THE BEST- — TONIC. As winter passes away it leaves many people feeling weak, depressed and easily tired. This means that the blood needs attention and sensible people always take a tonic at this time of year. Purgatives are not the right medicine they weaken instead of strengthening. Dr. Williams ? Pink Pills for Pale People are the best tonic medicine in the world and do not act on the bowels. They stimulate the appetite, enrich the blood, strengthen the nerves and make people feel brightt active and strong. t /No one Is better able to speak of this fact than Miss Hazel Snider, <* charming young woman of Arlington, Ind. To-day she has rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes and a plump form, which prove that she Is in good health. A year ago Miss Snider was very thin, her cheeks pale, eyes sunken and dull. She was troubled with nervousness and general debility. She says: ‘•After several months’ treatment from the finally physician wo saw he could do no good. I was discouraged and did not know what to do. One day I read an Item in a paper of the wonderful curative qualities of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I tried the medicine, and when nearly through with the second box noticed a change for the better. After I had taken eight boxes I was cured, and have had no occasion to take any kind of medicine since. I owe much to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, probably my life, and I advise anyone suffering with troubles similar to mine, to take these pills.’ Miss Hazkx. Snideb.

BIGAMY,

If Not Polygamy, Once Authorised In Kurope. Among the early Teutonic tribes, as among all savage nations, polygamy was openly practiced. According to Herbert Spencer the Merovingian princes also had more than one wife. But so far as is known no civilized European government ever authorized the practice. In the thirty years’ war the Diet of Franconia, sitting at Nuremberg, passed the following remarkable law, “permitting each man to marry two wives, on account of the numerical superiority of the women.” Article 3of this law ran: “Any man is allowed to marry two wives, but husbands are advised that if the fate of two persons is Intrusted to them they must in turn behave with prudence and discretion, providing for them sufficiently and taking such measures as may prevent quarrels.” Herbert Spencer may consider the Diet which could pass such a law civilized. And they may have been, but to the casual observer it would seem that they were also to a certain extent insane.

A BRAVE COLONEL

Recommends Pe-ru-na as a Family Medicine. A Scientific Spring Medicine. Colonel Arthur L. Hamilton, of the Seventh Ohio Volunteers, 259 Goodale street, Columbus, Ohio, writes: “Besides having the merits of Pe-ru-na so

COLONEL HAMILTON, OF COLUMBUS, O.

fully demonstrated in my family, I have a number of friends who have taken it for catarrh and stomach trouble, and all unite in praising it As a remedy for catarrh I can fully recommend It.” Mrs. Hamilton, wife of the gallant Colonel, is an ardent friend of Pe-ru-na also. In a letter on the subject she writes: “I have been taking Pe-ru-na for some time, and I am enjoying better health now than I have for years. I attribute the change in my health to Pe-ru-na, and recommend this excellent catarrh remedy to every woman, believing it to be especially beneficial to them.” The spring-time is the most favorable time of the year to treat catarrh. There is so much less liability to take fresh

cold that the treatment is unimpeded. All old cases of chronic catarrh should begin immediately a course of, Pe-ru-na as directed in Dr. Hartman’s books on this disease. There are so many different phases and stages of catarrh .that one hardly knows when he has it A great

many people think they are suffering from something else and have tried many medicines in vain, when if they could realize that It is catarrh and take Pe-ru-na for it they would Improve promptly and soon recover entirely. There are no substitutes. Let no one persuade you there are other, catarrh remedies just as good. “Winter Catarrh” Is a book written by Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio. Sent free to any address.

State Railway System of Belgium.

The state railway system, of Belgium, is estimated as the most profitable commercial undertaking, both to the government and to the people, ever promulgated in Europe. It consists of 2,800 miles, of which 2,000 are government property. Its profits more than pay the entire interest on the Belgian national debt. The Belgian railways have been the making of the nation, as from a comparatively insignificant agricultural commonwealth it has lately developed into a humming bee hive of commercial activity. Other European governments own railways, although In no case has the experiment proved so successful as in Belgium. Germany, In addition to a large quantity of stock in the railway world, has created the North Sea canal, France, Holland and Russia are also largely Interested in their own railroads. Of purely departmental workings the British Post is by far the most profitable in Europe.

Not a Classic.

The Guards Band was playing out on the Windsor Castle terrace during dejeuner recently, and the Queen was so much struck by one pretty march tune that she desired one of the maids of honor to go and ascertain what it was called. The classic features of that high-born damsel were suffused with blushes as she returned and made answer: “ ‘Come Where the Booze Is Cheaper,’ Your Majesty.”

THE FAMILY LIFE.

Ways la Which Its Influence Mold the Character of the Young. The Indian boys and girls who are being educated in the school at Carlisle, Pa., spend the summer vacation on the neighboring farms, earning money by work in the field and house. On their return, in September, the smaller boys very naturally discussed their experiences. Many of them had been in the houses of Quakers, and began to joke good-humoredly at the “plain” , dress and language, when a little Navajo gave a shout, and rushing up to them, exclaimed: “Don’t thee dare to say anything against the Quakers! They are my friends! I’m a Quaker!” and he planted both his fists in the face of the last speaker. The same young convert to the faith of the Friends anxiously inquired on Sunday for the Quaker church, and finding that there was none, took bis stool into the yard and sat down on it for quiet meditation. The teachers of the Indian children say that this residence as Individuals in different families for part of the year is an unmistakable help to their civilization. They are brought under direct home influence, and even if the home be not a very good one, they learn the rodtine of domestic life, and the happiness which lies in affection, self-control and trifling, everyday acts of unselfishness. In a recent report of the managers of several orphan and foundling asylums in England, the fact was urged as of special significance that while the girls trained in these institutions made excellent housemaids or laundresses, they could not be trusted as nurses of children. The training in a large body could give them orderly habits, but left dormant their affections and their womanly, motherly instincts. So many girls are now pushing out of their homes to find a life in public that these facts have a significance that should not be overlooked. Among God’s purposes in placing men and women in families are the opportunities to be chlvalric and tender and strong that wait at the humble home hearth, which are found nowhere else in the world.

TWO AT A TIME.

How a Malay Woodcutter Bagged Big Tigers. An extraordinary shooting adventure Is recorded by A. L. Butler, of the State Museum, Selangor, Malaya, in the last number of the Bombay Natural History Society’s Journal. One day in last July a Malay woodcutter went out into the jungle to cut fuel, taking with him, on the off-chance of a shot at deer, an old single-barreled muzzle-loading gun, loaded with the rather unscientific charge of a bullet and four buckshot. Moving quietly through the jungle, he suddenly came upon a tiger feeding on the carcass of a sambhur, and, with touching confidence in his weapon, fired at a distance of twenty paces. The tiger rolled over, and, when the Malay cautiously approached, he found not one dead tiger, but two, the second having been hidden from the sportsman, though only a few feet distant from the animal he fired at. Mr. Butler, who made a post-mortem examination of the tigers after they had been skinned, found that in each case a single buckshot had gone to the heart. One had also an insignificant wound on the head from another pellet. “For a really appalling fluke,’’ as Mr. Butler says, “this achievement of the Malay woodcutter will be hard to beat.” It is certainly not a performance any sane white man will try to parallel, much less to eclipse.

Finest Riding School.

The finest military riding school In existence is In Moscow. It Is 560 feet long, 146 feet broad and 41 feet high, and, saving only the Midland terminus In London, its roof is the largest in the world unsupported by pillars. It is lavishly ornamented, but In every respect save size it is quite eclipsed by the subterranean riding school in Welbeck Abbey. This wonderful apartment, If it can be called such, Is 385 feet long, about 130 feet wide, and Its glass roof is nine feet higher than that of the Moscow School.

There Is No Telling.

Be sure not to let rheumatism stay in the system longer than you can get a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil to cure It. There Is no telling what part It may strike or how much misery It may give.

Use of Eggs.

Calico print works use 40,000,000 dozen eggs per year, wine clarifiers use 10,000,000 dozen, the photographers and other Industries use many millions, and these demands increase more rapidly than table demands. A new element is now introduced into a London fog by the weird toots of the motor cabs, which have become so general since last winter.
