No, 4, st. | Catharines, Ont., writes: ' 1 wish to say that I have been bothered very much with my heart and nerves. 1 doctored with two different doctors, but did not find much relfef. I would have.such bad pains in my heart, at times: I would be almost afraid to move or breathe, and at night I could not sleep. If the pains in my heart were gone, my nerves would be so bad I could not lie still and would | only get a little sleep by being tired out. My stomach was also very bad and I could eat but very little, and then only certain things or I would have so much distress which always made my heart worse. I had been suffering for nearly two Years until one day I was talking to our druggist about the way I felt. He ad me to give Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills a fair trial.

Rice Fields IT would be with most Canadians learned that, taken the world over, rice is a more im- rtant food produet than wheat. evertheless, the statement is true. Asia's teeming millions consume more rice than other people do wheat. Therefore, Japan, as the world's greatest rice producing country is to millions of Asiatics the world's granary as Canada be- ging to be to the world of wheat eaters, But Japan is a small country; it has to do its farming in an intens- ive way, every acre of its soil must be put to use, and every available unit of its millions of man, woman and child power must work to keep the land productive. That is why most of the actual work in the rice fields is done by girls, girls who smile and chatter as though ever- mud puddles of rice fields were a Jjollification rather than a labor. But the smile is characteristic of the Japanese, working or playing. It is a national trait. During most of the year Japan is a smiling land, and no doubt the people come by their propensities honestly enough. Rice is grown in water-covered fields. If the water isn't there in the first place it has to be pumped up by curious little water tread wheels of one-man power. These are always worked by men because it is one of the easiest jobs on the rice farm. After the fields are cov- ered by about a foot of dirty water they are ploughed. This also is a man's fobs and a man usually does it, probably because the ox that draws the plow needs that kind of talking to. Then the girls step in lastingly wading in the glorified) t surprise that --half way to their knees the go into the mud and water and by hand they plant the thousands of little rice plants that go to make up a field and through the succeedi months of the year they cultivate the water covered fields with hoes that seem too big for the little hands' that hold them. The goin ripens to harvest, and the fields are drained off, and after the men have cut it down with sc s the girls and children again e¢ up their labors, - Threshing is a primitive opera- tion. Large metal combs stand in wooden frames and the straw is first pulled through these, the ears of Kain being torn from the straw in e process. The threshing is done by flails and the straw is cleaned by large fans in the hands of girls, It is then ound to flour by ham- mering with heavy wooden mallets or in primitive hand mills, and finds its way to the table in countless curious and delectable forms, such as only Japanese cooks know. Japan is always lovely and inter. Lesting to the Western visitor, but never more 80 than when the rice harvest is under way. ~~ ACTORS BROKEN IN HEALTH. -- Julia Marlowe and E. H.

Wrote About Himself to His Brother. | When David Livingstone was in | Africa in 1851 he wrote to his broth- er Charles, then in the United States. {Some of these letters are published | in the Atlantic Monthly, and the orig- | inals have been given to the American | Board of Foreign Missions. Here are some extracts from these letters-- "On the fourth day we came to the i trail of a rhinoceros; and this being {one of the animals which cannot live } without water, we put the cattle on | phe track, and in the afternoon the | perishing animals reached the river { Mahahi. | "After having dragged you through nin reeds, and rivers, I come {back to the topic on which I feel j moat interested--the poor degraded | fragments of humanity.

They are quite black, their muscular | system is largely developed, deep- : chested, their upper extremities are 80 powerful they make their light canoes cut through the water as our regatta people do at home. They are not warlike, but trust to the defences their deep rivers afford. They are | much more ingenious as smiths, basket-makers, potters, and canoe- makers than any of the southern tribes. The Banyeti or Balo! smelt large quantities of fron ore, and | make very neat spears, needles, etc. { I have the vanity to believe myself, for an untaught Jack-of-all-trades, a | pretty fair smith; but I could not | hold a candle to them 'in spear-mak- | ing, sheep and ox-bells, ete. | "The country is densely populated, and, the people, having generally enough food, may attend if they will | to instruction. The Supreme Being is called Nyampi, or Besa. In re- | ferring to a person having died, they { say 'he was lifted by Nyampi,' or 'by the Lord.' They make use of certain | kinds of divination, and prayers, too. { I have visited a great many tribes | which never have enjoyed any inter- course with missionaries either di- rectly or indirectly, and never met a | single individual, unaware of the ex- | istence of the Creator and Governor of all things. All understand the na- ture of sin--and the expressions made use of by all imply the belief in the existence of a future state of being. If any ever existed who had no knowledge of the existence of God, sin, and futurity, it is remark- able that no instance should now re- main. Intelligent old men with whom I have conversed ridicule the idea' of their ever having been destitute of the knowledge of God, and goote their proverbs and fables handed down from time immemorial in proof." Explorer Leaving Wine In Wills. A bequest to a friend of a sum of money to be expended in the pur- chase of six dozen bottles of vintage port wine, with which to drink to his memory when he was gone, was in- cluded in the will of a London, Eng., solicitor who died recently. Such bequests are not so very un- common, and they are perfectly legal in this form. But a few years ago, when a member of the Savage Club bequeathed £650, the interest on which was to provide free drinks for members of the club for ever, the law decided that the bequest was not valid. In days gone by many similar be- quests have been allowed to stand. There are, for instance, at least twenty English towns and villages where free beer is distributed on certain anniversaries in accordance with the wills of certain testators. And only a few years back a Kent- ish gentleman left a hundred pounds apiece to eleven boon companions, "to be expended in port wine or any other good drink." A curious instance of a convivial will was that left by John Redman, a friend of Fox, the famous states- man. He enjoined his executors to keep open his house in London for at least a year after his death, and to visit it frequently, taking friends with them, "to help drink up t| good wines contained in the cellars. On the other hand, teetotalism by will is not altogether unknown. A famous case in point oceur- red in 1915, on the death of a wealthy South Wales colliery owner. He left over half a million pounds in legacies to a number of people, on condition that they should refrain for the rest of their lives from in- toxicating drinks. Toll Bars and Turnpikes. The Toll Bar system organised in lar toll was collected a few later for mending the road in don between St. Giles and Temple Bar, the next were levied in 1346 for repairing the highway of Hol- born Inn Lane, and St. Martin's Lane ---now Aldersgate street. General turnpikes were set up in 1663, and tokens were issued for the payment of tolls. At the close of the eigh- teenth century the trafic along the Great North road had become enor- mous. The revenue of the London toll gates at this time was over £60,- 000 annually. As the cities and towns grew they became responsible for their own highways, and in 1837 twenty-seven Toll Bars were removed in London by Act of Parliament. In 1864 some eighty-one turnpikes were abolished in north London and sixty- one were removed on the south side. The ast of the London Bars ceased to operate in 1872, and tolls on bridges ceased in 1579, Sir William Hoy. ; From messenger boy to knight commander of the Order of the Bath is a big step, but such is the record of Sir William Hoy, manager of railways and harbors of South Africa.

Frederick Cedar, formerly of Mal- ome, is up and about in St. Joachim': hospital, and William Rogers, of Glen Park, is rapidly recovering at the same institution, each after auf- fering a broken neck. Cedar's verte- brae was broken at the base of the skull, and the nature of his injury was determined through the X-ray. Rogers suffered a broken neck late in October at Brown's Falls power development. He was struck on the head with a plece of plank falling from a scaffold.
