A Dangerous Animal.
The dormouse, and many older ones,
belongs rather• to the Wonderland of
the immortal Alice than to the realm
of zoological fact; his nearest rela-
tives are Bill the Lizard and the.
Cheshire Cat rather than the house
and field mice of our acquaintance,.
Asociated as he is with.the comedy
of fiction, it seems quite natural to
find him the hero of a comic episode
in the recent biography of Sir John
Lublock,—later Lord Avebury,---by
Mr, Horace G, Hutchinson, who re-
latesthe difficulties attendant on the
dispatch of two. dormice •by mail to'.
Sir John'sdaughter.
"I have the honor to inform you,
wrote some serious-minded authority
from the general post office,"that a
packet addressed to you, containing
a live Dormouse, is detained at this
office: it being contrary to Law to
forward through the Post Office any
thing likely to injure the mail bags,
or to do harm to any officer of this
Department."
"We wrote ,to the general post
office," Sir John Lublock related
"that even if dormice could injure
the officers of the department in
sunlnler, they were incapable of so
doing in winter, because they were
dormant."
TJpon this assurance of safety,
red tapegave way, the postman took
courage, and duly forwarded the par-
cel containing one dangerous dor-
moUSe, dormant,
Equally amusing was thenotice
acorded to another odd pet in the
Lubiock family,- One of two illus-
trious 'queen ants, sovereign of • one
"L of the colonies" upon which Sir.
John based his famous studies of the
• ways of the little creatures, attained
the venerable age of fourteen years,
and then died. Several scientific
journals spoke of her decease, and
the news penetrated to ?France, *herd
in whose mind, insttfciently aqualli'tha
ed with, the possibilities of Ia7nglish
orthography, ants and aunts • were ev-
idently confused, offered profuse con-
dolences to Sir joint "on the loss of,.
his aged and valued relative."
When a !' o1nnan Suffers
With :Chronic Backache
There is Trouble Ahead.
Constantly on their feet, attending
to the wants of a large and exacting
.family, women often break down
with nervous exhaustion.
In the stories, factories, and on a
farm are weak,' ailing women, drag-
ged down :with torturing backache
and bearing down pains.
Such. suffering; isn't natural, but
it's dangerous, because due to diseas-
ed kidneys.
The dizziness, insomnia, deranged
menses and other symptoms of kid-
ney complaint can't cure themselves,
they require the assistance of Dr.
Hamilton's Pills which go direct to
the seat of the trouble.
To give vitality and power to the
kidneys, to lend aid to the bladder and
liver, to free the blood of poisons,
probably there is no remedy so suc-
cessful as Dr. Hamilton's Pills. ;For
all womanly irregularities their merit
is well known.
Because of their mild, soothing, and
healing effect, Dr. Hamilton's Pills
are safe and are recommended for
girls and women of all ages. 25 cents
per box at all dealers. Refuse any
substitute for Dr. Hamilton's Pills

AUSTRALIAN.; GOLD MINES.
Yield Has Been Gradually Declining
For Twelve Years.
The Australian gold mines,' for a
time among the most productive in
the world, appear to be 'giving' out.'
The 'yield has been gradually declin-
ing for twelve years, and that of 1914,
according to reports to the comptrol-
ler of . the currency, was the lowest
since 1896, 'amounting to only 42,300,-
000, as against $79,300,000 in 1903.
The yield in the state of Victoria in
1914 was the smallest since 1851.
The Australiangold yield, in fine
ounces, has been as follows in the last
three years: 2,048,910 in 1914, 2,205,-
061 in 1913, 2,321,343 in. 1912. The
highwater mark was in 1903-3,827,-
064
903-3,827;064 ounces.,
The state of Victoria has given the
world, since her mines were opened in
1851, more than 1,435,618,000 of gold.;
Her Iargest. production in a year was
in 1856-3,053,744' ounces.
Thestate of Western Australia has
been the premier Australian gold -
bearer since' the beginning of the pre-
sent century, having supplied in the
last fifteen years 23,000,000 ounces, as
against 9,000,000 by Victoria. The
third largest gold -producing state ifi
Austialia is Queensland;

"I really feel that it is hardly possi-
ble to say too much in favor of Grape -
Nuts as a health food," writes a lady.
"For 9 or 10 .years I had suffered*
from indigestion and chronic constipa-
tion, caused] by the continued use of
coffee and rich, heavy foods. My ail-
ments made my life so wretched that
I was eager to try anything that held
out a promise of help. And that is
how I happened to buy a package of
Grape -Nuts food last spring,
"That ended my experiments. For
in Grape -Nuts I found exactly what I
wanted and needed. From the day T
began to use it I noticed an improve-
Ment, and in a very few weeks I found
nay health was being restored.
"My digestive apparatus now works
perfectly, and chronic constipation has
been entirely relieved: I have gained
in weight .materially, and life is a
very pleasant thing to me so long aS I
use Grape -Nuts once or twice a day.
I have found by experiment that if I
leave it off for a few days my hearth
suffers.
"A physician in our town has great
success in treating stomach troubles,
and the secret of it is that he puts
his patient on Grape -Nuts food—it al-
ways brings' back the power of , dips:

Volunteer Fleet, which is an auxiliary
of the railway, is an amplification of
the connection which the company
has sustained with the Trans-Siber-
ian Railway, which is a state-owned
system. The Company has offices
in laroscow and Petrograd in which it
does business, the only railway on
this continent to have such officas in
Russia. If it would seem strange
that the Company should do business
in either city, it need only be men-
tioned that the C.P.R. isthe only

round -the -world tours, uses, of
course, the Trans-Siberian Railway
line, which the average Russian al-
ways calls the "Transcontinental"
line—this being the notion the sysz
temi conveys to his mind. On this
line there are three types' of engine
the wood, oil and coal using engine.
The wood engine is a special type,
which is not built at all on this con-
tinent, but it serves the purpose in
the physical circumstances on the

several ways from those on this

WHEN BABY 18 ILL
When he is troubled with constipa-

give him Baby's Own Tablets. They
sweeten the stomach, regulate the
bowels and cure all these troubles
simply' because they banish the cause.
Concerning them Mrs. Philias Duval,
St. Leonard, Que., writes: "We are
well satisfied with Baby's Own Tab-
lets, which we have used for our baby
when suffering from constipation and
vomiting." ,The. Tablets are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25

Turkey's.. Chain of Spies.
Turkey boasts of more spies to the
square mile than any other country,
as anyone who has been to Turkey
will agree. The peculiar` thing about
these spies is that they themselves
cannot be trusted, so that a regular
chain of spies is the result. There
are spies, to spy upon the spies: The•
Government officials have their own
spies to watch other people; but even
the great authorities themselves are
already being espied upon.
,What is more, the method of spying
is quite open, for the spies will stand
by wherever two or three foreigners
are gathered together, and listen to
the conversation: Visitors to Turkey
naturally get worried over such at-
tentions, especially when it might be
their bad luck to be followed about for
weeks or month s.
It is the "uninitiated" visitor who
usually receives the most attention,
since he or she will carry on conver-
sation in a quiet undertone. The per-
son who knows Turkey converses in a
loud tone for all and sundry—the
spies especially—to hear that he is
only engaged in pleasure or legiti-
mate business. Polities are naturally
given a 1?ack seat to avoid unneces-
sary trouble.

Fever is Raging Among Troops and,

An epidemic of typhoid fever, is
raging among the troops .and civilian
population of Asia Minor, according
to reports from •Constantinople. Sev-
enty -Ave physicians already have sue-
cumbed to the disease,
There is imminent danger that thea
Constantinople water works system.
will be compelled to suspend opera-
tions because of a shortage of coal
and. the output of flour mills has been
restricted for the same reason, with
the result that there is an insufficient
supply of bread. The situation is
said to be so serious that many Ger-
man families are leaving the Turkish
capital.
