"Listen to this,' he said, opening the periodical.

Ills face glowed ae he exclaimed: "Isn't that wonderful?" "It is," I agreed. "Would you like to �-• reed more by the same author?' Ire nodded, and I banded him my Bible that lay on my desk. He stared at me. 'You don't mean to say that's from the Bible?" I nodded and opened the book at the twelfth chapter of Ecclesiastes and he read; "Remember now thy Creator In the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh when thou -shalt aay, I have no pleasure in them." "I didn't know that was In the Bible," he eald quietly. "Are there any more Passages like that?" I turned to the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah and then passed on ta-'other beautiful paseages both of the Old Testament and of the New. He listen- ed to them eagerly. A. few days ago he said to me: "I'm: going to church now,' Ile had found his God again through reading the Bible.

The symp-; able to the food. A child which isle s toms of debility vary, but weakness is always present, often a tendency to be easily fatigued, spots passing before the eyes, weak back, dizziness, wake- fulness caused by inability to.stop thinking, and unrefreshing sleep. Mr, Lorenzo. L. Gamache, Rockland, Ont., was a severe sufferer from this trouble and tells how he found release. He says:—"Two years ago I was in that condition which medical men call general dejelity, I made periodical visits to Montreal for fourteen months to undergo electric treatment. At the end of this time I was feeling well and thought with proper care I would con- tinue in good health. But in the course of a month or so. the symptoms came back more acute than ever, I lost ap- petite and could hardly sleep during the night, and what sleep I had was many cigars may res s disturbed with nightmares. I had headaches and the least effort was telling on my nerves. I always felt Pains somewhere, and, had to lose much time. After suffering for three months, trying various things without good. results, I was terribly depressed and disheartened. One day I met a friend who noted how pale and thin I was and he so strongly recommended Dr. Williams' Pink PilIe that I deter- mined to give them a fair trial. I got six boxes and began the treatment at once. After I had taken four boxes I began to notice an improvement in my health. I could sleep better, and I scarcely had a headache. Since that time my health has been steadily im- proving and now I feel just as well as ever. I have gained twenty pounds since I began the treatment. Now 1 would not be without Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the home, and strongly recommend them to all who suffer from a depressed system and the aches that follow:" You can get these pills through any medicine dealer, or by mall at 60 cts. a box or six boxes for 22.60 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockvile, EASILY FATIGUED S O ..

A child which is habitually disobedient or refractory to discipline may become quite the op- posite as a result of better nutrition, These facts with reference to nutri- tion illustrate one of the means of controlling what has been placed in our hands in developing personality in ourselves and in our children, Many a man is irritable and objec- tionable because he does not know how to eat or what to eat. Too much meat may lead to forms of intestinal intoxi- cation; too much coffee may make one nervous and easily irritated; toy b k down one' health slowly and insiduottsly and may completely transform a man who otherwise is of a sweet and gentle disposition into one who has—as we say—a disagreeable personality.

In a certain dis- trict in north-eastern Ontario there are three men, two of them clergymen and the third a teacher, who all use the same fur coat. In making long trips in the cold season they have to arrange It in such a way that the man going on the longest drive gets the use of the coat while the others stay at home tillhe returns. Their business, and especially the rural work they are doing, makes the possesaion of a fur coat a neceeeity more than a luxury, and yet, as one of them remarked they never had enough cash at one time to purchase such an expensive article. —J J K.

A second assistant, who is hid- den, bas an important part in the secret. He holds one end of a elle. thread. The other terminates in a bit of wax by which it Is attached to a chairback.' After he is blind- folded, the trickster gets this bit of wax In his hand. While he ap- pears to emeentrate he mentions [leveret n'Jmbers, apparently at random.

"No sheep, teacher," answered a tow -headed little lass of ten summers. "0h, no!" cried the city young wo- man, reproachfully; 'You are not so stupid as that! Think again. If there were ten sheep on one side of the fence and one cheep Jumped over, nine sheep would be. left. Don't you sea that?" "No! not no!" persisted the child. "If one sheep Jumped over, all the others would jump after it. My father keeps sheep " Then, seeing the puzzled look on the teacher's face, the little tow -bead ex- plained apologetically: "You know 'rithmetic, miss, but I know sheep." All the Winners, As the clergyman stepped off the bus a newsboy thrust a paper under his nose and shouted, "All the winners, sir."
