The blood becomes thin and watery or clogged with impurities. Some people have \eadaches and a feeling of langour; ythers are low spirited and nervâ€" Ius; still others have pimples and |kin eruptions; while some get up h the morning feeling just as tired )s when they went to bed. These re all spring symptoms that the lood is out of order, and that a [edicine is needed. Many people fish to purgative medicines in the pring. This is a mistake. You annot cure these troubles witha Iedicine that gallops through your *stem and leaves you weaker still. ’hat you need to give on health Ind strength in the spring is a pnic medicine that will enrich the llood and soothe the jangled lerves, and the one always reliable Ionic and bloodâ€"builder is Dr. Wil- iams’ Pink Pills. These Pills not Inly banish spring weaknesses and HS, but guard you against the nore serious ailments that follow, Iuch as anaemia, nervous debility, indigestion, rheumatism and other iiseases due to bad blood. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills actually make new, rich, red blood, which strength-ens every nerve, every or- gan and every part of the body, and makes weak, ailing people bright, happy and strong. Mrs. Jas. McDonald, Harcourt, N. B., says: “In my opinion Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills do all that is claimed for them. My system was run down, and I was so weak I could hardly do my Work, and taking care of my baby added to my difficulâ€" ties. I used a few boxes of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and they made me feel like my own self. I very icheerfully recommend the Pills to lall who are weak or ailing.” WAIERY Blllflll How to Get New Health and New Strength at This Season In an address before the Society of Illuminating Engineers in Lonâ€" don, Mr. A. P. Trotter said that the only practical production of “artificial daylight” with which he is acquainteu has been achieved by Mr. Cooper in the experiment room of the Brighton Railway. It is done by passing the rays from an acetyâ€" leneâ€"lamp through a brightâ€"blue screen. The resulting light gives a spectrum that cannot be distin- guished from that of daylight. It is not economical, because the screen absorbs half the light'ohthe lamp, but it solves the problem so far as effect on the eyes is concernâ€" ed. Where economy is no object, says Mr. Trotter, a similar result may be obtained without regard to the source of the light, provided that a suitable screen is used.

The king of Syria was warring against Israelâ€"The reign of Jehoram was continually inter- rupted by the marauding expedi- tions of the warlike king of Damas- cus, Ben-hadad. Often these camâ€" paigns were nothing more than forays, such as the one in which the little maiden who later served in the household of Naaman was captured. Then there would be short periods of peace. 9. Beware that thou pass-not such a placeâ€"How Elisha knew of the movements of the Syrians we are not told. It is enough that he was a. man of God. More than once (10) he was able to put the king of Israel on his guard, and thus foil the plottings of Ben-hadad, who doubtless purposed to Seize this royal person while he was hunting or on some other chance journey._ 12. Elisha . . . telleth the kingwof Israelâ€"Apparently it was common report among the attendants of the king. The prophet’s fame must have spread greatly with the notâ€" able cure of Naaman, and it would not be difficult or unnatural for the captaln’s friends to think of Elisha as reporting the most secret coun- sels of their king.

In like manner he shelters every believing soul.

The outward man may perâ€" ish, but the man himself, his soul, his inviolable. 18. Smite this people with blind- nessâ€"The word for “blindness” is very unusual, being found only here and in Gen. 19. 11. ,The con~ text seems to show that the Syrians were visited with a, kind of illusion, so that it was easy for Elisha to deceive them as to their where- abouts, and to hold them under the spell of this delusion until he had guided them into the very strongâ€" hold of their enemies. 21.

Elisha was unlike his great prede- cessor in the close connection which existed between his work and the political and military fortunes of his people. For the most part, this particular king, though greatly inâ€" debted to Elisha, was lacking in courtesy to him, and their relations at times were far from cordial. The desire of Je oram to smite these foes is doubt ess a true pictured: the manâ€"an ungenerous, tempior- izing person, who was ready to fawn on anyone who was able to do something to his advantage, but who would turn upon that one the next moment. 22. Wouldest thou smite ‘l~â€"It was probably in accord with the rude ethics of that time to act’as the king eagerly suggested. But Elisha was there as the prophet of God, and he showed that there was a better way to treat enemies. Even in those days it was a. rule of warfare that captives taken in battle should not be unmercifully smitten down. A sense ‘of justice, therefore, would suggest the sparing of these men taken by deception. Elisha’s com- mand to set bread and water before them is in the spirit of Him who centuries later said, “Love_ your enemies.’ ’ 23. The bands of Syria came no more.â€"Such merciful treatment made a, profound impression upon Benâ€"hadad, who temporarily (com~ pare next verse) abandoned his campaigns of plunder and rapine.

It is surprising to read the fol- lowing list of animals killed in a single year for use in Great Bri- tain only. says Fashionable Furs. The hare is killed by millions, and rabbits in countless numbers. Then there are the deerskins, mostly used for gloves, also the goats, of which India. sends close on 8,000,â€" 000 skins a year. Of kangaroo. now almost extinct, London uses about 120.000 a year. The supply of mole skins is said to come chiefly from Scotland, and as one mole catcher killed 12,080 moles in six months the process of extermination may advance quickly. With regard to the usefulness of moles, a farmer J. P. Clark, wrote to the Rev. J‘ G. Wood as follows: “An old mole catcher came and asked me if Iwould have the moles killed on my land. I said to him, ‘No, if I had no moles I should have no crops.’ He replied, ‘Sir, you are the first I have ever heard say that. but you are right.’ He then went on to say, ‘I killed moles once for a gentleman who had a field with a large hill. in it. The soil was sandy and full of inoles, and yet it used to grow nice~ crops. I killed the moles and it never grew anyâ€" thing to speak of afterward. The wireworms 'and cockchafer grubs used to eat the roots of everything that was sown, and the young plants died off.’ ” IN S‘URED AGAIN ST BANDITS. The Robbers Themselves Conducted the Business. The bandits of Manchuria and Mongolia have adopted a new way of acquiring at least a portion of the goods of the traveller.

As a provision against this dan- ger, says the Oriental Economic Review, an insurance bureau where one buys a banner, at a cost of 3.1)- out 1-500 of the‘value of the pro- perty to be insured, is established there. “We paid, our premium at the in- SI'Y':2.n"-:‘ bureau.” says a, Japanese tramth “secured a, red banner, THE DEMAND FOR FURS.
