Royal Perquisites.
The ring has sore very strange
Perquisites, many of which have most'
interesting histories attached to them.
Few know that he can claim the head
of a whale, so that "there may be no
lack of -whalebone wherewith to stiffen
the Royal garments;' although it is
mere commonly known that every
sturgeon caught in ,j3ritish waters be-
longs to him by right.
What a remarkable collection the
King's perquisites would )mite if they
were all duly claimed! Antal what pos-
sible use could his 41aesty make . of
some of them? A tablecloth of the
"value of three shillings; a coat of grey
fur; a horse and halter, and even a
silver needle, contributed by the Cella
tailor, might conceivably be welcome;
but he alight wittingly dispense with
"a nightcap of the value of one half-
penny, a pound of cuulin-seed, a cata-
pult --'-which might be a tetnptation to
some young Royal Prince --a curry
Iamb, a pair of scarlet Bose, a cross-
bow, a pair of torts, and a falcon.
And yet the King is by law and
ancient custom entitled to this strange
as ortntent of perquisites, and to
others of greater value and usefulness,
such as the costly'and beautiful Cash-
mere shawls which are so much trea-
sured as wedding -presents.
At the C'orouation of a Sovereign
perquisites come in showers, and come
of them are very quaint, From the
Lord of the Manor of Addington the
Sovereign can claim a dish of pottage
eoucocted of "chopped ehickens, ca-
pon -brawn, spices, sugar, and almond, -
milk"; While the Lord of the Manor,
of Hayden iuust 111ake a Isolenia pre-
sentation of a towel for hie Sovereign's
use.
In olden times the Chamberlain
claimed the furniture of the room In
which the Sovereign had slept on the
eve of the ('orouati'on, in addition to
forty yards of crimson velvet and a
sfh•er ewer and basin.

TO SAFEGUARD
YOUR DIGESTION
The Blood Should Constantly be
'Kept Rieh and Pure.
If you suffer from any form of tat
digestion. your diet should be care-. a
fully chosen. Over -eating is always
harmful, but at the came time one
)Bust take enough food to supply the
needs of the blood. It must be re-
membered that the blood has to carry
nourishment to every part of the body,
find fuel for energy and defence
against its enemies, es well as the re-
quisite juices for digestion. Hence,
when the blood becomes weak and
fails to clo its wotl:, indigestion arises;
also when indigestion begins the blood
still :further suffers. Therefore, to
safeguard yotir digestion the blood
should he kept rich and reel, and this
can best be done by taking a course
of Dr, Williams Pink Pills. These pills
are a blood -building, nerve -restoring
tonic and through their use yvur de
gective syet:',ni will respond naturally,
your aepetite will improve and your
foots will do you goof. The value of
Dr, Williams Pink Pills in cases of
stomach trouble is shown by the ex-
rerience of Mrs.. J. H. Alexander, Bar.
riefield, Ont., who says: "Some years
ago I was in a terribly broken down
condition. I had indigestion of a
severe nature, and sharp pains of
agony all through me. My stomach
was so weak that it was difficult to re-
tain food, . and often after eating 1
would have vomiting spells. I was un.
der medical treatment, but as I did
not improve my nerves were in a ter-
rible condition and I was always iu
much misery. One day I read of a
woman who had been relieved of shine
lar trouble through the use of Dr.
Williauts Pint: Pills, and I decided to
try thein. The result can be summed
up by saying that after using the pills
for some weeks 1 was entirely bet-
ter, could eat a hearty meal and
was again enjoying fife. If I feel run
down at any time I take Dr. Williams
Pink :fills and always get benefit
from them,"
You can get these pills through any
dealer la medicine, or by mail at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2,50 from

Incendiary
---
Incendiary Bullets.
The incendiary bullets used during
the war, mostly fired from machine
guns carried by airplanes, were in ef-
fect miniature high -explosive shells.
Those supplied to our armies were of
brass, hollowed out to hold a composi-
tion of which the principal ingredient
was barium.nitrate. To set this off,
each bullet had a primingcharge of.
magnesium and red lead.
An ordinary rifle bullet, of course,
is solid. The incendiary bullet IS ' of
wholly different construction, though
of the same calbre, being meant to
carry dame, Its discharge sets fire to
the explosive stuff contained in it.
Possible Plods
Suppose that a new planet, a fresh
addition -to the sun's family, were to
appear one of these fine nights in' the
sky. What a sensation it would make,
to 1)e sure! '
Astronomers do not regard such an
occurrence as impossible, though 6.s-
suredly most unlikely. The sun's erup-
tive forces are so tremendous that it
might conceivably throw out a flaming
mass of gas that would cool and con-
dense into a planet.
• Not long ago, at the Yerkes Obser-
vatory, an eruption was observed (and
photographed)) on the rim of the sun
which threw up material to a height
of 500,000 miles. One cloud of it,
" which appeared as if floating detach-
ed; was reckoners to have some thous-
ands of times the volume of the earth.
We are accustomed to regard great
volcanic explosions on the earth as
the most appalling of natural phenee
mena, ;blit they are .feeble'and trifling
disturbances compared with the out-
:_ -
bursts which are continually taking
place all over the body of the sun.
When an eclipse occurs, we can see
with the naked eye, through a piece of
smoked glass, gigantic flames darting
out from the edge of the solar disk.
Very likely the little planet ou which
we dwell Was originally part of the
sun and was thrown out from the lei -
ter as a mass of burning gas. The ro-
tation of the sen on its axis started
the mass whirling, helped perhaps b1*
the vortex motion of the eruption.
The same eruption . may have
thrown out the moon, a smaller mass
of gas, which fell under the control of
the 'embryo earth, becorniug its sates
lite.
Possibly the four, little planets-
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars—
were thrown ; out at about the same
time. Greater eruptions .may have
given birth to the four giant hot
planets—Jupiter, Saturn,` Uranus and
Neptune.

GUARD BABY'S HEALTH
lid
THE SUMMER
The summer months are the most
dangerous to children. The com-
plaints of that season, which are
cholera infantum, colic diarrhoea and
dysentry, come on so quickly that
often a little one is beyond aid be-
fore the mother realizes he is in. The
mother must be on her guard to pre-
vent these troubles, or if they do
come on suddenly to banish them. No
other medicine is of such aid to
mothers during hot weather as is
Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate
the stomach and bowels and are ab-
solutely safe. Sold by medicine

I saw hint dancing between the two,
When the spring was young and the
leaves were green.
Oh, gay was he, for his life was new,
Though the sombre two ethat he
danced between
-Were Pain and Sorrow, Sorrow
and Pain.
The brook was fuel and the wea birds
sang.
The child bur playea and his iaughter
rang,
For Pain and Sorrow had barbed no
pang
'When he started down life's lane.
I saw him again on a summer's day,
A man full-grown, stern-faced, and
strong,
And Pain acid Sorrow he held at bay,
Though they sulked beside as he
walked along--
Oh, Pain and Sorrow, Sorrow and
Pain,
The trees were full and the way uphill,
Spring's rushing stream was but a rill;
The wee birds dreamed, and their
song was still,
As he climbed the hilly lane.
I saw him next on an autumn eve,
Weary And sad by the ' moaning
trees;
And he cried and prayed' for a short
reprieve,
OI two who 'were forcing him to his
knees,
Hard Pain and Sorrow, Sorrow
and Pain.
Tee brook was dark, and the wind was
u'iil,
The windslSwept down, on the steeper
hill;
While Pain and Sorrow were working
their° will
To strike him deep and again.
I saw him last in the winter bare,
The church was nears and its graves
were dank.
He crept along to find refuge there.
Until at the foot of the Cross he
sank—
Scourged, and followed by Sorrow
anti Pain:
For Sorrow and Pain they had racked
each bone,
end he prayed for the peace that is
Heaven's own;
Till a light shone down from the Great
White Throne; ,
And there was no Sorrow ` nor
' Pain.

Open to Persuasion,
While touring in the Highlands, a
motorist was stopped by a local police-
man. While lie gave his name and
address readily enough, he stinted
broadly' that he might pay to be let
off.
"What, six!" cried the constable,
"Dae ye suggest that IA wud telt a
bribe? Dae ye dare to insult me, sir?"
"Oh, excuse me," said the motorist,
quite abashed, "1 really-----•-"
"But, now," put in the constable,
"supposiu' I eels that kin' o' men, how
much wud ye be inclined to a ;) me?"
A Word Omitted.
The curious effect sometimes pro-
duced in telegrams by want of punc-

A ;London lawyer had a woman re-

"expectations," She had been ening

carne a telegram asking the iewyer's
wife to go at once as she --.his aunt --
as niselt,worse. Ilia wife according,
ly went.
During the evening of the following
day the husband reeeved this an-
nouncement:
"Aunt Matilda went to Leaven at
3.30; returning by 11.50 to -morrow
morning."

"Well, you can't have one! What
do you want of a brick, anyway?"
',Why, a lady who lives near us
wants a bath brick, and she gave me
sixpence and told me to get her ane."
"Weil, why don't you go to the shop
and get one? That is not a bath brick
you stave there'"
"'Look here!" said the boy, as he
came closer, and spoke in tones of con-
fidence, ""1 want to earn that sixpence.
"I'm going to take this brick home, and
tut it in the bath -tub and make a bath
brick of it, and to -morrow I will take
it to the lady,"
