Wi11 the earth ever cease to be 'Inhabitable •by men? It is a very grave question, and at one time .or .another most great scientists. have pronounced an opinion, though usually a very hesitating one, says London Answers. All scientists are agreed on ono point, that the earth is gradually and 'steadily cooling. Many scient- ists are of the opinion that in time the increasing cold must render the earth as uninhabitable as the moon. is. Some ,astronomers hold that the moon was once part of the earth, occupying the gap now filled by the .Pacific Ocean, and that, flung off in the days when the planets were semi-liquid, it has cooled much faster than the earth, only because it is smaller, just as a email red- hot cinder cools much more quickly than a large one. In time, how- ever, according to this school of scientists, the earth must also be- come too cold to support animal life. The human race, in fact, will be frozen out. THE HUNGER PROBLEM. Sir William Ramsey, however, has given it as his, opinion that the most likely end for mankind Is death by starvation.. He foresees a time, and that within five or Ox generations, when the corn supply will have so far failed to keep pace with the earth's population as to make hunger tho 'world's great problem. It is true that every acre under corn produces to -day a crop sev- eral times as heavy as a century ago, but the improvement in agri- cultural methods cannot be carried on indefinitely, while the popula- tion does keep growing steadily. Sooner or later, mankind will be face to face with starvation. More than one distinguished scientist, including Lord Avebury, has given it as his opinion that the earth will one day be unable to re- sist the pull of the sun. If this happens, the hundreds of millions of the earth's population will be burnt to death'instantaneously. The great American astronomer Professor Newcomb has warned the world that at 'any time, perhaps to- morrow, perhaps hundreds of mil- lions of years hence, some larger sun may come bursting through the solar system and wipe out all life in a. flash. There are many sys- tems beyond the solar system, each. with its own sun, and some of these systems are infinitely vaster than our own. Other scientists foretell a very different end for mankind in the form of DEATH BY DROWNING. As the earth cools, they say, its crust grows harder and thicker. In time volcanic action will cease, as ocean water will be unable to pene- trate to the inner fires and rouse them' to explosion point. If vol- canic action ceases to raise fresh mountain ranges, the steady "weathering" of the earth's sur- face will have nothing to counter- balance it. Frost and sunshine and rivers keep chipping and wearing away the land. In time this process would reduce the earth's surface to a dead. level. Gradually this vast plain would sink to the level of the seas and below it, till the planet is one mighty ocean, a hundred feet or so deep. A. very different end is the death by thirst that so many scientists be- lieve in. Almost as many hold that at any time the human race is liable to be asphyxiated by the gas of a passing comet. It is a satisfaction to remember, however, that most of those who predict these awful catastrophiee admit that the end is stili a few years off -a few hundred millions or so, in. facet. We need not worry. THEN THE COURT LAUGHED. Robert was an honor to the force. He ie didnot make the acquaintance • of cooks, nor did he fall asleep while on deity. Ile was ambitious and yearned for the time when he would be able to prefix the words "Chief Constable" to his name. The other day he arrested a man for assault. The magistrate en- euired as to who made the allega- tion against the prisoner. Forward stepped the zealous Robert, who, with a sweeping sa- lute, replied: "Me, Tour worship; VIII the alligator !" 3111 NOT HAVE TQ CALL THE DOCTOR BECAUSE SHE TRIED DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FIRST. Ono box of them cured Mrs. Mary A. Cook's Rheumatism from which she had suffered •for fourteen years. Mannheim, Ont., Oct. u.— Special).—How quickly and easily Rheumatism can be cured when you use the right means is shown in the case of Mrs. Mary A. Cook, well known and highly respected here. In an interview regarding her cure, of which all the village knows, Mrs.''Cook says: "I had Rheumatism to bad that .sometimes I would sit up nearly all night. "I first thought I would try the doctors, but luckily I decided to first try Dodd's Kidney Pills. "They cured me, and I didn't have to try the doctors. And just to think that after fourteen years of suffering one box of Dodd's Kid- ney Pills should cure ! I will re- commend. Dodd's Kidney Pills to anyone who suffers from Rheuma- tism." Yes, it is easy to cure Rheuma- tism when you go the right way about it. Rheumatism is caused by uric acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are working right they will strain all the uric acid out of the blood and there can be no Rheuma- tism. Dodd's Kidney Pills always make the Kidneys work right. 4 YOU SEE IT, OF COURSE. "I think," remarked Biggs, "one of the funniest signs I ever saw was this : `Teeth Extracted While You Wait.' Higgs laughed long and loudly at this, and shortly afterward he tried it on Jiggs. "A friend of mine," he said, "told me of a funny sign he had seen: `Teeth Extracted While, You Wait.' " Diggs reflected. "What is there funny about that?" he asked; "I don't quite catch the point." "Can't you see? The man who put up that sign used five words, when one would have been enough. 'T he,werd,'dentist' covers the whole ground. Every dentist is supposed to pull teeth, isn't het" "Oh, yes ; 7 see. He! Ha! Hai" FEW HAVE THE EXPERIENCE. "Ever notice how rich a fellow feels when he's got a few dollars his wife doesn't know aboutf" "Yes, by George, and how clever too !" For over fifty years Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and other painful ail- ments have been cured by Hamlins Wizard Oil. It is a. good honest remedy and you will not regret having a bottle ready for use.

Never intimate that a woman is dull. .lust for that she might cut you. It's •better to be up and doing• than to be down and being done. About the hardest thing in the world to climb is the stoo1 of re- pentance. Some, people feel they owe so much to themselves that tney never pay anybody else. It is quite possible for a man to be hotheaded and still get cold feet. The only way to make some dull children smart is with a. switch. Sometimes a fellow doesn't marry because he is lacking in will, and ee netimes because the girl has a superabundance of won't. When a man is a, slave to money there are lots of us willing to emancipate him. A woman may only kiss her hus- band when she wants money, and still not be stingy with her kisses, Nothing short of a surgical opera- tion would • amputate some, men from their money. It isn't the farsighted man who is always looking for trouble. It generally requires a lot of backing to put up a good front. HER TWO COMPLAINTS. Edward, the colored butler of a lady in Washington, had recom- mended his mother for the position of cook, but when the applicant came the lady noticed that she was not very strong looking. "Do you suppose you will be able to do the work, Auntie? You don't look very healthy." "Yes, ma'am, I is able; I ain't nuvver been no ways sickly in my life—ain't nuvver had nuthin' but smallpox an' Edward." CONSTIPATED CHILDREN Constipation in children is the surest sign of danger—the most convincing signal that baby is go- ing to be ill. Constipation leads to and actually causes more suffer- ing in little ones than any other trouble. To keep baby well his little stomach must be kept sweet and his bowels regular—Baby's Own Tablets will do that—they will do it safely, surely and without pain or griping. Concerning them Mrs. S. 0. Braaten, Berglaind, Ont., says :—"My baby was both- ered almost continually with' his stomach and bowels and was great- ly constipated. Baby's Own Tab- lets quickly relieved him and, I would not now use any other medi- cine." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont: THE USUAL WAY., "I dreamed last night the% I had perfected an airship." "And when you awoke?" "I was out on the floor." Complete in itself, Mother Graves' Worm Exterminator does not require the assistance of any other medicine to make it effective.

"That young fellow has been sow- ing his wild oats." "I suppose that is Why he looks so seedy." Cholera and all summer com- plaints aro so quick in their action that the cold hand of death is up- on the vietims before they are aware that danger is near. If at- tacked do not delay in getting the proper medicine. Try a dose of Dr. J. D. Kellogg's Dysentery Cor- dial, and yon will get immediate relief. It acts with wonderful ra- pidity and never fails to effect a cure. SCOTCHMAN AND THE SNUFF, During a railway journey between Carlisle and. Edinburgh a brawny Scotsman entered the train. Being in Highland garb, he attracted the attention of the other occupants, and more so when he took snuff freely from a large box and offered it to others, "Tae, help their sin seas." At Newcastle a Tynesider entered the compartment whom Na- ture had lavishly gifted with an ex- tremely large nose. He seated himself opposite the Scot, who beamed with pleasure, and at once offered his snuff box. This was de- clined, when the astonished Scot said : "Diana ye snuff 2" He was answered "No." "Man," replied the Scot, "it is a great peaty, for ye has a wunnerfu' accommodation for 't."

To Men Who Live Inactive Lives. --Exercise in the open air is the best tonic for the stomach and sys- tem generally ; but there are those' who are compelled to follow seden- tary occupations and the inactivity tends to restrict the healthy ac. tion 'of the digestive organs and sickness follows. Parmelee's Vege- table Pills regulate the stomach and liver and restore healthy action. Tt is wise to have a packet of the pills always on hand.

At last the biggest piece sof en- gineering in the world is within sight of completion. In two years' time the Pana -ma Canal will be open to traffic. All' the figures about the Oa:nal are record -breakers. The six locks are each 1,000 ft. long, and 110 ft. wide. The water will be 41 ft, deep, as against 29 ft. in the Suez Canal. It will, accordingly, hold steamers bigger than any yet afloat or planned. The. Suez Canal cost $80,000,000 to cut. The new -comer will have cost nearly $500,000,000 before it is opened. There were tremendous difficul- ties in the way. A hill over 300 ft. high had to be cut through. A foaming torrent which in rainy weather sometimes rises 3511. a day has been circumvented by being turned into a lake the size of Lone don, Thirty of the forty miles steaming from Atlantic to Pacific will be along this lake, The huge dam which holds the lake in check is of the tremendous thickness of half a mile. The Panama Canal will revolu- tionise the world's great traffic routes. The stormy Cape Horn will cease to be the sailor's dread. The Canal will make the Pacific much busier, for New York's trade with the Orient will go across that ocean, as well as much of Britain's. Japan will be 4,000 miles nearer New York and Australia, the same. SERVING HELPS. Pineapples—Slice on a slaw cut- ter or thin with a knife. Mix with finely powdered sugar.
