Little Maud *&l)anted ^/i Chance Uoo Maud and Marjory worried the life out of their mother by running away. At least once a week she would alarm the neighbors, and a hunt would be started to find the runaways. Usually they had not gone far, but their mother was very much frightened every time she missed rh^ Mrr> midgets. She determined to briv.i of this trick. Calling them to 5c r r-om one day, she said: "Now, I haw never whipped my little daughters, but if they run away again both of them are going to receive a smart whipping. Now, remember *' ' 4-1-\ that tne next time you are touiyicu ?.u leave the yard." The two little sisters looked very grave and promised never to run away again. But a few days after they forgot all about their mother's injunction and raced out of the yard and far down the street Their mother found them talking to a big colored man and grimly brought them home. Then she took them into the house, gave them the switching promised and sat them down hard in two little chairs in the nursery. Maud's screams were terrific, and as her mother heard them from the library downstairs she said to herself, "Well, I guess the punishment has made an impression on those children, and they won't run away again." Just then there was a momentary lull in Maud's yelling, and her mother heard Margery sob out: "Now, Maud, you just stop crying a minute. I want j to have 'em hear me cry!"?New York Times.

In the reign of James IV. of Sootland John O'Grout and his two brothers, Malcolm and Gavin, arrived at Caithness and bought the lands of Warse and Dugisby, near the beach at the mouth of Peniand firth, the northeastern extremity of the mainland of Scotland. In time their families increase i until there were eight houselioivls of the same name. They lived as neighbors in the greatest peace and amity, each year holding a festival in the original house. At one of these annual gatherings the question of precedence arose among the younger members, aDd tliey disputed as to whom should sit nearest the "head of the table" or enter the room first. The old grandfather, Johnny O'Groat of history, was made arbitrator. He promised to have all satisfactorily settled by the time of the next annual meeting. Accordingly he built an eight sided hoxise in which to hold the annual jubilee. This octagonal domicile was fitted with a door and a window on each side and* a round table in the center. This arrangement made it possible for each family of the (/Groats to enter by his own door and to sit at a table which was practically "without a head." This famous house was long a landmark in Britain and even to this day is one of the Englishman's starting points i of measurement.

Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses^ peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States, for any case of Leucorrbea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they cannot cure. All they o?*k is a fair and reasonable trial of thetr means of cure. They have the most remarkable record of cures made by this world-famed remedy ever placed to the credit of any preparation especially designed for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments. A beautiftd Georgia lady, Vice-President of i the E*?t End Palmetto Club, of Savannah, and J prominent socially there, relates the following j experience: "You certainly have produced the finest medicine for suffering women that is to be had in the country. I want to recommend it especially to mothers. I was seventeen years old when my darling boy woa born. Felt very exhausted and weak for a long time, and it seemed I couki not get my strength bock. My sister-in-law bought me a bottle of Dr. Pierce s Favorite Prescription (after I had tried several of the other remedies which are so much adve.tised. and found no relief). I had little faith in the medicine at the time and was so weak ana sick that I felt discouraged, but within a week after I had commenced taking your ' Prescription' I was like a different woman. New Hfe and vitality seemed to come with each succeeding day. until, in a few weeks, I was in fine health, ana a happv, hearty woman.

Animals and Telegraph Poles. "A strange thing is the effect of electrical energy on birds and wild beasts," says a telegraph lineman quoted In the Philadelphia Record. "Woodpeckers are continually tapping telegraph poles. In the country you will find everywhere poles honeycombed by the sturdy bills of woodpeckers. Tbe birds mistake the humming sound inside the poles for the humming of insects, and it is to get at these supposed insects that they make their perforations. "Bears, on the other hand, think tbe humming comes from bees, and they overturn tbe stones at the pole's base in their endeavor to get at tbe honey. Wolves are afraid of the sound. A wolf won't go near a telegraph pole under any circumstances." An Appetizer.

So Jong as the wails of a building are sound and tl>e bricks or stones, well cemented together, offer no fissures or cracks for the plant to force its way Into, there is nothing whatever to fear. Should the ivy, however, find on opening. and so thrust itself into the wall, the natural and continuous expansion of its parts will tend to loosen the stones and hasten the decay of the building. A fair growth of ivy on sound walls that allow of no advances beyond the superficial attachment of the claspers, or aerial roots, as they are called, is altogether beneficial. It promotes dryness and warmth, counteracts the corrosive action of the atmosphere and is at once a shelter and an ornament. These aerial roots arc not sources of nutrition, but merely serve as mechanical support to the climbing ivy. The contention that they sap the whole of the moisture from mortar, leaving it excessively dry and crumbling, has th^rofnre no foundation in fact?Lon don Standard.
