After leaving the sea Conrad continued to read with melancholy eagerness the 'shipping intelligence" in the news- papers, where he met the names of ships he had known—a steadily -thin - _ring list. "Marine intelligence" is a carefully -edited and neatly -arranged department of those newspapers which give space to it. First comes, as a rule, "Speakings," reports \of ships met or signalled at sea, from which friends ashore may take reas- surance, often strengthened by the words hall well." Below comes a list of "wrecks and casualties" gathered from all quarters of the globe. And en some days there ..appeals "the head- ing "Overdue," "an orhinous threat of love and sorrow trembling yet in the balance of fate." In a few days, or weeks, according to circumstance, if nothing more is heard, the name of the overdue ship again appears, this time under the final declaration of "Missing."' In Conrad's time no ship posted as miss- ing eves' came into port, while occas- ional cases were known of the safe arrival of a belated ship long posted as orerdue. This speaks well for the knowledge and judgment of the ex- perts who are called on to sign the ship's death certificate, a delicate de- cision, for when declared missing a ship is legally lost, and all -the legal consequences- of its loss follow, quite as though the details of the disaster were known. While it remains mere- ly overdue, on the contrary, hope is left, and for a while it may even be possible to reinsure ship and cargo at a heavy premium. If the ship turns up the optimistic insurance man makes a handsome profit. But his speculation grows more precar- ious with each passing day, and with the decision that the ship is missing the insurance money becomes due. "Missing," however, while it closes the record, may not be the last word. Wreckage may drift ashore or be sighted at sea, says The Springfield Republican, as in the case of Old Glory, to reveal its fate. "Lost with all hands" is then its official obituary, though novelists have made much play with cases of survivors who have come ashore or been picked up and who for reasons of their own have concealed their identity. In "lost with all hands" to Conrad there is "less horror and a less appalling darkness" than "missing." If a ship ehbu , ii u.

For the multitude the ;emotion evoked has been all the more intense for this concentration into the hours of a single day of the issue :between life and death, for the busy world cannot follow for months the blank mystery of the overdue. These, sharp and swiftly decisive strokes of misfortune piling up with ,curelative force are what have turned public opinion so quickly and com- pletely against this too hazardous kind of. adventure. But the "appal- ling darkness" of "missing," which so deeply stirs Conrad's imagination, must have done its part in bringing about this reaction. It was hard at first for people unused to the mys- tery eof the sea tie comprehend how one flying machine after anoter could vanish, leaving not a trace 'be- hind. Sailors could understand it, foil they have learned the vastness of the great deep by eee,tact with it, but to the landsrhan it is but a matter of theory that, the surface of the globe is three parts water. The oc- ean has swallowed up too many tall ships to have any trouble in hiding for all time the fate of a wrecked flying machine. And yet things that float may float a long time, and what floats may drift a long way; who shall say that no pathetic scrap will ever come to light to reveal the end of some of the lost adventurers of the ocean of air? The wreckage of Old Glory tells us little, but other flotsam may be more revealing. itou would\ give this handsome heater first place among them all for it$ wonderful appear. once alone.

A T;AMILY MEDICINE A Welland Lady Tells of the Value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in Her Home. "I have many reasons for praising Dr. Williams' ,Pink Pills," says Mrs. George L. Swick, R.R. No. 2, Welland, Ont. "My first experience with this medicine was in my girlhood, when, following an attack of scarlet fever, I was left in a badly run down condi- tion, and the pills restored me to good health. Later in my married life I had a severe attack of rheumatism. The pain in my right arm and shoul- der was so bad that I could not dress myself without help. Again I resort- ed to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and again they proved a blessing to me, as soon the rheumatic pains and stiff- ness disappeared and there has been no return of the trouble. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills have also been of great benefit to my children. One of my boys was threatened with St. Vitus dance. His limbs and face would twitch and jerk. I gave him the pills, and again they did not fail, as under the treatment the trouble ceased. I have also given the pills to my little girl, who was anaemic, and in this case also with the great- est benefit. Naturally when I hear anyone complaining( of not feeling well I recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as I knew of no other medicine to equal them in building up the blood and restoring health." Take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for anaemia, rheumatism, indigestion, neuralgia and other nervous troubles., Take them as a tonic if you are not in the best physical condition, and cultivate a resistance that will keep you well and strong. You can get these pills from any dealer in medi- cine, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. - CLOSED CARS AND OPEN ROADS MAKE MOTORING EASY ALL YEAR THROUGH The dominance of the closed car and the extensive winter snow clear- ance of main travelled roads have done much to reduce the seasonal peaks and valleys of motor vehicle sales, manufacture and service. It is not so many years ago that the average motorist put his car in dead storage for two or 'three months or longer every winter. To -day it is only the exotic motorist who does that. Motorists now regard their cars as perhaps a greater convenience and .comfort in cold and inclement weather than in the balmy days of late Spring, Summer and early Aut- umn. Even long distance motor tour- ingt in winter—a front page news feature a decade ago ---has become a commonplace practice, thanks to heated €losed cars and snow remov- al.

One day' he was drink- ing from the jug when a large col- ored woman, one o his customers, entered the store. "Say, boss, that locks mighty sus- picious," said the newcomer, with an interested look in her eyes. "This isn't what you think it is, auntie," said the butcher, wishing to tease her. "This isn't anything at all—just a little gin —a little cheap gin." "Lawdy, boy," said . the woman, quickening her steps, "you don't know what you is saying. Gin! That sho do make my mouth water." Only the proof of the contents of the jug would satisfy auntie that her aroused hopes were doomed to dis- appointment. A group of workmen at lunch hour were discussing evolution and the ori- gin of map. One of the party re- mained silent, when a companion turned on him and demanded his opinion. "I ain't goin' to say," he replied doggedly. "I rememberas how Flenry Green and me threshed that all out once 'before, an' it's settled s'far's I'm concerned.
