Dr. Frank Crane, in the Woman's World, presents some very timely re- marks to all mothers. Dr. Crane says: In governing your ehildre•.i there is one thing worse than being wrong, and that is being in a hurry. "impatience, if joined to great con- scientiousness, results in tyranny, cruelty and lovelessness. "There is no equipment for child training possible without self-sacrifice. Unless you renounce yourself, your laziness, your stubbornness and your pride, and unless you take up your cross daily you cannot be of service to the children. "it is good to tell your children what is right, that is, pretty good, but man- age so that he himself discerns for him- aelf and by his own experience what is right. "The object of governing children is to develop their moral sense, their judgement, their self-control. It is not to make them toe the mark, and be nice children and not bother mamma. This is why good mothers become great women; for to train children rightly is the very best training in the world for the trainers. "I know of no business harder than that of being a wisemother. Yet with love it becomes easy." In tae last sentence is the whole story. If parents really fail to have that vague something of spirit -love then the train- ing of the child is mere "harness and bit" affair. Above all, mothers, cease to "n;.g ' your children.

Triumphal arch, that fill'st the sky, When storms prepare to part, I ask not proud philosophy To teach me what thou art. Still seem, as to my childhood's sight, A mid -way station given For happy spirits to alight, Betwixt the earth and heaven! Can all that optics teach unfold Thy form to please me so, As when I ureamed of gems and gold Hid in thy radiant bow? When science from creations face Enchantment's veil withdraw, What lovely visions yield their place To cold material laws! And yet, fair bow, no fabling dreams, But words of the Most High, Have told why first thy robe of beams Was woven in the sky. When o'er the green, undelugcd earth, Heaven's covenant thou didst shine, How came the world's gray fathers forth To watch thy sacred sign. And when its yellow luster smiled O'er mountains yet untrod, Each mother held aloft her child To bless the bow of God. Dr. de Van's Female Pills A reliable French regulator; never fails.

Let others write of battles fought, Of bloody, ghastly fields, Where honor greets the man who wins And death the man who yields; But I will write of him who fights, And vanquishes his sins, Who struggles through the weary years Against himself and wins. He is a hero staunch and brave, Who fights an unseen foe, And puts at last beneath his feet, His passion base and low; Who stands erect in manhood's place, Undaunted, undismayed — The bravest man who drew a sword In foray or in raid. It calls for something more than brawn, Or muscle to o'ercome An enemy who marcheth not With banner, plume or drum— A foe forever lurking nigh, With silent, steady tread; Forever near your board by day. At night beside your bed. All honor, then, to that brave heart, Though poor or rich he be, Who struggles with his baser part -- Who conquers and is free! He may not wear a hero's crown, Or fill a hero's grave; But truth will place his name among The bravest of the brave.

The Expert on Fishes Is Still Baffled In Effort to Explain Him. There are few things more aggravat- ing to scientists than to know how thing must take place and yet be un- able to prove it. The eel still baffles the experts on fishes, althon£:h anoth- er chapter in its life history has just been written. In a late report of the great 1lliehael Sans exploration of the depths of the Atlantic, four smallerr and younger stages of the eel young are described and pictured than had ever been seen before. But still no .g. -bearing common eel has yet been netted. and no eel egg has yet been found. The migrations of the eels— or the eelfare, as it is known in Eu- rope—have been known for centuries, but the origin of the eel is yet un- known, though its life history—espe- cially with the new information—is one of the most curious of all sea -and - land creatures. The eel, it rust be pointed out, is thoroughly liberal in his tastes. He will live for years in the abyssal depths of the ocean, and though abys- sal fish rarely come to the upper wa- ter, he will spend the next few years right at the surface of the sea. For a while he will disport himself in the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, then he will strike out for colder eurrents, Later he abandons the open sea and decides to try coastal waters, seeming to enjoy the new experience. Then he turns his attention to fresh water and starts up the rivers, in some cases having already traveled some 3,000 miles. The river attracts him for a while, then the young eel finds still reaches of water or ascends tiny streams and settles in fish -stocked ponds. Nor is the young eel insistent in his demand of water, if the ground is moist and the grass wet, an eel will quite cheerfully make his way over land, and in some places, such as the valley of the Severn, in England, for two or three weeks at a time proces- sions of young eels — millions upon millions — will swarm up the streams and scatter to all the ponds at the river source. After some years spent in these fresh -water ponds the memory —I use the word deliberately—of the salt water seems to come back and, coupled with some aged -old instinct of spawning, the now full-grown eel takes up his journey overland again, reaches the river, swims straight out to sea and is lost to the sight of those who search for him. Where the adult, eels finally go as yet has not been found; but they seem never to come back. The eel, moreover, is as generous to himself in the shapes he uses as in the places where he makes his home. How he begins, one is compelled to repeat, we do not know, and it was not until this last cruise that an eel baby (they call him a Leptocephalus) as small as two inches in length was ever found. He is then absolutely transparent, thin as the thinnest kind of a knife blade, and absolutely color- less except that the iris of the eye is silvery. Apparently he does not feed; or, if lie does, it is in such small quantities and on such microscopic life that growth is extremely slow, finally reaching three inches. Until quite re- cently these transparent, flat fish were thought to be a species by themselves. In the late autumn the young eel changes his shape, becoming more eel - like and actually reducing his length. This is necessary, because during the change he fasts, and after the change is only one-third his former weight. During this period, lasting a year he certainly has taken no food. By this time he is recognizable as a glass - eel, though stEr almost transparent; and when a little darker and stronger, about the size of a knitting needle in girth and 2 1-2 inches long, he starts with millions of comrades on a 3,000. mile swim. But the real eel babyhood is unknown, though almost any day sons° dredge from deepest ocean may reveal the story. Portraits Made of Hair. Portraits made out of single hairs,. each hair being some thirty inches long, can be seen now in ,the estab- lishment of L. P. Federmeyer in Ger- many. His work is considered as real- lv the most remarkable of its kind in the world, and he is becoming known as a genius in his profession. On the walls of his establishment may be seen hanging mottoes and de- signs, and higher up large bust por- traits of world -famed men. You glance at them as you would glance at any picture on entering a home, but when you are told that these pictures were made up entirely of human hairs, without a single line of paint, crayon, or pencil, you are half inclined to doubt the veracity of the proprietor. Comfort In Footwear. An old method of "breaking in" shoes as simple as it is effective, has been adopted by the army after a careful investigation of the best ways and means to that end. After shoes have been fitted, stand in water up to the tops of them until the leather is thoroughly soaked. Then begin a "hike" and continue walking until the shoes are perfectly dry. reolweaS so treated, the soldiers as- sert conforms to every peculiarity of heel, arch and toe and remains com- fortable.

"My nerves were very bad, and I could not sleep at night, nor could I control my arms or legs," writes Mrs. Robt. Bustard, Maxwell, N.B. "Dr. Chase's Nerve Food cured me of what I believe was the early stages of loco- motor ataxia or paralysis. I cannot describe what I suffered, but now I am entirely cured." She Gauges the Fruit. A housewife who has made careful records of the amount of fruit she has used for preserving or jelly -making, keeping at the same time a record of the amount after the canning cooking process, says that five boxes of currants will yield nine glasses of jelly. Seven pounds of peaches will make 15 glasses of marmalade. Four quarts of quinces will make 10 glasses of jelly. Four quarts of crab apples will make 10 glasses of jelly. Six pounds of plums will :Hake five pint jars of preserves. When Blood is Poison. The blood must be filtered, otherwise you are poisoned.

They cure billions. nese, constipation, chronic indigestion and kidney disease. How immigrants Carry Money. One of the queerest sights is to see how different immigrants carry their money. Most English immigrants carry their coin in a small case attached to a chain, which they keep in their pocket as they would a watch. Irishmen always have a little canvas bag, in which notes and coin are cram- med together. Irish girls, on the other hand, gener- ally have their money sewed on the in- side of their dresses. Germans carry their money in a belt arsund their waists, end the belt is usually an elaborate and costly affair, no matter how poor the immigrant may be. The French :mostly carry a small brass tube, in which they can place forty or fifty twenry-franc pieces, which can be removed very rapidly, one at a time. There are few Italians who do not carry a large tin tube in which they keep paper money or silver coins, find this tube is hung around the neck by a small chain or cord. Swedes and Norwegians are sure to have an immense pocketbook, that has generally been used by their fathers and grandfathers before them and which has in it enough leather to make a pair of boots. The Slavonians and Hungarians carry their money in their long boots, to- gether with a knife, fork and spoon. ---I' onward. • • .,, •yam Look for this label on every bag IT means best quality—tested quality—full measure and thorough satisfaction,.
