A Persian Legend.

1t is related of Persian mother,
on giving her son forty pieces of sill
yer as his portion, that she made
him swear never to tell a lie, and
said ; go, my son, consign thee
to God and we shall not meet here
again till the Day of Judgment"
The youth went away, and the
party he travelled with were assault
ted by robbers. One fellow asked the
boy what he had, and he answered
with candor that surprised his ques-
TONER;
Forty dinars are sewed up in my
garments"
The robber laughed, thinking the
boy jested. Another asked him the
same question and received the same
answer. At last the chief called him
and asked him what he had. The
boy replied:
II have told two of your people
already that l have forty dinars sew
ed up in my Clothes"
The chief ordered his clothes to be
ripped open and the money was
found.
"And how came you to tell this P"
Because" replied the boy. II
would not be false to my mother,
whom 1 solemnly promised never to
tell lie."
"ChiId," said the chief. "art thou
so mindful ofthv duty to thy mother.
while am insensible, at my age, of
the duty 1 owe to God? Give me
thy hand. that l may swear repent
ance on it," He did so, and his fol-
lowers were struck with the scene.
"You have been our leader in
guilt" they said to the chief; "be
the same in the paths of virtue"
And taking the boys hand, they
took the oath of repentance on it.

listeners. The doctor continued:
 Men. and women even more. drink tea and coffee constantly, and wonder why they feel dull and stupid, have headaches, a bad taste in the mouth, pains in the limbs and about the body and irregularity of the secretions. Nine cases out of ten these things are caused by too free SsAe of tea and coffee. These drinks clog the system, weaken the tissues and de- stroy the most important organs. Few men or women who indulge in tea and coffee regu- larly have clear urine, but on the contrary, sediment, scum and brick dust, all of which invariably mean coming disease death.''
 s'Brt what we to do, Doctor? Shall we give up tea and coffee altogether"
 "No. do not advise that, but regulate it. Keep the kidneys clear and active. There is nothing i'll the world so good for this as the well known and popular Hunts Remedy. Any one who uses this medicine regularly can drink tea and coffee moderately without fear. The reason is that Hunts Renledy fushes or wash es out the kidneys, and keeps them free aud -l4ealthy. Any nanab of prominent men and women can confirm what say, among the number scores of doctors and ministers, Gen. Butler, Gen. Monroe and Miss Alcot.''
 It was plain that the warning and advice of the doctor had made deep impression on his listeners, as it also should upon the millions of men and women who are shortening their lives by the use of these l.. inks.

 A HORSE HAIR BECOMES A SNAKE.-Dr. Payne asked us Wednesday if we didn't want to see horee hair that had turned to snake. We did and he drew a bottle from his pocket, filed with water, in which was what appeared to be a diminutive snake, five or six inches long, writhing and twisting as if anxious to escape from the bottle. When put in the bottle it was nothing more than hair from horses tail s. Matthew says the hair does not undergo change, bnt that invisible ani malcules that generate in the water collect on the hair and make it twist and squirm after the manner of snake or worm. II is held by good authority that many of the ! so-called aninalcules have been shown to be plants, having locomotive power some. thing like animals the motion, however is not supposed tp be voluntary.

 DEAD HOPES.

Nestling close and overlapping
 The dead leaves strew the ground, In this humid April morning,
 They return no chiding sound. AS we tramp them meath our feet In luxuriance complete,
 And we deem the tree is blest By it's late leaf-sheltered rest Yes, the life that once was coursing Through the4leaves of this brave beech When the autumn frost addressed them Fled beyond old winters reach. And the tree to hide the grief, Symbolized by faded leaf, Dropped the emblems as, was meet, And they fell about her feet. But she mourned her fate in secret And she sighed, "Why should it be, That If they so soon must perish,
 They were ever given me?" But, as time passed on, her sorrow ~ Grew less sharp with each tomorrow, For twas hidden from her sight By heecy coat of white. But when spring the coat had lifted
 Did that grief spring forth anew? No, indeed for latent forces
 Showed what perished leaves could do- And her hearts blood meath them fl wing Drew fresh vigor rich and glowing, And immortal life is seen In hopes newly budding green. Let 1s cast our dead hopes from us.
 Flaunt them not in clinging pride Bursting bud upon the white oak
 Thrusts skeleton one side Yes! new hopes should find their place, Free from every mournfui trace, Lest depressed they die at birth, Ere our hearts have known their worth.

(For The Press.) CORN-WHISKEY.
JENNY EMO BROOKS.

Old farmer Bentlv strode through his field Ri xht early one clear spring morn,
 Deep wrath in his look
 AS his big fists he shook, For the crows had been pulling his corn He pondered and pondered on ways and means For thwarting his willy foe, Then suddenly rose,
 As one who we'll knows Just the surest and best way to go. When again the birds swarmed over his field The farmer laughed in his glee,
 ''Ihat grain scattered round So thick on the ground Will teach you lesson, said he. The crows crammed and gorged themselves,
 cawing for joy, Till ''corned" in more senses than one,
 And crooked their flight
 And doleful their plight, When the farmer came out with his gun. The slaughttr was great, but the birds that
 escaped Came no more to that old farmers call,
 The crow is no dunce,
 He gets drunk but once, Do we know more and get drunk at all

AnmOniated Tread,

Ammoniated baking powders-that is, bak- ing powders in which carbonate of ammonia is used as an ingredient, and which exhale an odor of ammonia when heated-are chased by many eminent physicians and sanitarians as superior to all others. Professor Hassell of London, who is recognized as highest au- thority on the subject of food hygiene, com mends in the strongest terms the use of car bonate of ammonia as a leavening agent, stating its great advantage to be in its perfect volatility, which permits it to be, by the heat of baking, entirely thrown into leavening gas whereby the bread is raised. The experiment with heat would seem to indicate the supe- rior, not the inferior, value of baking wow der. The little heat that is imparted to it when held over gas jet, lamp or stove, suf- fees to resolve the carbonate of ammonia in- to leavening gas and throw it of. The first heat of baking, therefore, will effectually de- velop all the gas, thoroughly leaven the loaf and dissipate the gas producing ingredients of powder of thls kind and this is the high est test of peri ct baking powder. Where other alkaloids alone are used they are not infrequently retained, unresolved, through the whole process of baking, and remain an unwholesome ingredient in the finished bread. The carbonate of ammonia cannot be used as a substitute for cream of tartar N. r. Weekly Tribune

Profits of Undertaking.

A reporter for the Athens (Ga.) Ban
ner the other day met retired under
taker, and conversation turned to his
late business.
''What is the profit on coffins?" he
asked.
"Well, ought not to tell tales out of
school, but it will take more than one
figure to count it, L will say. The only
thing that prevents every undertaken in
the United States from becoming
millionaire is that people won't die fast
enough. Do You know that the highest
priced coffin in Georgia is a metallic,
and costs $50? This casket is retailed all
the way from 1925 to $500. There
is a fair profit, too, on the cheaper
grades of wooden caskets, ranging in
price from $50 to $50: that is, if you con-
slider from 800 to 500 per cent fair
profit. The business, too, like all 9TH
ers. has its perquisiteS. The under
taker contracts with the livery stables
to, hire him carriages at $3.50 each, but
he stipulates that, if they fail him, he
must not let them go for less than S..
This latter figure is the price charged
by the undertaken, and so, besides his
hearse hire of SO and profit on the cas-
ket and other funeral paraphernalia. he
pockets a clear profit of $3.50 from
every carriage that comes from a livery
stable and accompanies the funeral pro-
