The hot weather months are an anxious time for all mothers, but Earticularly for young mothers. hey are the most fatal time of the year for babies and young children, because of the great prevalence of stomach and bowel troubles. These come almost without warning and often before the mother realizes that there is danger the little one may be beyond aid. No other me- dicine can equal Baby's Own Tab- lets in promptly curing bowel and stomach troubles and an occasional dose given the well child will keep the stomach and bowels free from offending matter and ensure good health to the child. Therefore the Tablets should always be kept ini the home as they may be the means of. saving a little life.

Pills. .There is a time in the life of every girl'when the strain upon her blood becomes too great; when she grows weak; has headaches and back-' aches; when dizziness seizes her and ghe" becomes extremely miser- able. That is the time of life she needs a tonic--a, medicine that will not fail to enrich her blood and give her strength to withstand the changes through which she is pass- Ing. Such a tonic is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They have raised thousands of growing girls out of the depths of misery and despair to a full enjoyment of good health and strength. Among those who have found good health through these Pills is Miss Suddard of Haldimand, Que., concerning _ whose case her mother writes as follows :-"Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been a. great benefit to my daughter who was weak and miserable. She was pale, easily tired and was bothered with indi- gestion. The use of the Pills has brought back her health, and made her strong and active. I am very grateful for what this wonderful medicine has done for her." In the New Hebrides are many islands whose interiors have never been visited by Europeans, for the simple reason that to attempt to do so would be to court certain death at the hands of the treacherous and vindictive natives. A little to the north of Assam, too, almost within sight of the tea-gardens and the pretty bungalows of the planters, is the country of the Padamites, wherein no white man has dared to set his foot for at least five hundred years past. Barbarous People Who Own Alle- gianee to no Government. When the British expedition now operating in Northern Nigeria has completed it work, three hitherto unconquered tribes of savages will have been brought under the do- minance of the White Man. These are the Munshis, the Abadjas, and “the Okpotos. mums muggy Similarly, Dr. Sven Hedin found in Tibet recently a tribe of nomad robbers who did precisely as they pleased, careless alike of the au- thority of the Grand Lama or the Chinese Emperor. The masked Tukregs of the central Sahara de- sert are similarly free and inde- pendent. , The Tchuktches of north-eastern Siberia, although supposed to be subject to Russia, pay no taxes, and recognize no man as master. Indeen, Mr. Barry de Windt, who spent some time amongst them, dis.. covered that they had never even heard of the existence of the Czar. In the interior of New Guinea, for instance, there are more than forty distinct tribes of savages, many of them head-hunters and can- nibals, who know of the existence of white people from hearsay only. They have never even heard of Eng- iand. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the greatest blood builder known to medical science. That is why they cure anaemia, rheumatism, heart palpitation, indigestion, neuralgia, etc. That is why they are of such value to women and girls during the changes through which they pass from girlhood to maturity. The Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or direct by mail at 50 cents a, box or six boxes for $2.50 hom The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. So the civilization of mankind goes on. But it is slow work. For, in spite of all that has been recent- ly accomplished, there are still some millions of barbarous folk left in the world, who own allegiance to no regular system of Government, each doing that which is right in his own eyes.

AR YOUNG MOTHERS _ Never kiclra live wire when it's down. By way of supplement to the fore- going, you should bear in mind how great was the dearth of horses in England when Tames ascended the throne. His predecessor, Queen Eli- zabeth, could muster only about 3,000 cavalry when the Spanish Ar- mada threatened the kingdom with destruction; and, if contemporary writers are to be believed, the qua- lity of English horses was then very poor, Even the horses employed in the hunting-held would seem to have been for the most pare little better than coarse cart-horses. It is apt to be forgotten that Scot- land has been famous for its horses from the most ancient days. When Agricola defeated the Caledonians at the Battle of the Grampians, A. D. 84, the Celtic enemy, as Ta- citus relates, were exceptionally strong in cavalry and charioteers. Successive Kings of Scotland did much to improve its native breed oi horses; and, in this connection, it is not to be forgotten that the first Scottish King of England, James 1., did more to improve the races horses in Great Britain than was ex er done before him or has ever been'done by any individual since. James I. was the real author of horse-racing, as it has since been known, in England. me it was who first established regular courses; and during his reign there came in- to being the code of regulations that led up to the modern laws of the Turf. Nobody denies that horse-racing has done much for the breed of British horses. It was a gift from Scotland. Little Bits, of Knowledge About 'Most Everything. Squirrels can bite deeper than dogs.

Parmelee's Vegetable Pills are the very best medicine that can be taken to bring relief. These pills are specially compounded to deal with dyspepsia, and their sterling qualities in this respect can be vouched for by legions of users. Excited Individual--) this where they swear people?"

Beaten Beast Is Butehered to Help Along an Oriental Holiday. Last Sunday I witnessed a buffalo fight for the first time in my life. It was at; Batu Baker, in Kedah, where such exhibitions are a, mat- ter of weekly occurrence. The ani- mals fought in an enclosure on ever yside by raised platforms for those of the spectators who care to pay for their sport, says a, writer in the Strait/s Echo. Thousands of others packed them- selves close in the arena, itself-- perilously close it seemed to me- and witnessed the fight without payment. These swayed this way and that with the progres of the fight. Sometimes, I am told, the spectators number as many as IO,- 000; on this occasion there were be- tween six thousand and seven thou- sand present. A political speaker was attacking the Government of the day with more venom than reason. A man at the back of the hall at last cried out, "You're wrong, sir!” A little nettled, the orator continued with.. out heeding. Presently, in answer lo another strong assertion, came again, "You're wrong, sir!" The speaker looked angry, but continu- ed on the warpath. "You're wrong, sir!" again rang out. Angrily addressing the persist- ent one, the orator cried, "Look here, I could tell this man some- thing about this Government which would make his hair stand on end.” He flees only to die. The owner of the victorious buffalo slaughters him, cuts him up, distributes the meat among his friends and sends the entrails, the muzzle, the tail and other parts of the animal to his previous owner. A quaint cus- tom is observed. The owner of the loser fires off a gun as soon as he receives his 'present' as an inti- mation that he will get another buffalo within the year to match the victor. The penalty should he not fulfill his words is $100, a, like sum being handed over to him should the bull he challenged not be forth, coming to meet his new competr tor. r -. __ _"" -., "'cr_.-, "You're wrong again, sir I” came exultantly from the critic, as he stood up and removed his hat. His head was as bald as the proverbial billiard ball. Business began 1n earnest as soon as the combatants were loosed. Their heads came together with a thud, they separated, came together again and pushed and strained for an advantage. In all this wild push- ing and straining one saw that the combatants were manoeuvring to bring their horns into play. Again their heads came together, and this time the favorite worked one of his horns until the tip of it was well under his opponent's neck. At once the wounded animal sratched himself out of danger and managed to gore the favorite in the eye. Maddened with pain and rage, the favorite bore down his opponent with sheer fury of his at- tack. The latter fled. The fight had lasted fifteen minutes. With a. sudden jerk upward he lifted the other buffalo clean off his forefeet. Slowly he turned around almost a complete circle his oppon- ent meanwhile being impaled on one of his horns. Then his neck muscles relaxed and the other buffalo's forefeet found ground again. - - Ae _ _ MALAYAN BULLFIGHT.
