Tom recognized least once. ,She was a very dainty little creature, not more than 'a foot in height; her hair was golden ; her eyea (blue as for- get -me -nota. ' She was dressed in green, and -Carried a Tittle wand of gold in her hand. "So there are fairies, after ails'(" said Teen, aster a moment's hesiita- tion. The fairy laughed, add ib w S like a little ,silver bell ringing. "What a funny question to ask," she said, "'when you Aire loo king at nee all the time." "We'll," said Tom, "fatiher says •there aren't, and he ought to know." The fairy laughed again. "Oh, of course, grown-up people sayy there aren't any fairies, but, you know the reason why they say so, don't you, Toon Z" "No, I don't," said Tom. "Why, it's because of the Magic Haze," said the fairy. "The magio.w+hat V' said•To+m. "The Magic Haze. It hangs joist four feet above the ground every- where." "But I can't see it,"- said Tom, looking up. "No, of course you can't," said the fairy. "You can't see the air, can you Z" "No," said Tom. "But it's there will the time, isn't it?" said the fairy. "Yes, I suppose it is," said Tom. "Well, in the same; way," con- tinued the fairy, "you can't see iihe Magic Blaze ; but it's there four feet above the ground; you who are un- derneath it can see me and can see any fairy ; you are in fairyland all the time, and, in fact, belong to it. Now the grown-up people who are above the haze via look down through it, of course, but it has this effect on their sight; they never see fairies again; nevermore eau they look into Fairyland." "All of them " said Tom, with his eyes wide with interest. "Well, no," •said the fairy. "Some of them will sometimes play with children like you; they will get down along with you, and frolic albotib; and thew, of course, they are under <,the haze, and are in Fairyland once more." "And when people are only just four feet high, like Jack," said Tom, "what happens to them then ?" "Why," said the fairy, "they be- lieve in fairies one minute, and they don't the next. They don't really know what to believe; they are in a haze, you see:" "Yes, of course," said Tom; "but don't the grown -tip people ever kick against you and hurt you? They couldn't help ib if they did, be- cause they can't see you." The fairy laughed .merrily. "Have you ever tried to catch lightning, Tom ?" "No," said Tom ; "I shouldn't like to try." • "Well," said the fairy, "it would be just as impossible for any of you to catch a fairy, or in any way in- jure one. Why, we can travel fast- er than you eau think. Some of your grown-up people come striding in among us sometimes when we are dancing round ours green rings high up on the moorland, but they don't touch us. When they are in the act of putting a foot down we are gone like a. hash, and when they have passed are back again like a flash again." Juste at this moment Tom's father sauntered down the garden. "Hullo, sonny," he said, "who's that you are talking to there?" Tons took his father by the coat, and, pointing to the fairy, said, "Why, it's a Dairy, father, 'Can't you see her?" His father threw hack his head and laughed loudly. "That, Tom l Ha! ha! ,That's a cabbage stump, TOM!" The •hairy smiled at Tom. waved her hand, and disappeared, A Modest Mere.

Williams' Pink Pills; Neuralgia is not disease—it 10 only a symptom, but e, most painful one. It is the surest sign that your blood is weak, watery 'and impure, And that for this reason your nerves are literally starving. Bad blood is the sole cause of the piereing Paine 01 neuralgia—good doh bloat] is the only cure. In this you have. the reason why Dr. Williams' Fink Pills cure neuralgia, They are the only medicine that contain in the correct proportions the elements needed to make rich, red blood. This rich blood reaches the root of the trouble, soothes' the jangled nerves, drives• away the nagging, stabbing pain 'and braces up your health in other ways as well. Here is proof—Mr. 0. J. Lee, Vatchell, Ont;, says :—"For several years T was troubled et intervals with neu- ralgia in the head and chest. The pain I suffered at times was most intense. I was continually doctor- ing for the trouble, but found noth- ing to give ire permanent relief un- til I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 'shanks to this medicine nay blood has been restored' to a healthy condition and every symp- tom of the trouble has disappeared. I can therefore, with confidence, recommend Dr. Willianns' Pink Pills to all who suffer from the fierce pains of neuralgia." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 oents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams'- Medicine Co., Brockville,' Ont. nuallyr according to the Sydney re-.. port, Now this la astonishing information. The antipodes are to .be coagulated, For yoare we have been hearing about their pest Of rabbits. Australians have long viewed with gloom •tile overrun.- ning of their continent. It wee sixty years ago, or so, that an incautious gentleman of New South Wales obtained from Europe, and turned loose in the colony, three pairs of rabbits. As the population and wealth of Australia increased, the rab- bits increased, and more than corre- spondingly. Until recently it had been a tremendous problem how to eheok them—to say nothing of ;exter- mination. They drove farmers from their lander and have threatened such devastation as has not been known sinee the succession of plagues para. lyzed Egypt. Travellers report that rabbit proof fence are characteristic of the Australian landscape. Some years ago an attempt was made to spread a parasitic epidemic among them. But the pensive rabbit multi- plied "faster than the germs. The Australian have found a way at last. They have solved the exas- perating riddle by turning the rabbits to profit, A, demand for rabbit has been created in the world's marts, it appears, especially for the skins. What was once a nuisance, and a de- struotive one, is found to be market- able. This is merely another illustration, of course, of an industrial miracle with which we are familiar—the utile lzation of what has been thought use- less, the working up of a by-product into something of commercial value. The rabbit .resources of Australia are probably inexhaustible. It will be some time, at any rate, before the country will need to take measures to conserve the supply, even with the liveliest demand. Meanwhile, the happy situation le that the Australians are able to sell what they have plenty of, and do not want to keep—what, in- deed, they would hitherto have been glad to pay to get"rld of. Such luck Is enough to make the celebrated Aus- tralian bird, the laughing jackass, split its sides with laughter, and the kangaroo leapfor joy. P HARD WORK COALING A SHIP. • British Crews Can Load 1,000 Tone In Three Hours. .Although the exigencies of war may demand a vessel shall be coaled at sea, this indispensable duty is almost invariably carried out in port. A super -Dreadnought of 27,000 tons dis- placement, and with a maximum steaming speed of 28 knots, is avari- cious in regard to fuel. Speed is vital to a warship nowadays, and the price for this speed must be paid./ When one considers that, under full work- ing conditions, a super -Dreadnought, such as the "Lion" or "Princess Royal," will consume a round 1,000 tons of coal during the twenty-four hours—approximately one ton every one-and-ahalf minutes—one is able to obtain some tangible idea of the fuel bill which a nation such as the British Empire has to be prepared to face to keep its fleet in being. • "Coaling ship" is the dirtiest oper- ation in the round of toil upon a war- ship, but Jack is irrepressible. To him coaling. although it is indescribably filthy e although the finely divided dust persistently penetrates every crack and crevice of the quarters; al- though l - thou h it clogs the po:es et the skn Reds i way othe lungs, and threat- ens is a t .the t Yg, ens asphyxiations every succeeding moment; and although it entails colli- sions between various parts of his physical anatomy and unyielding parts of the ship, is merely sport. • Why can it sport? This• 10 the ob- vious' (inseam of the uninitiated. Ask Jack and he will tell you the reason —he is out to establish a record. The crew of one of His Majesty's super - Dreadnought's is crowing far and wide over the fact that they took in a 1,000 tons of coal In three hours something—an unprecedented achieve- ment. Instantly the crew of . every other vessel in the navy is on . its mettle. It will lower that record by hook or by crook. When the crew is piped to "coal ship," the first and imperative pre- liminary is to encase the guns in overcoats, fasten down all hatches, and to make the livhig quarters as tight as a drum against the..pervad- ing coal dust. When the command to. commence is given the Tars buckle into their task with a zest which is amazing. The coal is bagged, whisk- ed aboard, and the sacks disappear to be discharged into the bunkers in a never-ending stream. ,. It Is somewhat strange to observe the extent to which the coal consump- tion, even among sister ships, varies. Some vessels are hungrier than oth- ers—"coal-eaters" the engineer calls them. Thus the original Dreadnought of 20-21 knots devours fuel greedily' at i low speed, On the other hand, when under full power she is economical, and when the engines are developing 6,000 horsepower, which is adequate to give a speed of 13 knots, the con- sumption is about one ton every elev- en minutes; at double the horsepower a ton of fuel disappears into the fur- naces every five -and -a -half minutes; When going at full speed one ton of coal has to bo shovelled every three - and -a -half minutes.' The "Princess Royal" and "Lion,'. displacing 26,150 tons and having a speed of 28 knots, consume on the average, under full i t i approximately steal' coalof st , app y 40. tons per hour. Some idea of the huge dimensions and' area of the furnaces of the Flagship of the Grand' Pleet may be .gathered from the fact that it takes a round 500 tons to lay het fires. •H MYRIADS OF RABBITS.

A description of the soldier's monthly"'offioial bath" is sent from the front by a member of a London Scottish regiment: "Yesterday we had a novel ex - experience," " none of erienee hese s. Asan P , y us had seen soap or warm water for over five weeks, we were ordered to take an official bath. We were taken to a town in the rear of our lines and escorted to a large build- ing, where facilities had been ar- ranged for the purpose. In the first room we were numbered off into squads of ten men or so. In a second room we emptied our pock- ets and laid aside our boots, bon- nets, puttees, and sporans. In a third room we threw the rest of our clothes into a heap, and then made a double-quick to the showers. There were two men to each shower, and we were allowed ten minutes under the hot water, with a gener- ous supply of laundry soap. "At the end of our ten minutes, we hurried on to a drying -room, where each man got a huge towel as thick and rough as a carpet, Then we rushed off to a dressing -xoom, where an attendant gave us any- thing we wanted in the way of brand-new underwear, shirts, and socks, while on hooks et one side were our clothes., which had been thoroughly fumigated. "After we lead got back our bon- nets, boats, and other property, we were ushered into u. room where a squad of barbers awaited tis. When they were through, we marched, spick and span again, into a tea- room for tea and cigarettes. Could anything be better arranged?" • He Was Observant. "Be observant, . my son," said Willie's father. "Cultivate the habit of seeing and you will be a successful man." "Yes," added his uncle, "don't go through the world blindly. Learn to use your eyes," "Little boys who are ob- serving know. a great . deal more than those who..are nob," his mint put in.. Willie tock this advice to heart. Neat day he informed his mother that lie had been observing things. "Uncle's got a gun, hidden in his trunk," lie said, "Aunt Jane's got an extra set of teeth in her drawer, and father's got a pack of earcls behind the books in his ileal..".....

Quebec Man Who Suffered for a Long Tillie from Kidney Disease Finds a Complete Cure, Allen's Mills, Portneuf Oo,, Que., March 1—(Special),—Another aPlen- di`d pure by Dodd's Kidney Pills is that of Michael Gauthier, a well- kesident of place. Mr. Gaunownthierrwas fora longthis time a suf• ferer with a pain in his head caused by kidney disease, and at length got so bad that he had to quit work. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him. He is hank at work, strong and hearty, and naturally he feels that he wants all who suffer from kidney disease to know that they can find a cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills. For Dodd's Kidney Pills not only cure the pain or ache that is caus- ing the most distress, they put the kidneys in good working order and all the impurities and poisons are strained out of the blood. The re- sult is that new strength is'carried to every part of the body. That's why so many sufferers cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills sum up their condition, I feel like a new man." New energy is new life. You can't have it with sick kidneys. With healthy kidneys you must havkit. Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys. 3• HAS TOO MANY COOKS. • King George Economizes by a Cut in Salary of Rio Chef. Ring George is setting an exam- ple of economy in war time to his subjects, much as Emperor William is doing in Germany. M. Ccdard, the •head chef at Buckingham Pal- ace, has agreed to accept a 60 per cent, reduction in 'his salary during the war. His salary was $12,500 per annum, so the reduction will save the King's private purse $6,260 a year. The cooking at the palace is now of the plainest character and of a kind that might be found in any fairly well-to-do house.. It could be performed quite efficiently by one of the assistant cooks. The average daily cost of the Roy- al dinner prior to the war was esti- mated at $4.66. Tha•number of per- sons, excluding the Ring and Queen and members of the Royal family who dine at the Royal table is usually three. There were twelve assistant male cooks at the palace before the war. Of these, seven_ enlisted, but the present staff is still far larger than is required, Mountaineering France has a special body of meutaineering soldiers called the Ohasseurs Alpins, who are wholly at home among the snow-capped crags and fastnesses of such a re- gion as the Vosges. They are in- ured to the cold of high altitudes, practised in the use of skis, and can move from point to point with sur- prising rapidity. Small arms are not their sole reliance, for they. have also light, effective artillery,o+f spe- cial design and conetruotion, easily taken down and quickly assembled, which they transport on the backs of mules and which they can take to seemingly inaccessible positions. Ordinary troops could hardly carry out such operations in the treacher- ous, snow -blocked, wind-swept mountain passes. THE DOCTOR'S WIFE Agrees With Hint About Food. A trained nurse says: "In the practice of my profession' I have found so many points in favor of Grape -Nuts food that I unhesitat- ingly recommend it to all my pa- tients. "It is delicate and pleasing to the palate (an essential in food ,for the sick) and can ,be adapted to all ages, being softened with milk or cream for babies or the aged when deficiency of teeth renders mastica- tion impossible. For fever patients or those on liquid diet I find Grape - Nuts and albumen water very nourishing and refreshing. "This recipe is my own idea and is made as follows: Soak a tea- spoonful of Grape -Nuts in a glass of water for an hour, strain and serve with the beaten white of an egg and a spoonful of fruit juice for flavouring. This affords a great deal. of nourishment that even the weakest stomach can assimilate without any distress. "My husband is a physician and 'he uses Grape -Nuts himself and or- ders it many times for his patients. "Personally I regard a dish, eet Grape -Nuts with fresh e e stewed fruit as tits "';;ti oreakfast for any. ;rue—well or sick." In stomach trouble, nervous pros- tration, etc,, a 10 -day trial of Grape -Nuts will usually work won- ders toward nourishing and re- building and in this way end the tronhle.

Take, for example, a mod- ern gun that weighs forty tons, gives a muzzle velocity ofthree thousand feet a second and has a range of anything up to fifteen miles; a howitzer of the same cal] - bre would weigh only 6.3 tons, and would given, muzzle velocity of only 1,100 feet a second.
