"The late james Johnston then had hia

A Few Suggestions Regarding Health.
The practice of taking a tonic during the

more than they o to -day. The custom has

Thousands not eally ill, need a tonic at
this season. Chime confinement in badly
ventilated house, offices, shops and school
rooms during the winter months, makes peo-
ple feel depressed and " out of sorts." Na-
ture must be aesisted in throwing off the
poison that has accumulated in the system,
else people fall an easy prey to disease, anci
are subject to mi ny discomforts from boils,
eruptions, and imilar trim-WeisDr. Wil-

the highest price heretofore paid. ,
A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. -Emil Segerlin, a
well to do farmer, living eight miles north-
east of tho town of Devil's Lake, North
Dakota' killed his three -children and
stabbedhimself to death one day tut

by two little datighters, aged eeven and

eldest danghter, aged nine, was Sent to call
him. It is thought that before she reached
the barn her father had killed the othere,
and then immediately killed her. Both the
other children- were killed with a knife.'
Segerlin was sent to an asylum about ten
years ago, but was Soon allowed to return
home, apparently fully reeovered. He was
a hard working mau, well thought of, and
in an excellent financial condition. Tbere
is no doubt that he was insane when he
committed the crime. '

It is little wonder that foreigners are in
despair in learning to speak the English
language. One of the greatest difficulties 1.
the way in which the same syllable founds
have often very different meanings. -
" You'll get run in," said the pedestrian
to the wheelman without a light.
"You'll get run into," savagely respond-
ed the cyclist as he knocked the pedestrian
down and ran up his spine.
" You'll get run, in, too," aaid the police-

Improved His Holidays.
In these days, when a school house is not.
infrequently closed because of the preval-
ence of some contagious disease, an incident
of school attendance, told by the Westmins-
ter Gazette, is worth preserving.
Thomas Ward, a Wolworth lad, recently -
left school with a special medal awarded*
on account of his constant attendance,
without a eingle absence, during the eleven
years since he WWI four eears of age.
The proud mother was aaked to explain
how this apparently impossible feat had
been eccomplished. "Did he have thee
usual childish diseases -measles, whooping
cough, and so forth ?"
"Oh, yes, sir," was the reply.
"How then, could he have always been at
school ?"
"Please, sir, he had them during tbe
holidays," wa,s the interesting reply.
