Stop That Cold!
t
To check early colds ?r Grippe with "Preventics" *
means sure defeat for Pneumonia. To stop a cold 1
with Prevcntics is safer than to let it nm and be
obliged to cure it afterwards. To be sure. Preventics
will cure even a deeply seated cold, but '
taken early?at the sneeze stage?they break, or \
head off these early colds. That's surely better. .
That's why they are called Preventics.
Preventicsare little Candy Cold Cures. No Quin- '
ine, no physic, nothing sickening. Nice for the ]
children?and thoroughly safe too. If you feel /
chilly, if you sneeze, if you ache all ovar. think of '
Seventies. Promptness may also savoiialf your *
usual sickness. And don't forget your child, if (
there is feverishness, nightor day. Herein prob- ,
ably lies Preventics' greatest efficiency. Sold in
Sc boxes for the pocket, also in 25c boxes of 48 <
Preventics. Insist on your druggists giving you }
Preventics!

jwed me two old trunks filled with

about 300 volumes, most of which
ro the dates 1760, 1770, 1766 and so on,
d my friend confidently believed that
sy were worth at least their weight in

cinted a long time ago. Nine out of ten
ooks published before this century are

SIR WALTER RALEIQH.
Varied Career of the butlngalib*!
Courtier and Adventurer.
Raleigh's day of days was at the sack of
Jadiz in 1596. It was Raleigh who overore
the timid counsels of Lord Thomas
loward, crying out to Lord Essex: "Enramos!
Entramos!" a permission soaoeptable
to the gallant young earl that h?
hrew his hat into the sea for sheer Joy.
?hen Raleigh betook him to his ship and
ed the van under the batteries and right
nto the harbor. When his vessel, shatered
by shot, was on the point of sinking,
le left it 'to enter Essex's ship, and,
hough' wounded severely by a splinter,
iad himself carried on shore and lifted on
o a horse to chafge with Essex against
he Spanish anny. Of the sea fight Hakuyt
says:
"What manner of fight this was and
vith what courage performed and with
vhat terror to the beholder continued,
rhere so many thundering tearing peeces
vere for so long a time discharged, I leave
it to the Reader^to thinke and imagine."
Df the charge on shore he tells us: "The
iime of the day was very hot and faint,
ind the way was all of dry deepe slyding
land in a manner, and beslile that, vert
meven. But the most famous Earle, with
lis valiant troopes, rather running in
leede in good onler, then marching, ha?ened
on them with fuch unspeakable oourige
and celerity, as within one hourea
(pace and lesse the horsemen were all discomforted
and put to flight, their leader
aeing strooken downe at the very flrst en5ounter,
whereat the footmen, being wonlerfully
dismayed and astonished at the
unexpected manner of the Englishmen*!
kinde of r.uch fierce and resolute fight, retyred
themselves with all speed possible
that they could."
We know the 6tory of Sir Walter Raleigh
but too well?his cruel imprisonment, his
more cruel liberation to 6ave hlfl life by
accomplishing the impossible and his
most cruel exeoution on a warrant signed
16 years earlier. He know all that is to
be known of success and failure, of court!
and treachery, ol sea ngnts ana assaults
on cltics, of treasure Islands imd tempest!
and long marches In tangled forests.?
Fortnightly Review.
The Landrail.
The most remarkable thing about tht
landrail is its extraordinary instinct or
passion for migration. Whence comet to
It that overpowering desire which twice
in the year impels it, weak winged though
it is, to change its quarters, to range during
our English springtime as far r.ortk
as the bleak and frozen shores of axotfc
Greenland, to descend in the fall of the
year away south into Africa and eastward
into Asia, reaching in its return migration
countries so distant and so widelj
sundered as Natal and Afghanistan? At
present, in spite of theories and surmises,
we have no satisfactory reason offered t?
us for the wonderful migration?recurring
steadily, persistently and unfailingly,
year after year?of a bird like the landmil.
whose weak wintra and strongly do
veloped legs plainly attest the fact thai
Its natural powers of progression lie fa*
more in walking and running than la
flying.?Saturday Review.
The Smart Verger,
The church possessed a valuable Bible,
which was only used on Sundays, says a
writer in The Cornhill Magazine, speaking
of an English country parish. Daring
the week it was kept in a box whloh rather
ouriously formed the stand upon which
the reader of the lessons stood. On one
occasion, when this was being shown to
visitor, the remark was made that it did
not seem very reverent for even a clergyman
to tread upon the Bible. "Pardon
me," the old verger replied. "In this
church, 6lr, we take our stand upon the
Scriptures."

this makes the bread heavy and sodden.

Shall they come, though It be laUi

No more despised failures known?
On some other kindlier shore.

"Well, for special tastes," said the ldn#

"Gold and fame are the bjst Tv?

"But for general use?" asked the em lot
I "Ah, then,"
Said the demon, "I angle for man, not

And a thing I hate
Is to change my bait,
So I flsh with a woman the whole
