DOMINION BREWERY COMPANY LIMITED TORONTO OUR LIVES. Interesting Experiments Made With Fishes Are Reported by a Writer in One of the Scientific Magazines The interesting discovery has recent- ton that the metal thorium has the property of destroying vegetable and { bacterial growths, while certain forms {ol animal life seeny 10 have a prolong- jed existence under its influence. Tho- rium, says the Science Conspectus, causes fungi and even ordinary gross to die prematurely. Grass sprouts at fitet after treatment with sthorium, but dies in a brief time if it is in contact | with earth that has been treated with ithe metal. On the other hand, the life- (time of some fishes is prolonged if thorium is added to their native en- vironment; sea water and sand, : The experiments were carried {with the fish by dividing them into three lots. Two of these lots were placed in water that had been treated with thorium, while the third was left in untreated water. After soven months more than ninety per cent. of {the fish in the thorium. treated en- {vironment were still living, while {those in the untreated water died {within five weeks, The wally of the vessel containing no thorium were jcovered with fungus, while the other two vessels were almost free from this growth. The fungus probably kills the fish, and they were, therefore, able to live longer in the vessels where the inimiea) organisms had been destroy- ed. It is not known whether the benefi- |cial effects of thorium on animal life jare due to the metal itself or to {some other substance that is present jim very small quantities. Some of the {Compounds of thorium have the same property, but to a vee much smaller degree. Other metals have been tried, but none has been found to possess (this stgular influence. Experiments are being oarried out on {other animals, and it is hoped that | thoPium may he found to destroy jsome of the disease germs that take jyoars from the life of mankind, with- jout seriously affecting the functions {of the human organism. | out "SELF-STARVATION." | Wealthy Miser Who Picked Bread | Out of Gutter.

One of the surest signs that the blood is out of order is the pimples, unsightly eruptions and eczema that come frequently with the change from winter to spring. These prove that the long indoor life of winter bas has its afleet upon the blood, and that a tonic medicine is needed to put it right. Indeed there are few people who do not need a tonic at this season. Bad blood does not metely show itself in disfiguring erup- tions. To this same condition is due attacks of rheumatism and lumbago ; the sharp stabbing pains of sciatica aud neuralgia; poor appetite and a desire to avoid exertion. You cannot cure these troubles by the use of pur. gative medicines--you need a tonic, and a tonic omly, and among all medicives there is none ean equal Dr, Williama® Pink Pills for their tonic, life-givig, nerve-restoring powers.

CRAZE FOR ANTIQUES. Age Alone Does Not Necessarily Ime ply Beauty. «ondon Globe, Whether the present craze for an- tiques represents in reality any artis tic progress on the part of people in general would be a nice speculation. Me fear, in the majority of cases, the acquisition, or attempted acquisition, of "genuine" old furnitore, prints, china, and so forth, is merely dictated by a desite to be in the fashion. It may be argued that even this is 10 much to the good, singe it is bet ter that persons of small or no tgste should live in artistic surroundings, even if they are unable to appreciate them. So much may be admitted, but our concern for the moment is rather with the class of people who bave some instinct for art, but who in their pursuit of the beautiful and their dislike of the blatantly ugly have rushed into the extreme of ae quiring articles merely because they are "genuine old." Now, age alone does not necessarily imply beauty. An artistic copy of a beautiful object is far more to be cherisheG than an inartistic, even, if genuinely old, original. But, unfor- tunately, most of us are such iumpul- sive creatures that in our haste to buy the old we are in danger of for: getting to note whether it be really beautiful as well. The result will probably be that in will die out and we shall be filling our a few years' time the present crale rooms with priceless specimens of mid- Victorian art. WORK LONG HOURS.
