In the course of a paper dealing with
the new Dover harbor it was reported
, that since these works had been in pro-

the sensibilities of the people who crane
their necks to watch him.
Wakefield is the man who did gym -

Building, which he was sent up to put a
fresh coat of paint on

He swung about gayly at this dizzy
height, "looped the loop" in his chairlibe
rigging, caught at supporting rode,
threatened to turn somersaults, warned
the shuddering crowd below to "get ready
to pick up the pieces when he fell" and
defied two excited policemen to "come up
and arrest him."
After he got tired of hie acrobatic per-
formance"he lowerecl himself to the
ground. Then his friends took him home.
The firm which has the contract for
painting. the smokestack decided that
Wakefield was entirely too hazardous; a
risk. They admitted that his perform-
ance was thrilling, but offset thatpoint
in his favor bysaying they were not
giving a three-ring circus, but were
painting smokestacks, and when they
went into the Barnum business and hired

A Weird English Abyss to be Explored

At the village of Horton -hi -Ribbles-

Alpine climbers are to descend and ex -
'there it famous abyss or hole in the
limestone rock known as Helen Pot, or
, "the Mouth of Hell,"
This hole is situated on the slopes of
Ingleborough, in the Pennine Chade, and

' Water rushes it at the top and. falls
in a long cascade -one of the ta rgest
waterfalls in this country. This water

to a considerable extent.
The party represent two clubs, the
Leeds Rambling Club and the leyndwr

WASTING ANAEMIA.
A Trouble That Afflicts Thousands of'
Young Girls -Cured. by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. •
Dr. Williems' Pink Pills do only
one thing, but they do it welL They
fill the veins with new, rich, red health,
giving blood, which drives away all
traces of anaernia, headalwo, backache,
palpitation, nervousifess, dizziness and
dehpondeney. The new blood they make
brightens dull Instreless eyes, and brings
the rosy glow of health to pale clieelcs.
In curing anaemia Dr. "Williams' Pink
Pills cure the foundation of consump-
tion as wellesThe new blood they actu-
ally make gives new strength and vigor
to every organ in the body, and. enables
it to fight whatever disease attacks it.
That is why they are the best medicine
in the world for girls in their teens -
or women in middle life -and to all those
whose blood is weak, watery or impure.
Miss Mazy E. Pratt, Blyth, Ont.,
gives strong testimony to the value of
these pills. She says: "I was a sufferer
for over a year with anaemia. I was
completely run down, had frequent
headaches, spells of dizziness end pal-
pitation of the beart. I doctored all sum-
mer and was no better than when
began. I had practically given up ell
hope of finding a cure, when my brother
advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. I got four boxes and when I had
taken them I felt so much better that
I got six more, and. before 1 bad taken
all these 1 was completely cured. I am
more thankful than I can say for what
the pills have done for mhe. sts but for
them I would not be enjoying good
health to -day. 1 strongly urge all weak
girls to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
a fair trial.
Miss Pratt's experience 'proves the
value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to

(New -Orleans himes-nesaocrate
A bachelor of forty grew tired of single life;

She Wati a type that's common, was very nice
and priln,
And filled with an ambition to have things
neat for him.
And so, after their marriage, he found his
things arranged;
From which it's very certain his mode ot life
Was changed.
Ilis clothes were eta in order, he found Ins
slippers, too,
With greatest ease at evening, *when the re-
past was through,
Upon his varied garments the buttons 00001
appeared,
And with a frequent dusting his divers hats I
were cheered.
Oh, if I were to tell you the whole, 'twould
take an age,
And make these simple verses jut o'er the

But did the man enjoy It? Ab, to, I grieve
to say,

far from gay,
The strange, unheare-ot ileatnOSs so wrought
upon his mind,
He died at six one evening and lett it all
behind
But ete he died he murmured to parties
standing near,
"I Want this short inscription, and want it

BEST WAY LO EAT EGGS.
Some Facts All Should Know About
This Article of Diet.
.Almost. everybody eats egg,s. Teens
is perhaps no article of diet that is more
commonly eaten in all countries than
eggs- Hens' versa are used more than
any other kind, although IMMO people
eat duck eggs, goose eggs, and the eggs
of the guinea fowl. Turkey eggs axe not
so often eaten; they are generally kept
for hatchings, Eggs are said to be per-
fece feed, the same as milk -that is,
containing all the food elemetrts neees-
sary for the growth and maintenance
of the young chick, just as milk does
for the young animal. While it is trig,
of course, that the egg does contain. all
the elements necessary for the young
thick, yet it would not follow that these
elements are in the right proportion for
the sole nourishment of an adult per-
son. That eggs are a splendid food is
not to be uchestioned, but that eggs alone
would, furnish sufficient diet for a grown,
person is hardly probable.
Eggs onsist of protein° and fat, water
and mineral matter. It is the proteine
or nitrogenous matter that builds up
lane repairs the tissues of the body,
-while the fat supplies energy. The white
of an esag.is often said to be pure albu-
men, brit at aso containe phosphorie acid
and sodium chloride or common salt.
The yolk contains the fatty part of the
egg, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium,
potassium and iron. Eggs also contain
sulphur,and • probably
the dark stain left by eggs on silver,
the sulphur coming in contact with the
silver, forming silver sulphide.
Eggs ere very easily digested. Raw
eggs are more quickly digested than
cooked eggs. Soft-boilea eggs, roaster'
eggs and poached. eggs are more eaeily
digested than fried or hard-boiled eggs.
The stem& will digest a raw egg hi
from one and a half to two hours. Soft-
boiled and roasted eggs require from
two and a, half to three hours, while
hanhbolled or fried eggs must be allow-
ed from three end. a half to four hours
for digestion. Eggs( furnish a good stub --
