Governor Paul Kruger has 104 grand- children. atusalem has neither street lamps, po• 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 name ,and address on a ticket round its 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.

"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.

"Right in our line !" roared my second cousin iagain. "Take hold, Mandy, and we'll show them how we clean house in the country! Gosh it was lucky that we came 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- mediately !surrounded by an excited crowd of street urchins who were under the din - premien that the house was afire, and who swarmed into the house to aid in the good work.

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. The hole wapoompleted when she reached the spot, and in It had been placed some- thing that she took out and examined with wondering curiosity.

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. M sical Clubs in Small Towns. "There is one principle that must be stris tly adhered to in any successful village mus cal society ; there must be no drones " wri es Professor Frank Waldo in an article on "Music in the Village," in the Septem- ber aches Home Journal, "'The instant that any one is admitted to membership on any • ther grounds than ability the decline of t e society has begun. • Regular attend- ance can be secured only by arousing the entbnsiasm of the members, t ' " he one word that expreisses the possi- bilit es of concerted instrumental mac:3 for the illage is orchestra, This word, while rath r pretentious in sound, may have an extr mely humble appliVniion.
