DISEASE COMES
THROUGH THE 61000
To Cure "Common Ailments the Blood
Must be Made 'Rich and Red.
Neaely all the conamon diseases that
afflict mankind are caused by bad
blood -weak, watery blood poisoned by
iinpurities. Bad blood is the cause
of headaches and backaches, lumbrego
end rheumatism, debility and indige,s-
tion, neuralgia, sciatica and other
nerve troubles. It is bad blood that
causes disfiguring skin diseases like
eczema, and salt rheum, pimples and
eruptions. The zeverity of the trouble
Indicates hoar impure the blood is, awl
It goes always from bad to worse ten -
less eteps are promptly taken to enrich
and purify the blood. There Is no
use trying a different medicine for
each disease,' for they all come
through the one trouble -bad bleed.
To cure any of these tronbles you
must get right down to the root a the
trouble in the blood. That is just
'what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do. They
make new, rich, red blood, - They
simply purify and enrich the bleed,
and the dieease disappears. That is
Why Dr. Williams' Pink „Pills have
cured thousands of cases after other
medicines had failed. Here is proof of
the power of Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills
to our. Mrs. M. Stills, who resides
near the town of Napanee says: "I
cannot praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
too highly. I was very much run
down in health, suffered from fre-
quent epells of indigestion, Milieus-
ness and sick heedache. I had an
almost constant pain in my head and
my housework was a course of dread.
In fact I felt so miserable that life
held but little enjoyment. I was ad-
vised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
which I did, and the result was einanlY
marvellous, and can best be summed
up by saying that they made me feel
like a new woman, and fully restored
my health. I would advise every wo-
man _and girl who has poor blood, or
is run ,down in, health to give these
wonderful pills a trial. I am never
without them in the house."
At the first sign that the blood is
out of order take Dr. Williams' Plek
Pills, and note the speedy- improve-
ment they make in,the appettteelmalth
and spirits. You can get these pills
through any medicine dealer or by
mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for
$2.50 from The Dr, Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville, Ont.

this conelusion after examining fifty-
nine specimens of fells leo massalca,

The Meet conspicuous external
characteristics which distinguisaa the
Park -reared animate from the wild
lions of the same ago and from the
same region are much darker color,
More Mattriant mane, and much lon-
ger hair tufts on the back of elbows.
When the alcalillan lions appeared at
the park, their strange, pale, grayish,
buff Coloration was remarked as par-
ticularly beautiful, as the men at the
park had been accustomed to the
Much ilarker lions already in capti-
vity. When, after the death of the
animals, tlie skins reached the mus-
eum, the great darkening ot the gen-
eral color since their arrival was at
once noted. The degree ot color
change was in direct relation to the
period of life in Washington. Two of
the 'McMillan lions were melee and
three females, the females ,averaging
somewhat darker in color than the
males. The skin of one of the female
lions which lived for five years in the
park, ttfrned so dark that at a short
distance it gave tele appearanee of
a blackish -tawny enimal. The manes
and tufts °Limir on the back or the
elbows, of all the captive lions were
ntuch longer, more silky, and more
cinnamon buff in color than in wild -
killed animals.
In view ot the success of 'Mr.
Efeebe's experiments in lucre:le:me the
Pigmentation in birds., by confinement
In superhumicl atmosphere, it venal
perhaps seem unnecessary to go be-
yond the theory that the humid ell -
mate of Washingten acted in a eimi-
lar manner on these lions from the
highlands of East Africa to greatly
darken the color of the skin.
In' the skull, the changes wrought
by captivity are even greater. Tile
slculls of the captive BUIE are broad-
er and shorter, more . masstee aud
bulky, and show many relative dif-
ferences which in wild animals would,
be instantly accepted as sufficient evi-
dence on whitah to bazie a pew selectee.
The obvious reason for tliese great
ditferences is that the principal mus-
cles operating the jaws and neck
(those muscles used by a wild lion in
irauling and killing- gamebiting,
gripping and shaking), have had lit-
tle influence on the shape of the

POETICAL SAPS.
Whole Nation Most Poetical Race
On Earth.
"Perhaps it would not be far wrong
to say that the Japanese are the most
peetical nation in tbe world," William
N, Porter says, in the introduction to
this compilation, "A Year of Japanese
Epigrams." "From their earliest sebool
days claldren are taught the conven-
tional rules for composing verse; and,
having in addition all the inherited
knowledge and Poetic appreciation
handed down from past generations, it
is not surprising to find that verses
are compoeea' and jotted down 'UP=
all occasionsand on all subjeets. Po-
etry is in the alr; poetical parties take
the place be our bridge drives; picnics
are given, when the guests aro in-
vitee to view some specially fine
flowering trees awl are expectea to
compose verses, which are then Write

January a National Poetical contest,
called lita-awae.e, takes place, when
each one 111 the land. from the highest
to the lowest, is allowed to send in A
verse on a special subject chosen by
the Emperor. The results are cares
fully sorted out, classified and finally
reduced to the few best, which are
then read out and published in the
newspapers,
"Verses are to be found on pictueee,
screens, fans, ehina, towels, handker-
chiefs; most newspapers and maga-
zines publish peetree the people sing
while at work. I have even known a
japanese studenb to preduce verses in
the unromantic smoke of a north of
England town.

thirty-one syllablem and for many
years this was the only kind of verse
known in Japan. flut inthe fifteenth
and sixteenta centuries a kind of lit-

renga; one person composed the first
three lines of a tanka verse and the
other player?, had to extentporize a
