part of the shop hours act, is wide in its

where goods are actually retailed TO the
public and where female assistants are
employed for the retailing Of goods to
the public. the employer carrying on bust
ness in such premises shall provide seats

ton as may be suitable for the purpose,
and such seats shall be in the proportion
of not less than one seat to every three

Wireless TeIegraphy.

II is said that successful experiments
have at last been accomplished in
wireless telegraphy, and this would
undoubtedly be good thing, and rev.
olutionize many ways of doing busi-
ness. One writer has gone 80 far as
to say that wireless telegraphy is the
greatest discovery OF the age. We beg
TO differ. Don't overlook Hostetter's g
Stomach Bitters when you talk about
the great things OF the world. This
peerless medicine has done more to
promote health and settle stomach
troubles than any other stomach med
icine in existence. 1t cures dyspep-
sia, indigestion, malaria, and consti-
patton. 1t never fails. Try it, and be
sure and get the genuine, with private
revenue stamp over the neck of bottle.

WAIrER Q. GAYmART.

According to NJ. /. Hall Schooling
OF Brussels there is very easy way Of
calculating the age TO which human
being may reasonably expect to live,
but it is only applicable if his present
age lies between II and So years. The
method is really an old one, and was
originally discovered by the mathma-
tician Demoivre. who in 1865 emil
grated from France to England, and
became member OF the Royal Socie-
ty. The rule is this Subtract your
present age from SO. divide the re-
mainder by 2, and the result will give
you the number OF years which you
may expect to live. This rule repre-
sents perhaps the nearest solution OF
an insoluble problem at which we can
arrive.

One Vinccnzo Princesvallc, recently
arrived from the Transvaal, started q
restaurant in the Rue MiChelet, where
ho settled down with his wife,
four children and singuNarly intelli-

"Fanny.' In one of the cold nights

hour or two the atmosphere became
so oppressive that "Fanny." who. slept
at the foot of Vincenzo's bed, got up,
and, suspecting that all was not right,
tried TO rouse her master. but in vain.
His sleep, like that Of his wife and
their four children. had become ster-

:wherc the Birds Build Their Nests,

Wood-peckers all use holes drilled
out with their strong bills, the chips
making the lining, If you follow up
series of round holes drilled in the
lecayed branch OF tree, you will
usually comeupon one of these nests,
These birds waste much time and
labor by drilling several holes before
they find one to suit their fancy,
These holes besides forming the
nest in summer, answer for home
male bird drills hole just large
enough for himself and lets hlsmate
weather the winter storms as w1l
Az she can.
The woodpcckers drill new holes
TO-. nests each season, and the old
bid ones are quietly appropriated by
the nut-hatches, the chickudees and
the brown crcepers. Each has her
notions OF refurnishng the borrow
ed homes. The chickudees put down
a soft carpet or rug of caterpillar
silk or spider webs mixed with down
from plants. The nut-hatches age
satisfied with mat of grass.
Wrens, swallows, bluebirds, owl6,
eagles and some hawks, use last
years nests with some slight re-
pairs, or appropriate deserted one
that seems suitable.
A wren will rear a little family in
hole in tree that seems hardly
large enough for the mother bird.
The bluebird and the martin will be
thankful for any boxes nailed about
the garden to assist them in their
housekeeping cares.
BY far the larger portion of our
birds build new nest each season,
though often returning to the same
locality. Then comes that great
army of birds that build not only a
new nest each year, but n new nest
for each brood.--Vick's Magazine.
