The purity of the blood dep>nd upon the kidneysâ€"and the health of the kidneys depends upon the blood. If your blood is weak the kidneys have not the strength for their work anrd leave the blood unfiltered and foul. If your blood is bad the kidneys get clogged with painâ€" ful, poisonous impurities. _ ‘That is what causes your headache with the dull pains or sharp stabs of sick kidneys. And kidâ€" ney disease is one of the most acadly and hopeless things that can attack you. _ The only hope is to strike withâ€" out delay at the root of the trouble in the blood with Dr. Williams‘ _ Pink Pills . They actually make nfew blood. They flush the kidneys clean, heal their inflammation and give them strength for their work. â€" Common kidney pills only touch the symptomsâ€"Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills cure the cause. ‘That is why they eure for good and at the same time imâ€" prove the health in every way. Mr. George Johnson, of the village of Ohio, N. S., gives strong proof of the truth of the above statements. He says : "My son, now nineteen years old, suffered greatly with kidney trouâ€" ble. He was constantly troubled with severe pains in the back, and oftei passâ€" ed sleepless nights. His appetite faild, he grew weak and could hardly do the usual work that falls to the lot of a boy on a farm. We tried several kidney meâ€" dicines, but they did not help him any. Then a. friend recommended Dr. Wil â€" liams‘ Pink Pills, and this was the first medicine that reached the cause of the trouble. He used the pills for a couple of months and I am thankful to say is now as strong and healthy as any boy of his age." There is no disease due to bad blood that Dr. Wiliams‘ Pink Pills will not cure, simply because they mak® new, rich red blood that expels qisease from every part of the body. ‘That is why they cure, the worst cases of anaemia, indigestion, neuralgia, rheumatism, headâ€" ache, and backaches, and the special ailâ€" ments from which women alone suffer.

Geographical Map of Our Celestial NMeighbor Very Accurate. We can draw all the geographical conâ€" figurations, seas, coasts, islands, peninâ€" sulas, mouths of rivers, or canals of Mars with accuracy, says Camille Flamâ€" marion in Harper‘s Magazine, and we can anticipate what district wÂ¥ appear in the lens of, the telescope, for the length of the rotation of the planet is known to the hundredth part of a seeâ€" ond. As the planet turns upon its axis more slowly than ours, the calendar of two consecutive g'ears of 608 days and a bisextile one of 669 days. It is not many years since Mars enterâ€" ed into the sphere of our observation. And onecan say also that there is but a small number of the inhabitants of this world who have observed it in all its details, and of these the most exâ€" perienced is Signor Schiaparelli, director of the observatory at Milan. The geographical map of the planet Mars has just been made with infinate care by the aboveâ€"mentioned astronomer. One might really consiaer it a terristrial sphere of continents, islands, . coasts, peninsulas, gulfs, waters. Moreover, clouds, rains, inundations, snows, seaâ€" sons, winters and summers, springs and autumns, prevail as they.do here; and the intensity of the seasons is absoluteâ€" 1y the same as with us, the inclination of the axis being the same as ours. Our problem of the habitability of the stars is limited to observing the selesâ€" tial bodies upon which the conditions are such that organized matter can exist in a durable form. uo nA s In the planet Mars, the density of a eubic merte of water, earth. or any natâ€" ter is only the seventeenth of what it is here, and the weight is only 38â€" 100the. * x\~ / n A kilogram transnorted to Mars would therefore only weigh 376 gnms there, and a man or woman weighing 70 kilos would only weigh 26 there. g’he years are nearly twice as long as upon our planet. and the climatological conditions seem much more favorable than they are here.

The seed of these weeds that mature in our grain crops, even though it shells out on the field, is with ‘ditâ€" ficulty induced to germinate at a time when it can be destroyed. Some of it can be persuaded to grow by stirring the surface soil directly after harvest, but most of it will not germinate until its gets ready.. Thus nature provides for the perpetuation of the species. i % !. : #4" { .!x'. ?.ll-i ; .'rf‘! i-l‘ n $ K)) TuilPP e AAMODERY Can dnatl OW\ pradd f In the seed laboratory at Ottawa, one hundred fresh seeds of wild mustard were planted in good soil in a box, and under the most favorable conditions only thirtyâ€"five of them could be induced to grow . The box was then placed in thé open air for a week with the thermomâ€" eter below zero. When again put in the germinator, seventeen more of the seeds produced plants, The soil was then alâ€" lowed to become thoroughly dry and again put out to freeze, after which twelve more of the hundred seeds germâ€" inated. This operation was repeased several times, until finally etery seed demonstrated that the mother plant had not lived in vain. *As a rule seeds of the more noxious weeds that grow from the seed alone reâ€" tain their vitality for several years when embedded in the soil. It is highly imâ€" portant, then, to prevent the formation of seed. It is quite evident that many fields throughout Canada have now a sufficient stock of seeds to produce luxâ€" vriant crops of weeds for several years, but by adopting a suitable rotation it is possible to prevent most of the plants from these seeds coming to maturity. All will agree that most districts have their full share of weeds. Like the poor they are always with us, How do we get them?

Most of them were brought in by immigrants. Among them are tumbling mustard and field pennycress or stinkweed. A few plants of each of these have been found in difâ€" ferent parts of Ontario during the past season, and the east will know more about them later. One thing seems clear and that is that the weed pests are now gaining headway at a much more rapid rate than they did twentyâ€"five _ years ago. How can we account. for this? The investigations of the seed diviâ€" sion have shown that the seedsmen are to blame to a considerable extent, but there are many other means by which weeds become disseminated, and which are worthy of consideration. Any farmâ€" er who has land that is annually floodâ€" ed by freshets knows the difficulty of keping such land free _ from _ weeds. Transportation companies, particularly the railway companies, have much . to do with the introduction of new weeds. Most of our noxious weeds are introâ€" duced from Europe. Their seeds are ofâ€" ten brought in with material that is used for packing articles of commerce. This packing material is seattered about on the tground and the seeds soon gerâ€" minate. In three or four years the new weed may be found on a large number of farms. That is the way most of our \weeds come to us. ~The wind and animals of _ various kinds do much to spread weed seeds in a local way. Seeds of many weeds _ are provided with special facilities, _ some like small parachutes as in the Dandeâ€" lion and Canada thistle, by the aid of which the seeds are carried, long disâ€" tances by the wind. Nature _ provided seeds of other weeds, such as burs, with the means of clinging to the wool of sheep or to other animals, in order to insure their distribution. In any case, it is the seed that comes first; the weed curse follows. Stations in the Dense Timber Keep Logâ€" gers in Cloge Touch With Home. Up in the dense timber along the Big Plackfoot, Montana, where the logs are cut that keep the big mills at Bonner in motion, the traveller is often surprised as he journeys through the logging disâ€" trict to see small telephone stations located at intervals in the forest. There are several of these stations, and they enable the logger« to keep in touch with the mills, and, when the drive is in proâ€" gress, with the rivermen as they chase the logs down the stream. C wh These timber telephones are of the greatest service in the conducting of the business of the country. They save a vast amount of time, and in case of an accident or any other trouble they are of indescribable value. During the last two or three years, such telephone line« have come into use in most of the big logging regions. l o C e Sercns Throughout the forests, from the St John to Vancouver, lumber camps beâ€" longing to the same interests are comâ€" nected by telephone, the lines running thence to the saw mills or wood pulg works at the frontier towns, from whic communication can be had eten to the metropolis. iz enE CC It was formerly the custom : of each lumber interest to maintain a force 0 eouriers, like the voyagours of the Hudâ€" son Bay Company, and these hardy men with krapsack, would travel twenty five miles a day through the wilderness over rough forest paths. Now the mill calls each camp in turr at stated hours, and receives reports and gives instructions to the foremen and it is not necessary to dwell on the comâ€" mercial advantages of maintaining such close touch between headquarters . and outposts in any enterprise. Letters are read to men snowed in the forest fifty or one hundred miles away. and answers are dictated by the Jumbermen to a stenographer, who transcribes them in the oifice and ther mails them to their homes. C The relative»contentment among Lh¢ men which is estallished by this frequent communication is highly advantageous to the working foree, and therefore to the employers.â€"Detr@it Tribune.
