The London Church Times tells the
story of some Sunday School children
being taken for picnic to the seaside.
One of the teachers asked her scholars
how they liked the sea. Every much,
Miss, replied the child. ';But where

my child? What do you mean?" "Why,
you know" the child replied again. "the
tinnamies that go with the sea. You

) PREVENT
YELLOW FEVER.

1t has been well proved that prevention is
better than cure. A very simple and effec-
tive preventative for Yellow Fever and other
fevers has been found in BENSON'S CAP,
ICINE POROUS PLASTERS. They were
used during the last season in New Orleans
very successfully, the common method of US
ing them was to apply them over the stomach,
changing them every week. They are one of
seem to destroy the poison. One reason why
they are of special value is that they stimu-
late the digestion and thus enable the system
to overcome the influence of the malarial
poison. They are cheap and almost certain
preventative. Ask your physician about
them. Bensons Capcine Plasters are sure
preventative and cure for chills and fever if
worn as above. Price % cents.

such fashion that the strings unwoven hang
down in b:lshy tail behind and present the
same appearance in front, reaching nearly to
the knees. This is accounted for by tradi-
tion that in former days certain high caste
man OF thai region had been sowing various
grains and planting vegetables in his field but
found out that in some unknown way his
daily work was frustrated, for whatever he
planted in the day was carefully picked up
and taken when men slept. So he set a
watch, and one night he saw coming out of
hole hitherto unknown TO him, certain be-
ings like men, but quite naked, who set to
work destroying his hopes of crop. Pursu-
ing them, he succeeded in catching a man
and woman, and he was so impressed with
shame at their condition that he gave the man
his upper cloth, which was hanging on his

having one to spare for the woman, she made
