PARIS IS OVERCROWDED..
1,200,552 Persons Living in Unhy-
gienic Conditions.
The attention of the medical
world has been 'attracted by statis-
tics compiled by Dr. Bertillon show-
ing that in 1911 the number of per-
sons in Paris living in unhygienic
conditions was not less than 1,200,-
552, of whom the greater proportion,
were sleeping, eating, living in
overcrowded_- apartments. Condi-
tions were better than they were
ten years earlier, but only because
families have become smaller.
Since 1901 the number of people
belonging to families of five, six
and seven persons has decreased by
56,000, while the number of people
belonging to families of one and
two persons has increased by 144,-
000. While this state of things is
bad; from the point of view of popu-
lation, it is goad so far as housing
conditions go, although even new
691 families out of 1,000, says Dr.
Bertillon, live in conditions con-
ducive to the spread of tuberculo-
sis.

AFTER EFFECT
FELT
OF FEVERS
Banished. Through Oa Use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills
Following wasting diseases such
as fevers, many people find it diffi-
cult to ,regain their former strength.
They become breathless and tired
ollt .at the least exertion; their ap-
petite is fickle and they often feel
as though death was staring them
in the
face. The tionble lies withi
the blood which has not returned
to its normal condition and is lack-
ing in the red corpuscles without
which, good health is impossible.
It is at a time like this that Dr.
Williams'" Pink Pills prove their
'great tonic value.' Every doss •helps
to make new, rich, red blood, which
means health and vitality.. Mrs,
Theodore Foley, Athens, Ont.,
says: "Following an attack of ty-
phoid fever I "was left fa a very
weak and disheartened condition.
The smallest exertion left me worn
and tired out, and I was hardly
able to: get around, and naturally
felt despondent. I decided to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and they
proved of the greatest benefit to
me. I am now as well and strong
as ever, and can do all my own
Work, and as we live on 'a farm, it
goes without saying that there is
much to do. I feel, therefore, that
I cannot say too much in praise of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
If you are suffering from the
after effects of fevers, la grippe, or
any acute disease, you should be-,
gin to get new strength to -day
through the tonic treatment with
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Sold by
all medicine dealers or by mail at

GRAFT TAILS ON FISH.
One Goldfish So Treated Recently
Sold for $1,000 in Japan.
Among the many interesting arts
in which the Japanese excel is that
of the making of fish -tails. Almost
every one has seen the bush -tailed
gold -fish, with its four, five, and
sometimes six, long tails, but it
is not generally known that -most
of them are net its own. •
When the Retie 'goldfish arc ve'ky,
very young ,heli flesh is as 'clear as'
glass, so that one --can •see every
bone in their, tiny bodies. At this
time the few that are born with two
or more tails are put by them-
selves, and then a queer -looking
old Jap, with a ,great magnifying
glass fastened in front of- his eye
and wee sharp tools handy, reaches.
down under -the water and cuts off
the tails of the plain little fish, and
then three or four of these tails are
joined on to the backbone where
the one was- cut off and fastened
there with tiny bandages until they
grow fast.
The Japanese, who are very skil-
ful in queer things of this kind,
grow the finest goldfish in the
workl and it is a very good busi-
ness, for very fine fish of the kind
often bring as much as $300 to
$500, and one sold not long -ago for
$1,000.

WHAT, JS ENC'ACINC THE ATTENTION
'OF THE CITIZENS JUST NOW.
"Riot` of Color" at the Races—Bc41utiful
Fashions—Twelve Crenles at Ottawa
—4;000 Presbyterians.
tdIere man ip never expected -to:be able
appreciate, feminine fashions, but this
;year he can only marvel at the extreme
styles in color and design that every-
where greet the eye.
The races provide the gl oat S.endezvous
for new spring clothes. The scene among
the fashionably ,dressed women there this
year was aptly described, as a riot of
:color." Gone were the soft 'shades of
former years and the garish primary
colors in all their -rawness held full sway,
'ieds of the most flaunting shades and
blues of vivid hue predominated, but•thero
were also brilliant greens, Nell rose pur-
pies and a vivid new tan color, known as
brass."
Of course no one blames Toronto women
for these fashions. As a matter of fact a
good many people seem -to like diem. In
any case they merely follow .New York
and New York in turn followe',Londou
or Paris. The reds and the blues are
supposed to show the luduenge„ of the
Balkan war, Bulgarian blue and iTurkeY
red beiug characteristic colors.' of the
competcnts. Men should not 'grumble, as
they are not asked also in honor of the
Balkan war to don the skirt' of the Greek
militia, .
The gowns of this season reveal less
"form" or "cut" than ever before in the
memory of the oldest, inhabitant. Such
waist line as' there ii,,yaries anywhere
from the knee to under the arms. The
gowns display the figures no more than
they would, if> hung -on clothes horses.
Sometimes they resemble balloons and
sometimes sausages. Generally they have
the hobble effect at the ankle and some-
times there is a slash up -the hide reveal -
Mg silk stockings or a ruffled underskirt.
The stockings often iu color match the
hat.
In the United States there Is' an agita-
tion to establish American fashions as
distinguished from fashions imported
from Paris. Perhaps some: day there will
be a similar agitation for Canadian fa-
shions,
It is estimated that some of the best
dressed women at the Woodbine spend
upwards of $2,000 on the gowns they
bought for the races alone. This provides
for one dress costing at least $500, which
is considered to be a moderate amount,
but which is thought to be the limit of
expense devoted to any caress .appearing
at the scene of fashion, and for six new
costumes altogether for the seven days'
racing.
Impressions -of Parliament.
One of the most interesting chapters in
"Getting into Parliament and After,"
which has just been published by Honor-
able Sir George W. Boss, he describes his
impressions of the House of Commons as
he remembers it when he was first elected
to it with the advent of the Mackenzie
Administration in 1073. He describes the
happy family of members who took a suite
of rooms with a private parlor and din•
hag room in one of the Ottawa hotels.
There were twelve of them. At the heal
sat Joseph. Hymal, "a good carver aud;a
generous one.". At the foot David Stirton;.

but one can imagine that George Ross.
though the youngest of them all, was eas-
ily one of the leaders of the little bend.
Particularly interesting are Sir George's
impressions of the changed attitude of
mind of members when they sit on the
Government to that when they are in the
cold shades of Opposition. He says: "I
had not been long on the sunny side of
the House till I had learned that "free
lances" were not required there, and that
one of the first duties of a supporter of
the Government was to preserve a dis•
creet silence on all public questions till
after some responsible member of the
Government had spoken. I might have
opinions—that was all right and quite
harmless, whether they were right or
wrong, so long as I did not turn them
loose on the House. Of course, if my
opinions were in harmony with the Gov
ernment all was well, providing the Gov-
ernment wanted to hear them. If not, it
was purely a work of supererogation to
give them and so I had better govern my-
self accordingly."
The M.P.'s Lack of Industry.
At another point he refers to the lack
of industry of members of Parliament. 'I
thought it my duty to remain constantly
in the House—would I take Parliamentary
life lees seriously later on? Even when
it. was a working day how few attended
to the work in hand. Some would be,
reading the evening papers, others• busy
with their correspondence or carrying on
a subdued conversation with their desk='
mates, while ten or fifteen members •near
the front would be settling the terms of
an important Bill or voting millions for
the public service. Is 'that thea proper
way to "treat, do, act and conclude,"
as were commanded on coming to"our
city of Ottawa"?
lie recalls the difficulty of dealing with
the Parliamentary bore. Perhaps no -bet-
ter method was ever in practice of squash.
lug this particular genus than that put
into effect by one Mr. Joe, Cauchon, who
afterwards became Lieutenant•C#ovornor
of Manitoba, and whose name appears at
one or two critical points in Canadian.
history. Sit George recalls that Mr.
Cauchon owned a Jewsharp of generous
proportions anti secreting himself behind
the back row of seats when some speech
Was becoming particularly long winded,

from it that ever filled the Rouse,
Pointers to Speakers.
Sir George' describes the House of COM -
Ons as the most peculiar audience in
e world to address and gives this ad•m
ce to young meers: "The young mem-

The beginner must so adapt himself to

tarians are qualifying themselves for

Presbyterians Here In Force,
The Presbyterians have taken the city
by storm. The red badges of the dele-
gates to the General Assembly; which has
this year attained gigantic proportions,
are to be seen everywhere. Anyone who
would think of Presbyterians as gloomy
and solemn ought to revise -his opinions,
because the great' Congress during the
past two weeks has added not a little to
the gayety and vivacity of the City. Of
the 301,465 members of the Presbyterian
Church, over 4,000 representatives answer-
ed the call to come to Toronto. A modern
Pentecost was the aim, and those respon-
sible for the arrangements have, to a con-
siderable extent, had their hopes and aims

SUFFERINGS. OF' EXPLORERS.
Trayellers . Without Foot, Light or.
Drink in Frozen Wilms.
A description of the :sufferings' of
the German arctic expedition under
Lieut. Schroeder-Stranz, which met
disaster at Spitzbergen; is given in
the -diary of Artist Herr Rave, one
of those rescued. ' He has tele-
graphed extracts to Berlin, Ger-

tails of the movements of the expe-
dition .after it abandoned its vessel,
the Herzog Ernst, Sept. 21, 1,912.
The despatch reads:
"The proposal to abandon the
ship came from Capt. Ritschel at
the beginning of September. The
vessel then had provisions for four
months, 'besides a large supply of
condensed foods, and it was other-
wise -well equipped,
"The party started. for Advent
Bay and reached a hut on Wije Bay
October 4. Dr. Rudinger, the
oceanographer, was suffering then
from a half frozen foot, two of his
toes being in bad c'ond'ition. I of-
fered to remain, with him there un-
til the others could bring hack help.
The hoot contained.a month's pro-
visions.
"Dr. Rudinger and I were with-
out tools, sleeping bags, or lights.
',melted some fit and made lights,
and fashioned some sleeping bags
from salted skins which 'I found in -
the hut. Provisions ran out, and
we left the hut November 23, hop-
ing to regain the ship.
We .suffered. severely, haviing,
nothing todrink, but we finally
reached St hut at Mossel:Eay, where
we found 'some hard and mouldy
