Hesitating, undecided whether to kick over a chairandreturn to the city or 'to stay and fight it out, Digge finally cl°r+ose the latter course. Upsetting a chair would not upset Mrs. Digge's de,terrn:ina tion. In her gentle way she was something of a standpatter. "A mere serva.nt would not do," ventured Digge, after profound meditation. "Um -m -h," murmured his wife, raptly. The poor but lovely hero- ine, having refused for the eigh- teenth time a tainted millionaire, was accepting the village black- smith. How very unlike real life "What I need," said Digge, scratching his head, perplexedly, `"is a deputy wife." The reader dropped her book.

No medicine ever offered the public has bestowed such important benefits upon anae- mic girls as Dr. Williams' .Pink Pills. They build up the body anew by making the rich, red blood that gives splendid health, bright eyes, a clear complexion and womanly brightness. Here is an instance out of many recorded thousands. Miss Deliria Arsenault, Urbainville, P. E.I., says: "I suffered from an at- tack of anaemia which my friends feared at one time would prove fa- tal. I grew thinner every .day, had dark circles around my eyes, could not sleep well at night and got up in the morning feeling tired and depressed. 1 suffered severely from headaches and pains in the back and limbs. I had to leave school, and was unable to do any work around the house. I had no appe- tite and frequently Vomited what I did eat. I was under a doctor's care for eight months, but was growing worse and worse, and was almost in despair, when a friend advised me to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial. Anxious to get well, I decided to do so. After taking a few boxes I found a good improvement, and I continued tak- ing the Pills until I had used nine boxes, when I was again enjoying perfect health, and I found on, weighing myself that I had gained seventeen pounds. I have since en- joyed perfect health, for which I have to thank Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and strongly advise all other ailing girls• to give this medicine a. fair trial." Every woman afflicted with anae- mia, every woman who :suffers from ba•ekaches"•anal sidehes, and theother miseries that afflict her .sex can s.eeureanew healthand strength through a fair use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

"Why don't you buy something at my table ?" demanded a girl at a recent bazaar of aa young man she knew fairly well, as he passed her stall without putting his hand in his pocket. "Well, you see," was his answer, "I only buy from the plain girls. They have a hard- er time making sales." She was not offended and he worked his answer right through the bazaar and came out without spending anything. 114 Both the Satre.

The recent exanviinatio.us at the German .schools were again,- se each. year, wceoln.panied with numerous instaueee of boys killing themselves, either through fear that they would aot passe oe because- of mortification at failure. On a single day three suicides of students, all less thee -1 1.3 yreai s old, were reported, and the :body of o+ne. who had drowned himself !seine days earlier was recovered, These in etazoes were in Greater Berlin alone, One of the boys ,tlzrew'hianself in,'. front of ar. train bec'au.se he had net been promoted to a higher class. A suicide by drowning" was that of a 17 -year-old boy who was shortlyT to, try the examination entitling him to discharge this military -duties. with one year's service. According to his teachers there was no doubt that he would have passed; as he was unusually capable and intelligent. The fixed bureaueratgo scheme of life fur the average Geranan, while not explaining such suicides, throws some light on the youths' actions. Failure to be graduated from school is a serious thong. Tw become a "Beanvter," that is, a public official, is the goal 'of a great percentage of young Ger- mans, for the official enjoys many privileges not granted to the non- official German. He has a certain tenure, a • retiring pension;; , and other material advantages, and 'en- joys especial protection under the law of insults, it being a much graver crime to insult an official than a private citizen. But for those who have failed in their school work there is noeehance to become state officials. Even in private life they find it almost impossible to secure respon- sible positions with mercantile firms, and they are, of course, de- barred from enteeing the learned professions. It is not altogether strange that the German youth is disposed to take a grave view -of his failure. It is not only students in the schools who kill themselves before or after examinations. A man of 22, who had been ,studying legal procedure, reached the point where he was to take his examination, for advaneena,srt to court clerk. He repeatedly told his friends that he was sure he should not pass the examinations.. The night before the examination he threw himself from the window of his third story room. and was crushed to death. IN1FORMATION FOR INVENTORS Messrs.

To clean a copper kettle rub with a dry ehaanois skin. Be careful not to keep vegetables in a warm damp place else they will surely mould. Matting may be cleaned by wa.sb- ing it with water in which bran has been boiled, or in weak salt wee ter. Dry it well with a cloth. If; when doing up lace curtains sheets of fine white paper be placed between before washing, they will net stick and .will look like new. Unbleached muslin shrinks very' much when washing. When mak- ing ib up an extra inch a yard; should be allowed for this. To set growing house plants, in- the bathtub and spray them. with 'a bath spray is one of the best me- thuds of giving their' leaves the 'ne- cessary moisture, Overalls and such heavy articles should be dipped in the tub of Nea- ter, then, laid on the washboard, thoroughly soaped and serubhed with ascrubbing brush. To make a cat stay in a new home, rub its forepaws with but- ter, a proceeding that is said to destroy the scent of the old home.

What are called "Pluvius poli- cies" came' into operation in Lon- don, England, this month. This is an ingenious method of insurance devised to indemnify holiday-mak- ers for loss or disappointment due to wet weather during the sumaner. Thousands of holiday-makers took advantage of the scheme last sum- mer. Almost every seaside resort in the country comes within the scope of the policy. Any sum per day or week may be insured in proportion to the prem- ium paid. There are four forms of policy : Policy "A"—To pay for each separate week in which there are three or more days of rain, amount- ing on each day to more than .20 of an inch. Policy "B"—To pay for every day on which the rainfall amounts to more than .20 of an, inch. Policy "O"—To pay for the sec- ond and every additional rainy day in each week, or in every separate week, on which the rainfall amounts to mere than .15 of an inch. Policy "D" (short periods of four consecutive days) -To pay for every day on which the -rainfall amounts to more than .20 of an inch. (A week -end policy). The 'premiums vary frem. 15s. to £3 ($3.00 to $15), the former secur- ing 86 ($30) a week, and the latter £24 ($120) a week under policy "A," in which rain of the amount stipulated falls. Of course, larger insurances can be arranged. The rates for the other policies vary only slightly. Ib is also possible for persons giv- ing private garden parties and other out -door functions where no money is taken to obtain a. wet wea- ther insurance for amounts to be mutually agreed upon, to arrange compensation for certain specified amounts of rainfall within twenty- four or twelve hours, as they de- sire.

Of late years there has been a frightfully high.death rate among European rulers. In the little more than a •decade since the death of Queen Victoria no less than nine sovereigns have passed away the King of Norway and' Sweden, King Leopold of Belgium, King Carlos of Portugal, King Alexander of Ser- vi,a, King Edward of England, •two kings of Denmark, and two grand dukes of Luxembourg. Extraordinary precautions are taken to maintain the health of all European monarchs, hundreds of thousands of dollars being spent every year in retaining the best physicians and surgeons in the world in almost day to day atten- dance upon the kings and queens. Also heavy insurance is carried. The Czar of Russia is insured for $4,000,000 in an English company, which, in turn, distributed the amount of risk among other leading companies. Now there are actually thirty-three physicians, surgeons, dentists, and other specialists on the medical staff at the English court. There are five physicians, each receiving $5,000 a y-e,ar. Sir Fran- cis Laking is the chief. Each of the King's surgeons receives $7,500 per annum, and none of them, when the King is in good health, ever sees his Majesty unless as one sof his guests. The five surgeons attached to the Royal household are Sir Frederick tVe N,+I • G TO QCNOTMO 0 1 HOe," ( NTO O T Treves, Sir Havelock Charles, Sir Rickman Goldee, Sir Alfred Fripp, and Sir William Cheyne.
