Among other places where he has seen service was with Ivitch- ener in the Soudan, and he tells a very interesting story oi what is probably the most uovel musical "Instrument" that has yet been invented. As the battle of Omdurman the native wjmen followed up their troops, carrying sacks of stones for slings, babies on their backs, and other impediments. When the natives' attack was turned into a rout, and they faced about for the retreat, our Britishers were as- tonished to find Uie field covered with babies who liad been thrown away in the flight. Our local humorist, find- ing that there was a great variety ot musical tones displayed in their wails, picked out a suitable eight, set thera up on a plank, and, by a little encour- aging, obtaining a complete octave, from which, by gentle pushing, he got a variety of music.

ORIGINAL HUMAN ^EINGS IN CHINA, The western part of Sse-chiim P:'ov- iuce, China, might well be called the Museum of the Human Race, the as- yet-undiscovered happy huutiiig ground of the ethnologist and phy- siognomist. Here are to be found ihe surviving remains in the most heroic struggle for existence tiiat humanity has ever waged and who, for lack of a belter term, we call the â- "Tribesmen." The Chinese call thein "Tlio Eighteen .Nations, " but it is be- lieved that there are several times eighteen nations or tribes, each under it.s own king, council, or feudal lord, independent or semi-independent of each other and of the Chinese in whose borders they dwell. Among the tribes3ien are found representa- tives ot the black, yellow and white branches of the human family, and some of them, especially the dwarf peoples, are believed to be of very ancient origin. A MOTHER'S ADVICE Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she is always happy to recommend tUeiu to others. Her advice, given after a careful trial, can be readily followed with assured good results. The Tab- lets are a mild but thorough laxative which never fails to regulate tiie bow- els and sweeten the stomach. They always do gooil â€" they cannot possib- ly do harm even to the younge-;; babe. Concerning them Mrs. P. L;'- forest. St. Nazalre, Que., writes:-- â- For three months my baby was con- stipated and cried continually. (Jn the advice of a friend I .gave I'.im Baby^s Own Tablets and now at the age of five months he is perfectly well and weighs twenty pounds.

A year ago we had a fall-out which lasted some months, theu we made up friends again and intended, as was his wish, that as soon as his one sister was married we would get married too, and she has now- been married for a couple of months and lie has never mentioned anything about gettinsr married yet; also the last time I saw him he seemed rather distant to me, and seemingly he is rather tailing in love with my sister, who is not as old as I am. Now Miss Rosalind would you please tell me whether it would be proper for me to ask him what his inteiiiions were? or do you think it would be out of place'.' I have a good position, but I feel that 1 am wasting my time living like this, as I never know what minute he will turn back from ine when I would be left as I think he is the only man I could be happy with. During our fall-out I had several op- portunities to get married, but would not accept them as I felt I did not love them, but this young man I dearly love and to not win him w^ould break my heart. Would you please give me your advise how I could find out whether he really intends t.) marry me or not. as I am worried terribly. Hoping to see your advise soon. WORRIED ELIZAiB-ETH. Dear Elizabeth: â€" In the first place. Elizabeth dear, stop worrying! Don't you know that worrying will bring wrinkles and a strained anxious expression which is not at all becoming. And you would think to hear you talk that twenty- five were fifty-eight. Von are just reaching the age when a girl can make herself really entertaining and charm- ing and when she can look her bei.'. Y'ou just make up your mind to look so nice and act so prettily that your young man will sit up and take notice. After eight years of loving him and waiting his beck and call he is too sure of you altogether. Just make him a little axioiis about wheth- er you want him or not and he'll step lively. ROSALIND. lose a valuable friendship. You need friends, June, everybody does â€" but '.ve must take our friends as we /ind them, even as they must be sat- isfied with iw, as we are. People will not be distant if you are open hearted and friendly. They will be. If they imagine you sit in fatdgment. Do unto ot^icv^. V<M know, the old rule holds good always. Will you write to me again, very soon? ROSALIND. CHILE'S BUSINESS METHODS CHANGING. .\t present, according to a consular report, Chile is passing through a transition period as regard both adver- tising and merchandising. Methods borrowed from tiie United States are being adopted. Comfort for the Dyspeptic. â€" There is no ailment so harassing and ex- hausting as dyspepsia, which aijses from defective action of the stomach and liver, and the victim of it is t(j be pitied. Yet he can find ready relief in Parmelee's Vegetable Pills, a preparation that has established it- self bq years of effective use. There are pills that are widely advertised as the greatest ever compounded, but not one of theme can rank iu value with Parmelee's. Dear Rosalind: â€" 1 a:n twenty-one years of age. and would like to ask your advice con- cerning one or two questions which are puzzling me. I have Ijeen reading ".Vdvice to Girls' and am of the opinion that your advice is quite worth wiiile. I have been working in Toronto the past four years, and led quite a lone- ly life as I was too timid to make afiuaintances in the city. There was a vacancy in one of my home town offices, and 1 returned in .Tune to take the position as I would be once again at home anu in the midst of all my friends. It seemed to me ray mind and body were fairly craving for a jolly time, a* I had taken no part in frolics of any kind since going to the city, and in- tended having a .good time when i settled here. You will understand that \ have been deeply disappointed or I should not he writing for advice. Tlie girls and boys have their steady chums, and I do not care for the others, and perhaps 1 couldn't have them if I did. 1 do not know. I shall tell you my ideal if you care to listen and then you can tell me it I am too particular as mother says: I do not like any one that smokes, drinks, chews, or is indifferent to re- ligion. I cannot understand whether it is because 1 uo not keep the con- versation lively or what it is that keeps every one so distant, I also have the feeling that if 1 did confide in some one ot tnose whom I would like, they would only betray the con- fidence. 1 am judging them from wiiat they tell me of others. One more thing I do not know if I am too sensitive of hurting >)ther people's feelings, but I do not think one can be. Please advise me. i trust you will pardon me for tak- ing up so mucli of your time and hope to sen your lieipfui answer in '"Ad- vice to Girls." JUNE. Dear June: â€" I consider your letter very thorough- ly worth while; and it is the kind ot letter I love to get. When some- tliing is really causing one of â- iny ,?irls^ unhapplness I want to know about it and do what I can to help. Some times the help is just under- "tandiu;; and sympathising, someMmes it is of practical value. But always 1 am here to listen, and that is some- thing. You cannot always open your {heart to your family and friends, but you always can to me in a letter. It is easier for you when you know 1 will "not betray your confidence. Now to come back to June and her very real p:';)bleni. When you were away, June, you were lonely and a bit home- sick and your ideal of home and Its surroundings grew more beautiful and attractive every day. In fact, your ideal grew lovelier lluin the real thing and when you came back you suffered \ with disappointment. It is always that way, June. It will be necessary for you to ad- just yourself to make the best of things as you find them. It is possible and altogether likely that you have grown away from your home-town friends during your ab- sence; and they may just think that you do not care for them or their methods of amusement. Your Ideals cannot be too high: your aim too lofty: but my dear, do not let your ideal stand in the way of prac- tical living. .\djust It to meet the demands of every day happiness. For example: HUi)poslng a young man In town Is attracted towards you and wants to become a friend. He la a fine, manly chap. Intelligent and easy to like: lint he baa heard that you »inoltiftg. 1-Ie stays away, nai you A TONIC FOR THE NEBVES THE ONLY REAL NERVE TONIC IS A GOOD SUPPLY OF RICH, RED BLOOD. "If people only attend to their blood, instead of worrying them- selves 111," said an eminent nerve specialist, "wo doctors would not see our consultLig rooms crowded with nervous wrecks. More people suffer from worry than anything else." The sort of thing which the spec- ialist spoke of is the nervous run- down condition caused by overwork and the many anxieties of to-day. Sufferers find themselves tired, low- spirited and imable to keep their minds on anything. Any sudden noise hurts like a blow. They are full ot groundless fears, and do not sleep well at night. "Headaches and other nerve pains are part ot the inisefy. and it all comes from starved nerves. Doctoring the nerves with poison- sedatives is a terrible mistake. The only real nerve tonic is a good sup- ply of rich, red blood. Therefore to relieve nervousness and run-down lieaith Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be taken. These pills make new; rich blood, which .strengthens the spirits, and makes hitherto despon- dent people bright and cheerful. If you are at all "out of sorts"' yon should begin taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at -50 cents a box or six boxes for S-.jO from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.. Brockvllle, Ont. THE SPELL OF THE WITCH DOCTOR. In the twentieth ceuiiiry. accord- ing to the report of Forivard move- ment survey there are approximately 120 million people in Africa held In abject fear through the hraidreds ot thousands of witch doctors who alone are believed to have the power t* â- spelling out"" the evil spirits. The theory of the African native regard- ing disease is that an enemy casts a spell whicli enters the body, and it must either be spelled out or cast out. and this is accomplished by the use of such charms or prescriptions such as that cited which often kill "oefore they have the opportunity of proving their curative powers. 'The natives of South Africa, the survey finds, depend entirely on witch doc- tors and lierh doctors. l"or 8,'.^ mil- lion native people there are only twenty-three missionary doctors and nineteen nurses. Scattered among the millions, this little band of work- ers accomplishes wonders. But the sway of the witch doctors is practi- cally unaffected. ALCOHOL AS A MOTOR FUE.L.

Since asthma existed there has been no lack of much hearlded remedies, but they have proved short lived and worth- less. The ever-growing reputation of Dr. J. D.
