! 2 There is still a very prevalent belief § ‘that rheumatism is due to cold or wet _ _ weather. ‘This belief is probably due _ _ to the fact that when the blood isâ€"thin _ wWand watery there is an acute sensiâ€" 5t Xiveness to atmospheric conditions â€" hnd a change to wet weather often _ .. means a return of the excruciating _ pains. Rheumatism, however, is rootâ€" ed in the blood, and it can only be driven from the system by building _ _ up and enriching the blood. Hot baths gflnd outward applications of liniment _‘may give temporary relief, but canâ€" «* not cure. If the disease is not attackâ€" ed through the blood, it simply fasâ€" â€" _ tens itself more firmly on the sysâ€" tem, and the sufferer ultimately beâ€" ‘comes hopelessly crippled. The truth ‘of this is proved by the case of Mrs. «& Frank Ford, of Calgary, Alta. Mrs. @â€"Ford says: "I was an almost helpâ€" _‘ Jess cripple from rheumatism. _ It seemed to have settled in every joint. My arms and hands had to be bandâ€" _aged. My ankles were so swollen that y‘\il had to use crutches. After doctorâ€" ) "ing for a long time and growing â€" ‘steadily worse, the doctar advised me to go to Banff Springs. I stayed _»â€" ~thereâ€"for eight weeks taking daily baths and returned home poorer in â€" â€" pocket by about $150 and not one bit improved in health. I then entered a _ local hospital, but did not derive any benefit. I was in such constant pain that I almost wished to die, and I felt ~&#ure I would be a lifelong cripple. It was at this stage that a friend who had been greatly benefitted by Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills urged me to try them. I began the use of the Pills _~ _ and after taking them a few weeks *the swelling in the joints began to go a&down and the pain was relieved. This _ greatly encouraged me and I continâ€" ved the treatment urtil in the course _ of three months the cure was comâ€" [ lete. I had thrown away the crutchâ€" S@RPs, could walk anywhere and do my 7 own housework, and I never felt betâ€" ter in my life than I do at present time; and all this is due to the use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. I have also given the Pills to my daughter who suffered from anaemia and she has * gained in flesh and become a strong, healthy girl." Miss Mary Garden, the opera singâ€" er, is of Scottish extraction, and has a pretty wit. When asked if a woman of the world could dress on $1,250 a year, she promptly retorted:; "It may be possible, but what‘s the use?" Lady Cardigan, whose "Memoirs" caused such a stir a few years ago, has many Crimean relics in her home â€"at Deene Park, Northamptonshire, inâ€" *eluding the head of the charger which her husband rode at the head of the famous Light Brigade at Balaclava. Mr. John Redmond has sartorial i ambitions. He is wearing a silk hat Zegith a rather low, massive crown that Qits his striking head. When the ~Sun shines he blossoms forth into a lightâ€"colored trilby and a flower in his buttonhole. He is easily the bestâ€" & dressed man in the Irish Party. There was a discussion at one of the London clubs the other evening as " to the unlucky thirteen superstition. _ _ An M.P., who had been quietly listenâ€" Ing, intervened with the remark: "The best speech for years was based on a %l‘llrase of thirteen letters. It was ake up, England!‘ by his Majesty *Mthe King." That settled the discusâ€" sion. The leastâ€"discussed member of the British Government toâ€"day is Mr. Birâ€" rell, â€"who seems to have relapsed into obscurity. He makes no speeches, and he no longer "Birrells"â€"that is to say, talks charmingly in the "obiter dicta" vein. He looks a tired man, and it is doubtful whether he would not welcome retiral from the Cabinet. If you were to ask General Smithâ€" Dorrien what he thought of the Canaâ€" dian heroism at Ypres his answer in all.likelihood would be: "I always said they were fine." For years he has Baid: "Give me a thousand Colonials who can ride and shoot, and in six months‘ time they will be able to meet with advantage the finest Continengal troops that can be brought againist them." _ If you are suffering from rheumatâ€" ism or any weakness of the blood give Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills a fair trial and they will speedily restore you to health and strength.

"Finally, I quit coffee and the condiâ€" tions slowly disappeared, but one cold morning the smell of my wife‘s coffee was too much for me and I took a cup. Soon I was drinking my regular allowance, tearing down brain and nerves by the daily dose of the neâ€" farious beverage. "Later I found my breath coming hard, had frequent fits_of nausea, and then I was taken down with bilious fever. "Common sense came to me and I quit coffee for good and went back to Postum.

Soldiers as a rule do not take much interest in Parliamentary proceedings. Lord Grenfell, however, is an excepâ€" tion, for he regularly attends the deâ€" bates in the Lords. He has a keen sense of humor, and some good stories are told of him. Once he sent a drawâ€" ing of an episode in some Afghan fighting to an illustrated paper, and, to his great astonishment, found when published that palmâ€"trees had been added.

Sir Percy Girouard, who is helping in the organization that is to give the Army more ammunition, is a notable figure with his monocle. He does not strike you at first as a leader of men, but when you have spoken to him for about half an hour, you change your opinion. A stern disciplinarian, he has the gift of making himself popuâ€" lar, as witness the testimonial signed by three thousand of the employees, when he gave up his appointment as Commissioner of the Railways for the Transvaal. A very anxious sovereign at the moment must be Queen Wilhelmina, whose country the war has placed in such a difficult position. Happily her health nowadays is better than it used to be, and this no doubt gives her greater strength to face whatever isâ€" sues the future may have in store.

Of a morning, taking a walk in Hyde Park, London, there may be met a bachelor who lives in one of the largest mansions in London. He is M.

It would be rather inâ€" teresting to know what has become of that painting. wWORDS OF THE WISE. SLUGS HARD. The Wise Buyer Is the One Who Saves. Benjamin â€"Franklin, the â€" great apostle of thrift, was not a mere pennyâ€"saver. Few men have given their money more generously than he gave his, even when each cent he got was earned only \by industry which even his hardâ€"working neighbors thought prodigious. He saved when saving was necessary, but for that very reason he had money for his friends as well as for himself when the need for money arose. He was just as strong in advising wise spendâ€" ing as he was in advocating timely saving. The wise buyer is the true economist, for he saves his money by usiag it. The storekeeper who knows his business and has a true regard for it desires the custom of the thrifty. His business is to give service, and a man finds more pleasure in serving those who can appreciate what he does than in serving those who have so little regard for their own interest that they know not whether they are served well or ill. The merchant who advertised his goods thereby calls upâ€" on the public to judge his work and declares his willingness to be rewardâ€" ed strictly according to his merits. This barn roof was designed and built by a farmer. If the details here given do not seem clear ask any neighborhood carpenter to lay out the circle and drive the stakes for you. It is difficult to make the details any clearer than this, but no doubt this will be sufficiently explanatory. Take pine boards six inches . wide and an inch thick and bend them along the curved mark, setting them edgeâ€" wise to the ground and nailing them lightly to the stakes by "toeing" them in with nails driven ofirst through the stake and then into â€"the boards. Any size boards may be used for this purpose. The 1x6s were used in this barn. After this first circle is made put more boards on the inside, thus making a second thickness, but being careful not to have the joints coming at the same place in any two thicknesses. Add more boards until the desired thickness or strength is reached and nailing the pieces lightly together.. In the Johnson County barn the hoops were six inches thick. After the desired thickness has been reached bolt or nail all together fast. Use spikes generously or bolts or both. â€" Either or both may be made to serve the purpose just as well. They pull out the nails "toed" into the first thickness and lift the hoops into place. "Lose not thine own for want of asking for it; ‘twillâ€"earn thee no thanks."â€"Fuller. With this last stake as the top or apex of the circle and with the two stakes first driven the curve of the barn can be drawn out on the ground; This is not an exact semiâ€"circle, ~as the bows in this barn were. almost perpendicular several feet above the foundation. With the curve drawn out on the ground, stakes should be driven along it at intervals to hold the boards when bent intoyplace. To make these hoops the barn buildâ€" er figured out how high he wanted the haymow to be. He believed twentyâ€" two feet was high enough and as the barn was thirtyâ€"five feet wide he drove two stakes thirtyâ€"five feet apart on a flat piece of ground. The next step was to run,a line between those stakes and at the exact middleâ€"point to put in a small stake. From this centre stake he ran another line at exact right angles to the first. He measured twentyâ€"two feet out on the second line away from the centre stake and drove another stake. A Bow for a Wagon Bow Barn in _ the Making. mow to the roof. These big hoops were placed three feet four inches apart on centres. The barn referred to is in Johnson County, Kansas. It is sixty feet long and thirtyâ€"five feet wide. The foundaâ€" tion floor contains stanchions for cows and is built of limestone taken from the hillside the barn is on. Above the foundation is the haymow. This was made by standing nineteen great halfâ€" hoops on the foundation and putting sheet iron on them. That made a mow without an inch of waste space, as no cross braces were needed, and it was all clear space from the floor of the (The following article, taken from the Kansas City Star, will be found to be very interesting to farmers who are interested in saving space and providing convenience throughout in this construction of the curved. roof barn.
