“I like to visit there. They have three lovely children.” “I’d raiher visit at a place where the): have a: lovely cook.” Then you will find some ordinary people, rough, perhaps, on the ex- terior, and even sometimes seem- ingly untroubled by high ideals, about whom their fellow beings ga- ther like iron filings to a, magnet, Some of the most disagreeable people in the world are prodigious reservoirs of emotional verse and phrase on brotherhood and the love of our fellow beings. But the fel- low being sentiment was not made to embrace their servants and neighbors who would be quite hap- py if one of such angelic ideals would take an angelic habitation permanently. BREAD AND HANDOUTS. Some of the most selfish people in this world take perfect delight in dreams of the federation of the nations of the world, when all the peoples shall love one another, all the flags be furled and the cannon be converted into flower pots. But that universal fraternity would be quite a different matter if it beâ€" came practical and affected the in- terest on government bonds or the price of furs and feathers. It is rwlly an easy matter to learn to love the ideal and fictitious man. the creature of the poet's imagination. He makes no assaults on your nerves, olfactory or others, and when you get tired of him you can just shut your mind to him; he will not shiver on your mental doorstep nor vex your philosophic soul with querulous intimations on “He that loveth his brother abid- eth in the light.”â€"John ii,, 10. There are some people who make brave professions of intense love for all the human race with whom it is nevertheless exceedingly diffi- cult for individual representatives of the race to live. It is always an easier matter to be filled with a lofty sentiment of universal frater- nity than it is to exhibit even or- dinary atieuce with the man who stands geside you. That love for man which is the best evidence of one's love for the Most High may be a. much simpler and a much rarer quality than we sometimes think. It, is by no means certain that it is all summed up and expressed in foreign and home missionary offerings or even in re- form and charity organizations or that it is the exclusive property of those who write and sing about the brotherhood of man.

He has reported the prevalence of a. deplorable lack of discipline in the dock yards, where the workmen are pervaded with the evil spirit; of Socialism. Waste and extrav- agance have been the characteris- tics of the administration, and. as an instance of this, he found that the new sub-marine, Z, had been entirely forgotten for three years in a. corner of a. dock yard. M. Picard’s investigations have revealed a. state of anarchy in the administration of the navy. He has discovered that fortunes have been corruptly made by private indi- viduals out of the outlay on the navy, and that that there has been an utter want of continuity in naval policy. M. Caillaux has expressed aston- ishment at the demand for so large a sum, but will not refuse it, pro- vided it can be shown to be required by the interests of national secur- ity. He insists, however, than any special expenditure must be incor- porated in the budget. Though officially it is stated that there is no divergence of opinion on naval affairs among Ministers, it is generâ€" ally understood that all the Cabinet are not agreed as to the necessity of spending a. vast sum of money on the fleet, and that Ministers are apprehensive as to the attitude of Parliament. The real belief is that France and Russia are working in mutual agreement to reconstruct their navies. New French Minister Demands Drastic Measures. M. Picard, the new non-political French Minister of Marine, who was specially appointed to the con- trol of the navy on the personal initiative of M. Clemenceau, has submitted to M. Caillaux, Minister of Finance, a'proposal to spend the sum of $160,000,000 over and above the ordinary estimates on the Fuench navy. The expenditure would be spread over a period if five years, A man learns to love books by reading and songs by singing, but the greatest of all loves. the love of humanity, of lives, is learned just by living with people, by takâ€" ing time to find out what is in them, by stopping long enough in our mad business of making a. living to realize that the best things of life lie in the love and life of others. While we are seeking to save re- ligion from evaporation in senti- ment shall we not seek to save f‘aâ€" ternity from the same fate? Bl")- therhood means many a hard les- son, means doing many a difiic -lt thing, means paying a, big price But it means finding a great re- ward, it means the discovery of humanity. It means learning to live with other people and so find- ing the greatest wealth in the world, that which lies in human hearts and minds. to whom they cling in times of trouble like limpets to a. rock. They may have heard quite nothing of poetry on brotherhood; they are sin_1ply brothers, that’g all. in people; they like use for our own sakes; they set their hearts on the souls of men, the real self in each of us. They get along with the ho- bo because they see through his rags and with the king because they do no}: see his regalia. The trouble with many of us is that when we talk about brother hood we mean we would take all men into our family if they would acquire our tastes and habits When we look at the other man we are thinking how unlike he is to what we are and therefore to what he ought to be. We miss the man himself because we cannot see through his conditions and clothes aim ly brothers, that’s all. T re are others who seem, as we say, to have a, faculty for getâ€" ting along with 8.11 kinds of folk; they make friends and they hold them. They are found amongst all kinds of people and in all walks of life, but they are the cement of so- ciety everywhere. They are not often brilliant and they are never burdened by theories of social im- provement, but they are just bro- ther“, making us all a family.

Sold by all medicine dCEIEtS or by mail at 50 cents a. box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The gentleman, very much struck by file man’s laziness, said: pain and swelling. Instead of g3: ting better the trouble increased and I then consulted a. doctor who pronounced it articular rheuma- tism, and treated me for this trou- ble. Instead of getting better the pain and the swelling became worse until I was hardly able to hobhle about the house. On rising in thc morning I was unable to bear my weight, except with extreme pain. Having tried so much medicine “ithout benefit I began to think 1 was doomed to be a. cripple. One day a cousin advised me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. She said, ‘I take them every spring as a tonic for my blood, and they make a. new person of me.’ After some persuasion I decided to try them. I had taken three or {our boxes before I noticed any change, and then it seemed my ankles were less painful. By the time I had used a few more boxes there was a. wonderful improvement in my con dition. Not only did my ankles get well, but I felt like a different woman and had not been as well in years. In speaking of this to a doctor afterward he said that no doubt Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pill: had enriched the blood thus drivâ€" ing out the painful disease.” Mrs. S.

Cold, damp weather brings on the twinges and pains of rheuma- tism, but is not the real cause of the complaint. The trouble is root- ed in the blood and can only be cured by enriching the blood and driving the poisonous acid out of the system.

The valve in the box of a pump prevents the water we have drawn up from returning to the well so that the next movement of the pump handhe will send it out of the spout. In the case of the heart, says the London Illustrated News, we have two sets of valves, whose object it is to prevent blood, pumped out from each side of the heart, from returning into the heart’s cavities. There are certain beautiful flap valves which fall back to let blood enter but which float up on the blood, meet in the middle and form a perfect temporary partition, preâ€" venting reflux. These flaps are pro- vided with cords which allow of their meeting together, and these cords, attached to the wall of the heart, pull. down against the force of the blood which would cause them to float up too far, and so the fluid must spass away by THE PROPER CHANNEL. Again we have pocketlike valves, placed around the great blood ves- sels into which blood passes from the heart. Imagine three pockets set in a. circle round the entrance to the vessel. The mouths of the pockets open away from the heart. They allow blood easily to pass to them, but when the tendency to back flow occurs the pockets fill; tensely and their edges meet, and so again there is found a, tempor- ary barrier against regurgitation. If we include domestic service in the list of achievements then the life of an ant or bee community will supply us with examples of or- dered organization, such as might well form an ideal to humanity it- self.

Even the ventilation of these homes is duly provided for, we might add, in a far more perfect fashion than is seen in man’s own dwelling places.

The teredo is a boring shellfish, which burrows into wood by means of the two shells which envelop its head extremity. It lines its burrow with a. limy secretion, and it was this practice which is said to have given Brunel the idea. of protecting his big burrow from collapse by tubing it as he worked The field here is very wide, for animals and plants have learned by experience and by outward condi- tions acting on them to adopt their structure to meet the exigencies of their lives. It was said that Brunel adopted the plan of the teredo or ship worm in his mode of constructing the original Thames tunnel. The action of the valves of the heart was the original of the idea now in use in valves everywhere, from those of a. pump to those of a. steam engine. Their purpose is to regulate the flow of fluids or vapors in particular directions and to prevent back flow or regurgitaâ€" tion.

Among the shellfish we find the cockle using its foot as a leaping pole. The razor shell or solen em- ploys its foot as an excavating machine, whereby it burrows swift- ly into the sand on the approach of danger. The mussel is a. spin- ner, for its foot makes the tough, horny threads with which it moors itself to rocks and stones. The trouble may be due to slug- gishness of the liver, derangements of the bowels, enlargement of the pancreas, or it may be due to the stomach itself.
