We all know the tiresome traveller
who loves to ask the name of each
station at which train stops during
a journey, says the London Chronicle.
A passenger in third-class carriage
on the underground railway had put
this question to everybody in turn as
station after station on the Inner
Circle was passed. At last an old
woman, who had not spoken before.

Torture Of the "Boot."

AS late as in the seventeenth cen
tury and in such civilized and ad-
vanced countries as Scotland, Spain,
Germany ard France, the barbarous
instrument known as the boot" was
commonly used to extract information
from reluctant witnesses, or to ex-
tort confessions from accused persons.
Sometimes the boot was made Of iron
and heated to an unbearable degree
on the foot Of the helpless victim. In
his novel, "Old Mortality" Sir Walter
Scott alludes to it as made of this
metal. But in those rough times four
stout planks hastily nailed together
often sufficed for the purpose. Be-
tween the side Of TIE case and the leg
Of the person it was desired to tor
ture wedges were inserted and ham
mered in. The result was excruclat-
ing agony.

GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL
KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS
RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART.
Mrs. Van Scoy Experiences Dangerous
After-Effects from Grip and Learns
Value of a Blood Remedy.


Value of Blood Remedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, and even con-
sumption.
The story told by scores Of victims Of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base Of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and in every way wretched from
anmmia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness Of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes a statement that
supports this claim. She says:
II had a severe attack Of grip and, be-
fore had fully recovered, rheumatism

months. was ia badly rundown

for a week that could hardly walk. It
kept growing steadily worse and at last

three weeks was obliged TO keep my
bed. My knees were 80 stiff ! couldn Z
bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began 70

alarmed me.
"While was suffering in this way l
chanced TO run across little book that
told about the merits Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements in it im-
pressed me and led me to buy box These
pills proved the very thing l needed.
Improvement set in as soon as ! began
to take them, and it was very marked by
the time / had finished the first box.
-Four boxes made me well woman. "

BRAIN WORK AND BEAUTY.
English Specialist Thinks They Can
not Go Together.

According to an English specialist
who has made a careful study Of the
subject, the reason why women arc
better looking than men is because
they are more indolent and are not
called upon to use their brains az
much Is men are. Hard intellectual
work and assiduous attention to busi
ness, he says, are harmful SO far a.
physical beauty is concerned, A.
proof that his theory is correct, he
points to the Zaros, whose home Is IN
British India Among them women
hold the place which in other coun-
tries is occupied by men. The zaro
woman manages the affairs of state,
gees into business on her own account,
and does not wait for a proposal OF
marriage, but proposes herself; where
as the Zaro man has nothing to do but
cook the meals and look after his chill
1ren. The natural results, says the
scientist, is that the men OF this singu-
lar tribe are very pretty and the wom'
en- are unusually plain.

According TO the Domesday Book, .

little value. owing to the establishing
of another on an adjacent piece OF
ground by the conqueror's half-broth'

From the conquest right on to the
time OF Henry VII, and in few cases
longer, these Sunday markets were
common. Records of them are found
at Bradford, Worcester, Battle,
Launceton and parts Of Durham, Ian
cashire and Lincolnshire.
Launceton, in 1906, gave King John
five marks for a license to change
the day to Thursday; Battle did pret-
ty much the same thing. Despite on
act of parliament In 1449 abollsning
them, some disregarded the act, and
continued Sunday fairs until 1900.
In Wigton, Cumberland, the butch.
ers on Sunday did roaring trade

uncommon thing for worshippers to
bring their joints to church with

custom, protested to London, and goi

SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.
New Material and New Ideas for the
Decoration of Homes.

NEW malCTldl dit6 tNSN tA~esS 49, ~'fO
Decoration of Homes.
The styles of home decorations have
completely changed in the last few
years, and it is pleasant to say that
they have changed for the better
Time was when we hung monstrous
patterns printed on paper against our
walls, and considered them more or
less pleasantly. 1t would hardly be fair
10 say that we considered them beau
tiful or artistic. But they were the
vogue and we're put on. The time
has come when, with our better meth
ods for interior decoration, better ef-
fects can be secured.
In wall coverings, whether they be
of paint, or of kalsomine, or of Ala
bastine-whateve the material used
to cover the wall--the thing desired is
that which has the greatest covering
power, as we'll as permanency and
beauty of color Alabastine. wall
covering ground from Alabaster rock
which means hard white rock-is
the ideal covering for a wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
in our large public buildings, and tn
frescoed designs in the large cathe-
drals and churches, have perma-
nency and an art of which wall paper
is but cheap imitation. These mural
schemes and frescoed designs can be
brought within the reach Of the every
day home. They can be done with
Alabastine, which is permanent in its
coloring. It does not rub off, and it
has the soft effect of pastelle.
A great many people defer the re-
decorating of their rooms not only
because OF the expense but because
of the discomfort of it. With Alabas-
tine there need be no discomfort and
there can be no muss, for all that is
needed is to lay sheet or canvas on
the floor, have your man come in with
a pail, make the solution and simply
brush it on the wall That is all there
is to it, and the room is perfectly
clean and thoroughly renovated.
