She was a deeply injured and desperate woman. “Oh, cruel one!” she cried in an- guished tones, "I have borne with you too long! You have injured the very foundations of my being! Day by day you have tortured me, and yet I could not bear to give you up. ' When first we met, how your case and polish attracted me!

St. Vitus Dance is a common dis- eaSe among children, but it often at- tacks both men and Women of nerv- ous temperament. Its symptoms are shaky hands, jerky arms, trembâ€" ling legs, twitching muscles; some- times the powor of speech is affected. The only cure lies in plenty of blood, because good blood is the lifeâ€"blood of the nerves. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills never fail to cure St. Vitus Dance, because they make the 'l'lCl'l, red blood that feeds the nerves and keeps them strong and steady. Mrs. Wm. Levellie, Welland, Ont.. was seriously afflicted with St. Vitus Dance, and no treatment helped her until she began the use of Dr. Williams’ I’ink Pills. Mrs. Levellie says:-â€"-“At times the trouble was so severe that I could not take a drink of water unaided, and could not trust myself to raise a dish. There was a constant involuntary motion of the limbs, and at times I could neither eat, walk nor talk. I grew pale and emaciated, and my life was fairly a burden. Doctors’ treatment, which I was taking almost continu- ously, did not do me, a particle of good and I had almost come to the conclusion that there was no cure for me. I was in what must be conâ€" sidered a desperate condition when I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In the course of a few weeks after I had begun their use, Ithere was a marked improvement in my condition, and by the time I had taken nine boxes every symptom of the trouble had disappeared, and I was as healthy and active as in girlhood." It is because Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills go right down to the root of the trouble in the blood that they cure such diseases as St.'Vitus Dance, neuralgia, nervous prostraâ€" tion, anaemia, backaches and headâ€" aches, rheumatism, kidney trouble, indigestion, lung tronbl-es and other diseases of the blood and nerves.

Wealth is Kept Out of Cir- culation in India. An enormous amount of the gold of the world is locked up in India. During a visit to that country a few years ago, I found that gold had gone out'of circulation. The people seemed miserably poor, but they had quantities of jewellery. Girls dressâ€" ed in cotton often wore gold and silver bracelets and anklets, and many a barefooted girl had gold rings and gold bells on her toes. For ages the East Indians were oppressâ€" ed. They did not da'rc to ldan their money for fear they Would lose it, and they preferred to put it into orâ€" naments. This custom prevails to- day, even though there'is now, under the English, security of property. Among the chief holders are the In- dian raj-abs who wear the most exâ€" pensive of jewellery. I saw many gold rings set with precious stones worth £200 and upwards, and I found gold chains for sale every- where. Sir David Barbour estimat- ed the amount of the gold boarded in India during the halfâ€"century previous to 1885 at Alli-30,000,000. This was the accumulation of over fifty years. He estimated that £160,000,000 worth of silver Was boarded in this time, and states that nearly all of the gold and silver which came into India in return for its exports was thus kept. The Hindoo buys but little from other countries. He lives on rice or coarSe grain. A-cotton rag in most cases forms his clothing. All the money he gets he keeps, and if this hoardâ€" ing is to continue it is certain that a great. part of the gold will e‘\’entu-'- ally be absorbed by .the East Indi~ ans. The English have realized this for a long time. They have atâ€" tempted to remedy it, but in vain. About ten years ago they triéd to get the boarded gold and silver inâ€" to circulation by offering high rates of interest for money, but the na- tives would not respond. There are about 300,000 native bankers in India. who lend to the peasants, but the most of their business is done in kind, the money-lender advancing so P >*‘\ ,‘Y.

Much Shivering is Done to Too Tight Neck Bands. “’Keep warm by wearing your stock loose!" This is the latest hygienic dictum, and it has a fine basis of fact. Every one knows how cold are tight gloves and shoes; the up-to-date, progresâ€" sive woman would by no means so sorely tax her abundant vitality as to wear any kind of a closely reâ€" straining band about her waist. Yet until quite recently she, in common with her brothers, was wont; to conâ€" fine the tender, swolling throat in swathing bands and bonds inevitably productive of evil results and condi- tions. The beauty culturists started the revolt of the throat by loudly proclaiming that too close dressing meant unloveliness, dark tintings, wrinkles, all manner of undesirable troubles. Now come the hygienic auâ€" thorities with instructions to dress the throat With easy looseness if coldwcather suffering is to be kept at bay. Here is the reason for the dictum]. With the throat closely confined free circulation is impeded, the tender nerves at the base of the brain ren- dered sensitive and,unruly, a feeling of fullness produced about the neck and throat. When a warm' atmosâ€" phere is suddenly exchanged for a. cold one the repressed muscles and unduly sensitivd’ skin are quite unable to adjust. themselves to the new con- ditions. Shivering and chilliness of the entire body ensue promptly, no matter how close and snug are the neck wrappings and fuvrs adjusted. And for lack of an extra inch or so of ribbon or stock material many a severe cold is endured, many a .bright Winter day rendered uncomfortable. The soft and innocent seeming rib- bon, according to many physicians, is frequently a worse offender than the lined and stiffened stock. Beâ€" cause it appears so innocuous it is adjusted witlr insidious tightness, the prisoned throat often bearing vivid, tokens of this mistake at the end of the day. And of course the wearer has found the cold trying all through the long hours of its reign. “Make the experiment, at least,” plead the liygenic reformers Who have tln‘oWn down the gauntlet in reference to the stock bondage of feminine - shiverers. “Loosen the collar half an inch this Week, and a full inch will soon become desirable. And in addition to the blessed comâ€" fort of no‘longer lindirg the cold weather unbearable the freed throat will grow plump and pretty as well.” __.____¢__..._.__. KLONDIKE HEALTH. RESORT. Returned Woman Was the Picture of Health. When Mrs. Henry Eipper of A. lington, New Jersey, left her par- ents’ home in 1899 to go to her husband and son in the Klondike she l. rewsiness weighed only 97 pounds. When she returned last fall after an absence of five years she tipped the scales at 170. She was the picture of health and her improved physical condition was. commented on by her many friends. A few days ago Mrs. Eipper again bade goodâ€"bye to her parents and other relatives and started on the long return trip to the Klondike- alone to rejoin her husband and son. This will be her second journey to the Klondike alone, as she went un- accompanied in 1899. The Eippers, father and son, live twenty miles above Dawson and the son has five good claims and the father six. ‘Mrs. Eipper likes her life in the far north and is much more comfor- table there than people hereabouts. imagine. There are plenty of neighâ€" bors and quite a number of women. It is often more than ~10 degrees- below zero and summer is only about two months long. For the greater, part of the remainder of the year the people wear furs. Even in sum- mer snowclad peaks are all around them. ..__..+_____ 'A LITTLE LIFE SAVER. Baby’s Own Tablets have saved‘ many a precious little life. They are the best medicine in the world for all stomach and bowel troubles, simple fevers and teething troubles, and they contain not one particle of opi- ate or harmful drug. Mrs. Elbridge Lowe, Sheet Harbor, N.S., says 2â€"â€" “My baby was always sickly until I began giving him Baby’s Own Tab- lets, but they have changed him into a. fine, big, healthy child. I am never without the Tablets in the- house.” The Tablets can be given. with perfect safety to a new born babe, and are good through every stage of childhood. If you do not find the Tablets at your medicine dealers send 25 cents to the Dr. Wil- liams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Out., and get a box by mail post paid. A shipbuilder tells of" an Irishman. who sought employment as a diver in the service of one of the shipbuilding companies. The first job to which the Irishman. was assigned was to be performed in comparatively shallow water. He was provided with a pick and told to use it on a ledge below. Mike was put into a diver’s suit, and, with his pick, was sent down to- tackle the ledge. For about fifteen minutes nothing Was heard from him. Then came a strong, determined, deâ€"~ liberate pull on the signal rope, in- dicating that Mike had a. very de- cided wish to come to the top. The- assistants hastily pulled him to the raft and removed his helmet. “Take off the ris't of it,” said IMike. “Why, what’s the matter?” asked they. “Take off the rist of it,” doggedly reiterated Mike; “I’ll wurâ€"rk no long-- er on a job where I can’t spit on me hands.” » titer _ ideals A Persistent Symptom of Nervous Dyspep- siaâ€"Cure is Obtained by Use of DR.
