Are Supplied. With 13o oltS. For some time Mr, John Millar, Deputy Minister of Education of. On- tario, has been studying .the ques- tion of libraries. Quite recently he visited several Western States to in-, vestigate the management of travel-. ling and school libraries. In Ontario some travelling libraries Were in- stituted last year, but Mr. Millar rejoices over the fact that we have not duplicated the work of travelling and public libraries. On the other side, however, far greater enterprise is shown by the municipalities than in Ontario.. In Ontario, says Mr. Milthr, people are unfortunately too much intalined to look to the Gov- ernment for aid and direction, Too often in this rrovince the local boards expect the provincial grant to meet nearly all the requirements for the purchase of books. The amount raised by the local bodies is often a mere trifle. SHOULD BE FREE. Said Mr. Millar :—"I think no aid should be given by the Gelvernment towards a public library illness it is made free to all ratepayers of the municipality. Libraries sustained by fees might answer during the pioneer days of the country, bt with the principle of free education so ; well established, the fee system should be abandoned. There is altogether too much expended for fiction by most •of our public library boards. It is questionable whether public feeds should be expended for ephemeral novels. There is much force in Mr. Carnegie's statement that a novel should notbe purchased until three years after it has been issued. A proportion of standard liction is doubtless desirable. It would popu- larize public libraries if boards were to cater largely to the needs of the pupils of the scbools. The children rather than adults sho ild • have priority. School libraries base been languishing in intario for thirty or forty years. "While it is desirable to have library buildings with thousands of volumes of good literature suitable for adults, it would be more a.dvis- able to have books for children pur- chased, and with proper machinery to send them to the various homes. In other words, the plan should be adopted as far as possible of sending books around to do good. It is generally admitted that if children form. a taste for good literature they are reasonably safe even should they never go to college or high school. In Ontario the bigh schools are doubtless fairly .well provided now with libraries and books for supplementary reading. As regards the public schools, however, and es- pecially those in rural districts, there is a lamentable lack of suitable reading matter. st is scarcely too strong a statement to make that in som.e country districts children are intellectually starved on. account of the absence of rea.dina matter." BOOM EXPECTED. Mr. Miller anticipates a boom in school libraries within the next two or three years. New York, Michi- gan and Wisconsin issue careflally prepared catalogues of books from which trustees may sleet books suit- able for the schools. A similar po- licy will probably be adorted in On- tario. "While some standard works in fiction may be included, the books should,mainly consist of works of biography, history, geography, tra- vel, elementary science, etc. If a small grant is made by the Govern- ment proportioned to the amount expended locally, nearly every school section may be expected to have a fair library in a. few years. Thirty or forty dollars will buy all the books required for a beginning, and with $5 worth added every year it would ie.. a short time give all the books the children would have time to nead," THE MAKING OF MARBLES. Nearly all the agate marbles that wear a holes in the pockets of all schoolboys on earth are made in the State of Thuringia, Germany. On winter clays the poor people who live in the villages gather small square stones, place them in moulds something like big coffee mills, and grind them. until they are round. The marbles made in this way are the common china, painted china, glaz- ed china, and imitation agates. Im- itation agates are made from tvhito stone, and are painted to represent the pride of the marble player's heart—the real agate. The agate painted china marbles are of plain white stone, with lines crossing each other at right angles painted upon them. Glass alleys are blown by glass blowers in the town of Lau- scha, Germany. The expert work- men take a piece of plain glass, and another bit of red glass, heat them red hot, blow them together, give them a twist, and there is a pretty alley with the red and white threads of glass twisted inside into the form of the letter S. Large twisted glass alleys and plain glass alleys pith the figure of a dog or sheep inside are made for very small boys and ghee to play with. But the marbles most prized to -day are the real agates. These marbles are seal brown or black in color, and many of them have large round circles on them that look like eyes. JAPANESE lifILLS.

She Slaffered From Headaches 'Dizziness and Niglat Sweats— Iler Friends. Feared She Was Going Into Consump- tion. From L'Avenir, St. Jerome Que. Among the thousands tof young girls- who bless Dr. Willituns Pink Pills for safely carrying them through that most perilous period of their lives when they step from girl- hood into the broader realm of wo- manhood, there is 'none more en- thusiastic than Miss Gabrielle Tkomas, a young lady known to most of the residents of St. Jerome, Que., and greatly esteemed by all her acquaintances. To a reporter of L'Avenir du Noro, Miss Thomas said : "From the time I was fourteen until I was eighteen years of age my health was very bad. 1 was very. weak ; had no appetite and could. do no work. At night I perspired greatly and frequently slept but little. I suffered from headachea, dizziness and Could scarcely move about without becoming bx.eathless, and 1 finally reached a stage when my friends feared I was going into consumption. I was under the care of doctors, but their treatment did not help me. I then • tried several advertised medicines, but with the same poor results and I had come to think I could not get better. One day I read in a newspaper the statement of a young girl whose symptoms were almost identical with my own, who was cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I then decided to try this medicine and have reason to bless the day I did so. I had only used the pills a few weeks when I began to get better, and in a couple of months every symptom of my trouble had disap- peared and I was as strong and healthy as any girl of ray age. I have since always enjoyed the best of health, and I shall be glad indeed if my experience proves helpful to some other suffering girl." The hapriness of health for • both men and women ties in the timely use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which act as a nerve tonic and sup- ply new blood ta enfeebled systems. They have cured ractny thousands of cases of anaemia"decline,," con- sumption, pains in the back, neur- algia, depressdon of spirits, heart palpitation, indigestion, rheuanatisra, sciatica, St. Vitus' dance and r ar- tial paralysis.

PROPOSED NEW ARM For Soldiers and Sailors of the Imperial Force. The new rifle to be experimented with in the British array is a com- bination of the Lee -Enfield and the Mauser. The breech action is of the Mauser pattern, and is adapted by the aid of thumb screws to rapid adjustment in the field without the aid of tools. The sighting is most complete and up to the standard in most respects of match rifles. The barrel isshrtened by five inches, and to maintain the balance an equal weight has been removed from the stock, the wood having been drilled with holes; and the brass or steel plates replaced by aluminum. The new weapon will be loaded by means .of clips, each containing five cartridges. For the new gun the muzzle velo- cities will, it is said, be maintain- ed at 2,300 foot -seconds. - It was at first proposed to employ 2,500 foot - seconds,. but the resulting pressures in the gun barrel were deemed in- advisable. At 2,300 foot -seconds at the muzzle the corresponding pres- sure does not exceed 45,000 pounds to the square inch. In appearance the new weapon is very handsome, and is a marked im- provement in this respect over the Krag. The bayonet and ramrod have been united in an ingenious fashion, thus doing away with the necessity for a bayonet scabbard. In this . particular our authorities seem to have taken up the Russian idea, since for many years the prac- tice in the Russian arnay has been to always keep the bayonet fixed. BABY'S OWN TABLETS. A Positive Cure for Hot Wheather Ailments. In the hot weather the little ones suffer from bowel troubles, are ner- vous, weak, sleepless and irritable. Their vitality is lower now than at any other season, Prompt action at this time often saves a valua.ble lit - tie life. Baby's Own Tablets is the best medicine in the world for little ones at this time. They speedily re- lieve, promptly cure, and give sound, refreshing sleep. The Tablets should be in every home wbere there are little ones during the hot weather months,. Mrs. P. Ferguson, 105 Mansfield Street, Montreal, says :— "I have found Baby's Own Tablets the best medicine E have ever used for children. My baby was attacked with dysentery and was hot and feverish. I gave hirla the tablets and they promptly cured him. Before this he had been rather delicate but since using the Tablets, he has been much better in every way. I can sincerely reconimend the Tableta to all mothers with ailing children." Baby's Own Tablets are guaranteed to be absolutely free from opiates and harmful drugs. Children take them readily, and crushed to a pow- der they ca,n be given to the young- est infant with perfect Safety.

Hornible Orgies of the African Chief Disappear—Result of Christianity. , Some time ago an African poten- tate; named Lewanika, paid- a visit to ICing Edward, with whom he smoked: a few choice cigars. Inter- esting details regarding the chief- tain are contained in it letter from Captain Alfred Bertrand, of .the Swiss Federal army, it avell-known explorer and traveler, who tells of the remarkable changes which ha.-Ve recently taken plane in Baxotseland, whence the said potentate comes. He says: • , "There can be no doubt that Lew- anika is the most picturesque per- sonage invited to Xing Edward's coronation, and his presence has at- tracted the attention of the English people to that little-known portion of their undeveloped estates. "The pioneers of the Upper Zam bent have. been. the French Protest- ant naissionartes—namely, the Rev. F. Coillard, the brothers Jalla and their colleagues, including ,several of my own countrymen from Switzer- land. "Barotseland in 1895 was almost entirely .unknown and unexplored. Three. travelers only had passed through it, and from their accounts we expected to take our lives in our hands. Their experiences at the hands of the Baxotsi led them to paint their -treachery, rapacity, cruelty and degradation in the darkest colors. All the greater was my astonishment when I saw with my own eyes the transformation both in the moral and material do- main. which had been effected by the mission. FOUND SCHOOLS. "To my astonishment, on reach- ing the Zaan.besi, I found at each of the stations churches, schools, houses, and' stores, erected in situa- tions where everything had to be made from the raw material. "I found perfect silence and 'dis- cipline, reigning in the schools an.d at the services. At church I was struck with the serious and intelli- gent demeanor of a middle-aged man, who, I learned to my surprise, was no other than Lewanika., and whom we had expected to fin.d a blaod-thirsty tyrant. Further ac- quaintance with him showeci that the •transformation was not merely an outward one. At his court we found order, cleanliness, courtesy and hospitality. "Lewaaika, himself, who was ador- ed as a sort of divinity, ruled by terror alone, shedaing blood like water. He had at his orders a code of tortures each more terrible than, the last. I will only describe one, the Seruyi, or. warrior ants. A wretched victim (sometimes a chief) wouldhe bound, smeared with honey, and placed in the track of an advancing column, of these crea- tures. He might live for days, be- ing literally devoured alive by mil- lions of mandibles. BURNING ALIVE. "Burning alive was a comnon, of- ten daily occurrence, and the ordeal by boiling water the only semblance of trial. 1.1 they happened to be chiefs, the accused parties only. Sub- mitted to it by proxy of their wives or slaves. • "Now the ordeal is abolished, and a rough but regular judicial - pro- cedure has taken its place. Punish- ments are undoubtedly severe, but the stake and the torture are not among them. The Mission station of Lealuyi now occupies the witch burner's hillock, the ancient place of execution. "Every month Lewanika an.d his chiefs used to celebrate the new moon by orgies of strong native beer drinking. 'When I visited Lealuyi he had already forbidden the making and consumption of intoxi- cants throughout the country, and has set the example by himself becoming an abstainer. To-'claar I ant assured he has not tasted alco- hol for seven years,. REAL CHRISTIANITY. "Although Lewanika, still clings to polygamy and seine other pagan practices, he encourages others, even his own children, to become Chris- tians. "But the Barotsi mission has pro- duced real, and not merely outward professors of Christianity. Among these X naay mention his son and heir Latta, his niece Akanangiosa, great chieftaineSs in her own right, and Mokamba, his son-in-law, and Prime Minister, who is now in Eng- land with him. Litia, was the first to set the example of having but one wife, Whom he treatS with the respect 'due to a woman in a Chris- tian country. "Much remains to be done; there isi still a very 'dark side to Barotse life, nor are the individuals here Mentioned, fuli blown saints; far front it. But when we think of what they have eraerged from, we realiee that there have been trans." forMations indeed." LADIES, TAKE WARNING.

Only Two Notable Ones -- ThOSO. Of Duke of Bedford and Son of the Mad King. The report that the Prince elf Wales will be made regent in the eventof n, long convaleseenee of .King Edward surpriseno one. No Monarch of England has ever yet lain dangerously ill. without ;some suggestion of a 'temporary transfer of power. When Queen Victoria, was dying at Osborae House a regency with the present King as regent was quite freely dismissed. ip the pre- sent instance, however, a regency, while possible, is not to -day con- sidered as among the immediate probabilities. To the average student of English history, but two regencies stand out prominently in the records—that of the Dulce .of Bedford, which shook the foundations of the Heuer. of Lancaster during the long minority of Henry VI., and that of George, Prince of Wales, during the madness of his father; and yet provisions for a. regency have been made no less than. fifteee times since the iron heel of Norman conquest stamped Mom England the seal of a :genuine na- tional life. The Earl of Pembroke, by and with the consent of the barons, became regent when Henry 111. ascended the throne; the eighth Henry appointed his executors re- gents until the heir to his crown should attain legal age, and the exe- cutors, upon the accession of Ed- ward VI., delegated their rights and privileges and authority to the man who, by such delegation, became Lord Protector of the Realm and a virtue) king; in 1751, the widow of Frederick, Prince of Wales, was named as regent should the crown pass from her father-in-law, George II., to her then minor son, after- ward George III. Parliament was asked upon three separate occasions to grant authority for the estab- lishment of a regency. POWER TO APPOINT. By the first of these acts the Xing was invested with power to appoint a regent, if it appeared to him that the succession was likely to devolve upon a minor or an incapable; again, in 1778, a second regency bill was introduced, owing to the insanity of the King, and although it wa.s dropped when George recov- ered, the debate upon its provisions furnished a notable and satisfying denial to the report that the Prince of Wales desired to assume regency powers without the consent of Par- ljaanent. A disclaimer of any such intention on the part of his brother was made in the House of Lords by Frederick, Duke of York. In 1810 a recurrence of the King's insanity hastened the passage of the third regency bill, wbich clearly defined the limita of the regent's authority. He was empowered to rule without it council of regency; he could make war and conclude peace, negotiate treaties, dissolve Parliament; but he was restricted in the matter of RD TO BE LIFTED. A HELPLESS CRIPPLE IS RE- STORED TO HEALTH AND STRENGTH. Lame Back Had This Man. a Priss oner f or a Long Time, but at Last He Found a Cure Though, Given Up by the Doctors. Napanee, Ont., July 14.—(Spe- cial)---The doctors told Simon War- ner that they could do nothing for hint. He had tried many medicines and treatments with no, good re- sult. He was a helpless cripple with lame back, and for a. long time his, wife had to lilt him in and out of bed, the pain in his back was so very severe. In this extremity a friend's ad- vice saved him. This man had suf- fered with backache himself, but had been completely cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills, thus when he heard that Mr. Warner was so bad he went to his home and reconaraended this medicine to him. Mr. Wexner and his good wife were at first inclined to he somewhat doubtful, but here was the evidence that Dodd's Kidney Pills do cure Lame Back right before their very eyes in the person of the man who had been cured. Surely it must be true. So after some deliberation they decided to try, and now they are very much pleased that they did so, for in a short time Mr. War- ner's backache had vanished. He grew gra.dually stronger and better and at present enjoys the best all- round good health he has had for many years. There is not a trace of larne back remaining, not a single symptom, and the helpless man who used to be a bueden ta himself and his wife is now arong and a comfort to his faithful helpmate. He says: "Wo have used in all abotit tvsen- ty-five boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and given some away to otir neigh- bors. I find that when they use a box they themselves are about as strong in their recommendations as we are. "I can certainly highly recommend Dobkl's ICidnesr Pills as a mire euro for Lame Back, for they cured me, and I never heard of a worse case."

ONE REGENCY • ACT. scarcely The reign of George IV. included the passage of but one regency act, which merely stated, in accordance With a well-known constitutional principle, that the regent, like the sovereign whom he represents, can. - not be a, member of the Catholic faith. After the accession of Wil- liam IV. an act was passed to en- able the Due/less of Kent to exercise the functions of regent in the event of her daughter, the Princess Vic- toria, being called to the throne during her minority, and in the reign of Victoria two more. and the last regency statutes were proposed by the ministry of the day and ac- cepted by Parliament. In the first year of the late Queen's reign a re- gency council without a regent was named to act if the heir to the throne were absent from the king- dom the time of the Queen's death; by the second act PrinceAlbert was accorded the full powers of sover- eignty during the possible minority of his wife's successor.
