In the course of a paper dealing with the new Dover harbor it was reported , that since these works had been in pro- gress no wave of greater heigbt than fifteen feet had been recorded -a fact that will be surprising to those who have experienced the miseries of the Dover -Calais passage, The fact is the more remarkable because at the entrauce Wakefield, but he has more regard for the sensibilities of the people who crane their necks to watch him. Wakefield is the man who did gym - artistic "stunts" at the top of the 200 - foot smokestack of the Wester» Union Building, which he was sent up to put a fresh coat of paint on 1 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 big tent Wakefieldhvould be the first they would look for.

The party represent two clubs, the Leeds Rambling Club and the leyndwr Club of Derbyshire, the vice president ca the thriller organization (Mr. Prod lent- terill, of Leeds) being in charge of the expedition.

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 every weak and ailing person. These pills can be had from any medicine dealer, or by mail from Dr. Williares' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, at 50c a box or six boxes for $2.50, - .A Sorrowful Story.

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.
