TAKING IT EASY.
It happened during the rush hours of
the morning. The scene was on the
street car tracks, where incidents of the
kind are frequent, but in a less aggra-
vated. form. A wagon jogging along
slowly got in the way of a street car
heavily laden with passengers. The
driver in charge of it was intently look-
ing before him, and, save that he was
smoking a pipe, seemed to have been
lost in a reverie. The motorman vig-
orously asserted his right of way. The
obstruction swerved not and appeared to
have slackened rather than increased its
speed. Nearer and louder than before
the ringing again resounded. Then
a vociferous shout -was heard, but not
by the driver. Were he stone deaf he
could not look niore unconcerned as his
wagon jogged along. Gong! gong! and
another ebullition, but of no avail.
Some of the passengers who were at-
tracted. by the repeated ringing and the
furore in. front were considerably
amused. Others, being in more hurry,
sympathized with the motorman. Wag

VALUE OF A DIET OF EGGS.
'Vogue of the "Yolk Cure" in Treatutent
of the TJuderfed.
One of the important factors of diets,
based on surfeit feeding, is the relative
assimilability of the products making up
the dietary. It is essential that the
foods partaken of shall be- digested
readily by the stomaeh. This accounts
for the vogue of the "yolk cure" in
the treatment of underfed invalids. It
has been found, according to the Medi-
cal Record, of New York, that raw
or half -raw egg yolks are very readily
digested.
In a healthy subject they entirely dis-
appear from the stomach in from 70 to
100 minutes, even when four are taken
at a time. When a smaller number,
say two, are taken in a cup of hot cof-
fee with sonic sugar and milk, they dis-
appear from the stomatth in about an
hour. The high digestibility of the egg
yolk, which is valuable for the compara-
tively large proportion of fat which it
contains, is ascribed. to the low melting
point of such fat and its fluidity at or-
dinary temperature.
That the fat is assimilated has been
proved conclusively, an analyses show
that less than three per cent. escapes
through the digestive system, For in-
, valids the phosphorized fats of the egg
yolk known as lecithin are particularly
valuable, and there is no doubt that it
is to their presence in a large measure
that the yolk cure has attained its pres-
ent prominence.

SMILING BABIES.

The well baby is never a cross baby.
When baby cries or is fretful, it is tak-
ing the only way it can to let mother
know that there is something wrong
That something is probably some de-
rangement of the stomach or bowels,
or perhaps the pain of teething. These
troubles are speedily removed and cured
by Baby's Own Tablets, and baby smiles
again -in fact, there's a smile in every
dose. Mrs. Mary E. Adams, Lake
George, N.B., says: "I have found
Baby's Own Tablets so good ior the ills

be 'without them." That is the experi-
ence of all mothers who have tried the

Doutnless the majority of people con-
sider niat there is only one dominating
opinion in China -that is, hatred of the
foreigner. And yet it seems from a re-
cent investigation made by the Japanese
paper Shimkoron that China is not lack-
ing. in variety of views. The Sbimkoren
notes no less than seven different par-
ties, all of which have a largo member-
ship. First, there are the extreme can
servatives represented by the Pekin
count and the ruajority of the officials.
To live from day to day; to move with
every wind, be it toward Russia or to-
ward. England; not to tobch the worm-
eaten state edifice except for the moat
necessary repairs; to make no plans with
reference to the future and to move
with the tide of events; these are the
dominant traits. The next party is the
one in favor of a Chino -Japanese ulli-
! slice. This party in nowise desires to
' overthrow the imperial government, but
wishes resolutely to take up the ques
tion of reforms. The Japanese., bre-
, tilers of the Chinese in race and tra-
ditions, are clearly the ones to bring
boll' the educational and military re -
forms to a successful issue.
The next party is the republican party
! which dreams of remodeling China into
a republic similar tO the United States.
, The programme of this party is: China
; for the Chinese, away with the foreign -
ere, teeny with the Manchus. The eon-
• stitutional party represents peaceful
evolution which would disturb the cowl-
, try and furnis foi eigneis with a pre-
text, to get a foothold in China; de-
sires to keep ett the head of the empire
the Manchu dynasty, but also demands
that delegates, elected by the people,
shall have a voice in the affairs of tlie
empire. Another party, the party of

great man can save China from her pre-

At the far end of the lot wore two old army
targets, freshly painted white, upon whbee
the great Shields himself, chalk in hand,
was et this moment piecing a number of
concentrte circles. A large, crudely let-

two targets announced that the great Pis-

Bdbraedzw.dollars in gold war to begin at 3.e0 -
The placard caned it a contest, But as
a matter of fact everybody in San elarcial
felt pretty certain that there would be only
one contestant. Pitted against a goodly
number of men -all more or less noted for
their prowess with the pistol -Tim Whits •
sett had twice given conclusive proot of his
superiority. For the last two years he haa
carried off the prize -badly defeating the
best of his competitors. As defeat seemecl
certain, and there was only one prize, no
one else now cared to enter the lists. But
then San Menial considered Whitseit's
shooting alone worth the seeing.
The judge of the contest was no other
than Bob EVROS, sheriff of the countee
Mounting the box which had been set up '
asigla,min.s.t: the back of, the saloon to eerve as

parently oblivious of the aolsy ridicule that
hle appearance had provoked, he spoke a
few words to the sheriff.
Then tbe latter, struggling, vainly with his
countenance. announced with gusto: "Sec-
ond entry -Henry Jason, or San Francisco."
Whitsett was laughing immoderately. As
• soon as he suceedea iu reducing his milt!'
to a very broad smile, he took his place on
the mark, his hands hanging at his sides.
"Ready!" called the sheriff, watch in
hand. "Firer'
Whltsett's hands swept swiftly, almost
mechanically, to the belt holsters. The
red -sleeved arms came to an incredibly
quick level and stiffened. Six double re-
ports sounded- and a sprink/ing of black
spats showed on the white surface of the
target. Still smoking, the empty pistols
were flashed into their holsters. Then both
hands flew upward, touched for an instant
the shouldera and shot out again. There
was a bright gleam of steel -and again
came six rapid double reports. Whitsett
shoved the pistols quickly into the snoulder
holsters and swaggered into the back-
ground,
The sheriff ran down to the target, count-
, ed the shots and made a note of the result.
j Then he returned and mounted the box,

Ieye, niue in the first ring, six In tho second,
five in the third. This breaks the time re-
cord and target record made by Mr. Whitsett
last year."
The crowd responded but faintly. It hated
to see Whitsett win.
Jason's face was stern and Immovable as
be took his position. The laugh that hae
. Started among the crowd died away invol-
untarlly. Whitsett's face alone wore na
j expansive smile of contempt, After all the
crowd had begun to think that there was
1„ something inscrutably col aud businees-

Jason's eyes were fixed. alertly upon the
' target. At the word "Fire!" the blue, dam-
askeened pistols leaped so swiftly in to Ins
skinny fingers that the spectators could not
follow the movement with their eyea. They
saw only a flashing double crescent of steel.

BLOOD DISEASES
Can All be Cured by the Use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills.
More than half the disease in the
world is caused by ball bloo.l.-weak
blood, blood poisoned by impurities. Bad
blood is the one cause of all the head-
aches tend backaches, the lumbago and
rheumatism, the neuralgia and sciatica,
the debility and biliousnes,s and indiges-
tion, the palenese and pimples and all
the disfiguring skin disease like eczema,
that show how impure the blood actually
is. It is no use trying a different medi-
cine for each disease, because they tell
spring from the one cause -bad blood,
To cure disease you ,must get right down
to the root of the trouble• in the blood.
That is what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
do. They make new, rich blood,. Cone
mon medicines only touch the se- teptoins
of disease. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills root
out the cause, That is why these pine
cure when doctors and common medicines
fail. Here is positive proof: "I suffered
agony from indigestion," says Mr. Fred.
Fillis, of Grand Desert, N. B. "I had no
appetite for my meals and no energy
for my work; my stomach caused me
constant distrees, and everything I
ate lay like lead on my chest. At times
I felt my life a burden. 1 was alwaye
doctoring, hut it did me no good. Then
alittle book came into my hands, and I
read that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills wonlel
cure indigestion. I got them and began i
taking them, and I soon found they were 1
helping' me. My appetite began to inn

POTATO ROT
+este+++ op oefeeerTgoeleeel.+4.44 I***
The November, 1900, crop ,bulickin of the
()Marie Here= of Industrie& stated that 000.
ramble rot had appeared on peitateel.
espeulany where the crop was grown me
heavy eons or on low lying land. The ex-
tent at the loss was variously estImetee
at from 20 to 60 per cent. Thia "soft" or
"wet" rot is quite aistinet from the so -
caned "blight," At first eight most pi the
potatoes appear to be sound, but on exam -
illation, the skin over certain areas is round
to be discolored, and on pressure the part
beneath is soft. On breaking the ekin a
turbid liquid can be meetly pressed out. Thie
ileum raay contain gas bubbles ancl turns
black en exposure to air. The Oda from
affeeted parts easily peals away and the
nowly exposed flesh is watery ana white
but soon discolors in the Mr, aecoming
I almost black. Later the flesh eoftene to a
white, watery pulp, and becomes highly of-
fensive, with a putrefactive ardor, Finally,
the potato become s 1110.4 of black soft
pulp.
The stem of the potato may or may not be
affected. la tbe former ease the base of the
Steins becomes colored and black, then the
leaves above wilt, and the entire stem falls
over. If a piece of diseased stem is cut open
the fibrous strands in it (the fibrovaseelae
bundles) will be found brown to black lu
coier.
The cause of the "blight," wbich particu-
larly affects the leaves, is a tun,gus, ana
the Bordeaux mixture, properly made and
applied, will bold this disease in check, but
the wet or soft rot cannot be managed be
spraying with this mixture, because the
disease is present in the roots and tubers
and hence cannet be got at. The cause of
the "rot" disease is a badterium, a minute
rod about 1-20.000 of an inch long, which
grows with great rapidity in ttie tissue of
the potato and seeretes a substance which
has a dissolving action in the cell wants
which hold the starch walls and other con-
tents of the cell la place, when these cell
wells are aeierzynit the potato becomes
watery aud eoft, putrefaction sets tu and
the tuber is destroyed.
The Bacteriological Department of the On-
tario Agrieultural College, witich bas been
stpdying the disease for the last year, woula
like to ascertain if the disease in various
parts of Ontario is similar to the one with
which it has been 'working, and which
caueed so much damage last year, and hem,*
would like farmers troubled with this Ma -
case to mail an affected potato and state
et the same time if they were troubled with
the soft or wet rot Met year, and to what
extent tbe rot is present in the present sea-
sen't crop.
