--- WHEN THE NERVES | ARE OUT OF GEAR They Need New, Rich Bleed to Restore Their Tone. Men and women with nerves out of gear become irritable and fretful and are blamed for ill-temper; whereas the fault is not theirs. Their poor health is the cause. The tired, over- busy wife or mother, whose household cares have worn her out; the bread- winner whose anxiety for his family has worried him until he is thin and ill, are the nerve sufferers who become run down. Their nerves, iike all bodily organs, need healthy red blood; worry tells on their digestion and their nerves are ill-fed. In such cases a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is necessary, for these pills make new blcod and tone up the nervous system. The patient becomes full of energy and happiness for themselves and others returns. Mrs. Wm. Hughes, Cold- water, Ont, has proved the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and does not hesitate to say so. She says: --"Two years ago I suffered untold agonies with my nerves. The pains in my fiead and the back of my neck were unbear- able. I was depressea and cranky all the time. All the rest I took and best of medical attention did me no good. I was advised to try Dr. Williams'. Pink Pills and after taking them for a time felt much better. I continued their use with great benefit, and after my baby was born they were the only tonic that helped me nurse her. 1 found them a splendid blood enricher, and cannot recommend them too high- ly." You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The Model Child. Evety mother hopes that her child will be a model child, and some secret- ly think that theirs are models, al- though they are apt to add that they "don't expect children to be perfect!" But we quote a wise old French philesopher, "Children need models rather than critics." When we come to sift the matter down a model child needs a model mother. A school teacher readily recognizes those children whose mothers are "on their job," for well-behaved children come from such homes. And while mother's influence is first, nearest and most personal. The hand that tucks the cover in at night is more intimate than the one which corrects the arith- Of course the conscientious mother teaches her child honesty, kindliness, charity, thrift, good manners and many other details of good character and breeding. But the model child is not conscious of such teaching, the model mother teaches by example. Children, being extremely imitative naturally, observe and copy whatever is close at hand. The model mother does not say, "Respect your elders," she goes cut of her way, herself, to show deference to the grandparents, and the children un- conscicusly take the cue in their man- ners toward old age. If a mother's voice Is sweet and gentle, children are far less likely to snarl at each other. If she is scrupu- lous about paying bills and giving everyone his due, the model child like- wise scorns to cheat. 'When a mother permits no waste in the kitchen, keeps clothes neatly mended, brushed and cleaned, the model child, though he does not be. come faultless at once--this is too much to expect--has nevertheless the idea of thrift and orderliness very firm- ly fixed for the rest of his life. Children, of course, need direction and advice, which can be suggested in a friendly, tactful way. But the model child is really the result of a model mother--for about all "Children need models rather than critics."--Marion Brownfield. -- When Our Brains Stop Growing.

In her most interesting biography, John Keats, published only a few months before her death, Miss Amy Lowell tells once more the ever-touch- ing story of the great English poet's sickness and death in Rome, tended only by his faithful friend, the artist, Joseph Severn. In a strange city, among a people terrified at the word consumption, and with no proper con- ditions cr skilled nursing available, even had they not been straightened formoney, there were times when poor Severn--keeping as much of his worry and exhaustion from the invalid as he could--scarcely knew which way to turn cr how to drive himself to do all that he must. But he never for a mo- ment failed his-friend. He cooked, he cleaned, he swept, he tended, he watch- ed, with a heart-broken courage and patience that have given him a finer and firmer hold on remembrance and gratitude than the best achievements of his brush. Keats would occasionally refuse fcod. Severn would sometimes prepare his meals six times over, in the hope of tempting his appetite, keeping from him the trouble he had in doing it. At times Keats would not even at- tempt to eat, says Miss Lowell. Once Severn made him a cup of coffee, but he threw it away; this was repeated a second time with the same result. On Severn's appearing still a third time with more coffee Keats was ashamed and deeply affected. Yet, throughout all these weeks Keats's mind was oc- casicnally capable of its old elasticity and charm. Severn, who sat up night after night, sometimes fell asleep from sheer exhaustion. Fearing that some night the candle might burn out while he slept and Keats wake in darkness, he one evening tried the experiment of fastening a thread from the bottom of one candle to the wick of another. Keats awoke just as the first candle was guttering cut, and while he waited, not liking to call Severn, the thread ignited and successfully bore the flame to the second candle, at which Keats suddenly cried out: "Severn! Severn! Here's a little fairy lamplighter actually lit up the other candle!" The candle that it lit was more than one of wax; for more than a century its glow has lighted a picture of the dying poet's grateful surprise, and his friend's tender and faithful service. How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world. He--"You're the sweetest girl I ever saw." She--"Sweetness can't be seen." ------ilinsiil A Name to Suit the Case, The ease with which many of the recent accessions to the population change their names is illustrated by the following true anecdote. The teacher in a public school be- came so interested in a little Polish girl that she was anxious to learn of her progress after she was promoted to a higher grade and asked her new teacher concerning her. There is no such child in my room," answered the one so questioned. "No Marie Levenski! Why! 1 know that she was sent to your room, for I asked about it at the time." "There is no Marie Levenski in my room. I am very sure," persisted the other. "But I have seen her go in the door, and there she is now," darting as she spoke toward a small girl approaching from the opposite direction. "Isn't your name Marie Levenski?" she de- manded. "It used to be, but now it is Mary Jones," was the calm reply. "Mary Jones! How can that be?" "Why, father buys and sells old junk, and one day there was a door plate with the things, and the name on it was Jones. Nobody would buy it, so we put it on our door, and now my name is Mary Jones." rl err meee. A Seasonable Hint.

Although hot-air and hot-water in- cubators were not known in Europe un- til the last decades of the eighteenth century, the Chinese and Egyptians practised artificial incubation of fowls' eggs thousands of years ago. The an- cient Egyptians bullt enormous ovens of semi-dried bricks, often covering an area of as much as 6,000 square feet. Similar egg-ovens are in use in Egypt to-day, the craft having been handed down through the centuries, from fath- er to son. Through the centre of the egg-oven runs a passage which opens up on each side to circular vaults, in which the actual hatching is done. Fires are kept alight in cach vault, and all surplus. heat and smoke escape from a large hole in the roof. Dur- ing incubation the porous egg-shell ad- mits a slight amount of oxygen and allows the escape of other gases. Every day the shell grows more brit- live chick to break forth it has no dif- ficulty in doing so. GREAT EELP TO YOUNG MOTHERS Baby's Own Tablets Have Many Uses and Are Absolutely Harmless.

It is quite true that Australia has the tallest trees in the world, but they are not in Victoria, huge as are the Gippsland gums and the giant pines of Capt tOtway. The real super trees are in the south-west corner of the con-| tinent. They are the giant flowering eucalyptus, growing on and adjacent to the shores of Lake Alexander; and they were discovered about 1896 by Chief Surveyor F. 8. Brockman, of the Lands Department, Perth, when he was exploring the Geographe Peninsula un- der instructions from John Forrest (then Premier of Western Australia), who wanted to ascertain how much first-class land there was available in the "goed rainfall" region. Brockman brought back with him some of the splendid scarlet flowers of these glants, also some seeds.
