"I didn't mean to, Betty."
"What's the troublol" asked mo-
tiler,
looking up from her book;
"Ben tipped over the ink on my
lovely cat -bird sketch I was mak-
ing for father's birthday!"
aoa'ry, Beth!" pleaded Ban.
"Yen might have looked where
you were going 1" muttered 4_eth,
sulkily. "Look, mother, plc e,"
and the held up her drawing all

"It's toe bad, dear, but what if
you had a thousand bird pictures
ruined instead of one 1" Here
mother actually smiled a little,
"That's what happened to the great
Aiidubon'a first drawings for his
`Birdsof America.' "
"How did it happen?" Ben and
Betty cried together, setting down
at mother's feet.
"Audubon,'• mother began, "was
living in a village on the banks of
the St. Lawrence, .when he had to
go away on business. He took all
his magnificent drawings of the
native wild birds in their homes
and haunts, placed them carefully
in a box, and gave them in charge
of a relative during his absence,
"He was away several months.
On his return home he soon asked
after what he called 'his treasure.'
The box was brought and opened,
and-"
"Oh, what had happened?" whis-
pered Betty.
"A pair of rats had moved in and
reared a little family among the
gnawed bits of paper which only a
short time before had represented
a thousand lovely feathered folk of
the air. The destruction was com-
plete.
"Poor Audubon could neither eat
nor sleep far several days. Then
he took his note -book and pencils
and went forth to the woods."
"Fine:" cried Ben.
"He said," concluded mother,
"that he felt pleased that he might
now make better drawings than be-
fore.' „
Betty looked at Ben. "Forgive
me," she said, "for making such a
Pass!"—Youth's Companion.
LYMPHATISM.
By this term physieians designate
a peculiar and imperfectly under-
stood morbid eondition in children,
through which death may occur
very unexpectedly during conval-
escence
g
escence from diphtheria or other
infectious disease, or during the
administration of an anaesthetic- It
is not, however, strictly correct to
call it an affection of childhood,
for it has been found, although in-
frequently, in adults. The only rea-
son that it is not seen oftener in
adults is 'that children who. suffer
from it seldom live to grow up.
The condition is one in which the
lymphoid structures—the tonsils,
the spleen, ,the"thymus gland and
the ,emphatic glands—are. overde-
eloped or of enlarged size. The
thymus gland is normally present
only in young children, and be-
comes progressively smaller as the
child grows older, until, at the
period of adolescence, it has virtu-
ally disappeared.
Sometimes lymphatism can be re-
cognized during life. but frequent-
ly the first intimation of its pres-
ence is the sudden death of the
child. In some cases the child is
afflicted with a peculiar respire-
s- s :asmf called • "thymic asth-

THE STAIRCASE TEST
If You Oanuai Pass It Your Health

When you aliffer acute, palpita-
tion of the heart, dizziness or
faintness every time you go up
stairs; when exertion of any kind
leeaves it

blood is defective—that you are

neglected worse disorders will fol-

consumption, If you are in this
condition yen need the new, good
blood of health that has been given
to thousands of aufferers by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. These ,pills
banish all the ailments arising
from poor blood, tone up the sys-
tem and make weak men and wo-
men well and strong. Miss Eliza-
beth Campbell, Almonte, Ont.,
says: "I was living in Pembroke
at the time my health failed ma
I kept growing weaker every day
until I at last grew so weak I could
not walk up stairs without help,
and I could not go down street
without sitting down and resting.
My mother got quite anxious
about me and took me to a doctor
who said he was quite sure he
could restore my health. He gave
me a little bottle of medicine, and
I continued its use until I had
taken four bottles, but instead of
getting stronger I was growing
weaker all the time, and was only
a mere shadow of my former self.
My parents believed I was in a de-
cline and could not get better. My
mother had heard so much about
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that she
decided I ought to try them. I
did not notice much change until
I had taken five or nix boxes, when
a decided improvement set in, and
from that on I grew stronger and
stronger each day, until through
a continued use of the pills I was
back to my old-time health and
strength. I believe Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills the best remedy on earth
for sick people, and cannot too
strongly urge other weak girls to.
give them a trial."

DOES IT WITH A SNAP.
"Peck's wife walks all over him.
He's what you might call a tele-
scope husband."
"What do you mean?"
"She draws him out, sees through
him and shuts him up."
Often what appear to be the most
trivial occurrences of life prove to
be the most momentous. Many are
disposed to regard a cold as a
slight thing deserving of little con- I
sideration, and this neglect often
results in most serious ailments
entailing years of suffering. Drive
out colds and coughs with Bickle's
Anti -Consumptive Syrup, the recog-
nized remedy for all affections of
the throat and lungs.
OVERDOING IT.
"She married him to reform
him."
"And what was the result?"
"He's so good now that he's
shocked at nearly everything she
does."

Fashion Hints
• SEEN IN PARIS SHOPS,
A fashionable new scarf is shown
in satin material trimmed With
three rows of marabou set close.
together in the bolder.
In spite of mauy new popular
materials the
gownsof soft satin
and of crepe meteor still hold their
own for elegance and beauty.
A frock is hardly considered fin-
ished without a cluster of artificial
flowers at the. waist or the shoulder
to catch up a flounce on the skirt.
Many )wedding toillettes will dis-
play a mingling of soft satin velvet
brocades and plain velvet, together
with lovely laces and filmy chif-
fons. •
Most of the fur coats this eeason
are fashioned with straight, grace-
ful.lines and rounded at the front.
Some are slashed at the side—not
for beauty, but to follow fashion's
latest whim. Their sleeves are
generally long and close fitting a-nd,
finished (without the gathers at the
top) like those on a man's coat.
Many lovely velvet frocks -of soft
colors are trimmed with plaitings
and quiltings of silk in the same
shade.
SKIRTS NARROWER.
Narrow skirts are narrower than
ever, and there are skirts decided-
ly full about the feet—a fullness
accomplished by means of an ac-
cordion plaited flounce, or simply
by a deep gathered one. But the.
narrow skirts are not tight; and
the full ones are close clinging. The
body, resolutely kept slender, is
tightly corseted below the waist
line, and all undergarments are
sunureased. But ,this matter of
tight skirts, full ones, high chok-
ers, and long sleeves uncomfortab-
ly dropping over the hands and
cumbering the arms with thick
folds, so plentifully presented to usi
by all the great designers, women
will settle for themselves. The de-
signers cheerfully acknowledge
that they themselves do not know
what will' be the prevailing mode
two months hence.
A WARNING TO .MOTHERS
•
No :nether can expect her little
one to escape all the ills of child-
hood, but every mother who accepts
fair warning as to the treatment of
these little ills can save her baby
such suffering. Thousands of mo-
thers of young children keep Baby's
Own Tablets in the house—all mo-
thers should do so. The Tablets
are a never -failing cure for all the
minor ills of babyhood and child-
hood. They can be given with per-
fect safety—they always do good;
never harm. Constipation, indiges-
tion, colic, simple fevers, colds,
etc', all rapidly disappear under
treatment with the Tablets. The
Tablets are sold by medicine deal-
ers or by mail at 25 cents a box
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co. Brockville, Ont.

TO REDUCE MILK TO POWDER.
In reducing milk to powder a
patented Swiss process evaporates
about 85 per cent. of the water at
a temperature of 50 degrees to 60
degrees centrigrade. The milk is
then exposed four seconds in a
layer of an eighth or a quarter of
an inch in depth on a surface heat-
ed to 105 degrees. The second heat-
ing removes 9 or 10 per cent. of the
remaining water, and the resulting
milk powder is not only sterile, but
the albumen is not coagulated.

There is no medicine so effective a

can be got anywhere, and their be-
neficial action will prove their re-

will do well in giving them ;a trial.

worth a pound of regret.
