Hard muscles and strong body do not depend on the quantity of food you eat but on its perfect digestion and proper assimilation.

 FORE HE FINDS THE SIMPLE TREAT
 MENT WHICH RESTORES USE OF HIS
 LIMBS.
 "People can cure themselves of a good many common ailments at a very small cost if they go about it in the right way,' said MT Hoar, recently. "For instance, have just cured my self of a very annoying trouble. I might have begun to treat it sooner, that's all the mistake l made in the matter. But found the root of the difficulty and 1 picked out the right remedy without the aid of a doctor. ,
 What was the matter with you?"
 ''It was really all in my blood. I first felt twinge in my left foot and ankle in the middle of last January, had little Rheumatism and I knew that really comes from bad blood. Cold simply develops it. Then my hands and feet were cold and clammy even in hot weather, and numb great part of the time. l concluded that my blood was thin and poor and the circu- lation sluggish
 "Did you do something right away to improve your blood?"
 ''No. As long as I could get about all right, I was careless. But finally my feet and ankles swelled so badly that 1 could only tie my shoes half way up. After that my legs swelled terribly, until could walk only short distance before giving out completely, and it caused me great deal of dis comfort to walk at all. Then I felt something had to be done at once."
 tWhat did VOu dO2D
 "It was getting on towards July then, and l saw that my blood had been getting poorer and poorer for six months. l looked around for the best blood remedy that could be found. When 1 read of the cures of all kinds of blood diseases, that had been effect ed by pr Williams Pink Pills, I was convinced that they were just the rem- edy for my case, and so it proved. I could see that they were benefting me before l had quite used up the first box. The improvement was decidedly marked after had taken two boxes.

inspiration will always remain a mys- tery. Ut stands by itself, almost free from the building, and sweeps up- ward with rush that has life in every line. As you ascend it you seem car ried on by the growth of the stairway itself, yet so delicate is it in it's mar velous carving that it has been aptly described as a grand piece of lace in stone. The heroine in s'The Lightning made that remark yesterday about the ridiculous nose of Francis I. A man who could build thing like that had a right to have anything he liked" In the older part of the chateau you find the chapel where Queen Margot was betrothed to Henry of Navarro, and where Joan of Arcs banner was con- secrated: Even that, the banner of the Saviour of France" was burned during the Revolution. Speaking of Joan of Arc, it was here at Blois that her general, La Hire, made his famous prayer. He was an able man but ap made commander-in-chief of the army she said that every soldier in camp at Blois must attend mass twice day. La Hire informed her rather .forcibly that the soldiers would see her in, well in that place where lis so hot that they fed the hens on cracked ice to keep them from laying hard boiled eggs-before they would do that. How ever for her sake La Hire said he would make the men go, and if any man re- fused to renounce sin and lead pious life he would knock his head off. But such was Joan's influence that in three days. every man attended mass willing ly, and La Hire himself, the rough man who had never prayed in his life,
 made the famous prayer that has lived through the ages: "Fair Sir God, I pray you do by:La Hire as he would do by you if you were La Hire and he were God" Within the,chateau each room vies with it's neighbor in claim ing itself as the scene of history.

What the mob did in one day hundred years and millions of dollars have been unable to eface or even remedy. The one part of note now is the famous double staircase, one of 13 hewn stone staircases of the chateau, not counting the small or secret ones, of which some one wisely remarked, ~ ou can go up that stair case and not see yourself coming down." At first sight it appears to be simple matter to solve the mystery of it, but the more you study it the more perplexed you become. It is a douple staircase, or rather there are two circular ones, winding up side by side, each passing under, around and over the other yet never meeting or ever touching. It is like two cork screws of the same size, one within the other. You can mount by one branch while your friend takes the other and you will both arrive at the top the same time, without having seen the other or even known where he was. Yet he was always by your side. To build this chateau eighteen hundred men
 
 years, then for three hundred years it was the home of kings, and history was made within it's walls, and now it has stood for a hundred years with the staircase as it's one and only glory. Now at last we come to the chateau of Blois, which is more famous and the center of more history than all the other places together. Here at Blois we have not the imposing immensity of Chambord, the luxurious furnish ings of Cheverny or the dignity of Chambord, but we have what is in- tinitely more, a chateau alive with the history of the past, the scene of fa- nous deeds and of infamous tragedies. The exterior shows three distinct schools of architecture, but only one is beautiful, the wing of Francis l. That is veritable wonder with it's gar goyles, it's rich carving, and above all it's famous circular staircase. This has not the puzzle of the one at Cham bord, but it surpasses'it in every way. For centuries it has been the cause of wonder and admiration, yet the archi- tect is unknown, and the source of his

which disappeared as you moved your
head nearer, but took indistlnct and

ever seen in his twenty years expert
ence on every bank in the North At

To landsman it might have seem
ed dangerous enough for the crew OF

But the sturdy Gloucester men had
been too thoroughly hardened by the
dangers of their calling to be fright
ened by little fog.
Each fisher, ds he pushed off from

taking. Besides the compass, he had

BEDS AND BEDDING.

Nothing is more conducive to sleep
than a neatly made bed, with snow
white sheets and pillows that give
forth the faint old-time fragrance OF
lavender. Yet this sweet herb is as
seldom in linen closets of the city
housewife as is the large. restful bed
of "fatless" days. So precious has
space become in apartments (and
nearly all the city lives in this fash
ion) that any makeshift which saves
room is used in place of bed.
WORD ABOUT COUCH COVERS.
To the woman who stays in town
most of the summer, linen (or cot
toni furniture coverings are almost
a necessity.
Where money doesn't have to be
considered, linen is much better; that
is, wears better and is cooler than
cotton. But cotton coverings come
too, which wear very well and look
almost as well.
Couch covers are especially easy
to adjust, unlike chairs and other fur
niture, which have to have the covers
cut and fitted to them. But the
couch covers are just straight, wide
things with fringe to them, which
are thrown over the couch and al
lowed to hang straight down around
the sides.
Slips come for the pillows of linen,
or cotton material to match; so that
the whole couch can be turned into
a cool, comfortable thing without the
worry of working over it.

In an instant, however. he dropped
the line, convinced of the futility of
his endeavor. 1t was too late now to
attempt to shift his position. Again
he set the horn to his lips and blew
with all his might. Perhaps the
steamer might not touch him, after
all!
Vain hope! A straight, black
knife-sharp edge of steel cleft the
mist asunder not a dozen yards
away!
In one fleeting second Hilton saw
at its base the snow-white spray
feathers rising from the hubby
foam; saw the iron plates of the
swelling hull, dull salmon color below
the water line and jet black above it;
caught a glimpse of the white face,
and blue, staring eyes of a Morse
lookout, with his clustering yellow
beard and blue seaman's shirt open
at the neck, peering down at him
over the bow twenty feet above; and
then, with a hoarse, inarticulate cry,
the horn still clutched in his right
hand just as he had snatched it from
his lips after his last despairing
blast. he leaped headlong overheard
as far as he could to the right!
While still in the air in the middle
of his leap, he heard the splintering
crash, as the steel tore through his
