very much out of health for the past three

examined him and said his lungs were diseas-
cd. 1, as we'll as others, thought he had the
consumption. l bought Pino-Palmine Mat
tress of your agent, Mr.. Gleason. Now, after
six months use,my son seems to be about we'll;
he is gaining flesh; Che says he is all right; he
is at his work again. he has used nothing else

Everybody has heard Of Bird Cage
Walk, in st. James Park. London.
1t takes its name from the Aviary,
believed to have been the first in
England, formed by Charles H., who
loved to loaf about there with his
dogs at his heels, and feed his pet
birds. Their keeper was called the
Ayener, and some old account books
show the payments for bird seed.
Charles also created an officer called
1.-The Cookie Strewer," whose business
it was to see to the proper pounding
of the cookie shells Cookies are a
sort of clam to create a smooth,
hard surface on the mall where pail
MALE was played. In that game a
large ball being struck by heavy
bat, had to be sent through an iron
ring on high pole.
