\; iiiii EFFECT ‘ - 0r rrvrrs iBanishe‘d Through the Use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills ' Following wasting diseases‘such 'as~fevers, many people find it diffi- cult to regain t‘~eir former strength. _. They become breathless and tired" out at the least exertion; their apâ€" petite is fickle and‘they often feel as though deatlrwas staring them in the face. The trouble lies with the blood which has not returned to its 1. rmal Condition and is lackâ€" ing in the red corpuscles without ‘which good health is impossible. It is at a time like this that Dr. ;Williams’ Pink Pills prove their 'great tonic value. Every dose helps to make new, rich, red blood, which means health and vitality. Mrs. Theodore Foley, Athens, Ont.1 says: "Following an attack of tyâ€" phoid fever I_ was left in a very weak and disheartened condition. The smallest exception left me worn and tired out, and I was hardly able to get around, and paturally felt despondent. I decided to try --Dr. Williams’ Pink ,Pills and they proved of the greatest benefit to me. I am now as well and strong as ever, and can do all my own work, and as we live on a farm, it goes Without saying that there is much to do. I feel, therefore. that I cannot say too much in praise of _Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.” ‘ If you are. suffering from‘the after effects of fevers. la grippe, or any acute disease, you should be- gin to get new strength toâ€"day through the tonic treatment with ’Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.

CRAFT TAILS 0N FISH. ’ One Goldfish So Treated Recently Sold. for $1,000 in Japan. Among the many. interesting arts' in which the Japanese excel is that of the making of fish-tails. Almost everyone has seen the bush-tailed gold-fish, with its four, five, and sometimes six, long tail-s, but it is not- generally known that most of them are not its own? , When the little goldfish are very, very young their flesh is as clear as glass, so that one can see every bone in their tiny bodies. At this time the few that are born with two or more tails are, put by them- Selvcs. and then a queer-looking old Jap, with a great magnifying glass fastened in front of his eye and woe sharp tool's handy, reaches down under the. water and'ci'it-s off the tails of the plain little fish, and I then/three or four of these tails are ~joined on no the backbone where the one was cut off and fastened there with tiny bandages until they grow fast. ‘ The Japanese. who are very skil- ml in, queer things of this kind, grow the finest. goldfish in the worldT'imd it is a very geod busi- ness, for very fine fish of the kind often bring as much as $300 to $500, and one sold 1101: long ago for $1,000. ___>fa____._.

Fashionsâ€"Twelve Cronia's at Ottawa x â€"4,000 Presbyterlans. Mere man is never expected to be able to appreciate feminine fashions, but. this year he can only marvel at. the extreme styles in color and design that. every- where greet the eye. The races provide the great rendezvous for new spring clothes. The scene among the fashionably dressed women there this year was aptly described as a "riot of color." Gone were the soft shades of former years and ‘the garish primary colors in all their rawness held full sway. Reds of the meet. flauutlng shades and blues of vivid hue predominated, but there were also brilliant greens, Noll rose pur- ples and a vivid new tan color. known as "brass." , Of course no one blames Toronto women for these fashions. As a. matter of fact. a. good many people seem to like them. In any case they merely follow New York and New York in turn follows London or Paris. The rods and the blues are supposed to show the influence of the Balkan war, Bulgarian blue and Turkey red being characteristic colors of the competcnts. Men should not grumble, as they are not asked also in honor/of the Balkan war to don the skirts of the Greek militia. » The gowns of this season rcvo'il loss “form” or "cut" than ever before in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Such waist. 'line as there is varies anywhere from the knee to under the arms. The gowns display the figures no. more than they would if hung on clothes horses. Sometimes they resemble balloons and sometimes sausages. Generally they have the bobble effect at the ankle and some- times there is a slash up the side reveal- lng silk stockings or a ruffled undershirt. ’ll‘he stockings often in color match the lat. In the United States there Is an agita- tion to establish American fashions as distinguished from fashions imported from Paris. Perhaps some day there will” be a. similar agitation for Canadian fa~ shions. It is estimated that some of the best dressed ‘women at. the Woodbine spend upwards of $2.000 on the gowns they bought for the races alone. This provides for one dress costing at least $500. which Is considered to be a moderate amount. but which is thought. t9 be the limit of expense devoted to any dress appearing at the scene of fashion, and for six new costumes altogether .for the seven days' racrng. Impressions of Parliament. One of the most interesting chapters in “Getting into Parliament and After." which has just been published by Honor- able Sir George W. Ross, he describes his impressions of the House of Commons as he remembers it when he was first elected to it with the advent of the Mackenzxe Administration in 1873. He describes the happy family of members who took agsnito of rooms with a. private parlor and din- ing room in one of the Ottawa hotels. There were twelve of ‘them. At the head sat Joseph Rymal. "a good carver and 8. generous one." At the foot David Stirton, just as “good. At the centre on one side sat Adam Gordon of North Ontario, and opposite him John Charlton. The others included James Trow of South Perth, Thou. Bain of North Wentworth, David Thom- son of Haldimand, Thus. Oliver of North Oxford. John Gillies of Bruce, Wm. Mag- gregor of South Essex. Galbraith of North Lanark, and Thos. McKay of Col- chester. For three sessions they roomed together and parted with regret. «Severel of them grow up to distinguished careers. but one .cau Imagine thauGeor-ge Ross, though the youngest of them all. was eas- Ily [one of the leaders of the little baud. Particularly interesting are Sir George's Impressions of the changed attitude of mind of members when they sit on the Government to that when they are In the cold shades of Opposition. He says: “I had not been long on the sunny side of the House till I had learned that “free lances“ 'Were not requiredthere. and that one of the first duties of a. supporter of the Government was to preserve a. dis- creet silence on all public questions till after some responsible member of the- .Government had spoken. I might have opinionsâ€"that was all right and quite harmless. whether they were right or wrong. so long as I did not turn them loose on the House. Of course, if my opinions were in harmony with the Gov- ernment all was well, providing the Gov- ernment wanted to hear them. If not, It was purely‘ a. work of supererogation to give them and so I had better govern my- self Accordingly.” The M.P.'s Lack of Industry. At another point he refers to the lack of industry of members of Parliament. “I thought itr-my duty to remain constantly in the Houseâ€"would I take Parliamentary life less seriously later on? Even when It. was a. working day how few attended to the work in hand. Some would be reading the evening papers. others busy with their correspondence or carrying on a subdued conversation with their desk- mntce, while ten or fifteen members near the front. would be settling the terms of an important. Bill or voting millions for the public service. Is that the proper way to “treat, do. act and conclude." as were commanded on coming to "our city ofl‘Ottawa"? ' He recalls the difficulty of dealing with the Parliamentary bore. Perhaps no bet- ter method was ever in practice of squash- ing this particular genus than that put into effect by one Mr. Jos. Cauchon, who afterwards became Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba, and whose name appears at one or two critical points in Canadian history. Sir George recalls that Mr. Cauchon owned a._Jewsharp of generous proportions and secreting himself behind the back row of seats when some speech was becoming particularly long winded, would produce the most distracting sounds from it that ever filled the House. Polnfers to Speakers. Sir George describes the House .of Com- mone’ as the most peculiar audience in ‘the world to address and gives this ad. vice to young members: "The young mem- ber of Parliament should also remember that a good platform style is a bad Par- liamentary style. This may be rather an extreme way of putting the case, but. it, is in the main true. .A. platform admits of exhortation. of the assumption of know- ledge superior your audience, 'of a little schoolmasterlu , but. Parliament. never. Again, a platform admits the dramatic, the emotional and will even allow a. little judicious and dignified burlesque: Parlla. men: has no place for such weaknesses. In Parliament the speaker must be of all other things persuasive. He may be an earnest. as he chooses, but. he must ex- pound ratber then appear to, instruct. He In talking 20th3 equals. and so he must. be deferential. The business before the House In of some importance, there- fore he must. be serious. calm. Judicial; his voice must correspond to his theme and to the normal temper of the House. IIis message is to be received voluntarily, not forced upon the House. To dogmatize anun w. l sorts. Ilia Rufus Isaacs, Attorney-General' for Great Bri . A description of the sufferings of tain, whose resignation has been refused by Premier Asquith. is to provoke opposition; lo lecture the House is to be considered inipcrtinent; to speak often and long is to be a here. The beginner must so adapt himself to the conditions of Parliamentary speak-- ing that he will not offend against its canons of debate, or its unwritten rules of persuasive oratory. Peel, it is said, could play on the House of Commons as on an old fiddle. How many Parliamen- tarians are qualifying themselves for Peel's place?" ‘ _ I Presbyterians Here In Force. ’ The‘ Presbyterians have taken the city by storm. The red badges of the dele- gates to the General Assembly," Wthh‘ has this year attained gigantic proportions. are to be seen everywhere. Anyone who would think of Presbyterians as gloomy and solemn ought to revise his opinions. because the great Congress during the past two weeks has added not a little to the gayety and vivacity of the city. Of the 301,465 members of the Presbyterian Church, over 4,000 representatives answer- ed the call to come to Toronto. A modern Pentecost was the aim, and those respon- sible for the arrangements have, to a con- siderable extent. had their hopes and aims justified. It is always a great pleasure to listen to the deliberations of the Assembly. Com- petent authorities declare that no Parlia- ment of Canada. maintains a standard of debate equal to that of this organization. K‘â€" l‘carls of Truth.

If any one requires a. clear head it is a. teacher of mathematics. He must reason in the abstract, as it were, and full concentration of . mind is necessary if correct results are to be forthcoming. A man writes :" t “I am a teacherbf mathematics and for 15 years prior to four years ago, I either took a. lunch composed of cold sandwiches, pickles,'etc., to school or hurried home and quickly ate a. hotâ€"dinner. _ ' .“The- result was that I went to my afternoon work feeling heavy, dull of brain and generally out of Finally, I learned about Grape-Nuts food and began to use it for my noon-day lunch. “From the first I experienced a great change for the better. The heavy, unpleasant feeling and sour stomach caused by the former diet disappeared. The drowsy Ianguor and disinclination to work soon gave way to 1a brightness and vim in my a-ftern00n work, a feeling entirely new to me. “My brain responds promptly to the requirements putupon it, and what is of more importance, the re- sults have been lasting and more satisfactory, the longer I have used Grapeâ€"Nuts as a food. “My wife had been suffering from weak stomach accompanied by sick headachesnearly all her life.

He has tele- graphed extracts to Berlin, Ger- many, from Advent Bay, giving de- tails of the movements of the expo- dition after it abandoned its vessel, the Herzog Ernst, Sept. '21, 1912. The despateh reads : “The proposal to abandon the ship came from Capt. Ritschcl at the beginning of September. The vessel then had provisions for four months, besides a large supply of condensed foods, and it was other- wise well equipped. ' “The party started for Advent Bay and reached a. but on Wije Bay October 4. Dr. Rudinger, the occanographer, was suffering then from a. half frozen foot, two of his toes being in bad condition. I of- fered to remain with him there un- til the others couLd bring back help. The hut contained a month’s pro- visions. “Dr. Rudinger and I were withâ€" out toolsfsleeping bags, or lights. I 'melted some fat and made lights, and fashion-ed some sleeping bags from salted skins which I found in the hut. Provisions ran out, and we left the hut November 23, hop- ingt-o regain the ship. “We suffered severely, having nothing to drink, but we finally reached a. hurt at Mossel Bay, where we found some hard and mouldy bread.

They had no news of Dr. Dettmers or Dr. Moe- ser,'-the botanist. They said Capt.
