If you want to preserve apples, don't cause a break in the skin. The germs of decay thrive rapidly there. So the germs of consump- tion find good soil for work when the lining of the throat and lungs is bruised, made raw, or injured by coldsand coughs. Scott’s Emulsion, with hypophosphites, will heal inflameé mucus mein- branes. The time to take it is before serious damage has been done. A 5o-cent bottle is enough for an or- dinary cold.

DAILY BLOPED WITH HERSELP. |

It wasa pity Lila contented with her pleagant home, piano, her canary, her serene life, and the good husband fate had awarded her in the lottery of marriage. She should have remembered the women to whom such a home would have been a hayen of rest, and the merest fraction of a husband a satisfactory allotment.

But Lila desired to live her own abd not so completely merge

domestio

life,

she was now in danger of doing. Besides her present mode of living simply meant

to her ambitions spirit stagnation. True, she had a certain social position. She visited all the places where young ma-

trons congregated, and her husband com pelled himself to call for her, and accom pany her home, as he did not care to hase some other man acting as his wife's But the duty bored him and he did not hesitate to let her know it. This spoiled her enjoyment, although he did not intend it should.

For Fred Roberts did not really plan to make anyone unhappy, least of all his own wife. He was selfishly following his

escort.

Roberts was not | her |

it into that | of another as to lose her own identity, as |

own inclinations according to his ideas of the eternal fitness of things. Like other fools, he rushed in where angels feared to tread, formulating rules for ‘“‘the woman whom thon gayest to be with me,’’ forgetting that times had changed since the days of Adam, and |

that Eve herself must be held responsible for the change.

So Fred's little scheme of representing the universe to his wife did not work. Lila regarded his wishes and immured herself on the domestic altar, without complaint, but she did a great deal of thinking and came to look upon her hus- band as « petty tyrant. She had a gift of

before her marriage had sung at church sociables and with the hearty ap-

and played and amateur theatricals preciation of her fathér and mother.

But the creed of the yourg man of the period is that fathers and mothers do not

music,

know how to bring their daughters up, and the wife must unlearn all the lessons they have taught. What was charming and endearing in the sweetheart, becomes unbearable in the wife. Fred, not to be overdone in wisdom, began the making- over process, and hoped in time t model Lila into a sort of composite wife —vwhen he should have grafted on her budding nature all the virtues which are popularly supposed to belong to perfect womankind.

When he saw her dissatisfied, he said:—

‘You have a good home, Lila. Your time is your own—you have your music —and you have me. What more can any woman want?”’

But Lila only grew more discontented with her life of clipped wings, the mon- otonous routine of long days spent in try- ing to be something she was not, and she fretted over the mistake she had made in tying herself down to matrimony, when she might have made a career for herself with her music and other accom plishments. She felt in her soul that in her domestic employment she was taking the bread out of some other woman’s mouth. And any cheap girl could haye

done the work better than she. Even Fred acknowledged that.

So after duly considering the matter, and taking no one into her confidence,

Lila made a decision. One morning when Fred was going to business she asked him to wait a moment, and standing on the top stairs of the veranda, she pinned a knot of purple and yellow pansies in his buttonhole. Then, because his face was so near she kissed him.

‘*Good-by, sweetheart,’’ she said with a little nervous laugh, and he wondered if the neighbors saw them, and if they would think him spooney.

But the incident had another effect

upon him before the day was over. That forced look into his wife’s fare had showed him hollows under the pr-tty

eyes, and tense lines about the sweet mouth which he had never noticed be- fore in the perfunctory glances bestowed upon her. It is no less true than sad, that it is the family physician who usu- ally first calls attention to the ravage« of ill health, and he is usually too late.

Lila’s pansies worried Fred all day. He put them in water to keep fresh, as he wanted to wear them home; a concession that foretold much good, if Lila had only known.

““Pshaw, I’m sentimental as a wom- an,’’ he said to himself. ‘‘[ dare say it {is dull some times for Lila-—withont me. I'll plan a trip somewhere, in business interests, and take her along.-”’

So he satisfied himself, and conscience.

How many important steps we decide to take—just too late. The letter that was hever written; the apology that was withheld until death, the great reconeiler,

placated

came; the word of appreciation spoken to deaf ears—how are our cyes holden that we may not see the angel at our

side. The cruelty of heedlessness is often greater than the cruelty of crime.

Fred Roberts went home that evening with a fresh flower about to bloom in his soul, and Lila’s pansies worn at his breast. He was disappointed to find the door locked and the key under the mat— an occasional thing when Lila visited her parents. He at once felt aggrieved. That was always the way when he had tried to do a noble deed—there was no one to help him. Nor was there any supper for a tired and hungry man—that had never happened before. Then he saw a note in front of the little French clock which had been one of their wedding presents He tore it open and read :—

**Dear Fred—Our marriage waa a mis take. Better separation than hatred. Do not try to find me, as it will be impossi- ble, and no one knows where I haye

gone. Believe me, I shall do nothing te bring a shadow on your name or the one I shall hereafter bear.

“LEGA."*

Fred went into a fury. The cat fled appalled from the room and the cabery ceased to whistle and sing, and became dumb. Had it caught his eye he would have wrung its neck for reminding him of her. When the tempest had abated he went out and began a search for his wife,

The search lasted a year. He placed hig business in trusty hands, and pretended te be traveling in its interests. His hair turned iron gray, and became him well. Purpose lines developed in his face and the veneering wore from his character, showing the real substance beneath. 5 never once left him, although in aii that year he caught no , og y g glimpse of

A friend whe knew him at this perive of his career said to him :— —

“The world is full of women; why compel an unwilling woman to be your wife? Accept your liberty and begin life over again.”’

“You have never loved,’’ answered Sa “I want my wife because--I love er.

“It would be more to the purpose if she loved you,’’ retorted his friend, with that brutal candor which friendship per- mits.

“She does,’’ said Fred, and the two words contained his whole litany of faith.

tillage where he could gain the slightest clue of his lost Lila, but never by any chance found her. He was quarreled with by angry husbands for staring too freely at their wives, and thrown out of pub- lic places for impertinent meddling with strangers: but in no wise discouraged, he kept up his quest. He had gone to every theatrical performance in every place he visited, even to sitting out » wretched representation of ‘‘Uncle Tom's Cabin,’’ in which Lila was playing the part of } Yopsy—with such success that Fred never kntw her. Several times he had been so near that she could have touched him, but feared his just anger. She no longer found life monotonous, It has been said that in order to ‘‘sense the joys of heaven’? we must stay awhile in the other place. Lila had to fight to protect herself from injustice, and from kindness that was worse than cruelty, yet there was a glorious kind of freedom, a feeling that she owned herself, that she was not the caprice of someone else, and it made her dry bread grateful and her hard couch restful, with a blessed sense of in- dependence. There had been vague

newspapers from time to had never seen them.

both pride and anger. At first he was a walking arsenal, for he determined that if Lila had eloped, the man in the case

should die.

But Lila’s flitting soon became a mere personal adventure in his estimation, much like the running away of a child from its home, and he was only anxious of a chance to forgive and be forgiven.

In this mood he reached a hotel in a

sniall town, where he studied the reg- ister and asked questions about the

guests—his invariable habit. This time there was a mysterious sick woman, who had her meals sent to herreom. He ques- tioned the clerk and learned that she was young and attracttve and a lady, but cried a great deal.

If he could only get a glimpse of her. If it should be Lila, alone and ill, he could surely be of sueh service to her as to prove that he still loved her.

He wandered disconsolately halis and at last ran against a carrying a tray.

‘‘Where are you going?’’ he in a peremptory tone.

‘Taking a sick lady's said the man.

‘*Here,’’ commanded Fred, slipping a coin into the man's hand, ‘‘givée it to me, Now show me the way,” and following the waiter, he was shown into a darkened room.

A slight form lay dressed on a_ sofa. A pale face scarcely distinguishable in the gloom, was turned from him, but oh, happiness! it was the face of Lila! And she was weeping.

Fred was at best

‘Lila!’ and husband and wife were in each other’s arms~—where we will leave them, all difficulties being reconciled.

Because other alleged remedies for piles, scrofula, eczematic eruptions, ecald head, chafing, black heads, salt

rheum and skin diseases generally have proved useless, don’t condemn Dr. Chase's Ointment. It has never been known to faiJ). For inetance, Nelson Simmons, Meyersburg, Ont., writes:

“IT used Dr. Chase’s Ointment for Itching Piles, and can recommend it highly. Since using it I have had

perfect freedom from the disease.”

Peter Vanallen, L’Amable, Que., had the eczema for three years. He tried three dcetors, but received no benefit. One box of Dr. Chase's Ointment and three boxes of Dr. Chase's Pills cured hin: completely. Large scales covered bie legs nnd body, but the Ointment soon remcved them. He will swear to these tacte.

Chase’s Ointment may be had from any dealer or from the manufacturers Edmanson, Bates & Co., 45 Lombard

street, Toronto. Price 60 cents.

Mother's greatest remedy for coughs, colds, bronch'cial and lung affections is Dr. Chase's Syrup of Lmseed and Tur- pentine. The medicinal taste is wholly dieguised meking it pleasant to take. Large bottle 25 centa.

There seems to be little hope of a recon ciliation between the Redmondites and Dillionites, and the Irish party is m ore hopelessly split than ever.

“To My Life’s End.”

Old age brings many aches and pains which must be locked after if health be maintained. This depends more tha: anything else on the kidneys. “I am 85 years old,” writes A. Duflin, farmer, Aulte ville, Ont., “and Lave had kidney trouble five years. My son advised Chase’s Kid ney-Liver Pills, and I obtained immediate relief. I ehall u*e them to my life’s end.” You will find Chase’s Pills equally effective or that lame back,

A Child Cared of Eczema by Chase’s Oint- ment,

“ My six-year-old daughter, Bella, was afflicted with eczema for 24 months, the principal seat of eruption being bebind herears. I tried almost every remedy | saw advertised, bought innumerable medi- cines and soaps, and took the child to medical specialists in skin diseases, but without result. The doctor advised the use of Chase’s Ointment, and since using the eruption has all disappeared, and I can confidently say my child is cured.

HEALTH ON THE FARM,

A farmer’s life is proverbially a heaithy one; but it is evident, in many cases, that standard of health might easily be

certain sanitary conditions. Fresh air and green fields do much to remedy what would in other surroundings, such as in a city, cause severe attacks of certain dis- earee; but even these aids to health fail occasionally, and the individaal has to succumb at length tothe insidious foe, disease,

Pure water is one of the most important essentials to good health. None but those who have wandered through other lands, where pure water was 4 scarce commodity ean realize the blessing enjoyed by the man who hasat his door an unstinted supply of yood, wholesome water. In this country, as a rule, there is usually no Jack of excellent water, which, if preserved free contamination from surface drainage, sewage or stable liquids, presents a sup- ply of first-class qaality sufficient for all needs. In the care of our wells and springs, however, we oftentimes show a lamentable disregard of the interests of our health. Too often the well is located near to the stables, or in such a@ position that the drainage from the stables, both surface and through the ground, finds its way, sooner or later, into the water, ani contaminates it. In other instances, frogs, rats aud mice find their way into the wells, and die there, poisoning the water with their putrid bodies. Many cases of sickness can be traced to causes such as these, and it is, therefore, of the highest importance that our wells should receive considerable attention every year.—Froem Farming for May.
