Taking Precautions, The composer appeared in the office of has publisher one morning, and with oalin assurance returned a cheque for $200. "You can destroy that," he told the .publisher, "and make out one to my credit for $500. "Nonsense," came the reply, "That's :your royalty to date for your last :song." "0h, no, it isn't," said the composer. "Do you mean to insinuate that the . firm is --••_". "I insinuate nothing.

"Pennyworth of cobbler's wax, please, sif!" said a tiny boy, as he stretched his hand to a Ievel with the -counter. "Wouldn't shoemaker's wax do as well?" asked the facetious shopman, "Don't know," replied the small boy; "but I'll ask pa." Five minutes later he was hack again, with the announcement that shoemaker's wax would do all right. The shopman grinned. "And did your Pa tell you what the 'difference was?" he asked. "Yes, sir," said the little boy. "He said there's the same difference as be- tween you and a donkey!" Though small, the child was intelli- gent, and he made a record sprint for the door.

The Newest Thing in Famines. - In order to provide the paper for only one issue of a big daily news- paper fifty acres of forest must be cleared of its trees. Great Britain alone uses something like five million tons of paper every year. This sounds—and is—a lot; but it is small in comparison with the United tates, whose average •consump- tion is nearly forty million tons per annum. Canada and Newfoundland supply much of the timber consumed in the paper mills. England used to get large quantities from Russia, but this source of supply is now cut off. Hence the paper famine from which the Old Land is suffering, This shortage has opened the eyes of the Canadian Government to the value of its forests, which, vast though they are in extent, are being rapidly depleted. Laws have therefore been passed compelling the lumbermen to plant as they out down. "Once a spruce forest, always a spruce forest," is the order that has now gone forth. An hour's industry win do more to produce cheerfulness, • •suppress evil humors, and retrieve your affairs, than a month's moaning.

MIDDLETON Trouble us be fled d' The tT ie d Through the Blood. • Every rheumatic sufferer should realize that rheumatism is rooted in the blood and that to get rid of it it must be treated through the blood. The old belief that rheumatism was caused by cold, damp weather, is now exploded. Suoh weather conditions may start the pains, but it is not the cause. Liniments and outward appli- cations may give temporary relief, but that is all they can do because they do not reach its sources in the blood. The sufferer front rheumatism who experiments is only wasting time and money in depending upon such treatment; the trouble still remains, and it is all the time becoming more firmly rooted. Treat this disease through the blood and you Will coon find relief. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on impure, weak blood; they purify and strengthen it, and so act an the cause of the .rheumatism. Mr. P. J, MacPherson, R.R, No. 5, Car- digan, P.E.I., says: "About three years ago I was attacked with rheumatism. I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and soon the trouble disappeared and I -am in bettor health than before. •I also know of an old lady acquaint- ance who was badly crippled with rheumatism in ber arms and legs, and who suffered very much, She, too, took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and is now able to do her housework. I tell yon this in the Hope it may be of bene- fit to some other sufferer." You can procure Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or they will be sent you by mail et 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing direct to The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Who's to Blame? My friend, if you are dissatisfied with what you have so far clone iu life, who's to blame? ... Do you think you have been cheated because you haven't achieved the success you thought you would? Do you not know that you have gotten what you lave paid for, and that there would have been a much larger success for you if you had paid the larger price? For every effort you have made the law of cause and effect has paid you ac- cordingly. If you are dissatisfied with your bargain, you can blame no one but yourself, You cannot have achievement with- out paying the price. You cannot get anything without paying the price. Perhaps once in a million times, luck may strike you—just as lightning sometimes strikes an individual, But what are Jae., were.-,..--- . -.. ess itig `gt1Ucskt .Pby� g ming? •An insur- ance company would regard the chance as practically infinitesimal. A similar thing is true of luck. Luck is such a hegigible quantity that men do not regard it. Can you imagine Charles M. Schwab or Thomas A. Edison waiting around for luck to give them a push or a pull? No, they never waited one minute for luck to help them. If you are dissatisfied wiht what has come to you in life, don't complain. The very energy you are now expend- ing in grumbling and finding fault would help you to make your life a success. Just think how much you might have achieved, how much better off you might have been if you had used energetically and efficiently all the time that you have wasted wait- ing around for someone to help you, for some outside influence to give you assistance! Think of the time and energy you have wasted in grumbling and finding fault! My friend, what you call your un- lucky fate has paid you exactly for all that you have done. If your pay seems small, inadequate, your work has been small and inadequate Do your best and largest and fate will give you her best and largest rewards. -0. S. Mar- den. While Bibles are smuggled into many "forbidden" countries, Russia is absolutely closed to the Scriptures. Marriage has in it less of beauty, but more of safety, than the single life; it hath not more ease, but less danger; it is more merry and more sad; it is fuller of sorrows and fuller of joys; it lies under more burdens, but is supported by all the strength of low and charity; -and those burdens are delightful. --.Jeremy Taylor. hnfkhts ..'kl e Slee the trouble is often due to the effects of caffeine ire un nerves and muscles, from the use of coffee or tea. iriousand.s have turned tit and found, complete sai.tisfac- tion,with freedom from it i- - tation to nerves or digestion "There's 9> a Reson Sold d by all grocers provincial Board of Health, Ontario Or.

The most famous burning -glass in history is the one used by Archimedes to destroy the Roman ships which were besieging Syracuse. But a Mr Parker, of London, perfected a glass far more powerful than that used by the ancient scientist. - He constructed a lens of flint -glass three feet in diameter and with double convex sides, each of which Was an aro of a circle with a radius of eigh teen feet. This glass increased the heat of the rays of the sun 105,626 times, or, taking an average tempera ture of seventy degrees, was able t produpe a heat equivalent to 73,938 degrees over the entire surface of the focus. An application of a second lens increased this heat to 166,362 de. grecs. A ten -grain diamond, exposed to tlie heat of this lens far thirty minutes was reduced to six. grains.
