Uuilg 111.111A3 saeaustaissakaaeala The Inquisitive Crow. Mr. Moskioz was a loan" who `lou- d chemistry. After he' had 'studied .11 that other people lcnew about, e branched •out and started ex:peri- ents of his own. After a year of abor he finally perfected a liquid hieh he cabled 'Elixir of Energy!' e was sodisgusted witch, his 'lazy ervants that every morning he vould march them into his labora- tory and give each a tablespoonful of the elixir, Then` they would be eized with an 'irresietible impulse labor at their daily Masks. After eking this, they would immediate- ly fall to work and never stop all y. There was a crow that •sat outside he laboratory window several •ornings, and saw Mr. Moskioz ladling out this elixir. "I wonder what that is i" it hought.. Finally, one morning Mr. Mos- kioz left the window open. The crow stuck his 'head in and drank and immediately felt 'the desire to work. He looked around the la- boratory, but could see nothing to do. So he flew . on, into the kitchen. There he brushed up against a pep- per pot, knocking it over .into the stew. The cook after ;scolding, picked it out and phased the crow. The inquisitive crow was very frightened and flew back into the laboratory. There he saw abowl which looked empty, and hid in it. But it was filled with an invisible "Elixir of Laziness." The crow breathed in some of the ,elixir, and then tried to get out of the bowl. He struggled but was overcome. When the cook came into the labor- atory, he found the poor old crow and killed him. All this was due to the crow's inquisitiveness. The Wrong Button. "Dear me," said little Janet, "I buttonedjust one button wrong, and now that makes all the rest go wrong," and she tugged and fret- ted as if the button was at fault for her trouble. "Patience, pa- tience, my dear," said mamma, coming to the rescue. "The next time look out for the first wrong button, then you will keep all the rest right." And added mamma, "look out for the first wrong deed of any kind ; another, and another is sure to follow." Janet thought for a moment, then she remembered how one day, not long ago, she struck baby Alice. That was the first wrong deed. Then she denied having done it. That was another. Then she was unhappy and cross all day because she had told a lie. What a long list of .buttons fasten- .. rel wrong just because one was 'wrong. PE11IL IN PROJECTILES' WIND Men Ftitally Injured by Change in Atmospheric Pressures. Curious confirmation of the belief that men can be killed and wound- ed by the wind of passing projectiles was given in a paper by Prof. Lau- rent, of Brussels, read recently be- fore the French Academy of Science. M. Laurent declared that several cases had come under his notice during the Balkan wars of soldiers who showed symptoms of cerebro- spinal disturbance, thouglh they had no wound of any kind. The symp- toms were fainting, a tingling sen- sation and even partial paralysis. In the more serious cases the vic- tims became cataleptic.. Sometimes death resulted. In the latter cases autopsies were performed which failed to show any nervous 1e.sions. It then appeared to Prof. Laurent that the vibra- tions of air produced by the passage of a bullet and the sudden atano:s- pheric pressure affected the nerve cells and caused -the p1.icnomenarof inhibition , produced by cannon balls. Since the speed of modern projectiles has been increased, and they have become more important to warfare, Prof. Laurent looks for a larger number of 'cases of :the kind indicated during.con'fliet. ' Horse Ingratitude.. 'Horses do not seem to appreciate good treatment any. better than men. The horse that is well taken care of and has a groom of his own seldom trots as 'well as a livery hone that is pounded over the roads by whoever sees fit to shire him, -a We scan take a fairly good livery horse from. any of the stables' and pass any horse in town that has pads on hisolegs. And wham is more, a livery buggy never rattles as a family buggy does. 11 IUal VIII V114 IV UiliVOI7,VIIV There is Trouble Ahead. Constantly on their feet, attending to the, wants of a large and exacting family, women,.: often. break down with nervous exhaustion. In the stores, factories, and on a farm are weak,ailing women, dragged flown with torturing backache and bearing .down pains. Such suffering, isn't natural, but it's dangerous, because due to diseased kidneys. The dizziness, insomnia, deranged menses and other symptoms of kidney complaint can't cure themselves, •they. require the assistance of Dr. Hanlil ton's Pills which go direct to the seat of the troubie.. To give vitality and power t� -the kidneys, to lend: aid to the bladder and liver, to free the blood of poisons, probably there is no remedy so suc- cessful as Dr. Hamilton's Pills. For all womanly irregularities their merit is well known. Because of their mild, soothing,- and healing effect, Dr. Hamilton's Pills are safe, and are recommended for girls and women of all ages. 25 cents per box at all dealers.

Before dinner he went to a barber's shop to be shaved. "You''re a stranger 1" asked the barber. "Yes," Mark Twain re- plied. "This is the first' time I have been here.." "You choose a good time to come," the barber continued. "Mark Twain is going to read and lecture to -night. You'll go, I suppose i" "Oh, I guess so." "Have you bought your thicket?" "Not yet." "But everything is sold out. You'll have to .stand." "How very annoying," Mark Twain said, with a. sigh. "I never saw such. luck. I always have to stand when that fellow lectures." Not in Her Line. One clay Mr. Smith went to buy a bushel of buckwheat for sowing. The man who sold the wheat was away, but his wife undertook to wait on the customer. She found a peck measure, and • they went to the granary. • ' She filled the measure twice,, and pouring the contents into the hag,. began. to tie it up. "But,. Mrs. ,Lawton;" '''said" . the man, "it takes four pecks to make a bushel." "Oh, does it 1" replied the wo- man, .as she untied the bag. "Well, you see I never had any experience in measuring grain .before I mar- ried Mr. Lawton. I .always taught school.' 11IT THE SPOT Knocked Out Tea and Coffee Ails. There's a good deal of ;satisfac- tion and comfort in hitting upon the right thing to rid one of the varied and constant ailments caused by tea and coffee drinking. "Ever since I can remember," writes one. woman, "my father has been a lover of hiscoffee, but the continued . use of it so affected his stomach that he could scarcely eat at times. "Mother had eoffee-heaclache and dizziness, and if I drank coffee for breakfast .I would taste it all day and usually go to bed with a head- ache." (Teais just as injurious as coffee, because both contain the drug, caffeine.) "One day father brought homes a plcg. of Postum recommended by our groper. Mother made it accord- ing to directions on the box, and it just "hit the spot." It has a, dark, seal -brown color, changing to gol- den brown when cream is added, and a snappy tarste similar to mild, high -rade coffee, and we'found that Its continued use speedily put an end to all our coffee ills. "That was at least ten years ago, and Postum has, from that day to this, been a. standing order of father's grocery bill. "When I-• married, my husband was a great coffee drinker, altho he admitted that it hunt him. When I mentioned Postum he said he did not dike the taste of it. I told him I could make it taste all right. He smiled and said, try it. The result was .a 0110,009a he won't have any- thing but Postum." Name given by Canadian Postum Co. Windsor,, Ont.

Pleurisy Pains Vanish o Chest Colds Cured 1 NERVILINE HAS NEVER FAILED TO CURE.' Don't suffer! Nerviline is your relief, , Nerviline just rubbed on, .lots, of it, will ease that drawn, tight: feeling over your ribs, will destroy the pain, will have you smiling and happy in no time. "I caught cold last week while mot- oring," writes P. T. Mallery, from Linden. "My chest was full of . con- gestion, my throat was mighty sore, and I had the fiercest stitch in my side You could imagine. As a boy I. was accustomed to have my mother use Nerviline for all our minor ail- ments, and remembering what confi- dence she had in Nerviline, I sent out for a bottle at once. Between noon and eight o'clock I had a whole bottle rubbed on, and then got into a pers- piration under the blankets. This drove the Nerviline in good and deep, and I woke up next morning fresh as a dollar and absolutely cured. Nervi- line is now always part of my travel- ling kit, and I will never be without it" ' The large 50e. family size bottle is the most economical, or you can eas- ily . get the 25c. trial size from any dealer. - SIR; ADAltll BECK. Rich, Handsome,, a Sportsman and a Stat'sivari. Sir Adam Beck I The new title sounds familiar and natural right at the start; for Ontario's "Minis- ter of Power" is associated in the public mind -with more than a touch of the knightlinessof the old, old days. Whefi the. people—Conservatives and Liberals alike—think of Adam Beek they think of a gentleman poli- tician --a 'broachgauge, wise, kindly man doing things naturally on a high plane Because he is also rich and handsome and well-dressed and •a sportsman. of the highest type he stands as a unique figure in the Province. He is about the nearest approach we have in Canada to a Lord Rosebery. And as a matter of fact Sir Adam has taken the great British states- man -politician for a model. He once said to an interviewer: "Like Lord Rosebery Thad as aboy three great ambitions. One was to marry the most beautiful lady in Canada, an- other was to win the King's Plate, and 'the other- was to be in politics." These were the ambitions of the son of an obscure Ontario. farmer. For Sir Adam was ;born fifty-seven: years ago, on June 20, at Baden, Waterloo County, when through all that country rough. farms were just; emerging from the bush. He has realized his 'ambition's' --except. the King's Platte. He went to school in Galt. He' made his fortune as a manufacturer of veneering and thin lumber and cigar boxes ,with fac- tories in London, Toronto, Mont- real, and Winnipeg. He is the big man of London. He has served sev- eral: years as Mayor and has done many things to benefit that city. Any child in the place will tell you where to find the Beck home, with its beautiful setting of grounds and trees, where he and Lady Beck lead an ideal domestic life. Lady Beck was Miss Crerar, a member of the wealthy and . socially prominent Hamiltonfamily. She takes a. great interest in Sir Adam's hobby —the owning and exhibiting of splendid horses, and 'both are familiar figures at the horse shows of London and New Yoc has well as in Canada.

He became president of the Union of Municipalities in 1904, introduced the Niagara Power Bill in 190e and has been chairman of the Hydra -Electric Commission since June of that year. He has been a Minister without portfolio in the Whitney Government since 1905. In politics as in business Sir Adam's German -Canadian lineage is apparent. He is a quiet but a systematic and persistent worker. The service 'he has given Ontario has been given ata loss of much valuable time, but of course money is no longer a matter of considera- tion with him. A minister without portfolio does not get the $5,000 salary of a Cabinet Minister. Sir Adam gets, only the $1,000 indem- S•ir Adapt Heck, K.B.

The "Minister of Power," as he is popularly known, is not a talker. He will go a ;bong way to avoid mak- ing a speech, which is one reason why his name is more widely known among Cie people then he is him- self.. He leads a most temperate and simple life, never touching liquor or tobaceo. Perhaps this is why the looks so clean-cut and alert and fully ten years younger than his age. "INTEREST TO INVENTORS.

According to most of our books on etiquette, it is very improper to yawn; but from the ,standpoint of health it is cue of the best things, we can do, For one thing, a yawn ventilates the lungs. When you. take an ordi- nary breath the lungs are not ema pletely filled, ' nor are they. thor- oughly emptied by an ordinary res- piration, There is a certain quan- tity of ,air left in the lungs always— what physiologists call "residual The air in time becomes foul and ♦fleets the blood, and through the blood the nervous centres, Then at. certain times' certain nerves get tickled, Its it were, and the result is a long-drawn-out yawn, wthioh has the power of stretching the lungs to their fullest extent, driving out all the foul air and drawing in a, supply of fresh, pure air. You will perhaps " be surprised to know that yawning is beneficial to your hearing. When you give an extra big yawn you hear a cracking sound inside your head, That is due to the stretching and opening of the Eustachian tubes. Theee tubes conneet the ear and the heels of the throat. If they are congest- ed, as happens -when you have a bad cold in the head, you complain of deafness. If you feel inclined to yawn by all means do so; regardless of what your book on etiquette may say. It is Nature's way of cleaning out your lungs and the air passages in your head.
