An extended clinical use of the Har-
ris Lithia Water prompts me to the
statement that l regard it as one of the
best, if not the best, Lithia Water
known to the profession. In the con-
ditlon of Phosphate Urine, it's action
is marvellous. Its use in the Pneumat-
ic and Gouty Diathesis afford me more
comfort than either the Buffalo or Lon

Rarity of Honest Praise.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Why is II that even with the nearest and
dearest praise is so begrudeed, while blame
is always so freely bestowed? In nine cases
out of ten the former does infinitely more
good and incites to far greater exertion
than the latter. Nevertheless. as rule,
the fondest parent, the kindest teacher, the
most faithful friend often hesitates to
praise, while seldom failing to censure when
the occasion calls for It, There is ever the
feeling latent that the recipient will be I'M
duly elated by any appreciation bestowed:
and parents and teachers sometimes hesi-
tate on that account to express unstinted
commentator, while brothers and sisters,
and even friends, often at heart really be-
grudge the satisfaction and, perhaps, self
complacency they might make by giving
expression to the admiration they may hon
estly feel.
While fattery is ever profuse and easy to
obtain, honest praise is rare commodity,
seldom given even when most deserved, and
grudgingly withheld when most needed.
How often a child feels there is no use
trying simply because his feeble efforts for
the right obtain no recognition, while his
faults are constantly recapitulated; how Of
ten the weak endeavors Of a selfish nature
to "give up" pass unnoticed. while the origi-
nal sin Is constantly commented upon!
Many a puny plant has died for the want
of kindly nourishment that might have
grown strong and vigorous under favorable
conditions and 1t is sad to think that in
many a household where children are APP
parently brought up under the best auspices
the germs of better things constantly wither
away for the lack of the sunshine Of loving
praise and commentator.

She Is a very charming person withal, as
full of vivacity as well bottled champagne,
and frankly fond of masculine attentions.
As a rule, she marries while yet in her
teens, and finds In the nursery compensa-
ton for the delights, of the dance. Thus
her experience of society is apt to be short,
but 1t certainly Is a merry ono while It
lasts. n-fz
Perhaps the distinguishing feature of the
Toronto girl Of today Is ker ardent interest
In philantrophic and Religious work. To-
ronto claims to possess more piety to the
front foot than any other city on the con-
tinent. 1t certainly is q storm center of re-
forms. Reform, social political, moral is
not only In the air, 1t Is in the very dust
Of the street, and that is saying a good
deal, as any victor can testify.
1t Is but natural, therefore, that the To-
rcnto girl should prefer prayer meetings to
poker parties. and discolrses on divinity to
the dissipation of the ball room, and no
surprise Is aroused by the daughter of
merchant prince being an active sympa-
thizer with the Salvation Army, or con-

Sweet and Sensible.
Let 1t not be imagined, however, that the
religious side of her nature is developed at
the expense of the intellectual In ever-in-
creasing numbers she avails herself Of the
magnificent university, where she proves a
provokingly dangerous competitor with the
other undergraduates Nor does she d.
minish at all her social attractivepess by
these loftier aspirations. She is not made
thereby a prig or prude, but remains a
sweet, sensible young woman, pleasant to
the eye and winsople to the heart. In fact,
for Coelebs IN search of wife, Toronto Is
about as safe a place to go as anywhere
in the Dominion.
The prairie cities have hardly been in ex-
istence long enough to develop a distinc-
tive type of girl. To them have come the
daughters of all the other provinces, bring
ing with them their own characteristics,
ard doing pretty much as they would at
home, except, perhaps, as the general
sense of a wider horizon and clearer at
mosrhere may impart a soupcon of addi-
tional breeZinesS to the manner that seems
entirely in harmony with the environment.
Away out in Victoria the English in
fluence noted at Halifax, reasserts itself,
ard is very manifest. 1t is a charming
city, full of delightful young people, but
the tone of society Is distinctly quiet as
compared, say, with Winnipeg, and there
Is even more formality in the manner of
the maiden than in Toronto or Montreal.

DOUBTFUL MEDICAL TESTIMONIALS
Some Startling Statements Sound
Suspiciously Exaggerated.

Many people who read the advertised testi-
monials of wonderful medical cures are apt to
ask themselves the question, 'Can they be true -
While many Of them seem incredible, we are not
prepared to say they are untrue. We know the
statements that the Washington daily papers have
frequently published regarding DIR. Walker, the
great specialist In the treatment Of nervous, brain
and chronic diseases, are true; many of them are
from well-known prominent citizens Of Washing
ton. who on being interviewed, declare 1.-The half
has not been told" and that many Of DIR. Walkers
most wonderful cures are never heard Of by the
public, as he makes 1t an inyariable rule TO never
diyuge a patients name any facts regarding
the case except after full free permission has first
been granted by the patient, and many OF his
most remarkable reservations are concealed from
the public owing to the patients dfhdence.
large number Of the remarkable statements
have published from time to time Of seemingly
impossible cures wrought by DR.. Walker sworn
to before a notary public. and the signers
Wen known, none can doubt their truth. There Is
no doubt that a physician who makes a life study
OF certain ailments, as DIR. Walker has done, for
twenty -four years, of nervous, brain and chronic
diseases, is better qualified and cure them
than the general practitioner, who endeavors to
cover the whole wide range of complaints that
affect humanity.
Although DIR. Walkers practice Is large and
extensive and steadily increasing and his time is
In constant demand, be has always firmly adhered
to his system Of small fees; he never makes q
charge of any kind for consultation, examination
or advice. This places the wonderful benefit of his
great skill within the reach OF ALL In addition to
the large number of callers he daily, he yet
finds time to answer personally the many letters
he constantly receives from out-of-town sufferers
who seek his aid advice. DIR. Walker makes IL
ironclad rule only accept for treatment those
cases he KNOWS he can cure; others candidly
told their condition and sent away.
His well-known sanitarium at 1411 Pennsylvania
avenue, adjoining willard's Hotel, is open daily
for consultation and treatment. Once hours: 10

The White Bear Hotel, Walden Island.
We strip and swim across. dragging the
Sled after US, but the good doctor didn I
fancy that sort of bath. and as a search for
two or three miles along the river showed
us no better means OF crossing there was
nothing to do but turn back 70 the boats.
We were afterward glad we did.
At Nelson Island we had an exceedingly
picturesque camp among the rocks, and
from the mountain top could see Walden

In hopes the men on Walden Island would
see 1t and come out to help US. Finally we
heard dull report and saw a puff of smoke
on Walden mountain. We knew then we
had been seen. This salute was followed by
another and another, and, with our glass
we could discern the men running excitedly
TO and fro on the mountain top. You, who
have never wandered in these icy wastes
