land- of e mysterious euiture earlier
than that which followed; In the rake
of the nli•conqueifng eaglesof the
Iiterual City.
Long before the Rouians set foot in
Britain the Caledonians built a great
defenalvo work in the form of a
„dyke," with forte eleng it at regular
Intervals, It started on the East Coast
of Scotland, went to within a• mile of
`there Ga1aal/leis now ''stands, -and then
tinned south through Scott's Border•
land to Peal Fell, 1n Cumberland.
In three places this ancient fortifica-
tion survives, and IN 1tnOWn variously
64 ns the Catrail, the Dell's Dyke, and
the Picts' Work Ditch. Tho dyke was
some twentysix feet broad, supported
on either side by ramparts, each about
seven feet high and twelve feet thick.
W iy Were They BIM?
'AR over Scotland are hundreds of
forts built on hill -tops. The White
Oaterthun, in I orfarshlro, is a good
example of these. It consists of four
circles of stone, the diameter of the
inner circle being eighty paces. The
stones are twenty-five feet thick at the
top and over a hundred feet thick at
the base,
Beyond the outer circle is a ditch
with an earthen breastwork round it,
while beyond this, again, rune•adouble
entrenchment, The entrances to these
various circles are zigzagged, so that
each remains covered by fortifications.

shire, has five great atone circles, all
Perfectly round and flawlessly built,
although there are no toolmarks to
show how they were shaped.
These buildings are interesting but
not puzzling, because we know for
what purpose they were built; but
there are others, commonly known as
Picts' Burghs, to which no use can be
assigned.
A burgh is a single tower, perfectly
round in shape, wide at the bottom
and narrowing towards the top from
the outside. The outer walls of these
towers, shaped into Perfect circles,
have no openings of any sort except
the entrance, Obviously, then, the
buildings were never intended for
forts.

way, and between the two are count-
less rooms, often too small for people
ever to have lived in them. The larg-
est of these mystery towers is that of
Ramsay, in the Orkneys.
At pottery the Caledonians could
not compare with the Romans, since
the potter's wheel seems to have been
unknown amongst them. But they al-
most excelled the "masters of the
world" in their ornaments. The moun-
tains yielded their craftsmen gold, sil-
ver, bronze, amber, rubies, and rock
crystals such as agate, Jasper, and
cairngorms and "jet. From these they
made ornemeats and weapons.
Most people are familiar with the
shoulder -brooches with which High-
landers fasten their plaids. Brooches
such as these, ouly much more elabor-
ate, have been found In both cairns
and towers. They are of gale or sil-
ver, or both, circular instiape, and in-
tricately chased with inter -turning
rings. Often they are pewol-studied.
They were obviously made for fasten-
ing the heavy, many-bued—tartan—
stuffs mentioned by Roman writers as
being worn by the Caledonians.
Weapons of War.
Even more interesting than the or-
naments are the weapons of the peo-
ple. from bronze they made them-
selveit beautiful short swords, or long
daggers, shaped like the gladioli
leaves, on which the Romans later
modelled their swords. The handles
of these knives—"dirks" the Scots of
a later day called them—were of gold
and silver, richly chased and jewelled.
Their shields, or stages, are also
beautiful. They aro small and round
and are made of bronze, embossed
with circles o5- Jewels and raised
mouldings.
All these things and many others
have been supposed to date back to
about 500 B.C.; bet thie year a dis-
covery,.not yet fully investigated, has
suggested that this early civilization
built up by Britain's mystery race
may date as far as 2000 13.0, or far•

was that the man's death was due to
carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon
monoxide has become one of the com-
monest forms of gas poisoning, In the
cities, tt is now found that the deaths
from this gas exceed those from any
other poison. Rut deaths from carbon
monoxide can happe:. anywhere. This
gas can be just as fatal in small cot-
tages out in the country through in-

These accidents occur so unexpectedly
that it Is well for the public to know
the danger of hot water gas heaters

carbon monoxide' in houses, especially
where they are not properly connected
to an active flue. Soot gradually col-
lects in the devices, and may become
incandescent, thus furnishing id
conditions for the production of car-
bon monoxide, which, unless removed
through the flue, "may result in seri-
ous accidents.
!The danger of carbon monoxide is
that it is odorless and the victim has
thus little warning cf its presence
until symptoms appear. The indi-
vidual feels dizzy and complains of
headache, with a feeling of sleepiness
and sense of fatigue. Because of t
'great loss of motor power which the
gas causes to the muscles of the body,
;the victim may be unable to escape
even though he is aware of the den -
,ger, It is thus well to know some
thing of the dangers of carbon mon-
:oxide and where it is liable to appear,
for to be forewarned is to be fore-
nrmed. Proper ventilation is essen-
tial wherever there is danger from

that it discharged approximately
twenty -rive cubic feet of gas per min-
ute, sampled of which gave anaverage
of nix per cent. carbon monoxide or
one and one-half cubic feet of deadly
carbon monoxide gas every minute.
Larger engines will naturally give off
more. A ratio of fifteen parts of car-

centration to be exposed to for any

NEW HEALTH FOR
SUFFERING WOMEN
Obtained Through Enriching the
Blood Supply.
Many women endure with silent pa-
tience suffering that casts a shadow
over half her life. But an aching back,
tired limbs, sideaches, attacks of faint-
ness and splitting headaches need not
be a part of a woman's life. Such
trials indicate plainly that 'her blood
is thin and Impure; that to drive away
these troubles her system requires the
new, rich blood supplied by Dr, Wil-
liams' Pink Pills., These pills are
valued by suffering women, who have
used them, above all other medicines
because they make the rich, red blood
that makes women f well and at
their best. Proof of these statements
is given by Mrs. Eugene Deslauriers,
Richot, Man„ who says:—"A few
years ago my health completely failed.
I was subject to those' troubles that
afflict so many of my sex. Added to
these I suffered from constipation,
loss of appetite, dizziness, a ringing in
my head and nervous prostration. I
consulted several doctors, but their
medicines failed to give me relief.
After much persuasion I began to take
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but without
much hope as I believed that no meli-
Cine would help me. To my great joy,
however, I found these pills were Just
what I needed, and I can honestly say
they have made me a well woman. I
can naw do with ease all my own house-
work, and I strongly urge other weak,
ailing women to give this medicine a
fair trial, feeling that what it has done
for me it will de for others."

A Peep Into aLittle-Known
Industry.
Do you know how your wallpaper is
made?
No matter what the quality of the
wallpaper may be, or the price asked
for it, every design is first produced
in water colors,
After the parts of the design to be
printed in each eater are separately
drawn they are ready for transferring
to the rollers. This may be done
either by engraving the design on cop-
per rollers or by taking wooden roll-
ers and working out the design by
means of small braes strips, the spike
ends of which are driven into the
wood.
Before the actual printing takes
place the paper's given a background.
This Is done by passing the huge reels
of paper through machines fitted with
mechanical arms which brush the.;
paper with a suitable coloring matter.
The reels of tinted paper now pass
to the dry -rooms, where the regulated
heat removes every trace of moisture.
In the meantime the machines are
made ready by arranging the pattern'
and rollers around a large drum. As
the paper is: fed into one end of the
Machine, each roller prints upon it one
or the colors that go to make up the
complete design.
The coloring mutter is applied to tee
rollersby
Tier means of endless woven
belt, which, passing through the color
troughs insure supplies of the right
color being applied to each roller.
Atter the rolls of paper are printed
they pass to the drying rooms. To
give the wallpaper a superior finish it
is passed through a machine with an
engraved roller revolving against a
soft plain one. In this way, the differ-
ent markings or "grains" are pressed
into the paper.
Thoroughly dried for the last time
the paper ie mechanically treasured,
rolled, and cut.
As the rolls are being wound, the
machine marks off the paper into
lengths. This mark, the operator
looks for. When it appears, the ma-
chine is stopped for a moment, the
paper is cut, and the neatly wound
rolls are removed ready for use.

A wciton•known seieutietrsays that pre-

due to the too .lavish .expendltitre of
energy --the 4'11fo forces"--pbysteal

We have no reserve at .the time we
want it, We've spent so freely that
there's nothing ip the Bank of Vitality.
So his advice is that we ahotiid re-
strain tide expenditure by the test:
"fa it worth while?"
That net only applies to strenuous
mental and pliyaieai expenditure, but
to much else. For instance, It is not
worth while to be very angry. Anger
makes a huge draft on our "life force."
The exhaustion winch follows an out-
break of violent anger Is nothing less
than an exhaustion of "ilia,"
It is not worth while to flog our
brains to complete a task, An ever -
driven horse, an over•forced machine,

Similarly with the delicate Human ma-
chine, It is not worth while "hating,"
or scheming revenge, The consequent
draft on the "life force" in us is very
large.
Even pleasures should not escape
the test. ).ate hours may apparently
hold no harm, but that "washed-out"
feeling is a sign that we have parted
with much of our vitality.
Tits toll has been taken, and because
the ordinary replacement of used ''vi-
tality takes ail our time, the special
loss is Dever really made up.
The Circuit Rider And the
Devil,
There was rain on the mountain—

that made the Methodist circuit rider
as he urged his old horse to greater
speed button ills shabby .old Coat up
under iiia chin and pull his hat down
_over his eyes. Tile constant drip, drip,
drill on the dead leaves of the forest
made him think with eager anticipa-
tion of his little home. There would
be a bright cracking fire pf hickory
logs, a softly shaded lamp on the read•
ing stand beside iris chair, and Sally,
Plump, rosy -cheeped, cheerful Sally,
the best wife .a man ever hall!
Ile had a surprise for Sally. Safe
in the old wallet buttoned up' snug in
the inside breast pocket of the old
coat were two five•dolier . bills, and
both of them were for Sally. Money
that Sally needed had come to him so
unexpectedly that he felt that the
Lord bad made him the oustodlan of it
' as a direct gift to his wife. Iie.wae

smile one close beside the road cried,
"Halt!"
The preacher realized that was in a
"Meonshtuera' country," Peering
through the misty gloom, be found to
his consternation that he was close to
old Nance's cabin, the notorious Haven
of all the evil -doers of three town-
sbips. Ten dollars was a line sum in
that country at that time; it is not at
all strange that the rider wondered
whether he were about to be robbed.
"Parson," said the stranger, "old
Nance wants that you should come in

Needless to say the preacher grant-

chapter from the Bible that he always
carried in his saddle bag and then ex-
pounded it. Nor was that all. Find-
ing that the old crone needed material
aid also, he left one of the precious
bills in her withered hand.
A good deed, you say, and worthy of
the man. Yea, no doubt, but let the
preacher ten what followed:
"Wisen I mounted my horse to ride
on the Devil got up behind me, and his
voice whispered, 'Now what are you

going to tell Sally?'
"In vain did I argue the case with

back with, 'Yes, yes! But what are
you going to tell Sally?'
"At last I just turned my horse

Dad's Lantern.
I ride a horseto echoed six miles away:
One night—last week it was --I had to
stay
An extra hour to practice in the "gym."
I saddled Billy, gave rein to him
And started home. The country roads
were dim,
And fog had settled down, all thick
and gray.
Somehow I felt so tired and chilled
clear through.
I knew that I'd be missing supper too
Out on the farm. It wasn't very gay
To ride a horse to school six miles
away
And then go home alone. I'm here to
say
That chilly wind and fog Just made
me blue.
The miles slipped by at Billy's lazy
Jog,
And then—I saw Dad's lantern through
the fog,
And Dad himself came down to )lit
the gate
"We heard you in the lane. It's pretty
late,
But Mother teemed to think we'd bet-
ter wait."
He said to me. And all I said was
"GeeI
You hadn't oughts waited just for me."
But say! I'll not forget 1f I should be
A hundred years how glad I was to see
Dad's lantern, blinking throhgh the
fog at me,
And how it seemed too bully to be true
That all the folks were waiting supper
too!

China's Mystery Creatures. •
Strange creatures, said to have been
found in the South of China, are calm-
ing a great deal of scientific curiosity.
The most amazing of these discover-
ies deals with a race of "dog -faced"
people. This tribe is said to live fare
in the interior. They have thick hair
all over their bodies, live In trees, and;
are entirely savage.
There have been reports also et a
blue tiger, a creature which is!
against all known laws of zoology.
This beast is not striped like the or-
dinary tiger, but has a binieh fur re
sembling the color of coarse dungaree.:
During one month, a scientist report -1
ed, this specimen killed and ate sixty
people. The sante explorer, Dr. Cald-
well, also (Recovered a burger as big
as a bear, and shot a screw, a very rare
animal which is a cross between a
goat and an antelope.
All these reports lend color to the
theory held by many scientific men
that in southern China there are many
strange primitive men and animals to
be discovered. Life in this region to-
day is supposed to be very like that in
prehistoric times, and many "prehis-
toric" annuals may be still existing.
The men, too, stave probably remained
almost unchanged,-
For years the Chinese themselves
have believed that dragons and flying
serpents exist in their country, They
have been scoffed at as having vivid
imaginations, but may it not be a fact
that these creatures atilt Writin the

now and then, but manners are of
more importance than the laws. Man-

form, insensible operation like that of

Sing a Song of Sixpence.
"Sixpenny worth of miracle," is a
striking expression from George GIs -
sing, the novelist. Mr, Kennedy Wil-
liamson writes a summary of a story
that Gassing himself told. In a lonely ,
spot by a woodland the novelist found
a small boy leaning against a tree;
his head was buried in his hands, and
he was sobbing out his heart. The lad
had been sent to pay a debt with six-'
pence and had lost the money. He
was not so much afraid of facing his
parents as he was sorrowful at the
loss they sustained,
"Sixpence (twelve Cents) dropped
by the wayside and a whole family
made wretebed! I put my banil-in my!
pocket and wrought sixpenny worth of
miracle," said Gassing.
How little it sometimes takes to
make a heart happy!
The significance of the story be-!
comes more apparent as Mr. William• I
son takes a look behind the scenes of

Find Cure for Malaria.
A cure fez' malaria flue been found
by Dr, Geo. H. Hooper, member of the
staff of the William C. Gorges Hoopla-
tel of Tampico, Flo.
As a result malaria, the white
piagee of tbe tropics, bas been con-

Hooper, who first conceived the idea
of wales mercurochrouc, a practically
new drug.
A specialist of Johns Hopkius Uni-
versity,Dr. Hugh Young, is said to
have been tiro first to use nlercul'w
chrone in any capacity., The drug it-
self is a red analine dye and has been
employed successfully in the treat-
ment of infeetons of the kidney and
in certain cases Of blood poisoning.
Mercurochrone injections for the
treatment of malaria were admen's.
tared last September by Dr. Hooper
for the first time, and with remarkable
results.
Within forty-eight hours chronic
eases of more than a year's duration
showed marked improvement. Mic-
roscopic;examinatiors of the blood re-
turned negative remlls . and the pa
dents remained free from the malady,
against which quinine is powerless to
afford more than a temporary relief.

handled in the United Kingdom.
Among these are aluminum coins
made for use in Africa, including the
ten -a penny piece circulated In Nigeria
and the half -cent used mainly in the
Uganda Protectorate. Both are Per-
forated, to conform to the native habit
of carrying money on a string.
For Ceylon there is issued a quaint
little square coin, worth five cents.
Another aridity is the Maltese "grano,"
which has the distinction of being our
smallest coin. It is worth one -twelfth
of a penny.
Salt Gift to God.
Among the Greeks it was customary
to present salt to the gods as a thank
offering at the beginning of every
meal.
