The most, momentous improvement in navigation since the invention of the pronometer. more than 140 years ago, has just been foreshadowed in a mod- est paragraph in the report of the chief of the. bureau of equipment of the Unit - ea States navy. "It is believed," says Chief Manney, 'that the development of wireless tele- graphy will enable these (time) signals to be distribaited over water as well as aver land, and that before long every -dap at sea, in addition to every land estation, will' receive daily noon signals from the standard observatory clock." What does that mean ? Nothing less than the elimination of the last element o&` uncertainty from the problem of find - the position of . a ship at. sea, Hith- er t -o the one weak point in navigation lues been the difficulty of carrying stand- ard time on a voyage. Observations for local time as well as for latitude have been exact, but the earaiparison of local standard time for obtaining the longitude has involved a certain amount of guesswork. The best chronometer is not quite infallible, and roam all -mance, which may not be pre- elsely right, has always to be made for errors. But with time signals received from a national observatory every day at noon the mariner will know his way over any Bart of the wide ocean as accurately as if he were threading a buoyed chan- nel. The chronometer will join the ernes -staff and the astrolabe on the junk heap of discarded make -shifts. 6x0 GOOD R ASO$ FOR ALL HE SASS Dodd's Kidney Pills Cured W. N. Baskin's Pains. Well -Known Norwood Contractor Always Ras a Good Word for Dodd's Kidney Pins. Norwood, Ont., Nov. 21.—(Speciai)— Mr. W. N. Baskin, the well-known lum- berman and railroad contractor, here, is one of those who never fail to say a 'good word for Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. Baskin gives the reason why as follows : "For two years 1 was laid up with Lumbago and Kidney Disease. At times I would become very weak and would have to give up work. I did work on the C. P. R. and the Parry Sound S. h., • and people all know how sick 1 was. "Reading of wonderful cures by Dodd's kidney Pills led me to try them, and I can say I have not had any pains since Ii used them. It just took three boxes to cure me completely." Lumbago is one of the results of Kid- ney Disease. Cure your Kidneys with Dodd's Kidney Pills and you will cure our Lumbago. a+0> SHOULD BE ADVERTISED.

This is not the case, for the retina hardly ever gets tired. The fatigue is in the inner and other mus - ekes attached to the eyeball and the raiuscles of accommodation which sur- round the lens of the eye. When a near object has to be looked at this muscle :relaxes and allows the len: to thicken, Increasing its refractive lower. The Inner and outer nntseles are used in covering the eye on the object to be looked at, the inner one being especially eased When a near object is looked at. Et is in the three muscles mentioned that the fatigue is felt, and relief is secured temporarily by closing the eyes --or gazing at far distant ohjeets. 'rile Casual indication of Strain is a redness faf the rim of the cy-e, betokening a con- gested state of the inner surface, accom- panied by some pain. Sometimes this weariness indicates the need of glasses • tightly adapted to the person, and in rather cases the true remedy is to rub the eye and iK.3 surroundings as far as way be with the hand wet in cold water, /Z ina.rd's Liniment Cures Distemper. aea Obsolete French Fortifications.

Everybody is complaining of colds just now. I think the cause is that people keep tlieir houses too hot, and dress in- differently to the temperature, writes Lady Violet Greville, in the London Gra- phic, Men seldom vary their dress, but women are constantly changing from the, thinnest of lace blouses, which ex- pose the neck and chest, to fur wraps and heavy boas round the throat. Then they sit in warm, rooms with big fires and. goo out, perhaps, in the ,same clothes they weal. indoors. Sleeping with the window open and bathing, the chest every morning with cold water are admirable preventives of cold, and putting on a wrap when Ieavisig a warm room is also good. A cool atmosphere never gives cold; it is the perpetual changes of tempera- ture that do so; and going directly into a hot room after the cold outside is as good a way as any other of catching a catarrh. Ladies' colds arise often from the practice of tea drinking and paying calls during the afternoon, and also from sit- ting in clubs in their outdoor garments. Latterly the chorus of incessant coughs in ladiesclubs has been niost distress- ing, and such colds must be very infec- tious. 6.• `n• Lively Young Alfonso. There is a grave crisis in the history of Spanish etiquette, King Alfonso XIII., who is described by a French jour- nal as "impulsiv'e, and at the same time `sporty,'" wishes to make a royal pro- gress through his kingdom in an automo- bile. Horror of the Prime Minister! Such a vehicle, says he, is beneath the dignity of a monarch to whom the Con- stitution has intrusted the "sumptuous car of the state." The sumptuous car must not be driven by petrol. Horses are still harnessed to the chariot of the sun. But Spanish etiquette does not pre- vent the monarch from travelling by railway. Lady Currie tells a story of a young man who jumped into a com- partment one day on an English train and started a conversation with an old lady who greatly admired his pleasant manners. When he was alighting she asked his name, and he answered, blithe- ly, "Alfonso." He was Alfonso XII., then a cadet at Sandhurst. The anecdote probably will be read at Madrid with pain and incredulity.—London Chronicle. o.• Husbanded Resources.

One o fthe words was "mum- my." "Children," said the teacher, "how many of you know the meaning of the word `mummy'?" After a long silence ono little girl raised her hand. "Well, Maggie?" "It means yer mother." The teacher pointed out her mistake, and explained fully the meaning of the word. Presently the .word "poppy" had to be spelled "Who knows what `poppy' means?" asked the teacher. The same litle girl raised her hand, this time brimful of confidence. "Well, what's the answer, Maggie?" "It means a man mummy," replied th'e child.—Exchange. Minard's Liniment Cures Diphtheria. Child Labor Evils Miss Helen Marrot, so long identified with the work on the East Side in New York, and who was so successful in ef- fecting legislative measures that brought about stricter ordinances in reference to child -labor, is foremost among the work- ers here. She has enlisted the sym- pathy and aid of members of nearly every woman's' organization in the city, and within a few weeks will have some interesting data to place before the members of the Legislature at Harris- burg, which, it is hoped, will help to. institute the same vigorous reforms here as were instituted by similar efforts in New York city.+ Miss Marrot, in speak- ing of the child labor crusade in this city, said that even the most vigilant Philadelphians do not realize the child labor evils as they actually exist.

A story is told of a shock received by a Duluth pastor after the services the other evening.

A Swedish girl was one of the strang- ers in the congregation.

A remarkable series of experiments has been carried out in the Swedish army to test the effects of alcohol on rifle marksmanship. A battalion of G00 men was selected,. and doses of alcohol ranging from strong to weak, and from immediately before practice to long intervals, were administered to the men under conditions calculated to test the effects of liquor on nerve and muscle. In the result even a moderate quantity was found to effect injuriously both eye and hand, and the experiments, as a whole, are' stated to be greatly in favor of total abstinence. ©ate F7 NEW PATENT Folding Seat.
