Queen Mary,: of England, surely has all other royal l mothers “stopped.” A certain young, lwoman, who is a great favorite With; lthe royal children, whom she knows l throth their French governess, re-; ,ceive an evidence of the length to which the Queen goes in this respect, ii‘he young woman in question, when ithe little Prince John, a specral pet lo! hers, was ’i‘ll a short time ago, begged to be allowed to send him a {Teddy bear, to replace a worn-out one. be had been in the habit of taking Ito bed with him, after the fashion of many children, royal and otherwise. The Queen, consented that the prince should accept the gift and the friend lltraightway purchased the largest, fat- 'tcst and most elaborate Teddy bear possible, which she dcspatched to the palace. Her surprise was great when the bear came back again to her with, ,a little note from the Queen saying? 2that she always liked the .chiid'ren to. have only the most unpretentious toys, and that as Prince John’s last ,EToddy hear was but a quarter of the size of ‘the present one she considered it would be better to have the same' kind. The astonished young woman lhurriedly exchanged the large, ro- bust and costly Teddy for a most mod- est specimen of the breed. The same treatment is accorded. Princess Mary. Her dolls have always1 been of a simple kind, and she is re-. quired to make their clothes herself,- in the intervals of stitching flarinel petticoats for the poor, with which task she occupies much of her time. *â€"â€"-â€"â€".l‘-â€"â€" ' CAUSE AND CURE OF RHEUMATlSM Due to Impurities in the Blendâ€" Gured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The most noticeable and immedi- ate result of rheumatism is a. mark« ed thinning of the blood, and in no disease does it develop more rapid- ly. Not only does the blood become weak but it is soon filled with im- purities, which the different organs of the body have been unable to throw off. One of the most harm‘ ful of these impurities is uric acid, ' which is formed from the waste products of the body. In health it is readily passed off by the kidneys with the help-of oxygen from the 'red corpuscl-es of the blood. With-- out oxygen the kidneys are unable to rid the system of this acid and it is retained in the blood and dis- tributed to all parts of the body. The weak back, pains across the kidneys and thin scanty, highly colored secretions, which follow, show that the acid. is already in the blood and often leads the sufferer to think he. has kidney trouble. If the disease is not driven out of the l can never bel cured, and the sufferer wfll always; blood, rheumatism be subject to attacks. whene‘ver ex- posed to damp or cold. With each i returning attack the pain becomes1 more severe and complications ofâ€" ten arise, making necessary the use} of habit forming drugs to relievel pain. 5 It is readily seen that the only; way to cure rheumatism is throughf the blood. Dr. Williams’ Pink‘ Pills afford such treatment as they contain all the elements necessary to build up and purify the blood. .~ They increase its oxygen carrying, capacity enabling the kidneys to pass the uric acid from the body work. This rheumatism is reached at' its root and permanently cured. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are abso~ luter free from all habit-forming drugs, and are not an experiment as the following case will show :â€" Mr. W. Studley Lewis. Pilot, Mound. Man, says :â€"â€"“I am a. firm believer in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and always keep some by me in case .of need. A few years ago while teaching school I suffered so much with rheumatism in my arms and shoulders that I had the great- est difficulty in writing on the blackboard, and after trying a num- ber .of remedies without benefit. I was almost in despair, and felt in- clined to abandon teaching. But one day I happened to pick up one of Dr. Williams’ almanaos, and read of the cure of a number of severe cases of rheumatism through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Ell Whitney. the inventor of the cot- ton gin. got the germ of his great idea u from seeing through the interstices of a but an old negro work a hand saw among the freshly picked cotton stored within. The teeth of the saw tore the lint from the seed easily and quickly, and young Whitney (he was barely thir- teen at the time) realized at once that a machine working a number of simi- lar saws simultaneously would revolu- tionize the cotton growing industry. He said nothing to anybody. but 'set to work building models and. experi- menting. Hts difficulties w'ére enor- mous. for be not only had to make his own wheels. cogs. etc., but he had also first to forge his own tools and even to manufacture the paint wherewith to color his many plans and drawings. But he succeeded in the end. and. though the outbrcak of war and other hindrances prevented the invention from being actually placed upon the market until many years afterward. the first complete cotton gin ever con. structed was built from those very models and plans and with scarcely a 7 "’Tl'll tor.

It is at once exceedingly shy and marvelously active, and the rea- son for this strange antic is its in- tense suspicion ot any possible ene- mies, among whom it has come to rec- ognize man as the most dangerous. It is not only with human tracks that the Springbok goes through thls perform- ance. for it does the-same with the tracks of lions or even when it gets wind of a lion. The leap ls exceeding- ly graceful, and the animal covers from twelve to fifteen feet at each bound. it drops on all four feet a; once and immediately rises again, making a clear ' spring without any run. Its usual gait when not pursued is a light springy "trot. The springbok usually travels with its nose to the ground. as if con- stantly on the lookout for the scent of enemies. ‘ FUN IN THE HOME.

Sorrow, worry, jealousy, envy. bad temper, create friction and grind away the delicate human machinery so that the brain loses its cunning.

Humble Beginning of Europe's Great Maritime Agency. Two centuries ago a man who had a :argo to send to the Medltcrrunean' :ont'rivcd to get rid of some-of the risk by inducing a friend to take an men-st with him. It was necessary :0 write out a statement of contract :0 which the guarantors subscribed. this was the first underwriting. These two men happened to be fire juenters of Lloyd's cofl’ee house in London, which was a favorite place for the merchants of the town to rather to dlscuss business or to gossip. Others immediately saw the-advan‘ :nge of the scheme which their col- eagues bud devised, and on the next voyage the risk was parcelcd out imon‘g a larger number of the patrons it the cofl'ee house. Out of thls small beginning has grown the great European maritime igcncy. stlll bearing the name of the humble colIee house proprietor. and which not only writes risks on vessels. but rates them and publishes their at" - rivals at every. port the world over. no matter how small or how remote- ly situatedâ€""Annals of the American Academy." M ‘ Where Abraham Fished. Mrs. Victoria do Bunsen in “The Soul of a Turk” relates a legend con- cerning Abraham which will be new to many readers. She learned of it while at Edessa. the traditional Ur of the Cbaldecs. She was shown there a large oblong tank of water so filled with fishes resting just below the sur- face of the water that their tins and backs seemed almost wedged together so as to form “an almost solid'layer of silvery life." “The guardian of the mosque throws some meal Into the water. and the fish jump high to catch it. a great living pyramid. of which those which Jump the highest form the pinnacle. The tradition is that Abraham as a child fished in the tank; hence the fish were ,consldercd sacred. No single one has "been caught or killed to this day.

Hobblc Skirt Voluminous Compared With Latest Freak of Fashion. Take a look at the peach in tho iingerie gown who has sauntered in range of a quick-firing camera and is pretending she doesn’t know there is a dressmakcr’s scout within a league ‘ r ' Now that you’ve looked what do you say she is wearing? A bobble skirt? Jam-ale! Nothing of the kind! The lady is done up in Turkish pants- loons, the very latest product‘of that emotional insanity which periodical- ly attacks the gown designers. With half an eye you can see that the young persons needs only a veil to shcathe the lower part of her face and she might have stepped from the harem of a pasha for a stroll in the streets of modern Stamboul. The advent of the fashion has stir- red tl'ie'world like trouble in the Bal- kans. In the news it has crowded l for place the rumpus in Spain of the exploits of the bird men. From the Nevsky Prospect to Main street in Canandaigua it has stirred rancor and argument in salons and sewing cir- cles. The head of a great church has cautioned the bishops concerning it: they, were expected to warn their wo- men parishicners that Turkish pants» loons are going a bit too far. i Aldermen have been asked to intro- duce ordinances against it. only to find on returning to their homes that Mrs. Alderman has just received one from Paris. Editors have shot ridicule and sarcasm at it. Paragraphers have filed jests at it. Foreign correspon dents in their letter have traced its progress like a comet over the face of Europe. You can’t beat it. Until the next sarcasm of sartorial insanity comes it will have a place among the models. The skirt is voluminous and its full- ness clings to the figure as Turkish trousers cling. hem. This hem is trimmed in some way up the centre, back and front, or it is deliberately tacked just below the knees so that it gives the appear- l ance of trousers. Usually the skirt is made of satin 2 i and chiffon for afternoon affairs, and of white net and tulle garnished with seed pearls and crystals for evening wear; and that’s as close as imperfect man can come to describing the freak.
