Every town, village and post -office has at least one man or woman who is ready to tell of pains relieved and health restored by the great Canadian Kidney Remedy. Let Thos.

"When I came toethis part of the country," says Mr. Griffin, "I was troubled with abad back and Rheumatism in my shoulders and hips. I sent for six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they gave me re- lief at once. I also recommended them to my eldest son. who was confined to his bed from Rheuma tism.

' It is a truly astonishing thing to reflect that Shakespeare, for all his love of flowers, would have been able to name scarcely a single bloom. in a twentieth century gar- den,• says the Strand. He would hardly have been able to distinguish the queen of flowers itself, so greatly has the rose changed in the last three centuries. ttl.s for the begoniasthe chry- santhemums,' the dahlias, the ger- aniumse the fuchsias and carna- tions, these were unknown even to °” nUSIL - beautiful flowers are purely modern .productions.

Many well known plants have been developed from specimens discovered in various parts of the world, and there is no doubt that a number of charming novelties are still lurking undiscovered in re- mote spots. The chances of valu- able finds are, however, becoming vnfortunately less every year. A Eczema Always Lek anti Itchhi Used Box of Cuticura Ointment and It Completely Disappeared.

Offspring of Their Marrrate Aze Liable to' De Deaf `Mutes. The seriousness of the risk ,giro by first cousins who marry is ;em- phasized by Miss Ethel Eldertc i,'a co-worker with Professor Karl Pearson at the Galton Laboratory for National t'ugenics, London. thatversity. Marriages between near'. kin, suc;i as uncle and niece, aunt and nephew, or grandparent and grandchild, are forbidden mainly on the principle of resemblance. Miss Elderton therefore determined to see whether cousins are as much alike as any of these pairs of re- latives. She studied the cases of no fewer than 6,000 pairs of -cousins, with a view to endeavor- ing to measure the degree 'of re- semblance in health, intelligence, success, temper, and temperament. The oonelusion she came to was this—that the general resemblance between cousins is about half that between brother and sister, and practically the same as that ,shown by statistics of uncles and nieces and of aunts and nephews. "If the undesirability of marriage within certain degrees is founded on the -closeness of resemblance," says Miss Elderton, "the law which forbids the marriage of uncle and aunt with niece and nephew should also restrict the marriage of first cousin." The offspring of cousin marriages appear to be particularly liable to deaf mutes. "There seems little doubt," continues. Miss Elderton, "that if there is any deaf-mutism in a stock a cou in marriage, even when both parties are free from the disease, is most dangerous to the effsprin'g.r r PRACTI,OAL ADVICE.
