vents Daughter's Untimely End.
Pe-idy, Ky.—“ I was not able to do
anything for nearly six months," writes
| Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, "and
} was down in bed tor three months.
I cannot tell you how f suffered with
i my head, and with nervousness and
j womanly troubles.
i Our family doctor told my husband he
j could not do me any good, and he had
< to give it up. We tried another doctor,
but he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, t thought
it was no use for I was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
1 took eleven bottles, and now I am able
to do all of my work and my own
washing.
I I think Cardui is the best medicine in
! (he world. My weight has increased,
and I look the picture of health. "
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know
it will help you, for it has helped so
many thousands of other weak women
in the past 50 years.

*ut WALTER SCOTT’S DOG':>
ferrous Author Was Especially Foot
of Tnese aod His Other Pet«
at Abbotsford.
One of tny pleasant recollections tr
that of seeing Sir Walter Scott out on
» stroll with hla dogs; the scene be
ing In the neighborhood of Abbots
ford tn the summer of 1824. while as
ye* 'he gloom of misfortune had not
clouded the mind of the great man.
There he was limping gaily along with
his net companions amid the rural
•ceres which he had tolled to secure
•nil ioved so dearly
Scott's fondness for animals hae
perhaps never been sufficiently
acknowledged. It waa with him a
kind of second nature, and appears to
hare been Implanted when aa a child
he was sent on a visit to tha house of
his grandfather, Robert Scott, at San*
dyknowe, In the neighborhood of Dry- 1
burgh Here, amid flocks of sheep and
lambs, talked to and fondled by shep- 1
herds and ewe milkers, and reveling
j with collies, he was Impressed with s i
degree of affectionate feeling for anh I
| mals which lasted through life. At a !
j subsequent visit to Sandvknowe, when
i hts grandfather had passed away, and j
ths farm operations were administer- J
1 ed by "Uncle Thomas,” he was pro- i
Tided with a Shetland pony to ride
1 npon The pony was little larger ‘
i than many a Newfoundland dog. It I
walked freely Into the house and was
i regularly fed from the hoy’s hand. He
soon learned to ride the little pony
well, and often alarmed “Aunt Jenny" !
by eant»ring over the rough places In
| the neighborhood. Such were the he
gimnngs or neons intercourse
: animals. Growing up, there was some
thin* extraordinary in his attachment
to his dogs, his horses, his ponies and
his oats; all of which were treatejj by
him, each In Its own sphere, as degree
able companions, and which w*re at
taehed to him In turn.—W. Cham

ORIGIN OF OUR CALENDAR
j - I
Story ef the Year and Ite Day*, as
Now Constituted, Told
Onoe Mere.
I The Julian year constate ef 885t*
lays and exceeded by 11 mlnutea 13 91
seconds the solar year of 888 days 8
tours 48 minutes 48 seconds In eon
!sequence of this, the equinox In the
lourse of a few centuries fell back con
dderably. In the time ef Julius Cao
lar, It corresponded to March 18
,»nd by the sixteenth century It bad
jretrogarded to March 11. It was at
this time that a physician of Verona
lamed Ghlratdl proposed a plan foi
amending the calendar. He died bo
(ore he had opportunity to carry 11
forward, but hie brother presented It
te Pope Gregory XIII., who assembled
a namber of learned men to dlseuss It
.It was passed upon favorably and
adopted, and thus was given te the
jworld what has since been known as
the Gregorian calendar. In 1682 Greg
ory Issued a brief, apellshing the Julian
calendar In all Catholic countries, and
Introducing the reformed one.
The reform of the Gergorlan et new
M the Julian or old, consisted In
j Cropping ten days after Ootober 4,
1682, so that tho 15th was rtekoned
Immediately after tho 4th. Every van
hundredth year, which, hy tho old etyle
was a leap year, was to bo a common
year, tho fourth century, divisible by I
•sur, excepted; that is, 18*8 was t# re
main « Isap year, bn* 17M, 1108 and
1880 were not to bs reckoned as such,
while 8808 was to bs reckoned.
| In this calendar tho length of tho
solar year is taken to bo 888 days 8
hours 48 minutes and IS seconds, the
difference between which and tho true
length is Immaterial.—Tho Christian
Herald.
Sreenwloh Tims.
Standard time has boon so tong in
sso everywhere in tho United States
that most people appear to have for

u on. The tendency is evidently al
most universally te acoept the Green
wich, meridian as the starting point,
and te base all calenlitlons of time
on it. Although the United States
maintain* Its own observatory at
Washington, and prepare sits own nau
tical data, nevertheless, for all prac
tical purposes Greenwich time and
calculations based en Greenwich
time, are universally used In both the
navy and the merchant marine. While
It might reasonably be expected that
there would be seme sentiment and
national prejudice against the accep
tance of Greenwich time as the stan
dard all ever the world, the practical
benefits of a universal standard are ,
lee obvious te be Ignored.

Heeps for Children.
The opinion Is expressed by men 1
who have made a study of exercises
dor health, that <t Is a pity the skip
'plng-rope and hoop have gone out ot
fashion for children.
It is suggested they are more excel
lent mediums for the physical develop
ment than bicycles and roller skates.
The fact that small children are al
lowed to have bicycle*, and conse
quently make no use of nature'i
means of progression, Is offered as at i
objection to them. i
The skipping-rope and hoop requlr*
them to run and walk. Young chi!- j

as much as possible, and. always wltt i

fEAD A HALF HOUR A DA)
How i Housewife W h Intel! gpr-cs
Kept Herself rrom Drifting nto
a Dull, Did ’hfoman.
A woman who has brought, up a big
family on a. small Income, yet bag
managed to keep mentally alert, sayg
It Is due to a Half-Hour club
This club has as Its fixed rule 'hat
half an hour each lay must, be spent
In solid reading There was a leeway
of 24 hours, after 'hat there was ■
fine of five cents ^>aoh lay for fail
ure to get. through the prescribed
reading.
Twice a month 'he club meets for
discussion erf the reading done and to
collect fines of delinquents and spur
them on to freHh effort.
The woman who told of this club
•ays "No one knows what It has
meant to me. When you are the one
woman In a family of boys, have •
bushel basket of stockings to darn
weekly, six children to sew for, les
sons to be heard, it is a big tempta
tion to stop reading entirely or to
fritter spare minutes on novels That
half hour a day of solid reading has
kept me up with the time's, has rested
my body and stimulated my brain,
and. best of all, !t has k"pt me frotn
drifting into a dull old woman, of
whom my sons might love, but would
pity for her Ignorance
Especially If you live |n a small
town Is such a dub of importance. It
la easy 'o stagnate, unless a conscious
effort Is made. The winter season 1*
the time 'o start such a club amosj
yours neighbors. Do not be content
with planning a half-hour reading
dally for yourself You will never hold
to it without Che stimulus of cot,1'
panionship and '.he broadening inter'
est of the fortnightly meetings
WHEN PINS WERE VALUABLE
In Year* Gone By, the Humble Mouso
hold Otenafl Wes Given Much
Consideration.
The custom of making presents ov
New Yea's day Is now practically ob
solete among English speaking peo
ple, the day of gift, giving now being
Christmas. When pins were first In
vented and brought Into use about
’.he beginning of the sixteenth cen
tury they were a New Year’s yift very
acceptable to ladles, and money given
for the purchase of them was called
“pin money." This expression has
since been extended to money settled
by a husband on his marriage for the
private expenses of his wife. Pin*
made of metal, in their present form
were in use some time before the yeat
1543. It was during the reign oi
Henry VII. that "an acte for the t.ru*
making < of pvnnes” was made In
which it was enacted that the pries
should not exceed 5 shillings 8 pence
a thousand. Pins had previously
been made of box wood, bona and sil
ver for the richer classes. Thos*
used by the common folks were mad*
of common wood and were, in fact
skewers.
Bacilli far Consumption.
An alleged new bacilli treatment
for consumption, an alleged discovery
»f a Dr. Friedmann, which has been
widely exploited by a newspaper syo
dlcate. Is discredited by the Journal
of the American Medical association.
In order to secure curative effect*
It Is asserted that these living bacilli
derived from some kind of a turtle
must be Injected deep Into the no*
sics of the patient. The preparation
»f the remedy Is secret “The nse of
the fluid," says the Journal. “Is proto
*bly not without danger. There Is
sot sufficient warrant for any othrn
kttltnde toward Friedmann’s treat
ment of tuberculosis than one of crit
ical neutrality and Judicious skaptl
slsm."
Newest Pest.
The newest pest In the west and
middle west is the dog. Not the prai
rie dog, just the common dog. He Is
responsible for the decline In the
sheep raising Industry. In many
states In the section of the country
once largely devoted to cattle and
Rheep raising, there are more dogs
than there are sheep. It takes thre«
Korh nHrofl r»n trm r\f twn font of WOVPfl
wire to make a fence that will
keep dogs away from sheep. Kansas
had 175,000 sheep and 199,000 dogs
In 1910, according to the secretary of
the Kansas board of agriculture.
The usual answer farmers In the
west give to the question, “Why don’t
you keep sheep?” Is "We can't keep
dogs from killing them.’’
Tata Morgana.
The celebrated Fata Morgana, a
presentation of natural "moving plo
tures” on an Immense scale, which la
occasionally seen In the Straits of
Messina, Is explained by a scientific
writer as being a mirage, such as fre
quently occurs in various parts of the
world. “In fact," he says, “one may
see a mirage any day by looking
:hrough the stratum of air overlying
i hot stove, or adjacent to the side of
i wall heated in the sunshine.” Young
scientists will be Interested In verify
ing this statement
New England’s Advantage.
Here is how the spirits of the wise
lit in the clouds and mock us. "Even
it the risk of arousing western preju
lice, I maintain that New England
md all broken, hilly, rocky countries
lave a decided advantage over re
gions of great fertility, in that human
stupidity and mole-eyed greed caa
lever wholly divest them of forest*—
;hat their sterile crags and steep so
divltles mast mainly be left to wood
