Nature has provided the stomach with certain natural fluids known as the digestive juices, anp it is through these juices that the food we eat is acted upon in such a way as to produce the rich, red blood that flows through the viens of our body and thereby b makes us strong, healthy and robust and it is the weakening of these dines- p tive juices that destroyes health. It is a our own fault if we destroy our own h health, and yet it is so easy for any one to put the stomach out of order. When r' you need to take something take it promptly, but take something youn know is reliable-something like Kodol b For Dyspepsia and Indigestion. Kodol is pleasant to take, it is reliable and is guaranteed to give relief. It is sold by W. E. Brown & Co. MAY FIRES. Ancient Scotch Custom Which Involved Human Sacrifice. Sir John Sinclair's "Statistical Ac- r count of Scotland" contains notices of r many old customs, which still contin- 1 ned to be observed in the Highland's, though they were even then fast dying out. From the eleventh volume of that great work, which was published In 1791 and the succeeding years, we learn, on the authority of the minister of Callender, Perthshire, that the boys b of the township assembled in a body upon the moors on May day and pro- I ceeded to dig a circular trench, leaving the soil in the center undisturbed, so as t to form a low table of green turf suf ficient in size to accommodate the whole party. They lighted a fire and prepared a custard of milk and eggs and a large oatmeal cake, which they baked upon a stone placed in the embers. Wbn they had eaten the custara, they di-ided the sI cake into as many equal portions as there were persons in the assembly n and daubed one of those pieces with charcoal until it was perfectly black. They then placed all the pieces of cake together in a bonnet, and each in turn a drew one blindfolded, the holder of the bonnet being entitled to the last piece. The boy who drew the blackened por- p tion was destined to be sacrified and c was compelled to leap three times through the flames. Although the ceremony had degen erated into a mere pastime for boys, it y is evident that it must once upon a time have involved the actual sacrifice of a human .being in order to render e the coming summer fruitful.-Gentle- s; man's Magazine. A QUICK TOUCH.

All over the island the roads iade originally by the Spanish and Tench have fallen into ruin, and the iick forests in the interior are peo led by depraved savages. A story told by Mr. Sandham, the ,ell known American artist illustrates ie then state of discipline which pre ailed among the S,000 ruffians who Dre the courtesy title of "the army." Mr. Sandham and an Irish friend ho resided in the island were one day atching the commandanta of the Hai an army reviewing his troops. "Would you like to see me break up Le whole lot?" asked the Irishman. "Of course," replied the artist The Irishman then took five silver dIns from his pocket and, with a loud tout, threw them up in the air.

After pocketing them t ith dignity and restoring order among a s men he ordered the Irishman to be rested for bringing discredit on the my.

WHEN FASTING IS FATAL Loss of Weight Below a Certain Point Brings Death. During a long fast the daily loss of weight becomes gradually less and less. Death comes when the total loss has reached a certain percentage, which ;ercentage varies with the original ra-ight. Fat animals may lose half their weight, thinner ones perhaps two ifths. A man or woman of rather spare iabit, weighing 143 pounds. could, -herefore, lose about fifty-five pounds >efore succumbing. Heart action, res )iration and blood pressure remain un iltered during starvation, but the tem )erature of the body falls nearly a de ree in most cases. The secretion of ;astric juice ceases, but saliva and bile tre still formed. The duration of life lepends upon the extent and activity > the physiological processes. Children die after a fast of from hree to five days, during which they Lave lost a quarter of their weight. Iealthy adults, however, have fasted ixty days when water has been taken. A German physician notes the case f a woman, aged forty-seven, who ied after a fast of forty-three days, luring which she drank water freely. ier weight, which was 143 pounds a 'ear before her death, was reduced to inety-nine pounds. It was a case of uicidal melancholia, and the woman atlently carried out her horrible un ertaking so quietly as to scarcely at ract the notice of her family and died ,t last calmly and peacefully without omplaint or apparent evidence of suf ering. WRITE IN SECRET. "he Way Chinese Court Historians Do Their Work. There are court historians in China, s there are in other countries, but ber- is one striking difference, and it es in the fact that the work of the hinese court historians does not see he light until the reigning dynasty ames to an end. In this way these Celestial historians ave an opportunity to describe most -uthfully the virtues and vices of the alorous rulers and the real signifi ance of the events which take place uring their regime. They can write that they please without fear of cen are, for they know that their work ill not be published as long as the ?igning dynasty lasts. This has been the rule for more than ,000 years, the first court historian aving been appointed by the impe al house of Han. which reigned from 36 B. C. until 25 A. D. The duty of these historians Is to rite plain accounts of all the events at occur during their tenure of of e.

The nearest shot, says the Jewish F Chronicle of London, was that of Stu art M. Samuel, M. P., who said that b he could tell a story that would illus- b trate exactly what was meant by the term. There was a poor man who n could not find anything to do. What ever he tried failed, and when he t sought employment he could not ob- b tain it. Day after day he sat (schemihl- I like) on a bench in the public gardens e waiting for some one to offer him work, but the offer never came. For a whole year he sat thus each day un- b ti at last he attracted the attention of :a merchant, who said to himself: "I want some one at my warehouse, and I I think I shall offer the job to that poor man who is always sitting so pa tiently and wistfully as though he -is looking for employment. Tomorrow I shall speak to him." The morrow came. and the poor man started for his usual walk to his usual seat. As, how- c ever. he was leaving his house he said to his wife: "My dear, I have been out ike this for a whole year, and noth ing has ever come of it. Today I think [ shall stay at home." And he did. and he missed the merchant. That is tc the schemihl. y A LIFE OF THE ROOFS. t y ardens Flourish on the Housetops of R Florence, Italy.
