NEHVODSJHILDBEN Are Often in the Early Stages of St. Vitns Dance They Need a Tonic to Strengthen the Weak Nerves and Restore Them to Natural Health Many a child has been called awkward, has been punished in school for not keeping still, or for dropping things, when the child is not really at fault, as the trouble ^6 really St. Vitus dance in its earlier stages. So common is this nervous disease in childhood that in some schools one-fifth of all the pupils have been found suffering from it in one form or another. Be- fore the presence- of the disease is betrayed there is usually a disturb- ance of the general health. The child shows listlessness and in- attention. Then it becomes rest- lees, and twitching of the muscles and jerking of th limbs and body follow. A remedy that cures St. Vitus dance and cures it so thor- oughly that no trace of the disease remains is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which make the new blood neces- ary to feed the starving nerves and gives them the nourishment they demand. Mrs. Hiram Barnhart, Scotia Junction, Ont., says: "About two years ago my oldest daughter, Ma- Del, then ten years of age, was stricken with St. Vitus dance. She could not keep still for half a min- ute, no matter how hard she tried. Her limbs would jerk and twitch and every little thing would start her crying. I gave her several bot- tles of medicine said to be good for the nerves, but instead of helping her she was steadily growing worse. Her voice would change so that we couJd hardly understand her, and her face became twitched until she did not look like the same child. I had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills myself when run down, and finally- decided to give her these. When she had taken two boxes I could notice an improvement, and by the time she had used five boxes she was fully cured. However, I was determined to make the cure per- manent if possible, and I gave her two boxes more, and I can truth- fully say that she has never had a symptom of the trouble since, and is now as bright and active as any child of her age. I heartily recom- mend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all mothers as the result of what they have done for my child and myself."

During the cool season, the tides on the coast of north Queensland offer peculiar facilities to the ob- server of the tropic sea. Mr. E. J. Banfield explains in hia recent book, "My Tropic Isle," that the lowest spring-tide in winter exposes far more of the reefs than the low- est tide in summer. In many places on this reef little secrets, well-kept throughout the rest of the year, are boldly proclaimed when the sea retreats. There is one, a fairly common anemone, a huge fellow of a rich cobalt color that opens out like a soup-plate ' with convoluted edges. Being an animal, it posse'sses senses that the rno&t highly specialized vegetable lacks. It has the power of waving its spikelets, and each of the thousands of truncated ten- tacles that cover the spikelets seems to possess independent action. Al- though all, no doubt, contribute to the sustenance of the animal, they rest from their labors, or assume great activity at will. It is natural to suppose that the diet of such an animal must be of microscopic proportions. The other day I happened on one that had seized a fibh abuut four inches long, and eeemed to be greedily sucking it to death. The fish was still aliw, and a.-> it looked up at me with a pathetic gleam in its watery eyes, I released it. It was very languid indeed, so feeble and faint that it could not swim away. Aid had come too late. The fish was the legitimate prey of the anemone. As the fish's hold on life was too fra- gile to be worth much, I put it close to the enemy again. I am certain that the anemone made an effort to reach it. There was a decided swing of one of the spikes in the direction of the fih, and marked agitation among the hundreds of minute tentacles. When I put the fish in tin- anemone, the latter grasped it immediately, and at the same moment the activity on the part of the tubes subsided with what I thought an air of satisfac- tion. Another giant anemone is friend- ly to fi*h at any rate, to one spe- cies. It is the landlord or host of one of the prettiest fish of all the wide, wide sea. It seems proud of its guest, and the fish is so depend- ent upon its host that it is quite helples apart from it. The good-fellowship between the dainty fish re-splendent in carmine and the great anemone is appar- ent. If you offer the finger to any part of the anemone, it seizes upon it; or if it is not in the mood for food, it curls and shrinks away. But the beautiful fish on the least alarm retires within the many folds of its host, and entirely disappears. The anemone makes no effort to seize or hold it. In a fcew minutes the fish will peep out again shyly at the intruder. It is almost as elu- sive as a sunbeam, and most diffi- cult to catch, for if the anemone is disturbed, it. contracts its folds, and shrinking away, offers inviola- ble sanctuary. If the fish is taken away from its host, it soon dies. It cannot live alone, although the anemone, as far as we can judge from outward appearances, endures the separation. Why should one anemone greed- ily seize and eat a fish, and an- other find pleasure in the compan- ionship of "the most beautiful and delicate of the tribe t Diamond Oo>vn for The younger members of the royal family are combining to make one pre- jsent to the Duchess ot Fife on her marriage, and this Is to take the form of a magnificent crown of diamonds.

All these will be required to pay, as it is proposed to tax every citizen who reaches the age of 45 without three children living, or who reached the age of 21. The tax will be $6 per child for each one under the minimum. Had Stomach Rumblings Distress Before Meals Was Seldom Free From That Weary, Droopy, Half- Dead Feeling.

And it is curious that persistent searching generally discovers that all pearls have doubles in size, luster and weight, It used to be said that the Empress Eugenie had received as gifts from Spain many pearls which had come from America and that American pearls wore susceptible to disease, if not actually Infected with it.

But many fine American pearls have been bought for the superb Par- isian court collection and some of the Indian princes at various times, and no stories have coma of troubles with them. Experts In pearls ridi- cule the idea of infection In or from American pearls, and say that If the pearls were properly and regularly exposed to the rays of the sun and kept in powdered pumice-stone or kiln-dried meal, they would be im- mune from sickness. The craze for matching or marry- ing pearls Is prevalent among the women of the harems In the east, large sums being obtainable for per- fect partners to those they already possess. A well-born Persian bride always tries to wear a necklet of matched pearls with one large slngje pearl in the center, and great is her joy if her husband chances to have a pearl which will niatch it.

The expense of holiday-makers, both foreign and provincial, in Paris, with 1,000,000 visitors; Lon- don, with 600.000; Berlin with 500,- 000, and Vienna, with 350,000. amount to at least $45,000,000, not counting the purchases of souvenirs and various minor articles.
