And as neither f the old dears objected: to their icknames, the names on the pais beet were in time forgotten, says ondon Answers. • A strong friendship existed bee ween the two,.. They 'lodged in the me street. Such mild amuse- ents as they indulged in were ken in common. And it was on a :ensure jaunt to Richmond Park tat Misys Dot caught her, foot in a bbiit hole and. fell heavily, injur- g the knee. For an hour .she lay in agony, hile Miss Dash returned to the wn to fetch a cab. Medical exa.- ination showed that Miss Dot uld be a cripple for the rest of life. She would have to resign ✓ employment. Strangely .'enough Miss Dash arced to feel the blow more than ✓ friend. Every evening after Acing hours she would hurry to e invalid's lodgings with the dou- purpose of attempting to cheer ✓ up`and discover what -plans she d made for the future. ut Miss Dot was extremely reti- nt. And the old-world dignity itch each preserved, even in their lations with one another, pre- nted Miss Dash from. inquiring— til one evening when unable to ar the suspense any longer, she ked her friend bluntly how she oposed to live. "I have given a month's notice to y landlady this morning," replied iss Dot. "And at the end of the month I" "There is no need to discuss it, raminte," replied Miss Dot, with shudder. "Don't you think, dear„ said iss Dash, nervously, "that"in the reumatances it would really be curable if—if you—or perhaps if were, to write to your uncle?" "AeaMinta !" . And the look -of rror' that 'accompanied the ei ola- ation kept Miss Dash from. visit. ig her for .nearly, a week. . At the end'of that time •she...again peered. • "Elizabeth," she . said firmly, you must come and live with' me. e can take a, tiny fiat in a. poor ut respectable neighborhood." . After another week of futile pro - est, and Miss Dash succeeded in wining the acceptance of her 'of- er. But for a. month or more Miss of insisted upon paying her share f their expenses out of the tiny. meant of her savings. "Aramainta," she said one day, 'my money is nearly exhausted. nit I have -been thinking that I light perhaps be able to make a ittle by- means of fancy -work." "Of course, my dear," replied iss Dasb. The materials were purchased, nd Miss Dot set to work making did little fancy mats that were in ashio•n forty years ago. The deal - vs did. not actually tell her that •e was wasting her' time. But, vithout exception, they declined' to put; chase. Mss Dot took her failure beau- fly. All her life she had struggled to be'independent. And the thought that she was a burden to her friend preyed upon her mind. It made her ill, so that she was''phesically unable to carry out her resolve to go to the workhouse. . "Elizabeth," said Miss Dash one day, `.`I, have found a dealer who would be likely to buy your. work. But..I .think ale would be advisable to interview him in person. Will you give me some of the mats to take to him?" A couple of hours later Miss Dash returned. "As I thought!" she exclaimed, riumphantly, laying a few shillings before her, friend, Life . took on a new aspect for Miss Dot, Every week "the deal- er" bought just enough 'to enable her ;to. pay -her share of their ex- penses. ' She seemed to grow younger: She was positively happy. - The mets are "delivered" ..every Saturday, And every. Saturday at as ,certain time you -will find" linkts Dash leaning over the parapet at a secluded, :corner of the Embank Meat. . When She is quite sure that no olie is looking, she stealthily 'droeis a package into the lashing waters beneath. • But Miss Dash is :happy, too. They are happiness, acts like this which cake kr happiness. SUMMER : HEAT HARD ON BABY year seasono f the y ar zls so dan- gerous to the life of little ones as is the summer. The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at, hand the baby ; maybe beyond . all human help before the mother realizes he is ill. Summer is the season when diarrhoea,, chol- era infantum, dysentery and colic are moist prevalent. Any one of these troubles may prove deadly if not promptly treated. During the summer the mother's best friend is Baby's Own Tablets. They regu- late the bowels, sweeten the stom- ach and keep. baby healthy. The Tablets are sold by medicine deal- ers or at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. WHEN MAD DOG BITES YOU. Here ,Are a Few Simple Rules On What to Do. If you should be bitten by a dog suspected of rabies, don't get scared, but act promptly. Immediately apply .a. tourniquet above the wound. No "tourniquet. being at hand, use a handkerchief or necktie, twisting it tightly with astick. The poison should then be sucked out and the wound cauterized as soon as possible. If it is believed the dog was mad the Pasteur treat- ment should be resorted to. Only two-tenths of one per cent. of those who take this treatment develop hydrophobia. . . Although the 'germ of rabies has not been demonstrated, it is gen- erally conceded the disease has a specific germ. Rabies never occurs in the ltman spontaneously, but always 'by into -mkt -time. It is also moderately well demonstrated that dogs and other animals likewise contract the disease through inocu- lation.. Many more male than fe- male dogs go mad. The reason given for this is that male dogs fight among themselves, but a male seldom bites a female. The., pro- portion is seven mad males to one mad female, Contrary • to popular belief, rabies is more common in a temperate zone than .in the 'tropics or • the . Arctic regions, and in spring and;•,fall than in summer and winter,, The only sure preventive thus far. found for 'rabies is through' muz- zling, which is another- proof that the disease has its origin in inocu- lation. There is a disease called lysso- phobia, which closely resembles hydrophobia, and is brought on by nervous dread. It has been con- tended by some that there is really no difference between these dis- eases, and that hydrophobia is imaginary. This claim is refuted by the fact that animals and very young children, knowing neither iniaginatiou, dread nor fear, do succumb to a, disease exhibiting the unmistakable symptoms of hydro- phobia. These symptoms are, first, a fear of water, from which the disease A Sweet, Crisp, ®ellei.o:s "Bite =To ©Eaat" of Toasties Dainty bits of peaty white earn., perfectly cooked and toasted: to delicate "brown."

"Dolniitfola" Notes. Superintendent J. E. Rogers; of the Ontario Provincial Police, re- lates an amusing incident of his ex- periences in passing Canadian money in the Illinois metropolis. It was about the time when he was despatched to Chisag.o to file the extradition papers in the ease of Dr. Beattie Nesbitt. He sought to pay his hotel bill with Canadian bank currency, but was ,informed that a five per cent disca•tantewould be charged on all .bills, with the ex- ception' of the Dominion one arid two-do''llar notes. Mr. Roger'.s had tendered the amount of his account in Bank of Commerce bills. Some- what exasperated, . he began .to thumb over his "roll." The clerk Inspector Rogers. watched him meanwhile. "We will take those without dis- count," he observed, pointing to a. five -dollar Dominion Bank bill. Mr. Rogers smiled, paid his ac- count in Dominion Bank bills, se- cured his receipts and then had his revenge by pointing out the Adieu; bus ignorance of the wise accoun- tant of the metaropolitan hostelry,- TWINS ARE A PUZZLE. Six Sets inaa'Englisli School Cause Much Confusion. • The Woodend Infants' School at Shipley in Yorkshire can lay claim to an English record in having no fewer than six sets of tiny twins at- tending school at the same time. All the children are under eight years of age, and in only one in- stance are the twins boys. The mothers of the twins take great delight in dressing their little ones so as to resemble each other. and as in three cases the girls are also very much alike in build, there is often much confusion, 'It is often impossible to tell 'who is who, ' says the head mistress, and the incidents while sometimes amusing frequently lead to little tragedies. One pair of twins, Eliz- abeth and Sarah Mounsey, were among the performers for a school concert held recently, and each was to sing a. Iittl•e song. But somehow their places got mixed up,, and when Elizabeth was asked to slug her sister got up and said she was the real Elizabeth, while the wrong Elizabeth burst into tears because she could not sing Elizabeth's song." It is no use allotting the twins particular seats. They are sure to get mixed up. The little things themselves get confused. Cross-examination to ascertain one from the other often proves futile, and the mothers have to be summoned to disentangle them. Even that does not always prove effective, for the mothers themselves have difficulty in recog- nizing them sometimes, as the chil- dren may, purposely or by acci- dent, change the strings of beads .and ribbons of different colors they are required to wear. The twins all seed! to have a. cur- ious instinctive feeling for each other.

Began to Ooze Water - like Matter, Torture of Itchiness., PimplesFestered and Fniarged,l Cured in Two Weeks, Thanks tQ Cuticura Soap and Ointment, Mt. Elgin; Ind. Institute, Money; Oa tarso.—" I auifered from skin trouble for two months before taking Cuticura Remedies. The trouble started from itchiness' on the back of the, hands. When irritated, this itchiness turned to pimples. • These pimples soon began to spread up the arms, from the arms to my'whole body. They also came up on the face, Having my body they became oirri- tatod by my clothing. They began to ooze 'water -like matter. Then began an almost killing torture of itchiness. When I scratched I seemed to scalp the pimples and make them extremely sore. They festered and enlarged, then they opened and left sore spots. These spots became scabbed and sore beyond expression. "I sent for a sample of Outicura Soap and Ointment which I received quicker than I expected. I was much relieved at the first application. I continued applying the .Cuticura Remedies for two straight weeks. them I was completely cured, thanks to Cuticura Soap and Ointment." (Signed) John Jamiesdn, Mar. 0, 1912.

The Bulk of It Conies From Syria. —Its Uses. Very few people have,any idea where the. familiar licoice root comes from. As a, matter of fact, the bulk of it hails from Syria. Here it is gathered and piled into great :stacks, where it remains un- til it is thoroughly dry. It is then taken to the factory to undergo certain processes. The finished product is used for flavoring con- fectionery and beer, as well as en- tering into the make-up of many brands of tobacco. Some idea of 'the industry may be gathered when it is stated ithat on an average 6,0y„r tons , of dry .licorice . rood is shinned ..from: Aleppo annually, while; :Bagdad yields another 6,000 tons: Witt`"the exception of the Damascus output, the whole trade is in the hands of a single firm. Man Wanted. "Father," said little Ruth, ap- pealingly, "why don't you stay at Issime to work as other little girls' fathers do I" Father, who, as the business man- ager of a great corporation, has to travel extensively, smiled fondly at his little daughter. "I'd love to, Ruth," he answered, "but you see I• have to earn a lot of money to take care of my little girl and her mother, and I can't get enough work to do here at home." "0 father," cried Ruth, . reprov- ingly, "I don't believe you've ever tried hard enough! Why, I have seen a sign out, `Man Wanted,' lots and lots of times.

ISSUE 'TALE OF DVAL PERSONALITY, Man Who Lost Himself and Was • Pound Three Times, A remarkable story of a duel per, so:nality is told by the famous brain specialist, Sir George-Savage,v ageo in the Practitioner, A man who had passed a brilliant school ,end university career enter- ed. the 'government service..: Be started for the East in good health, but on. the. voyage he was lost at Port Said,and as nothing was heard of him for •months he was supposed to have been killed. After many months his friends heard that he was in a state of des- titution far from where he had landed. He could give no account of his :conduct or his experiences. He returned to England, and after careful nursing and rest he was ready and willing to work, He had lost his government appointment, but family interest got him a, pri vote secretaryship in the colonies, where he rapidly showed- his abil- ity, and was valued, highly. Suddenly he was lost again, and was absent for many months before he was discovered in poverty and distress in another quarter of the world. A second period of rest re- stored him, and once more he start- ed to make his way. Thistime he started aranch, and with a bailiff, made it a great success; till once more he was lost, and turned up weak and ill in another part of the world. "It was then," Sir George Sav- age says, "that I was consulted. and I was to see him on his return to England. I next heard that he had been placed in an'asylum. The doctor who consulted me died, and I never heard the sequel."
