Tho celebrated Dr, Darwin, who 'lived in the early part of the last century, was 50 hnpres:•lod with a conviction of the necessity of good all', that 'being very popular in the town of Derby, England, once on a minket day he mounted a barrel and thus acldressod the listening crowd "Yo men of Derby, 'follow ci l:eons, attend to m0! I know you to be in- genious and industrious mechanics. By your exertions you procure for yourselves and families the nocessar- ios of Iifo; but if you lose your to them must cease, This truth all of you know; but I tear some of you henith, that power of being of use do not enderstnud how health is to be maintained in rigor—this then de- pends upon your breathing an un- contaminated air; for the purity of the ah' becomes destroyed where onany aro collected together; the envie, from the body also corrupts it. Keep open the windows of your crowded workshops, and as soon as you rise oven n1.1 the windows of your bedrooms. Never sleep in a room without a chimney in it, nor block that up. Inattention to this advice, bo assured, will bring dis- eases on yourselves and engender among you typhus fever, which Is only another ntune for putrid fever, which will carry off your wires and children. Let me again repeat my serious advice—open your windows to let in the fresh air at least opce a day. Remember what I say ; I speak now without a fee, and can have no other interest than your good, in this my advice." It would be well indeed were it possible to extend this excellent ad- vice to our people, especially those living in large centers of population, Although it would be found impossi- ble in the majority of cases to "never sleep in a room without a cliinnleY," as open grates are very little used in this country, the advice to thor- oughly air the rooms at least once a day, by keeping the windows open for a short time, can easily be car.. tied out, and even if they should be entirely closed throughout the day '(we refer especially to the winter season) the rooms can be perfectly ventilated during the night by lower- ing one or all a fraction of an inch. This imperceptible opening is a reg- ular life saver, so to speak. Venti- lation by some means or another is absolutely indisponsible; such ventila- tion whereby impure air may be ex- changed for pure sickness for health, )IOW TO STOP BLEEDING. It often happens in cases of acci- dant that the danger to life is great- ly increased by, if not solely depen- dent upon, the lose of blood, the in- jury. itself being a comparatively tri- vial affair. Whether light or serious the wound can wait, indeed in most cases must wait, for the arrival of the physiainn, but the bleeding waits for nothing—it must be arrested speedily, and if it is not stopped by some one on the spot, or if it does not cease spontaneously, the coming of the physician may be useless, for the wounds of a dead man need no binding. In classes of instruction in first aid to the wounded, this point is always insisted upon, and rightly; but unfor- tunately how bleeding from a cut or torn artery can bo quickly and cer- tainly arrested .is not always clearly enough explained. The pupils study diagrams depicting the course and direction of the large arteries, and round black or red disks are placed at the points where pressure can bo effectively applied to, shut off the flow of blood from the parts lower down on the limb; the application of a tourniquet is taught, anti sometimes even the mode of tying an artery (which is surgeon's work and not to be attempted by, any member of a first-aid class) is . elaborately ,ex- plained; but sometimes tho lecturor forgets to say that the most copious bleeding can tihvays bo arrested tem- porarily,- and often permanently, by simple pressure made directly on the bleeding point. If you can put your finger (literally) on the source of the. hemorrlsag.e and keop it there, your wounded companion will not bleed to death, at least not while under your care. One must make sure, in doiog this, that the finger is really making pres- sure or) the bleeding point, which may, bo deep 'down at the bottom of the wound; but the continuance of the bleeding will soon prove that the finger, or the cloth pad, or the rounded Stick, or whatever is us ad to Make pressure with, is .not pressing on the right spot, Caro must be taken not to soil the wound with dirty fingers ora dirty rag.If time and opportunity permit, the finger Should first be washed or at least wiped with a clean cloth, and if a cloth pad is used the outer layers at least must be free from visible dirt.

Had Suffered for Twelve Veard and Was Ultimately Cured Through the Advice of a Friend. "Twelve years ago," says Mr. Wm, Emery, of Welland Avenue, St. Cath- brines, "I was living in the town of Gauanogne, and the physicians there told mo I had heart disease, From that time and up to four years ago I often had severe spells of the trouble, The least exertion would bring on violent palpitation, and at other times I would become dizzy, nervous and frightened and my heart would almost cease to beat, I became reduced in f1e8)1 and insomnia followed. I was hopeless of finding a cure, for I had been treated by an experienced doctor, and had taken many advertised' remedies with- out getting any benefit. One day, a neighbor strongly advised me to try 1)r. Williams' Pink Pills and act- ing on his advice I got a half dozen boxes. I soon found vouch relief through the use of the pills, and af- ter continuing the treatment for a couple of months I was again en- joying perfect health. I have not since had any return of the trouble and I feel sale in saying that the cure is a permanent one, and I Can strongly advise the use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills to all who suffer from similar trouble." The re- porter can only add that Mr. Emory is well known in St. Catharines, is a prominent worker in Methodist circles, and has the highest respect of all who know him. If you have any symptoms of heart trouble, neuralgia, indigestion, rheu- matism, anaemia or any of the num- erous troubles caused by poor or wa- tery blood, you will 'find new health and strength in a fair use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Do not waste money or further endanger your health by the use of substitutes—got "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People" on the wrapper around every box.

The Remarkable Experience of An Irishman. An Irish correspondent of The Lon- don Daily Mail vouches for the accur- acy of the following remarkable story : "As the result of a peculiarly vivid dremn," ho sayS, "Mr. Charles E. Stanley, B.A., of Erin -villas, New- castle, County Down, is angering from the effects of what appears to he severe sUnburll, and he 15 anxiouu to learn if any similar case has boon recorded, and if any adequate scien- tific explanation can be put forward. "Mr. Stanley, in relating his al - moat weird experience. says ; 'I nm thirty years of ago, a student, and very palefaced. Having been confin- ed to my rooms in the city of Bel- fast by severe literary work for some menthe, I paid a flying visit to New- castle on Monday last, when the lit- tle town was deluged with rain and the sun obscured. " 'I remained indoors all the even- ing reading, and retired to bed about 11 o'clock. During 'tfie night I dreamt I was lying on the seashore in a strange locality, and that the sun was shining with the intense heat, so much so that I felt my lace and hands actually being burned. In my dream I remember thinking what a Maned face I would have after ly- ing so long exposed to the glaring sun. 'The dream passed away, and in the morning I arose and commenced to shave. What was my astonish- ment, on looking into the mirror, to find my face and neck literally tanned dark brown, my nose in a parboiled condition, and, the skin broken, my forehead covered with freckles, and' my hands also farmed brown and freckled. The experience made •uneasy, and accordin'gly'1 spoke to a ddctor who was staying .in the same. house. He said I was badly sunbtu'nt by ex- posure.' I explained' I had not been in the sun for a single Hour for months, and that I arrived in New- castle in a deluge of rain, at the Same time mentioning 1ny dream. " 'IIo was amazed, and said It was the most remarkable case ho over t butbelieved the force of knew, h be o w 0 imagination had in my dream affect- ed the skin and caused the sunburn and freckles. -k ".Cho doctor asked me to write to the press, as the case is a Most re- markable ane.

Elegant designs, too, inc'the modern 01100, and a large place of *business in Lon- don is kept almost wholly occupied in Malting new models to attract the eye and appeal to the imagination, A largo quantity, of the stones of Christ's Hospital and old Kew 13ridgo were bought and have been carved into nice pedestals with a hla1oric flavor, In the old days no church was without its sun dial. Old St, Cuth- bert's in Edinburgh, for example, has a dial on the original tower to which the new building was added, In many old country towns the dial has for centuries occupied rt promi- nent place on the church 01' in the kirkyard. It was the standartc time- keeper. But ono farmer's wife in Yorkshire has a series of grooves on the stone flag of her house door, and ]las always the correct time under her eye—when the sun shines. A pretty new dial decorates Inver- leith Park, Edinburgh; and this is a very useful addition to public places anvl gardens. Lord Haddington has a very handsome Sun dial of massive design in his gardens at Tyringhame. Lord Ilchester has a variety of dials so placed that ho can toll the time on tho glass of his bedroom window without getting out of bed. AT SANDRINGIIAM there is a very fine dial engraved on a slab of slate and built into the walls of the house, The mottoes chosen by the King and Queen are "My time is in Thy hand" and "Let other's tellof storms and showers, I'll only count your sunny hours." A ]ago stone dial, six feet square, is on the wall of the 01d Tile House in Buckinghamshire. "Begone about your business" was inscribed on the dial of the old brick house which stood in Inner Temple terrace, London; and the present old sun clock in Pump Court has mark- ed the disappearing hours for over three centuries. While various cath- edrals, such as Ripon Minster, have very olio dials, singular to say St. Paul's, London, has none; but as clocks were just appearing when Wren designed his masterpiece it is proba- ble that the old. time had to give place to the new. The unsavory locality known as Seven Dials derived its name from a large stone 'dial which stood in the centre of the s4uaro with streets branching off. A splendid example of Inigo Jones's architecture stood. for year's in the middle of the new square at Lincoln's Inn, with the proud motto, "Let your light so shine before men." and the irony of fate was exemplified when it was re- moved to make room for a large flaring gas lamp, Glamis castle has an elaborate dial, a tail pillar with four lions erect and back to back, bearing the plate. 'A coronet surmounts all. Doubtless when Macbeth was thane 04 Glamis he would eye sono San clock when 11e wanted to know how the time passed. LORD GLASGOW has an ancient time plate stanieug 10 feet 4 inches high and bearing the. date 1707 and Lord Rosebely, has a pleasing dial at Dalmeny. What is said to be tho most costly sun -dial ever erected was one in pyramidal form, set up In ;;he year 1669 by order of Charles H., facing the banqueting house at Whitehall. Its inventor was a Jesuit and pro- fessor of mathematics at Liege. This tall pyramid contained no fewer than 271 different dials. Soma showed the hours according to the Jewish, Babylonian, Italian and as- tronomical ways of counting, while others displayed tables pertaining to astronomy, geography, astrology, etc. There were portraits on glass of the ICi1Eg,and Queen, the Duke of 'York, and Prince `Rupert., Tho cost 'of this royale toy was' enormous, ani* for 'repairing it on one occasion the bill came to 4600. Sk-ibo Castle has a very ancient 8uncloele, although Mr. Carnegie per- sonally prefers his household to be regulated by Greenwich time. The Duke of Sutherland had a very, expensive dial erected quite recently, in the gardens at !Thorley i„oni1 Surrey, Quite unique has been the idea of the Duke of Newcastle. In his house at Clumber he has a pedestal on wide re two iron hoops out a M411 4ab yard in diameter placed transvot'soly, ono inside the other, with a rod across the middle. In the centre is a knob which, when the sun shines, throws its shadow on the figures that aro marked in gold on the hoops, so that 0, Poly attractive time clock is produce . Another departure from the con- ventional stone pedestal is on the lonely island of St. Mary's one of the Scilly, group. An old cannon is stuck upward with a dial -plate fixed across its mouth. AN OBELISK AT nomv, which was brought from Egypt 1,y the Emperor Augustus, has been set up as a gnomon, On 1110 pacommt around it are lines marked in broken, and for over a century Romans have g101100d at the "hour o'clock" as they proceeded on their way. There was ingenuity on the part of the French gunner at Paris who had charge of the gun for proclaiming the hour of 1100n, ITO so arranged the dial that the *tour of noon eon- eontrated the rays of the sun through a burning glass on the Powder at the Gunnel'& touch 11010 and the Limo gun was thus fired. Portions the present method of fir- ing by electricity at 11dinburgll Cas- tle is the more reliable, for on &Owe treys the 51111 is ()teemed by clouds. tTolyrc0d Palace has a beautiful dial due to the 21110ppy Charles I, It is celled Queen Malys, but the iltary referred to was Henrietta Mare ia. Icor hewing the stone alone all Edinburgh mason WWI plaid £408. In the beautiful cemetery at Mary- lebone is an unfinished cliai whose shaft was from a design by Mr, Gil- bert, R. A, It fa dedicated to the wife of Joseph Hatton. One well known mal has gone so far as to have a beautifully carved sun oloek erected on the marble stone whieh 002.0113 his family burying place—a 00ne1talrt reminder, truly, of the pas- sage of days, To get a pretty 81211 dial is not a costly tiring to -day. A brass hori- zontal plate with carefully adjusted 5n001011, but without equation table or pedestal, Can be had, eight inches in diameter, for £2 68, A vertical dial 3 feet by 2 feet 6 inches, with bright gun metal gnom- on, and with all lines and ilgures cut and gilt in, would probably cost £1)0 This Is of Portland stone, with mot- toes, and similar to that at Sand- ringham, Between these prices Tnximn IS WTDII CHOICE. Each purchaser has his own ideas as to a pedestal should he not wish to fix his clock to the house or gar- den wall. The multipartite dial is much too elaborate an article for the ordinary man.. It boars on its brass face divisions showing the difference of time between the place where it is erected and other places on the globe, such as Jerusalem, Moscow, Cairo, Yokohama. In setting up a dial care has to be taken that it is correct as regards latitude. That is to say, a plate and gnomon set for London or Glas- gow'would only be good on places twenty to thirty miles in a radius from these cities. If the shallow is noted against the time given on a good watch it will bo found that that is the easiest Way to get a 8021 clock fixed. When the incorporation of clock -makers was in- stituted by charter 01 1681, they had jurisdiction not only over clocks, but also over sun 'dials, and had au- thority to search for and break all bad and unreliable dials. There must have been many an error in the year's that have elapsed since it was first known how to cal- culate the flight of time by the sun, for we read that Icing Ahaz had a sun clock, and it was in 742 B.C. that he reigned over Judah, DID THEIR DUTY IN EVERY CASE HOW DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS BANISH PAIN IN THE BACK. Cured Mrs. Jas. Murphy and Everyone Else She Recommend- ed Thetas To. River Gagnon, One., Oct. 31.— (Special).—No complaint is so com- mon among women as Pain -in -the - Back. It is a safe estimate that ful- ly half the women in Canada are af- flicted with it. For that reason every evidence that there is a sure and complete cure in existence is thank- fi111y received. And there is abund- ant evidences that Dodd's Kidney Pills is just such a cure. The district could furnish a dozen cures, but one is enougth for an example. The one 3s that of Mrs. Jas. Murphy. She says: T suffered for thirty-eight months with a pain in my back. I took just one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills and I have never been troubled with the pain since.
