Bobbie came and leaned against his brother Will's knee. "Mother brought me these picturé papers," he said. "And I should like to have little Ted see them. I promised that he should see them, but if I send them to him, they'll all have to be burned, bemuse he has the measles." "Run and ask Nellie to give you a piece of paraffin" said his brother. "A piece from a jelly tumbler will do--if it is washed clean." Away Bobbie ran to the kitchen, and he soon returned with the paraffin. paraffin. He. was eager and interested. "Now," said Will, "take this piece of plain white paper and rub it all over with the paraffin. Be sure that the paper is well covered. Lay the paper on the picture with the paraffin paraffin side down. Now take this little wooden block, or anything that has a sharp edge, and rub the paper as hard as you can without tearing it." "Oh, oh!" laughed Bobbie, as he turned the paper over. "The pictures have all come off on the white paper, and they're not blurred at all! See how plain they are! Will they come off like that every time?" "It is easier to transfer pictures from rough paper, like newspaper and the kind -most of the. magazines are printed on," said Will, "but if you , rub on plenty of paraffin you can transfer a picture of any kind." "Now," said Bobbie, "I can send our best pictures to Ted, and I need not care if they are burned."--Youth's Companion. It Generally Leaves the Patient Debilitated and. an Easy Vic- , tim to Qther Diseases. dne'of the foremost medical writers says: "It is astonishing the number of people - who .h^ve been crippled in health fbr years after an attack of la grippe or influenza."- Thé real danger danger from this disease, which sweeps over Canada every winter, is during convalescence, when the characteristic symptoms, the fevér, the.catarrh, the headaches and the depression of spirits spirits pass away. Grip leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired impaired digestion, and over-sensitive nerves---a condition that makes the system an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, nervous prostration prostration and even consumption. It is a condition that calls most emphatically for a tonic for the blood. Dr. Williams' Williams' Pink Pills are a tonic especially adapted to meet this need as they purify and enrich the blood. They tone up the nerves and give. vigor, strength and health to the debilitated system. Mrs. Howard D. Chaffey, Indian Island, N.B., says: "For several several winters in succession I was attacked attacked by la grippe, which left me weak and badly run down. .In each case I used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with the most beneficial results. Last winter when the trouble was again prevalent I took the precaution of fortifying fortifying my system with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and escaped the trouble, while many of my neighbors were down with it. In fact I enjoyed the best of health all spring and feel sure this medicine will so fortify the system system as to prevent the trouble." These Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for. $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. --* FIGHTING WOMEN.

Writing in the Russkoye Slovi, Gregori Petroff says : In a certain place a Cossack patrol, which had penetrated for into the enemy's flanks, came across a peasant peasant boy, about 12 years old. The child was lying hidden between some tussocks of grass, and when found he was unconscious. His breathing was almost imperceptible. One of the Cossacks threw him over his saddle and brought him to camp. On recovering recovering consciousness he narrated what had taken place. "I was with the Germans on Saturday," Saturday," he said. "How is that?" the soldiers inquired. inquired. They thought he was wandering. "I was in the marshes. I have drowned them," the boy said. "It is the fifth party I have drowned." "How did you drown them?" "I led them astray. They came to our village. I was the only one remaining remaining there--all the others had gone. I remained on purpose. But, you see, they have shot me. I have been wounded." "Why?" "I led them here. When they came to the village I went to meet them. They began to name the places around the village and asked me to Some in Russian Army Have Been Decorated for Bravery. It has been known for months that many Russian women have been fighting fighting shoulder to shoulder with their fathers, husbands and brothers in the army of the Czar. A number of them have been promoted promoted and have become full-fledged officers, and others have been decorated decorated for gallantry with the military Cross of St. George. The youngest, perhaps, is an 18- year-old Vilna schoolgirl, Kira Bash- kiron, who enlisted under the name of Nicholas Popin. She had her feet frozen, but continued . fighting until she was wounded and taken to the field hospital,, where it was discovered that she was a woman. Alexandra Kokovtseva also enlisted enlisted under an assumed name in the Ural Cossack regiment to which her husband belonged, and in which he had fought in the Russo-Japanese War. After having been wounded twice in the East Prussian campaign she showed such extraordinary courage that she was recommended to be promoted promoted to become a colonel, although her* sex had been found outf and as colonel she has served ever since. Her soldiers are devoted to her, and none of them can sit a horse with more ease than she or can endure longer hours in the saddle. She was born in. the Ural Mountains, and spent most of her life in the open. 1 * ■ CAUSES TROUBLE People Slowly Learn the Facts. "All my lif% I have been a slave to coffee.

(Tea produces about the same effect as coffee, coffee, because they both contain thé drugs, caffeine and tannin). "My heart became weak and uncertain uncertain in its action and that frightened me.

And the Kaiser is an A1 marriage broker. Make no mistake about that. He has bestowed his favorite sister, the Princess Sophie, on King Constantine Constantine of Greece* with what result we all know. He it was, too, who "arranged" the marriage of the young Queen. of Holland with his kinsman, Prince Henry of Mecklenburg-Schwerin; and no one can truthfully say that Holland Holland is precisely and enthusiastically on oun side. . Bulgaria has been ruled over by a German ever since it became an independent independent country, the present King being, of course, a Coburger ; while his wife is also a German, being formerly formerly known as Princess Eleanora of Reuss. The German Princess Alexandrine of Mecklenburg, nobbled the present King of Denmark, Christian X.; and his father, by the way, was also _ a German originally--Prince Schleswig- Hol stein- S onderburb-Glucksburg. The same thing confronts us in which ever direction we turn. Europe is simply dotted thick all over with German Royalties set upon "strategic" thrones. Thus the Queen of Sweden is a German, and. first cousin to the Kaiser, being formerly known as Princess Victoria of Baden. King Ferdinand of Rumania is a Holienzol- lern, and his German born-and-bred wife was formerly the Princess Marie of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Fortunately, though, It doesn't always always work, this giving in marriage in order to further the great. game . of "Deutschland uber Allies." , The present present Queen of Belgium, as we all know, is a German. Yet she detests the Huns who have ravaged her husband's husband's kingdom as heartily as we do, and has publicly avowed her intention of having nothing more whatever to do with them. --:--* NO MEDICINE TO EQUAL BABY'S OWN TABLETS pie have the reputation of being the best taxpayers in the world.

When the war comes to an end a treaty of peace will be signed, sealed and delivered as between the various belligerents. This will be a most imposing document, document, written by hand throughout, sealed with many seals, and bound about with green silk ribbon. Following Following the usual custom, each copy will begin with the words, "In the name of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity/' Should, however, Turkey be one of the signatory powers, as seems probable, this formula will be altered to "In the Name of Allah the Almighty God" in the copy allotted to her. At least as many original copies as there are signatory powers will be signed and sealed, while several certified copies will be signed, but not sealed, for the sake of convenience. The original copies will be securely locked up in the state archives of the different countries; the certified copies, will be used for printing from and for reference. Peace treaties are not written straight across the page, or pages, like ordinary documents. They are written in parallel columns, one in Eriglish, the next in French, the next in Italian, German, Russian, and so on, according to the number of languages languages spoken by the peoples of the signatory powers. The text of each of these columns is an exact translation translation of the text of all the other columns, columns, and the utmost pains is taken in the selection of words that will convey identical shades of meaning. The monarchs of the signatory pow- don't affix their signatures or seals to thé peace treaties entered into by them.

This loss leaves us in point of numbers about where we stood four years ago. But great wars are usually followed by a marked increase increase in the birthrate, and, consequently, consequently, without any deliberate effort on our part and' leaving the remedy entirely to nature, we ought to make good the wastage of war in four years or less. That prediction, of course, assumes something which is by no means au assured fact--namely, that after the war, work will be plentiful, wages good and the necessaries of life easily within the purchasing power of the people, the marriage-rate being closely connected with variations in all these factors. •_ -* it closed, may have a weapon concealed concealed in it, and therefore it became the custom for the two right hands to grasp each other, as only thus could full assurance be. given that no weapon weapon was concealed in either of them.
