A Birthday Suggeotion.
It le pleasant to be remembered by
far -away friends at Christmas, but I
APPreciate still more the birthday greet-
ings because they seem peeuliarly per -
:tonal, I have one friend whose tries -
ago 'never fails to reach me on my
birthday. She is a busy woman -full
Of interests both pUblie end private. I
have often wondered how she managed
to remember. On a recent visit to her
I found out.
She reads each day from a year book.
A Philips $rooks Year Book it happens
to be. When she finds out the date of
any friend's birthday, she writes it in
her Year Book. Then each day, as
the reads her daily quotation, she Wail
ahead for a few days to fid out to
Whom should that day send a card. She
writes some little personal message on
her visiting card. Envelopes of the
proper size always at hand, It costs
about three-quarters of a cent for the
Card, a half a cent for the envelope,
and two cents for the stamp. So fur
three and a quarter cents apiece and
the least little bit of labor she gives'
real pleasure to each one of her friends
on their respective birthdays. -Mary
W Porter, in American Agriculturist.
Raralyzed Limbs.
To -day it is sleeplessness, headache,
trouble, and irritability. Next thing
you know some form of paralysis has
developed. Mr. Alex. Honsburger, 10
Moore street, St, Catharines, Ont,
writes: "Nervous trouble developed into
paralysis of the limbs so that I 'became
helpless. Doctors failed me, but after
using ten boxes of Dr. Chase's Nerve
Food, I resumed work, and now feel
better than I did for 20 years."
"A PEOPLE that is sober and indue-
trioua, and in many ways we like to
think akin to ourselves, people that
makes beautiful musie and stands in
the forefront when acience is to be ap-
piied in ail the arts of peace, a people
that produced more than a century ago
the greatest of all modern authors,
stands before the world today in the
light of an aggressor, shamelessly
breaking faith and pitilessly harrying
innocent and weaker neighbors. This
is the curse of a false standard. The
flag that this people is fighting for does
not represent this people but
rather the enemy, the parasite, the
outworn tradition of 'divine right,' the
obsolete ideal of a military government.
Rigntly or wrongly, William 11 18 quot-
ed as calling Count Zeppelin the great-
est of all living inventots, and it is
this Zeppelin whose aircraft hurls
bombs into houses where women and
children are lying in a sleep broken
only by death. Looking ahead, one
realizes that a people falsely represent-
ed by its Williams and its Zeppelins
will once again be loved as herne mak-
ers and lovers of the oeautiful. But
what wonder is it that to -day men fear
Ciermany's success wherever Christian-
ity is preached, wherever mankind is
emerging from the brute."

CURIOUS MEXICAN TREE%
One Whose Fruit Is the Counterpart of
the Green Parrot,
Mexico probably has a greater nage
of remarkable regetion than any
other country In the world. The par.
rot fruit tree produces an odd shaped
fruit, bearing a close resemblance to
green parrakeets. When the parrakeet
is frightened It makes a dash for the
parrot tree, where it assumes a pesition
svhich makes it look like the fruit it-
self. So close is the resemblance that
their enemies, the haws, occasionally
fly by a tree on 'which a dozen or more
of these birds are sitting, apparently
unaware of their presence.
Another remarkable tree is the ars
bol de diumnite-dyuanalte tree -whose
fruit, if kept in a warm place, burette
with considerable force and a loud re-
port, peattering its fiat seeds to a sur-
prising distance.
One of the most interesting fruits In
Mexico is known aS the melon zapote,
or papaya. It contains considerable
pepsin, which reacts against both acid
and alkaline conditions of the stomach,
and it is said that a diet which in -
eludes papaya precludes dyspepsia.
Both the fruit and the /eaves possesa
the singular property of rendering
tough. meat tender. When the pulp of
the fruit is rubbed over a piece of
teugh meat the juice attacks the fiber
and softens it. -National GeograpItio

LIFE IN THE LONG AGO.
When Huts Were Homes and Bede
Were Shakedowns of Straw.
For centuries the common people of
England made their Lome in wooden
huts of one room. When a family in-
creased In numbers or wealth another
hut was built beside it, or, rather, a
lean-to was added aud then another
and another, as need required.
Sometlraes they followed a straight
line. At other times they were built
out from the central hut at various an-
gles. The roofs of these huts were
thatched. An opening was left in the
center for the smoke to escape. The
fire was always built in a hollow in the
center of the room. Beds were made
of straw. Often they were merely
shakedowns in •the corner. Occasion-
ally the straw was held in a little
frame resembling the ribs of a ship.
Houses built by Saxon knights were
much more pretentious. They were big
halls, like the Roman atrium, with a
lofty roof thatched with slate or wood
shingles. The floor was of bard clay.
In the middle was a great fire of dry
wood. The thin, nerid smoke from the
fire escaped through an opening in the
roof directly above the hearth.
Round tbe Bre were long benches, on
which hearthsmen and visitors sat
tvlsen not fighting or at work, and talk-
ed and drank the hours tbrough. The
tables were long boards on trestles. At
night the Boor was strewn with straw,
and, like the less prosperous folk, host
and visitors slept together.- Youth's

KIDNAPING VOTERS.
Once a Regular • Feature of Political
Warfare In England.
In Fingland a generation or two ago
kidnaping was a regularly organized
feature of political warfare. On the
eve of an election especially men of in
fluence on either side would mysteri-
ously vanish to reappear later with
strange tales of forcible seizures, mad
races across country in post chaises
driven by yelling postilions, followed
by longer or shorter terms of .gilded
imprisonment in great mansions, where
they were wined and dined in sump-
tuous style and treated right royally
in every way, only their liberty being
denied them.
Quite humble voters, too, were forci-
bly abducted, but these did not always
fare quite so well. Thus one victim
made complaint before a magistrate
that he had been decoyed from his
house by a ruse and kept shut up in a
doal hole for three days.
Wholesale kidnaping of voters in
batches, too, was not unknown, the
process being rendered easier by the
cristoin of candidates paying the trav-
eling expenses of their electors to and
from the polling places,
For Instance, at a certain Newcastle
election a whole shipload of freemen
of the borough, dispatched from Lon-
don by sea, .were taken by the captain
-who had been heavily bribed -to Os-
tend and there left stranded.
During the same coutest. too, and,
under similar circumstances a number
of Berwick electors who happened to
reside in London were damped down
in Norway, and a group of dirty Ips-
wich voters found themselves on the
day of the poll cooling their heels upon
the quay at Rotterdam. - Pearson's
Weekly.
Deafnesn Cannot bo Cure t
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cpre deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed. deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

Told of Mrs. Huxley.
In a memoir of Mrs. Huxley the
London Times recalls that in the "Tife
of Huxley" It is told how, before their
marriage, Huxley took Ms wife, whe
was very 111, to one of the most fa -
mons doctors Of the day, as if merely a
patient he was -interested In. Then,
0.8 ohe member of the Profession te
another, he asked him privately his
opinion of the case. "I give her sit
months to live," said Aescnlapius.
"Well, six months or not," replied
Huxley, "she is going to be my wife."
Huxley died in 1805 and his wife In
1014.

A GREAT WHEAT CROP.
The government's July report
estimates the wheat crop at 980,-
000,000 bushels, Since the spring
wheat has not yet Matured these
figures may be revised later, but
it is very clear that the yield ex-
ceeds all previous records. Far-
tunately for American producers.
the needs of the world are large.
4nrope must buy a great aeal,of
wheat duriug the current crop
year, How much is unknown
and. will be until next wanner.
France, for instance is not a
large importer wham its crop is
normal, but this year its needs
are estimated at 00,000,000 bush-
els. With euch a swifts as we
have and such a deficiency as ex-
ists abroad the price will depend
to an unusual degree on the for-
eign market. The greatest dan-
ger now is a rush to ship wheat.
While no good is lihely to come
from a movement to hold for a
dollar or any other fixed price,
It is wise to be in no burry to
get all of the crop to the eleva-
tor. If each emu with a surplus
can keep part of it until it is re-
auirea all producers are likely to
fare beat. -National Stockman

HORSES FOR THE FARM,
Kansas Farmers Are Advised to Raise
Horses and Sell the Surplus.
Maintaining a big bunch of horses; to
cam on the work of tbe farm is quite
an item of expense, says the Kansas
Farmer. Many farmers do not realize
bow much it amounts to until they
begiu to make some effort to keep
a record of the cost of maintaining
horses through the year. It is almost
inchnabent upon the man requiring a
great deal of horsepower in his farm-
ing operations to follow the practice,
to some extent at least, of raising
horses and selling the surplus on the
market. In this way the horsepower
of the farm becomes in a measure self
supporting. Tbere Is no place in Kan-
sas more Maori -hale to the raisingof
good horse a than the central and west-
ern portions. There are numerous in-
stances all through this territory where

farmers have to some extent special -
zed in the growing of borses and
mules and made good money in it.
Really good horses are bringing good
arices on tbe market, and the farmer
who will pay serious attention to the
producing of a few good animals each
year will not. only keep himself equip-
ped with good horses, but will have
some money coming in from time to
time as a result of sales of surplus.
The great losses from the horse dis-
ease which prevailed through the state
so extensively two years ago has eaus-
ed many to hold back from engaging
In the raising, of horses for fear of an-
other epidemic of this kind. It Is true
there are risks involved, but these risks
are no greater flinn those of many
other lines of production. They are not
us great as the risks which the exclu-
sive wheat grower must take.

HIS OE0 IN HIS POCKET,
•
London Man Has Invented Many
Concentrated Comforts.
Property owners and house agent;
will regard with an unfriene,y eye
the wonderful inventions of Air, T.
11, Holding, who will demonstrate in
London shortly how he carries his
bed in one pocket mad hie house
another. Chatting with the writer a
few days ago, Mr, Holding, who is
now in his seventieth year, and wile
has spent the greater part of bin life
unaer canvas, remarked that all a
man needs to protect him front the
weather is a 12oz, silk tent -which
he drew from his pocket, and which
was equipped with a sort of fishing -
rod pole and a set of twelve alumin-
ium pegs.
In this tent It Is poesible for Lev
to sleep quits cosliy, although it
folds up into a package measuring
only 11 inches by 4 inches,.. while
among other innumerable objects in
the way of concentrated comfort Mr,
Holding has invented phloem that
weigh next to nothing and are blown
up like cycle tyres, pots and pans
that vanish wben they are not 'Want-
ed, toilet apparatus weighing only a
few ounces, and so on.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Holdieg
contends that the whole weight of
the outfit for a man who decides on
tit a simple life camping out need not
exceed 7 pounds, and this would in-
clude cooking, porridge, and frying
pans, a stove, water -bucket for two
gallons a hair -brush, comb, and
looking -glass, a set of bags for carry-
ing oatmeal, bread, tea, and coffee,
and several other minor items. The
stove is a tiny all affair, weighing
Just aver a pound, but eapable of
dealing efficiently with a rabbit or a
beef -steak, -while the water -bucket
can be tucked into a spece no bigger
than your fist.
"It is wonderful," said Mr. Hold -
Hag. "what a little ingenuity cau do."
"But such an outfit would scarce-
ly be suitable for bad weather, Mr.
Holding."
"Pooh!" remarked this veteran,
whose sturdiness -would arouse the
envy of a man forty years yoertaer;
"weather is a matter of complete in-
difference to a man used to the sim-
ple life. In the shelter of my tiny
tent I can laugh at rain, and havo
endured as much as 22 degrees of
frost, and can now regard snow with
composure." -London Tit -Bits.
The Summer Silo,
For summer silo for, taly, twenty
cows the diameter should not exceed
ten feet The surface silage spoils
very quickly in hot weather, and so, if
one gets down to sweet sila ae, one
will have to take off about two inches
a day, avhich will be tbe necessary
monist for twenty cows. When the
farmer has tried it out he will find
that the silo is lese expensive in every
way and inuch handier than soiling his
coves in summer. Besides, he will find
that cows prefer the silage to any
green stuff he may cat and cart in be.
fore them.
Influenee of the Dairy Sire. •
A poultry breeder writing about lar
ing hens says:
"A hen is a good layer or a poor
one, not because her mother �r any rid
her (the Mother's) anteaters were high
or low producers, but because her fa-
thet came from a superior laying hen."

Ancient Theatricals.
The "Agamemnon" of Aeschylus
was first produced at Athens in 458
B.C. with the other plays of the great
Orestean tetralogy. The official re-
cord of the year, which has been
discovered, runs- "Tragedy: Chore-
gus Xenoeles of Aphidna; Poet, Aes-
chylus." So we see that the modern
order of p- .eedence-"So-and-so pre-
sents a new play by A. N. Other" -
is ancient enough, for the choregus
was merely a wealthy citizen who
provided and paid for the chorus and.
a room for rehearsals, and nobody re-
members Xenocles of Aphidna to -day.
But there was one difference in an-
cient Athens, The leading actor's
name did not appear in the record. -

In the Interest of Good Eyes,
A noted oculist advises against us-
ing the eyes immediately after wak-
ing; tlaerefore the habit ot many
young girls of reading or studying in
bed is injurious. It is harmful to
use the eyes wben sleepy, as it is a
great strain upon the muscles, If one
must read or write waen drowsy, rise
occasionahy and bathe the eyes with
hot or cold water. Remember that
a quick change from a dark room to
a brilliant light la a strain upon the
eyes.
