T PALE, LANGUID GIRLS Weak Blooa During Develop- ment Way fcasily Cause a Life of Suffering. A Tonic Such as Dr Williams' Pink Pills is Needed to Build Up tliB £lOLd and Give HbW Stiength. At no time in her life dofs a girl stand in greater need of pure red lilood and the strengtii which it alono can give her, than when she ia developing into womanhood, it is then that any inherited tenden- cy to nnaeniia or consumption needs only the slightest encourage- ment to rapidly develop. Tliis danger is especially threatening to ^irls who are confined long hmirs indoors, in stores, offices and fac- toriesâ€"girls depressed by worry and cares. All these conditions quickly impoverish the blood and aro among the most common caus- es of sickness among growi.ig girls and young women. If at any lime a girl finds that her strength is failing and she is becoming pale and nervous, has no ainbition and is languid, it is a certain sign that her blood is failing to meet the de- mands upon it, because it is im- lure and thin. It is at a time like this that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills arc iiivalu- able to young women and growing girls. Tlu'y buiUl up the b!oo<l, make it rich, red and pure, tone tlie nerves and give new health and strenKlh to e\cry part of tlic body. Tlii-y have cured yo many cases of this kind that they may truly be calleil a sppcifu; for the K'mmon diseases of girlhood. Miss Alinnie Smith, t'reightoii street, Halifa.x, says: â€" "I hav;- proved that i>r. Williams' Pink Pills are all that is claimed for them in cates similar to nrne. About three years ago I suddenly began to run down. I grew so weak that 1 could hardly attciid to my school studies. 1 suf- fered from headaches, my heart would pal[iitate violently at the bast e.tertion, and my appetite V as very fwkle. I tried doctors medicine and emulsions, but the treatment did not help nie. Then J started taking Dr. Williams' Pink I'ills and after taking seven or eight biixcs I was stronger than ever before. 1 feel ,that 1 owe my present gwxl health to Dr. Wil- liams' Pink I'ills. and gratefully recommend them to other ailing girls." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or will bo fcnt b^- mail at 50 cents a b<i.< or six bo.Kes for $i.'.50 by The Dr. Wil- Inms' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. SELPiSII.

It will astonish most people to l-C; told that the British Oovern- nicnt, in additioii to being a nmkcr of laws, is the greatest tailor in the world. The Army Clothing Factory nr, Pimlico is the biggest tailor's shop in England. Last year Tommy Atkins's tailor's bill amounted to JC355,375. During the liocr War the clothing of the Army cost near- ly £5,000,000, says London Tit-f$its. Trousers arc the most costly item ip the soldier's wardrobe, and for their nether garments last year the nation had to pay no less a sum than £73,278. And this recalls the fact that it is less than ninety years since the British Army first put on its trousersâ€" that the Briti;;h infan- try soldier, that is to say, first sub- stituted trousers for the old-fash- ioned knee brecclies. NEW RULES FOR TOMMY. From April 1st last the British soldier was clothed on an entirely different system to what has pre- vailed for so many years, and the innovation will probably be a great deal more satisfactory to the rank and file. Every man will receive bis free outfit on enlistment as heretofore, but will be required to provide his per.sonal clothing and necessaries out of an allowance cre- <lited to him quarterly in advance. Ii stead of his present kit allowance < i twopence a day after si.x months' service, he will receive at the end of his first year a lump sum equiva- lent to the accumulated twxipences in addition to the separate cloth- ing allowance. The maintenance of kit and cloth- inj? will be a matter between the soldier and his commanding officer. It is intended that the present ar- bitrary periods of wear allotted to each garment shall be abolished ; under the old system a pair of trou- sers might be serviceable to-day and "time-expired" to-morrow. ONE MILLION A YEAR. Even in the piping times ot peace Tommy Atkins's tailor's bill would make a millionaire poor in a year. ]{oughly speaking, it costs £1,000,- 000 ever year to clothe the British Army. The headgear of the troops, embracing everything from a sim- ple cap to a bearskin helmet, ex- hausts nearly £50,000, and boots, shoes, and leggings, which are pur- ehase<l ready-made, cost nearly £'2.;jO,000. The cost of a soldier's uniform varies from just over £lO 10s. to less than £3, according to the regiment in which he may be serving. For instance, the annual taiUjr's bill for the rank an<l file in the Life (Juards is just over £7, v.hile in the infanty of the lino ic IS under £3. TESTING THE CLOTH. At the Army Clothing Depart- ment at Pimlico many hundreds of workers, chiefly women and girls, are employed in turning out soldi- ers' suits. Apart from the mere making of the clothes the most im- fxirtant part <>i the work is the in- s^pection of the raw material brought in to be worked up, and of the finished articles which are de- livered at the factory to be distri- buted. Not a yard of cloth is ac- eefited (\n trust. Every piece is subjected to several tests to prove its quality. There are machines on uliieh snmll pieces are broken to ascertain the strength (jf the ma- terial; an<l other apjiaratus for testing the pernmnence of the. color. Ivich web of cloth is also unrolled before an e.xnininer, who goes i.ver every yar<I with I lie utmost care to seek out any flaws which may exist. No shod<ly is accepted, and the slightest defects <ii- deviations fr<mi pattern or specification are regar<l- ed as ample justilication for the re- jfction <if the piece. When it has been s\ibmitted to all the tests, however, and found satisfactory, it 's stamped on every square yard with the official mark and passed < I. to the cutters. TWO THOUSAND SUITS A DAY Thus throughoui the building the wf>rk of (â- xamination goes on along- side that of manufacture, so that Tommy may not only be amply but well clad. The work is really tail- oring, however; that is to say, its productive side is mainly engaged in making coats and trousers for the soldiers, and of these, working the normal day, 2,000 complete i-uits can be turned out. The other articles are distributed among those v.lio accept .\rniy contracts. The boots come from Northamp- tiin and Kettering chiefly, but not <.iio pair is accepted till they have li<en examined by an expert, who in held pers»)nally responsible for the quality of the articles. (Jlovea are also made outside, and some uf them, such as the buckskin i;l(ivp8 of the crack regiments, are made in the historic town of WoikI- stock. The shirts are cut and sent ut to he made up, and the hose luid other w<.rsted goiKJs are partly Made by poor Irishwomen who <!;! lend on home industries for the augmentation of their meagre stan- dard of living. The Department deals with amaz- ing quantities of material. The stocks are never allowed to run low and it is always possible at a mo- ment's notice to equip 16,000 to 20,000 men with the articles in hand. But the productive capacity of the establishment is very great, and a week's work would represent the provision of clothing and kit for 12,000 men. TEACHING in STORIES. How an EngliNh Teacher DroTC Home u Moral Lesson. The simple manner in which a moral lesson can be conveyed to the mind of a child was delightfully de- monstrated recently at the house of Mrs. Eric Hambro, London, Eng land. The children sat round a slightly raised platform with their backs to the audience. Mr. Gould, with the aid of a blackboard, com- nicnced straightway to take them into his confidence. "I am going to draw a map," said Mr. Gould, with a smile; "and I wonder if you can name the country â€" I wonder:" It was a crude outline, but thi' teen hands went up simultaneously. "India!" came a chorus of tti") voices. "And the religion of the people?" "They are Mahometans." And there and then he told a story <if Jelal, the Mahometan teacher, who bowed acknowledgment to a street child that had bowed to him. "Now, what trait had the greit Iclal displajcd in bowing to t'lnt child?" Tliirteen children maof thirteen guesses, but the wo' I thai expressed the 'situation was not named. "Never mind," said M. Gould; "it will occur to you pro sently," and with charming tact he commenced to relate a story ot a gentleman who, while traveling in r. Parisian railway carriage with a number of miners, was asked if he obiected to their smoking, ilo re- plied in the negative, although fit' feriiig from a bronchial afferttor.. "Any way, the miners put away their pipes,'' the story-teller pri ceeded. "Now, what had they shown'!" "Respect," came the an- swer in a flash. Then back the children were taken to India and the story of Jelal. They saw the point, and so at the end of twelve minutes a great lesson had been taught in the simplest of ways. So by story-telling Mr. Goui'l built up "a golden ladder" of rf spect â€" respect to. a child an inva- lid, a teacher, other nations, other religions and to animals. .* 'Tis a Marvellous Thing.â€" When the cures effected by Dr. Thoma^' Kclectric Oil aro con.sidercd, the Epeedy and permanent relief it has brought to the suffering whercvtr it has been used, it must ba re- garded as a jnarveUous thing that so potent a medicine should result from the si.x simple ingredient' which enter into its composition. .\ trial will convince the most skep- tical of its healing virtues.

The most ancient walls of Baby- lon were constructed of sun-burnt brick, scarcely distinguishable from the closely packed earth, and some idea can be obtained of the extreme difficulty of the work of excavation. The oldest Babylonian houses which have been uncovered themselves rest on rubbish heaps and ruins, i?ut deeper diggings is impossible owing to the fact that water level has been reached. The Euphrates channel has silted up several met- res during the past 5,000 years, and the primeval dwellings are now be- low it. While we were standing at tho bottom of one of these pits a workman struck out with his pick the little heap of ornaments, a cou- ple of copper bracelets and tho beads of a necklace that had been worn by some Babylonian woman in the third millenium before Christ, and were restored at last to the light of the 8un.~ « A BOY'S HOLIDAYS. The ardent controversy which has been waging in Engl^ind and -Vmcrica concerning the best way to dispose of school boys in the long summer vacation has prompt- ed the Grand Trunk Railway Sys- tem to issue a Epecia! publicati<;n giving suggestions and practical hints to parents, as to what to do with the pu'blic and preparatory school boy during the months of July and August. The vacation camp is one of the solutions and the publication entitled, "What i sliall a Boy do with his 'Vacation" j thoroughly covers the gr<mnd and I solves the problem of the beit way j for a schoolboy to enjoy his holi- ; days.

A ccKle of hand signals, which appears to be something similar to tho "tic-tac" operations of the racecourse tout, has been adoptetl by the Edinburgh Fire Brigade It is supposed to be the only brig- ade kO be in posaossion ot such a system. The uses are apparent when a fireman finds himself iso- lated in the upper part of, say a tall tenement. Leaning out of the win- dow he could signal to hia collea- gues in the sti-eet that the fire- escape was required, or that an- other line of hos«> should be brought into use. Then, again, a fireman posted on the root could signal be- low that another steamer should be telephoned for, or, perhaps, a B*ic- ond hose-tender, under circura- stanmes when the loudest shout would be without avail.
