ABSOLUTELY PURE
Sounds at Night,
ABSOLUTELY PURE

Sir David brewster has given an ex-
cellent account of n mysterious night
sound which would have frightened
most persons, but which proved inno-
cent and harmless when tested by q
steady observer. A gentleman heard q
strange sound every night soon after
getting into bed. His wife. who re.
tired earlier than he, also heard the
wierd sound, but not until the husband
had got into bed. For n long time nc
possible cause could be assigned. and
the effect upon the imag ination became
rather unpleasant The husband dis.
covered some time af,crward that the
noise came from the door of q ward.
robe which stood near the head of the
bed. 1t was his custom to open and
close this wardrobe when undressing,
but, ~ the door was a little tight, he
could not quite shut it. The door,
probably affected by changes in the
temperature. forced itself open with a
dull sound which was over in IN in
slant.
And SO many ghost story could be
solved by little attention to tho
sounds resulting from the expansion
and contraction OF woodwork. such as
doors, panels, window-frames, vain
scoating and furniture. Heard at night.

OF furniture in room is often quite

All the hymns, al the prayers. all
the scripture readings are as nothing
unless you make their beauty come into
your daily life, writes Ruth Ashmor G
in the October Ladies' Homo Journal
Take some of the care off the shoulders
of tho busy mother; make life seem
moro pleasant by your gracious thought
OF that father who tolls all day long.
Make it easier for sister to dislike the
wrong and do the right; show brother
the rosy side Of the cross, ard so make
it lighter for him to carry. And do all
this, not with loud protcstations. but
quietly and gently, letting Gods name
be whispered in your heart, and being
only the sister and daughter without
forcing the knowledge that you arc the
Christian. Then, very soon. some one
will realize that your beautiful life Is
lived for Christ's sake, and then you
will represent Him as all women should
not by speaking from the pulpit, not by
giving commands, but by living every
day the life that he would wish should
be yours.

Romance In tho ECC Market.

Some months ago Miss Hanna Dun
can of Beaver Valley, Mimi, while
sorting eggs for market. conceived the
idea of writing her name and address
on one of them, with the request that
the person who found it would CORE.
spond with her This was done sim
ply as n joke, and the girl thought no
more of the matter until she received a
letter from Robert Crawford. n grocer
at Providence, K. l., who had found the
egg in lot he had purchased. The
acquaintance formed in this way grew
into warm friendship Mr.. Crawford
arrived in beaver Valley recently, and
both he and Miss Duncan were pleased
with each other, and they were mar

CreVecoeurs, and my Brown Leghorns

since. from flock of 81 hens at first,
OF which two died in February and
March, and "a were killed for the table
prior to July. l gathered between jan
uary 1 and September l. 6,257 eggs.
Iaklng 43 as the average number OF
mems through the season, this gives an
average Of 145 eggs per hen per sea-
son OF eight months. OF these 81 hens
20 were Brown Leghorns, 6 Light Brah-
mas, Plymouth Rocks. and the rest
were crosses and mongrels. Had the
HOOK been all Leghorns l have no
doubt but that the average would have
peen FULLY 115 eggs per hen.
This production of eggs may be
forced by suitable feeding, and, IN
breeding for profit, it should be done.
Assuming the table given above to be
correct. in proportion Of the eggs laid
at certain ages of the fowl, 1t follows
that to get the full value Of the egg
production we must keep hens until
the fourth year. II. by proper feeding
ana attention, we can cause her to lay
three-fourths or more of that possible
number during the first two years, we
can then fatten her for market, and
NIL her place in the yard by younger
lows. to go through the same forcing
process. 1t is folly to feed and keep
hen for four years, when the bulk Of
ner product may be obtained from her
IN half that time. l should, therefore,
advise fitting her for market. as soon
as she has finished the best of her sec
ca seasons laying, which is usually
about June. The cocks may be kept
till three years old, If desired, but
usually two years will be found the
most. profitable age to market them.
In the "old time" it was a good
flock of hens that averaged so eggs per
annum. Now, an average of 100 is es-
teemed low figure, $50 per head be-
Ing considered the necessary number to
entitle flock to be called good layers.
We frequently hear of instances where
an average Of 200 and upwards have
been produced by small-siZed flocks,
but these are exceptions to the rule.

body.
New blood is made every minute
It goes to the lungs. gets fresh air, and
then passes through the body In pass
ing. it deposits new flesh, fat, bones,
etc. and takes up worn out matter.
This worn out matter goes to the kid
neys. The kidneys filter it out of the
blood and throw 1t out of the body.
That is, when they are we'll, they do.
When your kidneys are we'll, they
act. as perfect filters, to keep your
blood pure. When they are sick, they
act imperfectly. They leave the bad
matter In. Sometimes they take out
the good.
There Is nothing more poisonous than
bad blood.
A proof Of this is rheumatism. It is
simply q blood-poisoning caused by the
bad matter left in the blood by sick
kidneys.
Bright's disease is the kidneys work.

Both kinds Of kidney sickness are
dangerous.
Both can be cured by DR.. Hobbs

one OF the most wonderful facts Of
our body Is this natural filter inside
US. Our kidneys are very important
organs. We don't take enough care of
them. We are sick Oftener than there
is any need for. 1t is simply because
we take no heed to our kidneys.
Sick kidneys show their effects in
many different diseases.
Rheumatism and Bright's disease
are very common. Anaemia, Neural
gia, Pain in the Back, Dizziness, Blad-
der Troubles, Gravel, Diabetes, Sleep
lessness. Nervousness.
These are only few symptoms, or
so-called diseases" Back Of them all
are the sick kidneys.
Once the filters can be made to work,
all these symptoms will disappear.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills
are made principally from the roots of
the asparagus plant, which has q spe-
cial curative action on the kidneys 1t
gives them new life and strength. 1t
helps them to do their work as it ought
to be done. 1t cures their sickness. 1t
cleans and renews the filter.
When the kidneys are we'll you will
feel great difference at once. Your
complexion will clear. and your whole
body will get renewed life and fresh
ness.
This Is the effect Of DR.. Hobbs Spar
agus Kidney Pills on the sick kidneys,
OF the re-vitalized kidneys on the i'm
pure blood.
With a course of Dr. Hobbs Spara-
