THE POPE'S DOCTOR. .1N INTERESTING SKETCH of A FAMOUS CHARACTER• now Tae Differs From His Cana- dian Colleagues—An Example Worthy of )3oing Followed. Dr. Lapponi, the famous physician to the Vatican, whose Hanle has re' cently coma so greatly testi to the front of account of his unremitting al ten tion to His Holiness the late c Pope Leo X.1II., and the high esteem with which he is regarded by the present Pope, His Holiness Pius X„ is a ratan of commanding genius. But he is something more than that. He is more than a mere man of science. lie is a man of original and inde- pendent mind. Ho stands out among medical Wren of all nations, then - selves the ilower of the wood's in-. tellect, by reason of his fine inde- pendent personality, He has had differences with his fellow scientists. Ilut 110 one has ever disputed for an instant the remarkable nature of his professional aLtainwcnts or tho un- flinching integrity of his personal chee:tcter. ile is afraid of no man. But he has a higher courage still. He is not afraid of the bugbear of professional etiquette which fright- ens even soma of the greatest doc- tors. oetors. As an example of this may be men- tioned one retry interesting respect in which he has differed from the medical mon of this country, The latter ars trammelled by medical eti- quette. No one disputes their scien- tific skill or their unselfish d.ovotion to their work. Dut they are limit- ed itt their labors by one remarkable scruple. They will prescribe and experiment with drugs of all kiuds sanctioned by the Pharmacopoeia or newt,- introduced; but where a. medi- cal discovery, even when it is the life -work of a regular practising• phy- sician, is recommended to the gener- aI Public by a manufacturer, profes- sional etiquette steps in and fright- ens them. No matter how over- whelming the evidence of what such a discovery when sold as a proprie- tary medicine, has accomplished, they look eoldlt• upon it and will 'JiTTLE-BOY-AFRAID-TO-PLAY, Mr. Hall went up on lite moun- thin, .one time, to work in his thine, and 'Villin and Edith went with him to keep house in the cabin, and for company, Ono side of the mountain belongs to the Ute Indians, and they hunt deer and other game theca, but their village is down in the valley. One marnittg Willie and Edith went to the mind with their papa, but came back in alittle while. Whea they, got to the cabin door they saw some very queer tracks in the soft earth, a little like the tracks of a wheel, but there were a great many of Chem. "I think," said Willie, "sonic new kind of animal with tremendous long feet must have been here." Edith began to cry. Little white girl no get afraid!" someone said, and when they looked around there was Squaw R'ith-1:t- with standing by her pony, and her boy was with her, too. Tee-tna-ha came up and shook hands with Wil- lie, and pointed to the poles that were fastened to the saddle at one and and dragging on the ground at iho other. "Ugh!" said With -la -with, "wig- wam pole animal got plenty long tracks!" And she laughed. The Indians set up their wigwam near the cabin, and then Willie and Tee -me -he, went up to the spruce timber to hunt. Tee -ma -ha had a. bow and about 20 arrows, and he took them and left his rifle at the camp. Near the spruce thicket they i found many tracks, and some of the trees had been peeled. Ugh 1 Por- cupine!" Tee-zna-ha said, They look- ed everywhere for squirrels, but could not find any. In the top of one tall tree there was a bunch of moss that moved. "Porcupine 1" the Indian boy said, again. Willie had never seen a porcupine. The funny bunch of moss moved around very slowly to the other side of the tree, but Tee -ma -ha went around on that side, too. He fixed an arrow to the bow and held it up before him, and it was taller than his Head. "Aly! but that's a fine one," Willie whispered. "Sees; With -la -with name me Tee- ma-ha, eema-ha, and it mean 'a heap long bow,' when white boy talk,' He aimed at the porcupine In the tree- top, and "ting!" went the bowstring end the arrow flew straight at tate buneli of moss. "Fine shot!" Willie shouted, as the porcupine came tumbling clown. It was a big ane, and had green- ish-brown fur, and something else that was not fur, on its back end tail-: "Whew! Needles and hatpins ! Who will ever carry this thing home, Ira like to know!" Willie said as he touched the dead porcupine. But Tee -ma -ha picked it up by the lower jaw, where it bad no quills, and carried it easily. With -la -with took an old sack and wrapped it about the porcupine; then pounded the bundle with a spruce limb, and when she unwrapped it the quills were all in the cloth. "How did it ever get so very many sharp thorns in its back?" Edith asked. "Ugh i" answered With -la -with, "porcupine 'Little -boy -afraid -to -play', when Ute talk. Long time ago, por- cupbno got plenty fur, him no got any quill. Little bear run about and run about and play and play. Little beer slap porcupine, hint squeal and run away and hide quick.

When slie dined with diem she was surprised to find that Alvin had geitr in weight. and looked better than lie had when lie had lived at home. She noticed, too, that once when he had carelessly niched cigar ashes on the floor he rose the next minute and carefully brushed then't tip, "I orale so notch extra work for May," he said, in explanation, "You didn't train Inc very well, did you, mother?"

I have hopes of you if I limp up this 'discipline," she remAied, Mrs. Jones senior is wondering if she really did not make a mistake in not using more firmness with Alvin when he was at home. FOR ALL CHILDREN. Baby's Own Tablets is a medicine goad for all children, from the feeb- lest infant whose life seems to Jiang by a thread, to the sturdy boy whose digestive apparatus occasionally gets out of order. The. Tablets instantly relieve and promptly cure all stom- ach and bowel troubles and all the minor ailments of little ones. Thous- ands of mothers have proved the tt'utli of these statements, among them Mrs. Roht. Morton, Deerwood, Man., who says "Baby's Own Tab- lets have Helped my baby more than anything I ever gave him. I can conscientiously recommend the Tab- lets to all mothers." We give you a solemn assmeauce that the Tablets do not contain ono particle of opiate or harmful drug. Tliey do good—they never can do harm, and all children take them as readily as candy, Sold by medicine dealers or sent post paid et 26 cents a box by writing The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. rarely admit that they have used it with success. It would he "un- professional" to do so ! Dr. Lap- poni is troubled by no such scruples. For instance, the numerous remark- able cures which have been proved by newspaper reports, inilependeatly investigated, to have been accom- plished by the medicine sold in Can- ada under the name of 1h'. Williams' Pink Pills for•I'ale People, must be well known to all Canadian doctors. They have been published far and wide. There can be no doubt of their accuracy. Tho names and ad- dresses of the men and women cured are freely published, Their state- ments have been investigated by, some of the most important news- papers in this country and abroad. No one has ever attempted to dis- pnte the facts. But Canadian doc- tors have never cared to admit pub- licly that they have nailed them- selves of this discovery, Dr. Lap- pon3, however, has availed himself of Dr. Williams' discovery, and has, in his own fearless way, had no hesita- tion in making the fart publicly known. The following letter, tt'ith his signature, freely avows tho facts and endorses the value of Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills with an autharity no one will venture to question. TRA.NSL I.TION.

Lapponi is of course that tired, languid condi- tion of young girls whose develop - ,went to womanhood is tardy, and 'whose health, at the period of that development, is so often Imperilled. Ms opinion of the value of Dr. WIl- liants' Pini: Pills at that time is of the highest scientific authority, and it confirms the nia11y published cases in which anaemia and other diseases' of the blood ns wellas the nervous diseases referred to by Dr. Lap-� pont, have been cured by these pills, I which, it need hardly bo mentioned, owe their efficacy to their power of making new blood, and thus acting directly on the digest ive end nervous system.

Some surprising and noteworthy conclusions on this point have been reached by a German naturalist, M. Werner, of Vienna, who has recently reported the result of observations that he has been making for some time on tiro senses of inferior verte- brates. On certain points the conclusions of M. Werner at•e very surprising, and in all they are worthy of notice. M. Werner has observed 136 individuals, of which one-third were at liberty, and ho took all possible precautions not to let tho creatures know they were watched. One general fact is evident, that reptiles and amphi- biares are strongly attracted by wa- ter•. They go straight for it, even when they aro at a distance so great that they could not divine its pre- sence by ally of the senses known to us, It seems really that a sense of which we have no knowledge informs them of the direction in which water may be found. There seems to be a sort of chemi- cal attraction, says M. Werner. But how does this act, and on what part of the creature ? 'This remains a. my- stery, Reptiles also- seek the light, but Independently of heart; they are postively heliotropic, and in winter they often leave a comfortable and warm retreat to seek the sunlight.

TI N 1 Nall itfi r TO KEEP HUSBANDS GOOD A FEW HINTS FOR THE YOUNG WIFE. It Behoves Her in Every Way to Preserve and Increase Her Husband's Esteem. First catch your good husband; that is the main thing. Having caught him, tIle next and most im- portant thing is, to keep him good; and the only way to effectually bring that about is for a wife to be good lierself. Always remember one thing: never use a lover ill whom you design to make your husband, lest he should either upbraid you with it, or, worse still, return it in kind—afterwards, Repress every inclination to play the tyrant; men may be led, but they most certainly will not be driven. Gently and persuasively ruled, you may do abnost anything with them; treat them haughtily and diotatoriel- ly, and you will have yourself to thank for the natural result. Avoid, both before and after mar- riage, any suspicion even of manag- ing 3'our Husband. Never seek to deceive him, even ever so innocently, or attempt to impose on his under- standing. Some injudicious wives succeed in trying a huslxand's temper by giving him unnecessary uneasiness, Be hits tlon, and your respect, a right to your sincerity, your affect Ile 1117 DESERVES IT. To be over sanguine before marri- age, or to promise yourself absolute- ly unalloyed felicity is a mistake, for in the present condition of things so - Mal, it is unwise to expect too much of even a good man. Ire is just a man, not an angel, and if, in the comae of time., you discover about the husband of your choice anything not quite according to sample, use a little tactful forbearance; be, in fact, a little blind, and pass it over as be- ing, after all, only Yuman, Smooth your brow, compose your temper, put on a clean bib and tucker, and trust to cheerfulness and good nature to carry you through. Newer, on any account, dispute with a ratan, no matter how great the temptation. Not only will he, in nitre cases out of ten, be smro to got the best of it, but the trivial satis- faction of having your own way, will be but a poor equivalent for the quarreling and, heart -burning of which it is even impossible to see the end. A woman's power, ,as well as hap- piness, lies no other foundation than her husband's love and esteem; which, consequently, it behoves her in every possible way to preserve and increase. Sturdy lits temper, therefore, and command your own, for even a good husband has his terrible irritable rno- THEKING EATS WILAT e What's Fit for Him, A Mass. lady who has been through - the mill with the trials 'of the usual honsekeeeicr• and mother relates an in- teresting incident that occurred not long ago, She says: "I can with all trutlifulness say that Grapo-Nuts is the most benefici- al of all cereal foods in any family, young as well as old.

Fortunately for the majority of married men, women are, as a tide, only too well fitted for the true wife- ly position, and tho bines we 000 giving are chiefly designedfor those whose youthand inexperience render the matrimonial issue a matter of anxiety, doubt aid uncertainty. This is en age of early marriages, and the girl who enters upon wedded life before she is well free of her gir- 11511 irresponsibility, needs a few words of advice in and warning with regard to the ordering of herself in the eyes of her husband. Man, to the average girl in her late teens, is a human enigma.

ONCE FAMOUS BEAUTY. The strange and sad romance of a beautiful woman, baroness do It.ali- den, who was once the spoilt child of half the capitals of Europa, has just come to light in Paris. Owing to her father's financial reverses She joined a circus troupe, being an ac- complished rider, and while at Riga married the baron de Raltden. When she was at the height of her success, idolized and wealthy, her husbpnd, whom she adored, died suddenly, and she returned to her former profes- sion. One morning on awakening slie found that she had become totally blind. By a coincidence she was to ride a blind horse in the arena the same night, and attempted to go through tier performance. The ani- mal, however, noticed something was wrong, became restive, and bolted, throwing his rider against a pillar and fracturing hersl uli, After wast- ing the little money that 101110ined to her on specialists wlio could do her no good, the baroness is now plunged in the blackest misery in Paris, blind, ruined and forgotten.
