"My fourteen-year-old daughter was very thin and delicate. She had a bad cough so that I became very much alarmed abo.ut her health. She was nervous and did not sleep well, had very little appetite and doctors did not help her. Having heard so much about Vinol, I decided to give it a trial. It has helped her wonderfully. She can sleep all night now without coughing once; in fact, her cough is gone. Her appetite is greatly im proved and she has gained in weight. Vinol is a wonderful medicine, and I will always keep it In the house. I wish every mother knew what Vinol gill do for delicate children." Mrs. Wm. Archer, 223 Broadway, Long Branch, N. J. This declicious cod liver and iron preparation without oil is a wonderful body-builder and strength-creator for both young and old. We promise to give back your money in every such case where Vinol does not benefit. This shows our faith in Vinol, CURIO US MANX LAWS. Feed and Drink Alone Are Taxed and Debtors Are Imprisoned.

According to the osteopathist. you do not have a perfectly formed spinal col amn. for he is firmly convinced that no person in the world has a back that is perfect. His Ideal is a spine of a particular curve, 1hose twenty-four bones are at equal distances apart. of the same formation on both sides and equally distant from the sides of the body The child's spine is much nearer not mni and far straighter than the adults and the society woman who does no work is more likely to have a back whose curve comes nea'er the ideal than the college athlete The spines of strong men, such as the laborer or ugilist. are most defective. for the reason that constant pull and strai' )u the spinal column accentuate its weaknesses. The Igorrotes. strong a. they are, have weaker and more crook ?d spines than civilized men. The spines of lower animals are sitronger and more normal than otrs rind consequently are not so readily at rected by disease. If man bad de ded to walk on all fours his spine mIght be just as good as his cat's or og's. Spinal trouble started when >r ancestors determined to walk up right, and even after untold centuries [t seems that the human spine has not thoroughly adjusted Itself to our meth >d of going about. Spencer wrote: "That all important organ. the verte bral column. Is as yet but incompletely adapted to the upright posture. Only while the vigor is considerable can here be maintained without apprecla )le effort those muscular contractions which produce the S like flexure and ,ring the lumbar portion into such a position that the line of direction falls vithin it."-New York Sun. AGGRESSIVE REPTILES. King Cobras and Mambas Are the Worst of the Snake Tribe. The majority of snakes are not, as nost people suppose. aggressive in heir habits: but, like the British viper. Far more anxious to get out of the way f the human Intruder than into it. But there ale a few famous, or infa nous, exceptions, and the mamba me of the largest of the cobras and a ative of Africa--is said to be the ost dangerous reptile in the world. [t will fly at anything and anybody. oes out of its way to pick a quarrel with every passerby and has even been mnown to come down from a -tree where it was resting. apparently fast sleep. to try conclusions with a man irmed with a gun. The only snake hat at all approaches the mamba in erocity is the great king cobra or iamadryad of the east. which is larger han the mamba and generally quite as 'eady to interfere with any living crea :are that comes within its ken. It has 3een kuoqwn to chase a man on horse ac-k. and so fast can it travel that it s said none but a swift footed animal ins any chance of escape. The poison of both these snakes is so iowerful that. as some one once stated n an examination paper on reptiles. 'even a scientist when bitten by either if these ferocious creatures (eases to e interested In the matter after the pace of a few minuted." Among the ustralan cobras. the pit z'ipers of america and the great west African ipers, there are certain species that refer the offensive to the defensive ethod. and in most cases It is the ag ressve varIetIes that carry the most oisonous fangs. London Globe. Lead and the Teeth. A tendency of the teeth and gums to isorb lead has been observed by Vik tor laze. a German dentist, among the workers In an accumulator fac 'try. The teeth all had much tartar. tad thatt scraped from the teeth of one man affected with anemia and other svmptms of poIsoning was found by nalysis to contain about one-half of 1 per cent of metallic lead Extracting the seventeen teeth still retained by this man, the metallic lead In the , wns was shown to be 0.038 per rend 0.033 per cent In the roots muf'ei~ ~to give continuous lead into! cation.

Liquid - Air Will- Produce a Worse Wound Than Intense Heat. Whoever has applied a moistened finger to a piece. of frosty metal in winter well remembers the painful ex perience thereby gained of the fact that cold as well as heat can blister the skin. During some experiments in the pro duction of excessively low tempera frures l'ictet. the French investigator, burned himself with cold several times. and the effects were so remarkable that he deemed them worthy of description to :t body Pf scientile m en. It ::lpars that there are two kinds or degrees of cold burn. In the case ot' the less severe "burns" the skin at Grst turns red. but becomes blue the next day. The in!!amed spot swells, and a period varying from a month to six weeks elapses before the wound heals. Wenha the contact with the cold sub stance is longer and more complete a burn of the second degree is produced. A malignant and stubborn wound is formed. and the proces of healing is very slow. .\ drop of liquid air falling on Pie ot's hand produced a cold burn which did uot completely hea1 in six months. while a s-orch from heat aeeidelitally inflicted on the same hand and nearly at the same time was healed in ten or twelve. days.-Iairper's Weekly.

At a dinner which Judith attended with Alexandre Dumas somebody quot ed Alfred dc Musset. and Hugo was led to express his opinion on his illustrious fellow author. "Yes." he said. "he has immense tal ents.- He even boasts that there are some who consider him as good a poet as I am." Dumas jogged Judith's elbow, and it was all she could do to keep from laughing. "At the end of the wenl.' our author relates. "Hugo treated us to a .very strange exhibition. He put a whole orange. rind and all. into his month and then managed to thrust as many pieces of sugar as possible Into his cheeks This achieved. he began to scrunch it all up with his lips tightly closed. In the midst of this operation he swallowed two liqueur, glasses of kirsch and a few minutes later opened his mouth wide It was empty!
