DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Morrison because they actually make
good, red blood. When the blood is red
and healthy there can be no debility.
The relation between the blood and
nervous system is such that the pills
have a very decided action upon the
nerves and they have cured many severe
nervous disorders, such as partial pa.
ralysis, locomotor ataxia and st. Vitus'
dance, that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment. Their double action, on the
blood and on the nerves, makes them an
ideal tonic.

LITTLE THINGS AND Bio.
tHerentiate Between the Essential
and the Non-Essentiai.

Little things are often Of great i'm
portance, but when they are so they
are not little. The pinion of a watch
wheel, for example, in one sense Is
little, in another nse it is not so at
all; for when 1t is not perfectly ad-
justed, the watch is worthless for time
Keeping. 1t Is not size that makes q
thing little or great, but its relation to
the end for which a number of things
are combined. If a thing is essential
1t is important. Because so many oi
h people who are always preaching
the Importance of little things fail to
discriminate between the little and the
non-essential, they often make a
wretched mess of the management of
their W and other peoples affairs.
theoretically, If every factor that 0 n
tributes to a result is perfect, the re-
suit will be perfect; but practically,
for want of time, strength and oppor-
tunity, the efficient man is compelled
to neglect some things for the sake Of
others; and, in order to do this and
yet secure the main end, he has to
discriminate between the essential and
the non-essential. The one who Is
thoroughly imbued with the false doc
trine of the Importance of little things,
spends his strength without discrim-
nation, and usually succeeds in miss
ing the main chance.-The Watchman.

4 Strange sight In the French Far

People live on sixteen foot stills in
the remarkable turpentine growing
country Of France. They don these
stills after breakfast and 10 not re-

There are two reasons for the wear

One Is the turpentine gathering. The
other IS tho herding OF the great flocks.
The turpcntine comes from tho mari
time pine. This tree Is tipped, n shin
Gle IS Inserted and from the shlngle is
hung Il tiny bucket into which the tur-
pentine drips. The tapping process Is
like that used on tho American sugar
maple
Young pine trees are tapped low, but
with each years passage the incisiOn Is
made higher, so that ii Is not long be-
fore moSt.Of the trees are tapped TWEEN
y or thirty feet from the ground.
Hence the hugo stills Of the work
men. On these stills they traverse the
fat country, covering five or six yards
with each stride. and quickly and easl-
" they collect the turpentine that over
lows the little buckets hanging high
up in the trees.
1t is for herding also that the stills
are useful The country Is very Tat,
