Ma As a. patriotic Scotsman, he re- calls with a, chuckle an incident which he witnessed in his early, days. A fellow Scotsman, who was working with him on the same sta- tion, produced a. set of bagpipes and commenced playing “The Highland Laddie.” The Indians and Esquimaux who gathered round were delighted with the per:- formance. and expressed their‘joy in their customary fashion.

Lord Strathcona is blessed with a, remarkable constitution, for, in spite of his advanced age, he is as well able to get through a. day's work as any man in his prime. It is several decades since he entered the employment of the Hudson Bay Company, and he has rendered v3.1- uable service to the country that brought him wealth. A very good plan to clean knives Without putting the handles in wa- ter is as follows: Have handy a jug or vessel with soda, water, and as soon as possible after the knives have been used stick the blades in the soda water, leaving the handles on the outsida. This will cleanse and quickly remove stain and rust. This is a good way to clean carâ€" pet.

When finished, all the dint and grease Spot‘s have disappeared and the car- pefltsr looks like new. -When the travelling bag becomes dirty, wash it‘ all over with tepid water and a, little soap. After it is dry, put a little oxalic acid in a cup of hot water and wipe the bag well with a, soft cloth dipped in acid. When dry, brush the bag with the white of an egg and it will look fresh and new. When the coalâ€"oil lamp has a tendency to smell badly, saturate the wick with good vinegar and allow it to dry perfectly before put- ting it into the lamp. It will never smell, no matter how small the flame. When washing new curtains you will generally find that they are full of lime. vA great deal'of trouble may be saved by soaking the curâ€" tains over-night in water, in which a little salt has been dissolved. The salt draws out the lime and makes the eurtains easy tohwagsh. If a cork is too large for a bottle in which you wish to use it, lay it on its side and with a, little board or ruler roll it under all the pres- sure you can put it.

If lemon and salt or javelle water do not remove it, no- thing will. When plants droop, try adding a teaspoonful of ammonia, to three quarts of water and water the plants fully. Any chance of tins rusting is prevented by placing them near the heat for a little while after they have been washed. Satin, after washing, will retain its gloss if a littleborax is put into the Iggstjinsing‘ water. A little turfientine put into the water for washing windows or mlr- rors is an excellent method.

Home Hints. r If you are weak or ailing begin to cure your-self today with the rich ,red blood Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills actually make. If you do not find the' Pills at your dealer’s send 50‘centas'for a, box or $2.50 for six boxes to the *Dr. Williams’ Medi- cine 00., Brockville, Ont, and they will be sent you by mail, post- paid. Mrs. William Jones, Crow Lake, Ont, says: “I feel that Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills saved my life. I was so badly run down that I could hardly drag myself around. I was so bloodless that I was as pale as a sheet, and you could almost see through my hands. In fact the doctor told me my blood had all turned to water. I was taking medicine constantly, but without benefit. My mother had so much faith in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills that she bought me two .boxes and urged me to take them. - How thankful I am that I followed her advice. Before these were gone I began to feel better, and I contin- ued using the Pill-s until I had taken five more boxes when I was again enjoying the blessing of perâ€" fect health, with a good color in my face, a good appetite, and I feel sure a, new lease of life. I will al- ways, you may be sure, be a. warm friend of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.” What women fail to realize is the fact that if the blood supply is kept rich and pure, the day of the com- ing of wrinkles and pallor, dull eyes and sharp headaches, is im- measurably post-poned. Dr. Wilâ€" liams’ Pink Pill-s are literally worth their weight in gold to growing girls and women of mature years. They fill the veins with the rich, red blood that brings brightness to the eye, the glow of health to sal- low cheeks, and charm; away the headaehes‘and bac-kaches, that renâ€" der the lives of so ma’ny Women constantly miserable. ‘ It. is said that woman’s work is never done, and that it is a fact that whether in society or in the home her life is filled with more cares and more worries than falls to/ the lot of man. For this reason women are compelled regretfully to watch the growing pellet of their cheeks, the coming of wrinkles and the thinness that becomes more dis- tressing every day. Every woman knows _that ill-health and worry is a fatal enemy to beauty, and that good health gives the plainest face an enduring attractiveness. “Hoot, mon, ye’re a’ wrang,” exclaimed the enthusiastic piper- “Did ye no see the chirls this mornâ€" ing whilst I was twirlin’ the pipes?

Pro- tests have already been received from the Pacific Coast. and it is reported that a. special ofllcer will be sent to London to mgle representations to the‘India Office. Hitherto it has been possible to pre vent an influx by the order in council which stipulates that immigrants must come by direct passage from the land of their birth. Another clause that may be used. and has been used in similar cases. is the one prohibiting the immigration of persona belonging to a race deem unsuit- ed to the climate or requirements of Can- ada, but the Hindus have waged a cam- paign against this barrier, and point to their brethren now in good health and comfortable circumstances in British Col- umbia. {Hindu women and children are said to be included in the new coloniza- tion scheme.
