There's sunshine in each word Ise speaks, His laugh is something grand; 11 ripples over down his cheeks Like waves on snowy sand. He laughs the moment he awakes, And Lill the day is done; The schoolroom for a joke he takes, 1Iis lessons are but fun. No matter how the day may go, You cannot make him cry; He's worth a dozen boys I know Who pout, and mope and sigh, WORSE THAN THE MEASLES. Teddy was pouting. Aunt Helen was singing, trying to sing the pouts away, so she said. But either the music of Aunt Helen's voice, music which Teddy dearly loved, or his own good temper coining back to him, made first one cm, net of his mouth turn up, then the other; bC that by the time Aunt Ilelen's hat Was securely pinned on, "Smiling Face," Aunt Helen's pet name for Teddy when he was in his usual good humor, was bunting for his cap. "Wbatt want to go with me?" Aunt Helen exclaimed, in a surprised tone. "Yes, if you please," was Teddy's ra- ther timid answer. "I shall be very glad of your company. 1 mn going up on the hill to watch my Little goldfinches." Aunt Helen's voice was so bright and cheery that Teddy couldnothelp won- L'ering if she ever had pouted when things went wrong. "I think I did have a spell of it, once on a time," Aunt Helen replied in rather a musleg tone of voice, when Teddy ventured to question her, "But you never do, nowt" Teddy's tone was so confident that Aunt Ilelen hast- ened to assure him that pouting is a disease, worse even, than the measles or scarlet fever and that it is contagi- ous, just as they are. "How did you and that out?" ques- tioned Teddy. "Well, I think I found it out when I war quite a little girl. I had spells of pouting just like a little boy I know of. One day my cousin Margaret carne to visit me. I wanted to Lemke her out in the woods to see my pet squirrel- My Another did not think it wise for me to go that day, as I had been sick all night. So down I sat and pouted. I knew it would not do any good, or make my mother change her mind—it never kl. But Mr. Pout pounced right dawn on my face when my mother said "no," and there he stayed. "Pretty soon I looked at Margaret, who stood by the window, and to my eul'prise, she was pouting, also. I did 1101 understand how that could be, for po one had said "no" to her. "Then a very strange thought came Into my head. I imagined Mr. Pout must have jumped from my face to Margaret's. I went to the mirror. My face looked just like Margaret's, and 1 et once concluded that pouting must be patching. I asked my mother and she assured me that I was right. "I think i began to recover from the disease on that day. 1 thought how bad it was going to be for a little girl litre me to be the means of making other little girls so very unpleasant to look at." "What did you do, Aunt FIelen?" Ted- dy's voice was full of eager interest. "Tire cure was very simple," Aunt Helen replied. "Every time Mr. Pout came creeping along I called upon Sun- ny Face to chase hien away. And very soon, to my surprise, I found that just a change of thought was all that was nec- essary eo-essary to effect the change of looks" "1 am going to try it, too, Aunt Helen, ll will bo almost like playing a game." ']'eddy exclaimed, as they started out the door, hand In hand. WHY GIRLS ARE PALE. They Nged the Rich, Red Blood Dr. Williams' Plait Pills Actually Make. Three years ago Miss Ellen Roberts, who bolds the position of saleslady In one of the leading stores in Halifax, N. S., was 4 pale delicate looking young 'women, who then lived at home with her parents at Amherst, N, S. She Complained of general weaknese and loss of appetite. Iler blood was thin and watery and she grew thinner day by day until she looked almost a sha- dow, Her cheeks were sunken, all trace et color had left her face and her friends feared she was going into de- cline. "I had no energy," says Miss Roberts, "and suffered so much team the headaches and dizziness and other symptoms of anaemia that I felt I did not care whether 1 lived or died, One day, however, when reacting our local paper I read a testimonial given by a young girl in favor of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as her symptoms were almost Identical with my own 1 deter- mined to try this medicine. Before I had used the second box I began to find benefit, and 1 continued taking the pills until I had used seven or eight poxes, by which time 1 was fully re- stored to health," To -day Miss Rob- erts looks as though she had never been ill a day in her life, and she has n0 hesitation in saying she owes her pre- sent energy and health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Bad blond is the cause of all common diseases litre anaemia, headaches, pale- ness, general weakness, heart palpita- tion, neuralgia, indigestion, and the special ailments that only womenfolk know. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure these common ailments because they make rich, red, health -giving blood, bracing the jangled nerves and giving strength to every organ in the body.

Recipient of Innocent -Looking Parcel Terribly Wounded. M. Haegcll, a partner in a firm of menders of antique porcelain and china, was terribly injured by a bomb explos- ion at his workshop in the Rue de Bondy, Paris, recently, which took place while he was opening a parcel deliver- ed to him in the ordinary way. He had opened the outer basket, and found an envelope with a key and a wooden box. He had no sooner attempt- ed to turn the key in the lock of the box than a tremendous explosion oc- curred, which shook the whole neigh- borhood and shattered the windows if the workshop. A woman, who was sit- ting in a fourth floor window sewing, was seriously injured. A9, Naegeli was found horribly wound- ed standing in the courtyard, but ap- parently perfectly calm. Itis face was bleeding, nearly the wholo of his hair and beard had been blown off and his left arm hung down a shapeless mass by his side, his hand and wrist having been blown off. Inside the box, attached to the sides by wire, was a revolver, containing a spent cartridge. It had been so placed that on the key being turned it pressed against the trigger of the revolver by means of an ingenious arrangement rf thread. The box was filled with black powder and with numerous pieces of old iron, nails, iron nuts, eta. A portion of Haegeli's arm had been blown against the wall, and fragments of flesh were found an a windowsill on the first floor. On arriving at the hos. pital he fell into a state of coma, and the surgeon found It necessary to am- putate the stump. IL is impossible to attribute any motive for the outrage. but there is a theory that someone to whom he had refused money may have taken this means of revenge. Curiously enough, the previous night. some unknown person entered the court, yard and roughly drew on the ground- glass window 01 M. Iinegell's workshop a sketch of a revolver and a dagger. The pane on which this drawing wes mark was the only one leftintact after the explosion. POISONOUS WORKSHOPS. Load poisoning claims more victims than any other of the diseases which threaten lire factory hared, but the rare disease of anthrax, which attacked only a tenth of the numbs' of people, was responsible in 105 for almost as many deaths. Of 592 cases of lead poisoning in England and Wales last year, only tweniyearree ended fatally. Of fifty-nine cases of anthrax, 18 ended in death. The figures for rho last five years show that only one Case of lead poisoning In twen- ty-eight proves fatal; the chances of life to a person attacked by onihrax are more than three to one. Modern scien- tific improvements have very materially reduced the danger of lead poisoning, but anthrax, which scents inseparable from the handling of wool, hair, and hides, has rather tended to become MOM serious, and the deaths last year were half as many again as the average 10r the last five year's. Of the 502 cases at lend poisoning in 1005, ninety oc- em•red in white lead works and eighty- four in the china and earthenware IC. duslry, but the ratio of deaths to Cases was highest in the glass cutting and polishing industry. The average an. nual number of workshop polsorting cases for the last five years was 722, -----'d ALL RIGIIT NOW.

A Swiss watchmaker has invented a watch which speaks the time from a tiny phonograph. A very small hard rubber plate has the vibrations of the human voice imprinted on it, and is actuated by clock -work, so that at a given time the articulation is made, Indicating the hour, The utterance is sufficiently strong to be heard 20 feel away. It is possible by means of a device of this kind to combine sentiment, with utility, as the vibrations can be made by any clear voice, and a man's watch may trill him the time in the tones of wife '0r children. 1 THANKS FOR FOOD. THC Ile MOST ROMANTIC FIGURE ON PACIFIC COA,S'1'. and ills Schooner Have F kltu'cd Largely in Piratical Raids on the Rookeries, Despatches from Dutch [Iarboe, Alas- ka, indicate that the raid on the seal rookeries of St, Paul Island, which re- sulted in the death of five Japanese poachers, wes led by Alex. McLean, one of the most romantic figures of the Pa- cific coast, and the original of more than one hero of popular action. Probably no sea ranger since Capt. Kidd has Ugured so pronllnezilly in story though the public history of this re- markable person extends over not more than a dozen years. Although well [mown in the Aleutians and Behring Sea for some time, Capt. McLean's personality was first disclosed to the country at large in May, 1904, in the harbor of San Francisco. 11 • was supposed then that his schlooner, the Carmencila, was Mang out for a ne- farious sealing expedition, but no- thing could be proved against her, and she was permitted to sail out of the Golden Gate as free as the west wind, It was rumored soon afterward that she had picked up a sealing outfit in Halt Moon Bay and proceeded to the Kui•lles and the Smoky Sea, as she WES reported in that neighborhood at various times for a year. Capt. McLean was next heard of when still master of the Carmencita. IIe was arrested in September, 1905, In Victoria, B. C., by the Canadian authori- ties at the request of the American Con- sul. Again nothing definite was ob- tained against his schooner, for this time she was under the Mexican flag. SAILED UNDER VARIOUS FLAGS. Cleared of this specific trouble, Mc- Lean appeared al various points in the Pacific, sometimes under his own Slag, sometimes under the Norwegian em- blem; and then the captains of the rev- enue cutters in the North began to re- call fain as the chief of many a furious raid of previous years. 11 was always said ane was close to piracy, but it could never be proved against him. He was suspected and was challenged, but nev- er convicted. The Commander islands, owned by the Russians, presented about that time the finest of all killing grounds for the holluschikie. The "Asiatics herd" was the technical term for this seal people; and, knowing that the Russian navy was busy in another part of the world, McLean descended in Ills might, expect- ing to meet with no resistance. But the coast guard was as crafty e.s be, and beat him off. McLean was overwhelmed once, too, on the perimeter of the restricted Pribi- loll group by the British cruiser Sheer - water, but again the ,Mexican flag af- forded him protection until that Govern- ment finally withdrew it by revoking his license. It is not at all improbable that Kip- ling elevated the captain into verse in "The Rhyme of the Three Sealers," when the guilty Reuben Paine of the Stral- sund asserts:— "But I've six thousand skins below and Yeddo Port so see; And there's never a law of God or roan runs north of Fifty-three." I1 remained, however, for Jnck Lon- don to portray one of the darkest fig- ures in fiction, for Lhe terrible form of Wolf Larsen was hewn, it is said, from the life of Alexander McLean.

TWO GEIIMIANS LIVE ON NOTHING. Secret cl the Simple Lite Is Solved et Last. Two German professors have solved the problem at how to live on "nothing a day." They are at present leading an exceedingly simple existence In Kabe- kon, a shall Island in the Bismarck archipelago, in the South Seas, where theh• food consists only of cocoanuts, thele clothes of loin cloths and their anusennente of sitting to the sea read- ing or watching native dancers. The discovery of now to live on no- thing was made by Prof. Englehoart, of Mtuiieh and Erlangen Universities. He suffered from 111 health from his childhood, and nine years ago he started experimenting with a fruit diet. He was soon convinced that the fruits obtainable in Europe were nob most suitable, and in 1901 he left for Ceylon, and after experimenting there and in Kabalcan, he has come to the conclusion that the cocoanut is the original, and therefore the most suit- able, food of elan. The professor was joined fifteen months ago by Dr, A. Hellmann, and the two aro now living on cocoanuts et a cost of nothing per day. H. M. Robson, of Cowan -terrace, Newcastle -nn -type, who has just re- turned to London after a pleasure trip to Kabnkon, gives an interesting ac- count of the professor's simple life. "I went out by the German -Lloyd boat for a holiday. The trip lasted seventeen weeks and cost less than 5200," he said. "I found both the professors in very good health. I 'adopted the cocoanut diet myself, and fouled it agreed with me excellently. "'rhe cocoanuts are . quite 'different from those seen in this country. They are fresh and soft, and are eaten with a spoon, like butler. Tha nut is full 0f a Iresln mills, and that is the only drink used. "The island is a land of perpetual spring. 11 Is thickly covered with vegetation, is only two miles long and one broad, and is an ideal place to take a trip lo," concluded Mr. Robson, 'I should strongly advise anyone who can spare the time to go. Visitors will be warmly welcomed by the professors, and the only expense will be the pas- sage money, for living there costs no- thing." —4 A Sound Stomach Means a Clear Flead,=The high pressure of a nervous life which business men of the present day are constrained to live make draughts upon their vitality highly det- rimental to their health.

The first package of Dr. Leonhardt's I'lem-Roid (the intalllble Pile cure) that was put out went to a small town in Nebraska. It cured a case of Piles that was con- sidered hopeless.
