THE ANNUAL HOLIDAY.
That wns a wise man who said that he
could do a year's work in eleven
Months, but be could not do it in
two] vc;nnet Q111101101 few persons could
put it se pithily, 11 is pretty generally
receguizrkl that the poorest economy is
that which would curtail or forego the
annual holiday.
Evert those chilly tellers who leave the
city ouch night for a suburban or a
country home need their annual outing.
If they do not wish to travel for It, let
then] slay at home and take thele rest
where they belong. In this way the great
value of ilio vavelien Ls obtained -they
get cul of the rut, the monotonous regu-
larity of (nil that tries for relief.
The irutidnys may mean many things
-change of air and scene, abstention
from every form of work, or ardent oc-
eupalion wllh sports. Any and all may
be gond, but the gret:t thing is to change
the point of wear and tear, to have the
wheels go round some other way. The
"pace that kills" is the same (thing, at
the same hour, in the same way, until
one could echo the poor Irishwoman
who thought 11 would b,: such a rest to
Iron Monday and %valet) Tuesday.
This is why each individual should be
(but is net always) the best judge of the
kind of rest needed. Each (mows best
where the grind comes, where the shoe
pinches, and the choice of change
should be guided by that knowledge.
The wnrnout leacher, who has all tine
year been overdrawing her reserve
force, should spend her time of rest
with those, who have something to give
her, some store of vitality and nervous
energy on which she can draw in her
turn. The woman who has spent a long
winter so troubled with domestic prob-
lems that that life has become one long-
drawn-out irrilatidn should shut up her
house, and let some other woman lodge
and feed her.
Some measure of outdoor sport should
be within reach of all, although the good
of a vacation is often destroyed by too
much ambition in this respect on the
part of those unaccustomed to long or
hard exercise. Those who wish to climb
mountains or lake long tramps or in-
dulge in vigorous exercise of any kind
should begin very gradually, and keep
well within lheh.

safe to
say that people exercise too much rather
than not enough In their holidays. It
Is so customary to join fresh air with
exercise in the same phrase that it is
easy to forget that one can have all the
fresh air one needs with only just as
much exercise as one chooses. -Youth's

THEARTOF KEEPING ,
I NC COOL.
\Vhen the hot summer days aro upon
us and 11 is impossible to change our
environrnent the best help toward keep-
ing cool is to learn to adapt ourselves to
it. But with all of us habit is so strong
that few of us think of adaptation, and
as a consequence we suffer from a way
of living which is suited only to the cold
winter months.
The cultivation of peace of mind is the
first requisite. Next, the essential of a
daily bath. A cool bath taken on rising
is the best tonic to prepare one for the
day's labor and exposure. A tepid,
cool bath or a short hot bath may be
taken in the evening, and if greatly
fatigued it is one of the most effective
means of bringing refreshing sleep.
Another necessity to keeping cool is not
only in the exercise of body, but in the
matter of diet as well. All bodily heat
arises from the oxidation or burning of
the food we eat. So when the tempera-
ture rises the body nerds less fuel. A
warm weather breakfast should be a
very light meal. As four-fifths of our
food is used for fuel 11 is easily seen
that in summer we need only a small
Quantity to supply vitality for bodily
and mental work. The ideal breakfast
would be whole wheat bread or zwie-
back, with some wholesome ripe fruit,
- such es strawberries, plums, melons ur
apples.
By giving oursclVes the benefit of our
elan of common sense, many of us
would go forth to the trials of n day in
the heat prepared for 11 by a diet con-
ducive to health. I -low many a man pre-
pares for such a day with a brealcl'ast
made up of griddle cakes, soda biscuit,
feted eggs•andbacon, sausages, Worces-
tershire sauce and strong coffee 1 13y
noon he feels the heat to such an ex-
tent that he feels compelled to chink
largo quantities of lee water, beer or
other cooling beverages. Contrast the
discomforts of such a ono in the tem-
perate eons with a coolie working bare-
headed m the direct rays of the sun in
a climate twenty degrees hotter. The
coolie is not uncomfortable because he
has adapted his diet to the environment.
Any man who excites his heart and irri-
tates his nerves by a dint of flesh foods
must expect to need all sorts of artifi-
cial means to make his life bearable in
the hot weather.
IdILI{ FOR TIRED NLrTIVES,
The jlu-Jitsu experts have a plan for
resting a set of tired nerves, The jiu.,
Jitsu warrior will take a pint of fresh
mill( end boat it scalding hot. Then Ile
will slowly cool it until it is pleasant to
the taste. Ho will then sip it, letting
each swallow rest in the stomach be-
fore teeing another. Milk taken in this
way Is not fattening, grid it is certainly
very restful.
HEALTH IN SALT WATER.
Salt water is good for the Scarp, the
eyes, the lace, the nostrils, the whole
body. Use salt properly and plentifully
and -paradoxically as it may scorn -you
will remain ever fresh.

aobor Common Among School
Children,
St. Vitus dance la 4 disease that la

among ohooi children, Young people
fire the nerves with study and the
nerves cry out, Sometimes the trouble
takes the form of neuralgia, headache,
nervous exhaustion, weakness of the
limbs and muscles, and what we call
"being run down." In other cases St.
Vitus dance is the result, and the suf-
ferer frequently loses all control of the
limbs, which keep up a constant jerk-
ing and twitching. There Is only one
way to cure this trouble -through the
blood which feeds and strengthens the
nerves. And Dr, Williams' Pink Pills
are the only medicine that can make
Ibo new rich, red blood that feeds the
nerves and strengthens every part of
the body. The case of Flossie Doan,
of Crowland, Ont., proves the value
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. Doan
says: "A couple of years ago my daugh-
ter Flossie was dangerously afflicted

TGOSTER KIN'S FUNERAL
ANIMALS WITH FALSE TEETH.
Have Been Treated by Dentists to Their
Great Benefit.
Some few years ago fudge Woodfall,
of England, was called upon to deckle
is case brought by a lady, who sued a
naturalist for failing to provide 1..r
fox with a set of false teeth. As it is
customary for ladies to make pets it
foxes, or for foxes to suffer from leek
a; molars, the case promised to provide
some features uncommon in the gener-
al run of County Court litigation, but
those present who expected the court
to coruscate with Lhe witty remarks of
judge and counsel, who should have re-
velled in the possession of such a peg
upon which to hang their witticisms,
were doomed to disappointment, for it
speedily transpired that the fox in ques-
tion had long since given up the ghost
and that the teeth were to be supplied
sclely in order to give a more realistic
appearance to the skin that was to be
turned into a boa.
Although the race of reynard has yet
to pay a visit to the dentist for profes-
sional treatment, canine and equine
patients have both been treated by the
profession, and have greatly benefitted
by their visits. Thus, in 1001, Mrs..
Jelffferson Seligman, of Now York, had
hor $4,000 saddle -mare, Anna, fitted out
with eleven teeth, which enabled the
animal, that could not eat before tae
operation, to masticate its oats with a
relish that it had long been a stranger
to. It is interesting to note that the
equine patient was treated with the
snore consideration as a human being,
the nerves of the teeth operated upon
being deadened with cocaine prior hi
being filled with gold where the filli•1gs
were likely to show, and silver where
they did not.
A New South Wales shepherd living
al Hargreaves, near Mudge°, having
a valuable pedigree ram which found
great climculty in masticating its food
owing to the loss of teeth, provided the
animal with an artificial set that un-
doubtedly served as useful a purpose as
the four gold teeth set with diamonds
thnt graced i.he mouth of a seven-year

Ion lar,
Jock Hewett, the Coster I{ing, 18 dead,
says the London Leader.
In life he was a roan of parts, with
a head for figures, a heart of sympa-
thy, and a free and open hand. He
made a fortune of many thousands in
selling cheap and good food to the low-
er classes, and he retired to a villa at
Streatham.
The other day his kind heart ceased
to beat, and he reached the crowning
point of his career in this unhappy
wale (as Mrs. Gamp used to say). He
was buried RQti full costar honors in
Buw Cemetery.
Ilis memory was perpetuated all
along the dusty route from Streatham
to Bow by the sale of thousands of
roourning cards printed in silver and
black, and bearing the picture of a
milk -white star shining upon an emble-
matic cluster of ivy leaves.
POETIC TRIBUTES.
On the obverse side were two little
poems, one in rhyme and one in blank
verse, thus:
Tho' many tears for hirn are shed,
Tho' hearts ore rent with passing
pain,
Yct who'd recall the happy dead,'
Or bring the blest soul back again?
Day by day, we all shall miss him,
Words would fail our loss to tell;
But in Heav'n we hope to meet him,
Never more to part again!
It was a £300 funeral, carried out
with all the very finest trappings of woe,
by that famous gentleman, htr. Alfred
Smith, of Southwark Bridge Road,
whose pageants in great murder cases
and tate (ileo are matters of history. 1t
was he who buried poor Maud Marsh,
the victim of Chapman, the prisoner,
Fireman Sprague, and many another.
ilo rose to the occasion this time with
a four -horse car, draped with the heavi-
est and blackest of ostrich plumes. The
horses were dark, as night, and each
snore a boxy blue pall which swept the
ground. Their necks were arched by
(alas!) the tightest of bearing -reins, and
over their ears nodded more grim
plumes.
THE "LID OF FEATHERS."
in front of this cat' was a smaller one,
which carried the Lid of Feathers, guard-
ed by two adipose and extremely mute
mutes, "with fittings." It may be ex-
plained for the benefit of ordinary peo-
ple who are put off, when their time
comes, with ordinary obsequies, that
the Lid of Feathers is a kind of tray
on which are piled masses of ostrich
plumes trained to arboreal shape. Its
history and Its meaning are lost
in obscurity, but the use of the Lid hi
these days is confined to costermongers
and fish -curers.
The rest of the cortege was made up
by four showy carriages, absolutely
aeammed with mourners, one hansom
with three passengers inside, and a
"tail" of costars' carts and barrows,
donkey -drawn and dismal. Smoking
was allowed in that part of the proces-
sion not officially supplied by Mr. Smith.
Each donkey wore (like his driver) a
crape cravat, each whip was similarly
netted at its throng, and every lady on
hoard had discovered something in her
wardrobe suitably sombre for the oc-
casion.
THE GALLON JAR WAS THERE.
The cosier mourns imperially; out
there is just a breath of Marl( Tapley
about him. This was instanced
by the appearance in one of the shays
ct a gallon jar, with a bow of crape tied
jauntily round its neck. It is a long
and dusty journey from Streaham to
Bow.
The funeral hurried. It hurried so
much that when the great rumbling
hearse crossed the Thames and struck
eastern territory there were only a few
survivors lett. In this way the pro-
cession could be followed by the trail
it left behind, and wherever there was
a Good Pull 'Up for Carmen there, for
sure, could be found a creped donkey.

Banda, Ont., May 21- (Special.) --
There is no one more widely known
cnd highly respected In this section of
the. country than Win. Bell, Esq., J. P„
and the statement he makes below con-
cerning his eure by Dodd's Kidney Pills
bears weight and carries conviction with
it.
"For more than a year I was a suffer-
er from ]ddney trouble,' Mr. Bell
says. "Always in pain at limes the ag-
ony would become unendurable and I
was practically tunable to attend to any
of my duties. I doctored with several
local physiciains and tried every means
io get cured, but without success. Al
last I was induced to give Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills a trial. I have the greatest
pleasure in stating that they drove
away the pains entirely and restored
me to my old time health and strength.
i am sure I owe this entirely to Dodds

abstract for the first time, represents the
annual consumption of certain articles
per head of the population in the princi-

Besides the above, the consumption
