They were 'very much the same until you saw their feet, The (thick had long scrawly toes, which were very useful for scratching, while the Duckling had webs between his toes, which were very useful when lie swam in the big pond. One day the Chick in order to please the Dnekling and make him do him a favor, brought some very nice grain from the barnyard down to the edge of the Big Pond and gave it to the little fellow with the webbed feet, "1 do riot care very much for that kind of food," said the Duckling, "but I will eat it in order to please you," "That is hind of you," replied the Chick, "but I would rather have you eat it because you like the grain." All this set the Chick to thinking, and'he said to himself: "Ah! I must offer some inducement if I want to mance the silly. Duckling do what I wish." Tho next day tho Chick went to visit the Duckling, and when the fellowwith the web feet saw him coming he swam to the shore out of mere curiosity, "Are you fond of worms?" asked the Chick. "Indeed I am," answered the Duck- ling. "Then come with me to the side oil yonder road and we will get some of the choicest worms in all this world." The Duckling began to toddle along behind the Chick, trying his best to keep up. "Why do you not go faster?" asked the Chick. "I am thinking of the good food I am going to get," replied the Duck- ling. This flattered the Chick. When they reached the road they started to cross it, and the Duck, being slow of foot, had not gotten very far when an automobile overtook the Chick and ran over him. The poor little Chick was not hurt, but she was very much frightened. The Duckling ran to her assistance, shouting: "Are you hurt? Are you hurt?" The Chick was too frightened to answer, so the Duckling helped her teethe side of the road and in a short time the Chick was able to talk. Just at that Moment another auto- mobile whizzed by, and the Duckling narrowly escaped being hit et the side of the road. "Come, let us get our worms," said the Chick, in a weak voice. "Good -by, clear," said the Duckling. "What!" exclaimed the Chick. "Go- ing so soon?" "Yes," replied the Duckling, "Better one worm in my peaceful pond than a feast of worms in fear of Automobiles."

They love it on their tables, their dressing - tables, and find its charm irresistible in lampshades, bowls and vases, But not many women have themselves en- gaged in the production of glassware —at least not in England, says Lon- don Answers, One woman, however, is something of an exception. She cannot actually make. glassware, for she has neither the plant nor tho means, but she Makes ordinary glass wonderfully beautiful. In an old little corner of Loudon she has pitched camp in a little space, half studio, half shop, and here she works. She stains glassware with some secret material, flooding it with wonderful, rich colors. She catches the sunlight In her brushes, snatches the translucent tints from autumn berries, borrows ideas : from the petals of flowers,'and transfers all these ]lghts and shades to her glass. When she first started, people were sceptical of her art, and craft. They thought such things could be done bet- ter abroad. Now they know better. Men evho dealt in such things show Iong and keen interest in it. She is probably on the road to help capture a trade that belonged to the enemy. If the demand continues to increase, an attractive and lucrative new occu- pation for women may spring up. In the cabinets in her studio is a very world of fairy coloring. There is the homely jam -jar on which she V1'YI;S, INSECTS ANI) HUMAN, Interests of the Native' Quarter of Japan.

HOW TO CURE STOMACH TROUBLE The Common Cause is Lack of Blood—Therefore You Must Build Up the Blood. There Is the most intimate relation between the condition of the blood and the activity of the stomach. The blood depends upon the stomach for a largo part of its nourishment; while every act of digestion, from the time the food enters the stomach and is as- similated by the blood needs plenty of pure well -oxidized blood. The mus- cles, glands and nerves of the stomach work'only according to the quality of the blood. The most common cause of indiges- tion is lack of rich, red blood. Not only does impure blood weaken the muscles of the stomach but it lessens the product of the glands of the in- testines and stomach, which furnish the digestive fluids. Nothing will more promptly cure indigestion than plenty of pure blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the safest and most cer- tain blood -builder. A thorough trial of these pills gives a hearty appetite, perfect digestion, strength and health. made one of her first essays, trans- Here is proof of the value of these forming it ultimately into a thing eel pills in cases of indigestion.

The allied re- sources, he says, are now more than ever greater than those of the enemy, Fund France has the finest generals the war has produced. Mr. Bennett is con- vinced that victory will come perhaps slowly and little by little, but come it will. The immediate future cannot fail to be extremely and startlingly com- plicated, writes Mr. Bemiett, and he warns against counting too much upon the next great offensive, which may fall far short of what is desired. Strange things may happen. Beth - mann -Hon -wag, for instance, may fall, and Tirpitz and Reventlov be free to inject more of their ruthless methods Into the war. Speaking of the remaining chap- ters of the war, Mr. Bennett writes: "I cannot conceive the remaining course of the war, but we can be very sure of one thing, namely, that it will not be what we are expecting it to be. Alarms await us; shocks twilit us. Our faith in ourselves is bound to be put to the strain, The eo'titucle of the timid and small - hearted among us will be shaken at the first crisis; or, if not at the first, then at the second, and there will be More than two crises. Destiny will reserve our most severe trials for the period just preceding the end, then all influences, some honest, some dishonest, in favor of a peace that is contrary to justice, will be at their strongest. Our national ability 10 resist these influences will depend mat on the oratory of statesmen or ex- bo•tatioes of journalists, but on the mental habits of individual citizens. In spite of all experience has taught us, we shall never have been nearer to losing this war thee at the moment when we are nearest to winning it. '1'h$ meet acute danger for us will probably arise during the first two talont.hs of the next push, but it may spring up any day.

Do you know how gro- ceries originated ? Only a few hundred years ago cer- tain foresighted tradesmen in France went about the country buying up bar- gain lots of merchandise, They bought fire damaged goods, bankrupt stocks, all sorts of commodities. They bought these thingr "en gros" and made money out of them. The trade was carried to England, where a man who bought hardware, thread, furniture, vegetables "en gros," or in large quantities, called himself au "engros- ser," This was later shortened to "grocer.,' but the term was still .p - plied to the proprietor of a general business. The grocery was a sort of raolcet shop, like the modern 10 -cent store. Gradually, it appears, the "grocer" found it more profitable to deal in tea, coffee,, spices, fruits and non-perish- able foodstuff's, and he confined his at - Bound to Find Out.

To Every Wonsan Who Is In Pain Mrs. Williams Says Use Dodd's Kidney Pills. She Fluffered for Two Years, but 'Three Boxes of Dod.d's Kidney Pills Made Her a' New Woman. Adamsville, Kent Co„ N.13., Jan. 29th (Speeial.)---"I can recommend Docld's Kidney Pills to every woman who suffers," So says Mrs, Williams, a well-known and highly respected lady melding here, Mrs. Williams was a sufferer for. two years till She need Docld's Kidney Pills, She found In them quick relief and complete cure. That is why she is so enthusias- tic in her praise of them. "My troubles started with a cold," Mrs, Williams states, "I never seem- ed to get over the effects of it, I had cramps in my muscles and my joints were stiff, There were dark circles under my eyee which were puffed and swollen, I had a bitter taste in my mouth and T suffered from severe headaches. "I felt heavy and sleepy after meals and had attacks of neuralgia. Heart llutterings and rheumatism were soon added to my troubles, I took just three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I cannot be too glad that I did so." Every one of Mrs. Williams' symp- toms was a symptom of kidney dis- ease, That is why Dodd'; Kidney Pills cured her. Awkwardly Put. The other day a gentleman farmer hitving some pigs for sale offered to dispose of them to a pork butcher. The latter called at the farm where, before proceeding to the yard, he was hospitably treated and introduced to his host's daughters. A gallant man is that porkist, and one who never lets pass an oppor- tunity of paying a compliment. "Now, sir," said lie, on leaving the room, "I've seen your young ladies and I'm going to see your young serine, and if the two's much alike there won't be no difficulty about bringing off a deal." "Hurry up, Tommy!" called mamma. "We're late. Are your shoes on?" "Yes, mother; all but one!"

That .snails can pass over awl sharp instruments as a razor's edge without the slightest harm has been demonstrated by a French aeiontist, The snail walks with the whole under. surface of his body, and itis provided with means to lubrocate the road on which it travels. A peculiarly com- plex system of muscles enables it to ,:'ling in any position to the smooths vet objects. In lifting itself over the razor's edge it clings with the hind part of its walking surface to one side of the blade and extends the Lore part and bends it down over the other side. Then it draws itself over gradually and without exerting any pressure upon the edge of the blade. It could not, however, crawl along the sharp edge of a razor or knife, It is a fact that while the common snail has lungs, heart and a general circulation, being in every respect an air -breathing creature, it is, never'the- lees, able to live indefinitely without x inhaling the least bit of air, Experi- ments have clearly demonstrated that any or all of the usual life conditions I may be removed in the case of the snail without terminating its existence or indeed impairing its functions, The snail retreats into its shell on the ap- proach of froaty weather, and causes the opening or mouth of its shell to be hermetically sealed by a secretion of silky texture absolutely impervious to air and water, In this condition, therefore, it is plain that the little creature is deprived of three of the'. four elements of life—air, water and nourishment. ee- GUARD THE BABY AGAINST (.:OLDS To guard the baby against colds nothing can equal Baby's Own Tab- lets, The Tablets are a mild laxative that will keep the little one's atom- , ach and bowels working regularly.
