"Why, deaxles," said Aunt Ber- the, as she came into the nursery and found the three children with oolemn little faces pressed against the tarn -spattered window -pane, "have you yet to learn that it can be sunny within if it is rainy out- side 7" "If this was the last day of your vacation,and it had rained most every day, 1 gcess you wouldn't say that, said Bobby, the eldest of the trio. "When I was ten years old, I presume I wouldn't have said so," replied Aunt Bertha, "but I have learned since that we can make the aun shine for us almost always if we aro only willing to try. How would you like to go on a pleasure trip?" She was smiling brightly. "In the rain?" asked the three, in surprise. "Why, Aunt Bertha! Sow could we go_out?" "Oh, the rain won't affect us in the least. We shall not even need rubbers or unl,bretllas;" she an- eivered, laughing. "You may put on •your rubber boots, Bobby, and run over and ask your playmates to come and travel with you, if you wish." Bobby looked rather doubtful, hut he went and soon five children were watching aunty stitch up four long strips of brown paper on the machine. This she divided into five booklets. Next she brought a pile of old magazines, several pairs of scissors, and some paste and brushes. "Now," she said, ',you may all travel just where you with. These magazine's are full of pictures taken in interesting countries all over the world. Wherever you decide to visit, just find all the pictures you can that have any connection with the place, and paste them in your little books, and you will have much of the pleasure and excite- ment xcitement of a real journey, with none of its dangers and discomforts, I will leave you for a little while now, and when 1 come back I shall expect to find you all home again, safe and happy." How quickly the next two hours passed, and how busy the little brains and fingers -were! Bobby went to California. His first picture was of the "Sunset Limited," the train in which he chose to cross the continent. There were views of Western cities that be passed through; and when he reached the sunny land he filled his booklet with scenes in the great harbor on the Pacific coast, pic- tures of wonderful flowers and fruits that grow only under south- ern skies, photographs taken at an ostrich -farm, and many other things of interest, until the last leaf of the journey -book was cov- ered.

The trouble is root - co in the blood, and can only be cured by enriching the blood and driving the poisonoua acid nut of the system. This is e, great medi- cal truth, which every rheumatic sufferer should realize. Liniments and outward applications can't cure the' trouble -they can't reach the blood.

Having tried so much medicine without benefit I began to think I was doomed to bo a cripple, Ono. day a cousin, advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She said, 'I take them every spring as a tonic for my blood, and they make a new person of me.' After some persuasion I decided to try them. I had taken three or four boxes before I noticed any change, and then it seemed my ankles were less painful. By the time i hap used a few more boxes there was a wonderful improvement in my con- dition. Not only did my ankles get well, but I felt like a different woman and had not beta as well in years.

The country to the southeast of Tekar is the home of the Hasas; the liadendoas occupy the khors to the southwest. Both of these are black Arabs, speaking different langu- ages. The Hasas live almost entirely on sour milk, while the Hadeudoas are agricultural as well as pastoral. Their dokhn and durra, milletlike grains, were ripening in February and being protected from count- less swarms of small birds by men who stood on elevated platforms, from which they cracked loudly large whips with palm leaf lashes twenty feet long. The dress of these Arabs is a cot- ton sheet hell in by a belt in which they carry crooked knives. For other weapons they use sticks, spears and swords. Firearms are prohibited. Judging by the many scars borne by the men the pas- toral life is by no means so peace- ful as the poets would lead us to think. Many of the scars dome from duels, in which the men stand face to .face and cut each other al- ternately in the back till one cries "Enough l" CONSERVATIVE PROGRESS Annual Report of the Excelsior Insurance Company. The annual statement of the Ex- celsior Life Insurance Company. which is published in this paper, shows this young Canadian Com- pany to be in an exceptionally strong position at the close of the year's business. The management of the Company is to be heartily congratulated on the progress made in the past year and the growth and splendid standing of the COm- pany maintains its previous praise- worthy traditions. It is a very noteworthy fact that the death rate in the past year was 44 per cent. less than expected, and 9 per cent. less than the previ- ous year, which shows very care- ful selection of risks. Expenses have also decreased i'n per cent., illustrating watchful management. The increase of insurance in force amounting to 10 per cent., and the addition of 10 per cent to assets and 17 per cent to income undoubtedly show a most commend- able activity coupled with a wise enter Si; the children. conservatism.

Part Felix East, Guyaboro Co., N.S., March 22 (Special),' - That you .need no longer fear the knife if troubled with gravel or other urinary troubles is the glad news that Joseph Pelrine, a well-known young fisherman here is'telling his friends. • "I suffered intense pain from gravel and other urinary troubles for nine months," Mr. Pelrine says.

The urin- ary organs are entirely dependent on the kidneys. If the kidneys are not in good working order they cannot filter out the uric acid and it combines with other products of the body and causes gravel. Heal- thy kidneys dissolve the stones and they pass -off in the urine. That's why Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure gravel.
