one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. HALLS Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires con-

Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF

THE QUESTIONER.

called the boy to my knee one day,
And l said: You're Just past four:
Will you laugh in that same light-hearted
way
Whenyou're turned, say, thirty more?''
Then Thought of a past I'd fain erase
More clouded skies than blue
And l anxiously peered in his upturned
face
For it seemed to say:
"Did your"
l touched my lips to his tiny own
And said to the boy: 'Heigh, hc!
Those lips are as sweet as the hay, new
~, Will you keep them always so?'
Then back from those years came a
rakish song
With ribald jest or two
And gazed at the child who knew no
wrong,
And l thought he asked:
did you?"
L looked in his eyes, big, brown and
clear,
And cried: "Oh, boy of minel
Will you keep them true in the after
years?
~, Will you leave no heart to pine?'
Then out of the past came another's
eyes
Sad eyes of tear-dimmed blue
DID he know they were not his mothers
eyes?
For he answered me:

Curious Facts About the irregularities
of the Tides.

Curious Facts About the irregularities
Of the Tides.
To the ordinary landsman tides along
the coast are most puzzling. he has
been taught that the tides rise and
fall twice In the twenty-four hours
and that this depends In some mystic
rious way upon the moon. But when
1t occurs that In his travels he sees a
spot along the shore whore there is
no tide at all he Is at q loss to er-
plain the phenomenon.
To be exact there is only one ocean
In the world where the tides follow
the moon with absolute regularity.
This Is the great Antarctic basin, and
the reason is that there and there only
Is to be found a sweep OF water en-
tirely uninterrupted by land. The
enormous wave raised by the moons
attraction courses round the world
south Of Cape Horn and the Cape of
Good Hope with absolutely nothing TO
break 1t. In the northern hemisphere
great masses OF land interrupt the tidal
waves and. combined with the shall
lowness OF inland seas, cause them to
perform antics that seem most strange.
The depth Of water has much to do
with tidal irregularities. Out I'm the
open ocean. when the tide is abyssmai
that is. about 5000 fathoms-the
speedvof the waves Is amazing. Where
the depth decreases to Eve fathoms the
tide travels at a comparatively slow
rate. In England, for example, which
Is surrounded by narrow. land broken
seas. the result is that the Britons get
some Of the most terrible and danger
ous tidal races and currents.
The most formidable Is tho whirl-
pool between the island Of Jura and
Scarba, on the west coast OF Scot
land. This is known as the "Caldron
OF the Spotted Seas" Here is a race
running at a speed to be matched only
by a mountain torrent. The force OF
heavy tidal current pushing up a
wide mouthed river ceuses what is
termed q bore" The most striking
example OF this tidal feature is seen
on the Amazon, a moving wall OF wa
ter thirty feet high and reaching from
bank to bank rushing inland from the
oeean.--New York Tribune.

IS 1T WORTH WHILE?

mIf you want to be worth a million
dollars it would cost you just a million
dollars to get it. Broken friendships,
intellectual starvation, loss of social
enjoyment, deprivation of generous
the smothering of manly as
pirations, limited wardrobe and a
scanty table, lonely home-because
you fear q lovely wife and handsome
home would be too expensive-a hatred
of the heather, a dread of the contri-
button box, haunting fear of charita-
bic societies, fretful dislike of poor
people because they won't keep their
misery out of sight. a little sham be-
nevolence that is worse than none; oh.
you can be rich, young man, if you are
willing to pay the price. Any man can
get rich who doesn't think it too expen.

A THANKSGIVING SONG.

My days, o Lord, are in Thy hands,
1t matters not how few.
Help me to follow Thy commands
In all say or do.
Ny life, o Lord, is in Thy hands,
May it be not in vain;
But help me, Lord, to follow Thee,
In sunshine, cloud or rain.
My life, o Lord, is in Thy hands
In things both great and small,
And as I live from day to day
Be thou my ali in all.
My life, o Lord, is Thine indeed,
Be it my chief delight
To follow where Our Savior leads,
Till heaven comes in sight.
My life, o Lord, is in Thy hands,
1t matters not how long,
Oh may it be from day to day
One glad, eternal song.
