7 r " / \ - A ~ LABRADOR A BARREN WASTE Ibipoasible to Cultivate,; But Its Waters Teem with Innumerable FLah ?Country Unpopulated. 3*he coast of Labrador is the edjfe of a vast solitude of rocky lulls, split aud blasted* by the frosts and beateu by the waves ot the Atlantic for unknown ages, nays the Hostou Transcript. A grand headland, yellow, brown and black in its nakedness, is ever in ?ight, one to the north of you and one to the south. Here aud there upon them are strips und patches of pale green mosses, I lean grasses aud dwarf shrubbery. There are no forests except in Hamilton inlet. Occas onally miles of precipices front the sea, \ in which fancy may roughly shape / all the structures of human art. More freuiient fhnn hoUflliinda ^ ?ud perpendicular sea fronts are lite sea slopes, often bald and tame, and then the perfeetion ot all that is picturesque and rough. . In the interior the blue hilis and stony vales that wind up from among them from the sea have a sumiuerlike und pleasant air. One finds himself peopling these regions and dotting their hills, valleys end wild shores with human inhabitants, but a second I thought, and a mournful one it is, tells that no men toil in the fields away there, no women keep the home off there, no children play by the brooks or shout around the country sehoolhouse, no bees come home to the hive, no smoke curls from the farmhouse chimney, no orchard blooms, no bleating sheep tlock the mountain side with whiteness and no heifer j lows in the twilight. There is nobody there, there never were but a miserable anil scattered few, and there never will be. It is a great and terrible wilderness thousands of miles n L extent and lonesome to the wild M' animals and birds. Left to the " still visitation of the lip! t frojm the sun, moon and stars and the auroral tires, it is only tit to look upon and then be given over to its primeval solitariness. But for the living things of its waters, the cod, salmon and seal, which bring thousands of llslier ; men to its waters and traders to its bleak shores, Labrador would r P1LE3 OF TOY TRUMPETS.

Folks Becoming Sensible In the Fast Century?Ancient Footwear Being Discarded. Somebody wants to know if boots are made any more. They uie, answers the St. Louis StarChronicle. Your Uncle Hiram, who will be 81 his next birthday and who (louts all new-fangled things from automobiles to patent cornshellers, wears boots. He says the rheumatism would be the death of him without calf-skin cos crings. There ib still a limited market for bootjacks If you will studytlu 'oot covering of men and women lor the last century you will be surprised to see how sensible folks are irettinc. We wpsir shoes instead of boots because they are neater, more comfortable, less expensive and not clumsy. It would be nexf to itupos-uble for Dame Fashion to make us get to boots. Henry Plantagenet, duke of Aujou, wore shoes tlie points of which were two feet in length. That was for the purpose of hiding an excrescence on one of his royal feet. People w ho had no excrescences on their feet followed suit. They had to. In the reign of Queeu Marv square toes were the rage, until a royal proclamation was issued that no shoes were to be worn with toes more than six inches square. In this city a single she. tiiin has an output worth a mi ll 11 dollars a month. We are the greatest shoe manufacturers in the world. Our shoes gv> to all nut.ens. They And increased favor because of their cheapness, durability and elegance. COlJLD BEAR MORE OF THAT Performing B irsian E^qr Embraces Giil ic'^h a Date nn She Has Visions of "Gernd." The great performing Russian bear had escajied from the captivity under w hich he had chafed for m- many months; but !??* was finding that liberty had its drawbucks. For many weary hours ho had prowled, hut nothing in the siiajx* of food had In* seen. Suddenly lie gave a growl of delight, for, sitting on a st ile, he es pied a 1'khnsoinc little lady, wlio was evidently awaiting the coming of a young man. B'aiin did not stop to ponder i!pun h;s good fortune; he seized her in a i.ii ' y hug. For awlule she said nothing; hut as he exerted more of his tremendous strength she murmured: ' I don't ill iik you are quite as strong as yon were, tierald." Then nice more inelaneholy settled u; ' n It ruin. He had done his best 1 ui the \?.?ing ladies of this country were beyond him. With a roar of despair he retraced his steps to the menagerie, and gave himself up witho'iit a struggle. STREET CRIME IN PARIS. Aa in Lb ?

A "Don't" Book Will Tell You of Numberless Mistakes Mads by I People In High Society. "Did you ever pick up a 'don't' book and read it and see how many mistakes the average, so! called, well bred person makes un- ! j consciously, or through bad habits?" asked a young lawyer according to the Birmingham News, i "Perhaps slang has a great deal to do with it, as slung expressions : are often used in such way as to | make tliein resemble good Eng j lish. We say a piece of cake is awfully' good, or a girl it; 'awfully' pretty, when we mean'very.' We j ! say a wedding'occurs,'when notli- j ing but accidents occur, and as for j that word May,' how few people there are who are not afraid to use it. We'lay'a thing down, but j we ouwselves 'lie' down. 'Lay, laid,' laid takes an object; 'lie, lay, ; lain' does not. How ridiculous it is to say that we'love'candy, when we 'like' it; a plate of soup could hardly be 'lovely,' but a rose could i be. And that word 'got.' It i seems almost an unnecessary i word if care would be taken. The words 'he,' 'she,' 'him,' and 'her' i are really the most troublesome words in the English language to most people. 1 was sho'-ked to hear a society girl here say; 'Mrs. lilank lias invited she and 1 to her | house.' They seem to he afraid of I the word 'her' and 'me.' To say 'she asked her and me' sounds ! queer, but it is correct. How iuan\ careless people say.: 'He i asked for you and 1.' The word 'ain't* is fast growing in disfavor. I Few know that the wordggravnte' does not mean 'provoke' or 'irrtate,' and that they must not say a 'new beginner.' We expect a visitor but we 'suspect' he is sick. A man dies 'of' a disease, not 'from,' and to say 'do like 1 do' should he 'do as 1 do.' The word ('preventive* is to be used instead (lf > !....i *1.~ A v>i i'i? >< uiiinii-, iiiiu nit" icriii 1 mistake,* instead of '! am mistaken.' one could go on indefinitely in the line of speech and writing, hut when it cornea to cti<iuctte and table manners, bow ; many there are who fall short of the rules laid out by the standard on such matters." PINEAPPLE FOR DIGESTION. Ju'ce of This Fruit Mny Take Place of Pepsin in Relieving Stomach of Duties. Pineapple juire bids fair to take the place of pepsin as an encourager of digestion, ltecent investigations have shown that for such a purpose it is wonderfully clllcaeious, rivaling if it does not excel the pi od ict of poor piggy. If a piece of ordinary beefsteak be placed in a bowl of pineapple juice, it is found, after a few hours, to be reduced to a lump of mere jelly, having undergone a proiess in digestion. In the same way the juice, when drank, acts upon the food in the stomach, and is caput le, it is authoritatively said, of digesting something like a thousand times its own weight ..t ....v.,-1..- ? \j i ruiuiu auuMtiliri ^, Now. th" reason back of these facts is that the juice of the pineapple contains an "cnzym," a spends ol ferment, which attacks tlie beefsteak ot other food and disorganizes it. It is such an extreme h powerful torment that, acting tuuch in the same way as pepsin, it will, in the course of a tew hours, cause the substance ujhui which it works to dissolve and melt away. The name "bromelin" has been given to it by science. It is extremely easy to separate tic digestive principle from tic1 pineapple juice. All you have to () > is to take some of the juice and <1 -solve a tables|>ooiifii) or so of common table salt in it.
