His eans were small, and he was old ted weak, and his sons would do no ork. A fine large wood belonged the farm, and one day the father Id his eons to go and hew wood rid try and pay off some Of his ebts. Well, after a long talk he got hem to set off, and the eldest was go first. But when ho had 'got ell into the wood and begun to ew at a mossy old fir, what should e see coming up to him but a great, turdy Tro11. "If you hew this wood of mine," aid the Troll, "I will kill you." When the lad heard that he threw he axe down and ran off home as test as he could lay feet to the round ; so he came in quite out of breath and told them what had happened. But his father called him "hare -heart." No Troll would ver have scared him away from hewing when he was young, he said. Next day the second son's turn came, and he fared just the seine. The third day "Cindery Jack," called this nickname because he had to do all the dirty work about the house, and when his work was done he was always laying about among the cinders and ashes, asked to be sent out to cut wood. "You, indeed," said the two el- der brothers; "you'll do it bravely, no doubt! You who have scarce ever set your foot out of the door." Jack said nothing to this, but only begged them to give him a good store of food. His mother had no cheese, so she set the pot on the fire to make him a little, and he put it into a scrip and set off. When Jack had hewn a bit the `Troll came to him, too, and said— "If you hew in this wood of mine I'll kill you." But the lad was not slow ; he pull- ed his cheese out of the scrip in a trice, and squeezed it till the whey 'spurted out. "Hold your tongue," he cried to t; the Troll, "or I'll squeeze the wa- I ter out of this white stone." "Nay, dear friend," said the f "Troll- 'only spare me, and I'll help ;you to hew." "Well, on those terms the lad was willing to spare him, and the Troll hewed so bravely that they felled and out up many, many fathoms in the day. But when even -drew near, the Troll said "Now you'd better go home with me, for my house is nearer than yours." So the lad was willing enough; and when they reached the Troll's house the Troll was to make up the fire while the lad went to fetch wa- ter for their porridge, and there stood two iron pails so big and heavy that he couldn't so much as lift them from the ground. "Pooh !" said the lad, "it isn't worth while to touch these finger - basins. I'll just go and fetch the spring itself." "Nay, nay, dear friend," said the Troll. "I can't afford to lose my spring; just you make up the fire, and I'll go and fetch the water." So when he came back with the water they set to and boiled up a great pot of porridge. "It's all the same to me," said the lad; "but if you're of my mind, we'll have a match and see who can eat the most." "With all my heart," said the Troll, for he thought he could sure- ly hold his own in eating. So they sat down ; but the lad took his scrip, unawares to the Troll, and hung it before him, and so he spooned more into the scrip than he ate himself; and when the scrip was full he took up his knife and made a slit in the scrip. The Troll looked on all the while. but never said a word. So when they had eaten a good bit longer, the Troll laid down his spoon, saying—"Nay, but I can't eat a morsel more." "But you shall. eat," said the youth; "I'm only half done; why don't you do as I did, and cut a hole in your paunch? You'll be able to eat then as much as you please." ' "But doesn't it hurt one cruel- ly ?" asked the Troll. "Oh," said the youth, "nothing to speak of." So the Troll did as the lad said, and then you must know very well that he lost his life; but the lad took all the silver and gold that he found in the hillside, and went home with it, and you may fancy it went a great way to pay off the debt. "Is it expensive to send a boy to college I" "No," replied the father, who had just received an- other request for feeds, "but I And it's expensive to keep him there." SHE USED ONLY THE NATURAL CURE HOW NOVA SCOTIA WOMAN WAS RELIEVED OP HER HEART DISEASE. Made her Kidneys right with Dodd's Kidney Pills and all her troubles vanished speedily and completely. Eel Creek, Cumberland Co., N. S., February 10. ---Suffering from Female, Kidney and Heart Trou- ble, so run down, nervous and de- pressed that all the brightness had gone out of her life, and never ex- pecting to be a healthy woman again, Mrs. J. W. Leadbetter of this place tried Dodd's Kidney Pills, and is once more in the beat of health. Her simple statement is the best evidence that no case of Kidney Disease is so bad that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure it. "I was treated by five doctors," Mrs. Leadbetter states. "Four of them did me no good. The fifth operated on me and that gave me relief for a time. I had Female, Kidney and Heart trouble. I was so nervous and run down that my friends did not think I would ever get better. "An advertisement led me to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and I have found in them a cure for all my troubles. I cannot praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly." Female Trouble and Heart Dis- ease are caused by Kidney Disease. The natural way to cure them is cure the Kidneys by using Dodd's Kidney Pills. d' Not Such a Much.

SIR GERALD LOWTHER Sir Gerald„ Lowther, the British Ambassador 'at Constantinople, has been undergoing a very anxious time during the past twelve months, He is one of Britain's most experienced diplo- mats, and has served , at Wash- ington, St. Pet- ersburg, Madrid, Paris, Tangier, and other, parts of the world. He possesses a perfect Ambassa- dorial manner, and this is well il- lustrated by an incident which oc- curred at a dinner party held at the British Legation in Tangier. It was a few days af- ter the capture of Kaid Maclean by that notorious individual Rai - sell, One of the Ambassador's guests, a fascinating French lady, anxious to know what England would do, called across to him during the repast, "What are you waiting for, Sir Gerald?" "A lamb cutlet, madame," was the ready response. Sir Gerald married in 1905 Miss Alice Blight, of Philadelphia, the granddaughter of Richard Green- ough, the famous sculptor. Her charming personality, and her abil- ity as a hostess, have been of the greatest assistance to her husband in his diplomatic career. Sir Gerald Lowther. e. Pointed Paragraphs.

"Improper eating told on me'till my ,stomach became so weak that food nauseated me, even the light- est and simplest lunch, and I was much depressed after a night of uneasy slumber, unfitting me for business. "This condition was discourag- ing, as I could find no way to im- prove it. Then I saw the adver- tisement of Grape -Nuts food, and decided to try it and became de- lighted with the result. "For the past three years I have used Grape -Nuts and nothing else for my breakfast asd for lunch be- fore retiring. It speedily set my stomach right and I congratulate myself that I have regained my health. There is no greater com- fort for a tired man than a lunch of Grape -Nuts. It insures restful sleep, and an awakening in the morning with a feeling of buoyant courage and hopefulness. "Grape -Nuts has been a boos, to my whole family.

ELECTRICITY IN CHINA. fo3 taS, b o�. is U'lie of the Power for Advertising G rowing. During the past year Chinese merchants in Shanghai have taken up eltetrie advertising to a sur- prusing extent, and now the large stow on Nanking Road vie with n ,inethei i the splendor of -their shop fronts. It has always been the custom among the Chinese to drape the store on opening day in red hang- ings of silk covered with pictures of fairies and genii and inscriptions of good omen. With the coming of evening lanterns would be suspend- ed among the hangings and illumi- nated by candles. This has all changed now. First the Japanese brought in electric advertisements for their patent medicines, and now the Chinese merchant sprinkles a galaxy of electric lights all through the hangingsthat caner the front of his newly opened store. Nanking At one large store on I` n g Road, the -Shanghai Settlement's principal Chinese business street, where the municipal authorities had forced the property owners when rebuilding to move their premises back •so as to allow for sidewalk space,. fearing that they should be cast in the shade by their competi- tors next doer who had not rebuilt and were therefore not moved back from the curb, they leased the fronto sidewalk out as far as their old frontage from the municipal coun- cil and erected thereon a steel, stag- ing completely covering the front of their store. Upon this staging they have arranged a, magnificent elec- trical display, which they change periodically. They had no sooner gotten their show well started than another firm farther up the street erected for itself a similar staging, and it. is now a competition to see which will outdo the other in the magnificence of its display.

"Leave nature alone or there may be trouble." This is the opin- ion of a writer, commenting on the introduction into British Columbia Of British song birds. It was with the best of intentions that the sparrow was introduced into America, in the hope that it would assist in keeping down the insect pests so harmful to agrieul- ture, but as soon as the bird found that a diet of corn was better worth having, it abandoned its former good habits and quickly proved once again the truth of the old adage that the cure is often worse than the disease. Among the birds being sent out from England are the skylark and the tit, both very attractive and de- sirable birds from many points of view, but not altogether blameless in their habits. The lark is an in- veterate destroyer of the clover "lee's" in winter. In an agricul- ture section of British Columbia it is conceivable that the experience of the British farmer would be re- peated, and if the birds increased there, as they probably would at a greater rate than in Britain, their introduction might prove to be nothing short of disastrous. Far more serious might be the establishment of the tit family in a district where fruit is grown. The tit is an inveterate desroyer of fruit buds, and is not even satisfied to stop at that. In England the great and blue fits make sad havoc in the orchards when the pears and apples begin to ripen, it being their tire- some habit to peck small holes near the stalk of the fruit, so that de- cay immediately sets in and the fruit is useless for marketing. The amount of damage that a single family of tits can cause—and they invariably forage in companies—is extraordinary, for the birds are not content to finish the fruit they have begun, but spend their whole time in "sampling," so that in a very short time half an orchard may be ruined. WHAT FOLLOWED A CUT. A Magistrate's Wonderful Experi- ence With Zam-Buk. Mr. J. E. Arsenault, a Justice of the Peace, and station master at Wellington, on the Prince Edward Island Ry., has had a wonderful proof of the healing power of Zam- Buk. He says : `Four yeerte ago I had an acci- dent. I slipped in the station and fell on a freight ,.ruck, sustaining a bad cut en the front of my leg. I thought this would heal, but in- stead of doing so rt developed into a.ebad ulcer and later into a form of eczema which spread very rap- idly and also started on the other leg. Both legs became so swollen and sore that'*I could only go about my work by having them bandaged. My doctor said I must step work and lay up. "After six months of this trou- ble I consulted another doctor, but with no better result. I tried all the salves, liniments and lotions I heard of, but instead of getting better I got worse. "This was my , ondition when I get my first box of Zam-Buk. Greatly to my delight that first box gave me relief. I continued to ap- ply it to the sores, and day by day they got better. I could see that at last I had got hold of something which would cure me, and in the end it did. It is now over a year since Zam- Buk worked a cure in my case, and there has been no return of the ec- zema or any trace of it." All druggists and stores sell at 50c. box or poet free from Zana -Bun.
