Girl babies have been to scarce for so long .iii the British royal family-- the amily—the last was Pein0ess MU)'y, who was bent in 1897—that tho• birth of a. daughter to the Duet ess of York, wife of Bing George's Second son, started the whole Brttisli 'public donating the order of the succession to the throne: and the effect ,thereon of .the latest ad- ditioi to the royal family. The records of the royal house of Windsor must be ransacked a long way back to And pre.een<lent for such, a case as the present.' Thefactthat the Prince of Wales remains a baehe- ler while hie younger brother bas • mar- rie'd awn that hie younger brother's first 'child • should' be a girl injects a new complication, in the taco of which the British public may well be pardon- ed for a momentary diversion in. the sooting out the order of ..precedence of their future rulers. Girl is Third, in Line. COMFORT DEPENDS ON GOOD DIGESTiON Weak Sto111aehs Can be Made Strong Through the Use of Dr. Wilithinl' Pink Pills. The sufferer from indigestion is greatly to bepitietl: This trouble as- sumes v.trioug forme such es pain of-. ter eating, gas on• -the stomach, sour stomach and often vomiting after meals. The sulferer.canlnot get relief by gutting down his food to a starva- tion. basis. That only, still further weakens, What is needed is better, digestion, not a poorer -die. And the way to get a better digestion is to so enrich the blood that the stomach will do 'the work nature intended. As 'a tonic for building up the blood nothing else eau equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,. As this new blood courses. through the veins strength -and tone is given the -stomach and the pangs of indigestion disappear. ' Not only this, the whole system is strengthened and new life. and vim comes to the former sufferer. The value of Dr. Williams' Pink kills in cases of this kind is proved by the experience of Mr. E. G. Malcolm, Port Malcolm, N.S,, who-eayse—"For sever- al years I was a great sufferer from indigestion. I could not eat meat or potatoes, and often could not retain the food I did eat. Only those who How the order of succession to the British throne now stands is clear enough, but just why it stands. 'this. way takes a little more explaining. I1 the Prince of Wales should die a bachelor—as England is beginning re= Instantly to believe he probably will brothel', the DuIse of York, is next in succession, and if there are no boys born to the Duke and Duchess the girl born recently will succeed her father. That is to say, that withe the royal family as now constituter* the new baby princess is the third in the line of succession to the throne. But any children born to the 'Prince of Wales would take precedence over her, as would a younger male child of the Duke and Duchess of 'York. What Is not so clear is why the York baby, being a girl, "should take precedence over her uncles, Prince Henry and Prince George,,. the Icing's two younger sons, while these two princess rank before Princess Mary and her two sons, although Princess. Mary is older than Prince Henry and Prince George, The shortest summary of the succession law le to say that it is by primogeniture in the male line. This, means that the succession goes to the children of either sex of . the eldest surviving son of the sovereign, :with the proviso that the male child of Such a son ranks before a female child; Thus Princess' Mary ranks after all leer brothers.' even if they are younger than she. But the ,York baby girl ranks ahead of all her uncles and aunts except her father's elder broth- er, the Prince of\Vales. She can be displaced from this position in the line of succession only by the birth of a child to the Prince of Wales. or by the birth of a .son to hen father, in either of which cases a new order of precedence would be established. ve Sen affl cted with this trouble. can realize the suffering I endured. I took a lot of doctors' medicine, but it did not give me more than temporary relief. I also took other remedies re- commended, - with no better results. Then I read in a newspaper the case; of a woman whose symptoms were like my own, who found' new °health through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I at once got a supply of these pills and had not taken them very long when 1 began to find relief.. Thus encouraged. I continued the'use of the pills, and I can but sum up what they did for me by saying that they made me feel like a new•man. Every trace of the trou- bie has disappeared And I' can now eat and enjoyy my meals, as. well as any one."

The nearest parallel to the present position of the baby princess is. the succession of Queen Victoria in 1837. in this ettee the young Queen had both Uncletll• and aunts wlho were sons and daughters of George 118., .but she suc- ceeded to the throne because she was the `child of George IIL's eld.e•st sur- viving son, the Duke of Kent. The or- dained sequence of sucoessicn can he interrupted only by a special act of Parliament. which is passed only in the event of foreign marriages in the 'loyal family. Thus when the Gertnita Emperor Frederick, father of the former Kaiser, married Princess' Victoria, the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, site and herchildren were formally debarred from succession to the British throne which wasratified t by a treaty ` c ati e<1 by the Brlttah and German parliaments, Simi- larly, when Princess Victoria of Bat- tenberg was married to King Alfonso of Spain she and her children, al- though their chances'' of succession were very remote, also were barred. If the 'inauguration of a fancily by the Icing's second son does not detract immediately from the popularity of the bachelor Prince 'of Wales, it is none the less Certain that as the years pas0 much of the limelight which is now concentrated on his activities inevit- ably wilt be deflected—and much to his satisfaction -to the girl who isnow third in the line ofsuccession. and who bears the historic nameof Elizabeth.

Always tate Dutch miller has given his mill a name and called it by that; never just the "hill, When a (laugh- ter of the household married, the trill was gaily adorned; when a member of the family died, the mill was put into mourning, ; and the degree of that mourning 'was governed by fixed rules of windmill etiquette. If the owner died, all the twenty boards in the arms of the mill were taken out, and the mill Stood motionless for a. given time, as if in grief over the doss of its own- er. When the. 'church -bells tolled, marking the procession of the funeral from church or ]Lome to the cemetery, the boardless blades were turned 181 unison with the bells. When the wife of the miller died, nineteen boards of the blades were removed; for a child of the fancily, thirteen boards;;for the miller's parents, eleven boards; and so on down the line of relationship to the children of cousins, for whom one board was removed.
