The wheat ripened, fell down and de- posited the seed in the soil again. Next spring the wheat begaa to grow lustily. Some of the neighbors were honest enough to write about it down to the | fugitive in Missouri, and he got inter- ested enough to come back and take a look.

Railroad Slang as Translated.

Extract from report made by head brakeman:

“The con was flipping the tissues in the doghouse. The hind shack was freezing a hot hub near the hind end. Tallow Pot was cracking diamonds in the tank. Eagle Eye was down greas- ing the pig and I was bending the rails when they hit us.”

It was translated by an old timer in the office as follows:

“The conductor was examining the train orders in the cupola. The rear brakeman was cooling a journal. The fireman was breaking coal. The en- gineer was oiling the engine, and the head brakeman was throwing a switch when the trains came together.”— Maine Central.

Making Ducks Lay Black Exrgs.

According to a writer in a French scientific paper, ducks fed on acorns, which they will eat ravenously, not unfrequently lay black eggs. The rea- son is that their eggshell is naturally rich in iron, and this combines with the tannin in the acorn to produce a good, fast black. The same paper states that if fowls are fed on boiled lobster shells they will lay bright red eggs.

The Passing of the “Hayseed.”

Who does not know him, with his goatlike beard, his wispy hair, his “gal- luses” of homely cut, his trousers evolved by the seeming aid of a buzz- saw, his voice of an impossible nasal- ity, his speech uncouth, his gestures ungainly, his greenness amazing? Who has not seen him on the stage of the vaudeville farce or outlined by the overworked caricaturist? No one.

We are familiar with him from ab- surd hat to ludicrous footwear, and have been for years. Whe sees him on the streets of northwestern cities to- day? Noone.

In a modified form he exists in that part of the nation which Bostonese are wont to call “way down east.” He also exists to some extent in the New England that is nearer Boston than Maine, while from New York and New Jersey he is not altogether absent. West of a line drawn north and south through Chicago he is rare—at least as an indigenous variety.

The passing of the “hayseed” is de- sirable. As the farmer becomes more like him of the city he and his children will eare less for the so called delights of metropolitan life, will recognize his innate and indestructible independence and will be better satisfied with his lot. —Minneapolis Times.

What President Was Thist

One day a president of the United States sent for me. He had been elect- ed to that high office, but had not yet been installed.

“T hear,” he said, “that you have just come back from Washington.”

"Te.

“Did you go to the White House? You did? Well, please sit down and tell me all about it. What sert of a house is it? How is it managed? How many rooms are in K? Whereabouts does the president de his work? And hew did you get in there—how de vis- iters manage te see the house while a president and his family are living in Mey

“Why,” I exclaimed, “you have often been to Washington! Have you never visited the White House?”

“No,” said he, “I have only seen the outside of it. I have never even seep a president or, in fact, any great man. Iam so peculiarly constituted that if 1 knew the greatest man in the world could be seen by walking to the corner 1 would not walk there. But now that I am about to make the White Iilouse my home, 1 should very much like to hear all_that you can tell me about it.’—Julian Ralph in Saturday Evening Post.

A Reflection on the Judge.

In an address before the Virginia State Bar association James P. Harvri- son of the Danville bar told tbis story of an eminent judge in Virginia, who sat on the bench with his feet up be fore him, showing his soles to eoun- and audience: “The defense had offered a little negro as a witness for their elient. and the commonwealth’s ‘trorney challenged the witness as too ing to testify. When the pickanin- » had been sworn on the Holy Evan- <olists, he was asked by the common- vvealth's attorney what he had done. ‘| swared,’ said he.

“*And what will happen to you now if you tell a lie? the lawyer roared.

“My mammy. she'll whip me.’

“ ‘Is that all” insinuated the defend- rnt’s attorney.

**No, sah. De debble, he'll get me.’

“And then the judge took his feet Jown. and leaning over the bench with

What Women Don’t Know. “One of the mistakes of women,” said a woman’s lecturer the other day, “is in loving too much. They can ney- er make a mistake in loving, but they ought to be careful in picking out the man. They are rather apt to do it on the grab bag principle. Another of the mistakes of woman is not knowing how to rest, and still another is not knowing how to eat. What women don’t know about both has built 10,000 hospitals. Consider the way of man and be wise. Women worry too much. They are misers to jollity, and they nearly always die leaving a large ac-

count in the Bank of Merriment.”

A Fire In Japan.

A fire in Japan is exciting. The Jap- anese seem to lose their heads -com- pletely in the presence of the fire de- non. The people move from the houses where the fire breaks out into the next, then to another, and so on, until the fire is over, the united families moving from house to house with great non- chalance. A man dancing on his roof with a paper fire god is supposed to avert the danger, and no man is more surprised than he when, in spite of the fire god, the house ignites, and in a moment roof and man fall together. In three days the houses are rebuilt atu aii traces of fire removed.

No Cure for... Bright’s Disease

In ite advanced stages—The Rea- son Why—Danger Prevented by

the Timely Use of Dr. A. W. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pilis.

To understand Bright s Disease is to know that in its advanced stages it is past the reach ef human aid. The cells of the kidneys undergo a wasting change, which leaves them dead so as performing their functions is concerned. Just think of having the kidneys dead. Think of-the poisons left ia the system when these organs could no longer perform their duties as filters of the blood.

It would be difficult to conceive of anything more dreadful, and yet this is the goal to which every case of neglected kidney disease mustlead,

hen the back aches, when urinating is difficult or too frequent, when there are de- posits in the urine after standing for 24 hours, there is no time to lose in procuring Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills.

It is not claimed that they will cure Bright's Disease in its last stages. ‘They are an abso- lute cure for kidney disease, and so long as the kidneys are not entirely wasted away they will give new strength and vigor and enable them to resume their duties of filtering the blood.

Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills will step backache and headache in short order by re- moving the cause, and will positively prevent Bright's Disease. One pill a dose, 250. a box, At all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Ca, Toronto.
