All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. Th.?v work nieht and dav.

The clerk cannot be too neaf in his appearance? that i.;. lie should dress with conmion sense and not iva h the degree of snobbery bv ox.rdress. There is nothing tuure disgu?- ing tc the patron of a grocery store tunn to see some slovenly clerk with dirty hands and soiled ciotbes handling the foodstuffs which the customer desire^ to buy. It has been known that tilth! ness on the part of the clerk has driven customers from the store. It la just as easy to keep clean as it is to be dirty, and cleanliness always pays. You can mark it down wherever you find a clefk who is "run down at the heels" in appearance that he Is a nonprogressive kind of fellow and not likely to make great headway. It is not a sign of economy, because an economical man is generally neat In appearance, though bis clothes may not be of the costliest kind. Take at the drv goods counter. There Is no use of being a dude; neither la there any case for one being dressed like a hobo. In fact, the large department stores In the greater cities of the country demand neatness on the part of the employee, and even failure to have shoes properly shined or wearing of dirty linen Is enough for a reprimand, and a few reprimands on account of this neglect of personal dress mean discbarge. Cleanliness Is not alone "next to godliness." but In case of the clerk often It means success. CLEANUPS. s i Tr V?fu? of RooogflizJng tho Work of Children In This Lino. JJaathampton, Mass., started a cleanop movement In April and. though the lead was taken by the Village Improvement society, the young people were very active. They organized a Junior Village Improvement society and were so efficient In the campaign for a cleaner town that when the day tof carting away the rubbish came they found that the older people had remembered them by marking the coverings on the horses with "Jun. V. I. S." The materials for loading the carts and wagons came from cellars, back yards, gardens and vacant lots. The hauling ran into a second day. The changed appearance of things was so much appreciated that an occasional Saturday during the summer was devoted to keeping the appearance of the town up to the top notch. Children are very effective in work of this kind, and they learn not only to clean up. but to scatter less rubbish for future cleanups. Gradually, Mmv apu ?iiua tr? rpnf'h their elders with the educational process, nrd finally things are kept where they belong and carted away at convenient intervals. thus giving the town a permanent holiday garb. Roadside Improvement. A strictly rural community, having no park and yet desiring to embellish the fair earth in its neighborhood, may take charge of a mile or more of one or more roads running through the district. I-et them be kept clean from fence to fence, beginning with the first soaking rain of autumn. When the ground has been several times wet and the surface agitated sufficiently to generate and then kill all weed seeds sow flower seeds of various kinds In zones. No grander sight could be created than such a stretch of road in early spring, when the flowers are all In bloom. Civic Improvement Trip. The state department of agriculture In Texus recently secured the services of D. II. Hemenway, a Massachusetts mau who has become au authority on school gardens, for an educational campaign of a month or more. Mr, Hemenway traveled from town tc town, speaking on school gardens, the home beuutiful and civic improvement. Kor the most part his lectures were illustrated. The interesting fea ture of the news is that this mission ary Journey whs taken pnder the aus pices of a state department. Judged by Appaaranoas.

How an appalling calamity in his ' family was prevented is told by A D McDonald of Fayetteville.N C,R F D, tfo 8, "My sister had consumption," he writes, "she was very thin and pale, had no appetite and seemed to ' grow weaker every day, as all remedies failed,till Dr King's New Discovery was tried and so completely cured her that she has not been troubled with a cough since. It's the best medicine I ever saw or heyd of." ' For coughs, colds, lagrippe, asthma, croup, hemorrhage, ail bronchial troubles it has no equal, 50c, $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by M L Allen. H?r Priviltg*. "You insist on doing this?" asked the husband. "I do," replied the wife firmly. "But, my dear"? "Stop!" she commanded. "Nothing you can say will alter my determination! My mind is made up." "In that case," replied the husband, who had transmuted the base metal of experience into the precious gold of knowledge, "I have nothing more to say. I realize that once possessed of an idea you are, like all your sex, beyond argu , mom. "Do you mean,** demanded the wife, with displeasure, "that 1 am incapable of seeing reason?" "Reason with a woman," answer1 ed the husband from behind his paj per, "is like water on a duck's back, , in one ear and out the other." | "You are wrong!" cried the wife triumphantly. "And to prove it 1 have already changed my mind!"? Smart Set. Baobab Citterns. In central Africa the gigantic baobab tree, whose trunk sometimes attains a diameter of forty : feet, often serves as a natural cistern, retaining rainwater in large quantities in a cavity formed at the | top of the broad trunk. Taking the I hint thus afforded by nature, the i j Arabs artificially hollow out the . trunks of. large baobabs and fill them with water during the prevalence of rains as a provision against the dry season. These cis1 terns are in many cases twenty feet ! in height and eight or ten feet in , diameter. The water i6 used both 1 for drinking and for irrigating mel, j on patches. , i j H?

"Xaitural history, laddie. Losh, I you're far ower young for naitural > j history.
