IN ROYAL CHILDREN.
PRINCESSES, 17 AND 19,
HAVE DARK BEAUTY.
Prince Humbert, 16, Heir Ap-
parent, is Devoted to All
Kinds of Sport.
The children of the Italian royal
family are rapidly growing up and be-
gin to form the centre of young people
belonging to the aristocratic families
of the nation, who are full of enthusi-
astic patriotism and desires to put
the world to rights after the sad years
of the war, says a despatch from
Rome.
The eldest, Princess Yolanda, is just
19 and has inherited much of the
splendid dark beauty of her mother,
Queen Elena. Princess Metalda, who
is only 17, is a gentle girl with great
charm of manner, who resembles
rather the Princesses of the House of
Savoy.
They have all been brought up most
wisely, living a healthy, open air life
in the castles belonging to the royal
family in their native Piedmont, or ih
the beautiful hunting lodge of Castel
Porziano, about twenty miles from
Rome, on the shores of the Mediter-
ranean, where, especially in their
childhood, they Iaid in stores of health
and happy memories for their future
life.
Heir to Throne is Sixteen.
Prince Humbert, the heir apparent,
has shot up into a fine looking boy of
nearly 16, who is devoted to every
kind of sport, in the intervals of the
somewhat severe mental training
which he is undergoing to fit him for
his future position.
Princess Yolanda, who considers
herself now quite a grown up young
lady, delights to accompany her father
for motor expeditions in the Campag-
na and, lately went with rain] to spend
some hours of serious study of the
latest excavations at Ostia, the port
of Rome in ancient imperial days,
which, perhaps, even better than Pom-
peii, gives an idea of how people lived
in a seaside provincial town 1,600 or
1,700 years ago.
Among the latest discoveries has
been that of houses of two or three
stories, evidently let out in separate
apartments, just like the houses in
Rome today, while others . seem to
have been ledging houses where a
single owner let two or three rooms
to several families, so that life must
have been very much like what it is
now.
Who Invented Ice -Crews?
Ice -create Is not such a modern pro-
duct as many people imagine.
The ancients first used ice for the
making of iced drinks, These served
to solace Alexander of Macedon dur-
ing the heat of his Asiatic campaigns.
Trace of this is found in the recipe ---
supposed to have been left by him-
known as macedoine.
The more complicated product of
freezing ice -cream --was first men-
tioned by Marco Polo, who visited
Japan in the thirteenth century and
brought back tastes of water and milk
ices which were among the delicacies
then known to the people of the East.
In the sixteenth century we hear of
ice-cream in connection with Queen
Catherine de Medici, who iitroduced
frozen 'fruit juices and water ices
from Italy to France,,while later her
son employed a specialactsok to invent
new kinds of ices. the latter installing
a shop for the purpose of selling ice-,
cream to the aristocracy.
The popular confection was first
made in England by Demirro, one of
'the cooks in the household of Charles
?. His royal master so much enjoyed
his "frozen milk" that ho awarded
Demirro an annuity of '$100.
There is an account of a gorgeous
banquet given by Louis XIV, of
France at which was laid before each
guest a gilt cup containing a trash egg
colored to resemble those presented
at Easter. But to their surprise it
was "a delicious sweetmeat, cool and
compact as marble,"
It was probably an Italian named
Gatti who first sold iceeream to the
British public. The trade soon reach-
ed tremendous proportions, for in 1854
Gatti made a claim for the value of
his premises demolised in Hungerford
Market iia which lie estimated the
damages at $260,000.

FREQUENT E DAC E S
A Sure Sign That the Blood is
Watery and Impure.
People with thin blood are anuch
more subject to headaches than frill-
blooded persons and the form of
anaemia that afflicts greasing girls is
almost always accompanied by head-
aches, together with disturbance of
the digestive organs.
Whenever you have constant or re-
curring headaches and pallor of the
face, they show that the blood is thin
and your efforts should be directed to-
ward building up your blood. A fair
treatment with. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills will do this effectively, and the
rich red blood made by these pills will
remove the Headache.
More disturbances to the health are
ceased by their blood than most people
have any idea of. When your blood
is impoverished, the nerves suffer
from lack of nourishment, and you
may be troubled with, insomnia, neuri-
tis, neuralgia or sciatica. Muscles
subject to strain are undernourished
and you may have muscular rheuma-
tism or lumbago. If your blood is
thin and you begin to show symptoms
of any of these disorders, try building
up the blood with Dr, 'Williams' Pink
Pills, and as the blood is restored to
Its normal condition every symptom
of the trouble will disappear.' There
are more people who owe their pre-
sent state of good health to Dr. Wil-
Iiams' Pink Pills than to any other
medicine, and most of them do not
hesitate to say so.
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
through any dealer in medicine or by
mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50 from the Dr, Williams Medi-
cine Co., Brockville, Ont.

"°DA DEmmNE'1 FOR
FALLING HAIR
For a few cents you can save
your hair and double

To step falling hair at once and rid
the scalp of every particle of dandruff,
get a small bottle of delightful "Dan-
derine” at any drug or toilet counter
for a few cents, pour a little in your
hand and rub it into the scalp. After
several applications the hair usually
stops coming out and you can't find
any dandruff. Help your hair grow
strong, thick and long and become
soft, glossy and twice as beautiful and

$10,000 for a Postage Stamp.
The one -cent postage -stamp of Bri-
tish Guiana is worth over $10,000.
There is only one known specimen
in existence, It was issued in 1856,
aid is at present in the collection of
a Parisian stamp collector.
Another philatelic treasure is the
tw Benny a'Post Office" Mauritius. 'The
specimen in Ding George's collection
was sold in 1904 for $7,250. To -day it
would fetch a much bigger amount,
The history of the issue of this
stamp is curious. Mauritius, in 1847,
decided to follow the lead of the
Mother Country and issue stamps, A
local -watchmaker was commissioned
to make two dies—one for a penny
and one for a twopenny stamp. By
mistake the words "Post Office" were
engraved on the plate instead of
"Post Paid," Five hundred impres-
sions of each stamp were telken, and
as soon as these were used up the dies
were discarded. Only twenty-two
specimens exist to -day.
The Hawaiian islan:1s two -cent
stamps of 1851, of which there are
only about a dozen in existence, are
worth at least $4,000 each.
