The onuses of this stiff and prim on a chair while his ,trouble include overwork, mental aunt talked to the lady about all strain, worry, indiscretions, incl kinds of dull things, such as hats, sometimes it follows la grippe. The and books, and grown-up folic of signs of this trouble are uaeuaily whom he had never even heard. seat weakness a ter an exertion At last Dick felt he could stand nervous headaches, ytrembling no more of It. When his aunt a hands, shakiness in the legs, irrita- the lady were too busy with their bility of temper, weak digestive talk to see him he got down fromlpower, insomnia. The life df the his chair and stole out of the room sufferer beoc las full of miseries, into the next. There the table warn laid for tea, and two little pups who knew there were things that were good to eat upon the table were trying in vain to jump up on to it. Now Dick was a little boy with a very kind heart, so he put the two little pups on the table,and then stood to watch them as they first upset the jug of cream and licked it up off the cloth, and then began to make short work of a plate of cakes. The cakes looked so very good that Dick would have liked one, too, but he knew it was wrong to steal, so he went through the glass. door which led into a room full of flowers. It was very nice here, and Dick walked on till he came to a bowl of goldfish. By the side of the bowl sat a big cat, and as Dick came up she began to mew. "Poor puss," said Dick. "Do you want a fish for your teal" and he laid the bowl gently on its side, so that puss would be able to catch as many as she liked, for it really was so'very unkind of some one to have put the fish where she could not reach them. Then Dick saw a little bird in a cage. "Oh, ''y'ou poor little bird," he cried. "I am sure you must want to fly out into the fresh air." And he took the cage out into the garden and set the door open. The little gird flew away into the trees and Dick felt what a kind boy he was. The garden was full of flowers, so Dick went down the path to have a look at them. "But," he thought, "how it must hurt those roses and the pinks to be tied up to sticks like that," so "he took" his knife from his pocket and cut the twine with which each one was tied. Then he went on his way. Soon after this he came to a gate which led into a field, and in the field stood a little pony. When it saw Dick it 'ran up and put its head over the gate to him. "Do you want to come in said the boy. "Well, so you shall," and he threw open the gate. The pony at once ran through and began to race over the flower beds. Dick could see it was having a lovely time. A little time after Dick came to where some -young ducks were shut in by a wire fence. "You poor things " he said. "I am sure you cannot find much to eat there," and he let them out into the gar- den, where they began to gobble up every young greenplant they could find, and had such a feed as they never had before. Dick began to think that doing kind deeds was much more fun than sitting still in a chair, and besides, it made him feel so good. The Boy Scouts only had to.do one kind deed -in the day and he had done ever so many in less than an hour. Were there any more to be, done 7 and Dick began to look around; but just then he hoard his aunt's voice calling to him that it was time to go home. On the way he told her of all the kind deeds he had done, and he could not make out why just at that moment his aunt seemed to be taken ill, almost as if she would faint, or why she seized hold of his arm and cried, "Come along home as quick as you can, and let 'us hope she will never,never find out who hat done it." • Dick thought this was not very kind, for though he knew it was not right to boast of one's good deeds he could not see there was any need to hide them up as much as all that. 3• Pigeons in Medical Work.

If one of his patients needs ntedieiue immediately he writes out 8pres- cription, and by means of the birds forwards it to his surgery, Mere. an Assistant gots the message, pre- pares tho r'e-pares.tho prescription,. and des- patches the medicine.

NERVOUS TROUBLES ON THE INCREASE They Aro line to an Impoverished ()audition of the Blood Nervous exhaustion—or neuras- thenia, as medical men call itis The true treatment for this trou- ble mast consist df a building up process, for the above signs mean that the exhausted nerves are call- ing for more nourishment from the blood supply. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills make new, rich blood that feeds the starved complaining nerves, and in this way they have oared' thou.sancis of times neuras- thenia, neuralgia, and other ner- vous disorders, and have restored strength and nerve -energy to de- spairing people. Mrs. Isaac Wil- son, C.alabogie, Ont., gives thanks for having' been restored to health through -tie use 'of "this medicine, she says : "When I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I was a nes your wreck; I couldn't do my work, could not sleep at night, suffered from nervous headaches, and the least noise would completely upset me. Only diose who have suffered fromnervoustrouble can tell what I endured. I doctored for a time,. but did not get any benefit. Then' I learned of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and sent for a half dozen boxes. Bythe time I had used these I was almost well, and a cou- ple more boxes completely restored My health, and I have had no. re- turn of the trouble. I can obese. - fully recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to those who suffered from any form of nervous trouble."

That the Mexican .farmer is not the slow thinking, lazy person the average stranger imagines is illus- trated by an ingeniously devised well constructed by a farmer living near a little town just aoross, the boundry line. The natives seldom go far away from their homes and they have very primitive ideas and customs. This well is about fifty feet deep and the owner has built a curious device for hauling water from it. If this Mexican had been an educated man he might have been an inventor. A tree flourished near the well which had two branchesgrowing out of the trunk. These boughs separated into four branches higher up. The Mexican out the branches in such a way, that they formed a perfect rest for a long well sweep. He fastened the sweep to a cross- bar laid across the two upper branches in the middle, using stout thongs for the purpose. Then he fastened a weight on one end of the sweep and a long rope to the other end. The bucket is fastened to the end of this long rope, and all he has to do is to lower the bucket into the well. The weight of the stone pulls it up again, brimming full. FROM ERIN'S GREEN ISLE NEWS ET MAIL PROM IRE. LAND'S SHORES.' Happenings In the Emerald Isle o) Interest to Irish. men.

Work Begun Under Napoleon III, Average Life 40 Years, When the Parisian work of tree planting on a groat toile was be- gun under the reign of the ill-fated third Napoleon, holes five feet in depth were dug in the parkways along the streets, . They showed that the 'toil conditions were not favorable to tree 'growth. It was sandy and pebbly, and at the depth of five feet an impenetrable layer of hard clay was -encountered, Bub Paris was determined to have trees, A trench 10 feet in length was dug about the site of each new tree and filled with rich, black dirt. Then in the municipal nur- series the young trees wore pruned and trained to grow their roots horigoutally instead of straight down, so that they might get the needed nourishment from the layer of rich dirt provided. As a conse- quence of that good start and of the continuing dare which is exer- cised, the trees of Paris are, per- haps, the finest in the world, and their average life is nearly 40 years. The Value of Happiness. There is no duty so much under- rated as that of being happy.

If you take a saw and hold it at right angles with the wind, teeth upward, and look along the tipt of the teeth, you can see the wind streaming by and through the lit- tle notches lust like a flowing stream.' The explanation, Says Mr. Lawrence Hodges, must be pract- ically the same as for the little streams of wriggly air we some- times see over our radiators; that is, that the air is ,broken up into currents of different densities, and, consequently, light coining through these currents is bent to our eye 'and their form noted. The wind, `coming with tone force," is inter- rupted by the saw, and ,this com- pressed or dense air • streams through the notches, The form of the stream is visible to us by the refraction or bending of the light that reaches our eyes from objects or , particles seen through the streams, When your razor' le dull as a hos, ask your wife if she wasn't paring her corns; Get her Putnam's Corn Extractor; it's the only painless and safe cure: All 'dealers sell "Putnam's" at 25e. per bottle.
