SUFFERING WOMEN
Obtained Through Enriching the
Blood' .Supply.
Many women endure with silent pa-
Lienee suffering that oasts a shadow.
Over half her life, But an aching back,
tired limbs, sideaehes, attacks of tibia
Hess, and splitting headaches need not
be a part of a woman's life. Such
trials indicate plainly that her blood
is thin and impure; that to drive awaY
these troubles her system requires the
new, rich blood 'supplied by Dr, Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. These pills are
valued by suffering women, who have
used them, above all other medicines
because they melee .the rich, red blood
that makes women feel` well and at
their best Proof of these statements
is given by Mrs. Eugene Deslauriers,
Richot, Man„ who says: --'A few
years 'ago my health completely failed.
I eras, subject to those troubles that
afflict so many of my sex. Added to
these I suffered from constipation,
loss of appetite, dizziness, a ringing in
my head and nervous prostration. I
consulted several doctors, but their
medicines failed to give me relief:
After much persuasion 1 began to take
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, butwithout
much hope as I believed that no medi-
cine would help me. To my great joy,
however, I found these pills. were just
what I. needed, and. r_ can honestly say
they have made mea well woman. 11
can now do with ease all my own house-
work, and I strongly urge other weak,.
sillies women to give this medicine a
fair trial, feeling that what it has done
for me it will do for others."
You can get these pills from your
druggist, or by mall at 50 cents a box

Live in Deeds.
Science has succeeded in lengthen-
ing our "expectation of life" by twenty
years[ That is a comforting reflection.
To die young is no longer regarded as
�a pious act. But it is not years only
which make long life.
We live in deeds, not years ' in
'thoughts, not breaths;
In feeling's', not in figures on a dial.
' There are long, liven which, reckon

turies) long!

Shocking Manners!
In the Fabulous Forties Mr. Meade
Minnigerode -admits feeling some dis-
may when his reading of the manuals
of • etiquette then popular revealed to
him how elementary was• the instruc-
tion apparently needed by young per
sons even in the supposedly polite
circles of the day. Young ladies were
solemnly warned against "balancing
themselves upon their chairs; oross-
ing their legs; extending their feet up-
on the andirons; admiring themselves'
with complacency in a glass; folding
theirshawls instead of throwing them
with graceful negligence upon a table;
taking a person by the button or col-
lar; whirling a chair around on one
leg and shaking with their feet the
chair of a neighbor."
Undesirable awkwardness all, but
Mr. Minnigerode's astonishment real-
ly begins when he finds. what the men-
tors regard as necessary to say in res-
pect to table manners. "Ladies should
never dine with their gloves on un-
less their hands are not fit to be seen,"
aroused in him a painful suspicion
that ladies with hands "not fit to be
seen" were willing, instead of taking
pains to make them fit, to cover all de-
ficiencies with gloves; nor, it is to be
noted, has their instructress in man-
ners any reprehensions` to bestow on
their doing so. It also appears that
ladies at table—and that in the very
years when female delicacy, fragility
and ethereally anaemic charm were
most admired—were frequently apt to
stuff their mouths too full or reckless-
ly take bites of bone or gristle, which
could not be masticated. At any rate,
the duty of a gentleman present on
such an unfortunate occasion is made
clear:
"If at dinner a lady should raise an
unmanageable portion to her mouth,
you should cease all conversation with
COUNTING THE STARS
When the discovery of a new star is
announced the layman is apt to infer
that an almost exhaustive list of stars,
to which the latest recruit is trium-
phantly added, has been compiled.
=•Yet astronomers'.estimates of the
total numbee of stars in existence
vary to the extent of several millions,
1200 millions being a rough approxi-
mation.
Among others, Sir ,John Herchel,
Otto Struve and Professor E. C. Pick-
ering have attempted to estimate the
number of stars. Herchel's, computa-
tion gave five and a half million. stars
from the first to the fourteenth magni-
tude, but Struve improved on this
figure with twenty millions, while
Pickering, with the added advantage
of: including stars of the 'fifteenth
magnitude, fell short of Struve by two
millions
But densely and sparsely star-span-
gled areas
tar-span-gledareas occur, clusters being fre-
quent, with the Galaxy, or Milky Way,
-peg the main concentration. And as the
astronomers struck an average from
counts in various sections, one is not
surprised at the divergent results.
Stars are brought to count by the
i use of a powerful telescope, combined
with a camera, and exposure of 'three
or four hours. The Lick refractor, one
of the world's most famous telescopes,
, makes visible stars of the seventeenth
magnitude, and the 100 inch reflector
recently erected on Mount Wilson,
California, shows stars of the twen-
tieth magnitude.
To the naked eye at any one time
only about 2009 stars are visible. But
if the observer goes to different parts
of the earth at the most propitious
seasona of the year 6000 stars may be
brought within 'range of the human
eye unaided.
Before the stars are definitely num-
bered the stellar system must have its
borders explored by giant telescopes.
And this appears to be nearing com-
pletion; as the most modern instru-
ments are not disclosing •the number
of new stars anticipated. Meanwhile,

ed sparks!'

the ohurch and court records of

The softening of the "b" into an "f"
or a "v" has: occurred only in com-
paratively modern times in English,
and not at. all in German.
"Webster" is simply the medieval
English feminine for "weber." Under
Norman-French influence its ending
often was spelled "etre" instead of
"ster," and it is from this spelling,
with the addition of a "ss" that the
modern feminine ending "ess" or
"tress" has been developed.

A Camera Pioneer.
The Royal Photographic Society has
erected a tablet to the memory of
Henry Fox Talbot, "the father of mod-
ern photography;"
Before this tablet came as a remind-
er, it is to be feared that few knights
of the camera bad ever heard of Henry
Fox Talbot, though his experiments
in photography are not yet a century
old.
In 1835 Fox Talbot, a Cambridge
mathematician of distinction, made a
simple box camera, with which he
took views of his house on sensitized
paper. Then, after the invention of
the daguerreotype, he patented him
calotype process. This was in 1841.
He brushed a solution of silver ni.
trate over selected paper, which was
then dried at the fire and dipped into
a solution of potassium iodide. "Gallo -
nitrate of silver" was next brushed
over the paper; then it was exposed
in the camera, and developed. Wax
was now applied, and the result was
a "negative"—first called by this name
by Fox Talbot.
