These prove that'the long indoor life of .winrtIe-ii has had its effect .upon the ‘blood, andthat a tonic medicine is needed to- put it right. Indeed (there are few people .who do not need a tonic at this season. EBad blood does not merely show it- self in disfiguring erupt-ions. To this same condition is due attacks of rheumatism and lumbago; the sharp, stabbing pains of sciatica Land neuralgia; poor appetite and a. desire to avoid exertion. You can- ;not cure these troubles by the use "of purgative medicinesâ€"you need I a tonic, and a tonic only, and among all medicines there is none fcan equal Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Efor their tonic, lifeâ€"giving, nerve- ;rest-oring powers.

House of Commons it is probable that the Plum-age Bill will be passed into law this session. it com- mands a majority in the House of Com- mons and has the support of the gov- ernment, and it is an effort made to save those rare and exquisite species which are threatenedwlth extinction by the greed of the bird-hunter. The United States 'has already set a splendid ex- ample in this matter, and Canada has now passed a law by which after Jan- uary 1. 1915, it will be illegal to bring Into Canada algrettes, plumestwlngs. quills or any other parts of wild birds. It is time the nations took a hand' in protecting the wild birds for-some ~on the instances of slaughter are perfectly horrible. Take the case of the Island of Laysan, the great breeding-place of the albatros. By the efforts of one man, assisted by a gang of twenty-two or twenty-three employees, that island has been turned from 'a glorious colony of happy birds into a eharnel-house of bones. It is computed that something like oneohalf of the entire species has there been destroyed, and the hideoufi work would assuredly have been com- pleted if the United States had not hap- pily wakened just in time to what was going on. The l‘lumagc Bill of itself will not suffice. Nothing but an inter- nationalegreement will prevent the egret and the bird of paradise disap- pearing from the world forever. Excursion to the Arctic. 'There will be none of ,the‘usual priva- tions and hardships attached to an Arc- t_lc trip in the excursion planned by a London exploration company. For the sum of $1,000 the firm will provide a polar de luxe voyage that includes hunt- ing and fishing. Each passenger will white fox, which he must shoot for himâ€" self. .To make it easy and comfortable for all of the polar explorers, the ship will be fitted with electric lights, bath- rooms with hot and cold water, a com- petent ship's doctor. and a selected chef. as well as a supply of cigars and tobac- co, wines. spirits and mineral water of the best brands and qualities. Dr. Cook or Captain Bernier could not desire anyâ€" thing more. 4 The Search for Knowledge. 'Industrial slums. 'huge armaments. extremes of wealth and poverty seem but examples of the truth that know- ledge wrongly applied may be a curse rather than a. blessing. The seeker after knowledge for its own sake is in no way responsible for the errors of states- men or the faults of mankind. The true disciple of knowledge will evor bear in mind the words of Bacon: “Knowledge is not a couch for the curious spirit, nor a terrace for the wandering, nor a tower of state for the proud mind, nor a vant- age ground for the haughty, nor a shop for profit and sale, but a. storehouse for the glory of God and the endowment of mankind.” , Those biologists who devoted their energiesâ€"and perchance their livesâ€"to the study of the mosquito had no con- ception that they would be the chief contributors to the successful construc- tion of the Panama Canal. Yet the story of the search for knowledge is an endless one. Glance bucket those great names of the pastâ€"Pasteur. Faraday. Hertz, Humphrey'Davy, Kelvin. Lister, Darwin and Huxley.

COLONIAL SYSTEM DECLINE!) . _â€" Portugal Was Once a Leader in Five Oceans. We are almost indifferent among the great transformations of the world. There. are few who notice that Portugal’s colonies in Africa have passed from her control. A mighty imperial system which once included India, South Africa, Guiâ€" nea, Brazil and other vast and Opu- lent domains, has disappeared from the earth. It was no great war that severed ' Portuguese West Africa (Angola) and Portuguese East Africa (Mo- zambique and Gazaland) from the mother country.

' ‘ r I in» In the meantime Columbus had .. s£flofi$fii§ ,2 i ’ discovered America, Spain having seized the opportunity first offered to Portugal. A chain of empires was soon bound in vassalauge to these two kingdoms. Portugal held Brazil, India, South Africa. Gui- nea, with estates in China and Is- hands of the Sea. Yet it was under a Spanish flag that the greatest of Portuguese admirals, Magellan, undertook the circumnavigati-on of the world. Portugal’s clay of real renown was brief. She discovered many remote lands that other kings might- reign, and other nations might amass the wealth of their tributes. She fell in 1580 under the debas-ing dominion of Spain. When she emerged un- der the Brnganzas in 1640 she was never to climb again to the. heights of her old glory. " It is typical of her centuries of laggard imperial rule that the two last import-ant acts of her colonial department in Africa were the sup- pressing of the quasi-slavery of the cocoa. islands and the suppression of the chief industry of Angola, rum. The expenditures of her rule in 1911 were $1,000,000 more than her revenues. f The empire she parts with in Af- rica is 793,000 square miles. She now holds some 8,972 square miles in India and China. The Azores and Madeira are reck- oned as part of Portugal itself. To such an obscure iguomd-ny has sunk the nation of Henry the Navigator, the race of Magellan, the power to which Columbus turned for aid be- fore he looked to Spain. _>In ’ WORLD’S RAREST STAMP. sold it to another collector for a trifling sum, the buyer also being Issued in the Colony of British ignoirant of his great, bargain, U1- Guiana in 1856, timately it- found its way to Europe. and now reposes in the collection of ’ - M.
