. As early as 1830, Mr. Cunard had begun to agitate for a trans-Atlantic steam service, and in 1833 had actual- ly become director of a company form- ed for this purpose. This company purchased the Royal William, a steam- er built by James Goudie, at Quebec, and meant for the Quebec and Halifax Steam Navigation Company, She was a vessel of 830 tons, with engines of 10 horse -power, and was the first ship to cross the Atlantic from west to east under steam. Leaving Quebec on August 4th, 1383, she arrived quite safely at Gravesend on September llth. A Doubtful Honor. Tho venture, however, was not a success from a commercial point of view, and the Royal William was eventually sold to the Spanish Govern- ment, who used her as a warship. As such, she had the doubtful honor of being the first steam vessel to fire a gun in war. To return to Mr. Cunard, after read- ing the offer of the British_ Govern- ment, he went all round Halifax en- deavoring to raise money to start the new line. But steamers in those days were looked upon very much as dirigibles are now. It was granted that they could steam, but it was con- sidered impossible that they could pay. No one would put up a penny, so Mr. Cunard left Halifax and sailed for Landon. For days he visited various firms and financiers, but without the slightest success. However, Samuel Cunard, in spite oil his fifty-one yearn, was not the sort to be daunted. He found himself in pos- session of a letter of introduction from the secretary of the East India Com- pany to Mr. Robert Napier, then the foremost steamship builder on the Clyde. A Government Contract. Mr. Napier received the Canadian visitor cordially, and introduced him to Mr. John Burns, of Glasgow, who was, already running coast reamers. Burns was interested at once, and in his turn introduced Cunard to his part- ner, David Maclver, a Liverpool man. Burns and MacIver listened to Cunard's scheme, and promptly agreed to back him for all they were worth. Within a few weeks $1,350,000 was raised, and a tender put in for the mail contract: The Government accepted the Cun- ard tender, a seven years' contract was, signed, and it was stipulated 'that four steamers, should be built and that the payment should be $405,000 a year. The steamers were ready within, two years. In the "Liverpool Mercury" of July 3rd, 1840, appeared the following ad- vertisement: "The S,8. Britannia will sail for Boston on •the 4th July next. Passage,including provisions and wine, thirty-eight guineas. Steward's fee one guinea," The Britannia, was a wooden paddle steamer of twelve hundred tons bur- den. To -day we should call her a mid- get. Eighty years ago she and her three stout little sisters, the Acadia, Columbia, and Caledonia, were the finest steam vessels afloat, The Britannia's first trip to Boston was made in fourteen and a half days. The service worked as regularly ats clock -work, and this at a time when other lines were losing ships and. suf- fering all kinds of disasters, The early steamers • were all driven by paddler, and it was, not until more than twenty years later, in 1862, that the last of the Cunard's paddle steam- ers, the Scotia, was Iaun,ched. She was) of nearly four thousand tons, and built of iron. She could steam thir- teen knots against the Britannia's eight and a half, and: Cut the crossing to less than nine days. The Scotia was -followed by the China, the first of the screw -propelled Cumtardero. She, of course, had only one 'screw. It wax not until the year 1900 that the twin screw was introduced in. the Ixernia and Saxonia, fine' vesseie each of four- teen thousand tone. The first all -steel ship was the Sarnia, •a tin -thousand - ton ship built in 1882, which was cap- able of steaming seventeen knots.

If the Aquitania were placed across, the river alongside the bridge, her stern would be on one bank and her bow on the other. Just This Minute.

Mothers, if your little ones are cross and peevish and cry a great deal they are not well— they are in need of medicine --some- thing that will set their bowels and stomach. in order, for nine -tenths of all childhood ailments arise from a disordered state of the bowels and stomach. Such a medicine is Baby's Own Tablets. They are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach, and thus drive out constipation, colic, indiges- tion; break up colds and simple fevers and make the baby healthy and happy. Concerning them, Mrs. Albert Hamel, Pierreville, Que., writes:—"Baby's Own Tablets are the best medicine I knew of for little aneV They relieved my little girl from constipation when nothing else would and I can strongly recommend them to other mothers." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 centsa box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Get the crass together as early as possible, while the light is good. (2) Group them facing the sun, but if possible make your exposure while the sun is thinly veiled in cloud, so fes to have a strong diffused light and no hard shadows. (3) If in direct sunlight, hats which throw a heavy shadow on the face should be removed, (4) Under trees, faces are often mottled by leaf shadows. Look out for this. (5) Don't let your own shadow spoil the foreground. (6) Advance the ends of a group so that all are equidistant from the cam- era. -(7) Water makes a good foreground. but a bad background. _ (8) Before pressing the bulb for a snap, say something to make the class smile.
