W. I. R. THOMPSON ILL.
Thought He Has Suffered Another
 Stroke of Paralvsis

It was feared yesterday by his friends that Hon. w. l. R. Thompson had suf- fered another stroke of paralysis and they were very uneasy about his contii- tion. Mir. Thompson was standing in his back door at noon yesterday when he suddenly fell to the ground. about three feet. He was unconscious when picked up and it was then thought he had sus- tained second stroke of paralysis. Dur ing the day. however, he grew much better, although he is still quie sick. The attending physicians have not yet de- cided whether he had a stroke of paraly- sis or had lost his balance and fallen out of the door and his sufferings had been from the effects of the terrible fall
 It will be recalled thot five months ago Mir. Thompson was stricken with paraly- sis and he was dangerously i'll for some time. He grew better slowly but surely and has been able lately to take long drives. Until he fell yesterday morning his condition was most encouraging In the fall yesterday MT. Thompson sus- tained a bruse on the face in addition to the other injuries. MT. Thompson was reported much improved last night.

0ooD ADVICE FROM
 VARIOUS SOURCES.
Beauty of Expression.


 The most expressive face is not the one which writhes or agonizes with every sorrowful feeling. or twists and sqnirns with every amusing sensation; it's rather the one which retains a calm exterior while the strongest emotions of the soul play upon it with their lights and shad- ows. The face should be the smooth curtain on which the heart exhibits its various pictures without disturbing 1t. Not the stage which requires the shift ing of scenery for every act. The reason why so many beautiful faces are to be found in a convent is in great measure due to the daily habit of composing the features in long hours of mediation and prayer. Unmarred by contending emo- tions, the features are gradually molded into harmonious outlines. To sum up ad- vice on this point-train your features to composure, and avoid all grimacing habits.
 Because good humor is an obliging quality, many women think they must always be in a laugh or 8 broad smile in order to be charming. This is griev- ous mistake. s7-<r
 Don't let any woman imagine that she can ever have personal charm if she lacks sentiment or feeling. Without senti- ment, there is a fatal vein of the prosaic, the commonplace, which will keep her forever. no matter what her other gift, from possessing or yielding the widest influence her sex can claim. There are women who never have a love deeper than the love for their pet poodle; who never know an enthusiasm more ardent than that inspired by new bonnet: whose deepest emotions are caused by the misdemeanors of the cook. But if these are scarcely the noblest of their sex. neither can they be called the most rich in charm.
 ] The nervous woman who wishes to re- tain her youthful appearance should learn to rest. -.-
 Ten minutes of perfect repose with every muscle relaxed. will do much to keep off wrinkles and the look of tension stamped upon the face of the woman who is, to use her own and everybody's des- criptive summing up of her. a bundle of ueryes.-Exchange.

Ayers Hair Vigor doesn't make every ones hair grow to a remarkable length. But it does sometimes produce the most marvellous results. This is because it is a hair food. It feeds the hair, nourishes it; hence stops falling of the hair and always restores color to gray hair.

THOSE WHO CANNOT EAT AND
 DIGEST FOOD.

Mother Seigel made a discovery which is destined to accomplish much good Realizing that three fourths of all our sufferings arise from stomach troubles, that the country Is literally filled with people who cannot eat and digest food without subsequently, suffering pain and distress, and that many are starving, wasting to mere skel tons, because their food does them no good, she devoted much study and thought to the subject, and the result was the discovery of Mother seigel's Curative Syrup. Sold at Druggists.
 We have used Mother Seigels Cura- tive Syrup in our family for three years. My husband was very sick with Malaria and our attention was called to this medicine. He decided to try it. After taking two bottles of it he was cured. Later, I was run down and took it as a tonic and it cured me I cheerfully recommend it as an invalu- able medicine" Mrs. J.

perience in these operations, and of MT
 Denton, of the firm of Swan & Hunter Pumping was continued until the tips of the propeller blades were showing
 and the spur or ram bow was well out of water. At three o'clock the pumps
 were stopped, and fresh row of shores
 was put in position on each side,
 The successful docking of heavy
 battle-ship under conditions by no
 means the most favorable shows the
 utility of floating docks; and, though
 there are divided opinions as to the ri-
 val merits of the exeavated graving docks ashore and the floating structure
 there can be no doubt that the advo- cates of the latter have scored a sub stantial success In the operations in the Medway. It will, perhaps, be re- membered that the United States bat tle-ship Illinois, a vessel of over eleven thousand tons, was recently docked in the same manner. The Americans, however, proceed on @ different plan. In place of poising a ship on her keel, and trusting to shores to keep her up- right, they build into the ships struc- ture docking keels, of the nature of bilge keels so that the vessel sits up- right on level blocks. It Is said that these keels do not detract appreciably, if at all, from the speed of the vessel. This is a statement that would have re- celved little credence a few years ago, but recent investigations into the sub ject have shown that the supposed re- sistance due to bilge keels has been much overrated, especially when vessels are steamlng in anything other than smooth water However this may be, there is no doubt that the extra keels much facilitate docking operations either in floating docks or otherwise, the fitting of the struts being a heavy and tedious operation.
 The new dock is to be lowed out to Bermuda by two powerful tugs, with a third as attendant. It will carry six hundred tons of coal for the use of these vessels and will, therefore, go direct to it's destination. We regret to add that the contractors have had to go to Hol land for the two tugs, there being none of sufficient power for the purpose un- der the British flag.-London Times.

churches can let the ladies social cir cles accumulate enough to have it to give away.
 Mrs. Dr. Kent came up the Monday after and said her father, MT, James Manning, left five hundred dollars for 1 the church to use as they needer most, and she thought they might need 1t now. Another MT. Manning sent them five dollars, and they will only get four hundred dollars insurance. So what they already have is $955, and that is a pretty good beginning, We had one of the prettiest rooms for a vestry you ever saw; also a little kitchen, and it was all paid for. They were working for an organ so as to have one in each room, and the ladies were working for some dishes.
 I think that for all that we have had to suffer such a great loss they all feel that the Lord is with us, and if they will only work in harmony they can once more get back to worship under the old roof.
