The blood ecomes thin and wate1y or clogged with impurities. Sometimes you get up in the morning just as tired as when you went to bed. some pe lo have headaches; others are 01v spirited; some have pimp ples and skin eruptions. These are all spring symptoms that the blood is out of order. You can ’t cure these t1oubles with pnrgative medicines, which merely gallop through the system, leaving you still weaker. IVhat you need to give you health and strength 1n the spung is a tonic medicine, and the one always reliable tonic and blood . builder is Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. These Pills not only banish spring ills, but guard you against the more serious ailments that follow, such as anaemia, nervous debility, rheumatism, indigestion and kidney trouble. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills make new, rich blood which strengthens every nerve, every or- gan and every part of the body. Try this medicine this spring and you will have st1ength and energy to resist the torrid heat of the coming summer. Mr. J. R. John- son, Loch Broom, N. B, says: - “Some two y-eais ago I began to feel that my constitution was weak- ening. I could not stand any ex- posu1e or knocking about. I finally sought the aid of a doctor who said my sy ystem was very much run down, and that the trouble might end in nervous prostration. As his medicine did not help me I decided, on the advice of a fiiend, to give Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a trial. I had used less than a half dozen bc- xes when my health was fully re- stored, and I think no other medi- cine can equal these Pills when one is run down and out of health.” .llold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2. 50 from The Dr. Wil- liams’ Medicine Co. ., Brockville, Ont. '_'""'"â€"v'k-â€""_' A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Sportsman at the Mercy of a Wounded Rhinccrous. A few years ago a terrible ac- cidmt befell an English sportSman in pursuit of the rhinocerons. It is given in a book entitled “On Safari,” by Mr. Abel Chapman, to whom the story was 1elated by the unfortunate man. The sportsman was in pursuit of ela-nd, and had passed a “ihino, ” whicli he resol- ved to go back and endeavor to se- ‘ cure. He tells the story as follows: “The rhino was one hundred and twenty yards away, with its back towards me. I sat down in the g1 ass, eighteen inches high, and waited. After ten minutes the rhino turned 1ound and walked slowly toward me, grazmg. “The man I had with me became frightened, and after creeping some distance through the grass, jump ped to his feet and 1.an This aroused the beast, for it lifted its head and looked after the man, giving me the chance I wanted. “I put a solid bullet 111 the centre of its chest, and it went down heavily. There seemed to be not the slightest breath of life in it, so I walked toward it “When I was less than twenty yaids away the huge beast gave a roll and got on its feet. My 1ifle was up at once, and I put a bullet into the shoulder; but before I could get in a second shot the brute was charging straight. “I commenced to inn, but the first step I took I tripped and fell, and hef01e I could regain my feet it was on top of me. “It hit me fiist w..11 its nose, d1opped with both knees on me, then, drawing back for the blow, threw me clean over its back. The ho1n entered the back of my left thigh, and I saw the animal well underneath me as I was flying through the air. “It thiew me the second time, but I cannot recollect the throw clearly , and then came a thiid time. I was lying on m-y back when the great black snout was pushed against me. Then I found myself on my feet, how, I do not know, and staggered off. “Aftei going about forty yaids, expecting eve1y moment to be charged again, I felt that I might as well lic down and let the beast finish 1;s werk. so I lay down. him, and midnight ere they could cairy him into camp. It was not until eight days after the accident that the doctor arrived, and the necessary operations could be per- formed. The man lost his right arm, but otherwise bears no trace of his ter- rible experience. r -_- "-111 A DESPERATE STRUGGLE. Experience of a Crew Wrecked in the Polar Regions. The story of the crew of a whal- ing-vessel wrecked off Cape Pairy in a drifting fog lS given in Mr. A. H Hariisflon s book, “In Search of a Polar Continent.” The Alexan- de1 at the time was steaming at full speed, and when fi1~=t it struck, the ciew, not seeing anything in front ofthem, thought they had col- lided w1th a piece of drifting ice; but on striking again, the vessel immediately filled with water, so they hardly had time to rush to the boats, which they had great difli- culty in lowering. It was then that Captain Tilton nearly lost his life. Hep was the last man to leave the ship, and just as the boats were being pushed off, he jumped from the vessel, but missed the stern of the boat, and fell into the sea. Luckily, however, he managed to catch a rope that was thrown to him, but it was not without difficulty that ho was pulled into the boat when he had been dragged alongside. i The mist was so dense that they had no idea of their locality, but on reaching shore they saw the rocky headland of Cape Parry looming over them, and then they knew that they had at least four hundred miles yto travel before re- gaining Herschel Island, this, too, along a barren and deserted coast- line 1n open boats, and probably 1n a. raging sea. This wreck occurred on August 16th; yet on August 26th they ar- rived at Herschel Island, every one of them strong and well, and no whit the worse for his adventure. They made the whole journey throyug h rough seas and through gales of wind. Every stitch on their backs was constantly d1 enched Of supplies they carried only thatC scanty po1tion which a whale-boat always has on hand for an emer- gency; nor are the emergencies con- templated of such duration Every now and then they had to put ashore to find fiesh watei and to snatch a few winks of sleep, and I can answer for it that? putting ashore h-ore is no easy matter, for the1e are many miles of coast- line along which it is almost impossible to find a place for landing in a strong wind. These men doggedly held on their course, crossing two large bays, Franklin Bay and Liverpool Bay, until at last they reached the Mac- kenzie Delta, and keeping well to seaward of this, they arrived in a storm which prevented ships from putting to sea. They had made a fine, heroic ef- fort. It had bee-n a case of do or die with every one of them, and they had ca1ricd on a desperate and unceasing struggle, and had accomblishcd an average daily Jour- ney of forty miles 1n an open boat. >1‘ HARD TO PLEASE. “No man on earth 1s good enough for a woman,” she said positively. “That’s right, I guess,” he 1'e_ plied. “I nevei yet heard of a man being able to please one.’ .___,,,.

And the mother has STRONG-ROOM ROBBERIE FACTS ABOUT THESE OHAM- BERS 0F STEEL. Built 0f the Same Material as is Used in the Construction of a Battleship. Although attacks on safes are mcie or less of daily occurrence, it is rare indeed that one hears of. a successful onslaught by burg- lais upon a. strong-room. The most recent case was that which occnired in the West~en1d of Lon- don, when burglars succeeded in gaining access to the strong-room of Messrs. De-benham and Fiee- body and carrying off jewellery and precious stones to the value of grimly £10, 000, says London Tit- 1 s SAFE V. STRONG-ROOM. Indeed, there is a great differ- ence between a safe and a strong- room. The latter, being much larger, are inva1iably built of thicker mateiiai, possess very heavy doors and, consequently, more powerful bolts and locks, and to open them 1s at once a task that demands all the skill and ingenu- ity of the modern scientific burg- lar. Then, again, it is only in the banks, the large corporations, the g1 eat business institutions, and the safe deposits where we find strong- rooms. We get some idea of the enormous strength of these cham- bers bya description of the one-s recently completed for the Carne- gie Trust Company in New York. ‘The strong-rooms here are all built of armor-plate, the same ma~ terial as is used in the construc- t10n of a modern battleship. It is b inches thick, and this shell in turn is protected by a wall of con- crete 12 inches in thickness. The doors, which are circular in shape, are 18 inches thick and weigh 25 tons apiece. Twenty tons of this weight is in one solid mass of ma- terial, 7/ feet in diameter, while the remaining 5 tons are accounted for in the bolt work, and me- chanism operating the lock. There are twenty-four bolts in each door, each weighing 100 pounds. A MARVELLOUS SAFE. A little time ago a strong-room was erected in the basement of an office-building in London for a w-ell known gSouth African syndi- cate which is probably as strong as that just mentioned. In this case the armor-plate chamber is piotected by a lining of solid conâ€" crete into which are laid iron rails, fiang e to flange, and several feetg thick. This material is so hard that it is almost im- possible to drill or chip it away. At a to t it took two men four days to work away two inches of the ma- terial after spoiling £80 worth of tools. Yet, with all these scientific p1 e- cautions, the burglar does occa- sionally break throng h. The mod- ern Bill Sikes is a gclever fellow, who undeistanids the value of cheâ€" micals, explosives and electricity, all of which he calls to- his aid. With a drop of nitro- glyce1ine, worked into a joint 0r crevice, he will blow a steel chamber apa1t or burn a hole into it with chemicals. But this takes time, and that is the principal 1eason why the strong- room is so seldom attacked. Again, too, buildings containing them are inva1iably guarded by watchmen. THE BURGLAB’ S SKILL. Yet it was only two yeais ago that bu1glars succeeded in break- ing into the strong- room of a bank in St. James’ s Street, in the West- end of London, and carrying off a large quantity of gold coin. The bank had only been opened a few weeks, and the appointed caretaker had not taken up his resideice there. This gave the burglais t.he r opp01tun1ty They woiked the‘ way into the basement of the bnihl~ ing from the adjoining house. Their task was a difficult one, because be- fo1e they co1ld reach the st1ong- room proper they had to cut their nay thio-gu h two walls, one two feet thick agnd the other nearly four feet thick. Then, by the use of che- micals, explosives, and i10n ba1s, they f01ced a way into the cham- the gualanteg of a, EOVEIII" 9 ber Ztl'ld secured thf} bOOlIy.

BANK OF ENGLAND SCARE. Then the- gr-eat National Banks attracted the atten~ tion of the w0uld-be robber. Some may 1ecall how the directois of the Bank of England once received a letter fiom a. man saying how he had discovered a secret way into their strong- -room. At first the oili- cials regarded it as a joke, but 11hen a L"box was deliv'ei-edl'. at the Bank a few days later they thought have certainly from the strong-room, and con- ’tained many valuable documents. The box was accompanied by a note in which the writer stated that he returned it because he was an hon- est man, and that if the directors would meet him alone at midnight in the strong- room he would ex- plain the mystery to them. Vciy uneasy in their minds, they made their way to the vault at the appointed time. Suddenly they heard a voice which they could not locate It stipulated that lights must be put out, and when this was done a man entered the room _ with a dark lantern in his hand. He explained how he was connect~ ed with the sewers, and how he had discovered that, by removingl certain stones, he could gain ac- cess to the treasury. The directors 'voted him a pension of £100 a year for life. A FRENCH DODGE; ” Within quite recent' times the Bank of France resorted to a very odd but ingenious method for pro- tecting theii bullion. This consist- ed in engaging masons to wall up the doois of the vaults in the cel- lar with hydiaulic morta1 as soon as the money was deposited each day in these receptacles. Then water was turned on and kept run- ning until the whole cellar was flooded. __._._._r-__ _. - SENTENCE SERMONS. F1iendship is often a severe test of love.
