It results from the careful measure-

the Transeaspian Railway that the Ievel
of the Caspian Sea is 83 feet below the
level of the oceans. If the Caspian Sink
were filled with water up to ocean level
the town of Krasnovodsk, which stands
on its shore, would be submerged, for the
mean elevation of that town is between
83 and 64 feet below ocean level.

People why used to suffer torments of

postponed the attack until the present

vail:
"if I were asked to name the cardinal

of water externally and internally, (3)
elimination, through the skin, kidneys
and intestinal beret, by supplying the pa-
tient with an abundance of water and
keeping the body clean and comfortable.
"I make it an invariable rule to insist
that the patient drink frequently and
freely of water, thereby aiding elimina-
tion through the intervention of the skin
and kidneys, keeping; the general tone of
the patient at the highest standard, and
the temperature is held more readily in
check. In fact. I regard the internal use
of an abundance of water of so much im-

EER* BENEFITS THE WHOLE BODY
(NO OTHER FOOD -BEVERAGE DOES THAT MUCH)
OT six people in a thousand (and those six
have either diabetes or gouty tendencies)
can get anything but real good from the use
of good beer with their meals. Because
that kind of beer (and no other kind is brewed in Ontario)
benefits the whole body of the normal adult,—enriches
the blood, vitalizes the stomach, makes kidneys and
liver active, builds flesh and betters nerves.
er Is Not A Mere Tnic
Good beer, drank with meals and at bedtime, is not merely a
tonic—for a tonic simply gets one part of the system to work
better for a while, by stimulating its activity, while beer, rightly
used, does the whole system permanent good.
Beer wilds Up. Thin Folks
That is why good beer is such a notable flesh -builder, and why
it is so effective in changing the too -white blood of aenemic
people into the red, strong, healthy blood of the vigorous. It
has qualities that are very valuable to women, especially, It is
distinctly NOT an intoxicant, nor a hurtful stimulant. Ask
your doctor if beer wouldn't be good for you as an Item of
daily diet.
*BEER is a term which covers lager, ales, porter and stout ; and, in the practise of Ontario
brewers, implies beverages made under most hygienic conditions from Ontario barley ( the Bost in

The Island is about three miles and a half
in olroumtjrenpe. It is diversified in sur-
face and beautifully wooded, while In all di-
rections it receives cooling breezes and com-

broad Atlantic to the picturesque shores of

In Joy or Sorrow.
God is with rete in my troubles, to be
an infinitely greater joy. He is with ire
in my losses, to be a gain beyond all
calculation. He is with me in my long-
ings for good and for peace, for large
measures of truth and love, to answer'
uteri; for he has inoopired me with there
longings. He is with us when we go
wrong to show us the error of our ways,
when we go right to give us the satis-
faction and the reward to visit with en-
couragement and to show still larger
openings in the stone direction: God
is with His own when they sleep, to be
ready in due time to stir in them their
waking, working powers. Nothing can
happen to man so bad, cone to him when
he wakes or when he sleeps, in a way to
leave him otherwise than on the bosom
of the Father.—W. 3I. Bicknell.

ROSES OF LOVE AND
THORNS OF WEDLOCK
The Experience of Thousands Illus-
trated lira a Single In-
stance.
"In love's garden lilies shake their
golden bells when Cupid passes by, but
the roses of love and the thorns of
wedlock grow on the ,same bush." This
lofty sentiment, with its saa refrain,
uttered by one of the world's brightest
and sweetest characters, was strikingly
illustrated recently in the case of one of
the brightest young wives of Toronto,
who after the birth of her first born
was pronounced a hopeless tuberculosis
subject. The case was greatly aggrava-
ted by chronic etomaeh trouble. A neg-
lected summer cold was the originat-
ing cause. The distracted husband and
newly constituted father sought some
word of consolation from the doctors.
None came. A friend advised Psyehine.
In the absence of other hope he tried
it. No doctors now. Instead of his wear-
ing the badge of loneliness, that beauti-
ful wife and proud mother, with her
sweet baby, daily accompanies "Papa"
down one of the fashionable streets of
Toronto. Ask them how it all came
about, and they answer, simply, "Psy-
chine!"
"1 consider it a duty to other mothers
and other sufferers to tell of my ex-
perience with Psychine, One year has
already passed since I discontinued
taking these remedies, and there has
been no return of my former trouble.
Before taking Psyohine my system be-
came run down with lung and other
troubles. I lost flesh and strength rap-
idly. It was as nmeh as my life was
worth to eat ordinary food. I owe my
present sylendid health to Psychine.

No Subject for Congratulation.
A young lawyer, not noted tor intelligence,
succeeded in having a client acquitted of mur-
der. Meeting a friend a few days afterward,
the lawyer was greeted with warm congratu-
lations.
'Yes.' said the lawyer, mopping his brow,
"I got hire off, but it was a narrow es -
care."
"A narrow eocapel How?"
"Alt, the tightest squeeze you ever saw.
'Thu ]snow I examined the witnesses and
made the argument myself, the plea being
self-defence. The jury was out two whole
days. Finally the Judge called them before
him and asked what the trouble was.
' 'Only one thing, my lord," replied the
foreman. "Was the prisoner's counsel re-
tained by him or appointed by. the Court?"
"'No, gentlemen, the prisoner is a man
of means," said the Judge, "and engaged his
own mimed,"
"I could not see what bearing the ques-
tion had on the evidence,' continued the law-
yer, 'but ton minutes later in filed the jury,
and what do you think the verdict was?'
'What?' asked his friend.

Immense Saltpetre Beds.
Anibal Cruz, Minister from Chile to
the United States, said last night that
reports that the ,immense beds of salt-
petre found in that country tvi11 be ex-
hausted in a few years are erroneous.
"Those -beds will not last merely a hun-
dred years or two hundred, but will be
helping to make Chile wealthy a thou-
sand years from now. Chile is the only
country in the world in which such de-
posits of saltpetre are found. They are
for the most part owned by Germans
and Englishmen. The Germans are the
most heavily interested, with the Eng-
lish next, Most of the saltpetre is ex-
ported to Hamburg, while some of it
gees to Liverpool. The Chilean Govetn-
men't derives it large amount of revenue
from this export trade, as a duty of
about two shillings a ton is exacted on
all that is sent out. The revenue am-
ounts to eighty or ninety million shil-
lings each year.—From the Washington
Herald.

of Denbigh, Ont., was tortured day
and night with blind bleeding piles,
so bad that he says: "I could find no
comfort standing, sitting or lying down,
and was unable to do any work. One
day my eyes rested upon a little
sample box of Zam-Buie. I picked it up
and read tate word CURES PILES. I
started using Zam-Buk that night, and
before I could purchase alarge box I
was already cured., and HAVE NOT ---
BEEN TROUBLED SINCE. You may,

A Mammoth's Teeth.
Miners excavating near Starunia made
a very interesting prehistoric find in the
remains of a mammoth in excellent state
of preservation. So far, says a Lem-
berg correspondent of the Pall Mall
Gazette, the portions dug out include
two teeth, some six feet in length, but
in five or six pieces, jaw bones, parts
of the vertebrae column, and three or
four yards of hide, upon which the hair.
is still fresh, joints, and other bones,
and one foot of the animal. The re-
markable state of preservation in which
the skeleton was found is attributed to
the fact that the soil in the district is
permeated with mineral oils, earth wax
and natural gases.
