ALSON'S PERMISSION.
Three-year-old Alson had a .bad_
lebit. of running away from home.
It was such .a al,ice wail( to Grand
na Platt's house; .not so very long,
slit the road led over the bridge
,hat crossedthe Mill -pond, where
speckled trout could .always be seen
at play; then up a -steep hill, where
nue often met teams with great
cad's of logs for the mill. It was
such fun to stand and watch the
stout . horses hold back the heavy
cads; or 4ometimes the little, boy
kould,go "cross outs" past the big,
;old spring, where he could peep in
u d see his reflection deep in the
tuiet waters.
Then Grandma Platt herself was
tc interesting. She had a queer
may of looking at you over her
;Lasses; and she always had cook -
es.
In vain. Alsou's mother talked to
aim of danger and the naughtiness
cf disobedience, until in her anx-
iety, the felt tbat the little boy
must be taught to obey.
So one day when, after a long,
anxious search, Alson was foiird
'quietly eating cookies on Grandma
Platt's door -step, his mother said
to him, "If you go away again
without permission, I must punish
you. You must not go away from
home again without asking me."
Mean looked very thoughtful.
A few days later he was found at
the cold spring, where he had stop-
ped to rest after another stolen
visit to Grandma Platt. His moth-
er looked at him sadly and sternly,
saying, "I must punish you. Do
you remember what I said?"
And Alson, slowly and with great
iignity, replied, "You said, 'Ask
ne,' and me. said I could go; so I
went.''—Youth's Companion,

giER DADGIITER SAVED
Stricken With Acute Rhounlattsm--
Recovery Scarcely Expected.
Mrs, Dolina J. Lawlor, writing
from Oxbow, Sask.,,says : "I would
be picking in gratitude if I did not
write you and let you know of the
wonderful good youi Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills have doge for• inw daugh-
ter, Belle Lawlor. Indeed I think I
may safely say that they have been
the means of saving her life, E'er
niany years my home has been in
Bruce Nines, Ont. Something <vt: r

then in her sixteenth year, left for
the west,: When. leaving stare my
daughte').•'- vas in the best of health,
but in the Mah
following spring e was
stricken `with what. the doctor said
was inflammatory rheumatism in its
worst form. After a. few weeks she
was able to get up, but her hands
and climbs were so swollen that she
could not dress herself. She con-
tinued in this way for some time.
and then a second attack, worse
than the first, set in, and my son
telegraphed me, as she was very
low. While I was getting ready
to make the trip of eighteen hun-
dred miles I got a second message
to come at once, as they feared she
could not live. When I reached
her I found her even worse than
I had expected. 'She was so weak
and emaciated that I would not
have known her, and she could only
speak in a whisper. Her hands and
fingers were all twisted and her
limbs 'swollen to twice their natur-
al size. The doctor had then been
attending her for two months, and
she seemed steadily growing worse.
We chid not dare move her in bcd
for fear of her heart giving out.
She `vas as pale as, a corpse, and
her lips and face always cold. We
had to fan her continually, and if
we ceased even for a little while
she would gasp for breath, and no
one who saw her thought it pos-
sible she could get better. She
suffered such pain that I used to go
out of the room and put my fingers
in my ears to shut out her gasping
and moaning. I bad known before
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and
as we could gradually see her sink-
ing I told my son I was going to
give her the Pills. He was opposed
to my idea, for he thought a change
in the•niedieine- might :preve...ftt,tal.•
However, itwas finally decided to
.time she show e< so.me xm,proe_eziten.t
and felt like • eating. From that
time on she began to gain steadily.
Gradually her hands and fingers
became straight, the swelling in the
limbs went down, and her heart-
beats became regular, and the
color returned to her face, and
soon the cure was complete. She
is now as strong and healthy as any
girl of her age, and to see'her you
would never t•hii•t she had passed
through an illness from which line
of her friends thought she could
recover. You have my sincerest
thanks for what Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills have done for my daughter,
and you may be sure I shall always
warmly recommend them."
GASTRONOMIC CRIMES.
"Content the Stomach and the
Stomach Will Content You."
Nor is it enough that school girls
and boys should be, taught to cook;
they should also learn how to eat.
Few learn this at home. They are
usually taught to eat silently, and
not. to take soup off the -end of a
spoon or toput the knife into the
mouth; but the more important art
of ' mastication is ignored. It is a
branch of physiology and should be
taught by experts in the schools.
If it were, the next generation of
mothers and . fathers would • know
that it is a crime t,o let their chil-
dren swallow food, particularly
milk and cereals and vegetables,
before it has been kept for a while

In the United States a very f-avt
investment are Railroad Equiptttii,
Bonds. The ordinary railroact mortgal
bonds build the road, but they do alott
provide engines, freight ears. fiat oar ;:
sleepers, diners, passenger coaches, •4tq.'
For the reason that the life of railrood;.
equipment is' short, that it is purchaSerr
in small quantities relative to the amount
of money necessary to be raised to build
the road itself, and that on the other
hand the amount is usually too great to.
charge to any one year's income, it Lias';
been found convenient to provide for Elm
equipment by a separate issue of bond,.;
known as Railroad Equipment Bonds;, a{3'
secured by the rolling stock which they
are issued to purchase.
In Canada, although quite readily pr�r•
curable, investors have not quite tree.'*
Used the good points of equipment bands_
as a means for safe investment, ends.
so the great majority of Canadian equiPs,

The usual manner of issuing equipm.eu'

any damaged cars, etc., keep them insurer"!
and renew any worn out or lost. The
company then issues bonds. secured by
a mortgage on the equipment and gu r•
anteed absolutely, principal and iztt&
est, by the railroad until the railroadi
has completed the payment for a uertallIV
lot of equipment. The title to it .does''
not pass, but remains with the company;

arranging the mortgage). In fact, if p.

pany does for' the C. P. R.
These bonds are usually so arranged'
that part of the issue is paid of act
year, although, sometimes, they al is-
sued subject to redemption a£ maty-'ity`
by the proceeds of a sinking fund. In
either case the security, ample at the
outset, increases proportionally with the
reduction in obligations outstanding
against it. The above method: of -prq•
curing equipment and of issuing mort-
gage bonds thereon is known as the
"Philadelphia plan," and is the method
usually followed in Canada. The other
plan is where the railroad issues the
bond as its direct obligation, while under
the Philadelphia plan the railroad is
liable only as guarantor ox the bonds,.
There is always provision, of course, that
the bonds cannot be issued until the..
rolling stock is delivered from the Mak-
ers. duet this summer a large Canadiai'i
equipment issue was purchased by a bond
flim and could only be put out on the
market in small quantities, owing to the
fact that the construction and delivery
of the equipment was delayed, •

The report on the nutritive
value of Bovril read before
the Annual Meeting of the
British Medical Assgciation,
is attracting wide attention
in the medical profession.
The "British. Medical Jour-
nal" of September 16 devot-
ed some six pages to giving
a detailed account of the re-
cent experiments, in which
it was shown that in the
'case of human beings the
body-building power of Bov-

shown in the experiments

"It was found that in all eases
the administration of the ex-

One important pointlbrought
out by these experiments is
the fact that this increase in
weight is in tissue and mus-
cle, and not fat, showing
that Bovril must therefore
be regarded as a true nutri-
ent, and an essential )art of
the diet of every man, wo-
