\. t 33 Noises in the head are of variouns kinds, and come from a good ux different causes; they are not ways indications of ear disease. Bometimes they are owing to changes in the walls of the blood vessels, in the composition of the blood, or in the force of the blood pressure; or they may be caused by certain drugs, such as quinine and salicylic acid. t The character of the sound differs mccording to the cause that is at work. It may be described by the sufferer as creaking, crackling, buzâ€" zing, puffing, drumming, bubbling, rumbling, or bell ringing. â€"Someâ€" times the noises are so faint that they are noticed only at night or in wbsolute stillness; in other cases Khey are so loud that even the noise of a railway train fails to drown them. In chronic cases the head noises are usually worse when the ufferer is worried, overworked, or out of health, and they seem to be Increased by smoking, or living in The most frequent cause of tinâ€" nitus (for that is the medical name for the affection) is ear disease, sither acute or chronic. If it is owâ€" ing to an accumulation of wax in the ear, the noises will cease K‘r.ompt]y when the wax is removed ; t if the noises come from disease of the middle ear, or of the internal sar, treatment is a much more difâ€" fhcult matter. If the physician can cure or ameliâ€" prate the inflammation, the tinniâ€" tus will be relieved at the same time, and sometimes he can do much to belp it, even when the ear disease itself is incurable. The viâ€" brations made by a "buzzer‘‘ held close to the ear will occasionally give relief, and the noises have been known to disappear after prolonged listening at the telephone. But on the other hand, those things have sometimes made a bad matter worse rather than better! The sufferer must not take the advice of his symâ€" pathizing friends, and put drops of various kinds into the ear. They can seldom do any good, and may make the condition more serious. The trouble may come from so many different conditions that only a thorough examination, by an exâ€" perienced physician, can determine the real cause and the proper treatâ€" ment.â€"Youth‘s Companion. Tiny Tooth Tips. It is most unpleasant when teeth move because they are loose in the gum sockets, but if the mouth is well washed out three times a day with bicarbonate of soda dissolved in warm water, the gums harden and the teeth become firm again. Teeth which from any causeâ€" smoking, neglect, medicine, etc.â€" are in a very bad, black state should be cleaned with powdered cuttlefish, obtainable at a chemist‘s. This should be used three times daily until the teeth are clean, and then no more. After that any good dentifrice. At Territet the King and Queen were motoring. His Majesty was driving and there were no attendâ€" ants. The Queen went into a shop to make some purchases. The King was standing near the car, reading a& newspaper, when an American woâ€" man came out of the shop, jumped into the conveyance and bade the driver to drive her to her hotel. ‘‘Certainly, madame,‘"‘ replied the King, complying with the lady‘s inâ€" structions. In the meantime, the Queen came out of the store, and was surprised to find her husband and the car had disappeared. Both quickly reappeared, however, and Their Majesties laughed heartily over the occurrence> Inquiries as Finelyâ€"powdered charcoal, espeâ€" cially that of the arecaâ€"nut, is suâ€" preme for making the teeth a gleaming white, and keeping the mouth sweet. The â€"charcoal, too, renders innocuous any decaying pieces of embedded food in the creâ€" vices. Few know that sage leaves are most excellent for the teeth. _ The leaf can be rwbbed on, or chopped very fine and used with a brush. The effect is astonishing. A little lemonâ€"juice is another good tooth tonic, though it needs to be used but occasionally. _ In default of toothâ€"powder, comâ€" mon salt mixed with fine soot â€" or either of these aloneâ€"is quite good. The soot makes the teeth wonderâ€" fully white, and the salt not only hardens the gums, but puts a glitâ€" ter on the enamel of the teeth,. American Women Mistook Him For Chaffeur. The King of the Belgians, one of the most democratic of European monarchs, who has been spending the last three weeks in Switzerland, tells the following story : A famous novelist staying at a certain hotel in Canada was so anâ€" noyed by the lack of attention he received that in a moment of irritaâ€" tion he asked to see the proprietor. to the identity of the American woman were fruitless. "I just wanted to tell you," said the author when the proprietor apâ€" peared, that of all the hotels under the shining sun I have never been in one that for unmitigated, allâ€" round unendurable discomfort could equal yours."

TAE SUNDAY SCAOOL LESSON Lesson VÂ¥.â€"The Triumphal Entryâ€" Mark 11. 1â€"11. Golden Text, Zech. 9. 9. Verse 1. And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalemâ€"Since leavâ€" ing Jericho, Jesus and the company of pilgrims with him had traveled about fifteen miles. Part of this journey was through a wild and dangerous country, the scene of the parable of the good Samaritan. On the way, the incidents of the coming of t.fie rich young man to Jesus and the healing of blind Barâ€" timasus have taken place. Of his teaching by the wayside we have already studied in this series of lessons the parables of the laborers in the vineyard and the pounds and the talents; also his prophecy of his death and his words to his disâ€" ciples about greatness through serâ€" vice. Bethanyâ€"A village on the southâ€" east slope of the Mount of Olives and about two miles from Jeruâ€" salem. This was the home of Lazâ€" arus and his sisters, Martha and Mary. Here was also the house of Simon the leper, where Joesus was anointed by Mary (Mark 14. 3; John 12. 1â€"3). Bethphageâ€"A place which cannot be identified. The mount of Olivesâ€"This name is given to the range of hills east of Jerusalem. They are separated from the city by the valley of Kidâ€" ron. The height of the ridge is about 2,600 feet above the Mediterâ€" ranean. Two of his disciplesâ€"The names of these disciples are not given, but it is supposed, from the minuteness of the description given by Mark, that Peter, from whom Mark reâ€" ceived much of the material conâ€" tained in his Gospel, was one of the two. 2. The village that is over against youâ€"Matthew (21.:1) mentions only Bethphage, and his account indiâ€" cates that this was the village to which the disciples were sent. These words seem to imply that the village was off the road on which they were travehng. Whereon no man ever yet satâ€" Matthew mentions (21. 2) that the colt was still running with its mother, and had therefore not been used. _ Jewish tradition demands new or unused objects for sacred purposes. Compare 1 Sam. 6. 7. 3. The Lord hath need of hinâ€" ‘"Lord,"" or "Master,"‘ was tha title so frequently used by the disciples and others in speaking to Jesus that its use here seems merely to indiâ€" cate in general his relation to his disciples. It is quite possible that the owner of the colt was a friend of Jesus and a believer. A coltâ€"A colt of an ass. In the East, the ass is larger and swifter than with us. In contrast with the horse, which had been brought from Egypt by Solomon for use in war, the ass was a symbol of peace. From the words of the prophet (Zech. 9. 9) all Jews expected the Messiah to enter Jerusalem riding upon an ass. 8. Many spread their garments upon the wayâ€"To do honor to him as a king (compare 2 Kings 9. 13). Branches, which they had cut from the fieldsâ€"Matthew speaks of branches being cut from trees, and along this road from Bethany to Jerusalem grew palm, olive, and other trees from which branches might be cut; but the word ‘‘branches‘‘ used by Mark refers rather to the leafy twigs or ‘"layâ€" ers of leaves,‘‘ rushes, and the like, which would make a road easy to travel. This was a form of homage in ancient times which grew out of a desire to make the road smooth and pleasant for traveling. 9. Hosannaâ€"Meaning, save now. Taken from Psa. 118. 25, 26, a prayer that Jehovyah will be proâ€" pitious to his peo&l: Here, it is probably a prayer that the salvation which the Messiah was expected to bring may now be accomplished, though the enthusiastic people And straightway he will send him back hitherâ€"He promises to return the colt at once. 5. Certain of them that stood thereâ€"Luke says it was the owners that asked the question. Perhaps the owners and others were standâ€" ing near and saw the disciples. 7. Cast on him their garmentsâ€" Their outer robes or long coats. As they had no trappings for this colt, the garments would serve as a saddle, though the act of the disâ€" ciples was also one of homage. He sat upon himâ€"The entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in this manner, fulfilling the prophecy well known to the Jews, can have no other meaning than that Jesus publicly announced himself as the Messiah, or rather, he accepted from his disâ€" ciples and others the title which they had long desired to give him. speak the words wiln a an0oUt Of joicing. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lordâ€"In the thought of the people, the Messiah was to represent Jehovah, and ‘his kingâ€" dom would be a viceregency. 10. The kingdom that comethâ€" The present tense is used. It seemâ€" ed to the people that the kingdom was in sight. 11. Into the templeâ€"Upon enterâ€" ing the city Jesus passed at once to the temple, the place which gave the city its -iqnixuuo, while the The kingdom of our father David â€"These words are peculiar to Mark and show that the people, even at this hour, expected a kingdom which, after a long lapse, would reâ€" vive the splendors of the kingdom of David.

But if he stays in Canada that will Holds the British Empire Record for Changing Seats. be a surprise. He has established a unique record, being the only man in the British Empire who has held a seat in four different Houses. He has been in the Maniâ€" toba Legislature, the Dominion House of Commons, the British Columbia Legislature (where he beâ€" came Premier), and in the British House of Commons. He might now be expected to round off his career by introducing his dynamic personality into the rest of the Legislatures and Parliaments of the Empire. Joseph Martin has held a career unmatched in Canadian politics. He left his birthplace in Milton, Ont., when a young boy, and before he was out of his teens ‘he was a telegraph operator in the United States. Then came the panic of 1873, and he returned to Canada to become successively a school teacher, a lawyer, and a profesâ€" sional politician. Wherever he was ard whatever he was at he exhibitâ€" made a stand for Provincial Rights thus winning a seat in the Maniâ€" toba Legislature in 1882. He stayâ€" ed in that House ten years. While there he roused the whole country by stating that "Mr. Speaker was the most urscrupulous partisan he had ever met.‘" The Legislature refused to proceed with business until he apologized. "Joe"" stayed away for several days until his acâ€" tion became a widespread sensaâ€" tion. Then he turned up, and made an apology. which he closed by adâ€" ding, ‘"But it‘s true just the same.‘‘ That was in Opposition. When the Liberals came into power Martin became Attorneyâ€"General in Thomas Greenway‘s (Cabinet. Among other remarkable demonâ€" strations of ‘his individuality he anâ€" nounced that the French language would be abolished in the Beparâ€" ate Schools. This, it is said, was the commencement of the Manitoâ€" ba school question. Was B. C. Premier. Mr. Martin was next heard of in the Dominion House as member for Winnipeg. He sat there from 1893 until 1896, when his dfaculty for disagreeing with other people and standing rigidly for his principles led to his defeat. _ e ed revolutionary tendencies. "He might be a good leader in time : of war, but not in time of peace ; and a mighty poor follower at any time,"‘ so ‘he once was summed up. "Fighting Joe‘""‘ started out not as an ordinary Liberal, but as an extraordinary Radical. He was up in Portage la Prairie, Man., and Then lhe went farther West, and of course soon became a political factor in British Columbia. There, in spite of the dislike of the vested interests and the regular politiâ€" cians and enemies who took a pot shot at him whenever possible, Mr. Martin became Premier of the Proâ€" vince. â€" Lieutenantâ€"Governor Mcâ€" Innes, in a period of turmoil in which ‘Fighting Joe‘ mixed merâ€" rily, dismissed (Premier Semlin, and called on Mr. Martin, who had been Attorneyâ€"General, to form a COabinet. The situation did not please the members, who with Western impulsiveness filed out of the House through oue door as the Governor came in the other to prorogue the House. Martin hurâ€" riedly got together a Cabinet, but in the ensuing election he was givâ€" en a tremendous trouncing, winâ€" mning only nine seats. After that the "stormy petrel‘" bobbed up in England. He was clected member of the British House of Commons for East St. Pancras, London, in 1910, and has since held that seat, where, they "FIGHTING JOE" MARTIN. Hon.

He has made things uncomdfortable for Premier As quith on udrbu xuiom and has especially delighted in ‘"roasting‘‘ Hon. Winston Ohurchill. _He has hotly complained in the House of being left off the Liberal party‘s Whip‘s list and ‘being ignored sometimes by the Speaker. He has while in England found time to give advice and pass judgment on t'!le various Canadian leaders from time to time. He scolded Sir Wilâ€" frid Laurier, gave hints to Mr. Borden, and when Mr. Rowell beâ€" came Ontario Liberal leader, Mr. Martin wrote him a lengthy letter of warning and counsel. _ § Mr. Martin has not told us just where he is going to settle, but if he returns to Canada he will be heard from as easily one place As another. Things We Cannot Do. "‘Father,"‘ said Jimmy, one eveDâ€" ing when they had the porch to themselves, ‘‘can you keep you" third finger straight out while you clench the other fingers on that hand t Jimmys father smiledâ€"not too knowingly. Jimmy had been campâ€" ing with his Uncle Jack and the boys. But he tried it. With his left hand first, for he was just & little proud of doing things with that hand. He often said that if he had not been discouraged in infancy he could have become ambidexâ€" trous. It had been perfectly naâ€" tural for him to handle his spoon with his lefté hand, but his mother had discouraged it. & After Jimmy‘s father had experiâ€" mented a little with the third finger of his left hand he remembered that he had another one. Pretty soon he said, "It is queer, but with a little practiceâ€"â€"‘" "I know a lot of other things you can‘t do,‘"‘ said Jimmy, with calm directness. He dashed into the house, and when he came out he had geveral matches, an egg and a towel. A o *3 Here Is a Good Word for the Bear and the Snake. Boa constrictors and grizzly bears have long been thought of as creaâ€" tures to be dreaded, but Mr. Enos A. Mills, the noted naturalist, has a good word for the bear, and Dr. Frank Baldwin, recently returned from an exploring trip to the Philpâ€" pines, speaks of the snake more syrrgpat_;l_xgtically: than _othervise: 5 ‘"‘You don‘t catch me making a fool of myself trying them," was Jimmy‘s answer. "Now!"‘ he said, putting the matches and towel on a chair, and handing his father the egg. Mr. Mills declares that the grizzly is the most maligned of animals. He minds his own business, except when he is attacked, and lives on nuts, fruit, bark, grass, carrion, garbage and insects, and, as a rule, kills nothing larger than a mouse. Mr. Mills says he is an excellent mouser, patient and thorough in his methods. The egg, still intact, was soon in Jimmy‘s pocket, and the towel was over his father‘s eyes. ‘"Now," he said, "keep perfectly still for five minutes. "‘That‘s easy,"‘ said his father. ‘"You moved your lips," said Jimmy, unwinding the towel and passing his {ather a match. "Put the match across the nail of your second finger,‘ he comâ€" manded. ‘‘Now break it with the first and third fingers of the same hand." When the match, also unbroken, had joined the egg in Jimmy‘s pockâ€" et Jimmy told his father to sit square into his chair, as far back as he could and straight up. "‘Now, daddy,"" he said, ""get up without either bending forward or putting your feet under the chair." ‘"Now. . . .‘ began Jimmy. But his father saw Jimmy‘s moâ€" ther coming, and hastened to corâ€" rect a too hasty impression of inâ€" sanity on his part by reaching for his newspaper. When he had securâ€" ed it he turned again to Jimmy and askedâ€"‘"Tell me, can you do any of these things !" Doctor Baldwin says of the boa constrictor : % ‘‘Now," repeated Jimmy, "put the egg between your two hands lengthwise and try to erush it." _ "All my reading life I have reâ€" garded the boa constrictor with horâ€" ror and aversion. When I got into the jungle, my great desire was to meet a large boa, in order that I might do him some very real harm. When I did find one, my sentiments were those of pity for the snake. He was stretched across the path, and when the natives saw him, they pounced upon him with yells of delight. On the other hand he seemed dazed. ‘‘With a native for every yard of him, holding him firmly, he jounâ€" neyed on legs through the iun?le and down to the beach,. He wrigâ€" gled feebly, and hissed in a hopeâ€" less manner. There they cut his head off, with no more ceremony than they would have used if he had been a chicken, folded as much as they could get of him into a kind of clamshell about three feet in diameter, ‘and built a fire. In an hour he was cooked, and in another hour, this great snake, which had been painfully accumulating feet and inches for years, had disapâ€" peared.

A black speck creeps over the edge of the horizon. Gradually the. speck evolves into a vessel, and soon the eye can discern the funnels, whose sable exbalations have heraided her approach. Nearer and nearer, advane ing at an eighteen knot clip, she forges ahead. Presently the glasses reveal the color of her stacks, and soon the dark dots of humanity clustered on her decks. The Government wireless staâ€" tions have kept us in constant touch ‘wlth the whereabouts of the liner from lLiverpool ever since she passed Cape Race, six hundred and sixtyâ€"fve miles away. "Cast off!" Obedient to the command, the ropes of the "Lady Evelyn" are tossed inâ€" board, and in a trice the little Governâ€" ment steamer slips away from Rimouâ€" ski wharf on her errand to intercept the big ship. A tide is coming in over the miles of rockâ€"strewn flats, engulfâ€" ing the fishâ€"weirs that line the shore, and a lively sea plays pitch and toss with the staunch boat. Though the sky is cloudless, the salt air, pungent with kelp.weed, blows keen and peneâ€" trating in over twentyâ€"seven miles of open water, on whose opposite side may be seen the dark blue outline of the Laurentians. We are to meet the ocean greyhound three miles and a half from shore. Up on the bridge Captain Jean Bapâ€" tist Pouliot, who sped to the aid of the stricken "Empress" on that dreadful morning, is standing directing our course, just a few points off Rimouski Island. Below him, all in uniform, are the quarantine officer and the postal and customs officlals, while the few visitors aboard, The Telegram among them, seek warm places in the lee of the cabins, as shelter from the Labraâ€" dor breeze. A school of porpoises in pursuit of herring show their gleamâ€" ing white sides as the steamer rolls past, and out from Father Point comes the little tug "Eureka," breasting the waves like a gull. She carries the piâ€" lot who will guide the liner on her dangerous route through the shoals upâ€" stream. On rushes the ship that has crossed the Atlantic. . Whiteâ€"crested billows tumble where her knifeâ€"like bows cleave the water. Then, gradually, the "bone in hber teeth," diminishes, she slackens down, backs, and comes to a s;op. as we manoeuvre to get alongâ€" side. Now the liner towers above us like some great steel fortress, her hull agape with rows of portholes, hun. dreds of passengers, craning thoir necks from the white tiers of decks looming aloft. Suddenly a shout from the big boat sets our engine bell aâ€"clanging, and we back off. The "Lady Evelyn‘s" wireless mast spreadâ€" er had fouled and nearly carried away one of the liner‘s lifeboats which, with its companions on the top deck, had been swinging out on its davits over the water ever since the vessel entered the Gulfâ€"a new safety regulation.

This is Bernier, the piâ€" lot, last man to leave the "Empress of Ireland" ere she sank to her grave in sight of the spot upon which we are floating. They dropped him at Father Point twentyâ€"five minutes before the collision. Still as a millpond is the water in lee of the big ship, and a gangway has been let down after much piping of the boatswain‘s whistle. It is steep as a ladder, and one . must cling to its rope sides. Dignified in goldâ€"laced hat and official cloak, the doctor goes first aboard, a score followâ€" ing.

As to whether God was wonbipped upâ€" on the mountain in Samaria or in the temple at Jerusalem He was inâ€" different.

Abiding Reality of the Spirit. What dominated His interest was the problem of life of the soul. Once assured that a man had clean hands and a pure heart, was genuinely moved by love for humankind and had met God face to face in the high, clear altitudes of spiritual fellowship, He did not care before what altar he worshipped, in what language he prayed or by what name he called his deity. There is widespread misinformation about Mexico, the rebellion and the chief characters who figure in the great civil strife that has torn the Reâ€" public to the South for so man‘y years. Most of us have thought of Mexico and its people as the natural habitat for the insurecto, where everybody was ready at the drop of the hat to lay aside his peaceful avocation for the more alluring excitement of brigandâ€" age. This is a mistake, for there is not a people on the face of the earth more calm, lowly or better mannered than the Mexican, and if his history is more replete with insurrection and the general horrors of war than others, you can rest assureld it is not a matter of choice, but that he is forced into it as a last resort to maintain his freeâ€" dom and protect his property rights. Between them there is perfect unâ€" derstanding, despite contrary reports emanating _ chiefly _ from Huerta‘s agents to create dlscorg_. A Villa knows his own limitations outâ€" side of soldiery, and believes in the perfect patriotism and unselfish devoâ€" tion to the cause of freedom for the republic that Carranza manifests, and honestly thinks that Carranza will be to Mexico what Bolivar was to the ‘ar South. "he i A strong libertyâ€"loving man will then be at the head of th nation, and the downâ€"trodden Mexicans, for the first time, will have a voice in their own government. _ y There will then be no more lords of great landed estates running up into millions of acres, which has been the undisguised curse of that unfortunate people for over a century. _ The country will be cut up into small farms, and the peasant will once more sit under his own trees in his cottage home, and vassalage will forever cease. . s But he has no ambition for office; he is a soldier and a fighter from the ground up, and as such is a popular idol. Villa will continue his triumphant march upon Mexico‘s Capitol, and I predict the end of the usurper Huerta to be very near at hand. Carranza, on the other hand, is a statesman of a very high order, and is a great admirer of Villa, whom he diâ€" rects with the affectionate regard of a father for his son. But this is not all of Mexico, any more than the multitude of lazy neâ€" groes at the stations in the South, with their rags and tatters, are types of Americans. Mexico has a population of about 20,000,000, and of this 12,000,000 are peons, and they are always in eviâ€" dence. The remainder constitute a distinct class, having education, traâ€" velled culture, modern methods, fine manners, and are the saving grace of the country, reresenting its commerâ€" clal, intellectual, and superior social Bhould the present rebellion suc ceed, as it is about certain it will, we will soon behold a rejuvenated Mexico, with its old time glory and brilliancy, when these offâ€"scoured tagâ€"endsâ€"these VILLA, CARRANZA AND MEXICO. m en dgue & @4 wl |* 4 of the, great deed, it is only truth to say Q there never woudd h}?\'e been sug m as churches, in distinction to the Church, m disciples of the Master had nop ig." gotten those inward realities of ty spirit which always unite ang paid devout attention to those oumyy forms of ceremony and beliet which always divide.

What wonder that a w ber historian can say that t Church has ever been "more vitg. ly interested in the science of re ligion than in religion itself" It is impossible to remind oup selves too often of what Jesus taught and livedâ€"to recall, both tor our own spiritual health and for the salvation of the world, that pue religion of the spirit to which He lent the authority of His prophet; genius. The issue here is perfect} plain between the one thing which is essential and the many othe things which are nonâ€"essential. And this issue must be faced, regardles of dear traditions and tendo> sens bilities, until that hour at last is come when men shall know tha "God is a spirit, and they that wor ship Him must worship Him im spirit and in truth."â€"Rev. Joh Havnes Holmes. There is a new chiffon danont petticoat with two strips of wha‘le bone to keep it, and the frock worn over it, out about the hips. But 4 not take this to beart as an ind.:caâ€" tion that hoopskirts of the old sort are really here or that the «k irt the summer is really any {sle" about the bottom than ever. =tyles are slow in their developmvm, even though they are foreshadowed for many months, and the skirt of the moment is still far from full at the bottom. ‘This chiffon petticoat, in spite of its balloonâ€"like proportions at the hips, is scant at the bottom, for it is shirred and puffed int slight dimensions. Accordion Pleats Popular. Accordion pleats are much used, and they are welcome. Dhere is the accordion pleated underskirt worn with the long tunic, and it is sure‘y an improvement, from the wearer s point of view, over the straight unâ€" derskirt. For it permits of cas) walking, and at the same time preâ€" serves a straight effect. Then there is the accordion pleated caps.
