licemen, postmen, nor newspapers.
Ladysmith, which figures so prominently
in the war messages, is one of the oldest,
largest and healthiest towns in Natal.
• Violent exercise in sultry weather is very
apt to produce 'convulsions, and one such
attack 'nay 'predispose a child to fits for
life. •
A baby carriage with a fan attached is
the latest_ novelty. The wheeling of the
carriage operates the fan just above the
child's face.
Ground mustard mixed with a little
water and rubbed over the hands removes
sbrong odors from them. Linseed Meal ane -
were the same purpose.
Bran water may be made by pou. ring a
quart of boiling water on I pound of bran,
and straining through muslin. It is very
softening to a dry and irritable skin.
The soil of Egypt at the present day is
tilled by exactly the same kind of plough
that was used 5,000 years ago.
It is said that three-quarters of the
women in insane asylums are farmers' wives,
and a scientist promptly oomee forward to
say that early rising is conductive to in-
sanity.
Skim milk in moderate quantities has
often been fed to young colts after weaning,
with good results.- If the colt has been well
3ared for up taweaning time, feeding milk
is hardly ever necessary.
For country griddle cakes take one quart
sour milk, one quart flour, one teaspoonful
soda, one-half teaspoonful salt, and beat un-
til light and frothy and full of bubbles;
bake on a hot griddle, and you will have
delicious cakes.
A man never realises the superiority of
woman so much as when he is sewing on a
button without a thimble, pushing the
needle against the wall to get it half -way
through, and pulling it through the other
half by hanging on to it with his teeth.
When the slightest odor is perceptible
about any milk utensil it is unclean.
When a white cloth rubbed over a dry but -
ter bowl or paddle is discolored neither
bowl nor paddle is clean. Both can be kept
immaculate with frequent scouring with
rather ooarse salt.
The bride's veil had its origin, it is said,
in the Anglo•Saxon custom of performing
the ceremony under a square piece of cloth,
held at each corner by tall men over the
bridegroom and bride to conceal the lattees
blushee. If the bride was a widow the veil
was dispensed with.
From one ond of Japan to the other a
child is treated as a sacred thing, be it one's,
own or a stranger's. Eaoh one carries He

neck; but should ib indeed stray from home
food and shelter and kindness would meet it
everywhere.
In preparing apple fritters make a batter
with one oup of milk, one teaspoonful of
sugar, two eggs, whites and yolks beaten
separately, two cups of flour sifted with
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Chop
or cut fine four tart apples, Mix with batter
and fry in spoonfulls in hot fat. Serve with
maple syrup or a sugar syrup made by
boiling one cup of sugar with one-half cup
of hot water.
One of the most wonderful farme in the
world is situated in Canada. Ito peoularity
lies in the fact; that everything is worked by
eleotricity. Two waterfalls within the
bounds of the farm, some 60 feet and 180
feet high, furnish the motive power, a cen-
tral power house being erected near, and
the current is transmitted by wires to every
available place on the farm.

Desirability of Truth Telling.
s" I am going to stick to the truth here-
after," said Jones, as he bit savagely at the
end of his cigar. "The other day while I
was at home my wife chanced to look out
of a window, and I heard her give a gasp as
she did so. I looked Up from my paper and
my wife gave me a book of horror.

yours, his wife, three children, two dogs
and something in a cage," she oried, tragic-
" What has ever possessed them to
leave the country and inflict themselves
upon us?" There is no telling when they
will go away, and I simply cannot take the
time to entertain them 1"

we'll show them how we clean house in the

just as we did."
"In spite of my protests and my wife's
tears, they caught up • our furniture and
carried it into the street, where it was im-

STOMACH TROUBLE.
A Frequent Source of the Most
Intense Misery.
Mr. Harvey Price, of Bismark, Suffered for
Years Before Finding a Care—Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills Restored Him.
Those who suffer from stomach troublee
are truly to be pitied. I Life seems a burden
to them ;-, food is distasteful, and even that
of the plainest kind is frequently followed
by nausea, distressing pains and sometimes
vomiting. Such a sufferer was Mr. Harvey
Price, a well-knownfarmer and stook -grow-
er, living at Bismark, Ont. To a reporter
who recently interviewed him. Mr. Price
said :—" I have found Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills of such incalculable value in relieving
me of a long siege of suffering that I am not
only willing but anxious, to say a good word
in behalf of this medicine, and thus point.
the road to health to spme other sufferer.
For five. years I had been afflicted with
stomach trouble and a torpid liver. I doc-
tored and also denied myself of many kinds
of food 'pleasant to the; taste, but neither
the medical treatment nor the diet seemed
to help me to any degree. In January,
1899, the climax of my trouble appeared to
be reached. At that time I was taken down
with la grippe and that, added to my other
troubles, placed me in f such a precarious
position that none of My neighbors looked
for my recovery. My appetite was almost
completely gone, and I experienced great
weakness and dizzinese, vomiting spells and
violent headaches. I was also troubled with
a cough, which seemed to rack my whole
system. I shall never fOrget the agony ex-
perienced during that leng and -tedious sick-
ness. Medical treatment and medicines of
various kinds had no a parent effect in re-
lieving me. After exist1 ng in this state for
some eronths my mother induced me to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pille. In May last I
purchased three boxes, i and before those
were gone undoubted relief was experienced.
Thus encouraged I continued the use of the
pills, and with the use of less than a dozen
boxes, I was again enjoying the beet of
health. I can now attend to my farm work
with the greatest ease. iMy appetite is bet-
ter than it has been for years, and the stom-
ach trouble that so long imade my life mis-
erable had vanished. I have gained in
weight, and can safely say that 1 am enjoy-
ing better health than I have done for
years before. I feel quite, sure that those
who may be sick of ailing, will find a cure
in a fair trial of Dr. Williants' Pink Pills."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make pure, rich
blood, thus reaching the root of disease and
driving it out of the system, curing when
other medicines fail., Most of the ills afflict-
ing mankind are due to an impoverished
condition of the blood, or weak or shattered
nerves, and for all these Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills are a specific which speedily restores
the sufferer to health. These pills are
never sold in any form except in the com-
pany's boxes, the wrapieer round which
bears the full name " Dr._ Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale.People." All othere are coun-
terfeits andi should always be refused. Get
the genuine, and be made, well.

Growing a Grandmother.
He was a wee little map, only three years
old, but very brave, courageous, and uncom-
plaining—more courageous and uncomplain-
ing—than any one knew, for though he was
only a baby, he had. trials to bear. The
family had gone to a new country in the Far
West, the mamma, this little man, and the
sister, a little older.
It was a very new country, very different
from the city in the East, where they had
left many friends, relatives, and nearest of
all, a dear old grandmother. The mamma
was so busy in her new home that she had
little time to devote to the babies, except to
see that they were clean and well fed. So -
the little ones were lonesome sometimes, as
mamma found out one day in a way that
brought tears to her eyes. The little three-
year-old had been very busy and quiet,
making a big hole in the ground with such
earnestness of parpose that fearing the little
fellow was planning some mirsehief, she went
to see what was being done.

Brave Horsemanship.
Monsieur de Pages, in his Travels
Round the World," relates an extraordin-
ary instance of courage and endurance on
the part of a man and his horse. It occur-
red at the Cape of Good hope. The writer
would have found theestory hard of belief,
he says, only that he arrived there on the
da after the event occurred, and saw the
ve ement emotione of sympathy, blended
wi h admiration, which it had excited in the
mi d of every person at the Cape.
uring a violeet gale, a vessel in the
ro de dragged her anchors and was driven
on the rocks. Most of the craw were soon
wa hed overboard and drewned, but some
we e desoribed from the shore, clinging to
the wreck. The sea ran high, and the
wa es broke with such fury on the boomed
yes el that no boat could venture out to the
wok of rescue.
eanwhile a farmer; considerably e.dvan-
oed in years, had come from his farm to be
a pectator of the tragedy. His heart
me ted at the sight, and' knowing the
epi it of hie horse and its wonderful strength
an endurance as a swimmer, he determin-
ed o attempt a rescue.
e blew a little brandy into his horse's
nos rile, and pushed into the- midst of the
bre kers. At first both man and beast die -
app ared, but they came into, sight again,
and were seen swimming near the wreck.
Th n, after a period of great, 'anxiety, they
res peered near the shore, struggling with
the breakers. Shouts of joy went up when
it sas found that two seilors were °hiving
to t e rider's boots and had been safely
lanc ed.
S ven times the perilchis trip to the wreck
was made, and fourteen lives were saved.
On he eighth trip, horse and rider being
wel -nigh spent, a formidable wave broke
ove them, and the farmer lost his balance,
fell, and was overwhelined in a moment.
The gallant horse swam safely to land, but
his rave rider was no more.

WORKERS AND DRO ES.
It is important in wintering bees to
have a well formed brood nest.
Comb building ceases at the w riding up
of the honey flow at any seasin of the
year.
If bees can gather honey durin , the fall
months, usually the brood nes be -
well formed.
To have bees do well in wi.ter they
should be kept very quiet, wit no dis-
turbance whatever. [ -
If bees are wintered in the ce har, they
must be kept quiet throughout ad in ut-
ter darkness all the time. .
Bees that are wintered in ch if hives
may have the entrances to t e .
closed entirely during cold weath -
Nothing will advance the proems of
the apiary so -well as a supply •f: empty
combs. With good care they wil last in-.
definitely.
Empty combs that are not in he hives
and protected by the bees are 1. danger
of being destroyed by .moth WOrgi5.. "'Fu-
migating with sulphur is the ties,. means
of ridding them of moth. --St. L uis Re-

mined in some of the mountains of the ou-
dan. Search will be made for coal.

Separate Towels for Childre4.
Two or more children should not be per-
mitted to use the same towel. Each child
should have a separate one, and be taught
to regard it as personal property. Towels
may be bought with initials woven in them,
which makes it easy for the owner to dis-
tinguish his own. Diseases of the eye and
skin diseases are easily communicated by
the indiscriminate use of the same towel by
different pe -sons. If carefulness in this
matter be inculcated in childhood it may
save much Buffering—September Ladies
