Tired, nervous and irritable, the
mother is unfit to care for her chill
dren, and hercondition ruins the child's
disposition and reacts upon herself.
The mother should not be blamed, as
she no doubt is suffering with back
ache, headache, bearing down pains or
displacement, making life burden.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the unfailing cure for this
condition. 1t strengthens the female
organs and permanently cures all dis
placements and irregularities.
Such testimony as the following
should convince women of its value:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham
"Iwant to tell you how much good Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done me-

troubles | was nervous, tired and ir-
ritable, and it did not seem as though could
stand it any longer, as had five children to
care for. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound was recommended and it has en-
tirely cured me. | cannot thank you enough
for your letter of advice and for what Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done

A friend writes FROM an eastern state
lnqulrlng whether 1t Is possible to Sc
cure the importation of the japanese
luborer as farm hand and wants to
know whether, if he could be obtained
for this purpose, he would be sue
cess From what we know of these
people we should regard them as well
adapted for work on our American
farms. They are trained along agricul-
tural lines from their youth and no
people on earth are making Il closer
study of how TO make q small tract of
land yield a large amount of food.
Then as race they are very fond Of
the soil, its cereal, fruit and Hover
production. They are extremely eco
nomical, will never waste anything IL
they can possibly help it and would
prove the best of help wherever farm
ing was carried on in an extensive
manner, such rs gardening, fruit rails
ing and dairying. The japanese gov
crnmcnt has not favored the emigra-
ton of its citizens heretofore, perhaps
having in mind the need of all able
bodied men in connection with its late
conflict with Russia. Now that the
war is over 1t Is possible that these re-
strictlons may be removed and emf
grafton be at least permitted, if not
encouraged. The conditions in Japan
for the common laborcr are such that
it would seem easy to induce him to
come to this country If he could, for
he there gets but $4 per month and has
to board himself out of that. The
north and northwest are badly handi-
capped today in their agricultural de-
velopment for want of reliable help,
the class of immigrants which are now
coming from Europe being almost en-
tirely worthless as farm hands. We
believe that the importation of one or
two hundred thousand Japs to be set
to work on our farms would be great
thing, not only for the laps themselves,
but more so for the owners OF our
American farms, which are not more
than half worked for want of reliable
help. The japanese have proved them
selves to be much better breed Of
humanity than we had ever believed
before, and 1t is probably true that
there exists toward them none of the
prejudice which attaches to the Chi
nese.

THE QUEER FILE FISH.
Apparently Dead, but Very Wide
Awake, Hungry Bivalve.

Perhaps the most extraordinary
light giving shelllish is the pholas,
or file fish. 1t is a bivalve; that is
to say, it has two shells, which are
open at both ends, and at each end
is cover which fits over the open
ing. The fish stays always in one
place, apparently without any life
or movement, but it is really wide
awake, hungry creature. BY means
of the covers to its shells it can open
and close them just when it wants
to, and out of either opening it
thrusts twelve long, crooked hairy
arms in search of its prey. Eight
smaller arms are generally tucked
away inside the shell.
The pholas is found in all sorts
of situations-sometimes at the bot
tom of the sea, sometimes hidden
away in Jumps Of earth, sometimes
lodged, shell and all, in the heart
of the hardest marble, for the bor-
ing powers of the fish are truly
marvellous.
If you take the pholas out of its
shell it looks like a soft, round pud-
ding, with no instrument for boring
into even the softest substances.
Its two teeth are SO placed as to be
useless for the purpose; SO are the
covers to its shells. The imple-
ment which it uses is broad, fleshy
foot, which issues from one end or
other of its shell, and its method Of
boring suggested to the great en-
gineer, Brunei, in 1914, the way to
make the Thames tunnel, and served
as a model for the machines used
in boring the Mont Cenis tunnel.
The pholas works thus: Fixing
itself firmly by its powerful foot, it
usos it as a center bit, around which
it makes the shell revolve; the soft
edges of the shell begin the per-
foration which is afterward enlarged
by the rasplike action of the rough
interior. Though constantly worn
down, it is replaced by new forma-
ton from the animal, SO that it is
always kept in good condition for
boring.

A DueaI Practical Joke.

Duke Carl of Wurttemberg was
very fond of practical jokes in
his younger days. Once he called
at farmhouse and asked the farm
er's wife, who was churning, for a
glass Of milk. She did not know
her visitor, but went away to fetch
the milk, when the duke seized a
cat which was lying near and threw
it, with ducat, into the churn.
When the old woman returned he
drank the milk and walked away.

tered the house Ia different dress

His Fears Realized.

After acquiring considerable
amount of money in the United
States a young Manchester man re-
turned home and decided to give his
old father treat by taking him to
London to see the sights. 1t was a
great event for the father, who had
never been in train before, and he
commenced the journey with trepi-
dation and many outspoken antici-
pations of dire events to follow. All
went well until the train suddenly
dashed into a tunnel. Bang went

Pathetic Little polIs.

Some Of the Indian women have
a very pathetic custom. When an
Indian girl dies her mother often
substitutes doll for the lost little
one. She fills the empty cradle
with feathers arranged in the form
of child, and carries this about
as she did her child, grooming to it
and caressing it. Sometimes, in
stead of doing this, she ties the
clothes, toys and other articles be-
longing to the little one, and fasten-
ing them to the cradle board carries
it as she originally did her child.
The Ojibways call these "unlucky
dolls" because they represent the
dead, but the Indian woman's idea
is that the little dead child is too
small to find its way to paradise,
and that by substituting the doll
she will assist it to get there.

A eloantio senweod.

The giant of the seaweed family
and the largest known species of
marine algae bears the scientific
name of nerocystis. 1t occasionally
attains length of 800 feet and is
kept afoat on the oceans surface on
account of being buoyed by bladder
like enlargements of the stem, which
are filled with air. AS the plant
grows older these globose, bladder
like excrescences swell into great
retort shape cylinders six to seven
feet in length and between four and
five feet in diameter. Where this
plant grows in any considerable
quantity it becomes impossible for
small craft to pass through them
on account of the density of the
floating mass of vegetation. The
natives of tropical islands use the
bladder-like engagements mentioned
for water vessels and for storing
away grain.

Irish Typos.

Three types at least are observa-
BILE in the south of Ireland-frst,
the dark Italian looking Celt, also
found in Devon; secondly, the tall,
yellow haired Danish type, and,
thirdly, the aboriginal Aryan of the
Volga, with red or auburn hair and
blue or green eyes, who may also
be found in Cornwall.
The dark aquiline type of Wales
differs considerably from that of the
Irish, and the Irish language is near
er akin to Cornish than to Welsh.
The traditional Irishman Of carica-
lures is not often seen in the south,
though this type is not unknown
even among the upper classes.

HISTORY IN ART.
Customs and Ideas Of Ancient Nations
Shown In Their Buildings.


Almost as much can be learned
about ancient nations from looking
at what they made or built as by
reading their writings and inscrip-
tions. For the kind Of buildings that
any nation erected depended on sew
,ral different things-climate, geog-
raphy, building materials, religion
and government.
People in snowy Scotland, for in
stance, needed very different build
ings from those who lived in sunny
Italy. Some countries had forests
and built many wooden houses, 9th
ers had great quarries and so made
use of massive stone, and other
countries that had little stone or
wood, but had great beds of clay,
like ancient Syria, built their pal
aces and temples of burned clay
made into bricks. People who lived
among the mountains or by the sea,
as did the people of Greece and TIA
ly, built differently from those who
lived on the level plains of Asia or
Africa. Some nations had many
gods and built temples for the kind
of worship that their particular re-
ligion required. Christian nations
lavished their skill and money on
grand cathedrals, converts and
cloisters.
In countries where the ruler was
a despot great palaces were built by
slaves, but where there was no great
monarch, as in ancient Greece, there
were no grand private buildings, but
the finest work was put into great
public buildings for the people.
Yes, if all the books and records
in the world were burned we should
still be able to trace the customs
and ideas Of ancient nations by the
structures and works Of art that
they have left.-Lucia Ames Mead
in st. Nicholas.
