In the near past the theory that con- sumption was incurable wee generally accepted, 'I o• lay all thie is changed. It aura been proved that tuberculosis can be cured, and the dreadful hopeless - MSS of the affliction is thus mitigated. In its place comes the knowledge that with peuper treatment, care and noun- isbmeut the disease may be controlled nt least in its early stages. Tuberculosis has spread within the last few' years with alarming rapidity until its prevalence is greater in Now York State than insanity. At one time it was not considered infectious; at present it is. The old accepted theory thatitv ' as hereditary in many families huts been proved a false one, and the method of stamping out the scourge to- day is precautionary, as in the ease of any other infectious disease. Tuberculosis attacks not only the young, the middle aged and the old, but very young children as well. A visit to any sanetoritun will show a wide range in tato age of the cases, froth the child to the man or woman verging on sixty. It is do respecter of persons, of age, of sta- tion, of caste. Rico and poor, young and old, strong and weak are alike victims of its insidious advances. The fresh air cure is regarded to -day from a medical standpoint as almost in- fallible. Air, air for these poor afflicted ones whose lungs are incapable of per- forming their functions. How to get this pure air so essential to relief and eure to those who cannot afford to avail themselves of the sanatoriums establish- ed for this purpose is a problem which the members of the Stony Wold Sana- torium set themselves to solve. Origin of the Home. A small band of philanthropic women determined to establish a sanatorium in the Adirondacks for workiug girls'af- fiicted with tuberculosis. It was a small baud at first, but its object appealed so strongly to the charitable that the asso- ciation grew and grew until to -day the membership in the auxiliaries numbers 1,425, with a strong Board of Directors and a solidly founded corporation, con- nected with and interested in which are to be found some of the best names in New York City. The Stony Wold Sanatorium was in- corporated April. 1, 1901. Since that time by voluntary subscription and annual dues it has purchased a beautiful estate in the Adirondacks and during the past year has cared for over one hundred and twenty cases. The estate now owned by the Stony Wold Sanatorium Corporation had long been a favorite resort of the hunter and the fisherman, who made their liead- quarters at the hotel on the spot where the sanatorium now stands. Far removed from the noise and tur- moil of cities, on the borders of a beau- tiful lake, sheltered by mountains on the north and surrounded by dense for- ests where none by the hunter has pene- trated, no more ideal spot could have been chosen for the sanatorium than the tract of land which still retains the In- dian name "Kushaqua" (beautiful rest- ing place). The visitor whose only knowledge of Stony Wold has been gleaned from, the daily papers is astounded to find what has been done here in two short years by a small handful of women for the care . and relief of their less fortunate sisters suffering from tuberetiloeis. Even the members of the corporation when they visit Kushaqua for the first time are amazed at the result of their labors. The little railway station is but two minutes' walk from the buildings. Pa- tients remain in the same car from New York to Kushagna, and on their arrival are spared the fatigue of a long stage ride. Beautiful Setting. Prom the train the passing traveller has a good view of the sanatorium and of the beautiful fountain recently don- ated by Dr. James E. Niewoomb. Near by a small mound, surmounted by a group of silver Minh trees, marks, ac- cording to dnedition, the fast cresting place of Kushaqua, great Indian chief. 'The visitor, approaching the sanator- ium from :this aide, drives under e. Iarge porte-cochere and enters a double hall, the doors on the opposite side of which open upon a piazza 178 feet long, from which can be seen some of the highest mountains in the Adirondacks. In 'the centre of the main hall is a double fireplace, in which on chilly days the eracklmg pine loge braze forth a cheering welcome to the arriving guest, To the left ere the library, dining room and butler's pantry; to the right the re- ception room, +offices, pharmacy and as- sembly room. From the .main hall a wide stairway leads to the second floor, where are found the rooms set apart' for the houso staff, the meeting room of the Boated of Directors, the guest rooms and the linen closets. On the third floor aro the dormitories for the children and the servants' rooms. Dormitory A, to the right of the cen- tral building and connected with it by a wide pamssage, is the only one of the four dormitories originally planned that has been built. The foundation of a second dormitory is ready for the superstruc- ture, and awaits only the needed funds for its completion. The dormitory accommodates twenty- five wentyfive patients and two nurses, and has its own sitting room, e n peeler and piazza, roomsdiet well model bath and as w 1 as kitehens. Elegance With Comfort. All the furnishings, from the dainty bedrooms ,to the handsome assembly room, while conveying an idea of ole- gaatce and comfoet, are most artistic in every detail, the greatest care having been taken in the selection of each piece of furniture. At every turn great imitates of wild flowers atsid baskets of ferns and, as the season advances, branches of brilliant autumn leaves give evidence of long tramps through the woods. More than ane hundred patients, four• teen of them children, have been eared for rpt Stony Wold during the last year, mealy of them having returned to their diomese cured or well enough to tresutne work. One boy tastes great pride in claiming the distinction of beang the "first cure." The Stony Wold Sanatorium is an In- corporated body, its *blot being the care of young women, children, girls and boys (to the age of twelve) afflicted with tuberculosis. There ore seventeen auxiliaries, eaelt etuxillaury pledging itself to raise seven hundred and fifty dollen a year. 'Those auxiliaa•ies support as many patients as 'their treasury allows them to. It is cal- cnistted that it costs two dollars a day for each patient. Patients who can pay do so to the extent of their ability. The sanatorium is .supported entirely by volunteer subscription. Beyond the one big fee/Alen given at the Wealdorf- ,Astotia two years ago under the aus- pices of Miss Leary, there lout been no bather, telteert er rheiriteoblo entertain- ment of any kind by the Stony \Vold Oteeporatlon, thonglh the eeparate nn ll. taxies 'hold funotione during the wlntae Oa the uprjoea Of raising their pledged dsubollars,scription of seven hundred and fifty Donations of warm clothing, boavy shoes, raps, glovee,'traps, rugs, and fur. coats to make the patients comfortable , .. are greatly deeded now that the winter is approaching, especially in view of the intense cold which prevails in that high altitude. Money is also needed for the comple- tion of the second dormitory, the in- creased number of applicants making more accommodations a necessity. It is of great importance that the power house and farm buildings should be com- pleted as soon as possible and the farm systematically developed. Att m' i 's the present time the sanitorium i dependent on the neighboring farmers for the milk supply. These men refuse to submit to a medical examination of their cattle, and it is therefore impos- sible to- insure absolutely pure milk for the consumption of the patients. Any one with any knowledge of the nature of tuberculosis knows that pure milk is one of the essential factors to a cure of arrest ef the' disease. Besides the supply of milk from the untested cows of the neighboring farm- ers, it is possible to obtain Pastuerized milk from Chateaugay, several miles away, but this is not only difficult, and sometimes impossible, daring the winter, but very expensive. The great need at present is a good barn for forty or fifty cows, which will render the milk supply purer and less costly. During the winter eggs cost over thirty cents a dozen. It is believed tbot, tak- ing into count the enormous nue:,her of eggs used during the. winter months alone at the sanitorium, they could bo supplied more cheaply by constructing poultry houses and raising chickens than they can be bought in the open market, taking into consideration, of course ,the value of the meat of the • non -laying fowls. Scientific Dieting. Part of the cure, and a very important part, is the dieting. Raw eggs form the principal ingredient, and the raw eggs are swallowed after every meal by a dieting patient, The object of the milk and eggs is to produce new blood, new tissue, to make up for the lost blood and tissue ravaged by the disease. The "open air treatment" has been found to be more efficacious than any other, and it is astonisheving how quickly the patients accustom themselves to con- stant exposure to cold, rain, snow to any kind of weather—going outdoors in storms which when they were well and strong they never would have ventured to face. The craze for open air becomes al- most a mania for them. They become so imbued with the fact that fresh air, no matter how cold, how stormy, is going to heal the poor, diseased organ that they rush into it and clutch at the benefit it is to be to them as a dying man does the proverbial straw. The children afflicted with tuberculo- sis—and how many children there are victims of this dread disease!—are very happy up at Stony Wold. Mrs. Eliza- beth Wilmot Newcomb, the president, in her annual report, comments on the hap- piness of the children: "Two large rooms on the third floor," she says, "have been converted into wards for children, thus affording , accommodation for sixteen. Boys more than twelve years old are not admitted. At present we have four boys and seven girls, -ranging from eight to eleven years, all suffering from pulmonary tub- erculosis. 'They have each gained several pounds and are much benefited by the open air treatment, which they insist upon taking in a more energetic manner than the older patients—sliding down hill, riding on the logs with the lumber- men, building snow houses and enjoying themselves in numerous other ways familiar to children.' Good loa Has to reach a HIGH STANDARD. SUFFERING WOMEN Find Health and Strength in the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Every growing girl and every wo- man nearing middle life suffers from ailments peculiar to her sex. At these times the health and happiness of every girl and woman depend upon the richness and regularity of her blood. Look at the young girl whose blood is weak and' watery, Her face is pale, her lips and gums bloodless. Her head aches. and her back aches. She has no energy, no life, a poor appetite and no desire for exercise. She complains that even to walk up- stairs leaves her breathless. And the woman in middle life — she is ner- vous, irritable and depressed — liable to sudden attacks of pain and dis- tress, -,that only a woman knows of, She turns from food; horrible dizzi- ness, hot and cold flashes, makes her life miserable. But Dr. Williams' Pink Pills banish all this misery, be- cause they fill the veins with rich, strong, healthy Wood, which gives tone and strength to every delicate organ. The case of Mrs, Geo. Danby, of Tillbury, Ont., is one of the many that proves that no medicine can compare with Dr. Williams' Pink Pille in curing the ills of woman- kind. Mrs. Danby gays i "I think Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a bless- ing to suffering women. For a long time I was a great sufferer from the ailments that affect so many of my sex. I was extremely nervous at all times, suffered a great deal with headaches and indigestion. In fact, I was in a thoroughly miserable condi• tion when I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but after taking them a short time 1 began to im- prove and, through their further use, f am note feeling like a new wo- man. I am sure if all siek women Would take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills they would be convinced of the great good they can do." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can make 'every ailing girl and suffering woman in the land strong rind healthy if they are given a fair trial.

Mr. Charles Sumner used to please himself by saying ing that at his instance the diameter of a nickel five -cent piece "represented something in the metric system; but, alas 1 of a million people who put a nickel into a slot or pay a trolley car conductor with it, not one knows or cares whether it be a millimetre wide or a kilimetre. Simply they will have nothing to do with the metric system. When the original French commission presented its final report to the great Na- poleon, they ended with expressing the wish and hope that the world, then pretty badly divided, might be really united. It would hardly do to any that the distinguished learned men offered a hi prayer for t sttr ose forprayer p praq r waa not much in their line. But they did express the hope that the world might be united under the sway of one em- peror, whose name was to be Napoleon, in the use of one language, which was to be the French language, and of one system "of weights and measures" This hope has not yet been accomplished., Even the manufacturers and machinists of France itself, while they comply with the statutes of their country so far as Ito use metre -sticks instead of yard- sticks, in the arrangement of their ma- t their workme and mills satisfy hthemselves old measures and the old language. And the machin- ists and manufacturers of England and America will not use the lt'rench methods even in form. A movement more practical has devel- oped itself in England, in which men of r science who understand the theories and men of method who understand perform- ance, and apparently a good many ideal- •ists who seek for harmony and unity everywhere, have engaged. I am writing , these lines because a representative of these gentlemen is now in America, and what he has to say will interest intelli- gent American readers. To use an epigram which is now famil- iar, the effort and hope of these gentle- men rests in evolution rather than in revolution. Instead of destroying every- thing which is, they hope to begin with something, which is, and to work out from it practically into something which !may be. Everybody who understands '.English knows what the word "inch" means. The inrh enters very largely into our combination of measures, and, it we !know it, into our system of weights. Perhaps the most simple of the reforms 'proposed by this society is the marking distinctly of the decimal multiples of the inch on your foot rules and measurng tapes, while the old multiple by twelve are still continued. On a yard stick, for instance, ten inches would be distinctly marked, twenty inches would be dis- tinctly marked, and thirty inches, while the yard -stick might still indicate a half -yard, or the quarter -yard. You can Icarry in your pocket, indeed, as a sort of metric object Iesson, a little square cup which contains a cubic inch. With only a slight change in local legislation ,the pint and quart and gallon now in use could be conformed to decimal mul- tiple of the cubic inch. The old names could bo retained. As the now speak of :a wine gallon or a milk gallop, we should speak of the new gallon which was based mon this well-established centre. If by some happy legislation, not specially in- ' genious, the quart of dry measure and the quart of wet measures could be made 'the same, a good deal would be gained in :practical life. This is no place to discuss the curious detail which the English society brings !forward by way of showing its hopes, not to say its expectations, of what may come if you begin squarely with the inch, a measure known and recognzed now by half of the civilized world, if ,not by the whole.

This is an exaggerated invention of the sort of question with which the arithmetics are half full, Of which the result in active life, after John has married the sweetheart whom he met at seltool, and they have three or four children, is that Amanda has to send to the druggist for the drops which are put into Oetavia's milk in the morning; and what Amanda knows is that three teaspoonfuls make a tablespoonful, that two tablespoonfuls mean a wineglassful, and that a wineglass is a gill, and that four gills make a pint for, over the banis- ter, "Dear John, do six gills make a pint, or do four gills make a pint?") and that two pints make a quart, and that a pint is a pound all the world tonna, and that four quarts make a gallon, (or, "John, the there four quarts in a gallonOr eight quarts in a gallon?") and that tied gal.

FURNISHING THE KITCHEN. Funny Game in Which Many May Take Part. Twelve or fifteen boys and girls may have a very jolly time in playing this little game. First, a leader is appointed, one who is a ready, quick-witted talk- er. Under his direction the players take seats all in a row, facing one wayy, and he stands in front of them. He begins the game by telling them that he is about to furnish a kitchen, and that he wants each of them to con- tribute an article suitable fur use there. Then the players, beginning with the head of the row, name the article that they will furnish, but no two players' must name the same article. All having told what they are willing to contribute, the leader asks them, in turn, all kinds oquestions. £ For in- stance, of the player who promises to contribute a stewpan he ashes: "With what did you brush your hair this morn- ing?'S 4Anlstvier: "Stewpan." r Wh:lt did you eat for breakfast?" Answer: "Stewpan." "With whom did you take a walk?" Answer: "Stewpan." The player must give the same an- swer every time, saying not another word; if he fails to do so he has to pay a forfeit. He also has to pay a forfeit if he laughs while answering. All the players may laugh as much as they please except the one who is answering; he must remain as solemn as a judge. This makes the fun of the game. Automobile Notes. Lansing, Mich., has the largest auto- mobile factory in the world, covering 52 acres. Up-to-date railroads now furnish freight cars with end -door entrances for shipping automobiles. The Automobile Club of China, organ- ized at Shanghai last May, has a mem- bership of 22.

It is rumored that Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt is after the "two -miles -a -min- ute cup" at Ormond Beach, next month, and that he is having built a 250 horse power car to do the trick. To secure reasonable prices themselves, and to protect their customers from ex- tortion, prominent American automobile manufacturers have started a big co- operative tire factory of their own in, New York City. It is estimated that there are up- wards of 100,000 American -built cars in this country to -day. One hundred of the more prominent home makers turned out during the past twelvemonth 26,601 ma- chines, valued at $34,650,500. After a year's experience the Public Library of Chicago has figured out that the three automobile delivery wagons which have been in service constantly during thatperiod a done the work at on -third rdhve the cost of horse-drawn vehicles. The total average cost of oper- ation per mile was .015 cent. consumption Q There is no specific for consumption. Fresh air, ex- ercise, nourishing food and Scott's Emulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Mil- lions of people throughout the world are living and in good health on one lung. 41 From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not take it in its old forth, hence it did very little good. They can take SCOTT'S EMULSION and tolerate it for a long time. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of, Scott's Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where its use must be continuous. 41 We will send sample free. tg be sure that this Saute in the term et s it es the wrap• peril every bottle of lmulston you buy.

Bulletin front the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Can.: The rise and fall of prices, the ebb and flow of the tide of trade is a recognized fact of commercial life. With a finger on the pulse of the market, the ability to relate one's business to the demands of . the present and the courage of patienno and resourcefulness to prepare for the demands of the future is a talent that should assure success ire the life of any man, be he farmer, tradesman or manu- facturer. A stockman who takes all. vantage 01 a dull year to strengthen or improve his breeding flock and. refuses to breathe the atmosphere of discour- n me n and t » � impatience under 'vile] his neighbors are going down to failure, is wise im his day and generation. The sheep owner and breeder who, not de- spairing of the revival of the sheep in- dustry, Otis during the past few years, by judicious selection and breeding, maintained or increased the qualaty of his flock, is now reaping the reward of his hopefulness and is in a position to taketime. the largest advantage of the brisk demand and high prices of the (present 'Record marketings at record prices" is the reporter's summary of the situa- tion at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago, for 1905. In all during the year 4,734,748 sheep were marketed, which, in a grand total, is 234,000 more than in 1904. Tile top price for wethers was $6.25 per cwt. The demand for breeding ewes through- out the States has, during the past year, fully doubler], and there were by no means enough feeder sheep to supply the demand in the corn belt and on the range. One feature of the Chicago mar- ket was the presence of Canadian lambs, one lot selling in November last for $7.25 per cwt, The past year has also been a profitable one for the wool grower, present prices being abnormally high. With the impetus given to the sheep industry by the active demand for wool and mutton and because of the general prosperity t Yof the country, try, the opinion prevails among high authorities that the breeding and feeding of sheep will be a profitable business for the next two or three year at Ieast. For breeding pur- poses, sheep selected from Canadian flocks are particularly popular in the United States, and Canadian farmers ought to be in a position to reap a rich harvest through trade with their cousins across the line. The pres- ence ef sheep on the faun, moreover, as- sists the farmer wonderfully in keeping his farm free from weeds and in main- taining the fertility of the land. Fin- ally, the prospect of profit in the sheep trade is abetter now than it bee been for years, and the outlook is promising to those who have• retained their faith in the sheep as the Farmer's Friend. WORRIED MOTHERS. Much of the worry which every mother of young children undergoes, would be spared if the mother kept Baby's Own Tablets on hand, and gave an occasional dose when the child was fretful, cross or peevish. Nearly all the ailments of childhood can be traced to the stomach, bowels or teething. For these troubles no medicine can eciuel Baby's Own Tab- lets, and the mother has the guarantee of a government analyst that this medi- cine isabsolutely safe. Mr. Kenneth McInnis, Lakefield, Ont., says: "Baby's Own Tablets are a perfect medicine in every way. There will be no sickly child- ren in the homes where they are used."

Novelty Designed by Most Prolific of Electrical Inventors, Elihu Thomson, the most prolific of electrical investors, is to the fore once more, this time with an improved form of Nernst lamp, which lie has desig- nated as a "pyro-electrolytic" lamp. The construction is such that when the cur- rent is switched on an are is formed between two carbons, one of which is lifted by menus of an enveloping sole- noil. By means of an electro -magnet operated by this current a strong mag- netic field is developed, which deflects the arc, causing it to impigne against the block of material, which furnishes the illumination by its incandescence. This material is such that at ordinary temperatures it does not conduct elec- trieitiy sufficiently well to bring it to in- candescence, but when heated, as it is by the electric arc, it becomes a. good conductor and raises itself to incandes- cent temperature. When this occurs the preliminary heating aro is automatically extin- guished. The lamp will continue to run without, interruption unless the cur- rent supply is shut off and the resigni- tion takes places in the same manner. THE OTIHER BRIDES.

You tench then wonderful things they never even guessed before—and make them un- derstand their fellowmen. And yet you say you are not clever; that you are old and stupid! Fie, sirl Do you expect me to believe that?" "Little flatterer," said Cowles, aston- ished at her eloquence, and pleased, de- spite Mansell, "Dont overwhelm me with your 'coals .of fire' Don't encour- age my bad. mailers by making virtues of them. I've been a most boorish guest. I've taken up an evening which some younger man might :have made vastly more entertaainiug for you, with my vapor[ngs and reveries. In exchange for this you ply me with delicious com- pliments—all the sweeter because un- merited. It's a woman's art, 1 guess. But it isn't fair." The girl gazed up into bis face with tremuioue eyes --a. wealth of a.dmiratton which her youthful ,enthusiasm could not conceal. "If you knew ]tow much Tither I'would hear you talk ,than 'sone things,' she re- sponded with a slight flush and a little gesture of protest which made Cowles very uneom,fortablo.

The girl sat motionless, rigid, during the recital. Some time in the narrative her eyes fixed themselves on a little scar just above Cowie' temple that looked as though a bullet might have made it. Novi she shivered a. Iittle, as though a cer- tain stimulus had been removed, and she straightened herself in the chair. "Your story is very dramatic," she re- marked coldly, "and, as you say, rather complex. Such things, I imagine, Tartly happen in real life, But that maks it 311 the more original. Thank you no much for telling me about it," Cowles was searching her face with s keenness that she must have felt, but alt. gave no sign. "Dear me," he said at length, glancing at the clock "it is quite late." She did not answer. He arose to go. At the door she gave him her hand. It was hot and "Good night, Mr. Cowles," she said; "1 shall see you at the Arlington reception no doubt. "Probably not," he answered. "I have some idea of leaving town for a time." "Really," exclaimed the girl in polity surprise. "We shall miss you." "That's kind of you," said Cowles, de- porting. "Good night." A Iight rain was still falling. The al- most deserted street glistened with a film of moisture under the are lamp which cast n groat black shadow up We the sky and made the foliage of shade trees scintillate and sparkle as the wind stirred it. At the corner a cabman sat asleep on his box, while a tiny stream trickled from his oil -cloth helmet Bowe the front of his tightly buttoned coat. Cowles hailed him and he awoke with a start, splashing and shaking like a New- foundland dog after a bath, "I wonder," Cowles soliloquized, as he pulled the cab door shut with a snap and settled back on the cushions, "I winder if I made an ass of myself."—Brooklye Citizen. .= TO INDUCE RESTFUL SLEEP. In the ability to obtain restful sleep there is anueh variableness in the same person at different times and under dif- ferent influences. Profound sloth is generally more refreshing than light slumber, but the fact that one can be roused without difficulty does not al- ways signify that his rest is deficient. Quiet slumber is always snore restful than sleep that is broken• by dreams, eve though n ig the dreams be so light as not to be impressed upon the memory. The character of sleep is affected by many influences, both mental and physi- cal. The person who, upon retiring fax the night, fails to put away the eares of the day that is past, or borrows the thoughts of the morrow, is slow to reach the depths of sleep and wakes but little refreshed. An overfilled stomach prevents sound sleep, but hunger should lee relieved be. fore retiring, and for this purpose there is nothing better than a glass of warm milk. The bed should be smooth, but neither too hard nor too soft; the position al the body preferably lying an the right side, with the head not too high, and the disposition of the limbs such as not to impede the circulation of the blood, It is generally better not to interfere withh t e fantastic attitudes ti t lodes of little chit them until they have .sept a while; bus the head must never be ,permitted to ro main covered. For a wakeful child a warm bath at bedtime is better than drugs, and usu• ally more effective; anti it is a cafe tete for older versions to refrain from taking medicines to induce sleep until affil they have tested the effieac of the warm batli.•—•Youth's Companion.
