WORK AND WORRY WEAKEN WOMEN Few Health and Strength Obtained by the Use of Dr. Williams 1 Pink Pills. Tf f m-pi,^ to tell a hard-work- ing woman to take life easily and not to worry. Every woman at the head of a home; every girl in offi- ces, shops and factories-, is subject to more or les worry. These- can- not be avoided. But it is the duty of every woman and every girl to cave her strength as much as possi- ble and to build up her system tc meet any unusual demands. Her future health depends upon it. To guard against a breakdown in health the blood must be kept rich, red and pure. Nothing can keep the blood in this condition BO well as Dr. William*' Pink Pills. They strengthen the nerves, restore the appetite, bring the glow of health to pallid cheeks, and renewed en- ergy to listless people. Women cannot always rest when they should, but they can keep their strength and keep disease away by the occasional use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Or, if a breakdown has eome unexpectedly they can obtain tew health through this same .Medicine. Mrs. M. Thomas, River street, Toronto, says: "For several years I was almost a constant in- valid, unable to do my housework and spending much of my time in bed My nerves seemed worn out and I was so run down that all my friends thought I was in a hopeless decline. I was as pale as a oorpee ; 1 Ma*o bloodless that if I cut my tinner it would not bleed ; my limbs were swollen far beyond their usual size. At the least exertion mv heart would palpitate violently, and I frequently had fainting spells.. I was under treatment by good doctors, but it did me no good. Then one day my husband brought home some Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I began taking them. They seemed to go to the root of the trouble, and in the course of a fow weeks the improve- ment they were making was quite plain. Grndually as I continued taking the Pills the swelling of my Kinbs disappeared ; the weak spells came lets and lees frequently ; my appetite greatly improved, and finally I was completely cured and able to do my housework with ease. Later, my daughter Elma seemed to be troubled with anaemia, and we gave her the Pill* with the same good results."

While the whale is regarded as the largest of creature* that haunt the sea, there are some sharks that can be compared in size with the former animals. These giant sharks, however, are very rare, and ar4 known under the name of the great whale shark and the bask- ing shark. The former, which at- tains a length of fifty *eet, is fmmd off the coast of India, Peru, and Lower California. The latter's most favorite haunt is the Arctic Ocean ; but it is also found near the great whale shark. These monsters, curi- ously enough, are quite harmless. Their teeth are very small, and they feed on tiny matter that floats on the surface of the sea. This matter the fish strains through its enormous gill rakers.

" I got a little Cuticura Ointment End some Cuticura Soap. The first touch of Ointment seemed to relieve, and before the Cuticura Ointment WUA f nisbed I was cured.

A wonderful span of life was that of John Pipher, of 16 Archer street, Toronto, whose death occurred last week. During his 103 years Canada has grown from a series of little- valued colonies to a united nation. Many of the greatest inventions have been achieved. There have been half a dozen British sover- eigns. Three generations have come and gone. A few events might be recalled to illustrate the happen- ings of this one lifetime. Although further importation of slaves into Upper Canada had been forbidden in 1793, slavery still ex- isted in York (Toronto) until two years after John Pipher was born. He was three years old when the war of 1812 took place; twenty-eight when the insurrection of 1837 took place. He remembered it well. He wae thirty-two when respon- sible government was achieved, with the union of Upper and Lower Canada. He was far past the ordinary "prime of life" a man of 58 at Confederation. He had lived under George III., the Regency, George IV., William IV., Victoria, Edward VII., George V. There were 25 Governors of Can- ada and Governors-General of the Dominion during his lifetime. The Accommodation, first steamer to navigate the St. Lawrence, made the journey from Montreal to Que- bec, three days being consumed in making the down-trip of 180 miles. At that time the only canals in Canada were the Coteau du Lac, Cascades, and Sault Ste. Marie. John Pipher was a lad of sixteen when George Stephenaon completed the first railway in England. He was twcntyseven when the first railway was opened in Canada, namely, the Champion and St. Law- rence. A Canadian-built vessel, the Roy- al William, had the distinction of being the first in the world to cross the Atlantic by steam power alone. But Pipher wae a man of twenty- four when that occurred. Up to the date of his birth, there had been only fifteen newspapers established in Canada. St. John, N.B., was the only in- corporated city. There were probably six hundred souls in York (Toronto), and 80,000 white in Upper Canada. The first Canadian hank note was not issued until Pipher was eight years old. He was thirty-eight when the first telegraph wires were ytrungjn Can- ada ; sixty-eight almost at the al- lotted plan when Alexander Gra- ham Bell invented the telephone. Revive the Jaded Condition.

German chemiste are reported to have succeeded in utilizing fibrous animal refuse such as the flesh of dea/d horses for making artificial silk. Treatment with acids disinte- grates the flesh into its ultimate fibres, and these are given a silky appearance, with great durability, by a kind of tanning process. The threads produced greatly reeerahJ* those of ib/ wild silkworm, ar about two inches kxng. They may be vulcanized like true silk, and can be made airtight and water- tight by immersion for a coupk of how rs in a caoutchouc bath under a pressure of four atmospheres. The material seems to promise some- thing cheaper than silk for balloon envelopes, insulation, etc., though attempts to spin the fibres into thread* have not yet been success- ful. JUMBLE OP ALL THE AGES. Cairo a Mixture of the Antique and the Modern. What were my first impressions o Cairo? Perhaps I was rather di* appointed, or perhaps it wa mere, ly that I was feeling decidedly shaky as a result of a desperate passage from Liverpool, says a writer in the Christian Herald. A any rate it struck me at first thai the whole place wae frightfully mo- dern. The street cars, the hotels the carriages and automobiles, witl their ^fashionable English am American occupants, even the pe deatrian*, seemed prosiacally up-to- date. But this was an impression which did not last; for in the na- tive quarters of the city you ma; see Cairo to-day as it was a thou sand years ago. and even on the most fashionable thoroughfares yoi will frequently witness scenes which will carry you back into by-gone ages scenes which the dominan modern note merely serves to throw into strong relief. I have specially in mind the ol< water-sellers, with their ancien jars and goat-skins thrown over their backs. It is interesting to see these old fellows parading up an< down on the sidewalk, mingling with the up-to-date citizens of the preei,t day. The same contrast is noticeable out on the street. An automobile of the latest design is followed (more leisurely !) by camel mounted by an Arab of the desert. Below the waisrt his bodj sways to and fro in rhythmic ac cord with the absolutely noiseless tread of the great clumsy animal And the man himself gazes silently and steadily straight ahead, look ing neither to the right hand nor to the left, as if there was nothing in front of him but limitless miles o r sand. One cannot fail to be im pressed by this striking blend o: ancient and modern. HARD TO SEE. Even When the Facts are Plain. It is curious how people will re fuse to believe what one can clearly see. Tell the average man or woman that the slow but cumulative poi so no us effect of caffein the alka- loid in tea and coffee tends to weaken the heart, upset the ner vous system and cause indigestion and they may laugh at you if they don't know the facts. Prove it by science or by practi- cal demonstration in the recovery of tea and coffee drinkers from the above conditions, and a large; per cent, of the human family wil' shrug their shoulders, take some drugs and keep on drinking tea or coffee. "Coffee never agreed with me nor with several members of our house- hold," writes a lady. "It ener vates, depresses and creates a feel- ing of langor and heaviness. It wan only by leaving off coffee and using Postum that we discovered the cause and way out of these ills. "The only reason, I am sure, why Ptum is not used altogether to the exclusion of ordinary coffee is, many persons do not know and do not seem willing to learn the facts and how to prepare this nutritious beverage. There's only one way according to directions boil it fully 15 minutes. Then it is delicious." Name given bv Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

Little Jonas was the son of pen- urious parents, and the son bade fair to outdo them in frugality a fact that worked extreme hardship upon Bobby Graves, his seatmate. Bobby came home one night look- ing so depressed that hii mother asked the cause of his trouble. "It's that Jone Peterbo!" burst out Bobby. "He's jut about the meanest thing! He eats my apple* all up, and he never gives me eren a bite offen his, an' nay apples are good an' hi* ain't very !

Some Curious Superstition.* Are Indulged In. In Spain th wedding is spoiled if one of the guests appears entirely in black, or if ihe bride looks into a mirror after orange blossoms and veil are fast in her headdress. When a person's hair ends gplit, it : taken by the superstitious for a sign that she is either a witch or ha been bewitched. As blond hair splits more readily than dark hair, all witches, spirits and sorceresses have blond or red hair, according to popular belief. Likewise, ac- cording tx> the standard of art. On the marriage eve there is oe> tn much good-natured rivalry be- tween the groom and the bride in the Slav countries as to who shall blow out the candle, for the person who does will be "first to die." It is impossible to trace the origin of this superstition, yet it prevail* in aristocratic society as well as in the peasant's hut. even as like thin, that "to insure the life and health of the children" the woman must oconpv the right side of the bed. In addition, she must not smoke before her forty-fifth year. There is a superstition in this country and many othera against burning a broom. The bud of birch broom is used in Southern Germany as a preventive against erysipelas. These buds, a piece of yellow wax and some other articles are enclosed in a pink silk bag, scoured with red silk and worn on the back of the ne<k. The person must change his shirt every Friday. Some persons have periodical at- tacks of Canadian cholera, dysen- tery or diarrhoea, and have to ue great precautions to avoid the dis- ease. Change of water, cooking, and green fruit, is sure to bring on the attacks. To such persons we would recommend Dr. J. D. Kel- logg's Dysentery Cordial as being the best medicine in the market for all summer complaints. If a few drops are taken in water when the symptoms are noticed no further trouble will be experienced. THE KINDER FATE. She "It was dreadful. He rock- ed the boat and she \vaa drowned."

The little girl was having a great deal of trouble pronouncing Home of the words she met with. "Vine- gar" had given her the moat trou- | ble, and she wag duly grieved to I know the village was being enter- j tained by her efforts in this direc- 1 tion. She was one day sent to the store with the vinegar-jug, to get it filled, and had no intention of amusing the people who were gathered in the store. So she handed the jug to the clerk with : "Smell the mouth of it and give me a quart." A WONDERFUL DI8COTERY. An eminent scientist, the other day, gave his opinion that the most wonderful discovery of recent years was the discovery of Zam-Buk. Just think ! As eoon as a single thin layer of Zam-Buk is applied to a wound or a sore, such injur/ is in- sured against blood poison ! Not one species of microbe has been found that Zam-Buk does not kill 1 Then again. As soon as Zain-Buk is applied to a sore, or a cut, or to ekin disease, it stops the smarting. That is why children are such friende of Zam-Buk. Again. As soon as Zam-Buk is applied to a wound or to a diseased part, the cells beneath the skin's surface are so stimulated that new healthy tissue is quickly formed. This is why Zam-Buk cures are per- manent. Only the other day Mr. Marsh, of 101 Delorimier Ave., Montreal, called upon the Zam-Buk Company and told them that for over twen- ty-five years he h;id been a, martyr i to eczema. His hands were at one time eo covered with sores that he had to sleep in gloves. Four years I ago Zam-Buk was introduced to ' him, and in a few montjia it cured j him. To-day over three years af- ; tor his cure of a disease he had for , twenty-five years he is still cured, | and has had no trace of any return of the eczema !
