WATSON & CO., New York `CANADA'S OLDEST A PHONIC En THE NERVES' �. SETTLEMENT The Only Rent Nerve Tonle is a ANNAPOLIS ROYAL WAS FOUNDED IN 1604. Nova Scotia, Famed For Its Beauty, Has a Long and Stirring History. Nova Scotia has been the name of a territorial division of North Ameri- ca since 1624. It was held by the French and einglieh alternately until 1710, when it was taken by the forces under General Nicholson. Its history is rich in pic'.ture sena incidents and etrihiug personality, The rivalry of La Tour and C'harnlsay has inspired long and stony. Longfellow, by his "Evangeline,' made Nova Scotia clas- sic ground; Annapolis Royal, found- ed 1604, is the oldest settlement in Canada. 13ut Nova Scotia was first in other things, Tt had the first news- paper, the first local legislature, the first college, and the first provincial history in Canada. Being settled first of the English-speaking provinces, it developed the first Anglo -Canadian literature. "The Clock -Maker" made Haliburton famous, appearing first as sketches In Ilowe's paper "The Nova Scotian." The Land of Evangeline. Nova Siotia has a provincial flag bearing the Arms or Scotland, a pro- vincial flower—the Mayflower, or Trailing Arbutus, and a provincial name for Its people, "Bluenoses." The province is made up of beauty spots, the most famous being the Annapolis Valley, traversed by the Dominion At- lantic Rahway, and Cape Breton, the scenery in the latter place being'11Ice the Highlands of Scotland. This, taken with the Scottish origin of so many of the population, no doubt in- spired the epithet "the Nova Scotia- ness of Nova ScotIa." The old capital was Annapolis Royal, In 1740, a new capital, Hali- fax, named in honor of the Earl of Halifax, was founded by Colonel Ed- ward Cornwallis, uncle of the general who surrendered at Yorktown, on the shore of Chehnrto Bay, "Chief of Havens," to counterpoise the French City of Louisburg in Cape Breton. The harbor is one of the beat in the world, and the fortifications the most important In Canada. The port was of immense service during the war. Its sea -borne trade is rapidly increasing. Its population is about 63,000. The increasing throng of tourists that yearly visits the beautiful Lanil of Evangeline ins recently led to the acquisition by the Dominion Atlantic Railway of a furtlier comfortable hotel, Tho Aberdeen, at Iientville, to those already operated by that Com- pany. Sounding the Skey. ' A French astronomer has proposed using solhe of the biggest gnus cap- tured from the Germans as a means of sounding the higher strata of the earth's atmosphere. He would take "Big Bertha," mount it vertically, and shoot from it projectiles carrying ap- paratus for recording the air pressure and other conditions at great alti- tudes. "Big Bertha" fired a shell weighing 484 lb., with au' initial velocity of over 5,000 feet a second. Such a shell, fired vertically would travel 258,000 feet into the air, or nearly fifty miles, says "Everyday Science." As our at- mosphere is believed to be only forty - live utiles in depth, some highly in- teresting facts might be recorded by the apparatus, provided that the gun oau be fired vertically and that the apparatus survives the shock of the shell's return to earth, when, it would be falling at the rate of 1,666 feet a second. The shell would rottirn to earth, although it did penetrate beyond the limits of the earth's atmosphere. But. given. a "Bigger Bertha," with a muz- zle velocity of 26,000 feet a second, or five times as great, a shell fired from such a gun would never return. It would become a satellite of the earth, revolving round it like the moon. • How Mr. Giraffe Faces His Enemy. The giraffe has neither claws nor beak nor sharp teeth with which to defend itself or to attack its enemies: so when it ie out of temper with one of its own kind it does not attempt to disombowoi its adversary, aa a rhin- oceros might, or tear it, as a tiger would. Bat nature hag given it a long and pliable nock, which terrain• ates in a very solid head, and 1t uses the upper part of itself like a flail, swinging its head down at each swing with a thump oh its antagonist. The othor combatant uses precisely the same tactics, and the two animals, planting themselves as firmly as pos- elbio by stretching out all four legs to the utmost, stand opposite to each other and hammer away with their heads until one or the other has had enough. Jews of the World. The Jewish population of the world is 15,430,000, according to David Trite - tech, the well-known Jewish statist, elan. Poland and the 1Jkralne each have 3,300,000, while there are 3,100,- 000 In tho United States, 900,000 in Attests, and 300,000 in the I9ritsit lesle9 Good Supply of Rich, Red Blood. "If pooplo would only a/tend to their bleed, instead of worrying them- selves ill," said an eminent nerve spoolallat, "we doctors would not see our consulting rooms crowded with nervous wrecks, Moro people ander from worry than anything else." The sort of thing which the special - let spoke of is the nervous, run -Clown couditioa caused by overwork and the many anxieties of to -day. Sufferers rind themselves tired, morose, tow - spirited, and unable to keep their milds un anything, Any sudden noise hurts like a blow. They are full of groundless fears, and do not sleep well at night. Headaches, neurits and other nerve pains are part of the misery, and it all conies Irene starved nerves. Doctoring the nerves with poisonous sedatives is a terrible mistake. The only real nerve tonic is a good supply of rich, red blood. Therefore tc cure nervousness and run-down health Dr, Williams' Pink Pills should be taken. These pills actually make new, rich blood, which strengthens the nervus, improves the appetite, gives now strength dald spirits, and makes hitherto despondent people bright and cheerful. If you are at all "out of sorts" you should begin curing your- self to -day by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mat at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. New Food Container for the Trenches. During the late war one 01 the com- monest difficulties with which the soldier in the trenches had to contend was that of preserving his food from the depredations of rats and the con- taminating attentions of flies. To overcome this difficulty, Mr, E, A. Dennis, who spent four and a quarter years with the N.Z.E,F„ has invented a tin receptacle for food which exact- ly fits into an ordinary mess -tit. The ends of this food -container are pro- vided with four lever -topped vessels, -for butter, milk, jam, and condiments respectively, while the middle porton is available for other foods. At the end of a march the new food -recep- tacle, which is called the "Campaign- er," could be taken out of the mess - tin, leaving the latter clear for the protection of the iron rations from rats. The system would also allow of jam, margarine, and milk being issued in lever -topped vessels which would 11t the "Campaigner," tincts arpreclabiy I simplifying having to servo out ra- bone Iran, bulli, he would sin'.ely is, sue the necessary vessels to eueli neap I every otto, two, or throe dugs. "Rejoice, and Again I Say, Rejoice." My song shall be of birds and fiowere And all the lovely thitge of earth; The little leaves that clap their hands, The health and wholesomeness of mirth; The wonder in a baby's eyes, The clinging chap of Loving hands; The glue of frolic waves, that chase Noah other up the golden sands. The morning stars together sang When this old earth of ours was young; 'Tis we have lost the 'hearing ear,' Not they who leave their songs un- sung, Some pouts dip their pons to tears, And some in wormwood and In gall: With ov'ry 'bush afire with God; And love the banner over all! Oh, were my quill a feather dropp'd From some bright angel to his flight, My muse might soar on higher wing To spread the gospel of delight! Canadian N. W. M. P. Renamed. Canada's famous law -enforcing or- ganization, known since 1873, the year of its establiehmont, as the Canadian North West Mounted Police, has been renamed, and is about to undergo other important changes. The new ap- pellation is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Plans are being made to move the headquarters of the force from Regina, Sask., where they have been located for 37 years, to Of, awe, and to increase the size of the territory to be patrolled by the scar- let-olad officers.

Tho deep music of a deerhound's voice came faintly down the wind, shortly it blended with the sharper voice of a hunting Airedale. Tho scream of a hungry cougar is not more terrifying to the timid deer of the British Columbia coast than the bay of the hounds on the trail. When they hear it they get up and go— straight for water. The little spike buck, born a few seasons before on the rugged, forest - clad coast of the Pacific province, lifted his head. His eyes and his ears, his very pose displayed the high ten - son of his taut nerves. He looked in- to the forest of the island on which he stood, and he saw nothing alarm- ing. He turned and stared across the water toward Nelson Island. The only thing that caught his eye that did not denote restful nature in primitive grandeur was a smudge of smoke that smeared the horizon and ahowed that a C.P.R. coasting steamer was out- bound from Powell River. Then the boons of the hound's voice rolled again across the waters, from Nelson Island. The deer moved nervously, looked all round again—and calmly hent his head to bite a mouthful of grass, He was safe, He Was on Hardy Island. Hardy bland is the city of refuge to all the deer that know about it. Three years ago it was good hunting grounds. To -day it is taboo to men with guns, and hell pops, as the say- ing goes, if mon with both guns and dogs appear. It is unlawful to bunt deer with dogs in British Columbia, but it is still done in certain districts, in spite of law. Two years ago, or Perhaps slightly more than that, Mr. C. J. Leyland of England purchased Hardy Island, a gem of land situated just off Nelson Island at the mouth of Jervis Inlet, Ho bought it to ex- periment with Iritish trees in the 13,C. climate, There were 2,500 acres of rich lands and forests, and there was a good orchard. He placed a watchman, Tom Brazil, on the proper- ty, and did no more toward develop- ment, preferring to await the end of the war. Brazil, a lover of annuals, caught two of the wild deer that fre- quently swam to the island from the other nearby lauds. Ile tamed them, They In turn brought other wild ones. Many of them had been run to water by dogs and took refuge on,Hardy Is- land. There, seeing how intimate the original tame pair were with the man who controlled the orchards where the luscious apples grew, the wild newcomers gradually grew intimate too. To -day a herd of thirty deer, moat of them born in wildness, re- spond to the voice of Tom Brazil when he calls. Some of them will step for- ward from the herd when called by name. They have no fear lit all of nhau, when on Hardy Leland. Some- times they swim to other parts of the coast, and range about it bit, but they come back, often fagged from some fierce run and swim, Tom Brazil's herd is hemming a by- word on the coast, but no dog and no man dare brave what might happen should he try to hunt on the island of refuge, So the deer are fat, are bring- ing new little lives into the world, and are adding to their numbers by recruit volunteers from the wild ranges where such safety is not known:--L,V.K. %mart's Sdpiment Cures Distemper.
