While Backache in itself is not a disease, it indicates a derange- ment of the vital organs—it’s a symptom of disease. Kidney trouble, at any stage, is serious andp‘neglect "of the symptom means neglecting the disease. Curing a Backache means'cur— ing diseased Kidneys and reliev- ing them of congestion. This can be done in the early stages. Buker’s Kidney Pills are specific for the cure of Backache and Kidney trouble, if taken in time. It’s a vegetable remedy. Drug- gists sell them for 50 cents.

At Boton Point, yesterday, the tide was so low that the foundation of the old pier was uncovered and the rocks were covered with cakes of ice to the height of twenty feet or more.

At Belle Island the snow had drifted in some places to a height that blockaded the road, , The harbor was frozen solid as far as the “Spindle” Ofi' Smith’s Is- land and a number of pedestrians walk- ed across during the day. From Smith’s Island the harbor is frozen to Cooke- noe’s. The tide being so low the reef between “Spindle” and bell buoy is plainly visible and the rocks covered with snow and ice.

WHEN; THEz'QUEE'N- TRAVELS; ' ' Tape By the nine ‘to Insure, this yearety‘oif England‘s"nuie'r.'g 3:» - the nation renders it necessary that every precaution should be taken to avert any ' possibility of a. collision when‘ she is travelling on the railway. The question has been most thoroughly gone into by her trusted private secretary, Sir Henry Ponsonby, with the assistance of the responsible managers Of the various lines over which her Majesty travels in the course of .her journeys, and an elaborate system has been evolved which practi- cally precludes any possibility of an ac- cident, provided the orders issued to the subordinates on the railway are properly carried out and no gross error is com- mitted. That the companies are fully conscious of the responSibility placed upon them may be gathered from their scheme of precautions. All traffic is stopped on the line and the points are locked in front of the royal train for a certain period be. fore its actual arrival at any one spot, and this period is regulated by tele- graphic advices from various stations announcing the approach of the train. The result is that the line is entirely free, all traffic being stopped at certain sta— tions ahead and run into sidings until the royal train has actually passed. Moreover, a pilot engine runs in front of the royal train to‘ clear the way, so that if by any extraordinary accident any traffic should have escaped On to the line or any obstacle should have been placed there by malicious design, the pilot en- gine will act as a scout, either to stop and turn back the vagrant engine or to bring the royal procession behind to an imme- diate standstill by' timely signals. An additional precaution for the security of the line itself is found in the guard of pointsmen and signalmen who are post-ed within signalling distance of one an- other, and whose duty it is to notify from hand to hand on one side that the line is free within their control, and on the other that the royal train is approaching. Sup- posing, therefore, that some runaway engine escape the embargo laid at the junctions and the pilot engine was" ren— dered helpless by running off the line, the safety of the Queen would still be secured by the rule that no Signalman is to allow the royal train to pass the box unless it has been signalled from the box immediately ahead of him that the line is clear. PARSLEY AFTER ONIONS. The Herb Will Remove the Bad Odor of This Vegetable. At this season of the year, when the digestive system is apt to become over- loaded with rich, greasy or sweet foods, plenty of onions should be eaten as a. counterbalance. They are good for the stomach, the complexion and the nerves when eaten either boiled or raw, but of course the unpleasant odor left on the breath after indulgence in them is a barrier to their use to many people who would otherwise beable to take advantage of the-good there is in them. ' To overcome all this and give every one a chance, an old remedy is suggested —parsley. To entirely destroy the odor of bad onions eat a small sprig of this them. There will be nothing in the breath or about the person at all sug- gestive of the odoriferous bulb five min- utes after the parsley is eaten. Any one can have parsley, for, if he does not have access to that convenience known as a. “soup bunch,” it may be readily grown in any warm, sunny window. Soak the seeds about twenty‘four hours before planting in water that has the chill removed, and, after planting, water plentifully. The little green heads will peep up over the earth in about fifteen days, and when the plants are well grown your window has a pretty ornament in it. ALL IN ONE. Kdvantagcs of Matrimony us Demon- strated by the M‘arried llIan. The married man was talking to the bachelor. “\Vhy don’t you marry?” inquired the benedict. “I don’t want to be a. married man, I suppose,” replied the bachelor. “\Vhat kind of a man do you want to be?” “Not any kind for any lehgth of time. For instance, I’d like to be a boy part of the time; then a' lover sighing out his heart; then a Ilufbtlld and father for a month or so; then an old man for another month, and so on, changing about as the mood might take me. That sort of thing beats these everlasting youth snaps all to pieces.” “Then marry,” said the benedict, with supreme confidence. “That Would knock my plan all to pieces.” ' “On the contrary, my dear fellow,” said the married man, settling down to his work, “it would make you all of these. When you wanted to be a. boy you could join your children in their pleasures and plans, in their sports and sorrows; when you wanted to be a lover you would al- ways fiud your wife ready to listen to the same sweet words you told her in the June nights of long ago; when you wanted to be a married man you could take off your coat and put up stoves and get out and do the marketing and study up new ways of how not to forget what your wife told you to get downtown; when you wanted to be an old man you, could sit down in your office and Wonder where you were to get money enough to keep things going and think over the grave cares and responsibilities of a. man in your position.
