A candidate for the royal engineers some years ago was told by his in structor to draw up the plans and spec ifications for a railway viaduct tc con nect two high hills, between which ran a small stream. In due course an excellent set of drawings was presented, one showing the bridge in its completion, N ith a sketch of the surroundings, anA on which sat two men, with their legs hanging over tha side, fishing. The drawing was returned with the request that the men be removed from the bridge. Upon receiving the paper the second time the professor discovered that his instructions had been carried out, but that the two men were seated on the bank of the stream, still in quest of representatives of the finny tribe. Again was the paper returned. and this tine with positive orders to re move the uen from the drawing alto gether. Imagine the consternation which overspread the features of the learned instructor upon receiving the papers for a third time to find two little graves and tombstones with ap propriate epitaphs situated near the bank of the stream. His orders had been obeyed and the men removed al together.-London Answers. Trial Catarrh treatment are being mailed out free, on request, by Dr. Shoop, Racine Wis. These tests are proving to the people-without a pen ny's cost-the great value of this scien tific prescription known to druggists everywhere as Dr. Shoop's Catarrh Remedy. Sold by W. E. Brown & Co. The Invention of Spinning. The invention of the art of spinning was ascribed by the ancients to Miner va, the goddess of wisdom. The date 1500 B. C. is given as that of the be ginning of the art in Greece, under the direction of the king. of Arcadia, but pictured inscriptions on Egyptian monuments show that the use of the spindle and distaff was known in that country much earlier. The first distaff was simply a stick, around which the fiber to be spun was loosely coiled, held in the left hand; the spindle was a sort of top set in motion by a twirl of the hand, the fiber passing between the finger and tLU--b of the right hand. This in- i -. -:as improved upon in the cours, % time by placing the spin die in a frame and making It revolve by mechanical action of the hand or foot in connection with a wheel or treadle, thus giving the true spinning wheel. The first recorded use of this was in the early years of the sixteenth century, but it was probably made and used long before this. The first spin ning jenny, a machine working eight spindles, was invented in 1767. The finest Cotfee substitute ever made, has recently been produced by Dr. Shoop of Racine Wis. You don't have to boil it twenty or thirty minutes "made in a minute," says the doctor. "health coffee" is really the closet cof fee imitation ever vet produced. Not a grain of real coffee in it either, health coffee imitation is made from pure toasted cereals or grains, with malt, nuts, etc., really it would fool an expert-were he to unknowingly drink it for coffee. The Manning Grocery Co. Sandy and the Mare. A Scottish paper tells a story of San dy Mc-, a Forfarshire farmer who had been spending an hour or two in the evening with a friend a couple of miles away. It was a moonlight night, and Sandy, after partaking freely of his friend's hospitality, was riding quietly home across the sheep pastures on his "guid auld mare," when they camne to an open ditch, which his mare refused to cross. . "Hoot awa, Maggie," said the rider, "this winna dae. Ye maun jist gang ower." He turned back about 100 yards, wheeled round and gave the mare a touch of his whip. On she went at a brisk canter, but as they reached the edge of the ditch she stopped dead and shot Sandy clean over to the other side. Gathering himself up, Sandy looked his mare straight in the face and said: "Vera weel pitched Indeed, ma lass. But hoo are ye goin' to get ower yer sel', eh?'' He Was an Expert at Figures After an absence of several years a one time cavalier of a lady called on her. He found her in the company of her three children. "Well, well!" he said. "And how old are they?" "Johnny," answered the lady, "is seven, Julia Is five and Maud is two." ,'Dear me!" he cried, alarm In his voice. "Is it possible 4.ime flies like that? Who would think that you had been married fourteen years?"-Philal delphia Ledger. When the Stomach, Hfeart, or Kidney nerves get weak, then these organs al ways fail.

Snakes have no melicinal qualities, and the following popular notions are myths: That galls of snakes are an antidote for snake bites; that their oil Is good for rheumatism2, baldness and deafness; that wearing their skins will cure rheumatism or stiffness; that a snake heart, oil or blood Is good for consumption or other ils; that snake flesh should be eaten for blood disor ders; that a second bite of the snake In the same place will cure or counter act the first bite; that rattlers of snakes re charms. The Modern Restlessness. Like the Athenians of old, most peo ple are vainly searching for some new thing, only to look upon it when they ind It with suspicion. Of the vast majority it Is as true today as it was first written They eat, they drink, they sleep, they plod. They go to church on Sunday, And many are afraid of God, And more of Mrs. Grundy. -London Ladies' Field.
