R---.--'-'" Never Allow Instrument to Stand Close Against a Wall. The dusting and polishing of the piano, whether it be a, new and valuable baby grand, or the hum- ble and more cozy upright, should never be left to the maid, but should be done by the daughter of the house herself. It should be alone with a. fine cheese cloth or linen cloth, or, better still, with an 15 lfill: handkerchief. hThere‘ shou d e neither seam BSU-' em in the dust cloth, sway _ or hardness ttnd, A P I A - piano polish. :2 " Cloudy spots are best removed by pouring a few drops of henzine on the dust cloth, and then rubbing lightly and in the same direction till they disappear. The carved legs should be dusted with a soft brush, as should also the rack and other ornamental trimmings. The piano should nev-er stand close against a wall ; if practicable even the upright should stand fully out in the room. The direct rays of the sun upon it, dampness and drafts all should be cggefully avoid- Toronto "Truth" says: We had no idea how easy and convenient it was to shop in England, until we made a, trial of it recently with that old and reliable firm of Wal- pole Brothers, (established in 1766), 89 and 90 New Bond Street, London W. They also have shops at 108 and 110 High St., Kensing- ton W., 6 Onslow Place, South Kensington and 182 Sloane Street, Hyde Park, End. London, England. In 44 Bedford St., Belfast, and 8, 9 and 10 Suffolk St., Dublin, Ire- land, they also have large retail stores. In Waringtown, County Down, and at 2 and 4 Clarence St., Belfast, Ireland, their great factories are situated, which sup- ply their enormous retail trade. They manufacture Irish table da- mask, household and family linens, cambric handkerchiefs, quilts and counterpanes, blankets and flaw. nels, carriage and travelling rugs, muslin and lace curtains, ladies' and infants' hosiery of every de, scription. This firm has the high- est reputation for honorable deal- ing, and any person wishing to purchase any of their goods, may do so by correspondence, and may rely absolutely on their representa- tions regarding the quality as well as the prices of their products.

Nature demands it as an aid in carrying off the impurities that have Cyl- mulated in tho blood during the In- door life of winter months. But unfortunately thousands of people who recognize the necessity for a spring medicine do not know what is best to take and dose themselves with harsh, griping purgatives. This is a, serious mistake. Ask any doctor and he will tell you that the use of purgative medicine weakens the system but does not cure dis- ease. In the spring the system needs building up-pl-tive-ss can- not do this; they weaken you still more. The blood should be made rich, red and pure-oo purgative can do this. What is needed in the spring is a tonic, and the best tonic medical science has yet dis- covered is Dr. Williams' Pink Pils. Every dose of this medicine actu- ally makes new, rich blood. This new blood strengthens every or- tran, every nerve, and every part of the body. This is why they cure headaches and backaches, rheuma- tism and neuralgia, and a. host of other troubles that come from poor watery blood. That is why men and women who take Dr. Wililams' Pink Pills eat well, sleep well, and feel bright, active and strong. if you need a. medicine this spring try this great reviving tonic, and see the new life, new health and new strength it will put into you.

' When babies are restless, sleep- less and cross it is the surest pos- sible sign that they are not well. Well babies sleep soundly and wake up brightly.

The plant requires a limey, sandy loam, and yields from two bushels of pods planted an acre as much as 40 or 50 bushels of pods and two tons of straw. The seed is planted about one inch deep in rows from 28 to 36 inches apart, and from 12 to 16 inches in the row, when danger of late spring frosts are passed. After planting and during the growing period of the crop the soil is kept loose and open and free from weeds. The crop is harvested before frost in the fall, the plant being loosened by means of a, special plow, then taken up and put into shocks. After drying from 15 to 20 days the pods are picked. It is well-known, too, to Britain's Intelligence department that there are several men of British nation- ality dwelling on the other side of the northern frontiers of India amongst the warlike border tribes- men. Some of these are deserters from the British army, and would meet with short shrift if they were cagght. Luey-"The wretch!

These Pills Cure Rheumatism.-- To the many who suffer from rheu- matism a, trial of Parmelee's Vege- table Pills is recommended. They have pronounced action upon the liver and kidneys and by regulat- ing the action of these organs act as an alternative in preventing the admixture of uric acid and blood that causes this painful disorder. They must be taken according to directions and used steadily and they will speedily give evidence of their benefieial effects. Others are civilian adventurers, ex-civil servants and the like. But they are soldiers ot fortune, ready and eager to fight upon occasion, even against their own country- men; and for the most part they pake a pretty good thing out of it. "Because," replied the promin- ent altlzen, "it lil now a. good town, bar none." - tTevertheless, there are still plums to be picked up here and there. Sergt. Baldock, for example, has just been appointed cavalry in- structor to the army of Mulai Ha- iid, the new Emperor of Morocco.

Some of these were men of low origin-run- away sailors and the like-yet they frequently rose to high rank, and such as survived retired with their fortunes made for life.
