I consulted a specialist, who told me that. the trouble had developed into Bright‘s disease and that I was incurable. ’ I had dwindled to a mere shadow, and suffered from pain in the back, and often a ditl‘tculty in breathing. Insom- nia next came to add to my tortures and l passed dreary, sleepless nights. and felt that I had not long to live. In this dispairing condition my husband 'urged me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink This, and to please him I began to take llhem. After using several boxes I tell; the pills were helping me and I contin- ued taking them unlit i had used some twenty boxes, when I was again restor- ‘ed to perfect health. and every symp- tom of the trouble had disappeared.

They come in exceptionally handy when extra cooking and serving have to be done. The following is a. good hint for ty- ing Shoelaces so that they shall not come loose. Proceed in exactly the same way as if you were tying an or- dinary how. but pass the right hand loop through the knot before drawing it up, and give a steady pull on both loops.

But here gossip has placed the foundation of the laconic remark on the wrong preson. for, as a matter of fact. it was not Sir Charles Napier who composed that, famous despatch, but Mr. “Punch.” who wrote as a jest. Nevertheless. it remains as an extremely clever and telling piece of work of the kind we are dealing with. In this category. too, we must in- clude Thomas Carlyle’s notable reply to a devoted admirer, who wrote asking it had any objection to standing on his au- tograph as a present to the said admir- er. Carlyle was equal to the occasion. He just wrote down on a sheet of note- paper the words. “Yes! Yours truly, T. Carlyle." It was left for the admirer to decipher the meaning at his will, but doubtless he was satisfied when he saw the signature. whatever the writer meant him to understand. To describe a great naval battle in about a score of words is surely given to few famous combatants. Yet this is what Captain Walton did when he had scattered the Spanish fleet near the Straits of Messina. His despatch to the British Government was as follows: “Have taken or destroyed all Spanish vessels which were upon the coast: num- ber and description as per margin.â€"G. Walton." There is a whole page of naval war- fare sometimes in a daily newspaper. af- ter a battle such as that which Togo recently fought. which. notwithstanding. does not tell one-half so much of what was me actual result of lho fight as this laconic statement of Captain Walton’s does about the abattle off Messina. was another famous man who never wasted words.

She regarded the doctor with some hauteur because he did not rise and make a great, fuss of her when she entered his surgery.

He looked her in the Law and answered “Poultice it!"â€"then at once resumed his writing.

The only remedy is to give it for some days a few drops of an oil extracted from the titturupitta, a kind of sparrow. 'l‘igers’ claws are in great demand with the common people. One or two claws may be worn near the loins, but should one possess a larger number the fortunate owner makes a garland of them and wears them around his neck. Deer’s horn, ground into a fine paste, is an excellent balm for pains and swel- lings. A more curious use is found for the same substance; it, is sometimes made into a powder which is suposed to aid the growth of the stunted wo- man. The joints taken from the long and slender tail of the black scorpion are supposed to keep illness at. arm‘s distance when children wear them rn their waist thread; , As soon as a person has been bitten by a cobra a snake charmer is sent for who lures the ‘same or another cobra whose fangs have not been drawn to the vicinity of the victim and causes it to bite him at as nearly as possible THE SAME SPOT AS BEFORE.

The origin of color in anything has always provided scientists with an inter- esting studyâ€"the origin of color in hu- man skin in particular. There are between the cuticles of the skin certain pigments whichgwhen act- ed upon by light rays, produce different tints. What those tints will be depends upon the angle at which the rays of the sun fall upon the pigments. At the equator the rays are about vertical; at the poles they slant at an angle un- known in the tropics, and the chemical effects of the different kinds of rays up- on the pigmenls of the skin vary con- siderably. Thus we get a large number of tints of the skin. from the white to the yellow, yellow to red, and red to black. many intermediate shades being peculiar to certain latitudes. or, slightly modified of its ancestors. even when the child has been borne and reared in a strange part of the world. Thus, if a colony of negroes and ne- gresses settled in Britain, their descen- dants would become paler with each generation, until eventually there would be no trace whatever of the original color. Whites settling in the tropics would be affected in a similar way, the color gradually deepening with each gen- eration. f » The pigments themselves change through generations of exposure to [116 sun-rays of one particular latitude, so that the skin of a child assumes the col- Do British warships i‘breed consump- tion?
