When travelling I.aife'6olrv4y,, dont * hustle another, There's plenty of room; on the path- way athway for all; By minding the rule you will not Cause t ,abzoher To slip off the edge and most prob- ably fall, ° rhe crowds that rush past you full of- ten may try you And make you feel yours is a pitiful plight; But stick to this rule as they hurrying pass you, -You'll not go fat' wrozlg if you "Keep to the right" If tempted and tried almost past your endurance To tun from the right to some easier way; If some careless soul seeks to give you assurance That you will succeed if you only will stray; Just think of diose poor souls who listened and heeded And found themselves, soon in a des- perate plight, And point to the warning (you know it is needed), The warning that bids you to "Keep to the right." By minding this rule you will keep out of danger And help other travellers well on . their way; To remorse and regret you will then be a stranger, And joy 'will be yours at the end of each day. You never will find yourself in a dark byway, Forlorn and disheartened and seek- ing for light, If you will give heed to -this rule of Life's highway. And always remember to "Keep to the right" Potash Versus Potassium. As is the case with the two other plant foods, what we know as "potash"' may be guaranteed in at least two different ways, Ninety-four pounds of pure potash (KO) eontaljns 78 pounds of pure potassium (K). Or, putting the case in the reverse, 78 parts of pure potas- sium combines with 16 parts of oxy- gen to form 94 parts of potash. From the above figures anyone can change a statement of potassium to a corresponding statement of potash, ox the reverse. In: the first oase, multiply the figure for potassium by the factor "1. 05. In the second case, multiply th igure representing potash by the ,,-#atitor 0:82. Reniemlber, once again, that there i; no significance in this ehange. Pure potassium never occurs in nature.. Even if it did, it 'could net be used in fertilizer, for it is highly caustic, and burns in contact with water. Equally, wl eve know as potash Is not a artae compound, and cannot be used in fertilizer. The terms "potash" and "potassium" are used simply as rams - tires of value; neither one has advan- tage •ever the other; either could be used. Down in Coal Mine. There is one industry which women have not attempted to invade. It is that of coal -mining, in which not ..a single female person in- tine United Stated is employed. The Republic to the south employs about 600,000 workers in coal mines, who produce each year 600,000,000 tons of coal. Thanks to machinery, the output of coal per man has greatly increased in the last few years. In 1901 it was 729 tons; -last year it was 1,134 tons. In no other country of the world does the average miner produce so great a quantity of coal per diem. Hie daily output is nearly four and a half tons. The chief reason for this lies in the fact that American coal is nearly everywhere more accessible than that ha' other fields. The -average thick- ness of the seams is much greater, and, as a rule, they are nearer the surface. Coal in the United States is not^mined at such depths as in some parts of the Old World. About 85 per cent. of U. S. bitumin- ous coal is taken from seams between three and ten feet thick. Seamy less: than two feet thick do not yield as much as 1 per cent. of the total out- put. Short Cuts in Holland. The Dutch are the greatest people in the world for abbreviations. It seems to be a national trait of the Hol- lander, and not only are the missives between Nevroew and her daughter and Mynheer and his eon liberally sprinkled with the shortening of Dutch as she is spoke, but the a.dver- tisements in the Dutch newspapers are also thriftily abbreviated, so se to eermit of the maximum amount of ex- pression with the minimum of type. Private correspondence, ,fui Weil as business correspondence, in Holland is a network of abbreviation, so much so that a Hollander who has not been in his native land for a good many years, but still retains a knowledge of his mother tongue, is likely to fall by the wayside in reading a lettgp from an old friend from whom, l h haat+•r :u d ,long time..

It is to be anticipated that before many years have elapsed almost,,every farm in the Canadian prairie pro- vinces will havo its silo, The growth of the dairy industry would naturally brlug this condition about in course of time, but the movement is being ex- pedited by the success farmers are having in growing sunflowers. Small fields of . from three to thirty acres have been planted in various parts 'of the three prairie provinces of Canada, The yields are proving morn satisfac- tory than the farmers generally dared to hope, and each acre yields on an average from fifteen to thirty tons of ensilage, Many farmers have erected` silos on their farms during the summer to take care of this crop, but most of them have under -estimated their re- ciuireinent5 and will have more crop, than they can put in their silos. Sunflower silage Is due for a more extensive trial this winter than it has had before,. The' -results in pre- vious years have been very satisfac- tory but only comparatively few farmers have grown the crop for sil- age previous. to this .year. If in its more extensive use the crop proves to be as satisfactory as it has already Proved in a few cases where it has been tried, it is 'safe to, say that in a few years the farm without a silo will- be illbe an exception in Western Canada. Since last year's results have be- come known, considerable interest has been shown in silos and ensilage in Western Canada and `several hun- dred silos have been erected during the past summer. Typical of this movement is the Cardston district in Southern Alberta, where eight silos have been erected this year and where about fifty acres of sunflowers were, planted. The crop has proved so suc- cessful that it is predicted that one hundred silos will be built in the dis- trict next year and mere than a thous- and acres of sunflowers planted. Similar plans are being made in other parts of Western Canada, and the already rapidly growing dairy in dustry promises -to grow much faster with the general acceptance of the sunflower as a silage .crop. Another evidence of the value of sunflowers as a forage crop will be, the big gain In finished steers. Many of the larger liveedeeit raisers are growing sun- ftoweia and erecting silos for this pur- wee, 'hits will be considerably in- creased the finishing areas of Canada, Which, hitherto, have been somewhat !a'e bride<1 Cam rased with the ig xes l feeding areas throughout the country, 'and the livestock industry in•tho West will be placedon a sound basis. • CHILDHOOD AILMENTS. The ailments of childhood—consti pation, indigestion, colic, colds, etc,— can be quickly 11,1;uaished through the use of Baby's Own Tablets. They are a mild but thorough laxative which' instantly regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach. They are guar- anteed to contain no harmful drugs and can be given to the youngest baby with perfect safety. Concerning them Mrs. Alcide Lepage, Ste. l3eatrix,. Que., writes;—"Baby's Own Tablets were of groat help to my baby. They regu- lated her bowels and stomach and made her plump and well." - The Tab- lets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams'' Medicine Coe Brock- ville, Ont, 4 The Internal Secretions. We are giving much study these days' to what are called the internal secretions of various glands. These secretions are not discharged exter- nally, as the. saliva, tears and,perspira- tion are, but are taken up directly by the -blood from the gland where they are formed. They are of vital im- portance in maintaining health and in causing proper development of mind and body. It has long been known that the thyroid secretion in proper amount is necessary to the growth of the body and to mental health. A deficiency of this substance in childhood results in the form of idiocy in dwarfishness known as cretinism; a deficiency in adult life causes myxoedema, a dis- ease that is characterized by mental dullness and by puffiness of the face and hands and other parts of the body. On the other hand; an abnormal in- crease in the, amount of thyroid se- cretion causes rapid heart action, bulging of the eyeballs, and other symptoms that are associated with exophthalmic goitre. The action on growth that arises from the secretion of the pituitary gland is more striking; an excess in childhood accelerates growth; an ex- cess in later .life causes the disease called acromegaly, as a result of which the hands and feet and the bones of the face gradually enlarge. The temperament of a person de. pends, upon the special activity of one or another of the internallyse- creting glands.

RICA, RCD BLOOD -NECESSARY TO HEALTH When the Blood Becomes Weak and Watery a Tonic is Needed to Build it Anew. Why are we being eontinually•told that good, ,health -giving blood must be bright red? What has color to do with the quality? Just this—the oxy- gen in the air is the great supporter of all organic life. One function of the blood is to take the oxygen from the air—which it meets in the lungs and deliver it to the tissues of the body. When the blood, filled with life- sustaining 'oxygen, is sent out by the heart, it is bright red. When it re- turns, impure and deprived of oxygen, it is dark. You will see, therefore, that there are two prime requisites of health, pure air and bright red blood—the pure air 'to furnish the oxygen, the rich red blood to carry it where it is needed. Dr: Williams' Pink Pills make your blood rich and red because they increase its power to carry oxygen, actually making it so much more able tocarry increased life and strength to every organ in the body. Pale, anaemic people whose nerves are on edge, whose cheeks are pale, and,who tire out easily, should try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and note the steady improvement that follows their use. .A. case In paint is that Of Mrs. J. P. Rolston, South River, Ont., who says:—"About two years ago my sys- tem was in a badly run down condi- tion; and I kept growing worse all the time until T could hardly do my housework. 1 had severe headaches, and pains across my back and under my left shoulder. I did not sleep well and would feel just as tired when I got up in the morning as when I went to bed. Life seemed a burden. I had taken doctor's medicine for a long time, but it did not meet my case, at least it did me no good. Then se a result of reading about Dr: Williams' Pink Pills I dedided to try them. When I had taken a couple of boxes I felt much better, and when I had taken five boxes more I felt that I was again a well woman. 1 have not since felt any return of the trouble and I advise ell women who are broken in health' to give Dr. Williams Pink Pills a trial." These pills are sold by all medicine dealers or will be sent by mail, post paid, at 60 cents a box or six boxes' for $2.550, by The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. Four Friends.

An old friend who has stood the test, Has known the worst and known the best, Alike in both forever blessed. Mlinard'a Liniment Relieves Distemper The Victim. •A father, one evening when kis, three small daughters were having too much fun jumping about and playing in their bed, went to the bottom of the stairs and threatened to spank them if they didn't become quiet. The girls remained quiet for •a few minutes, then the fun broke out again. After this performance had been repeated several times the father went i1mtalra to carry out his promise. Without taking the trouble to light, itlamp, the father administered three spankings and went back downstate. Next morning the eldest of the girls complained bitterly. 'I don't see why you spanked me twice," Oho said. "I didn't," the father replied. ` "You' euro- ly did." :.'mow could that happen?"

'rhe smelliest newspaper in the world is now being printed in New York City. Its pages are only about five inches wide and six inches long,. but they contain seort news items that are very easily and quickly' read; Another odd newspaper published in this same city le called The Deaf Mutes' Journal, all of its editors and general staff being members of a deaf and dumb school. However, The. Deaf Mutes' Journal is a real newspaper in size and contains four pages of in- teresting reading. In Germany there Is a newspaper that has nothing init but stories about rheumatism. People having this trouble write in their experiences, doctors tell new ways to get rid of it and it asems that everybody there having rheumatism subscribes to this queer newspaper. ome years ago a Russian editor started a postcard size newspaper, the print of which was so email that he furnished a magnifyin: glass to teach of his regular subacrib era, Somehow the idea didn't take, as he only printed a tete numbers be- fore finding out that the people didn't appreciate the idea, even though the magnifying glass was furniehed free. Greenland hasn't many newspapers of any kind, but the oddest oe there all is a monthly paper called The Kalorikmit. (Did you get your tongue twisted after pronouncing this. name?) The most unusual thing about this paper is that a three months' subscrip- tion costs two ducks, while it requires a sable skin to pay for a year.

Thereupon a large bundle of letters was quickly run through in. vain, and the young lady hesitatingly went away.
