Sometimes a false cieoving for food arises; if this is eatiefied the re- sult is additional torture -flatulence, ilrowey depression, sick headache and nausea are eommon signof indi- gestion. The foolish practice of tak- ing drastic, weakening purgatives at euch times should 1c avoided. IndigCs- io arises from stomach weakness and the only effecteal method of cur- ing the trouble is to strengthen the feeble organs of digestion by supply- ing them with richer, purer blood. Tilts is the true tonic treatment by which natural method, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills achieve great results. These pills make tne rich, rest blood needed to strengthen the stomach, thus im- parting a healthy appetite and curing Inceigeetion and other stomach -disor- ders. Mr. Thomas Johnson, Hemford, N. S., says: "For five years I was a great sufferer front indigestion which wrecked me physically. I suffered so much that for days at a time I could not attend to my business, I had smothering spells so bad at times that 1 was afraid to lie down. I doctored and tried many medicines, but with no benefit. I saw Dr. WiManes' Pink Pills advertised to cure the trouble and decided to try them. I had not been taking them long before I found that I had at last hit mien the right medicine. This improvement in Pie health was constant, and after I had used ten or twelve boxes I could eat and digest all kinds of food, and I felt physically better than I had done for years. I shall never cease to praise Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for they proved a real blessing to me." You can get these pills from anY dealer in medicine or by mail at 5( cents a box or 6 boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. 'Williams' Medicine Co.,Brock. villa, Ont.

Tee indictment charges conspiracy to defraud the Government through tlie. filing at i he Customs House of false records, "e)se clearances of ves- sels and false tnanifest of cargo, The indictments charge that the conspiracy was continued until Feb. 25 last and was formed by the defend- ants with others "to unlawfully, cor- ruptly, wilfully and feloniously de- fraud the United States" by tharter- ing steamships falsely cleared from ports iri the United States with the in- tent of having the vessels, by direc- tion of super -cargo pacer on them, proceed to various places other than those mentioned in clearance papers and there meet and deliver to ships belonging to or under control of a for- eign country, the supplies falsely des- cribed in the manifests recorded at the Customs House, The Federal authorities here are said to have learned of the operations and movements or the Berwind and the Lorenzo, two American ships char- tered by the Hamburg -American of- ficials, in their efforts to furnish sup- plies to the German auxiliary cruiser leaner Wilhelm der Grosse, and the Earieruhe from Vatione members of tee crews of the two Ameeicent ships.

CHAPTER XXXII, "Good Heaven, man!" exelitinied the earl, standing up and etariug at the eurgeon, as if he thought him insane. "Your own brother. Earl of Well- rese, the son or your own father and mother," continued the eurgeon. "Mare You aro mad to say it!" ex - chimed the earl, "Your elder brother, eny lord; born two years before you SEM the light," persisted the surgeon, , rising and standing before the ea-ee. "You merit utterly have lost your reason. Sit down, I beg you, and try to collect your tholtglits," said Lord Wellrose, who was hinaselt prOierindly agitated, not only by the suddenness, strangeness and importance of this revelation, but by something also in his own nailed that assured him of its truth, "I will sit down and be very quiet. And do you aIso follow your own ad- vice and my example," calmly replied the surgeon, as he resumed Ms seat. The Earl of Wellrose sank into a cbair, saying: "Now, in the name of Heaven, give Me your reasons, if YOU can possibly have any, for making this most astounding statement." "Certainly, my lord. I should surely never expect you to receive this 'state- ment 'without proof, To begin with, then, 1 must remind your lordship that at the time of your elder brother's birth, I was the pupil end assistant of Dr. Seton, the medical attendant of Your mother." "I know." "On that wild March night, when your elder brother was Born, I sat up till morning, waiting for the doctor's return. In the grey dawn of the morning, he came home, bringing with him the dead •body of A newly -born male child, which he represented to be the child of a charity patient named Magdalene Hurst. He said that he had brought it to the house for post- mortem examination and then burial. _Withmy assistance he performed the autopsy. And the same day the death was duly eegisteked, and the child was buried." "And this child Was not my drier brother?" "No. This child was what Dr. Seton represented him to be to me -the child of a, charity patient who was toe poor to bury him. Your infant brother, very fragile, indeed, but still living, lay then upon the bosom of that woman, Magdalene Hurst, who, While In a state of unconsciousness, had been bereaved of her own babe, and had had this one, your infant elder bro- ther, dressed in its clothes and put in its place by her side, and so palmed off upon her as her own. Pardon me, Lord Wellrose, for telling you these truths," "It is your duty to tell me them, since you'believe them, And you say that you have proof?" "I have proof, my lord." "Go on, then.' "The child of Magdalene Hurst died, and was buried, as I said. The child of William and Eglantine Douglas, now Duke and Duchess of Cheviot, lay on her bosom in its stead. And yet Magdalene Hurst knew nothing of this fraud that, had substituted the living noble for the dead peasant." "Go on! go our "At length, however, the old nurse, who had been Dr. Seton's only coa- - federate in this 'pious fraud,' as the old doctor honestly considered it, came upon her deathbed, and, being smitten with remorse, summoned Mag- dalene Hurst to receive her confes- sion. And when Magdalene canto she told the astonished woman of the fraud that had been put upon her. And then, before she could utter another word, she died, leaving the woman in perfect ignorance of the real parent- age of her foster -child, or of any clue by which she` might discover tt." "The last part of this story 1 aave heard already, from Benjamin. There was nothing in the part told me to lead me to suspect that Benjamin was more than a distant kinsman of the family. Oh! good Heaven! It your story -be true, as you believe it, how much, how dreadfully, how awfully, has my brother been wronged!" said the young earl earnestly. The surgeon looked at him in a,mazeinent and admiration. Here was no selfish consideration of his • eget loot rank as eldest son and heir • -only • the theught of how moth his brother had been 'wronged! .."A0 yet,- Lord Wellrosese he said, Jaye produced rto proof od•the • trail of \Assad- haveadvanced.

He died, and took the secret with hint to the grave, as everyone supposed," • "My mother always feared it con- cerned her first-born son," said the earl. "Her maternal instincts were true. It did concern him. Dr. Seton died, and was buried; and 7, his assistant tend heir, Christopher Kinlock, suc- ceeded to Ms property and to his practice. And years passed on. The doctor's death was a thing of the past. His unreveeled secret Was forgotten." "Not by all! Not by my father and tny mother! I think that all their lives they have been troubled, at times-, by the recollection of the dot- tor's deathbed, ahd speculation as to the nature of that disclosure which he tried and failed to make them.

I took charge ot his boxes, as he had desired, It was la the simple action of giving out his linen that I came now and then across the name of Benjamin Hurst, I took little accoUnt of it at the time." "It was the name he bore once, as I suppose you now know," said the earl. "Yes. And when the young Man recovered sutficiently to permit of conversation, I called his attention to the fact that this strange name Was marked upon some of his elotaing. He spelled, but gave no explanation." "Poor fellow! He kept silence, In regard for me. I tad given him a new name." "Ay, my lord; • so I thought. And a mere instinct of justice, if not of brotherly love, must have know it then. In a few days the order came for me to sail for England In charge of the invalided- troope. Among these was Captain Douglas, to whom, for good reasons, I gave parti- cular attention. it was during our voyage home that I had ample 3eisure to look over that old bundle of yel- low, mildewed papers .that I had dis- covered in the secret drawer of my guardian's writing desk, when the old, worm-eaten bookcase was accidentally broken to piecea in the attempt to move it.

At' length I opened a paper that took away my eyesight and my breath for a full minute. Ah, my lord, it did. As I gazed upon it a mist passed be- fore my vision, and I gasped, Here, my lord, is the paper; look at it for Yourself," said the surgeon, placing in the earl's hand a folded paper, yel- low with age and speckled with mil- dew. The earl took it with calmness, and opened it with care. First there dropped from the paper a title fine, white knitted sock, which his lordship picked up and examined with much interest. "I have seen the fellow to this," he said, as he scratinized the 'wreath of eglantines and the crest of Beton-Lin- lithgow embroidered in the instep. "You have seen the fellow to that, my lord?" echoed the surgeon. "Yee, in the hands of Cautain Doug- las. It was a relic of his childbood. He showed it to me before he left Engluand frir the Crimea.

With the correborative testimony we have in our hands, I think it quite indisput- able. But, oh gratious, Lord et Hea- ven, how bitterly haa my brother been wronged In all these years!" groaned the earl, covering his face with his hands.

Doctor, we must save him. The best medical skill in England - in Europe-inthe world, must be en- gaged for his restoration in life and health!" The surgeon gravely shook his head. "My lord," he said, "I tell you frank- ly, I have no hopes of saving Captain Douglas' life. He was born with a constitution enfeebled with the suffer- ings of his mother, ever before his birth; that feeble constitution was further undermined by the privations and exposures of his infancy and child- hood; and it has received its death- blow in that awful winter before Se- bastopol, and in that last fatal wound, received when he planted his colors Upon the walls of the citadel." "I tell you no! He must and shall be saved! All my fortune shall be de- voted to his service The best medical shill in the world shall be secured for him." "Ali, my lord, there is a limit to the power of wealth, and to the skill of physicians. They cannot raise the dead; they cannot restore the dying!" "Then God can!

When a colony, consisting of a few adult females and DOD or two malee, find their way to a new branch. they attach themselves to the bark, and hav- ing pierced it with boles through which they draw up the reelnous Juice* upon which they feed, they become fixed or glued by the superfluous excretion, and after a time Ole. the females forming by their dead bodiee little domes, or tent§ over the myriad* of minute eggs which they have laid.

Generation after generation dwells upon the _same twig until it to enveloped in a coating' of the resinous exudation often half an inch thick.

Radium in the Upper Atmosphere. Hess, of the Vienna Redline' Insti- tute, has recently published the re-' suits of some remarkable experiments. He has investigated the penetrating radiation which occurs in the upper atmosphere by meanis of balloon as- cents, and he arrives at the etartling conclusion that at a height exceeding 2,000 metres there is a rapid increase in the intensity of the penetrating rays. At these heights the penetrating rays from the earth itself would be absolutely negligible, while that from the radium emanation in the air, which has its origin in the earth and is 01 limited life, must be, at any rate, less than at the surface. So that it would seem we meet assume some extra -terrestrial source for these radia- tions. The conclusion that a great part of the penetrating radium cannot come from the known radio -active constituents of the earth and atmos- phere is one that mus awoke general interest, and calls for the further radio -active exploration of the upper atmosphere.
