It is a stife estimate that fully half the women in Canada ai'o afflicted with it. For that reason every cvidouce that there is a sure and coiiiph'tc cure in existence is thiinkfiilly received.

"BEUISERS" BY THE DAY. Protectors For Hire at a London Boxing- School. There now exists in Hethnal Green an e.stablishnient where professional lUfhtiiig men ujay be hired by timoi- ous souls who desire "i)rotectlon," says the London Kxprcss. Naturally, this emporium tor the supply of "bruisers" is not openiy advertised, and those who wish to Be<:ure the services of a pugilist have to proc(«d by devious jiaths. Armed, however, with satisfactory credentials, a representative of the ICxpress called on the proi)rietor of the business â€" a gentleman of extiei.ie- ly put;ilistic apfiearance. At tirwt the purveyor of "bruisers" was Inelmed to be reticient, but presently he took the representative of the Express in- to his conlldence. "You would be surprised," he said impressively, "to know how many meinbcrs of Parliament come to mo for 'protection' during election tinw!. â-  They slmjily inform nie, through their agents, how many men they need to secure their safety at meet- ings, and no fortli, and I send down suitable men by train.

DOGS AND DEEB Travellers' Adventure in the Wilda of Siberia. The strength of heredity, both In wild and in dome.sticaUKl aiiimal.s, is brought into clear light by an inci- dent related in a recent book, "In Search of a Siberian Klondike." Tlio aiithorj of the hook were travelling by dog-team through the wilds of Siberia. At four o'clock in the afternoon the dogs suddenly broke into a swift run, and we knew they had scented something that interesteil them. We soon perceived that wo had struck a deer train, and that we were nearlng an encampment. We turned n bend in the road, and there, a hundred yards ahead of us, we saw the cause of the d.^gs' excitement. A team of reindeer were running for their lives. Their Tungu.s driver wu.s lushing them with the whip, and Was urging them with all his might, for he knew as well as we that if our dogs overtook them before the camp Was reached, we .seven men would bo utterly i>owerIess to prevent the dogs from tearing the <lcer to pieces. Oiir driver put on the lirnke with all his might, but. it bed not the least ef- fect. The fourteen dogs had become wolves in the turn of a hiuiJ, and no brake lotdd stop thein. There were inuny :timps niiil other obstructions along our way, and my {lri\er had great dilliculty in provently a smash- up. For a short lime the deer held their own, and in fact gained on us; but before the yurta (vilhige) dime in sight we were gaining rapidly. While we were still at nonie distance the people of the village, warned by the cries of the dogs, comprehended what was the matter, and arming themselves with sticks and spears, came running toward us. As they came on they spread out in a fan- lilie fornuUion across the trail. When th' tenilied deer re-.iclied the lino, the men siue.id out nud and let th<' teani through, anil instantly closed again to dispute the passage of our <logs. ()\ir driver^ was nowise minded to let the natives club his dogs, and perhaps injure the vulualile animals, so he resorted to the last exi)edient. (living a shout of warning to me, he suihlenly, by a deft motion, turned our sledge completely over, landing me in a snow-drilt on my head. In this position the sledge was all brake, and the dogs were forced to stop. They were le.iping in their har- ness and yelling like liends incarnate. I sat iip in the snow-bank aiul laughed. The other ilrivcrs hud fol- lowed our example, and the strug- gling tangle of sledges, harness, dogs and men formc<I a scene that to the novice at least was highly ludicrous 'I'he drivers and the village people were belaboring the dogs, and the entire herd of reindeer belonging to the village was escaping in all direc- tions up the hills. The reader may well ask how the natives can u.so both dogs and rein- deer, if the sight of a deer has such a nuuldening cffe<t on the dogs. 'Hio explanation is simple. The two never go together. There is the dog coun- try and the deer country, but they do not overlap. Confusion is often unavoidably cau.s<il by travelling with dogs through a deer country, but the natives do not take it in ill Part, knowing that if they them- selves ha\e to travel with deer through a dog country they will cau.se (piite as nuich inconvenience.
