An Th1 Gentian BUM MOdeld 0 • Houses With Lirinp Sugar. • Nearly every one has some lcind of hobby -something that am or he can turn to for enjoyment in leisure moments, but, as a rule, most hobbies take a very ordinary form, •such tie starap-colleobing, photography, orbanting butterflies. Occasionally, however, people have strange ideas of what constitutes amusement, as the following cases will Eillow :—A short time ago there died in Germany an old man of 78. lt was noticed that dur- ing his lifetime, whenever he went to a cafe he always helped himself to a quantity of lump surmr, which 'he put in his pocket and -Cook home. No one could understand why he did this until his death, when in' his room were discovered numerous models of houses and railway sta- tions; all naade out of lumps of sugar. Modelling in sugar was the old man's sole hobby, and it was estimated that in making his little htiuses he had utiaized no ewer than 10,000 lumps of sitgar: here is, in. Ainefica, a married ouple named Vernon, whose hob- by is going through the mtirriage ceremony. They have been mar- ried to each other eleven times, and each time in a different country. Their first wedding took place in Oolumlaus, Ohio, 'in 1909, and•einee then they have been wed in Can- ada, England, Scotland, Wales; France Germany, Belgium, Russia, Australia and Mexico. They have kept the marriage certificates as souvenirs, and when Mr. Vernon was asked the reason for his strange behavior, he replied that "it was a sorb of hobby" with him- self and his wife. TRIBUTE TO KELVIN. Ma Sounding Machine llas Saved Many Lives. "No „wonder that we sailors bless the name of Lord Kelvin." Such is the ooneluding sentence in a let- ter written by Admiral Kennedy to the London • Tines, pitying tribute to the inventive powers of that great scientist for the good that has resulted from their application to maritime needs. The sounding machine devised by Sir William Thomson (as he then was) is the subject of Alnairal Kennedy's par- ticular appreciation. This can readily be understood when the narrow escapes from destruction for which the machine WW1 respon- sible are considered. On one oc- casion a. naval vessel reached the harbor of St. John's, Newfound- land, in safety purely by •means of soundings taken by the machine very half hour in fog, gale, and incling snowstorm, On ' another cosion the navigating officer felt ured of ealety when the chart rked 100 fathoms no • bottom. :ow .Thoinson overboard," was uperior officer's' insbructiont. mson" Was accordingly heav- er and marked--fifeeen fath- "lied we oontinued on our we should have been ashore aylighb," writes the ad - It KNIGHT MOTOR SUCCESS." on of the Knight Motor • Stearns Oompany of ems to • have boon flying of the taking r by several Promi- ughout the United nt of the Knight this country and wad the Moline ny of Moline, ia optipany will with the power - the market by importance to In regard to s the recent se by J. verland Com- eople are, by rgest poppet the United ercl plant at formerly ruction of ye started r.

'Williams' Pink Pills for Toning Up the Blood, It is said that woman's work is never done, and it is a fact that Whether in society or in the home her life is filled with more cares and more worries than falls to the lot of man, For this reason women are compelled regretfully to waLeh the growing •pallor of their cheeks, the coming of wrinkles and the thinness that becomes more dis- tressing every day. Every woinan knows that 11i-hea1th and svorry is a, fatal enemy to beauty, and that good health giSres the plaineet face an enduring attractiveness,. What women fail to recognize is the fact that if the blood eupply-is kept rich and pure,' the day of the owning of wrinkles ,and pallor, dull eyes and sharp headaches is im- measurably postponed. Dr. 'Wil- liams' Pink Pills are literally worth their weight in :gold to growing girls and women of mature year. They fill the 'veins with the rich, red blood that brings brightness to the eye, the glow Of health to jai - low cheeks, and oharnis away the headaches and backwohes that ren- der the lives of so many women constantly miserable. • • Mrs, William Jones, Crow Lake, Ont., 5aYe: "I feel that Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills saved my life. I was so badly run clown that I could hardly drag myself around. I was so bloodless that I was as pale as a sheet, and you could almoet see through my hands. In fact the doe - tor told me my blood had all turned bo water, I was taking medicine constantly, but without benefit. My mother had so mu& faith in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that she bought me two boxes and urged me to take them. How thankful I am that I followed her advice. Before these were gone I began to feel better, and I continued using the Pills until I had taken flve more boxes, when I was again enjoying the blessing of perfect health, with a good color in my face, a good appetite, and I feel euro a new lease of life, I will always, you may be sure, be a warm friend of Dr. •Williama' Pink Pills."

A Traveller's Experience VVIth A New Mexlmin Indian. To the natives of Central America time is Of very small importance, The Word manana—to-morrow—is the key- note of their existence; nothing need be done to.day. A little of this spirit was in a good-humored New Mexican Indian that Mr. Charles F. Saunders tells about in his book, "The Indians of the Terraced Houses." He had picked up the Quakerish name of Ed - * ward Hunt, and enough American ways to`make him think that his little store at the fool of the Ancoma cliffs would be a profitable vehicle in which to make tho journey of life. To him, says the author, we un- folded our plan of spending a few days up in the pueblo village, and we asked him if he could help us to rent a house. No, he thought no one had any, and smiled genially. Then, gee - lug our disappointment, he added: "Well, you eat your lunch, and I guess I have to go with you peoples pretty soon up the mesa, and look around. You wait awhile. Pretty soon I come again." With that he disappeared into the recesses of his little abode dwelling. We at our luncheon in leisurely fashion, tb.en had a bit of siege, and finally went to look for Edward. Through the door of his bongo he was discovered in the midst of his family, changing his shirt, He (Hailed at lid benignantly, aud remarked: "You wait, Pretty soon I come." • We watted—twenty-nye minutes by the watch, At the end of that time he came out and glanced round the store, picked up a large gray somb- rero adorned 'With a magnificent hat. band, set it carefully on his raven locks, viewed himself in a square inch or two of mirror that hung be- hind the door, took one more last slow look about, went into the next room, patted one of the children on the head, and then, stepping forth into the sun- light, observed, ari if we had been keeping him waiting: "You ready?

Tilif RIO Water Sometimes Rises With Ex- traordinary Rapidity. The Rio Grande is such a capri- cious river that it has been neces- sary a number of times to -appoint commissioners on the part of the United •States and Mexico to settle boundary questions it has set afoot, says Youth's Companion. In illus- tration of its vagaries, this story of the experience of a mining man in New Mexico is told: ilo was taking a derrick into the mines, loaded. upon four wagon wheels drawn byfour mules. Ile had twe helpers, one of whom for- tunately wag familiar with the country. The party came to the Kio Grande an hour before sun- down. A wide river bed was sto be seen, but there was no svater—only dry sand, from one bank to another. The waiter was there, but it was flowing' through the sand beneath the' surface. , . The miner, being a "tenderfoot," was for camping on the, nearer bank,where the grass was good; but his helper told him that would never do, unless he was willing to take his chances of staying there a week or so. A god deal Of wa- ter sometimes came down in the channel suddenly, and it would be well to get across while they oould. Accordingly, they darted over the dry sands, when of a sudden the two lead mules were'flounderingia a quicksand, and the whole outfit came near being drawn in. They got the two leaders clear of the harness, and the •other two mules drew first one and then the other out of the quicksand. The' beasts were safely hitched again, and by making a long circuit gob past the quicksand to the other bank. By that time it was almost ten o'clock, and. the moon had risen. . The mules had just began • to climb the bank when a roaring noise was heard up the ohannel. It came from a wall of water that stretched from bank to bank, and was travel- ing -rapidly toward the party, In the moonlight it looked at least four feet high, and there was still higher -water behind it. There was no need to urge the mules on. They heard the water coming, and scrambled up the bank like oats. The ,party got out, der- rick and all, but they had not rimeh time to opera. Before supper was finished the river bed was full, bank -high, With a rapid and Imis- terouli current. There was not a cloud In the sky or a siga of rain anywhere. The fiqed may have come froma cloudburst in Colora- do, two hundred ..miles away; but it very nearly engulfed that little expedition. Very Doctor 110117 Aid Was Secured The Experience Not Uncommon. • The person who suffers from a stomach ailment, if far from a doctor or drag store, is bound to be extreme- ly miserable. Such was the cage with Mr. Johnson E. Eheins, a well known farmer living near Edmonton, who writes: "My stomach got upset I think owing to bad water. I found .great pain after eating. There was swelling and much gas in my stomach and no person could have been more miser- able. Away out in the country it is not easy to get medical attention ex- cept at great cost, and I had to do without: A neighbor who heard of my condition sent me a partly filled bottle of 'Nerviline.' The first dose eased the pain in my stomach, How good that relief was I will never be able to tell. Nerviline cured me. • To- day our homa. is supplied with many bottles of Nerviline. No farruer should be without it, because if it's cramps, diarrhoea or internal pain, Nerviline is a dead sure cure." Sold by every storekeeper and drug- gist.

Hudson Bay, the Mediterranean of :Oanada, le one of the most etrik- ing geographical features of North' America. It is halt as large as the Mediterranean Sea; it drains a vast territory three million square miles in area; vast rivers flow into it from .the south, east and west, flowing from places as distantsas the plains of 'Minnesota and Dako- ta; in its waters :fish and (41 -bear- ing mammals live undisturbed. Along its shores are:fine: harbors; in the country surrounding it are rich mineral deposits and fine farm- ing lands • but it is a region desti- tute of human habitations though white whales, walruses big as ele- phants, and fur -bearing scale dis- port themselves undisturbed in the water. On the land there is wealth, with no one to take it away. Meese Bay is in a latitude farther south than London, anel the more northern portion of Hudson Bay is at about the same latitude as the North of Scotland. The climate also com- pares very favorably with that of the same latitude in some other portions of the globe. The Bay does not freeze across in winter, the winter conditions there being similar to those of the Gulf of Sp. Lawrence, and navigation is pos- sible during four or possibly five months of the year. The Hudson Bay route would bring the great North-West as near to Europe as is the city of Quebee. It offers per- haps the best route to the Yukon district, and is the national ronte to the great wheat fields of the North-West. Gold is there, speci- al:MDR of gold -bearing quartz hav- ing been brought into the Hudson Bay stations, pyrites containing gold have been found by the Geo- logical Survey party, and alluvial gold has been found in the yalleys. Gypsum; iron, copper, silver and lead are abundantly indicated in many places. When a Woman Suffers With Chronic Backache • There Is Trouble Ahead.

Britain fleeing Another Period of Trial With lbw Asiatic Colony., , , The unrest, or, rather, the symp- toms ofunrest, which are now be - coining increasingly manifold in In- dies weites a correspondent of the London Telegraph, are being watohed by the Geyerninent of In- dia with -the greatest care, Little doubt is felt by those who are well informed that devellipments are quite possible at any moment, the 1001,0 so since math of the agitation svhieh is it cra' being carried on with regard to 'quite a variety of pro- blems is being•mosb carefully "en- gineered." This is particularly the case with respect to the agitation against the treatment of Indians in South Africa, a very real grievance, which has long been felt with in 'creasing bitterness, and which, as it aPpeals to Hindus and Moslems alike, lends itself admirably to pro, paganda, purposes. Coupled with this'which is for the monsent to take the main place in the popular expression of India's grievances, there is, of course, the agitation over'the operation of the • Press Law, which throws the onus of establishing the isontrary 00 editors of papers ohargedAvith.„sedi- tion ; there is the somewhat excited Opinion amongthe Moslems foster- ed {luring the Turkish troubles, and• exploited by the riots at Oawnpore over the alleged demolition for purpcisis of a portion of a mosque; there are, finally, a num- ber of mina' political demands now being put forward by Hindus Or by Moslems, or by both, The situation, in short, is such that those influenc- ing opinion in India may at any mo- ment deemib useful to force mat- ters to extremes. •. . Nor has ib escaped general notice that there is.still a steady number of •minor criminal outragen of a po- litical nature. The record of po- litical murders grows weekly, while the syetem of sending explosive let- ters is apparently on the increase: M may be, very well questioned whether, apart from the South Af- rican issue, the Indians of any race or religion :have any serious griev- ance, but there is so much irre- sponsibility among sections of the leaders, so strong a desire to ex- ploit .opportunities, that even those who know India well are nob too reassured as to the likely course of immediate happenings. Ib is, at any rate, certain that the agitation in India is going to be carried a good deal further, and it is always possible that some of those cham- pioningit may have no objection— If it is worthwhile—to securing the glory of some sort of martyrdom. In a situation litich as the present more depends upon a knowledge of the Indian Government than upon the policyolthe India Office. BARGAINS IN STOCK.
