and made brief exploration; not
more, as was tacitly understood, with
view to choosing the spot for the even
ing encampment than with the purpose
of selecting permanent stopping
place. Du Mesne at length turned to
Law with questioning gaze. John Law
struck the earth with his heel.
"Here!" said he. Here let us stop.
IT'S as we'll as any place. There are
flowers and trees. and meadows and
hedges, like to those of England. Here
let us stay!"
"Ah. you say we'll indeed" cried Du
Mesne. ~and may fortune send us
happy enterprises"
But then, for the houses" continued
Law. Il presume we must keep close
to this little stream which flows from
the bluff. And yet we must have a
place whence we can obtain good view.
Then. with stout walls to protect us,
we might-but see! What is that be-
yond? Look! There is. II I mistake
not, house already builded!" - 81
"'Tis true, as I live!" cried Du
Mcsne, lowering his voice instinctively,
as his quick eye caught the spot where
Law was pointing. But, good God!
what can 1t mean?"
They advanced cautiously int the
little open space beyond them. a glade
but few hundred yards across and
lined by encircling trees. They saw
indeed habitation erected by human
hands. apparently not altogether with

the ground. From the four corners
of the Enclosure projected overhanging
beams. There was an opening in the
Enclosure, as they discovered upon
closer approach, and entering at this
rude door, the party looked about them
curiously.
Du Mesne shut his lips tight to-
gether. This was no house built by
the hands of white men. There were
here no quarters, no shops, no chapel
with its little bell. Instead there stood
few dried and twisted poles, and all
around lay the litter of an abandoned
camp.
"IroQuois. by the living Mother of
God!" cried Pierre Noir.
Look" cried Tete Girls, calling them
again outside the Enclosure. He stood
kicking in the ashes of what had been
fireplace. He disclosed, half buried
in the charred embers. an iron kettle
into which he gazed curiously. He
turned away as John Law stepped up
beside him.
There must have been game here
In plenty" said Law. There are
bones scattered all about"
Du Aesne and Tete Girls looked at
each other in silence, and the former
at length replied:
"This Is an Iroquois war house. MOI
sieur Las" said he. They lived here
for more than month. and. as you
say, they fed well. But these bones
you see are not the bones of elk or
deer. They are the bones Of men, and
women, and children" 1870

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me, March 21.-Mrs.
A. T.. Smith, of this place, says that
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy
for growing girls. Mrs Smith emphasizes
her Recommendation by the following ex-
perience:
My, daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and would
then pass off. In q month she would have
the spells again. At these times sha
would eat very little and was very yellow,
even the whites of her eyes would be yell
low.
The doctors gave us no encouragement,
they all said they could not help her.
atter taking enc box of Dodd's Kidney
course, we continued the treatment un-
til she had used in all about q dozen
boxes, and We still give them to her oc-
easionally, when she is not feeling well.
Dodd' Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of Mrs.
Smith,, for. by SO doing they may save
their daughters much pain and sickness
and ensure a healthy happy future fol
them.

course, how they walked on the street,
but the moment they got to the foot
of the stairs and gathered up their
skirts toes were turned in and each foot
overlapped the other as it was lifted
to the next step. 1t could not have
been possible that the entire 235 were
''bandies"-that is. the opposite of
knock-knees-so the peculiar gait was
due to choice or habit. The athletic
instructor took run up, just to show
how to make the ascent properly, and
she turned her feet out like a soldier.
The inspection attracted the attention
of half dozen men, and they quickly
OWNED its purpose, and had twenty

In a current magazine woman ad-
Nocates the adopting Of children by
childless women. She tells of woman
who had lost her husband and children,
was a rich woman and lonely and sad.
One day she was driving past an 1nstl-
tuition and saw 500 children at play
and ordered her coachman to stop
while she watched them. Becoming in
terested in a very pretty little girl she
noticed, the widow inquired about her
from the authorities, and the upshot
was that she adopted the child. She
had something to live for from that
time on and began again to take an
interest in life. Now, why is not that
as good a work and as interesting one
as any lonely and well-to-do woman
could have? Some years after she
took a fancy to little boy in the same
institution, and later to another and
still another. until she had taken ten
children into her home. OF course 1t
is not necessary, nor would it be ad-
visable in all cases, even where there
is great wealth, to adopt so many, but
if all the chiIdless couples in the world
who have means, or rich spinsters and
lonely widows, should adopt a child or

about Is years ago 1 was taken very
sick. After seven months got over that,
but have never been well since have
suffered terribly with pains in the chest,
back kidneys and head. There was a
disagreeable feeling In the eyes and 1
would be very sick in the morning. My
mind was always gloomy and felt very
low spirited. l had terrible numb spells,
and would have to be rubbed some time
before 1 could get around. Some of these
numb spells were so severe my friends
thought l would not recover from them.
Il tried doctors and medicines, but got
no better. Finally I began the use of
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
REMEDY, as my husband had been most
miraculously cured by it. After using 1t
a short time there was a most wonderful
Improvement
II continued to steadily gain in every
respect until l was cured of all these ter

had now cured my husband and myself
of the most fearful suffering. but this
was not all l now want to tell about
my little girl.
''She has never been well since she was
born. No doctors have known just what
allied her. She was out of her mind most
of the time and had constant pain in her
side. She has had spasms continually,
from six to seven a month.

do nothing for her until I gave her DR..

If our readers will take example from
this case-and such cases are constantly
being reported in the newspapers-much
of the sickness and suffering which rem
ders life a burden will be removed. It is
a fact that DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy does cure.
It is not patent medicine, but the pre-
scription of the most successful specialist
in curing nervous and chronic diseases
DR. Greene, of 101 Fifth Ave. New York
City. He has the largest practice in the
world, and this grand medical discovery
is the result of his vast experience. The
great reputation of DR.. Greene is a guar
antee that his medicine will cure, and the
fact that he can be consulted by anyone
at any time free of charge, personally or
by letter. gives absolute assurance of the
beneficial action of this wonderful medi-
cine.

Repulsive as the operation may ap-

Stiff linen collars promise to be
more worn this spring than for several
past seasons, but even these have
taken on a certain amount of elab-
orateness never before known, by hav-'
ing their edges hemstitched or en-
broidered in white linen floss.
The fashionable models are low turn
over collars, about an inch and a half
wide at the back and an inch in front,
and with their corners either rounded
or pointed. With these are worn, as
a rule, wide ribbons tied in a bow in
front, but soft four in-h hand ties with
flowing ends may also be worn.
More ornate turnover collars are
pade of heavy butchers linen, or a
heavy, closely-woven linen, and are
trimmed with drawn work or embroid-
cry. They are f1atter even than the
stiff linen collars and will prove de-

linen with deep drawn work on the
sides and a narrow border in front.
Other models have sharp points in
front or merely moderately rounded
ones and are embroidered in cross
stitch or old English cut work, and
they are frequently made with cuffs
to match. Figure 8 in the cut is a
white linen stock embroidered with
red and dark green wash silks in the
Russian cross stitch, and figure is a
smart stock Of dark blue silk en-
broidered with red, yellow and black
silks
The shirtwaist illustrated is a cor
rect model for a tailored shirt. 1t is
made with three plaits or tucks on the
side and a small box plait in front in
which the buttonholes are made. The
sleeves are quite small at the top but
of fairly good size from the elbow
down and are finished with narrow
cuffs with which link buttons are
worn. Band cuffs that button are
equally correct, however.
The stock is of the same white linen
as the shirt and is deliberately worked
with raised Irish embroidery and the
belt is also of the linen.

two, the orphan asylums and children's
homes would soon be emptied and one
problem solved. 1t would certainly be
far more interesting and really chart
table for a rich woman to take one Of
these children to bring up and care for
at home than to give large sums for
the support of asylums for them. OF
course it is blessed thing that we
have these refugees for homeless chill
dren, and they have done, and are do
ing splendid work, but they cannot be
a home in real sense. Some women
will say that 1t is too great risk to
take children of whose inherited tend
encies they can know nothing but IS
there much more risk than with ones
own? We never know how they are
going to turn out, but depend greatly

be overcome if the surroundings and

tional it would be for the childless So
ciety woman who spends hours each
day in combing and washing and
otherwise making fool of herself over
a tiny white dog, to adopt one, two or
half a dozen children and expend that
time and energy over them. Now, or
course, no one objects to dogs being

an who is wrapped up soul and body
in little dog, has him sit with her at

silly over him, is abnormal in some

ingly fond of dogs and cats. but there
is limit beyond which common sense
does not go, and we all know women
who have gone beyond that limit in
regard to dogs. There is one woman in

who told a friend of hers that the only

evenings by playing her piano in this

to distribute the wealth of the world a
little more evenly, not to mention the

THE LAUGHING PHILOSOPHER.

There was great philosopher
Lived years and years ago;
And such merry soul was he
They called him Laughing Joe.
For laugh he would throughout the year.
Let things go wrong or right;
Let Fortune smile or Fortune frown
His heart was ever light
And little children every day
Would gather round his place
To listen to his hearty laugh
Or see his smiling face.
But gloomy minded people said
They thought it was shame
A man should be disposed to laugh
At good and bad the same.
At last they gathered in a crowd
And pulled his dwelling down;
They hustled him around the streets
And drove him from the town.
To find a home beyond the sea
Upon a foreign strand.
And never dare to set foot
Upon his native land.
But when they chased him from the
realm.
Those people little knew
What even one good-natured soul
And smiling face can do
Now children seeking after Joe
Would round the ruins stray,
And grieve because the people drove
Their laughing friend away
And long before a year went by
Those bad-behaving men,
Sent messengers across the sea
To coax him back again.
And out they ran with princely gifts
= To meet him at the shore,
And begged him there to live and laugh
In peace for evermore.

Who is to blame?

Surely someone is to blame for the
enormous amount of sickness and suffer

prone to throw the responsibility for their
condition upon some higher power: In
nine cases out of ten this is wrong, for in
most cases the blame lies entirely with
the sufferer.
1t has been shown by constantly demon.

thousands upon thousands of people. that
which people suffer are easily and readily
