TIRED GIRLS IIOW WIND PRODUCES WAVES.. WHAT CIIv-c?HED IT. DECAYING OF WOODS.
Will Find., Health and Strength
Through Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills.
There is a time in the life of every
girl when the strain upon her blood
becomes too great; when she -grows
weak; has headaches and back-
aches ; when dizziness seizes her
and she becomes- extremely miser-
able. That is the time of life she
needs a tonic—a medicine that will
not fail to enrich her blood and
give her strength to withstand the
changes through which she is pass-
ing. Such a tonic is Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. They
have raised thousands of growing
girls out of the depths of misery
and despair to a full enjoyment of
good health and strength. Among
those who have found good health
'through these Pills is Miss Suddard
tJ Haldimand. Que., concerning
whose case her mother writes as
fellows :—"Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills have been a great benefit to
my daughter who was weak and
miserable. She was pale, easily
tired and was bothered with indi-
gestion. The use of the Pills has
brought back her health, and made
her strong and active. I am very
grateful for what this wonderful
medicine has done for her."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the
greatest blood builder known to
medical science. That is why they
cure anaemia, rheumatism, heart
palpitation, indigestion, neuralgia,
etc. That is why they are of such
value to women and girls during
the changes through which they
pass from -girlhood • to maturity.
The Pills are sold by all medicine
dealers or direct by mail at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2.50
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine'
Co., Brockville, Ont.
PARIS LIRE FROGS' LEGS.
They are Very Popular as Edibles
in French Capital.
The popularity of frogs' legs as
an edible in the _French capital, is
indicated by the fact th'at in the.
Paris Hailes more than 4,000 paundz
of frogs' legs are sold /daily. The:
.come mostly from the Mendes,
where the soil is fiat and swampy •
Frogs are exported now in large
•numbers to London clubs and ho-
tels, where they occasionally figure
on the till of fare as "nymphes en
brochette." The best frogs fet^h
about a dollar for a skewer of tee.
nails, which, like oysters', should
never be eaten in any month that
has no "It" in it, are close rivals
oI the frogs. France has a steady
consumption of between 60,000,000
and 80,000,000 snails annually.
The wholesale price of raw live
snails varies between $3.25 and $6
a thousand, while between $10 and
$13.50 a thousand is paid for snata
cooked and prepared for eatit.g_-
The latter variety is now-begin/1114
to be largely exported abroad, and
there seems to be a fair demand fte
them in the United States.
The finest snails come from the
• snail farms of Burgundy and the
Jura district, where they are'speci-_
ally reared. .1t takes about three
years to bring"a snail to maturity,
but this refers to the finest qua
lity only. A plot of. 200 square
yards will easily..accommodate 10;-
000 snails, and as the animal pro-
duces sixty young every year the
rearing of them is a profitable busi-
ness. One snail farmer this sear
son has sold 8,000,000 of them. •-
The snail harvest is in the wti
ter time, when they are h-ibernas
ing. They are collected and thrown
into boiling salt water, .which
makes them leave their shells.
Snails and shells are quickly separ-
ated, and the rest is the_ secret of
the French chef.
&NXIOU$ MOMENTS
FOR YOUNG MOTHERS
The hot weather months are an
anxious time for all mothers, but
particularly for young mothers.
They are the most fatal time of the
year for babies and young children,
because of the great prevalence of
stomach and bowel troubles. These
come almost without warning and
often before the mother realizes
that there is danger the little one
may be beyond aid. No other me-
dicine can equal Baby's Own Tab-
lets in promptly curing bowel and
stomach troubles and an occasional
dose given the well child will keep
the stomach and bowels free from
offending matter and ensure good
health to the child. Therefore the
Tablets should always be kept in
the home as they may be the means
of saving a little life. Sold by me-
dicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
Its Action Upon Desert Sand and
Prairie snow.
There are wind waves in water,
' sand and snow. The great sea
waves are produced at that part of
a cyclone where the direction of the
wind coincides with the direction
of advance of the depression. Along
the line of advance the wave in
their progress are accompanied by
a strong wind blowing across their
ridges as long as the atmospheric
depression is maintained. So the
waves are developed until they be-
come steep. The average height in
feet is about half the velocity of the
wind in miles.
A wind of fifty-two miles an hour
gives waves of an average height
of twenty-six feet, although indi-
vidual waves will attain a height
of forty feet. The prevailing wind
in all longitudes is westerly, so
wherever a westerly wind springs
up it finds a long westerly swell,
the effect of a previous wind still
running, and the principal effect of
the newly born wind is to increase
the steepness of the alreadyrun-
ning long swell so as to form ma-
jestic storm waves, which some-
times attain a length of 1,200 feet
from crest to crest. The longest
swells due to wind are almost in-
visible during storms, for they are
masked by the shorter and steeper
waves, but they emerge into view
after or beyond the storm.
The action of the wind to drift
dry sand in a procession of waves
is seen in the deserts. As the sand
waves cannot travel by gravitation
their movements are entirely con -
trolled by the wind and they are
therefore much simpler and more
regular in form and movement than
ocean waves. In their greatest
heights of several hundred feet the
former become more complex ow-
ing to the partial consolidation of
the lower layers of sand by pres-
sure, but they still have the char-
acterestic wave features.
In the Winnipeg prairies of Canada
freshly fallen snow isd rifted by
wind- in a procession of regular
waves -progressing with a visible and
ghostlike motion. They are similar
to desert sand waves, but less than
half as steep, the wave length being
fifty times as great as the height.
The flatnes of the wind formed
snow waves affords a valuable in-
dication of the great distance to
which hills shelter from the wind.
A Geeeral Favorite.—In every
place` where introduced Dr. Tho-
mas' Eclectric Oil has not failed•:to
establish a reputation, showing -that
the sterling qualities which it pos-
sesses are valued everywhere when
they become known. It is in gen-
eral use in Canada and other coun-
tries as a household medicine and
the demand- for it each year shows
that it is a favorite .wherever used.

WORK FOR CANNIBALS.
"Almost idyllic happiness pre-
vailed in many,of the eastern Paci-
fic islands a hundred years ago,"
said Sir Edward im Thurn, Gayer -
nor of Fiji. "Among -the feroci-
ous inhabitants -of Fiji, however,
cannibalism was practised to an ex-
tent never at any time equalled
elsewhere. The -custom 'appears to
have been shared by 'white rene-
gades who had settled among them.
A problem of employment in the
remote Gilbert and Ellice islands,
formerly equally barbarous, was
caused by the prohibition of in-
ternecine warfare—formerly the
natives' chief occupation. It was
difficult, in view of the character of
the islands to find them fresh pur-
suits.' •
EVERYBODY SHOULD CRY.
Everybody should cry, and "have
the cry out," when there is due
occasion for it. Such is the opin-
ion of a London, England, medical
man, a specia..st in nervous dis-
eases and disorders. "Dry eyed
grief, such as one sometimes sees
at a graveside, is far more terrible
than crying," he said. "When there
is great mental stress the blood
rushes to the temples and, acting
on the tear ducts, forces tears from
the eyes. "This is natural, and a
great relief is at once felt by the
sufferer The brain is, as it were,
put under an anesthetic and the
keen sense of grief vanishes."
"Youshouldn't treat your boy so
harshly ; you'll break his spirit."
"Well, he'll probably get married
some time, and he might as well
have it broken now !"-
The young man—"I wish to thank
you ,sir, giving me your assistance
in persuading your daughter to
• marry me."
The old man—"Sir, I was violent-
ly opposed to the match."
The young man—"I know it.''

Exterminator. It effectually ex-
pels worms and gives health in a
marvellous manner to the little

insured in Germany under the in-
validity and old age pensions act.
Last year the total cost of •adminis-
tration - wase $3,774,250; old -age -
pensions amounted to $4,325,000,
invalid pensions amounted to$32,-.
600,000 and $2,000,000 was spent in
returning premiums in case of mar-
- riage or death.

It is an undisputed fact that
one packet of Wilson's Fly Pads

quantity can ever be found in a
well kept house, but whether they
be few or many ,Wilson's Fly Pads
will kill them all.
