Every normal human being, not

'on occasion tempted or forced into
it, has felt the strange spiritual af-
flatus, the moral patting on the
back in consecuenoe thereof. The
feeling that a good deed has been
done for a Naughty world is inex-
plicable, but supreme.
Mr. Dwight is remorseless. The

statistics, gathered by careful in-
vestigators, show that the lower a
people is in the scale of civilization
the earlier they get up. Euro:peans,
for example, rise later than the na-
tives of Asia ; the red Indian is up
before the yellow Lorean; the
Zulu's passion for early rising is
renowned, while the clepravedP•ata-
gonian, travelers report, doers not
go to bed at :all. In the case also of
nations, classes, and individuals,
their hour of rising has proved a
remark -ably accurate index of their
culture and refinement. The Bava-
rian, for instance, gets up later
than the Prussian, the Parisian
later than the Londoner, the towns-
man than the villager, the actor
than the postman, and Polly has to
rise long before Muriel. Indeed,
unless it is practised from high
spiritual motives, a chronic addic-
tion to early rising is generally the
mark of intellectual barbarism or
of industrial servitude. Early ris-
ers, therefore, have little reason
for boasting."
They have little reason, indeed,
but any one who may be able to ex-
plain w'hy a person arising ;by ordi-
nary habit .at 7.30 and finding him-
self up by explicable or inexplic-
able circumstance at 4.30 should
feel that his spirituality has been
enhanced .and his worth increased
will have an understanding of that
little. It may be that the purity of
the early morning transplants itself
into his cousciousness, but if that
be so why then should a, man ,arriv-
ing at sun up to seek his bed be at
the other end of the spiritualworld
from the man getting up from his at
the same hour? In early rising
there is a smug 'consciousness. of
right doing that is not easily ex-
plained..
Many a man would starve if he
had nothing to live on but his repu-
tation.

,seven little steps t lead o each

his own turning, winding stair that
leads to his napping' place. The
cubby-holes are lined witlh. so& eilk

the ,sunshine, and when the chilly
breezes -blow up through Great
Misty Woods, each little hearth-

When Jack Frost comes to Kitty -

on Big Blue Hill, the Kittykins
bring out their newly -painted sleds
and race each other to the Coasting
Road.
One of the "remembering les-

those in trouble, and surely no
Kitts -kin ever .seemed born to help
anyone out of trouble so kindler and
quickly as Little Grayaid.
Old Feather Owl taught her the
Three Wisest Ways when she was
very young. There are many help-
ful rules that ha; a been known in
the Owl family for ages; but the
Owls never ,seemed wise enough to
use them.
Grayaidhas taken the whole
course of What -to-do Lessons, and
the How -to -do -it Course as well.
She knows just when the fresh car-
rots and cabbages are good for lit-
tle rabbits.
The day that Brown Rabbit Iuirt
his paw, in trying to climb a tall
tree, be would have had a very
sorry time but for httle Grayaid.
She ,soothed his hurt little feelings,
and helped him walk home to his
home on Three Pine Hill.
Grayaid tied him up most com-
fortingly in bandages, and made
him a refreshing vegetable salad.

NERVOUS WEEte
Can Only Find Relief by Ton-
ing the Nerves With New
Rich Blood
The woman who "flies to pieces„
over the least noise or excitement
soon fades and loses her good
looks. Dark rings appear guider her
eyes, the lines about her• mouth and
forehead deepen and lengthen, the
eyes become sunken, the face drawn
and the complexion sallow.
The trouble is nervousness, and
if the .strain is not relieved and the
nerves properly nourished, nervonss
collapse and years of sickness may
easily follow. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People will save you
from this dreadful affliction. These
Pills make the new, rich blood that
nourishes and tones the nerves and
banishes every trace of nelveus-
ness. Mrs. Margaret Donley, Am-
herst, N.S., says: '+I believe Dr.
Williams' Pink Pill's saved me from
the grave. I was taken down with
nervous pro•sti ation, and for
months was unable to walk. I
slowly recovered until I was able
to go about, but there the improve-
ment ended. I was getting weaker

.noise would set me trembling all
over, and often when I went to the
table I would leave it hungry and
yet unable to eat. Sometimes I was
taken with smothering spells and
felt as if I 'was going to die. At
other times I would be so nervous
that I could not hold anything in
my hands. I was doctoring all the
time, bat without benefit, and final -
1 made up my inind 1 would try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They

Cereals should not be put away in

were ridinga1ong the top of a cliff

'D he trail along the cliff was very
narrow and riven with small ditch-

length el half a mile or so, our pace
to a slow walk. The foremost ones,
including myself, had, drawn up' at
an • ugly wound in the cliff face,
where a gang of rock drillers Were
busily engaged tearing .out a path
for the railway, which skirts the
summit of this precipice. We were
intently watching the nien disen-

then pitch- themover, to, go •hop-

• Turning round, we saw one of the
members of the party coming along
like the wind, and pulling furiously
at his steed, His horse had bolted.
It made straight for the cliff, and
when it reached the edge, made a
sharp swerve, and drove right into
us. As it swung round from cer-
tain death, we lost sight of the
rider, and, to our horror we saw the
saddle go over the cliff.
"Good heavens, he's over!" we
cried.
We slipped off our .horses and ran
to the spot, expecting to see the
batt.ered form of our friend lying at
the bottom of the cliff. We crawl-
ed out on hands and knees, • but
could see no trace of him, except
the saddle, caught on a. projecting
rock .about ten feet below.
"What's the matter ? Who are
you looking for 1" asked a trem-
bling voice behind us.
It was our friend Charlton. We
were looking for his mangled body,
and here he was beside us, as white
as a sheet, and rubbing his right
shoulder pretty vigorously.
"Gee, that was a close shave !
What happened?"
"The girth snapped just as the
brute swerved at the edge. He
pitched me -to the ground in a small
ditch, and threw the saddle the
other way, over the cliff."
Charlton looked badly scared. as
well he might. Heel not the saddle
given way as it did, horse and rider
would eertainly have gone over.

The human stomach stands much

If you feed right you should feel
right, for proper food and a good
mind is the euro road to health.

with the result that I was not nour-

MINNOWS' INSTINCT.
Why Do Not Brook Fish Get Car -
rigid Out to Deep Waters.
If you watch a school of minnows
in some stream that has a strong
and swift current. you will see that
they always head upstre.aan. The
reason is plain. Only by constantly
swimming against the current caa.
the brook fish remain a brook fish,
and not finally be carried out to
sea, as the brook empties into a
river, and the river empties into the
ocean. But we oa.nnot suppose that
the brook fish knows that this will
happen if it weakly allows the
stream to carry it along. The young
minnow is born with the instinct
to resist the flow of the brook.
The most natural supposition
would be that the instinct amounts
to a tendency to push .against the •
pressure of the water ; but experi
m:ents have shown that it is not the
sense of touch, but the sense of
sight that plays the important part;
The instinct of the brook fish is not'
to 'swim .against the current, but to
keep near the same "scenery" on
the banks or bottom of the stream.
The experiments that proved this
were performed ,same years ago by"
Prof. E. P. Lyon. • He put cone
little fish into a bottle .filled with
water, ,and corked the bottle, which
he then placed in an aquarium,
whose sides had seaweed upon therm.
When he moved the bottle along by
the wall, all the fish crowded to
the hinder end of, the bottle. 0'f
course, there was no current in the
bottle. The fish were -trying to keep
alongside that part of the, seaweed -
covered wall' that was opposite
them before the bottle was moved.
In another .experiments the pro-
fessor reversed .the conditions. He
made ,a wooden box With wire net-
ting at each end. Its bottom he ,
covered with sand and its inner
sides with !seaweed. Then he put
the fish into this box, .and placed
it in a.stream. As long els the box
was kept still, the fish headed
against the current, but as soon as
the box was allowed to float away
in the stream, the fish inside it
swam in any direction., While the
box was. stela, the fish., uniea. they •
made head against the stream, were
carried along past their landmarks
on the sides and bottom of the box.
But when the box floated along with
thein, they carried their landmarks .
with them, and so diem made no
opposition to being swept ,along by
the stream.
