I finally decided try Dr. King's Nerve and Bone Lini ment. Two or three applications en tirelv relieved me of the pain. I have used it in ny family with good results. D. C. Howell. Sold by Dr. W. E. Brown & Co. Translated Into Vernacular. "Cap'n" Jothain Slow had strong ob jections to what he called "the new minister's high talk." Since his set tlement over the Clamtown parish Cap'n Jotham bad been heard to say that "church was for them that needed it," and his conduct seemed to imply that he was not of that number. Cap'n Jotham's own language was of a primitive and unadorned variety, and nothing pleased him more than a chance to translate the minister's re marks to Cap'n Wllson' Pegg, the best Clamtown story teller. Cap'n Pegg was deaf, and the minister's voice of ten failed to reach him. One night at a neighborhood gather ing Cap'n Pegg in the course of a vivid narrative had referred to "the big fire." "Was it the consensus of opinion." said the minister in a mild and inef fectual tone, "that the conflagration was the result of some accident or the work of an incendiary?" "Hey?" said Cap'n Pegg, staring dully at the minister and then turning to his faithful friend for light, "What he wants to know," called Cap'n Slow in his shrillest tone, "is whether the big fire was sot or ketch ed!"-Youth's Companion. Breeding Insects For Wa. Among the queer industries of China is that of breeding wax producing in sects in the Chienchang valley during May. But the Insects will not work In their birthplace .and have to be. car ried 400 miles in gourds by porters traveling only by night There are thousands of insects in the gourds -and wrapped in leaves picked from the wood oil tree. His journey ended, the porter immediately goes to his master and delivers his burden of gourds. At once the leafy bags are tied to the branches of the ash trees, which are only five or six feet high. By Sept- 1 the trees look as if covered with snow. It is a snow, however, not amenable to the temperatures which wipe out ordi nary snow. The branches are then cut off, and their quarter of an inch of pure white coating is scraped off. The wax is heated, strained and turned into molds to be used for lighting, fur niture polish and imparting gloss to silk.-St. James' Gazette. Thiis Lines on Sardine Boxes. If you are fond of sardines, here is something that will be useful for you to know. On nearly every box con taining these delicacies will be found two parallel lines cut in the top. The dismnce between the lines denotes the size of the fish, whether those in the tin are small, medium or large. Of course the smaller the sardines the better is their flavor, and therefore fthe -boxes with the lines close together con tain the finest fish. Some dishonest firms are very fond of selling pllchards to their customers and calling them sardines, but If you make up your mind never to buy a box unless .it has the two closely drawn lines you may be certain of obtaining the article you asked for.-London Standard. Lady Tennyson. Shortly after Lady Tennyson's mar riage one of her women friends wrote the following: "We would find Mirs. Tennyson alone in the large drawing room, always writing, arrayed in a dress of soft gray merino trimmed with velyet or fur and with a long train, a piece of rich old lace, worn in stead, of a cap, drooping over her hair behind and coming to a point in front She was extremely kind in lending us books. Among these I particularly re member Fichte's philosophical works, which she admired greatly. Her man ner was always most gracious and dig nified, perhaps rather lanuguid, but this arose chiefiy from lack of vitality or physical strength." A Story of Sam Houston. There is a story about General Sam Houston of Texas and a practicing physician who did not like the old gen eral, being strenuously opposed to him politically. One day after a hdated po litical discussion the physician said, "General, I like you well enough social ly, but plitically I would not believe you on earth." "I would believe you, doctor," was the quiet reply of the gen eral. "Then, sir," vehemently exclaim ed the doctor, "you have a much bet ter opinion of me than I have of you." "Not a better opinion, doctor, but I simply have a little more politeness than you have." Sa..e Advice. ."Now you're your own master," said~ the wise father, "you must begin to build up a reputation for yourself." "All right governor." replied the youth. "And remember," continued the old gentleman, "you can't build up a repu tation with the bricks you bring home in your hat"-Exchange. Marveled. Tommy-I can count up to five on me fingers, can't I, ma?

That is the reason they are dead. Only those who realize their Ignorance and supplement it with un tiring watchfulness last long at this queer business that I'm in. "Sooner or later most afimals of the cat kind become utterly intractable and remain so. 'Going bad' is the professional term for this. Rarely do they return to their old amenable ways. Henceforth they are of no use as performers and are relegated to the exhibition cages, for any man entering the cage of a lion or tiger that has gone bad is instantly attacked. This is one of the terrors of the trade. Symptoms of the change of heart are apparent enough sometimes, particu larly in animals which are growing old. Occasionally, however, some young beast, formerly as obedient as you could wish, will turn murderous with out cause or warning. If her trainer gets out alive he is lucky. If he ever enters her cage again he's a fool." McClure's. The Noisy Birds of the Night. All the night birds are noisy. They cannot consort with one another in happy companies, as do the warblers and thrashes and finches, and sing and whisper, but must call lo.udly and long to one another in the darkness. On coasts where petrels and certain other night hunting sea birds abound, all day sitting on their eggs or hiding in burrows, you will hear no sound from morning till night. but after dark the air is filled with shrill cries. The loud, reiterated calling of the southern chuck-will's-widow and of its northern cousin is familiar. A whippoorwill will sound its cry several hundred times in succession without a pause. -Owls hoot or utter a harsh sort of laughter, rarely pleasant to listen to, and night herons and bitterns squawk and boom. Sweet songs occasionally heard in the darkness are those of wakeful day birds, as the nightingale or our own oven bird.-Ernest Ingersoll in Harper's Magazine. Right-Living and Good Looks. Today our great cities show propor tionately a higher average of dress and general striving after personal attrac tiveness among both men and women than the great cities of any other coun try. - Success depends.in the largest meas ure upon health and, the personal im pression one makes upon his fellow. men, and properly to develop and to maintain the "points" that make for personal attractiveness Is to develop and maintain health. For example, how many men and' women stop drinking and overeat ing because fat is fatal to good looks? The struggle to kieep looking young is a struggle to ke'ep in perfect health. And what .a blessing that is to the present and all future generations! The price of good looks is right liv ing, and the reward. of right living Is health.-Saturday Evening Post Carlyle's Courteous Side. In the "Retrospects" of Professor William Knight of the University of St Andrews are some Interesting anec dotes. Among these is a bit from a let ter by Dr. Maclagan, who attended Thomas Carlyle during Carlyle's -last years: "My personal experience of' Car lyle was this: He wras the most courte ous man I ever met Never once did that old man fail to rise up to receive me nor allow -me to leave his room without walking to the door with me while he had strength to do so. After death all the ruggedness and the wrin kles disappeared from his face. But for the beard it was like that of a wo man,so delicate and beautifully mold ed it was." Protect the Black. People are more likely to catch cold: in the back than they are generally aware of, and if nieglected it may prove aserious matter. The back, especially between the shoulders, should always be kept well covered,, and never lean with your back against anything that is cold. Never sit with the back In a direct draft, and when warming it by. the fire do not continue to keep 'the back exposed to the heat after It has' become comfortably warm. To do so Is debilitating.-.Tournal of Health. "Burned" by Cold. Intense cold, as is well known, burns -If we may use the term-like heat If a "drop" of air at a temperature of 180 degrees below zero were placed up on the hand it would have the same ef feet as would the same quantity of molten -steel or lead.
