Oh, I'wish the good old times would return." INDIAN BASKET WEAVERS. Women Work All Winter to Bring Products to Market In Spring. As soon as the roads are fit for foot travel the Indian women will come from their homes, bringing in wondrous creations in basketry and quill work. Throughout the win- ter the women spend their days and evenings working on their basketry. It takes practically a year to gather, prepare and weave baskets. From one spring to another the woman is 'gathering sweet grass, basswood bark, black ash, hedge- hog quills and white birch bark for her work, sometimes having to go miles into the woods to peed the bark, slay the hedgehog or gather the grasses from some wayside creek. The sweet grass, which is a wild fragrant reed grass and grows on the banks of creeks and ponds, is gathered in the fall. Before it can be woven or sewed into baskets it has to be rolled across the hot sur- face of a stove. When it has been sufficiently rolled about and ab- sorbed enough heat to make it suit- able for her purposes, the. woman ties a knot in one end and hangs it head downward upon a nail on the outside wall of her house, or hooks it over a tree branch in the sun. This grass has been used by the Indians for generations, and although some commercial basket manufacturers have begun its use, their wares do not have the wearing quality of those male by the Indian women basket weavers, because it is not dried by band, and thus loses its flexibility. Other work done by bhese In- dian women is of white birch bark curiously embroided and emnbel- 1ikhed with hedgehog quills. These receptacles are trimmed with bands of sweet grass and tasseled off with a fibre made of basswood Mark. This fibre, which resembles coarse. yarn, is made by boiling the bark until of the right consistency, then drawing it through a hole in a bone or stone until it is twisted into strands, It is then dried in the sun and when dried is ready for braiding or for whatever purpose it is to be put. Black ash is the wood material used for basketry. This ash is first pounded with a ,dull implement un- til it begins to split. A heavy lcndfe is then run under the strips, care- fully removing them in the desired widths. When they are needed they are first laid in a. bucket of warm water, which softens them so they can be woven without breaking. Her hedgehog quills are dampened by placing them in a basin of warm water while the is working. Her beak she puts into a warm oven. Frequently she finds misty weather suitable to basket weaving and takes her materials outdoors, sit- ting on the 'ground as she works. Several of her neighbors will bring their work into her yard and the three or four of them chat while they weave, ignoring the mists en- tirely. •H Ye %radia Tak' It.

'STARVATION OR MERCILESS TORTURE A choice between starvation or merciless torture ie the eliemal ppssoe- peot before all victims of indigos - CM), for although they are in need of food to nourish the body, they are afraid to eat because of the long periods of pale and discom- fort that fallow even the lightest of male. The urgent need of all who suffer from indigestion is to gain strength so that the eke: ea h earn extract nourishment from the food taken. Pain after eating is the way the stomach signifies its protest that it is too weak to do nature's work. To take purgatives is only to aggravate the trouble, Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills give new strength to weak stomachs because they en- rich and purify the blood supply, thus enabling the stomach to di- gest food naturally. Almost from the first the appetite revives: then food can be taken without pain and the burden of indigestion disap- pears. The following case proves the truth of bhese statements. Mr. W. H. Silver, a well-known farmer living in the vicinity of Herford, N.S., says: "For upwards of seven years I was tortured with indiges- tion; sometimes I was 80 had that I would not baste a bit of hearty food, but would have to content myself with a bit of stale bread. At times I suffered excruciating pains in my stomach, and could hardly sleep at night. I tried vari- ous pre•sorip;tions, but, gob no bene- fit'from them and naturally I was in a very reduced state of health. I had come to believe that I was doomed for the balance of my life to this most constant torture, when I read of a case similar to my own cured through the we. of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. This gave me new courage, and I decided to try them. To make a long story short, the use of the Pills for a couple of months completely cured me. This is some two years ago, and I have lrad no return of the trouble, and am able to eat as hearty a meal as anyone." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through, your medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Called For a Rope. An Irishman applied tat the wharf for work .as a stevedore. He was only four and a half feet in heighb, and the boss was dubious. "We're loading 300-1b. anvils into that steamer," said he, "and a little chap like yourself couldn't handle 'em," "Try me," said Pat. And the boss putt him to work. Pat handled ,the anvils aboard all right. The cargo was nearly all stowed in the hold when the boss heard a splash. He ran to the rail, and,. looking over, saw Rat struggling in the 'water. "Throw me a rope !" he yelled, as he went under. He carne up, called for a rope and went. under. again. Again he rose to the surface,. "If you don't throw me a rope," he sputtered an- grily, "I'm going to drop this an- vil."

Most people sleep on their sides, with their knees drawn up. Ele- phants .always, and horses common- ly, sleep standing up. Birds, with the exception of owls and the hang- ing parrots of India, sleep with their heads turned tailward over the back, and the beak thrust among the feathers between the wing and the body. Storks, gulls, and other long-legged birds, sleep standing on one leg. Ducks sleep on open water. To avoid drifting shoreward they keep paddling with one foot, thus making them Hove in a circle. Sloths sleep hanging by their four feet, the head tucked in 'between their forelegs. Foxes and wolves sleep curled up, their noses and the soles of their feet close together, and blanketed by their bushy tails. Hares, snakes, and fish sleep with their eyes wide open.

A Scottish farmer was one day selling some wool to a carrier, and after weighing it in the yard he went into the house to make out an invoice. Coining back he missed a cheese which had been standing on a shelf behind the outer door, and glancing at the bag of wool he observed that it had suddenly in- creased in size. "Man," he said to the carrier, "1 hive clean forgot- ten the weight o' that bag. Let's pit it on the scales again." The carrier could not refuse. Being duly weighed the bag was found to be heavier by the weight of the cheese inside. A new invoice etas made out, and the crestfallen car- rier went away: The farmer's wife ab onoe missed the cheese, and, rushing to the yard, told her hus- band that some thief had stolen the cheese. "Na, na, Meg," replied the farmer, quietly; "I hoe just selt the cheese for two, shillin's the pund." WHEN DINNER COMES One Ought to Have 'a Good Appc- tfte. A good appetite is the best sauce. It goes a long way toward helping in the digestive process, and that is absolutely essential to health and strength. Many persons have found that Grape -Nuts food is not only nour- ishing but is a great appetizer, and children like the taste of it and grow strong and rosy from its use. It is especially the food to make a weak stomach sbrong and create an appetite for dinner. "I ran 57 years old," writes a grandmother," and have had a weak stomach from childhood. By great care as to my diet I enjoyed a reasonable degree of health, but never found anything to equal Grape -Nuts as a standby. "When I have no appetite for brealdast and just eat to keep up my strength, I take 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape -Nuts with good rich alilk, and when dinner Connex I am hun- gry. While if I go without any breakfast I never feel like eating dinner, Grape -Nets for breakfast seems to make a healthy appetite for dinners "Me e lily , granuson was sick witch ".,oinach trouble during the past summer, and Anally we put hien on Grape -Nuts.

Computing the Weight of Cattle, There are many ,rules for esti- mating the weight of cattle by measurement, but ono of the au- thorities on the subject saye that "There is no rule that comes near- er than good guessing," and that "no two animals will weigh alike according' to measurement," The Iatne authoriby further re - merles :that a rule, as good as any, is to find the euperficiltl feet by multiplying the girth, just behind the shoulder blades, by the length from the fore part of the shoulder blade .to the root of the tali, Thus an ox ,gdrthing 7 feet 9 inches, and measuring 6 feet in length, would contain seven and three -quarter's times six, or forty - Mx and a;halif superficial feet. For cattle, grass fed, the following is given as the weight per superficial loot; Girth less than three feet -11 pounds; girth three to five feet- 16'pounds; girth five to seven feet —23 pounds; girth seven to nice feet -31 ,pounds. Thus the steer, as per above measurements, should weigh 45.50 Eby 31, or 1,441 pounds, gross. Un- der this rule it is usual ,to deduct one pound in twenty on half -tatted oattle, front fifteen to twenty pounds on a cow having two calves, and if not fatted an equal amount. The author of this rule suggests its use only when the scale is wanting, as the scale is the only true stand- ard. Rale Releegiotts.

" A Nova Scotia Case Of Interest to All Women Halifax Sends Out a Message of Help to Many People. Halifax, N,S., Dec., 15.—When inter- viewed at her home at 194 Argyle St., Mrs. Haverstock was quite willing to talk of her peculiarly unfortunate case. "I was always 'blue' and depressed, felt weak. languid and utterly unfit for any work. My stomach was so disordered that I had no appetite. What I did eat disagreed. I suffered greatly from dizziness and sick head- ache and feared a nervous breakdown. Upon my druggist's recommendation I used Dr. Hamilton's Pills. "I felt better at once. Every day I improved. In six weeks I was a well woman, cured completely after differ- ent physicians had failed to help me. It is for this reason that I strongly urge sufferers with stomach or cites tive troubles to use Dr. Hamilton's ; Pills." Dr. Hamilton's Pills strengthen the stomach, improve digestion, strength- en the nerves and restore debilitated systems to health. By cleansing the blood of long-standing impurities, by bringing the system to a high point of vigor, they effectually chase away weariness, depression and disease.
