A Princeton znan who is fond .. horses and dogs, says .a Writer, ow a finely bred hunting dog, which h missed for several days. He made'! ,dairies,. but no one had seen anythin of the animal, and after a week tl owner gave him up as lost, Stray or stolen. One of the farm hands w[ rambling through a choppeceoff wo lot a': few days, later and cattle upo the' dog caught in a steel trap th some one had set to catch a skunk o some other game. 'Bath forepaw were hales in the jaws of the trap, ail, the dog'oould not escape.. But, in spite of his terrible prodie , meet, 11e was not emaciated; and a though in pain, he had not gnawed h 'forelegs, • as Mali g , y animals will d when they are in the torture of a•"ste trap. Strangest of all, scattered a round the trapped dog wore bone scraps of meat and various othe things that dogs like. Several ha "bones and 1ieef bones, with shreds o meat' clinging, were right under th captive's nose, and he was chewing bone when the man discovered hi plight. The 'trapped dog was carried hom in the arms of the man. who found slim and a little later the owner went to th trap to see who or what had Brough those belles and scraps of food to th suffering captive. While he stoo silently regarding the llittle heap o bones and scraps, another dog fro his own 'kennels came through th brush, her jaws filled with chicke bones, meat trimmings and othe gleanings from the kitchen garbag pail. The clog dropped her load elos to the trap and sniffed round as if sh were worried. She whined and whim pered when she decided that he friend had gone. The owner calle her, and sae came slinking and tremb ling to hint, as'ef she expected to b punished. The' owner patted and fondled her. then he went with her to the tree) an let her smell round' it to her heart' content, and all the while lie kept call ing her "Good old doggy! Good dog!' until she seemed to understand that; her master was praising her;' then her joy was unmistakable. • Calling her after. him, he went back to the stable, where the injured dog was licking his wounds. When the other dog saw the rescued animal, she W,Oshowed every indication of joy. She barked, capered round, wagged her tail almost off, and then lent her own moist tongue to the healing process on her friend's sorely bruised paws. The two doge seemed to understand each other, and the way those two ..:friends e1 --pressed friendship was a revelation t6` the humans who looked t oh.

He used to come, vacation times, Hosie on the midnight train, • Whistling as clear as any bird, In spite of snow or rain; We seldom !heard that music shrill Ring like a silver horn— We were so sure, the night before, He would not come till morn! But in our dreams there seemed to be An echo of great joy; Our sleep was filled with visions bright, And all about "the boy!" The doorbell peals! the household wakes. Slippers and robes are donned, And yawns and laughter: break- the hush, And exclamations fond.

""'I wish we Hadn't gone to bed!" "Dear boy!" "You scampi'' "What fun!" A whining breaks upon the ear, With scratchings mingled in it; "The dog!" "He's wild!" "He heard your voice!" "Oh let him in a minute!" The door flies wide; he clears the stairs "In one long, rapturous leap; ,And in that happy household now ,e*Is no more thought of sleep! So long ago! so far away! Such endless miles from home! The transports dock, with cheering crowds, - And yet he does not come!

So many things to love in that small house of ours, The sunlight swept across the break- fast board, The brass bowls blooming with their nodding sheaves of flowers, The genial fireplace where stout logs have roared; There is a little window looking to the east Where stars peeped in on us through twilight haze; The mottled plates we kept' against theseldom feast Shining from their shelves in bright arrays;, The wide, soft rugs—fair-colored as. some enfabled .mead, With stiff Levantine blossoms, weaver -sown; The stately stairs, the pipestand and rows of books to read; The sweater on the settle lightly thrown. - So much I love * * * their peace, content and happiness, And friendliness to make such cor- ner bloom, And, more than all, the, clock, so solemn of address, That murmurs to itself down the still room. -•--— -• There is no better.

How Best to Overcome the Trou- hies That Aflict•Woren Only. Tile most fateful years in a woman's life ai'e those between forty-five and fifty. Many women antes` this terns under depressing condition s through overwork, ,worry or a neglected con- dition of the brood, and so they Suffer heavily, Still, variations of health at this time oan be 'relieved by home treatment. Among the commonest symptoms are headaches and pains in the back and sides, fever -flushes, palpitation, dizziness unci depression. Women stand in need of rich, red blood all their life, but never more so than in middle age, when'the nerves are also weak and over -wrought, Now every woman can prove the prompt help af- forded to her health by renewing her blood supply. It is a test that any ail- ing woman can make by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, for these pills make rich, red blood, which in turn helps the appetite, strengthens the nerves and restores .robust health. Thousands of women have found in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills e the means by which. new health and a brighter out .look of life wore gained. In proof of this is the voluntary testimony of Mrs. H. S. Peterson, Milford, Ont., who says:—"I have suffered greatly from those troubles that afflict my sex, and I have found that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in such.eases.not only do all that is claimed for them, but more. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done so much for me that I urge every weak woman to try them, and they will soon realize ;the great difference in one's health they make."

You can get them from any dealer in medicine or by mail post paid at 50 cents a box or six boxes for. $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi - eine Co., Brockville, Ont. MILITARY SEARCHLIGHTS. . Recent Developments in This Usefu War Equipment. The military searchlight has proved of enormous usefulness during the war for a great variety of purposes and, as a result, it has undergone very important development. There has appeared, as one product of its evolution, a portable electric searchlight, weighing only 143 pounds, which can easily be carried by a couple of men or by a mule. Pro- vided with a powerful archiight, it throws, with the help of a bowl -shaped mirror of glass, a beam of brilliant in- tensity. There is a tendency, however, to get rid of glass mirrors for war search- lights. They have two important dis- advantages. One is that a ciTh L e bul- let will put them out of cor ii,1ission; the other, that properly macre glass reflectors cannot be quickiy,•,or easily obtained. Nothing short qf a first- class mirror -leaking plant is capable of turning them out. Accordingly, the army is how using reflectors which are simply shallow bowls of thin sheet iron plated on the inside with silver. They are not equal to mirrors. but they can be turned out quickly in indefinite numbers any- where that silver plating is done. A rile bullet will not break them, and they have the additional advantage of cheapness. Glass reflectors are very expensive. The French during the war have been making trial of searchlight re- flectors plated with gold, which, .it is claimed, have greater brilliancy. They are most costly, of course, but do not require daily polishing. Rembrandt, the great painter, knew the Bible by heart from end to end. An inch of. rain descending on an acre of land would fill more than 600 barrels of forty-five gallons each. German war losses up to 30th April last were 2,050,460 dead, 4,- 207,028 wounded and 615,922 missing, a total of 6,873,410, acdeeding to figures published in Berlin.

They show esigns of distress- long be- fore human beings notice the poison- ing of the air they breathe, But the mouse (in a cage) may at any time be inactive and sluggish, so that -the indications it gives are not to be relied upon. Oil the other hand,. the canary is perpetually alert and hopping about, `If it droops or be- comes quiet it is time to get out of the mine or put on• the gas mash. Many experiments have been made to determine the exact degree of the canary's sensitiveness to poisonous gases, relatively to that of human be- ings. In one of them 0 man was put into a glass inclosed box and a quantl- 'ty of deadly carbon monoxide was in- troduced. The Man held in his hand a cage containing a canary. Presently the• bird collapsed. But the man stayed in the box eight 'minutes longer before he found him- self unable to !stand up. He was then promptly dragged out, Beyond a severe headache for some hours, how- ever, he suffered no ill effects. This proven definitely that a pian can endure amore than fairly danger- ous gas poisoning eight minutes long- er, than a. .canary. Hence the conclu- sion—moot valuable for practical pur- poses—that workers in mines have eight minutes in which to escape from a gas-filled mine tunnel after their bird (they' commonly carry canaries with them nowadays) shows symp- toms of severe distress. The birds subjected to these experi- ments are quickly revived by putting them into a little glass cage box, the handle of which is a small steel tube containing Iiquid oxygen. The oxygen is allowed to flow into the box and soon the canary is well and lively. BABY'S OWN TABLETS GREAT _ .. .�AT HELP Mothers, if your baby or growing child is sickly if he does not sleep well at night; if he cries a great deal; is constipated and his little bowels and stomach are not working right, OM him Baby's Own Tablets—they have proved of great help to thousands of mothers. Concerning the Tablets Mrs. W. H. Decater, Corson's Siding-, Ont., says:—"I have used Baby's Own Tablets and have found them excel- lent for the little ones and would not be without them.'." The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative and are guaranteed to contain no harmful drug—that is why they always do good and never harm. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Politeness Pays. M, A bright-eyed little boy in a sailor suit saluted the occupants of a passing motorcar so quaintly that they stopped to give him sixpence. "You're a very polite little fellow," the lady motorist said. "Do you salute all the strangers who pass in the same way?" "No, no, ma'am, only motorists, the boy stammered, fingering,his sixpence nervously. "Father says I'm to be polite to. them, because motorcars bring hint trade." The lady seemed disappointed. "What is your father's trade, my little lean? Does he repair motor- cars?" "No, ma'am; he's an undertaker," was the little fellow's response. e Minard's Liniment Co., Limited.

Rossway, Digby Co., N. S. STAMPS REFLECT HISTORY. Controversy Over Fiume Shown in Postage Stamps. A striking example of the manner in which current events are reflected on the postage stamps of nations is provided by the Italo-Slovak deadlock at Fiume. When the Jugo-Slays first occupied the town, immediately after the de- claration of the armistice, they signal- ized the event by imposing the initials of the united Slav states—"S. H. 5,"— upon the Slav stamps, which, however, short-lived, proved s ho- , for; on the arriv- al ,of the Italilans they were suppres- sed in favor of a somewhat similar series, bearing the simple imprint "Fiume" in large black capitals. Whatever may be the ultimate fate of Fiume, these transitionary stamps will constitute 1iistorical evidence of the rival claims to its/ possession. There is ne more certain way of spoiling a good voice than by sine' ing loudly. CANADA IS PAR GOLF. "Canadian golfers• are. !lard to beats•: but C,azladian,bospitality cannot be beaten," declared Charles ("Chick"),, Evans, Jr., amateur and open cheerio pion gager of the United States, after he lead returned from the Hamilton and :Scarborough Golf Clubs. Cana- dian experts in these clubs had coni palled Him to play his best to win, and then both clubs had made hinta life member. "Canada, i. my opinion," he added, "is par gel,," About the third week in June Evans hopes to make his fifth trip to Canada to play for the benefit of the Canadian Red .Cross. Other noted golfers who May go along rare Francis. Ouimet, Jerome D. Travers and John G. Ander- son. The cities visited will be :Mont- real, Ottawa, St. Andrews-beethe-sea and Toronto. Canada has a string of well-planned golf .courses from the Atlantic to the Pacific, ranging from seaside links at St. Andrews -by -the -sea on the BEV of Fundy to the Banff Springs Golf Club, Alberta, where the golfer can play his game at an altitude of nearly a mile. Going farther west he can play the Vancouver • and Victoria golf clubs where the altitude is not far above the sea and where the golf sharp can play the royal and ancient game every month in the twelve, because the Japan current decrees that there shall be no "winter killed" greens. This year will be the greatest in the history of Canada and the United States so far as international golf is concerned. Ten of Canada's best golf- ers -will play against ten of the best from the United States at the Hamil- ton Golf and Country Club, Hamilton, Ontario, on. July 25th, and the Cana- dian Seniors, who won the Duke of Devonshire:s Cup in a match against the 'United States Seniors, will defend the cup- in.a return match at Apawa- mis Golf Club, Rye, N.Y. Champion Evans has a very high opinion of Canadians. golf courses, and of the Hamilton Golf and Country Club in particular. "This Club," he states,•"is one of the very best links in North America. It `swings well,' and is a thorough test of golf." The St. Andrews -Algonquin Golf Club at St. Andrews -by -the -Sea is an 1S -hole links, 6,000 yards in length, and there is also a 9 -hole links near by. The long course resembles some of the best seaside links of Scotland. Toronto, Montreal, Quebec, Winnipeg, Calgary, Victoria and Vancouver are all great golfing centers. At the Banff Springs Golf Club on "The Roof of the World," . the golf is excellent and the scenic surroundings unsur- passed in beauty. TORONTO FAT STOCK SHOW. At the annual meeting of the Toron- to Fat Stock Show, held recently, it was decided to again have classes for female cattle, also that instead of re- quiring ninetydays' ownership of car- loads of cattle that it would be suf- ficient if owned by exhibitor at time of entry. This will be welcome news to some exhibitors who were unable to compete in some of the classes last year. The Forth Bridge. An American naval officer, on ar- rival in Scottish waters, was signalled to anchor at the Forth Bridge. After cruising about for hours the officer signalled back this message:—"Have searched this brook from mouth to source.

"You were not. But if you paid him, I won't." They're engaged now. Dry Cleaned. A. little four-year-old who is most emphatically opposed to having her face washed, "said to her grandmother the other day: "1 am not going to wash my face any more." When asked for an explanation, she. said, "I've decided to have it dry cleaned." Instructing Grandpa. "I was talking to my little grand- daughter over the telephone the other day," said an old man recently to a few of his friends at a hotel, " and when I ended I said, "Here, Dorothy, is a kiss for you.' She replied, 'Oh! pshaw, grandpa! Don't you know that a Diss over the telephone is like a straw hat?' I said, 'Why, no, sweet- heart, how's that?' 'It's not felt,. grandpa,' she said." Beguiling Giles. Everything in the dear old village seemed the same to Giles after his absence of four years as a prisoner of war in Germany. The old church, the village pump, the ducks on the green, the old men smoking their pipes while the women talked—it, was so restful after the treatment he had received at the hands of the enemy. Suddenly he missed something. "Where's Hodge's other windmill." he asked in surprisee!' "I can only see one mill, and there used to be two." The native gazed thoughtfully round as if to verifythe statement. Then he said, slowly: "They pulled one down. There weren't enough wind for two of 'em!" --?- Minare't's Liniment Cures Distemper.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR Make this beauty lotion for a few cents and see for yourself. What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to whiten the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon. juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orcharcLwhite, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream: Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle then this lotion will re- main pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify the skin. Any ,druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little, costand the grocer has the lemons. POi<FLT*' Live Vciultry F450o5N Eggs, eto.?

He says freezone Is an ether com- pound which dries immediately .and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding tissue or skin.
