Hondo caught a fine game and his
throwing to bases was a treat fur
what ails ynu. He killed (ivo
would he thiol's al second and twn
more at third having tlie record of
len tissists in a nine inning game.
Minkler al abort played a swell
game fnr Sardis and all liis teammates fielded line. Jack Sid ine in
left made a dandy catch robbing
Billie (.untie nf a two bagger. The

battery and whon tliey begin to hit,
their opponents will get heat.

lhal he developed these crude strains
only when ho was thrown Into touch
with su line grained a nature as her
own; thai il was tho very sense of
his own pariah-like circumstance.
Then, hefore she had time lo speak,
came n swii'i artistic leaping at his
heart. He should have known thai she
would be lide: ll was her rightful

She stood, nol angry, but a trifle bewildered, a trifle proud In her attitude
of uptilied chin. In all her Mule autocratic world, ber gracious friendliness
iiad never before met anything so like
rebuff.
Then, having resolved, the man felt
au almost boyish reaction to light-
hearted gayety. it was much the same
nay abandonment that comes to a man
who. having faced ruin until his heart
ami brain are sick, suddenly decides
to squander In extravagant and riotous
pleasure the few dollars left In his
poekel.
"Of course. Ueorge should  have told

"I know ymi are a woman-hater.

"Horton House" was a temple dedicated lu hospitality. Mrs. Horton, its
delightful mistress, occasionally smiled
at the somewhat pretentious name, Imi
it had been "Horton Houso" when the
Nashville stage rumbled along tho
turnpike, ami the picturesque little village of brick and slum- at its back
had been the "quarters" for thc slaves.
It would no more iln tn re-christen
it than to banish the ripened old family pun rails, or replace the silver-
laden mahogany sideboard witb less
antique things, 'fhe house had lieen
added io from lime to time, until it
sprawled a commodious and composite
record uf various eras, but the name
ami  spirit stood the same.
Saxon began to feel thai be had
never lived before. His life, in so far
as in- could remember it, had been
varied, Imt always touched with isolation. .Now. in a family not his own,
lie was finding tlie things whicli hail
hitherto been only names to him and
that richness of congenial companionship which differentiates life from existence. While he fell ihe wlne-llke
warmth uf it in ids heart, he fell its
seductiveness in ids brain. The
thought uf (is ephemera] quality
brought him moments of depression
ihai drove him stalking away alone
into lhe hills to flght things out with

The girl only beard him say quietly:
"Senor Ribero spoke of South America.      This was In  Yucatan."
When tin- last canvas was criticised,
Saxon led lhe girl oul tu the shaded
verandah,
"Do you know," she nnnounced with
severe directness, "when I know you

She gazed nway for u lime, her eyes

laughed.
"It makes me seem foolish," she confessed, "liecau.se you know so much

For a moment, Saxon sal twisting Ids

Widely Different Cases
Zam-Buk's Strongest point Is Its ef-
fectlveness in all kinds of skin dls-

excellent these persons proved il in
widely different directions.
Sore Heel.—Mrs. C. A. Campbell, of
Powassan, Ont., writes: "One of my
heels was very badly blistered by a
pair of new shoes, and tlie poisonous
dye from my stocking gol inlo it, and
made a bad sore. For a week I could
not put on a shoe, and suffered great
pain. 1 applied Zam-Buk, und in a
few days il drew Lhe poison out and
healed the wound."
Bad Cut—Mrs. J. Vlrglnt, of Onondaga, Ont., writes: "Zam-Buk healed a
bad cut which I sustained. I wns
hurrying across my yard oue day when
1 slipped and fell heavily, my knee
striking a sharp stone. At the moment I did not realise how badly I wns
hurl, hut I found I had a bad cut
about   two   inches   long,   very   jagged
uul very deep. We bathed the cut
and applied Znm-Buk. This stopped
the smarting very quickly, and In a
few   .lays   11    Iind    healed     Ilu-    wound

Those of our ancestors who were
culled Kelts or Celts, und who lived
in Brittany, Cornwall, Ireland, Wales,
und part of Scotland, were just as much
lovers of gold us we ure. It was not
because they required so many comforts as we do. They were content
with one story for a house, und that
was usually below ground, often carved
out of the side of a hill.
They nad little knowledge of any
kind of money, but they valued the
gold for ornaments.
They decorated their horses with
thin beat en plates of gold placed in
front of the animal's chest, hut the
metal was so scarce thai It wus only
a great chief who could afford such
decorutlon for tho team whlcb drew his
chariot, or for tho war-horse whereon he charged his enemies.

by the mountain streams, and the
.■ravel of nuggets that has been discovered in a few places is not situated
where the present rivulets or torrents
COUld shear away particles of these
solid  lumps.
Tbe two metals which are most like
to gold-—-namely, copper uml iron pyrites—and both found Iu masses, and
both have been used to mix with gold
iu harden it. But uur ancestors used
the pure metal as a rule, because they
could not without difficulty make any
lire hot  enough to fuse tt.
One way Ihey tried to get great heat
was by the gathering together of wood
in vast piles, logs and brushwood alternating in layers. Near this they
gathered seaweed, placing this also In
layers among the wood, unit so got a
heat sufficient to fuse certain stones.
For cementing the loose piled stones
of a wall for defence they employed
such brushwood heaps, setting fire to
them, and letting the molten cement
from lhe fused stones placed ou the
lop of Ihe pyre flow down and flood
Die   tup  and  sides   of   this   loose  wall.
But such methods could not lie employed fnr the gold, which had to be
worked In pits, where the draught
would nut make a furnace strong
enough. Therefore extraction of the
metal by hammering had to be resorted to. The ore was placed in hollows In hard stones, uud  was pounded
with granite or porphyry hand hammers, or basalt blocks, and the Shining grains collected; but the labor was
su great that only the most powerful
then commanding the services of many
serfs or slaves or laborors COUld afford
It.
Por instance, at Invorary iln- children
of ibe glen were told by Iheir parents,
and they In turn told their children.
lhal a treasure was hidden there. Hut
prophecy said li would never be found
save by ilu* hum! uf a stranger. Search
was made by generation after generation uf children. If a badger made a
hide in ihe hillside they believed thai
tin- badger had got hold of ilu* scent,
and ids burrow was dim up, but no
young or old badger ever Issued from
those holes wltb bangles on its neck
or nose. Any rabbit scrape, or even
hen scrape was watched In see if animal   or   bird   bad   1 n   attracted   by
anything shining under the sod or in
the sand.
Then came the days when drainage

saleable form of gold, laketi for payment throughout all Celtic countries.
Sometimes Ignorant   men   who have
found them looked upon the gold as
mere brass, nnd there wus one cuse In
which u number of bracelets thnt were
found In an Island In the Hebrides
wert* forthwith employed as drawer-
handles for an old pine-wood chest of
drawers in a cottuge. A pedlur came
that way und found that the old chest
hud very heavy handles, and gave
fifteen shillings for the drawers, took
them away, und sold them for twenty
pounds sterling each. He never went
buck to that cottago for more, and the
"handles" that were put to his name
by that cottager some time afterward
mny have been brazen, but wero certainly not of high value to the person

In the county of Gloucestershire
there lives a family of weavers who
for generations have manufactured a
cloth known as tbe West of England
cloth, whose fineness of texture and
evenness of surface huve never been
equalled despite thousands of dollars
used for machinery In nn attempt to
duplicate this product. Tbe secret of
this Gloucestershire family has been
well kept, und tbey nre the buyers of
the finest grade of wool that the market is able to produce. Months of
hard tabor and energy is spent in the
manufacture of a hundred yards of the
material, ami competition for its
ownership Is rife among the buyers,

PA'S MEDICINE
(By s. K.  KIser)
llie liiue, whoil  I   WUH sick   in bed
Aud   pa   stayed   home   with   me   all
day.
1   noticed  thai   bis eyes  were  red,
And everything that he wuuld say
Was suit  atid   Irenibly,  and  he'd stand
Reside me there and  bold  my hand
And look down at me, kind of bad,
And suddenly is seemed as though
He had forgot or didn't know
That  1  had ever acted  had.
And when the doctor came to call,
And looked at me u little while,
Pa  whispered  to  him   In  the hall,
And pretty soon commenced to smile;
And   then   he  got   a   roekin'-chalr
And stayed with  me und stroked my
hair
And  patted  me upon  the cheek,
And when mn brought my broth for me
l'a kissed her, and both seemed to be
Su  happy they  could  hardly speak.
He made up lots of funny  rhymes
And kept the day from seemin' long,
He told me of the high old times
We'd   have   when    1    got   well   and
Btrong;
He drew a lot of pictures, too—
All funny—und, first thing I knew,
Why,  I forgot that I was sick,
And when the doctor cume that night
He said I'd get along all right—
Pa's medicine had done the trick.
i
I never knew before that day
How good und kind u pu 1 bud;
He seemed to know of every wuy
There wu.** to make a person glad;
He told me of the time when he
Was just a Utile boy like mc
And  sometimes  made  his  pa   complain;
I   almost   wish   I'd   nearly  die
Some other time,  that way; so l
Could  take pu's medicine again,
ANIMALS THAT THINK
Do animals think? If you have any
doubt about it a talk wilh William T.
Ilornaday, director of the New York
Zoological Park, will convert you to the
belief thai animals can think and reason just us human helims. though not to
the same degree, And the word of Mr.
Ilornaday is worth something, for he
is an authority on animals, their ways
and   their   life.
(in   the  whole   Mr.   Ilornaday   does
not   describe  the   mental   Operations  of
animals as thinking or reasoning. He
calls it "temperament."   But in- says
thai animals reason, and by lhat he
means ihey thiuk, As in human beings, the range of Intelligence or
reasoning power varies, and he tines
not contend that because ymi can train
an animal (hut animal can Ihlnk.
Not at ull. An animal may be able
to think, hut it won't i.e trained.
There an* human beings yuu can't
train although (bey huve Intelligence,
Just so wiih animals, Mr. Hornnday
says.
"Huw far does the reasoning power
of Ihe animal go?" repeated Mr. Ilornaday iu answer to the question.
"Thai Ih hard tn say. It Is a question
of degree, not of kind. I am convinced
that animals reason the same as men
du; lite same as human beings. You
know there an- human beings who do
nut thiuk and there are lots who do.
It Is the same wllh un limits. Some
think, others don't.
"If animals did not Ihlnk a lot of
them (hat have not lost their pells

from n trap nml escape. Then* Is uo
question uboul ll. foXOS have ,],.ne (lie
same thing. Yd there an* folks who
will suy tlmt anltnuls do not think.'
This brought Mr  Hornaday to tha
point Of deciding which animal had the
most  Intelligence.   II  didn't  lake him
long to mnke his decision,
"To settle that." he said, "you mist
choose between Ihe ehunpansee ami
ttie orang-utan, and It Is hard to n.iy
which, hut I believe the blue ribbon
should go to the chimpanzee. The
chlmpnti7.ee has Hie nervous temperament. Its mind act! more quickly nnd
tt has ti better memory, ll has a greater range of ideas.  So it would nam to

"Naturally the elephant n.m great
Intelligence and perhaps It should
come third. Thc hour bus remarkable
Intelligence also, and his group is
well up in tiie mental scale by whlcb
animals  are  measured."
Mr. Hornaday's eyes twinkled us he
rcmininseed of animals lie had known.
Visitors to the beautiful zoological gardens in The Bronx have been entertained by the antics of Bnldy, the
chimpanzee. Baldy is one of the features of thc purk, a favorite with sightseers and attendants, lie has been
dressed In all sorts of costumes for
tlie edification and amusement of beholders nnd for his own joy und glory.
"Baldy," said Director Hornadiy,
"Is a different ape when he Is not
dressed compared with when he wears
clothes, Put clothes on him und it
changes his demeanor entirely If he
is not dressed he Is a wild hurum scar-
urn animal, up to every kind of a trick.
He is a clown. Nothing pleases him
more thun to muke visitors Inugh.
And he seldom falls If In* is in the
humor, which usually Is the case.
"Mat drOSS him up and see whut
happens.      He   becomes    Sedate,   docile
and obedient. He will do uhnusi anything you wish. You can tuke him by
ihe hand and he will walk urniiud the
park wilh you. Oh yes, he lias dotiu
It often.
"Nol lung ago they dressed blm lu

by  attendants—gray  cloth   with   blue
facings, gold luce cup nnd shoes. They

in them. Having mnde a survey of

It was evident from his manner that

That the best method of curing catarrhal disease consists in using Ca-

Catarrhozone is infinitely superior to
cough medicines, tablets, sprays and
emulsions, which for the most part
ure of no practical value except to
ease the cough for the time being.

Weak   Throat.   Racking  Cough   Cured
"For five yeara I suffered from a ••-
vere bronchitis. A harsh, dry, racking
cough kept my throat in a raw condition from one year's end to another.
Before going to sleep al night I always had n bad attack, and in the
morning before each breakfast I suffered greatly. My voice was harsh
and raspy, and sometimes I found it
difficult to make myself understood.
Cntarrho/one seemed to soothe and
heal from the first day. It cured me.
and now I wouldn't think of being
without a Catarrhozone Inhaler — it
means life to me."
The above experience is related by
Mr. Alexander P. Savary of Hamilton,
l'a., and proves the effectiveness of
Catarrhozone, which will cure every
cough, cold, bronchial or catarrhal attack. The dollar size of Catarrhozone

A DREAM OF THE PAST
A lively nud entertaining writer has
recently made a picture of tho decline
ami fall of home nnd housekeeping in
the old sense. He—or she—thinks people are getting tired of living in
apartments and buying everything, ofT-
liaiul, In lillle dully driblets from the
market and the grocery, ll Is cleverly
done and H all lends up (o practising
a doctrine to which wc shall come in
u moment. But before that wo extract
u typical passage from his account of
present conditions:
"With tin* bread-making gone nut
of the kitchen to the bakery; with
Bprlng cleaning dune by suction; with
the washboard nnd lye-soup superseded by the steam laundry and oxalic
add; with the garden piled up on the
floor of nn eight-by-ten neighborhood
grocery store; wllh the old spring
house and the brown crocks I runs-
luted Into terms of certification nnd
hermetically sealed bottles; and with
the big house re-expressed as apartments    with    seven -nj I -light- rooms-
a ml-u-nice-broom-closet, housekeeping has bidden fair lo become a system
of small pottering and wasteful shifting of responsibility."
All that is true of many families.
Rut is || true as Die writer goes on to
say thut oul of this condition Iiuh developed u tolerably common, If not
general, desire to get buck to thc
slower, cheaper, more troublesome
ways? Kspcciaiiy is it true that groat
numbers of women want public markets, and would personally us.- litem

an excellent fashion which still lingers
in the South. Th.- change to the old

tolos, huddled down in the depths of
the red-leather chair, arms folded,
sunk forward, gave him no uneasiness,
lie had seen something very like It
before. The sight had taught him this:
if Nicolas Koptolos bad one friend
froin wlmm he could borrow, or one
thing pawnable or salable, tlmt twenty
dollars would be ready the next day.
Then half would go on Firefly; half
into Jackson's pocket. If Firefly won.
Koptolos would mala* something anyway. If she didn't Jackson would stay
away for a few days. Koptolos was
such  "an  easy  thing."
Left alone. Koptolos sat and thought
and thought. All around him the
night life of the place was getting into
full swing. The tides of human passion that run strong along the shores
of Barbery Const were fast washing
the wrecks to the surface. .Night after night they come up—old men,
| young men, white men, fnt, greasy
black men; slouching figures in clothes
worn yellow-green by ago; erect flg-
i ores whose blue coats and brass but-
' tons marked them OS defenders of our
national honor, if not of their* own;
dark-bearded sailors from foreign ships

| the   bands   of   their   impossible   little
Cars whizzed by. their jangling bells
for a moment interrupting the tinkling
pianos ami wheeling graphophones of
\ tho dance-halls nnd saloons. The
sound of laughter, clinking glass, and
the shullle of heavy feet came up from
the basements and echoed from behind
swinging doors.      The air was  thick
, Willi Ihe odor of tlie quarter: dirt,
Chinatown, am! humanity.
|   Hut Nicolas Koptolos neither saw nor
heard, Hefore him six horses strained
ami  flashed  in the sunlight.      Il  was
(so t|tilet he could hear the beat uf
their llylng hooves, as round the long
oval Ihey went, thc day's favorite always a little, just a null*, iii advance. Now ibey were half wuy
round, Sudd only the third horse gained a  lillle;   then a  Utile more.    Now
iit was oven with the first. Now n
was ahead. Not one of ihe thousands
watching dared to breathe, Thus in a
perfe.-t silence Firefly covered the lasl
lengths, and won it  by a  ims.-.      Tin*
at Declmos' door. Luck was his for
once. With the second knock a chair
grated in the room beyond, footsteps
sounded, the door opened, and Declmos
stood on the threshold, a sputtering
tallow candle in one band.
Ten minutes later the door opened
again. Koptolos came uut and Declmos followed With a lantern. For
a few yards neither spoke. Then as
Declmos knelt to untie the rope that
fastened his boat to the wharf. Kop
tolos broke out, talking rapidly. De
clmos went on untying t lie* boat as if
he weie alone.
"But I tell you," screamed Koptolos
at last, "it's as sure as the sun. She
can't luse. Can't you believe mc?
Would I lie? Do you think I want to
lose your money? Just twenty dollars," he went on, a pleading whine
creeping into his voice. "It's only till
tomorrow night. I'll give It all back
and more "
Declmos stood up, the loose em! of
the rope in his hands. With u voice
as cold and Impersonal as lhe light
In his bard black eyes, he said, slowly.
"I have told you many limes, but I
tell you again, to talk thus Is to waste
the time. I believe not In your sure
tilings, To lend you twenty dollars
Is lo give it to you. I have no money
io give away- *—"
"llul man of God." cried Koptolos.
his voice cracking with disappointment and ran;*'. "I swear to you I will

"Enough," replied Decimos. "Do
you think I am a child? I tell you
again; If you have something lhal Is
worth twenty dollars, give it to me.
and I will lend ymi Die money. If not,
then never shall you have one cent";
and   for  the  tlrst   time his  voice  rose
angrily, echoing loudly on tlie silent
pier.
Koplolos' spirit was broken. "Give
you something," he echoed, sadly; "In
lliis whole damn world I hnve only a
wife mid four kids."
Declmos stood stock still and looked
narrowly al Koptolos. A cunning look
flashed for a moment into bis eyes, but
Nicolas, gazing out over Hie black

And half of It was bis, bis. Nicolas
Koplolos'. Nleobm sighed a hlg sigh
of  utter contonlmont.    The  physical
elYoil brought him back to the present.
The crowd and the horses and the gold
vanished,  ami   Koptolos  awoke  lo  llm
realisation  that  In  this whole  wide
world he possessed nol live dollars'
Worth of salable property.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing," ho

"one will," replied Declmos, quietly.

to get it. Koptolos swung along cheerfully. A fresh, salty breeze blew from
the bay, and the Incoming tide splashed softly against the wharf. Already
barefooted buys were busy fishing from
the end of tlie pier, and Stefano, his
brown eyes wide with admiration,
walked backward watching them.
Koptolos left him watching and went
Into the cabin to see Decimos alone.
When he came out. the four gold pieces
were jingling In his pocket, and Stefano
was still watching the barefooted
group.
lt war fully nine before Nicolas Koptolos took down the front boards of the
stand. Then he dusted the two chairs,
polished the cracked brass binding on
the single step to the street, stirred up
tlie blacking, and began walking up and
tlown beforo the stand, waiting for
Jackson. A little nfter eleven the
thick-set figure turngpl into Kearny
street, and once more Koptolos hurried
out to meet him. Once more Peter
Jackson went off down Kearny street
whistling merrily.
Slowly the afternoon dragged itself

tus in thai country lias for the past
100 years from time to time been more
or less Improved. During the reign of
Alexander ]., from 1801-1825, the Ilrst
steps toward emancipation of the Jews
were taken by affording ihem educational opportunities.
Alexander 1. directed tlie minister ot
education to draw a plan for promoting
education among tlie Jews. When the
said minister remarked that such a
plan might prove a costly one to the
Government of Russia Alexander replied, "if their means should produce
one Mendelssohn the expense would be
justified."
Nicholas 1„ known as the enemy of
the Jews, nevertheless officially encouraged them to take up agriculture,
Jewish farmers-were, for a certain period, to be exempt fronvnllltary service
and taxation in land. Jews wishing to
enter the field of agriculture in Russia
were practically to enjoy equal rights.
During the early part of the reign of
Alexander li.. when the serfs were
emancipated, it looked us if freedom
would be granted to the Jews of Russia as well. Kostrietionnry laws concerning the "Pale of Settlement" were
not enforced and schools were practically opened to the Jews. Such was
the uncertain status of the Jews for a
period of about eighty years, ending In
1SS1 with the assassination of Alexander II.
During the quarter of a century that
followed this period the condition of
the  Jews   In   Russia   changed   for   lhe
worst'. 1'ogroms and riots took place.
The well-known May laws were enacted and enforced. Tho Jews were driven back to the "Pale" which resulted
in a large emigration of Jews from
Russia to different countries of the
world, especially to America. The
Klshlneff an<i othe massacres that fol
lowed were the climax of the terrible
; conditions,

To those who have tin* interests
of the city anil thc consideration of
tha expenditure of lame sums of
money at, heart, thc attendance al
the public moating un Monday tu
dlseuss the Waterworks Purchase
By-law. was a disappointment.
There was a very noticeable shortage of cltizons wbo have large interests at stake. lt is possible
ol course that those mon are satis-
lieil with tlie proposition presented,
and willing to allow the Council lu
grapple with tbc situation, but :i
live interest, shown al leasl by an
attendance at a discussion uf su
Important a mailer as the invosting
uf 81!I0,(KK.I in a W'.'iterweilissystem,
should be forthcoming. A live
community interest, and a better
disposition to pull together for the
best interests of ibe place, would be
increased thereby. The responsibility falls un all citizens alike, anil
a shirking uf Ibal responsibility will
have but 0110effect and lliatetTeet will
certainly nol advance tl ity along
progressive and sale Ikies, The
indifferent and the "Knocker" go
hand in hand, and a majority of
theso iu a town will produce a
dead mie. Devastation frum Hoods,
earthquakes, and kindred calamities, is pushed aside ami prosperity
encouraged nud new cities roared
by civic pride and au indomitable
enthusiasm, but thcic qualities seem
powerless Iss move towns which are
kepi dead by a shirking uf responsibility, indifference, nnd wol blankets,
a «
Tlio following excerpt taken from
tbo Princeton Star sizes up tho
credit business as regards n certain
olnss of shorl term residents, ami
envoi's the local situation sn well thai
we reproduce ii.
"Instances are not infrequent of
the exploitations of adventurers wins
Inking advantage uf lb.' fuel that
they aio strangers in town and their
dishonest characters unknown run
accounts with all ami sundry wbu
Cam lo give Ihem credit, The usual
course pursued by these rogues is fo
impress Ihe victim with Ihe legitimacy of tbeir purpn-e nf business
and tben by smooth deception play
upun their charity and request either
a cash loan or goods, it may always lie taken as a eorrool inference
that the oerson who is nol particular
in purchasing is not particular in
paying and the one who is profuse
with promises to pay, but does nul,
is as a rule meditating osoapo from
ajust obligation. The credit system
is bad in that it affords dishonest
persons an easy wny to obtain possession, remove credit nnd nine-tenths
of the worry nnd litigation prevalent
trill disappear. In olden days a
debtor weut to prison, nowadays ho
merely noes lo nnothor country,
Princeton has had some recent oxporienco with fugitive frauds and
others who hnvo not reached tb,.
fugitive stale but manifest n |X»i-
liive dislike for   paying nu honest
bl. Al present thc law is too
slow tn catch lhe person who hns the
reputation of hrcuking promises to
pay, ii) some barbarous countries
iho piiiii-bini'iii is social ostracism,
but tlmt is slow and scarcely .lm~iie
s'liough isi .il. .-I roform in n thick-
skiiius'd debtor. The credit system
mov iu vogue has little lo recommend
its continuance. The cash basts
would eliminate lho spendthrift,
the careless buyer, nnil lond toward
ilnili ami happiness."

Kor a number of years, there has
been a constant llow of valuable information on agriculture, in its
several linos, going out from the Department ssf Agriculture at Ottawa.
In the forms of annual reports, special reports, bulletlans nnd circulars,
hundreds of publications have been
issued, considerably exceeding u
million copies n year, and tbc stream
is constantly enlarging. Until recently each of the several main
Branches of the Department sent
out tlieir own publiealions. An advance step has lately .been taken in
tlie organization of the Publications
Branch which is charged with the
sending out from one oiliee to all tbe
publications as issued. As n guide
to the agricultural public as to what
publications may be produced, a full
list indicating tlie subjects treated,
lias been Issued in pamphlet form lo
be sent out to those who apply for it.
Tlie postofflce department has decided to improve tlle rural mail delivery service of Canada within the
next few months to the extent of
granting fanners all the facilities
for transacting general postofflce
business. When the carrier drives
up to the mail box in front of tne
fanner's home, he will bis prepared
to sell stamps, issue postal notes or
money orders and to except letters
for registration. If tlic proposed
new system works out successfully
il will no longer be necessary for the
farmers lo visil the postoftlce except
in cases sif speoinl business.

and the buds formed remain unchanged In appearance until the plants recover from tlieir torpor In the springtime; lirst, because tiie outer conditions are not such as they need for
their development; secondly, because
chemical changes are produced in
them during the resting-lime. Tlie
chemical changes are Indispensable;

the must favorable conditions could
open buds. Tlie plant sel in a hothouse just after Its leaves have fallen,

manager.
"Dodgln was the new manager of a
biscuit concern. There* was a workman at the concern who liked to sneak
off to a shed al about three o'clock
in the afternoon and smoke a pipe and
look over the afternoon paper for
half an hour or so.
"Well, one day as the workman sat
reading and smoking in lhe shed, Dod-
gln appeared.
" 'Who are you?' Dodgln asked sternly, frowning at tho idle workman.
The workman frowned back.
" 'Huh, who are you?" said he.
" 'I'm Dodgln, the new manager.'

At this the workman smiled.
" 'So am I,' he said, heartily. 'Come

With the Horses
A great deal has been said nnd
written concerning humane treatment
of dumb animals, especintljr1 the horse.
Societies have been formed for prevention of cruelty to dumb animals,
and olher organized campaigns conducted for the same purpose.
These efforts have accomplished
much to prevent heating und starvation, and (he use of decrepit and lame
animals, but there are yet localities
where much can he accomplished
along Ihls line. There are otber abuses
of horses besides beatings and starvation thnt need attention.
Conditions have so chnnged ln the
lust quarter century thnt the type of
horse lias materially changed. The
transformation of the mud roads Into
solid, smooth macadam pikes has caused the slow, steady driving horse to
he replaced by the high-stopping, high-
spirited, fast roud horse, that is the
pride of the young man and his father
alike.
The farm horse of a *iunrter of a
century ago was light ln weight and
low bred as compared with thc present-day farm horse. This light, lowbred fnrm horse hnd stumps, stones,
and tough sod to pull against In the
field, and the tough mini when hauling loads to market. He necessurlly
wns slow nml Sluggish] he couldn't be
otherwise.
Several Improvements In farms, by
removal of stones and slumps nnd
nse of tlle ditches, together with the
Increased weight of farm horses, has
demanded a more active, hlgh-splrlled
horse.
The large draft horse of today must
show plenty of knee and hock action,
u fast walk and plenty of life, if he
catches lhe eye of the farmer. Men
huve learned by experience that they
cannot heat this high hred horse ns
they did bis ancestors. His high spirit
resenls li.
Cool business calculation teaches
that there is no money In starving a
horse.
ToKcther wllh the arousing of public sentiment, the evolution of the
horse hus caused n great decrease in
the old-lime cruelty, This does not
neeensnrlly mean that cruelty hns
coasedi hut ihat tho nnture of cruelty
has changed as the disposition of the
horse has changed,
It Ih a very common thing lo nee n
man driving a horse nlong lhe road
at lis highest speed, kept up by a continuous twitching of the rein or tnp-
plng of (he whip or both; when he
stop**, he slops (be horse suddenly, nnd

Public   Aro   Warned   AgainBt   Strong-
Smelling, Oily Liniments Containing Harmful Acids
and Ammonia
.Many people have clung to the old-
fashioned idea that a thick, greasy liniment is the best kind.   Doctors say not
-and Ihey know.
Raouritiy a number of these white,
oily liniments were analyzed, and they
were found to contain an enormously
high percentage of harmful acids, and
such irritating chemicals us ammonia,
etc, For lhe moment they may cause
a warm sensation when first applied,
imt their continued use never cures
rheumatism, and only deteriorates the
skin, sets up inllammation, and causes
endless trouble.
When a doctor warns you to quit
using a white, oily lininv-nt—do so. He
knows that a thick liniment can't penetrate, enn't sink through the pores and
reach the scat of the pain.
When asked his opinion a few days
ago an Important physician slated that
he considered a strong, penetrating,
pain-subduing liniment, such us "Nerviline." to be superior to any of the
white ammonia liniments. in his
twenty-five years of practice ho had
witnessed cases of rheumiiiisni.

would not respond to ordinary treat-

a new horse Is bought and he, too,
goes   through   the same grind.
It has nol been (hi* number of miles
such a horse has gone, nor the number of beatings, nor starvation, but
the continual "nagging" that limited
his usefulness to two years.
The club bruised a small area of
llesh and Irritated a few nerves, but
scarcely ormised the Qlugglsh brain,
Nagging throws the whole nervous
system out of normal, arouses a sensitive brain and starts thc blood flowing at fever heat. Such a horso truly
Is on his nerve. He uses tils nervous
energy at a rapid rate and hence his
quick decline. He ages rapidly. Rheumatism, stiffened muscles and indigestion result from such a strain upon
the nervous system.
When -i horse is kept up to his highest pitch, with his nerves on a continual strain. It Is* nothing less than
(orture und torture of the worst kind.
The more spirited the horse the greater becomes the torture.
A small spot constuntly irritated on
a nervous horse Is often the source of
more annoyance thun a large running
sore would be* to a horse of less sensibility.
Many people allow their horses to
become i.l.stin;it.- und balk or have
sume sort of mad tantrum. This Is
Just about as excusable In a horse as
lt Is in a child.
When a man hns his horse under
control, nt* he should, he can prevent
all that wear and tear on his nerves
and snve the horse the suffering It
endures.
Talk ubout a horse missing a few
feeds, or a few drinks of water but
thut sort of suffering does not compare to lieing "nagged" from morning Illl nighl with a clumsy, careless
driver, or irritated by harness, or helm; In a mud lit for a half day at a
time.
Tlie lies-her Iln* breeding, the more
hlgh-splrlted, alert, proud horse we
develop, the greater becomes the necessity fm* us to recognise that the
form of cruelly may be shifted from
tin* outward and physical to the nerves
of a horse.

THE IDEAL MIPTRESS

Tho first prize definition of an ideal
mistress follows: —
I have been a maid since I was 11
years old, and 1 always had good positions und was satisfactory to my mistress. When I went to apply for a
position I was always dressed in a
plain neal black suit and plain white
shirt waist, because the first thing the
mistress notices is how you are dressed. If you are all frilled up in fancy
'dresses and jabots, she knows it will
tako up a lot of her time doing up
your fancy things. I think the wages
are the flrst thing to be considered,
and then If she tells you about your
days off, well, all right, but If she
doesn't, why, then, a girl doesn't need
a position very bad to ask a lot of
foolish questions—the number of children and how many rooms, etc., because a good mistress won't hire her.
Of course every girl likes a Thursday afternoon and a Sunday off—
Thursday to do her shopping; she
can always he back for Bupper; but
Sunday afternoon and evening for
herself. Now with a light airy room,
what more of a home could a girl
nsk? When the family have children
you can take us much Interest in
them as their own mother can, for
every woman loves children. I think
every good girl likes the mistress to

lhe membrane spreads until eventually

tried his first experiment (tn u woman

lie found at the moment willing to part

them in the usual way. Tho experiment wus completely successful. The
new skin uppears to be finer than the
human skin, imt strong and healthy.
Perhaps Dr. Staller hus dune more

actually finer than tho old there may
be a chance for ladies who are in

JOHN   McELROY'S   HEART   TROUBLE CURED BY DODD'S

Ronton. N.U., April 8.—(Speclul.)—
Bordering on the miraculous is the cure
of John McBlroy. a young man well
known here. He wus suffering from
heart trouble and wus so bad that all
last summer he was not able to do a
day's work. Dodd's Kidney fills cured
him. In telling the story of his cure,
Mr. McBlroy says:
"I went to a doctor who said I had
palpitation, bul his medicine did nol
seem to reach the spot. 1 suffered for
over u year ami nil Inst summer 1
was not able lo do n day's work. My
sleep was broken and unrefreshlnu. 1

I was always tired and nervous. I perspired freely with th*- least exertion,
"After I had finished taking the doctor's medicine, and as I fell no better.
I read In an almanac what Dodd's Kidney l'ills could do and made up my
mini) to try them. Before 1 hud finished the first box I felt different, uml
by the time the second was half gone
I was working In lhe woods uml dolns

in regions where geological conditions
are the same.

Framed for the Ninth
By   will  H. Oi
Mute Jlegurty, retired heavyweight
champion, was not so called because
lie was deaf and dumb, but because
of his almost invulnerable taciturnity.
The fact of the mutter was, Mule
stammered when be essayed even
monosyllabic speech and being keenly
sensitive uboul his vocal eccentricities,
talked only at the prompting of necessity. Thousands hud a bowing acquaintance with him. liis speaking
friendship was limited lo his old manager, "Ace" McCartney, and the members of his own family. When ho uttered more thun half a dozen words at
a time he was on a conversational debauch.
Uut if Mute did not talk, lhe same
wasn'l true of his money, which was
loquacious enough in sun even a hotel
proprietor. To Mr. llogarty spending
money was a business in which long
experience Inn) rendered him thoroughly proficient, lie was forever malting
several varieties ui' a picturesque Idlol

sometimes mure informing than nrt-

Mute Hegarty grabbed his money und
Lacked into retirement,
Four years of idleness, reinforced by
a keen appetite for very liest of good
things of life, brought the great Heg-
arty to a realization that no fortune is
too large lo spend, and lhat a man
without un income has no license for
believing that a few hundred thousand will see him through Folly's
realm to comfortable old age. So on*-
tine day he received a statement from
his bunkers that was amazing; nnd
mnde him doleful and blasphemous.
ilis fast dwindling fortune had shrunk
to a hare $-.000 and his days as a
luxurious liver were at un end.
He stood Btaring ut the statement
that brought him lo the brink of bankruptcy with an expression uf absolute
and paralyzed incredulity.
"H-h-h-hellt" he gasped, and dropped Into a chair witli an by moisture
beading Ids brow. That he was called
the undefeated champion was n treus-
urable compliment; he bad never
meant to jeopardise the title; but he
hnd reached thc frayed end of his
tether. Me Would huve to lighl again;
and be had un uncomfortable sense
thnt he could nol gel another battle
unless he agreed to lose.
Mule walked his apartment ln the
St. Regal with thoughtful mien, as
one reviewing nnd arranging a confused mass of facts. He hud the burgundy complexion uf a bon vlvant. a
special detestation for exercise und nn
unshakable feeling uf apprehension.
On the verge of succumbing to complete menial panic he telegraphed for
Aee McCartney! who appeared upon
ihe scene within the hour.
McCartney wns reluctantly eager to
renssume lhe position of devoted adviser io Mr. Hegarty, not fur personal
guln, hul for the sake of auld long
syne. He wus durk, ful, podgy, affable
und self-contained. ills voice was
pleasant and distinct, and the style
and texture of his clothing stamped
him us something of a swell.
Mute, red from chin to ears, slmn-
mered forth his story.
"And," he wound up with u rush,
"w-w-wlUi you t-t-to hel-lielp m-m-
me. 1-1-1 k-k-kin lick "em nw-nw-ull."
When Ace McCartney spoke It was
as an elder nilght speak to n child
Instructively,  wilh  a  hint,  indeed,  of
authority.
"You're very bud. Mute." he said.
"and you couldn't light a preliminary
right now. It'll take some time to pul
you fn anything like decent condition.
What did you do with all your money?"
Instead of trying lo put u gloss upon
the matter, Mule became satirical. He
hud earned all the money he bnd taken
with him Into the semi-obscurity of
Ills retirement, he declared, nnd he
went on to state thnt he had spent il
like a white mnn iiinr.i sport. Snre.
he was broke perilously near II, anyhow. He couldn't live on u couple of
bucks a week, he couldn't, aud he
couldn't muke more money without using his fists; he hadn't discovered the
secret of tbe truusmulutloii of metals;
he hadn't developed a formula for extruding gold from sen water; nor hnd
be been exploring the wreck of u
sunken Spanish galleon,
Aee McCartney looked at blm with
ihnt air of patient fortitude thut comes
to us all so easily when we contemplate
Ihe misfortunes of others. As he
spoke he wus smiling with the ironic
deference of an assured superiority.
"Busy, old boss," he soothed. "You
know there is only one big fight left
for you. Tho public knows you enn't
live the way you have been living nnd
fight. But they'll believe there Is one
more winning battle In you. Aspiring
-■humps nre rnre, but you can get on
one good one for a mess of money. You
! prefer money lo glory now, eh, Mule'.'"
The champion looked up ut bis manager out of bleared vacuous eyes.
"W-whn-butcher mean?"
"1 mean you'd rather lose for n hun-
| dred thousand than win for half lhal
amount," said McCartney, watching his
j man   purringly,   -contentedly,   like   a

li was almost a week before Ace
McCartney paid his second visit tu
Mule Hegarty. What be found displeased him not a little. Mute paced
restlessly up and down thc room. His
face hud fallen into tired lines, nnd
his head was sunk forward on his
chest.
Mute checked un angry oul burst
from his manager wilh upraised hand
and quelling glance. He suid frankly

It was 7 o'clock when tho doors of
the Hercules Athletic Club were thrown

There were throngs of men with facial

Then hedintn brake loose. Cheers,

A FIRfe-KILLING FOAM
There ure  no  llres  more disastrous
than those in which petroleum mineral
essences,   heil/oill,   etc,,   pluy   u   purl,  oil
account or the dlfllculty of gottlng them
under conlrol. No really efficacious
method has ever been put lulo use tu
extinguish llres of hydro-carbonic origin, Wuter is utterly usoIobb, Dangor
may Ik* al limes reduced lo a minimum
by preventing contact of air with tho
flame, choking ii botwoen blankets,
mats, damp cloth, earth, or sum), but
tbls is hy no means always sufficient,
l-'or this reason Bolentlsts arc Interested lu slme experiments made recently
in German laboratories bearing on the
possibility of controlling tires of varying chemical origin. It is said that if
n stated quantity uf caustic soda solution lie mixed with an equal quantity
of alum It forms u dough—or mortar
—fifteen times as great as the original
single quantities, This dough Is very
light and foamy. If this substance be
thing over the petroleum, etc., and the
entrance of air Impeded, the fire will at
once be put out.
An experiment was lately tried In
Germany to establish these facts beyond question. An Improvised fire extending over four cubic millimeters
was extinguished in less thnn two
minutes by an eighty per cent, solution of the above-named substance.
THE STEAM OF THE EARTH
If dry earth Is wet suddenly the heat
emitted is due chiefly to the affinity
of putter's clay und humus for water.
Thai affinity is so powerful that the
two substances release twenty and
thirty calories per every two kilograms.
THE   ELEPHANT  SEAL
One of the noteworthy results of a
recent expedition on Ihe government
steamer "Albatross," was lhe discovery
of a hand of elephant seals. The expedition was commanded by Dr.
Charles H. Townsend, director of the
Xew York Aquarium, and wns sent out
under the auspices of the New York
Zoological Society und tbe Museum of
Natural History, New York. The ani-
mnls were found on the uninhabited
Island of Guadeloupe, 250 miles off the
coast of Sun Diego. The pnrty captured alive six baby elephant seals,
which were sent to the New York
Aquarium, where they nre attracting
great attention. Four skins of large
adult mules were obtained, over sixteen feet long, for a museum group.
The maximum length of the adult male
is 22 feet. The femnle. which Is
smaller, lucks a proboscis. The short
proboscis, or "trunk," has the nostril
openings at the end and can be ex-
pnnded and contracted ut will. The
mule elephant seals tight desperately,
us the scars on their necks und breasts
bear evidence. They have formidable
teeth and send forth guttural roars
which can he heard at a considerable
distance. Unlike the fur seal the elephant seal Is a wonderful oil-producing animal, having a deep layer of
blubber six or seven Inches thick; the
oil Is even superior to whale oil.
Fifty yeurs ago, elephant seals were
abundant, but owing to their wholesale
slaughter to obtain the valuable oil for
commercial purposes by the sealers,
the species Is now approaching extinction.
MAHOGANY IN FURNITURE
It is interesting to note that more
than twenty mahogany-like woods nre
now offered ns true mahogany, not to
mention a considerable number of
woods cunningly stained to Imitate that
wood. In the present circumstances,
therefore, when the demand for mahogany is greater thnn the supply, unusual interesl attaches to such woods
as Carinlana or Colombian mahogany,
which is acknowledged not to be mahogany, hut which is so similar to It
In color, grain effects and working
qualities as to serve for the rarer wood.
The statement Is made thnt while
Carinlana differs widely in its uotnni-
cnl and nnntomlcnl •characters from
true mahogany, Its close superficial resemblance to mahogany am) its physical properties at once distinguish It
us u high class cabinet wood. When
properly seasoned It does not warp,
check or shrink, while much of the
lumber is beautifully figured, It works
well, lakes a filler rendily. und can be
highly polished,
THE  NIGHT CLERK'S JOB
"Sometimes the night clerk's job has
its drawbacks." remarked the tall, thin
mun behind thc desk nt the hotel.
"These weird tales that guests will tell
In the still night"—he went on, "they're

"One night, about two o'clock, a
guest cume up to the desk and spent

black cat that had been sitting on the
fool of his bed. As he talked I noticed the fellow hnd a queer look In
his eye.
"A black cat's nothing but a black

of about 400 men hoisting stone und

"By and by he went baclt to hiB

"Of course, these things don't happen so often around a hotel, but when
anybody does see things—robin eggs,

A  SLEEPING   FISH
Some curious habits in a fiah have
been observed by the French zoologist.
13. Romeis. The fish In question, which
bears the name Paratilapia multicolor,
was kept in an aquarium containing
suitable seaweed, und observed through
several seasons.
The female fish places the e*ggs in
pockets in her mouth, and keeps them
there until they hatch. After hatching,
the fry is thrown out into the water
in the morning, but toward evening
the young fish come back to the mother's mouth. Inside of which they
spend the night.
A resting condition resembling sleep
wns also observed. Ordinarily these
fish rest near the bottom of the water.
But nfter the eggs are laid the female
seeks the surface of the water, so that
at times her back fins were actually
out in the oir. When at the surface,
she pressed her side tins close against
the body, nnd remained quite motionless for ns much as two hours at a
stretch. With the exception of very
slight movements of the gill covers.
there wns nothing to Indicate that the
animal  was  still alive.
Dr. Romeis supposes that the advantage In this habit lies in the fact that
the female having eaten no food for a
long time (during the breeding seasoni
nnil being obliged to economize the reserve fnts In her body, avoids motion
ns much as possible. Floating near
the surface is perhaps connected with
the fact that here the fish enn pet sufficient oxygen with the least amount
of exercise.
