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.

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 The Dr. Williams 1ledielne Co„ Brook- ville, Ont, 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. @ren,I,M, n,Xn WI,I nMmlxn,mrLpJ 4lnWWI1,1lum11t11 l,1110MII(n11111vm IIlnf,uutnw11111MXIru,IH -MMX1.

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.

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?
