began to sniff as soon as site come In
Iron' school,
"What is Jt smells so good?" she
asked. fed, W;t

"What1
a you cooking?"
7"
"Nothing but pottoes," her mother
answered. "1 gimes ICs the wood in the
oven. The Meetings seem damp this
morning, so I put solve in to dry."
"I never knew any wood small like
that; it's delicious I"
"Oh, what arra we going to ;lave for
dinner 7" cried Elliott, bursting into the
kitchen with a clatter and a bang. "I
should think it wus sassafras soup by
the smell I"
'Sassafras soup 1 What ahoy 1"
"Well, it would bo good! What is it,
anyhow ?"
"It isn't sassafras, for there isn't a tree
on the farm, laughed Lois. "I wish there
were."
"Who's eating wintergreen candy?"
asked little Sophie. "Give me some—
do 1" and the outer door opened and
shut, letting in a whiff of hash alr.
"1 declare I believe I smell something
now 1 It must be the wood." Mrs. Al-
ton} sniffed at the oven door, "I don't
know whether It's here or not," she
concluded; "but I must broil the steak -
1 know that I"
"Dinner smells good 1" said the father,
taming in breezily. "What is it this
time—Banbury turnovers or orange
rt
ehoake 7" c
The others laughed.
"We've all been fooled," answered
Lois. "It's just beefsteak and potatoes
tnd apple pie. Somebody has been per-
fuming the wood, I think. It ought to
be the first of April."
Alter dinner Elliott inspected the
oven. "I have it I" he exclaimed, tri-
umphantly, inhaling the odor up and
down the length of a small stick. "It's
this birch I"
The rest crowded around him, and th
wood passed from hand to hand.
"It smells just like wintergreen candy,
anyway," insisted Sophie, 11 you did
laugh at me I"
1 remember there was a small black
birch in the corner of that swamp we've
been cleaning up," said Mr. Alford,
"and Ihis must be a piece of It,"
"And Sophie isn't so far out of the
way, alter all," put In Elliott; "for Mr.
Thrall told me once that essence of
wintergreen was often made from black
birch."
Well, I'm not going to have a bit cf
that burned up I" declared Lois. "We'll
keep It to perfume the house. We can
put it in that little oven on top of the
parlor stove, and make everybody won-
der what it is smells so good. It will
be fun ! Come on out to the woodshed,
Elliott and Sophie, and let's pick out all
we can find I"

BRAY'S ENEMY.
"Please, Mr. Jones, there's a little boy
at the back gate to see you."
"At the back gate? Bring him in,
Peter."
"]le won't come in, sir; says he's aw-
ful busy, and hasn't got time."
"How big is lie?"
"About as big as my fist, sir," said
Peter.
The good-natured gentleman went out
to the back gate. "Well, countryman,'
he said, pleasantly, "what can I do for
you?"
The small boy—for he was a very
small boy—took off a soft, dirty hat, and
held 1t behind him. "I've come to tell
you, sir, that Bray's got to be killed."
"Bray, my big Newfoundland dog?
And who sent you here with that infor-
mation?" asked the gentleman, losing
all his pleasant looks.
"Nobody sent me,". the boy answered,
stoutly, I've come by myself. Bray has
tanned my sheep' for three days. He's
got to be killed."
"Where Ad you get any sheep 7'
asked Mr. Jones.
"My sheep .are Mr, Ransom's. He
gives me fifteen cents a week for watch-
ing 'em."
Did you tell Mr. Ransom that Bray
had been running ,them?"
"No, sir; I felled you.".
"Ah, that's well; 1 don't want to ,kill
Bray. Suppose:d give you fifteen cents
a week for not telling Mr. Ransom when
Bray runs his sheep; how would that
do?" • ,
As soon es the little shepherd"got -the
Idea into his head he scornfully rejected
It. "That u'd be paying -me for a ale."
he said, indignantly, I wouldn't tell
lies for all the money 1n the world."

don for offering you a bribe. Now I

Ransom that 11 he doesn't raise your
wages I shall otter twice fifteen cents

her without benefit. She was terribly
run down and her blood was nothing
but water, 'Then dropsy set in, She
would swell so that her clothes were
much too small for her, Icor legs and
feet were nearly twice their natural
size. To make her torture worse rheu-
matism set in. Her state was pitiable.
Sometimes we thought she could not
hve much longer and for three months
she could not walk a step. To touch
her was to cause her the greatest ag-
ony. The doctors were baffled — they
could do nothing for her and as a last
resort wo began the use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. She took the pills several
weeks when wo saw there wos 0
slight improvement. The improvement
gradually became more marked and by
the time she had taken twenty-one
tuxes her cure was complete. it is now
nine months since she took. the ptiis,

LIONS ATTACK A VILLAGE.
Eleven Natives Eaten by Herd of Hun-
gry Animals In Africa.
Word from Blantyre, British Central
Africa, states that a herd of hungry
lions attacked the town of Chorumo,
British Central Africa, and not only
killed eleven natives, but put the rest
cd the population to flight and demol-
ished many of the huts. Between fif-
teen and twenty lions made the raid at
dusk. They first attacked two natives
cn the outskirts of the town. One of
the natives escaped, and while the body
of his companion was being torn to
pieces he ran to the government butld-
mThe watchman on duty refused to be-
lieve his story, and while the frighten-
er' native was protesting the lions sud-
denly dashed into the main street. Three
watchmen were struck down before
they could reach their rifles, and the
native who had previously escaped was
likewise killed. A fourth watchman,
who fled to an inner root', was pursued
by two of the brutes, and torte to pieces.
A child was seized in front of one
of the huts, and when the frantic mo-
ther attempted to rescue it she was like-
wise attacked and eaten. Three other
natives were killed and eaten.
The lions killed a large number of
goals and other live stock, and after-
wards roamed through the town, prowl-
ing round some of the huts, in, which
the inmates hand barricaded themselves.
A large number.of natives, who man-
aged to escape from the town, got into
their canoes apd paddled to the tali fie
of the River Shire, where Wee spent the
night. They could distinctly ]rear the
shouts of the besefged.
Chorumo is situated near the Eteehnnt
,Marsh game reserve, wh3.d filly ele-
phants lived last year.

THE USE OF THE LEECH
THEIR MEDICINAL VIRTUE WAS
ONCE iHGHLY ESTEEMED.
Some Druggists State That Application
of Leeches Is Not to Be Re-
commended.
Leeches are mostly bought by people
who have had a blow or fall, causing a
blue spot to appear where the blood
has congested. They apply leeches to
take out the blood from these spots.
The best leeches are known as the
Mediterranean leech and oome from
,San Gulguela, Spain. They are about
three inches long, with a soft smooth
body tapering to each extremity, and
are marked with from ninety to one
hundred line annulatlons; their backs
are olive green with six rusty red long-
itudinal stripes. The ends are termin-
ated by suckers.
DANGER IN T11EiR USE.
A peculiar medical law provides that
a druggist roust not apply a leech. He
may sell them to persons, but only a
doctor is allowed to apply it, One well-
known druggist told The Slar that he
once applied a leech to an abrasion on a
man's forehead, because a doctor could
not be got as the hour was late. "After
the Leech had gorged itself end rolled
off the mark left y the leech bled so
profusely that It look me over four
hours to stop It; and then the man's face
was ten tines worse with the marks
lefty he act hnd l acids id louse."
The favorite method employed
oto in-
duce a leech to fasten itself to the part
whence the blood Is to be drawn is to
drop its tail first into a narrow bottle,
and then Invert 'tile bottle over the spot
where the leech is supposed to go to
work. If it does not attach itself readily
a little sweet oil rubbed on the spot will
sometimes be effective. The leech near-
ly always balls off after It has gorged
itself.
Some druggists put salt on a leech
after It has been applied to e. person,
and this makes them sick, and they
emit all the blood. This practice .is very
dangerous, es the leech may have been
applied to a person who was suffering
from some infectious disease, and no
matter how long after it is applied the
second time there Is always a danger of
blood poisoning.
They are very excitable, and may be
seen stretching their bodies along the
glass side of the bottle or bowl in which
they are kept. At times you may see
them writhing excitedly through the
water, atter the tiny animalculae that
constitute their diet. They are only
fairly good swimmers, but have extra-
ordinary vigor.
Leeches possess wonderful power in
extending and contracting their bodies.
One moment they are stretched out to
three inches, the next they are purled
up in a tiny ball.
THEY LEAVE A SCAR,
Some druggists state that the applica-
tion of leeches is not to be recommend-
ed; the cure is almost as bad as the dis-
ease, The leech has three small, sharp,
semi -circular teeth that radiate from a
centre. They cut deep, and always
leave a scar of the swim shape as them-
selves. On the common leech the mouth
where the cutting teeth are found is at
the anterior sucking disc. Just book of
this, and on the upper side, are ten
small black spots that serve for eyes.
The usual quantity of blood drawn by an
average leech averages from one drachm
to half an ounce. It is digested very
slowly, and after being gorged in this
manner, the leech lies for several days
before it regains its normal size and ap-
pearance,
Leeches are mostly imported from
Hamburg, and are also collected largely
in Spain, France, Italy and Hungary.
How to Cleanse the System.— Parme-
lee's Vegetable Pills are the result of
scientific study of the 81100 s o1 extracts
of certain roots andherbs upon the
digestive organs. Their use has de-
monstrated In many instances that
theyregulate the action of the liver and
kidneys, purify the blood, and carry off
fah morbid accumulations from the
system.. They are easy to take, and
their action is mild and beneficial.
, NICKEL COINS FOR NATIVES.
'.tourists and others staying in Bel-
gium have probably noticed certain
nickel coins with a hole drilled neatly
through the centre. At first the stran-
ger •naterally thinks that the hole has
been pierced by some Industrious lndt-
vlduhl to pass the time or "to bring
luck," ,and he is dubious about accep-
ting'such a coin; but ho soon finds that
his . notion is incorrect. In the first
place, the hole is made In a workman-
like manner; it appears to have been
cast with the coin, and not to have been
drilled afterwards. The hole has rather
spoilt the appearance of the emgy of
Ming Leopold, but no one is indignant,
Band the coins pass freely—!or the tour-
ist finds that there are many about.
Further, these nickel coins appenr to be
somewhat larger than the majority of
coins of the same value. These coins
are for the Congo natives, to be worn
as ornaments, it so required, • Bul they
are actual coins, and intended to be
used as such; they are trade with a hole
in order to accommodate the natives,
who have no clothes worth troubling
about, and consequently no pockets.
They thread the coins on a string and
Wear them round their necks like a
row of beads.
