necessity if the icltidd is to grow , up
into a good citizen, Her line of reas-

It is surprising what clearness of
intellect some children show. ' In this
essay contest just referred to, another
of the prize -winners, also a thirteen -
year -old school girl, evidently had
made some inyestigations before pre-
paring ;her composition, for, she
writes, "In investigating' the prisons
and 'looking over the records :of the
prisoners, it is found that most of the
prlsouers of to -day, were unfortunate
in having lost their parents or in hay-
ing been allowed to treat them disre-
spectfully." The compositions were
read at a Parents' Day Celebration in
Central Park, New York City, arrang-

known philanthropist who devotes
much of his time to work among un-

Romance of a Great Woman.
Now that the centenary of the birth
of Lord Kelvin, the scientist and' in-
venter,: ie,about to be 'celebrated, it is
interesting ,to recall that Mrs, Ramsay
MacDonald, the late wife of tbe•Printe
Minister, was a relative ofthe great
man. She was, as a matter of,fact,
Lord Kelvin's niece. This 1s one of
the facts mentioned in "Mrs, Ramsay
MacDonald,"by Lucy Herbert.
Margaret Ethel Gladstone, • which
was Mrs. MacDonald's maiden name,
was born in London 1870. Her fore-
bears were, lure those of her husband,
of very humble origin, and ct the.same
nationality—Scottish. They were da -
meek weaver's and lived in Kelso, and
by dint of study and perseverance
they raised themselves.
From very early years Mrs. Mac-
Donald was interested in scientific
questione, which she seemed able to
master with dale effort,
It was in June,1895, that.Mrs. Mac-
Donald first met her future husband.
Their views on life were similar—they.
were both striving' after the better-
ment of their fellow men and women.
Within a few menths^they were en-
gaged, anis they were, married in No-
vember in the following year,:
"The bride did not want to be

"She wore` a soft grey di'ees and

Why People Are Low Spirited
and Depressed.
Nearly all women and most men suf,-
fer at times from fits of depression and
low spirits. Everything seems a bur-
den;
urden; then come perio'de'of nervous ir-
ritability, headaches and weariness..
People who suffer this waY,lack vital-
ity because theirblood is poor and
nerves are starved in consequence.
The only way the nerves can Be
reached is through the blood. By en-
riching the blood with Dr.. Williams'
Pink Pills the starved nerves are•sule
plied with just the elements they need.
This is proved by the experience of
Mrs. J. E. Dodson, 12th Ave East,
Vanoouvar, 8,0„ who says:—"About
three years ago I became very weak
and nervous. I had pains in my. side
and back, and aleo suffered. from fl`e-
quent pains in the back of my head
and neck. I was hardly able tode
anything about the house, I would
wake with a start in the night and
my heart would flutter so that it al-
most 'choked
l-most'choked me. I tried ni:uch doc-
tor's medicine but it did me no per-
manent good. One day I read about
Dr Williams' Pink Pills and decided
to give thein, a Until. These pills pro.'
dated such a beneficial change in a
short time that I kept taking them un-
til I had used a dozen boxes, By this
time there" was such an impsovenent
in my condition that friends would ask
me what I was taking, and of course
I was only too pleased to tell them it
was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.- I am
now feeling like a new person and am
'doing my own housework We would
not now be without Dr. Williams' Pink

EASY TRICKS
;.•, The Ring And Block
A coin, a harness ring and a
block of .wood are used in this
little illusion. A piece of paper
wrapping paper --is also used but
the spectators . do not know how
important tbis Is..
The harness ring and the block
of wood are placed onthe. paper.
Tire coin is then markedand:.Is
placed some distance awy, also
on the paper. The block of wood
is placed' on the 'harness ring and
the two are placed on the coin. The
inevitable magicword is said and
the block of woodislifted.- The
coin- has vanished. The bloclt is
replaced, another magic word is
said and both block and ring are
lifted. The cola reappears.
The harness ring is about as big
as a half dollar. The opening of
• the ring is very.neatly covered with
paper—the - same wrapping paper
mentioned as being so essential.
The block of wood should be about
the size of the ring. so that the two
can be lifted -together without swk•
wardness. When tho ring rests on
the paper, the fact that it 1s pro -
,
pared cannot be seen—except by
careful inspcotion_of the ring, be:
rause the parer matches perfectly.
The secret being known, the opera-
tion of the trick will be easily un-
deratood.

Many -Eyed Insects.
Some.' insects are liberally ps'ovlded
with eyes. In general, they have two
kande—simple •and compound. Simple
eyes are like our own, though less ef-
ficient, while compound eyes are com-
posed of numerous facets or lenses..
Most people know how difficult. It is
to catch the 00211M00, 11014041Y. This
is not suY•prising when one realizes
that.a fly's eye poseesces 4,000 facets.
Consequently there is not much that
is out of its line of vision. The dragon
fly's eye has 12,000 facets, and the
Mordella •beetle's eye is made .up of
110 #elver. thau'25,000.
While the compound eyes never ex-
ceed two, the single eyes vary in num-
ber from one to eighteen or twenty.
They are situated in groups on each
side of the tread.

single and compound eyes, though
