LOVES DUUbTlNG.
A Phase Of Life Through Which Many
Married Women Pass.

The only incidents that married our
happiness were sudden and ineXplca-
bic flare ups" Occasionally. to our
amaZement a tritle would make Us
glare ut each other like animals and
speak bitterly. Five minutes later we
would express our regret and shame.
Soon | perceived that these quarrels
were due to nerves and to the trials
Of adjustment. One evening we had
an argument that was particularly
violent and distressing. 1t ended by
Franks going to bed. remained in
the seat where had been reading. and
for long time pretended to myself
that | was going on reading. Present
ly tears fell on my book. Then said:
How silly all this is. | am making
myself suffer. and am making Frank
suffer too ! will 20 and tell him that
am sorry" So stole into the bed
room. He was sleeping peacefully.
That little experience. not without
humor as | look back on ii, made me-
first realize how differently Frank and
| could be affected by the same cause.
1t marked the beginning of my uneaSi-
ness. Soon | stopped reading aloud to
Frank: why. can't remember. Little
things disturbed me. At first the
thought of them used to be swept
away by my delight on seeing Frank
in the evening Then. too. there would
come the feeling that those things
were accidents and would not occur
again. In the second year of our mar
riage, just after dinner. Frank woulC
read the newspaper till he began to
doze Then he would rouse himself
and try to be agreeable. The effort
troubled me. There was also the quiet
and efficient deciding of little details
without reference to my wishes. And
here | felt there was danger Once
said to myself, suppose | should tire
him. and grew cold. Then thought
of the moment when | should discover
that was firing him. Here my sense
of humor came to my rescue. and |
felt better. imagine that many
women pass through this phase

A STRANGE TRIBE.
The Touarees, to Whom Timbuktu
Owes Its Origin.

A recent explorer. journeying from
Tripoli across the great desert of Sa-
hara, gives account of much opposi-
ton to his progress offered by the va
rious wandering tribes Much of the
most serious trouble was caused by
the Touaregs. strange band of people.
supposed by some to have descended
from the crusaders. These dwellers of
the desert are distinguished by the
wearing of wells. Il custom which has
caused much discussion. Says Felix
Dubois in "Timbuktu the Mysterious"
AS you travel an atmosphere of Sc
crecy hovers over the country. and you
remember that these mysterious Toua-
regs are still momentarily its Cypress
ors and masters.
These people keep their eyes from
the excessive glow Of the desert by
two wells one rolled round the temples
and falling down in front. the other
reaching from the noStrls to the edge
of the clothing. covering the lower
part of the face. Savants seek all
manner of farfptchcd origins to eX-
plain this custom. Hygiene is obvious
ly the only motive. This is proved by
their own statements and by the So
briquet. mouths for flies which they
give to all who do not wear the wells.
These wells are never removed. even
at mealtimes. They are so much Il
part of their wearers that any one de-
prived of such covering is unrecoS-
nized by his friends and relatives. II
a number of the tribe should be Killed
in battle. no one could identify them
if they had not on their wells.
Theft is the Touaregs natural form
of industry. This word" says ma
tive proverb. lis like water fallen upon
sand, never to be found again The
Sudanese term them as thieves,
hyenas and abandoned Of God" Yet
to this strange tribe Timbuktu owes
its origin.

Rheumatism.

More than nine out OF every ten eases
OF rheumatism are simply rheumatism
of the muscles. due to cold or damp, or
chronic rheumatism. In such cases no
internal treatment is required. The free
application OF Chamberla,n's Liniment
is all that is needed, and it is certain TO
give quick relief. Give it a trial and see
for yourself how quickly it relieves the
pain and soreness. The medicines usual
ly given internally for rheumatism are
poisonous or very very strong medicines.
They are worse than useless in cases OF
chronic and muscular rheumatism. For
