Dr. Wild of Toronto, says the milleninm will take place in 1935. After that date he says there will be no more births and human life will be pro- longed so long that a man 100 years old will be regarded as in the infancy of his existence." The paragraph above has been appearing in a number of our ex- changes. The item first appeared in the TRIES a few weeks ago, under our news of twenty years ago.

It 1s clogged with impurities that make them- selves felt in muny ways, such as pim- ples and eruptions, poor digestion, oc- casional headaches, twinges of Rheu- matism, a lazy feeling iu the morning, and a strong desire to avoid exertion. Sometimes the nerves are unstrung, you feel dull and depressed, and your strength is slipping away. You can only be right by enriching the blood and driving out the impurities. Purgatives won't do this—they only make you weaker. What you need is a tonic, and the best tonic that medical science has yet discovered is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, These pills actually make now, rich, red blood, brace the nerves and bring health and energy to weak, desponded and easily tired men and women. Mrs. Chas. Blackburn, Aylesford Station, N.S , says: "For the past ten years Dr, Williams' Pink Pills is the only mediciue I have taken when . I found I needed medicine. Last spring I was feeling poorly, was weak, easily tired and depressed. I got three boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and they made me feel like a new person. They are the best medicine I know of when the blood is oat of condition." If you need a medicine this spring— and there are few people who do not— take a few boxes of Dr. Williams' Piuk _Pills, and you will find an improved appetite and new health and streugth such as no other medicine can give you. There is no disease of the blood these pills will not cure, simply because they make new, rich blood that drives disease from the system. The genuine Piuk Pills have the full name, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," ou the wrapper around each box. Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Ca., Brock- ville, Ont. Mrs. Robt.

The rush from Ontario to Manitoba and the West is greater this spring than ever before. There is every reason to believe the outflow will continue in in- creasing volume from year to year. This movement must have a far•reach- ing influence on the future of this Pro- vince. The first effect will be seen in an increase in the size of the average farm, many of those leaving for 'the West selling their present holdings to neighbors who remain behind. It is to be feared, with the increase in the size of farms, there will be a movement from rather than towards intensive cultiva- tion; the main object 'will be to mini- mize labor rather than to increase pro- duction to the limit. Another effect piay be the fteileral i>3ttQdncti9a 9f Wi- ng ana Po1ee acs farm laborers, A movement in this direction had ginady inEn AS a result New lams g of the same causes which are making their effect felt here. the most serious fea- ture in the sithation is that so large n proportion of those going West is forlited of the yofinger and more energetic cele• menta of our population.

Yes, it's worth while. It is worth while bothering over the little things, those trivial affairs which so many neglect to do, the last ounce given, the full yard measured to the fraction? Yes, it is worth while. Is it worth while to get up and go ou when you have fallen, when yon have _ made that big mistake and everyone knows of it? Yes, it is worth while. It is worth while keeping your month shut when you know the secret that might ruin your rival in love, your op- ' position in business, or the enemy who has done you dirt? Yes, it is worth while. It is worth while being obliging when it costs pain and time, and when there 15 no apparent reward? Yes, it is worth while. Is it worth while working over the hour when business is rushing, working willingly, working without grumbling and working hard, as hard, as if you were getting paid extra for this spurt of labor? Yes, it is worth while. Is is worth while going to church when you don't like the minister's preaching, when you don't like him, when there is a man who sits in front of you you are sure is a hypocrite, and whom you have no use for? Yes, is is worth while. It is worth while going to church when the weather in fine, when the air is pleasant, and the sun's smile is sweet? Yes, it is worth while. It is worth while keeping on when you want to quiet, staying when you want to go, smiling when yon want to cry, sympathizing when you want to scold? Yes, it is worth while. It is all in the daily lesson, and let us not skip any of the pages. I had not been in the home for years. When I was there last they showed me a little babe in a cradle. The other day I called and the child was walking, talking, and studying how to make 8 and 7 fifteen, how to spell cat and rat. She, I am sure, had received many sorry tpmble as elle trier tQ ivunAc) serest; the Rook; niftily a moment of dis- couragement swept over that little mind as the awfulness of those A. B. C's loomed up before her vision. We have learned our A. B. C's. We have learned that 8 and 7 make 15. But there are many other lessons, and they are all worth while. —Charles F.

A conference of Provincial Treasurers is being arranged for, with a view to the adoption of uniform succession duties.

At the Imperial Theatre, London, women have recently been employed as scenic artists with great success. The first street lighting in America was done in 1697 when New York Coun- cil ordered the household to hang out lanterns. There is "old maid" insurance in Denmark. Women who think they may become old maids pay so much a year, and at 40 receive pensions for life.
