"My tab is thievery incest' al all," Laid
Muth, pelting the pretty kitty -that snug-
gled in her altos. "1 ani s0 glad that
grandma gave her In me ".

Arthur, petting the head of Bun, who
Vas nibbling a clover leaf. Mine is the
Lest. I guess when Nell and Frank
get lu'ro they will wish the box lied
come to their )louse instead of us,"
"The idea of saying a common rabbit
is as nice as my deny Tab," saki Ruth,
getting angry. 'I guess 1 could have
taken Bun if 1 had wanted, for I was
the first to seo the pets. 1 wouldn't
have that, nasty dog nor the rabbit nor
the bird -nothing but this dear kitty."
"And I'wouldn't hare a eat," sad Ar-
thur, who, was getting angry loo, "I
always thought a dog would be so nice,
but this one is homely. 1 tell you the
rabbit is the best of all,"
'And I tell you my kitty is the best,'
said Ruth- "1 don't-" •
Before the naughty children could get
any farther the door opened an in
walked mamma with a letter in ler
hand. "I just received a letter from
grandmanla," she said, "and what do
you think she says? Grandpapa made a
mistake in his letter ab,:ut the pets and
she says Frank and Nell are to have
Drat choice because they have buth been
siok. I alit sorry but 1 know my 111110
Loy and girl would rather have them
salisfl. d than to choose yourselves,
wouldn't, .you?"
"_No, 1 wouldn't," said Arthur. "If I
can't have Bun I don't want any-
thing."
"And I wasn't give up Tab," wailed
Ruth, "You don't need to tell them
anything •alout the letter, Mama."
Mania talked la them a long line and
told them how many weeks their little
cousins had lied to slay in the house,
and at last the children said they would
give up their pets if Nell and Frank
wanted them, Ruth slicd a few tears
over the soft fur of Tab, and Arthur
gave Bun an extra handful of clover,
but neither of Um children said a word
about being sorry the letter cane. For
the firet lime the little invalids were to
come the next clay to make their choice
and bath felt it should be a happy time
since they had been ill so lung.
"I do hope they will taloa the bird and
the dog," whispered Ruth just as the
carriage was driving in the hoe.
"Yes, but we mustn't let mamma
know we feel bad if they lake Tab and
Bun, whispered back Arthur. "1 wish
I knew what they will do."•
"Corte here, children," called mam-
ma, and Arthur and Ruth rushed to the
sitting -room to find the pretty bird in
a new cage and the doggie washed and
ccnbeel until he looked like a little gen-
tleman beside the tramp that had been
so forlorn the day before.
"Oh! I wish-" cried two voices, and
then there was time for no more, far
Lrncle Horace carried the invalids in
well wrapped In shawls.
"The darling ki!tiel I want that!'
said Nell, hugging the pretty kitten
and smoothing its soft fur with her thin
ebeac. "I'm so glad, for I've wanted
a kitty so long."
"May I have this lovely rabbit?" cried
Frank with shining eyes. "I just love
while rabbits"
And after Tab and Dun had been car-
ried away by two ,happy little people
Arthur and Ruth danced up and down
in glee. "candy! Goody!" they cried.
"We have the best pets yet, haven't we,
mamma?"
You all have." said mamma, and 1
think she was right.
,I'LL PAY YOU F011 TILTT.
This 1:IJle parable by an unknown
author teaches its own lesson.
A hen trod on a duck's foot. She
did not mean. to do it, and it did not
hurt the duck much, but the duck said,
"1'1I pay you for that!" So the duck
flew at the old hen, but as she did leo
her wings struck an old goose, who
stood close by.
"111 pay you for that!" cried the
goose, and she lkw at. the duck, hitt as
she did so her foote tore the fur of a
cat, who was just then in the yard,
"I'll ,pay you for that!" cried the cat
and she started for the goose, but es
she dict so her claw caught in the wool
of a sheep.
"I'll pay you far Miall" cried the sheep,
and she ran at the eat, but no she +died
so her foot hit the foot of a dog who
lay in the sun.
"111 pay you far tial!" cried lie, and
jumped at the sheep. but es lie did so
his, leg struck an• old cow wlio stood
by the gate.
"11 pay you for that!" cried she, and
she von at lite dog, but as she did so
her horn grazed the skin of a horse,
win s'ond by a tree.
"lilt pay you far ball" cried he, and
he rustled al the cow.
' \Vhat a noise there 'vast The horse
flew et the cow, and the cow et the deg,
and tine dog et the sheep, and the sheep

and tie goose et the duck, and the duck

And all because. elle lien accidentally

CURIE PILleS AND CONSTIPATION,
Why is it that Weans are so effective
in the etre of piles? Because they don't
waste time on symptoms, but get back
lo the -real root cause 1 Nature Inas pro-
vided that the liver shall secrete a sub-
stance which, operating on the Intes-
tines, shall prevent the congestion which
causes piles. Bileans do not merely
soothe tite congested veins. They act on
the liver cells, enable thein 0 start their
work and then the agony of piles disap-
pears as does a river flood when the ice
jam is removed.
Mr. Thos. Plunkett. of 472 Manning
Ave., Toronto, sae's: "For three or four
years I suffered from constipation and
piles, I also had severe headaches, All
sorts of remedies were recommended to
ale but I tried them in vain. Bileans
were very different however. From first
Eying them I found benefit, and now 4f
anybody wishes to know anything about
P>ih'ans I will be glad to tell them how
superior they are."
\Vhy superior? Because most reme-
dies merely get at the external symp-
toms. Bileans go back to tie cause.
Same reasoning applies to their certain
cure of all Ilwer ailments, indigestion,
headache, constipation, female ailments,
anaemia, debility, etc. Druggists and
stores sell 'at 500. a box, or from the
Dileall Co., Toronto, upon receipt of

BRIDGE OF MAHOGANY.

ture fur Pedestrians and Teams.
As mahogany is among the most cost-
ly woods in the world, it may be in -
ferrel 1haI ibis tropical material is not
r, ree extensively employed in the con-
struction of buildings, etc. A bridge
constructed of solid mahogany is cer-
tainly u rarity, a curiosity. There is
one, claimed to be the only ane in the
world, built of that material. This
structure is located in the Department
ct Pakenque, Slate of Chiapas, Republic
of Mexico. This district lies in the ex-
treme southwestern part of 'Mexico, near
the boundae;y line of Guatemala.
Thio mahogany bridge Is conslrucled
entirely of that valuable wood except
some iron supports, braces and %51(0
that are neeeesary. The bridge spans
the Rio \lichol end its total length, in-
cluding approaches, exceeds 150 feel,
while the width is 15 feet. It is used by
Nth learns end pedestrians and, though
sewwewhai rude and primitive in con-
slruetien, it 10 very substantial.
None of tie Umbels • of the flooring
were saved tar in that region there are
no sawmills, but were lawn and split.

ber trees the mahogany growths ace.
also cut down and removed. As. this

A NEW WAR ON OPIUM.
The Chinese government hes followed
Its recent edict against opium by strin-
gent regulations which seen to show a
sincere purpose to do all that can be
dole to suppress the use of elle drug in
the empire. The regulations provide that
not only the cultivation of •he poppyPy
but the use of opium shall cease within
10 years. No new ground can be pieced
under cultivation for opium production,
and the ground naw under cultivation
for that purpose must be reduced one-
tenth annually hider penalty of confis-
cation. Persons already addicted to the
use of elle drug are required to use an
annually diminishing quantity, and all
persons are forbidden to begin its use.
(Metals aro especially enjoined to set
an example of abstinence. The impor-
tation of morphine 0 prohibited, and
pleasures are to be taken to end the
opium trade within ten years. These
governmental regulattons will be
strengthened by a growing public senlI-
ment against the use of the drug, which
finds frequent expression in the Chinese
press.
