~ Mam wille spots on 2Y Qverheard ix a Street-Car. A There's a lesson right there! Little blemishes of com- plexion, small sores, eruptions, spots, are not 'only 'unpleasant to the person afflicted, but are thw first thing noticed by other people. A little Jam-Buk applied at night to spots, eruptions, sores of any kind will do wonders. Zam-Buk is not a greasy preparation which will go ran- cid on your dressing table. It is made from healing, herbal v extracts and essences. Always pure, fresh and ready for use. Doesn't lose its power. Keeps 'indefinitely. Healing, scothing and antiseptic all the time.

A nagging disposition is natural to {few; it comes {rom tired nerves, or {from supersensitiveness, or from a too free indulgence in sharp criticism-- i which is likely to lead a person izto va minute and harassing scrutiny of {the life about him. So'\long as critic- ism does not react anfavorohlr either lon the critic or on the criticized it is beneficial; but when it is accompanied by a sense of impatience in the one and of resentment in the other t be- comes nagging, and should be dropped --- even if the, fault that it justly ob- jects to continues to flourish. The naggers and the nagged are as, a rule, extremely fond of each other. You are not likely to nag anyone that vou do not care about. In other words, nagging is primarily a family custom, and is chiefly practiced between hus- band and wives, parents, brothers. and sisters. A certain affectionate intimacy seems to be required for it. I"'ew people nag their servants, even if the corners are seldom dusted and ithe silver and brasses polished only under protest. The mistress endures such a state of things as best she can. and when she can endure it no longer sha "makes a change." Yet long suf- fering mistresses are sometimes nag- ging wives and mothers -- for the reason, no doubt, that in their con- jugal or maternal pride they are al- ways striving to raise the standard of those most dear to them. In the same way a man mav nag his wife, but he either tolerates or discharges his office hoy. For each of these there are certain persons whom it seems worth while to take pains with; but we should take pains with them at the right time and in the right tone of voice -- in short, when the feeling of affection has sufficiently overcome that of an- noyance. If we observe that rule thos~ who have hitherto been the vic- tims of our nagging may soon cease¢ to counsel our "~-" A SLUGGISH TORPID LIVER Leaves Bile and Other Poisonous Im- purities in the Blood.

It is through the liver and kidneys alone that the plood can be freed of all its impurities and the morbid mat- ter which collects there when the Ii- ver is torpid. Many a suffering man and many a despondent woman has been cured of liver complaint and kidney derange- ments by Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. By their direct and combined action on both liver and kidneys they have often proved successful when mere kidney medicines have failed. «Backache, Kidney Disease, Liver Complaint, Chronic Indigestion and Constipation are thoroughly cured by Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills.

King George's Work-Room The room in which King George transacts his business is conveniently placed for his private suite, and he make it a rule only to receive official visitors in his "office." inviting such personal friends as-call upon him in his private smoking-room. This is one of the most handsomely fitted up. of the whole of the private suites of the ralace, and was carried out by the direction, and under the personal supervision of the late King Edward. It is not very large and is a thorougn "man's room" in every sense of the word, containing, among other tli'ngs, shooting trophies, mostly testi- monies to his Majesty's skill 'with rifle, gun and the rod. Occasionally the King will suggest during the course of a busy morning that Lord Stamfordham, Col. Sir F. Ponsonby, or others of his secretarial staff should suspend their duties for a short time and accompany him to the smoking- room, there to have a chat over a brief smoke, The King does not smoke to anything like the same extent as his tate Majesty. of whom it is on record that he never was seen on his way to hig bathroom of a morning without a cigar in his mouth. It is very rarely that the King smokes anything stronger than a cigarette, though when he is traveiling on the sea, ag in the case of the Medina voy- age, he will light a briar pipe with ob- vious enjoyment. He could never, however, be called a heavy smoker, and this mav be accounted for in some respect by the fact that the Queen does not like the smell of {to- bacco in any room: she enters. Archdeacon Fisher was not without a little vanity in respect to his ser- mon, and once received a quiet hint from. Constable on the subject. Hav- ing preached an old sermon once, which he was not aware that Con- stable had heard before, he asked him how he liked it. "Very much, indeed, Iisher." plied Constable, "I always did that sermon."

In it the teeth are shown with malicious intent. and not as they arc in the benevolent appeal of true laughter.

Do not make the mistake of waiting for asthma to wear away by itself. While you are waiting the disease is surely gathering a stronger foothold and you live in danger of stronger and yet stronger attacks. Dr. J. D.

Dysentery corrodes the intestines and sneedily eats away the lining, bringing about dangerous conditions that may cause death. Dr. J. D.
