H. ing. 1t is long and
deep. We cannot see to the
bottom of it, nor reach our
presents at a single snatch;
we must take them out one by
one.
sF~HANK GOD for the
i length Of the stocking,
and for the variety of its con-
tents! Thank Him for the
gifts that bulge out at the top
the big red apple and the
s'fnay bag the corp'monplaee
blessings we have learned d
expect. Thank Him for the
gifts that are new every
morning and fresh every
evening, and that come with
Christmas every year. Thank
Him for the providence that
holds undiscovered presents
underneath, and keeps them
for the sweet surprise. And
thank Him yet again that we
do not find all the presents
we have marked on the Christ
mas list of our desires, but
that we have something left
for which to hang up our
stockings when Christmas
comes again!

Boys Use Of Raromete9r..s

Every English schoolboy who can
afford it has a barometer that he
keeps hidden under his bed or in his
trunk, for in all English schools ba-
rometers are strictly forbidden to the
pupils. Why should they be forbid
den? Why should they be desired?
Through the autumn and winter the
English schoolboy plays football every
afternoon, weather permitting. He
must play two hours each clear day.
These two hours are taken off his rec
itations. They make his school tasks
two hours. fighter; hence when he
knows beforehand that the next day
will be clear he may spare himself
two hours of useless study the night
before. His barometer pointing to
fine saves him a lot of toll But
when the instrument points to
change" then the schoolboy knows
that there will be no football Thus
q boy with barometer has big ad-
vantage. He often sells weather pre-
dictions at a penny apiece. Philadel-

especially brilliant. She sang a varied

not only through the greatness but the

DREAM SENSATIONS.
Causes of Some Of the Feelings We Elk
perienee In Sleep.

perienee In Sleep.
Some Of our common dreams seem
to be directly traceabIe. Slipping
down of the blankets is followed by
dreams Of arctic relief expeditions OF
falling into snowdrifts. A gas distend-
ed stomach, pushing up the diaphragm
and COMPRISING the lungs, produces
dreams of something sitting on your
chest" or dramatic struggles against
other forms of suffocation.
The common single dream, that OF
falling, falling, falling, from great
height, to wake with gasp Of relief
just as you are about to strike and be
dashed to pieces, is probably due to
the general muscular relaxation and
falling Of the head, arms and limbs
which accompanies settling down to
sleep. Careful studies have shown that
it almost invariably occurs during the
first forty-five seconds of sleep. A slip
a change of position Of sixteenth OF
an inch, is enough to suggest the idea
Of falling to the brain. It ssdoes the
@VSs anu pAotAOCo ouS VI AS HWdIuku
storehouse of images the precipices
flights of stairs, giddy mastheads and
other scenic effects. If the impression
is not vivid enough to wake you, you
strike bottom" with q delicious sen
sation of restful warmth and repose
just such as your tired body Is getting
from its "downy couch
The next common dream, which we
have all had scores Of times and which
as Dickens quantity said. he was sure
even Queen Victoria, with all her royaI
wardrobes full of clothes, must have
also had, that of suddenly finding your
self in public half dressed, seems al
most equally traceable.
The dream, and we can all recall its
notifying yiyidness, is usually asso
ciated with insufficient or displaced
bedclothes. This gives our drowsy
brain cortex the idea that we haven't
sufficient clothes on. Our arms and
shoulders being completely covered by
the close fitting upper half of the
nfghtgown, the impression Of ,unpro
tectedness comes most wildly from
our unincased lower limbs. Our vel
trained modesty takes furious fright
and hinc lilac lachrymae hence these
tears). = DR.. Woods Hutchinson II

Are Patent
Medicines Frauds?

s. We are often asked the above
question, and our answer has in-
variably been that no medicine
that gives satisfactory results
could be fraudulent. We could
not afford to sell. fraudulent medi-
cines., Our business depends on
pleased customers-in fact any
business does. Therefore, we
would take an enormous risk did
we not fulfil every promise made
Our customers. We are very care
ful of what we guarantee, and
when we do guarantee an article
we must know it pretty we'll
what it.. contains. and how it is
made. We have in mind the Rex
all line of remedies, particularly
Rexall. ,Mucu-T Tone, of which we
are selling large quantities at this
time OF the year. Mucu-T one is
one article that we can recommend
over our counter and know that
ninety-eight per cent. Of its pur-
chasers are going to be benefited
and will return to our store
pleased customers. Mucu-To
is a positive cure for internal
scrofula or what is commonly
called Catarrh. It is without a
doubt the. peer of all tonics for
any one who is suffering from a
rundown condition, can't work,
feels constantly tired or suffering
from the more plainly described
symptoms of Catarrll-such as
stopping of the nose, cold in the
head or bad cough"
1t must be remembered that Ca
tarrh is not confined to the nose
and throat. It usually starts
there, but it leads more often to
serious trouble, particularly the
wasting of tissues, as in the case
OF little Miss Dillon, Of Albany.
Here is letter from her father:
My little girl had catarrh so
badly that the disease had begun
to eat into the cartilage of the
nose. Snuffs and instruments
failed to do more than give tenn
porary relief. | saw the adver-
tisements of Rexall Mucu-T Tone,
but | could not believe that any
thing taken in the stomach could
cure the sore membranes of the
nose. However, / took advan-
tage Of your free trial offer and
my girl began taking your remedy
according to directions. want
to say right here that Mucu-T Tone
is certainly the greatest medical
discovery Of the times, and to
thank you for the liberal offer
that first induced me to give it a
trial. Muco-Tone has cured my
daughters catarrh completely.
The discharge has stopped alto
gether, and her breath is as sweet
as can be. Again thanking you,

We are selling a large trial bot
tie of Mucu-Tone for fifty cents

satisfied. We promise that one
