We were travelling through Texas and stopped at a little settlement iu the woods. The only passenger that boarded the train at the stepping place as an old man, and when we say old e mean very’ old. He seemed a relic f antcdeluvian times, as much out f place on a railway as a mastadon ould be in a modern menagerie. He did not seem to be travelling for pleasure. The passing landscape had no interest for him. When the con ductor came through* he seemed In clined to ignore the old man and pass him without collecting the fare. The old man, however, declined to be ig nored. From an Inside pocket he produced a worn and greasy account book, and from that extracted a pass that was nearly worn to rags. The conductor, with an air of impatience, looked at it carelessly and passed on. The old man, apparently satisfied that he had forced the conductor tb~ note the fact that he had a pass, sank back into his senile reverie and rumina tion. At a station about 30 miles up the road he got off, moving slowly and with difficulty. The possession of a pass by one so little likely to have it excited our curi osity, and we dug the history of it out of one bf the brakemen. When the road was building through that Danger of Relying on Oy coy to tect a Pro ci Some years ago the Goldschmii Company, of Els sen, Germany, per fected a process of detinnin£ tin scrap, but instead of patenting the process they depended on sec|^cy. to make it profitable. The usual result^ of suclf practice followed. the employes ka<SWing'~ — itfe" secret, proved unfaithful and sold their knowledge to a concern which com menced the work in Holland and from | there it was brought to America. The' American concern In turn was served i in the manner. The result was | that undesirable competition was es tablished by two plants, one at Pauls- boro, N. J., and the other at Joliet, 111. The company first on the ground in this country ccmmenced suit again the competitor, seeking to enjoin them from using the knowledge obtained through the defection of one of their employes. The case was thrown out of court, as the court would not stain its hands with such disreputable pro ceedings, none of the parties hav ing good standing. The operation of a plant on the principle of secrecy puts a premium on dishonesty. The patent laws of most countries offer adequate protection for most inven tions and discoveries; if that protec tion is not sought, but rather that of secrecy, the possibility of recovery of damages in case the secret is stol en by competitors is very slight in deed.—Machinery. . .foRTfc' rrl PRICES ^ r FLAKE CELEI FOOD What is a Backache?

Two Theories in Regard Formation. to Their country the old nyin owned a pfece f h of land through which it was desired r „, , It is commonly believed, says the Geographical Record, that natural bridges, of which the Natural Bridge of Virginia is the best known Am erican example, are due to the falling in of cavern roofs, leaving only a part to span the stream which the destruction of the cavern has brought to the surface. By a study of the North Adams Natural Bridge, Professor Cleland has been led to the conclusion that in this case at least the origin is quite different. In this case the bridge seems to be due to the solution of the limestone along a joint plane near the former course of Hudson Brook. At first only a small amount of water seeped along the joint plane but after awhile, it a channel large enough to ulvert the entire brook un- i dp.- the surface, giving rise to the t JWi to obtain a right of w*y. The old man fought the company vigorously, and refused to give or sell them a right of way through condition thai annual, y U except on , rass—not | com- i old bkUrf Walcott had previously ofr^red a similar theory for the Natural Bridge of Virginia, and Cleland conclude^, that while the falling in of cavern roofs may occasionally give rise to natural bridges the most common cause,foY -such bridges in marble, li il€stone, sandstone aud lava is that outlined above. For The Sick Room. An ancient way, and one still indeeu commonly enough followed in the sici room, is to place over a tumbler cot- taining medicine, for the protection ->f the contents of the glass, a piece of paper, or maybe a letter envelope, the person caring for the sick undertaking to remember how often the medicine is to he given. There is now made for such use, says the New York Sun, a contrivance of porcelain that is a combination tumbler cover and medi cine time indicator. On the under side of this cover fchere is a flange that fits down within the rim of the glass, to keep the cover from slipping off, while upon the top of the cover is marked a dial like that on a clock face with the spaces between the hours sub-divided by marks into quarters. Marked across the face of this dial are the words “Take next dose at,” and placed over the rim of this cover is a little movable spring clamp, with a pointer on its upper inner end. With this combination tumbler cover and medicine time indicator in use, if the medicine is to be given every hour, for instance and the medicine has been administered, say, at eleven o’clock, you then shift the pointer along to point to twelve and so continue.

An "intelligent animals’ competi tion” has been held in Paris by a society whose members believe that dumb ammais have reasoning focal’ * ties. They believe that animals, while acting mechanically in some cases and instinctively in others, are also cap able of forming associations of Ideas, which one philosophical school holds to be the foundation of reason. In the late contest trained “learned” animals were not rewarded. The judges consider that trick-performing creatures, taught by laborious and often cruel methods, do not thus show real intelligence. Dozens of dogs which went through rifle drill, cats which jumped through hoops, and fowls which danced the polka, were sent up to the show, but, much to the surprise of their owners, took no prizes. The silver gilt first, medal went to a Japanese dog, which gave a different bark and made a different gesture to express various wants; for Instance, putting its paw to its jaw with a peculiar yaping when it was hungry’. It thus showed undoubted capacity for forming associations of ideas. The silver second medal was bestowed jointly on a dog, a cat, and a hen, which played absolutely like children with their mistress. She had a game of football with them in the presence of the judges, and the uni* mals enjoyed it thoroughly, whereas the idea of play and make believe is often supposed to be peculiarly hu- man.—Boston Budget. 1/tV m i Miss Maude Morris They do not realize that the back is the mainspring of woman’s organism, and quicklv indicates by aching a dis eased condition of the female organs or kidneys, and that the aches and pains will continue until the cause is removed.

OUTDOOR LIFE Will Not Offset the 111 Kfr’ccts of Coffee When One Cannot Digest It. A farmer says: “It was not from liquor or tobacco that for ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach troubley they were caused by the use of cof fee until I got so bad I had to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eating. There were times when 1 could eat only boiled milk and bread and when I went to the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength. “I doctored with doctors and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way of medicine, but if I got any better it only lasted a little while until I was almost a walking skeleton. “One day I read an ad. for Postum and told my wife I would try it, and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge: “I quit coffee entirely and used Postum in its place. I have regained my health entirely and can eat any thing that is cooked to eat. I have increased in weight until now I weigh more than I ever did; I have not taken any medicine for my stom ach since I began using Postum. Why, I believe Postum will almost digest an iron wedge. “My family would stick to coffee at first, but they saw the effects it had on me and when they were feel ing bad they began to use Postum, one at a time, until now we all use Postum.” Name give by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

There are several ways of cooking and serving asparagus, the general way being to have it plainly boiled and served on toast. This with oiled butter, a good white sauce or sauce Hollandaise, is a most acceptable dish; but in addition here are a few recipes for cooking and dressing asparagus in different tasty ways: Stewed Asparagus with Poached Eggs.--Blanch in salt water one small | bundle of asparagus, cut in two-inch lengths. Drain and dip them in butter and stew with a little Bechapael sauce. Dish up. surround with neatly trimmed poached eggs placed on pieces of toast the same size.

Asparagus on Toast.—Scrape, wash I and cut the asparagus at as nearly as possible the same length, turn the | points together and tie up in bundles.

The author of “Very Far West In deed” has many amusing stories to tell of his adventures on the Fraser River at the time of the gold excite ment in British Columbia, now nearly forty years ago. He was making his way through the mountains in com pany with an Irishman when this oc curred: Two prAhree ndles from the ferry I, with one of the laden mules, fell behind. Pat was twenty or thirty yards ahead of me, and I was urging on the lagging mule with gentle en treaties. Finding these unavailing, I adopted a more violent expedient, and threw a stone at him. The stone— it was a good sized one—missed the mule, but hit Pat in the back. „ With many exclamations of rage, Pat descended from his perch, and proceeded to lick the mule. Hardly able to keep from laughing, I inquired. “What’s the matter, Pat?” ' “Matter enough.
