Indian Cure for Neuralgia.

Here is a simple method of curing
facial neuralgia. If the neuralgia is in
the right side of the face the left
should be placed in a basin of water as
hot as can be borne. Or if neuralgia is
in the left side of the face then the
right hand should be placed in the hot
water. It is asserted that in this way
relief may be obtained in less than five
minutes. The explanation is that the
two nerves which have the greatest
number of tactile nerve endings are the
fifth and the medium nerves. AS the
fibers of these two nerves cross any
impulse conveyed to the left hand will
affect the right side of the face, or if
applied to the right hand will affect the
left side of the face. This is on account
of the crossing of the cords.-East In

MARK TWAIN ON SLAVERY.

Incident of the HumOrist's BOyhOOd
Days Revealed Its Tragic Side.
In my schoolboy days / had no aver
sion to slavery, says Mark Twain in
the North American Review. 1 was
not aware that there was anything
wrong about it. No one arraigned it
IN my hearing; the local papers said
nothing against it: the local pulpit
taught us that God approved it, that it
was a holy thing, and the doubter need
only look in the Bible If he wished to
settle his mind-and then the texts
were read aloud to us to make the
matter sure; if the slaves themselves
had an aversion to slavery they were
wise and said nothing. In Hannibal
we seldom saw a slave misused on the
farm, never.
There was, however, one small Incl
Cent of my boyhood days which touch
ed this matter, and 1t must have meant
a good deal to me or 1t would not have
stayed in my memory, clear and sharp,
vivid and shadOwless, all these slow
drifting years. We had a little slave
boy whom we had hired from some one
there in Hannibal. He was from the
eastern shore of Maryland and had
been brought away from his family and
his friends half way across the Arneri-
can continent and sold. He was a
CHEEKY spirit, innocent and gentle, and
the noisiest creature that ever was, per-
haps. All day long he was singing,
whistling, yelling, devastating, unen-
durable. At last, one day 1 lost all
my temper and went raging to my
mother and said Sandy had been sing
ing for an hour, without a single break,
and l couldn't stand it, and wouldn't
she please shut him up. The tears
came into her eyes and her lip trem-
bled and she said something like this
"Poor thing, when he sings 1t shows
that he Is not remembering, and that
comforts me; but when he is still 1 am
afraid he is thinking and 1 cannot
bear it. He will never see his mother
again; if he can sing l must not hinder
1t, but be thankful for it. If you were
older you would understand me; then
that friendless child's noise would
make you glad"

Women Who Wear Well.

II IS astonishing how great change q
lew years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
Of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
neSses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form Of its
fairness.

Splendid April Tonic.


This is known as "Blood-Cleaning
Time" especially among the older
folks, who always take something dur
ing this month to clean the blood Of
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by a well-known authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak-
ing well in a bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which becomes impov-
erished and almost sour after the win
ter season, especially those who are
subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid
ney and Bladder trouble.
1t is said that one weeks use of this
mixture will clear the skin Of sores,
pimples or boils.
This is sound, healthy advice, which
will be appreciated by many readers.

Previous to coming here 1 farmed in
Baldwin, st. Croix County, Wis, and
as l have heard great deal about the
Canadian Northwest, decided to take
a trip there and see the country for
myself. l was so impressed with the
richness of the soil that l bought half
a section of land about five miles from
the town of Saltcoats l moved on to
the land the following June, and that
year 1 broke 90 acres, which 1 crop
ped in 1904, and had 80 bushels wheat
per acre. In 1905, with an acreage of
100 acres, had "a bushels wheat and
30 bushels of oats per acre. In 1906,
with 175 acres under crop, 1 had %
bushels wheat and 40 bushels of oats
pei oSICs
From the above mentioned yields
you can readily understand that l am
very well pleased with the Canadian
West. OF course, have had to work
hard, but l don't mind that when l get
such a good return for my labor.
To any one thinking about coming to
this country l can truthfully say that
if they are prepared to work and not
grumble at trihes, they are bound to
get on. Some things 1 would like diff
ferent, but take the country all round,

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes p inf VI
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this pc i o d
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this gr a t
change may be expected.

The Rainy Day.
The day is cold, and dark and dreary;
1t rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering
wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the moldering
Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in
the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart; and cease repining.
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fare of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
