Hurts the' Purse ae Well as the
Property,
What More charming picture can
we find anywhere than the farmer's
home with its vegetable and old-
fashioned flower garden,. his barns
and out -building all well painted in
color, tuned in ear Loony with the
green of his meadow land, his fields
of waving grain, the orchard. and
woods nearby, the azure blue over-
head.
And yet !tow rare it is to see such
homes in this fair land of ours. •
Do our farnxers riot realize that the
"run down" condition into which they
allow their homes and barns to get,
is a deliberate; sacrifice of their money
value. 'Melly of thein act as if blind
to the necessity of up -keep. They ap-
parently do not realize that property
painted as often as is necessary proves
not only an attraction but actually en-
hances its selling value. It is the ex-
perience of banks and other institu-
tions that lend money, that in fully
50%. of the applications received, the
property has so deteriorated by rea-
son of the neglect to keep the wood
and metal Work protected from decay
by the necessary application of paint,
that the borrower is unable to realize
anything near his own estimate of
their value. The average farmer
shows an utter disregard for keeping
up the cash value of his property, per-
mitting decay and disintegration of
what is most perishable on his build-
ings, namely, the Wood a.nd metal
work, whereas, if paint had been used
when found necessary, which means
on the average every three or four
years, it would have protected and
maintained their value as a valuable
asset and substantial collateral should
necessity ever present itself.
Farmers who neglect to protect
their properties by paint are adver-
tising to the countryside their lack of
real thrift. •

SIXTY -EIGHT-YEAR-OLD HAT.
And An Overcoat of Over Forty Which.
is Worn With 50 -Year -Old Boots,
A straw hat that lives to the age
of twenty-ioeven years may be con-
sidered a veteran, but it is quite
juvenile compared with one that has
seen sixty-eight years' service, and
which is worn daily by an elderly
man who works in a Government of-
fice not a great distance from Parlia-
ment Square.
This lxato s of the beaver type, and
was banded clown to the present proud
wearer by his grandfather. The hat
ie said to look all its sixty-eight
years, but has stood the test of time
ne no modern hat could do.
There is another man who possess-
es an overcoat which he has worn in
all weathers for the past forty or
more years, and "it still looks newer
and fresher than other coats made
many years later."
It was matte in the Great Exhibition
year, 1851, by the master tailor of the
Carbineer regiment, for an officer who
was the present owner's master, and
to whom it was bequeathed after ten
years' wear. It was taken to Mr.
Poole, the well-known tailor, to be
copied, but. alas! no such cloth, even
1866, was to be found to equal that
remarkable coat. In fact, it was the
last of the Mohicans in coats, And the
present wearer is proudest when he
dons it, with feet shod in a pair of
pouting boots given to him fifty years
ago.
Some
SEEING BOTH WAYS
Dumb Animals Have This Ad-
vantage Over Man.
For obvious reasons, Nature has
endowed some animals with the gift
of seeing objects behind them, as well
as in front, without turning their
heads.
The hare possesses this power in a
marked degree. Its eyes are large,
prominent, and placed laterally. Its
power of seeing things in the rear
iN very noticeable ,iu coursing, for,
though the greyhound is mute while
running, the hare is able to judge to
a nicety the exact moment which will
be best for it to exert itself to the
utmost in order to avoid capture.
Horses are another instance. It is
only necessary to watch a horse driv-
en without blinkers to notice this. Let
the driver ever attempt to take the
whip in hand, and if the horse is used
to the work he will at once increase
his pace.
The giraffe, which is a vely timid
animal, is approached with the ut-
most difficulty, on account of its eyes
being so placed_ th .t ii can see as
well behind as in front.

MEANS HEALTH
Weak, Pale People Require a
Blood -snaking Medicine.
It took centuries for medical science
to discover that the blood is the life.
Now, it is known that 11. the blood
v,ore always abundant, rich and pure,
very few people would ever be ill. It
was not until the end of the 19th cen-
tury than an instrument was invented
for measuring the red part of the
blood. Then doctors could tell just
how anaemic a patient had become,
and with medicine to make new blood
the patient soon got well.
All the blood, in the body is nour-
ished and kept rich and red by the
food taken daily, but when, for any
reason, a person is run down and can-
not make sufficient blood from the
food to keep the body in health, then
a blood -making medicine is required.
The simplest and very best of blood -
makers 'suitable for home use by any-
one is Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills. When
a course of these pills is taken their
good effect is soon shown in an im-
proved appetite, stronger nerves, a
sound digestion and an ability to mas-
ter your work and enjoy leisure hours.
For women there is a prompt relief of,
or prevention of ailments which make
life a burden. Mrs. Thos. Kaake,
Trenton, Ont., tells how she obtained
new Health and strength through the
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She
says; "The weakness came on me so
gradually that at first it was hardly
noticeable, But after a time it got so
that I could not go up stairs without
stopping to rest. Every particle of
color left my hands and face. and the
least exertion would tire me and leave
my heart palpitating violently. I con-
sulted a doctor who told me the
trouble was anaemia and prescribed a
tonic. I took this medicine for some
time, but it did not seem to help me
a bit. Then I read of a cure in a
similar case through Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills and decided to try then.
The result was these pills made me
feel like a new woman. I have gained
all my former health and strength,
and feel that I owe my present condi-
tion entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills.
You can get these pills through any
dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2.50

SiLENT CATS.
Legends About the "Harmless, Neces-
sary Household Pet.
The Arabs are said to have au old
legend concerning the cat, to the ef-
fect that this animal was created to
destroy the nice which bred in Noah's
Ark.
. The Russians, we are told, likewise
aver at the time of the Creation, pus-
sy's furry coat was designed for the
dog. The latter noble animal, how-
ever, forfeited such a coat by becom-
ing very impatient whilst the slow
process of gifts took place, and going
over to the Evil Ono in the hope of ac-
quiring a better covering for its body.
This, according to Russian theory, is
the cause of dogs hating cats, the for-
mer being under the impression that
the latter have stolen their furs!
Cats were always kept in nunneries
in the Middle Ages, and that fact
causes tle traditional association of
eats with old maids.
Cats have a very keen Sense of
smell, even while they sleep, You can
confirm this by placing a piece of cats -
meat under the nostrils of your cat
while it is asleep. The nostril wi11
be seed to dilate, and in a verfts few
seconds the animal will be wide awake
—probably looking for the bit of pleat
which it has eaten!
In South America it is said there is
a race of cats to which "meowing" is
an unknowTi accomplishment. A
South American cat in this country
should be valuable, but unfortunately
they do not appear to be on the mar-
ket.'

THROUGH THE CANADIAN ALPS.
Between i3anfi', the popular summer
resort in the Canadian Pacific Rockies
and Lake Windermere, the head
waters of the great Columbia River,
lies an Alpine ridge of spectacular
beauty, forming part of the Great
Divide. This ridge is penetrated by
two comparatively easy passes, the
Simpson, and the 'Vermillion which
lead into the Valley of the Kootenay
River, a region abounding in game on
account of its being well south of the
main line of the Canadian Pacific
Railway. Between the Kootenay
River and the Columbia River is a

lion was found to be easier and at the
same time more beautiful, and con=
struction of the Highway of the Great
Divide was commenced from opposite
Castle Mountain in this direction. At
the same time the road from Winder-
mere through the Sinclair Canyon was
also commenced and at the time of the
outbreak of war a gap of only thirty
miles separated the two roads. War
put an end to construction, and a great
washout destroyed several miles of
the western enol, so that the project
seemed to have been abandoned. Now,
however, the Dominion Government
has made an arrangement with the
British Columbia Government by
which the route of the road comes un-
der the jurisdiction of the Dominion.

tion has been allotted to finish the
work. In this way there is every pros-

Africa Has Novel "Wireless."
The native inhabiting the jungle of
Africa cannot send letters, and he has
certainly no telephone wires or tele-
graph poles, and yet he can with ease
communicate with his neighbors some
twenty miles away. His method is ex-
tremely simple. He makes a drum
from one to three feet in length, hol-
lowed out of a solid block of wood,
and he taps out his message by means
of two wooden sticks. News in this
way is regularly transmitted, and no
message is too complicated for the
drum code. Every native knows the•
code, and is thus a wireless operator.

Mit their going keenly.
"I can't think how it happened,"
said he. "I had them with me when I
went into the reading -room of the
Athonaeurn, and I only laid them
down for a second or two while I
searched my pockets to find a letter
1 wanted. When I looked for them
they were gone!"
Then the good. Bishop was asked
wlxo was in the room at the time as
well as himself,
"That's the dreadful part of no
story," he said, "for there was only
present the Bishop' of London, the
Meilen of St, David's, the Archbishop
of Rochester, and Mr, Gladstone!"
