Say you enjoyed the meeting, or the singing, or that the prayers were helpful, or that the words spoken did yon good, or that the spirit of the meeting was excellent, Look for the best side of everything and applaud it. Nothing helps so much as a word of real en- couragement; it works like a charm; it gives confidence; it binds the society together with silken bands, and strengthens it mightly; it breaks down barriers and lets the sea of love flow in. Carping criticism is like a blight, it destroys all that is best and all that is beautiful; it is an evil spirit and should be carefully watched against and repaired. WARMTH.— In these cold winter days we appreciate warmth. I have been hearing a very important lesion from a flower. I was expecting it to bloom, but it did not and I waited and waited. Why did it not bloom? It ought to; I discovered one day; it wile being treat- ed to cold water, and chilled. The treatment was changed and hot water given, then it bloomed richly. So it is in all our societies and churches; we need a wanner, kindlier atmosphere to bloom. OUR QUESTION DRAWER.—We ex- pect to make this quite a feature in our "Budget."Here are what came to hand; (1) Can you give any scheme whereby we can get all the societies to fill in and send back the schedules sent them? Ans. All secretaries are not business men, patience is needed, and a constant reminding till they answer. ( Can you recommend a good book o i "How to read the Bible." These abound to -day, but one of the most recent, wi itten in view of the learning of our time, and' in a good spirit, is one by Prof. W. F. Sideney, M.IL, of New College, London. It may not he found in the bookstores; it is published by Thomas Whittaker, New York, and is one of the hest we have seen. Its • title is "How to read the Bible." THE KING OF BIRDS. 18 YEARS TOWN CONSTABLE. Mr B. Knisley, Haggereville, Ont., holds the record o having been town constable for 18 years. IIe says: "1 was cured of kidney and bladder weakness by 3 boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills. I often had to rise 5 or 6 times in the night on account of blad- der weaknesses.

J. M. McLeod, Prop. and Manufacturer HABITS AND HAUNTS OF THE BALD- HEADED EAGLE. !ills Home In the Mountains of Tennessee. Wonderful Sight and Groat Age—Harsh Treatment of Young—Fierce Flight* Be- tween the Captors Over ]Prey. Tho mountain solitudes and fastnesses: of Tennessee, which have figured so often of late in the stories and novels of John Fox, Charles Egbert Craddock and others, have among other respect inspiring na- tives many specimens of the American na- tional bird, the baldheaded eagle, which makes itjl eyrie among the lofty and ragged clefts and crags and pinnacles of the ranges. It is found on the Stone moun- tain, the great Roane, 6,206 feet high, on the Bald, at 6,660 -feet, and the Great Smoky range, which rises 6,680 foot, on the Bullhead, and in many other lofty places. For these splendid birds there is a never failing demand, and as a result there are many mountaineers who have become ex- port catchers of those mountain prizes, and who often reap rich rewards in return for perilous risks and daring adventures. Young eagles bring from $40 to $80, and occasionally $100, 'while eagles that aro of some age and of great size cost as much as $300, these being rarely captured, how- ever. Eagles which are killed in the at- tempt to capture them are valuable to tax- idermists, who always find an easy mar- ket for these great stuffed birds. Their feathers, especially those of wing and tall, are likewise sold for good prices. Tho eagle either builds its nest upon the top of a mighty tree growing far up on the mountain among myriads of twining vines and the thickest and most inaccess- able- bushes or shrubs or on the summit of a high rook. It is always a large one, strongly and comfortably built, large sticks and branches being laid together, nearly flat and bound with twining vines. The spacious inside is covered with hair and mosses, so minutely woven together that no wind can penetrate. Inthis abode the mother bird lays two eggs, which aro great curiosities- The long end of the egg tapers down to a point, while its color is a dirt or brownish red, with many dots and spots upon 1t The young birds are driven forth from the nest by their savage_ parents to scratch for themselves as soon as they are able to fly, and no training whatever is given them by the old bird. That is left to their in- stinct, which hunger and necessity develop. - There is no going bank to the old home for the young eagle, for the mother bird at once tears up every vestige of tbo nest where they have thriven since birth, and, while they emit plaintive shrieks, darts at them and pushes them off the Drage or rooks, and as they must take to their wings or fall this is how they learn to fly at once. It takes three years for a young eagle to gain its full and complete plum - ago and for the development of its strength. Once full grown, provided he does not meet with a violent death, an eagle should live between 80 and 160 years. Up in the mountains the eagle finds it as hard to gain subsistence as do the feath- ered grumblers of the plains below. The precariousness of his existence and the wild manner in which food is gathered seem to give the bird greater ferocity the older it grows. The eagles range among the mountains and valleys in pairs, their young never following, but doing the best they can by themselves. The stern, un social tyranny of the older- birds, begin ning with the casting out of the eaglets, manifests itself in later years in their treatment of their mates. If the male bird be the stronger, most of the prey belongs to him, and he allows the female to eat but a paltry share be- tween fierce thrusts of his beak. If the female is the stronger (and she generally is), the male bird cowers and winces un - dor many a fierce blow from his unfeeling wife, no matter how small the morsel he is striving to got. But when danger threatens no human pair battle so for- midably ornridably fpr themselves and each other as do two eagles. It is a noteworthy fact that each male has but ono mate during his lifetime. If the female is killed or cap- tured, the surviving male becomes an eagle hermit and fiercer than ever. Eagles are often seen near their nests together, but when the sun is shining they frequently take their majestic flight straight toward it until they disappear from sight. Sitting upon the mountain side their vision is so keen that they can see far down In tho valley a sheep or young goat, a big turkey or rooster, a small pig, a rabbit or partridge, and almost instan- taneously they descend upon their victim. Often when a largo calf or goat is to be attacked and carried off four or six of the great birds will unite and remove the oar - r: ; aft epee whon they will immb- dietely begin to light it out to see which of them is entitled to the choicest bits, '-t is truly a survival of the fittest in such combats as those- But an oagle.is r.la-7s confident of bis strength, and rare- ly overreaches hlra !f in such confllcte or in his t:..iro for prey.

History of a Long Standing Malady Given in Lucid Words by Mrs Albert Arm- strong, Hawthorn Row, Don Mills Rd. Todmorden, Ont. Than Mr and Mrs Armstrong there are probably no bettor known or more general- ly respected inhabitants of Todmorden. Mr Armstrong until lately was engaged in farming on the York town line between York and S.atboro, where he was born r n 1 brought up. Airs Armstrong gives the following ac- count of hee heart and nerve troubles, their origin and results, \Ve give in her own words the interesting words as she gave it to our representative. Says sirs Armstrong: "Ten years ago I was taken seriously ill witlj n.asles complicated with inflamma- tion of the lungs, Since that time my heart has bean affected, and I have never felt strong. I was troubled with palpitation so badly that I could hardly draw a long breath. nay heart fluttered very much,and I was often attacked by spells of weakness .dizziness, Bo that some times I was unable to walk. My eyes seemed to be covered as if with a mist, and I was subject to terrible pains in the back of my head and through my forehead. Cold perspiration would break out on my hands and feet, and I los: my appetite. Mentally 1 became most despondent,hav- ing a constant dread unforeseen about to happen. My sleep was pocr and disturbed with frightful dreams. In fact my nerves were completely unstrung, I could not bear even the slightest noieo. It was while in this condition I got a box of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, through the kind- ness of Mrs Vanhorn of this place,at U.W. Love's drug store, corner Broadview and Danforth avenues. Since taking them I have steadily and rapidly improved. The improvement is marked, indeed, for I feel daily getting stronger and better. My ap- petite is becoming quite healthy, ' and my nerves stronger and steadier, and the heart trouble gives me scarcely any annoyance at present. More than that, I am thankful to feel cheerful in mind,and more confident in the future. In fact I am stronger and better in every way. I connot too highly express my happiness at the marvellous change which Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills have effected in my case. They have truly helped me, and I am thankful to be able to give this testimony that others suf- fering similarly may receive benefit.
