The high priest of Babylonia and Egypt, 8,000 years and more ago, had a considerable lab ti • is ](new]ed g o of astrono- my; my; but, leaving out agll0at10n the few thus learned in science, creation to the ancients was a three-story af- fair, or rather two stories and a cel- lar, the latter being the abode of the dead while on the second floor, orna- mentally beepangled with Stara, dwelt the gods. Earth, of course, was flat. The sun passed across the heavens once in every twenty-four hours, and, going under, appeared again in the oast next morning, There wee also the moon, which had a similar habit; and that eats about all there was of the cosmos. Since then our ideas on the subject have vastly expanded, and now, in view of recent discoveries, they seem destined .10 expand enormously be- yond anything hitherto hnagilled.

Many women who had a good color In their girlhood grow pale and color- less olorless when they become wives and mothers, When the fading color in the cheeps and lips 113 accompanied by a loss of brightness in the eyes and an increasing heaviness in the step, the cause will be found in the state of the blood, Many causes contribute to the con- dition of the blood known as anaemia. Overwork in the home, a lack of out- door exercise, insufficient rest and sleep, improper diet—these are a few of then, The Important thing is to restore the blood to normal, t,o build it up so that the color will return to cheeps and lips, brightness to the eyes and lightness to the step. Dr. Wil- lianas' Pink Pills are the great blood builder and nerve strengthener, They begin with the very first dose, and through a fair use make new blood that carries strength and health to every part of the body. The appetite Increases, digestion becomes more Perfect and energy and ambition re- turn. 'Tile case of Mrs. Wm. McNish, Abbott Street, Brockville, proves the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this ]rind. Mrs. McNish says: "I was quite young when I married, and in raising my family I became all run down and a nervous wreck. I be- came so weak that I could hardly walk across the floor without sitting down to get my breath. I slept poorly and at times my nerves would twitch 50 that I could not keep still, and I was in constant misery. I trled many medicines but they did not help me; indeed my condition was growing worse, until one day a friend told me that she had been in s, somewhat simi- si,;cr pltect:, of course, go with it. lar condition and had been helped by Astronomers in tl.e course of con- Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, so I decided thee a have actually been able to ob- eolvo Ill`s? movement, by the closer tet-he:it:g of eters in the 81311'0 walte 1.1 '1 t'la WI:1Ci11ng Gilt of COnatellatiela ell --just a) might be noticed to try this medicine.

From this point. of vantage he could see the flock on a piece of level ground scarcely fifty yards bolow him, The sbeep were crowded into a swaying, excited circle some twenty Rent in diameter, Presently, while the sheep were standing still, a big wathor made a spring, landed with his feet in the Very centre of the ring and bounced away like a rubber ball, 'In a flash an- other followed his load, and anothoy until ail had leaped 011 the same spot.

A woman --Joan of Arc --saved France from becoming part of Britain, and another woman, 'Catherine the Great, set Russia among the na- tions. s g tions. There are more women inventors than mon, and more female teachers than male. It is admitted that women have far greater moral courage than men, and it Is a very moot point as to whether they have not greater physical cour- age. - On the stage, and in the world of song, women reign supreme. And let it be remembered that women stood nearest to the cross on Calvary, and were first at the obey tomb on Easter morn. :ama The "Weaker" Sex.. If it Is charged ag thn( women that their kali' weighs lees that the main brain, the quality of the imitate brain Is unlet( higher than the male, background is destitute of vete of the most valuable meta. It is not newS that most hcusehoida live at peace and in equity behind closed doors, and eo it Is qu:at•reis and murders that Sind their way into the newspapers preferentially, Could wo but see at close range how most families lead their lives we should be reassured, and wo should not become cynical because of the minority of dismal failures in mar- riage ruga and parenthood. The foundation -stone of society is tho happy family, It Is a family in which a Oran hand of discipline con- trols the growing child; in which children's rights are recognized and still a respect for the eiders le incul- cated and insisted upon. It Is a family which knows how its own members spend their days and where they aro. Children and parents do not meet as strangers at the table now and then. Pleasures and sorrows are shared like food or labor or any other blessing. There 1s no family life where the heads of the household are not defer- ential to each other. No contagion spreads so fast as that of disrespect. If husband and wife are querulous or caustic, so runs the tuna of all the household. Tho children will follow the deplorable pattern. Much of the Pleasure of life is in the reminiscence; and there is nothing wo remember more gladly than the affection evident between our parents, who were lover's to the last. In a time of upheavals and varying standards, when civiliza- tion seems to stand on the debatable ground and the pillars of the social or- der threaten to collapse, we need to consider the part that the home playa and the duty of each individual in the home. Tho country at large will have no higher character than that which the ethics and ideals of its homes es- tablish. Sweeten and purify domestic existence and a cleansing wind blows through the nation. The life of those who one by one compose a family Is linked with the upward struggle of the race, and in the family one learns the meaning and the utility of consent and common action, for the good of all. The Self -Reliant Raven. Tho literary history of the raven be- gins with Noah and Elijah. Natural- ists call him "the most wary, the most amusing, the cleverest of birds." He has also been described as grave, dig- nified, and sedate, and many instances have been given of the peculiarities of this historical bird. The bill of the raven is a formidable weapon, strong, stout, sharp at the edges, curved toward the tip. It is his -one weapon of offence, but it answers the purpose of two or three. Like the dirk of the old time plainsman it is equally available as a dagger or as a carving knife. It can also be used as a pair of pincers. It can kill a rat at one blow. The raven can drive its beak right through the spines of a hedgehog. It is said that the raven 'will never. attack a man. If this be true, it le, it is thought, not so much from any defect of courage as from the bird's keen intellectual perception of what will pay and what w111 not. Like most of his tribe, the raven is, in the strictest sense of the word, omnivorous. His dietary ranges from "a worm to a whale." - When his nest is built, es it general- ly is, beneath some overhanging rock which quite conceals it from view from above, its position may some- times be discovered by the remains of rabbit neatly laid in the short grass at the top of the cliff in what might be called his "larder:" But a larder im- plies an amount of economy and sett - restraint that it is not in the raven to practise. In districts where food is scarce the ravens will attack without scruple a. newly born lamb or even a sheep that has been cast, The raven has a passion for soli- tude. He will tolerate no rival, not even his own offspring, in the neigh- borhood of his throne. IIo drives them ruthlessly away as seen as they are able to shift for themselves, Are Handkerchiefs Dan- gerous? When you have been suffering from e bad cold have you ,noticed what a long time it hangs about? The handkerchief is responsible, for each time you use it you reinfect your- self. No one would think of cleansing a wound and then replacing the dirty bandage on it, yet that is what we do when we continue to use the same handlterchlef for a cold. The power of eucalyptus to kill the germ is well known, and a handiter- chief liberally Supplied with it is ren- de•eel as hearty disinfected as pee- sIbio, conSidoring that the handltor- chief is repeatedly used. Unfortunate„ ly, so many people 01011110 it, I have discovered that by r-aing oucalypttte on a supply of paper hanct- kerchlefs, lv11011 use11 once only and destroyed, a bad cold can be cured within a very few days, for by this treatment every applieatiol of the handkerchief to the nose carries' with it fresh disinfectant, and being used once only no reinfection can possibly tante place. A clean, properly Main - footed honclkotehief is of the greatest value to uso foe breathing Ibr'ongli where there 1a dust, bad smells, or in- fection of 1111y itind. HEALTHY CHILDREN ARE HAPPY CHILDREN The well child is always a happy child—it is a baby's nature to be hap- py and contented. Mothers, if your little ones are cross and peevish and cry a groat deal they are not well— they are in need of medicine—some. thing that will set their bowels and stomach in order, for nine -tenths of all childhood ailments arise from a disordered state of the bowels and stomach. Such a medicine is Baby's Own Tablets, They are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomaclt, and thus drive out constipation, colic, indiges- tion; break up colds and simple fevers and make the baby healthy and happy. Concerning them, Mrs, Albert Hamel, Pierreville, Que., writes;—"Baby's Own Tablets aro the best medicine I know of for little ones. They relieved my little girl from constipation when nothing else would and I can strongly recommend them to other mothers," The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
