Premier Balfour rejected his advice
regarding the strength of the forces
required for the defense of India.

this the animals were inOculated with

Mrs. Anna Potts

Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular

placement or nerve degeneration of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women

male trouble bear healthy children?

pipe Story From Japan.

The Japanese are experts on smoke
rings, and it is said in japan it is con-
sidered no uncommon trick to blow
three rings of smoke in succession,
the second travelling through the first
and the third through both. Some
stage performers are credited with
becoming so expert in smoke blowing
that they are not only able to multi
ply the number of rings thus made,
but actually form Japanese charact-
ers representing words and sentences.
One Japanese juggler, it is declared,
proposed to his wife by forming the
characters representing his avOwal of
love through thin stream of smoke.

An Island Of Wild Horses.

Sable island lies about eighty miles
to the eastward of Nova Scotia and
consists of an accumulation of loose
sand, forming pair of ridges united
at the two ends and enclosing shall
low lake. Tracts of grass are to be
met with in places as well as pools of
fresh water. These afford sustenance
for large numbers of wild horses or
ponies, descended, it is supposed from
stock cast ashore from a Spanish
wreck early in the sixteenth century.
twenty-five years ago it was estimat-
ed that the ponies numbered from
500 to 600, but at present there are
not quite 200, divided into five troops.
