A well known nerve specialist has given it as his opinion that inure women go into nervous prostration as a result of idleness than of over- work, "It is a rest from petty wor- ries," he said, "that wolf en most need, and this they can give them- selves. The women that does the least usually has more worries than the woman who works," The physician further says; "A wo- man hes wonderful powers of endur- ance when it comes to great things. She ens work and support her fam- liy, if peed be; she can bear grief with heroism; she can come out of hardest work and heaviest sor'r'ow with health tmimpalred, but she can- not stand the little things, the /nolo hills that grow to mountains when she has nothing to do but to think of them, without suffering a nervous collapse." "When she has no trouble, no real responsibility, no work to do, she builds up beg -bears and then turns thein loose to return and frighten her. "For the woman wbo is alt the verge of nervous exhaustion I can advise nothing more helpful than work. Not a mere dipping into something that may or may not be done but the lalctng ne of some real and congenial occupation, the neg- lecting of which will mean loss and failure, Take up something that means duties which will not only 1111 up the time, but absorb the in- terests. Women who have nothing to do have too much time to in- dulge tlieir imaginations. They make up some horrible thing that has never happened to them and prob- ably never will, and really worry about it more than they would if it hart already come to them. "To be sure, business women brealc down, wear out, and often have to give ug their work. It is not work itself that wears them out. It is rivalry or competition, which means strain. If the woman who worke would forget that there is such a thing in the world as 'getting ahead' of somebody, sbe would be Clore successful and far more heal- thy. Where there is strain and the spirit of rivalry, there is neither good work nor rest. At th'e time of rest the woman worries. All the time she is working she is dividing her time and streugUi, giving part to her work and part to her worries. The result is, that she neither works nor rests. ''More work and more rust is what woman needs. Idleness will never solve the problems of the nervous woman, When woman works well and rests well she will be a well woe man." (10 HYGIF)N1'1 OF THE EARS. The essential °'galls of hearing are placed at a depth of an inch or more beneath the external opening of the ear, in a crevice within the hardest, strongest bone of the skull. In this fact we find a suggestion of their delicacy and need of protection, But. notwithstanding this protected po- sition, disease rarely begins within the inner ear independently of ex- terior influences, In addition to the external open- ing, there is another passage to the car, known as the Eustachian Mahe. It pases from the pharynx, the up- per part of the throat, directly into the middle cavity of the ear, just in- side the ear -drum. Air is forced through it by the act of swallowing, and thus the drum is inflated. Dis- ease of the middle ear, the common cause of deafness, generally arises from obstruction of this tube by adenoids or the extension through it of catarrhal inflammation, fluids or bacteria. The use of the nasal douche -is always attended with risk on this account, and the practice of diving, into either fresh or salt water, often proves injurious by per- n111tting the gasfla,ge of water directly the'ough the nostrils and Eustachian tube, When suppurtion has been astahlishecl In the middle ear, it is particniarly dangerous On account of its liability to involve the so-called mastoid cells, small cavities in the hone, and to extend from Brent to the brain, with the production of meningitis. Tliseaee of the twiddle ear is indi- cated by deafness, abnormal sounds, and especially by pain. Earache should never be disregarded. Pouring warm oil or glycerine and laudanum into the oar and the appllcatiou of heat afford temporary relief, but per- manent damage may be permitted to occur through the neglect of other treatment, When pus begins to flow from the ear the pain ceases, but the discharge signifies that the dr'tun membrane has been perforated, Young nitwits often stater needlessly from unrecognized earache, although they distinctly manifest the pain by pont/tont crying and tossing the head, and by staining the heed into the mouth or holding in to the region of the affected ear. The forcible entrance ot cold water during sect -loathing often causes in- flan/nation; hence a wed of non-ab- sorbent cotton or wool shotllrt al- ways be lltsertorl before entering the water. Injury is often tnfllatod also by attempting to remove accumulat- ed ear -Wax with silcli instruments as Bair -pins. It should be remembered, however, that a trivial injury, as by pulling or boxing the ears, some- times reveals, when it deem not cause deafness, and may throw unjust con- Mire on the one who Inflicted the punishn ent.-RouUi'e Companion.

Without new blood you will feel weals and languid; you may have twinges of rheumatism or neu- ralgia oceaslonal Headaches, a vari- able appetite, pimples or eruptions of the skin, or a pale, pasty corn- blexion. These are certain sii,'ale that the blood is out of order. The only euro way to get new blood and fresh anergy is to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, They actually make new, rich blood—they aro the greatest spring tonic in the world. Dr. Wil- liams ^ Pink Pi11e dear the skin, drive out disease and nutice tired, de- pressed men and woman blight, ac- tive stive and strong. Mr, Neil 11. Mc- Donald, Rstmere, N. B., says; "1t gives me great satisfaction to state that h have found Dr. Wiliianm:' Pink Palle all that is claimed for them. I was completely run down, my appe- tite was poor and I suffered much from severe headaches. Doctor's' medicine did not give me the needed relief, so I ctecided to try Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. I used only a few boxes when my former health re- turned, and now I feel like a new man." Dr, Williams' Pink Pills are not only the best spring tonic, hut are- a -cure for all troubles duo to poor blood or shaLter'ed nerves.

Workingmen. Sir Oliver Lodge recently went into the East -end of 'London and lectured to an audience of worlcingmen at the Toinboe lIall Settlement on "The Reality of the Unseen." By the un- seen, said the lecturer, he meant those things which did not directly appeal to the limited senses. The ant's view of life in its particular way probably was quite as wide as ours. Tile ant knew nothing of men and the higher animals, and in the same way the lecturer felt that we were not the highest things in the universe. "If you once grant that there is a race anywhere else higher in intelli- gence than we are," he said, "you have granted everything. The worm in his world is as oblivious of man as man is of snpor'ior intelligences. If the dome of SI,. Paul's were the sun, the earth relatively would be a football fn a position represented by this platform. The planet Jupiter would bo at 'Brighton and the near- est fixed star would be twice as far away as the moon. The light of one of triose fixed Mars, that at the tail of the great bear, was equal to 2,- 000 o1 our suns. That star is ono out of 500,000,000, and we are the people that inhabit one of the little dark lumps that circulate around ono of those stars; and we creep upon the surface of this little dark lump, 'can- ed the earth, and deny that there is anything in the universe higher than man, We should realize the universe is not an end but a beginning; that the present is only a transition be- tween what is past and what is to come." A GUARANTEE TO MOTHERS, There is only one medicine intended for use among infants and young children that gives mothers a guar- antee that it is free from opiates ancl poisonous soothing stuffs. That medicine is Baby's Own Tablets. Milton L. Hersey, M. Se., public an- alyst for the Province of Quebec, and demonstrator in chemistry for McGill University says; "I, Hereby certify that I have made a careful analysis of Baby's Own Tablets which I per- sonally purchased in a drug store in Montreal, and said analysis has fail- ed to detect the presence of any opi- ate or narcotic in them," These tab- lets cure all mirror ailments of little ones, such as teething troubles, si.lnr pie fevers, colds, constipation, diar- rhnea, colic and wor'nss, They stake little ones sleep naturally because they remove the cause of sleopless- nese. They are a boon to. all mo- thers and no home where theles are young children should be without a box of Baby's Own Tablets, Sold by all medicine stealers, or by snap at 25 cents a box from the Dr, Wil- liams' Medicine Co., ilrockville, Ont. r_ + LOOIC AP THE MOON.

Patent leather, calfskin, browns leather and gun metal kid—a leather with dull, black linish—aro the ma- terials for the walking shoes, but ealfskhl has a less loyal followings than in other seasons, even in the sphere of the outing and heavy walking tie or boot. Very dashing are the black and colored tulle hats on braid founda- tion. The shapes approximate to the shall, short -back sailor, and the tulle is put on in huge ruches and rosettes, - A chic bit of new-fashioucd neck-, wear is a soft handkerchief linen stock laid far three folds and over- worked with a very fine white braid 1n a conventional design. A tailored coat and skirt of linen is a practical thing if thoroughly shrunk before making and well tail- ored, though the eheap coat and skirt of linen are likely to be dis- tressing objects after their first tub- bing. The short skirt is not only "the" thing, but the very short skirt is worn by slender young matrons of the smart, set. These skirts clear the ground by five inches, and sometimes more, but it must be confessed that instead of the sensible and trim military -Heeled, heavy -soled walking sliow, they often wear the French healed, titin -soled creations that at first glance make the largest feet appear small and the small feet posi- tively too tiny to walls on. None of the new 'spring dress fa- brics have made more of an impres- sion than the checked and figured voiles, These beautiful fabrics afro being made up into street and house gowns in all kinds of simple and elaborate models, They are not made into shirt -waist suits to any great extent, but show quite a de- gree of elegance in their style. For the black hat, which is an in- dispensable part of the wardrobe to many women, nothing is more satis- factory than fine tulle and quite as becoming. Transparent black is bet- ter suited to most faces than solid black, Of shirt waist frocks In linen there is no end, and' many of the prettiest are fashioned from robe patterns, enrbro{desed in open work or - Eng- lish embroidery. In very fine ma- terial and design these, 'el course, come High, but surprisingly good patterns may be found at moderate prices. LIKE, OLD CRINOLINE. Fashionable women in London will wear during the summer of 1905 something very closely akin to that monstrosity of bygone clays—the crinoline. So large, indeed, are the quantities of wire and steel used by fashionable dressmakers in the manu- facture of the now spring skirts that there is same justification for the reported return of the dread crino- line. Under the skirt is an elaborate frame -work of wire and whalebone, very suggestive of the crinoline. This produces the full and outstanding ef- fect now aimed at by the leading French dressmakers. "In Paris quantities of wire and steel are absorbed in the making of all skirts of thin material," said a well-known court dressmaker. "For a full ten inches below the waist the skirt must fit like a glove, and this effect can only be obtained by the use of a whalebone encasement. Nine steels—about 7t feet in the upper part of a skirt is an ordinary allow- ance, but in the case of plaited skirts, every plait may require to bo hold le place by five whalebones, and in order to accelerate the straight line from the bust to the waist, which is a great feature of the new styles, a broad hand of steel is in- serted In the bodice, A single row of whalebone at the Bern, about eighteen fool;, ineuros the skirt stand- ing put, and above this are inserted several rows of wire, the quantity varying according to the texture of tlio material. In the case of a thin voile or crepe de chino dress from 108 to 150 feet would be necessary." SUNDAY LETTERS. Tho Belgian Post Ofiiee authorities have hit upon rather a good idea, Every postage -stamp has a slip at- tached to it which may, or may not be used at the option of the person who posts the letter, This slip is worded to the effect that the com- munication to which it is attached is not to be delivered On the Sunday. On all stamen or every denomination this notification is to be found, and the collsoquence is that there is growing up in Belgium a tendency in the -direction of ]laving no letters Or newspapers—for lxowspapevs are mostly delivered by post—on the Sunray, DID THEIR DUTY IN EVERY CASE HOW DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS BANISH PAM IN TSE BACK.

For that reason every evidence that there ire a surd and complete cure in existence is thankfully received. And there is abundant evidence that L'oad's Kid- ney 1'i11a is just such a cure. This district could furnish a dozen cures, but one is enough for an example. The one is that of Mrs, Jas. Mur- phy. She says; I sulTered for thirty-eight months with a pain in my back. I took just one box of Dodd's Kidney fills and I have never boon troubled with the Pain since, I also recommended 1odkh's Kidney Pills to other people, who complained as I did and in every case the Pills did their duty and brought relief." 'fBRUISERS" BY THE DAY, Protectors For Hire at a London Boxing School. There now exists in Bethnal Green an establishment where professional fighting men may be hired by timor- ous souls who desire "protection," says the London Express. Naturally, this emporium for the supply of "bruisers" is not openly advertised, and those who wish to seenro the services of a pugilist have to proceed by devious path's. Armed, however, witli satisfactory credentials, a representative of the 145159ress called on the proprietor of the business.—a gentleman of extreme- ly pugilistic appearance. At first the purveyor of 'bruisers" was inclined to be reticient, but presently he took the representative of the Express in- to his confidence. "You would be surprised," lie said impressively, "to know how many members of Parliament come to me for 'protection' during election time. They simply inform me, through their agents, how many men they need to secure their safety at meet- ings, and so forth, and I send down suitable men by train. When the general election conies we shall have our hands full, and not a man to spare. "Again, young gentlemen of the nobility, who have got into awkward positions and are likely to be black- mailed, seek my aid. If the man to be feared is a big man, I send a big mate; if he is a little man, Isend a little man; so that when it comes to the lighting there is no question of bullying. "All that my man requires is to be shown the man he has to deal with. He brushes against him in a bar or in the street; there is trouble —and there you aro. ,,"For this sort of job our prices are vory Tow, ranging from 5s. to ,£i, but, of course, there aro some branches of the business which come more expensive. "For instance, many bookmakers have two or three of my men always attached to them. Often, too, my lads are employed in law cases when witnesses have been intimidated. - I have supelied them both to plaintiff and defendant.

How the Far Eastern Boys Pre- pare for School. Among the eastern nations the be- ginning o-ginning of school life is a critical time for the child, Tho priest or as- trologer must be consulted to Choose a lucky day. Every precaution must be taken to avert the jealousy of the gods, whose malice is especially di- rected against a fine boy. The Chinese father who adores his son will tate the utmost pains to convince the powers of the air that the bey is of no account. The child may be given a despicable name, like flea, or Chu-tze, a pig, or, more in- sulting st111, he may be given a girl's name, The boy may be started elf to pelmet wearing a girl's dress and one earring, and if the deception ,is complete this will he the most ef- tedLuai of all, for even the gods do not care for girls in China, The Japanese schoolboy wears hanging from his belt a little red bag, containing a brass tag, with bis name and his parents' name and ad- dress upon it. He roust have his paper umbrella and his fan, and, in a gay bag upon his arm, is a jar of rico for his'luncheon. This quaint lit- tle fellow has probably made his of- fering at his own private shrine to Tenjinsen, the god of penmanship. When the I3indoo boy has found an auspicious day to begin se1ooh, he is taken to the god of learning, Sar- asvati. Here the little supplicant presents his offerings of rice and botehiuts, and repeats the letters of the alphabet after the priest. Thus is he entered into the ways ot know- ledge in the very presence of the god. "I heard you make use of the word 'jackass,' sir. Did you apply it to me?" 'No, sir, i didn't.
