QUAINT REMEDIES. • Do You Fancy Swallowing Live Spid- ers as a Cure For Jaundice? The patient of. old did not differ from his twentleth-aentury descendant in liking n smack of mystery with his drug, and the early practitioner was apt to play up td this little weakness, just as the modern faith -healer and quack do to this day. The constant recommendation of drugs for "black• enesse or brutsiuge conning of strypes" was striking•,. Thus of the virtue of Solomon's seal it was said: "The root stamped while it is fresh and greene and at/Plied, taketI1 away in one night, or two at the most, any bruise, black or blewe spots gotten by falls or wo- man's wistfulness in stumbling upon their husband's fists or such like," The majority of people at the pre- sent day, However, would be sceptical of accepting the following remedies: A live spider rolled in butter, and swallowed at a pill, Was recommended as a cure for jaundice. One was ad- vised to cut off a lock of one's hair and drink it with wine or beer, to cure plague. Most remarkable, however, was the belief which our ancestors had in man as. a medicine. The skull,'the blood, the hair—nothing came amiss or was too revolting. Most valued of all was the skulls of persons who had died violent deaths. The heads of crimin- als who had been hanged were, there- fore, highly prized,and fetched as much as eight shillings to eleven shil• lings apiece if 'moss had grown on them. A sympathetic ointinent was made of this moss in the seventeenth century—an infallible remedy against epilepsy, The,skull itself was podder- ed. Charles II., when he suffered from apoplexy, was ordered by his four physicians tofenty-five drops of spirits from human skulls. In the seventeenth and eighteenth "centuries there was a profound belief in powdered mummies as internal. re- medies, ,But a few sceptical spirits de- nounced. this remedy because it led to much fraud, for far; more mummies were prescribed than 'ever'canie out of Egypt. Judging 'by the herbals of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seven-' •teenth centuries, ague and dysentery were amongst the most prevalent dis, eases, +a - Old -Fashioned Logic. I guess the world is better than 'twas when I was young, The sheriff's not so busy and there's fewer people hung. And work is not so killing when it's all done with machines; The only place that wears now i§ the seat of my blue jeans. But when I see a mower a-ciickin' down the hay, It takes me back in mem'ry to the scythe and whetstone way, - When we swung through the 'meadow with bold and even strokes, • And those that sort of lagged became the butt of friendly jokes. We kept a jug of water underneath a cock of hay, ' You'll have to take my word for how it chased the thirst away. Those good old days are golden, but I suppose, somehow, The present time will look as fine some fifty years from now. 1 1 rape -Nuts ..

Sturdy A ro't/ hment GROWING TOMATOES IN ALBERTA The pi'odnotton of tomatoes in large quantities on the prafl'le does not 119- 9011k thou o have boon a sllagepa Ill Lilo past; but pi'airlo people are of a type who are forever doing something Which was never clone before. Messrs. G. 0, Kerr and J. l7, Terrill, of Leti. Drifter Alberta, • have .observed ,for some years that tomatoes in sinal. quantities wore matured in the Leth- bridge district and decided that there was no reason why the experiment should not be made on a commercial scale. Asa result about two acres Of tomatoes were sot'out last sunufter on land farmed by M. Herr, a few miles east of Lethbridge, The plants wore started ender glees in Lethbridge and set out on ,Tune ,6, 7 and 8, at which time they were front 6 to 8 !lichee in height, Three thousand five hundred plants were set In the plot, some .of then three fent apart and some four feet apart. The experience of the sea - eon seems to indicate that the four foot plant is preferable. The soil secured was an old pasture which had since been in alfalfa and is protected by a wind break of trees on the western side. It Is a very rich loam •with a gentle southslopeand, of course, is irrigated. 'The land 'was cultivated in the ordinary way and ir- rigated before planted and three -tunes afterwards, The first of the ripe fruit was avail- able seven weeks after setting• out the plants, or about the end of July. During the month of August teem. five NW to six hundred pounds of beautiful ripe' fruit wtaken off theplot each day and this rate pf production continued into September. The tptai yield 08 the plot is estimated at 35,000 pounds and a ready market was found for the pro- duct in the city of Lethbridge, the ear- ly ripe- tomatoes 'bringing twenty.five cents"a pound' and the latter crop fif- teen cents a pound, Tho gross price of 35,000 pounds at the latter figure Is $5,250, According to Mr. Kerr, no difilcul- ties were oxperieneod in the produc' 'tion of thfs Crop, The vines were trimmed early in July :for the pure lie of producing hoavior fruit and ale° ee. milting more sunsllne whlcli ripen- ed It very rapidly. The tomatoes were eat largo and es well developed as the best imported stools: from 13ritish Col- units 01' Wasihlgten and, bofng local grown, they, of course, reached the consumer In better conciitton. The crop wee so heavy that in many cases the Support stakes which had, been put in for the vines to climb on were broken down: Onie vine was noted which had eighty-three tomatoes on it, Up to the middle of September no damage had been experienced from frost, although tie a precautionary measure, fax straw had been clumped about the plot, So. that smudges could be atartyl'd if necessary, Mr, Kerr points out that•tho essential tiling 111 the production of thls crop was the ir- rigation, which not only increased the amount of fruit, ,but by affording ample moisture 5e -the right time re- sillted in early pipeni ng, Without ligation it is doubtful 18 the experi- ment would have been at all success Phil, and while it is not suggested that every person can go into tomato rais- ing 1n Southern Alberta and produce $2,600 per acre the experience in this case Is at least instructive as to what these irrigated lands are capable of,. It is not too amen to say that such lands, it located in the mountainous part of the continent, would be sold at many hundreds of dollars per aerie, Mit because they are found in Alberta -in practically limitless sweeps of prairie they are still sold ready for the plow at less than what would be the cost of clearing them in even light- ly timbered regions. Their very abundance makes it difficult to grasp, their value but there is little doubt that some day they will be the home of the most productive and closely Settled agricultural community on the continent. PALE AND WEAK DESPONDENT PEOPLE Owe Their Condition to Weak, Watery Blood—How to Regain Strength. Every woman's health is peculiarly, dependent upon the condition of her blood. Far too many women suffer with headaches, pains in the back, Poor appetite, weak digestion, palpi- tation ofithe heart, a constant feeling of weariness, shortness of breath, pal- lor and nervousness. Of course all these symptoms may not be present in any particular case. They are merely a warning that the blood is out of order, and that it is thin and watery, and if you note any of these symptoms 111 your own case, you should lose no time in taking the pro- per steps to enrich and purify the blood. Anaemia — poverty of the blood—is a most insidious disease and if allowed to .nun' will end in a com- plete breakdown of the system. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are, beyond doubt, the greatest blood -making tonic offer- ed the public to -day. For more than a quarter of a century they have been the stand-by of hundreds of thousands of people in all parts of the world. No other medicine has ever achieved such world-wide popularity, and the reason is that this medicine does what is claimed for it, enriches and purifies the blood,•thus bringing new strength to every organ and every nerve in the body, In this way Dr. Williams' Pink Pills bring new health to weak, des- pondent people. Among the many who speak highly of this medicine is Mrs: Louis D. Larsh, Windsor-, Ont., who says;—',It would be impossible for me to recommend De. Williams' Pink Pills too highly, Some years ago I was very thin and pale; I suffered many of the symptoms of anaemia, and Al- ways felt tired, depressed and weak, I had tried several medicines, but they did not seen] to help' me. Then acting On the advice of a friend, I began tast- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Before I had used half a dozen boxes I was actually feeling like a new person and had gained nine pounds in weight. I continued taking the pills until I had taken a dozen boxes, and from that time I have always enjoyed the best of health: I freely write you this letter in the hope that some wo- man in need, as I was, will see it and he benefited as d have been," Most of the troubles that affect mankind are due to impovipiprished blood, and will promptly ,disappear if the blood is built up and renewed. If you are ailing, give this greatest of tonic medicines a fair trial and it will not disappoint you. . Dr, Williams' Pink Pills can be procured through any dealer in medicines, or will be sent by mail at 500 a box or six boxes for $2.60 by writing The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, • Night. How blest to weary eyes the gracious Night! The all-pervading dark that draws around Our mortal ways its mantle deep, profound; The bird, wing -weary from too long a flight, Drops nestward; softly front the vale and height, The bells of foldward-straying flocks rds'ound; Mid -furrow stands the plow in fal- low ground, And over fields shines out the honie- stead light. The day's dull burdens are all cast aside, A creaking cart grows down the e 1a its; Gates click and comes the sound of falling bars; The Night stands forth, a fair, impe- • rial bride, Within her hand, a balm for every Pails, And in her hair, the radiance of the stars] Ler for Mtaa d'8 and take to °theta THE VERSATILE CHINAMAN. Possesses the Quality of Being Able to Adapt Himself to Varied • Conditions. 'In commenting upon the marvelous aclaptability of the Chinese, 481r, Charles Ernest Scott, in his book, China From Within, quotes Bishop Fowler's picturesque tribute to our Oriental neighbor, The Chinaman as Bishop Fowler says, crosses all seas, burrows into all continents. He excels the Saxon in ability to toil in all climates; he matches the Russian in enduring Arc- tic storms; he surpasses the Negro in laboring in the tropics, He is the ono cosmopolitan, at home everywhere, as if he owned the world. Silent, gentle, submissive, industrious,' economical, temperate, enduring — he thrives everywhere, on mountains, in the de- serts, on the plains, on the islands of the sea: As the serpent, with his one ability to crawl, competes in all realms,— without fins swim with the fish, with- out hands climbs with the monkey, without feet runs with the panther,— so the Chinaman, with Itis supreme gift of adaptability, competes success- fully with the sailor on the see, with the frontiersman in. the 'wilderness, with the miner in the earth, with the exile in his wanderings. IIo never asks for a fair chance, and never gets it, He tastes a chance beneath the notice of anyone else's 'contempt, and succeeds. Once landed, he abides. The individual changes, but the kind continues. All governments that let stint alone suit him. He never breeds or joins revolutions abroad..\ -He is versatile; and -all industries that have a possible margin attract hint. Like a mongoose, he can run through any pas- sageway. Although fond of a palace, he can live in a hut; although fond of space, he can live in a sewer pipe— and be at home anywhere, TORONTO HAS NOW HER OWN CREATOR OF FASHIONS, Toronto has made another step to- wards becoming•the recognized centre of Fashions for Canada, for it will now have its own Creator of Fashions in the person of Suzanne Berique, who has been established in Paris for some years and who enjoyed the patronage of many of Paris' foremost society women, including many Americans, The following are some of the lead- ers she was privileged to dress: La Baronne de Bethune.
