HONESTY AND INTELLIGENCE
1t pays to be honest, you say.

Granted
Yet how many are dishonest through
ignorance, eXpcdicncy, or intentionally. One
can be dishonest and yet say nothing.
A clerk who let's customer buy damaged
piece of goods a witness who holds back the
truth which would clear prisoner, medical
practitioner who takes his patients money
when no knows he is doing him no good,-all
arc culpably dishonest.
Speaking Of the dishonesty of medical men
reminds us that only the past week there has
come under our personal observation form
Of dishonesty which is almost too mean for
narration.
1t is generally known that doctors bind
themselves by codes, resolutions and oaths
not to use any advertised medicines. Now,
there is Il medicine on the market which, for
the past ten years, has accomplished mar
yelous amount of good i'll the cure of Kidney
and Liver Diseases and diseases arising from
the arrangement of these great organs,-we
refer TO Warmers SAFE Cure So widespread
are the merits of this medicine that the
majority Of the doctors of this country know
from actual evidence that it win cure Adj
vanced Kidney Disease, which is but another
name for Bright's Disease.
The medical pTOieSSio have put themselves
Oh record as admitting that there is no cure for
this terrible malady yet there are physicians
base enough and dishonest enough to procure
Warmers Safe Cure in surreptitious manner
put the same into plain, four-ounce walls and
charge their patients 50 90 per vial when q
siXtcen-ounce bottle of the remedy, in its
original package, can be bought at any drug
store in the world for 1925.
Perhaps the doctor argues that the cure
of the patient justifcs his dishonesty, yet he
will boldly stand up at the next county med-
cal meeting and denounce Warmers Safe Cure
as patent medicine, and one which he can
not and will not use
The fact is that the people are waking up
to the truth that the medical profession is far
from honest, and that it does not possess q
monopoly of wisdom in the curing of disease.
doctorng the many symptoms of kidney dis
ease, instead Of striking at the seat of disease
the kidneys elves,-allowing patients
to die rather than use remedy known to be
a specific simply because it has been adver-
tised, and when patients dead from
Advanced Kidney Disease, still practicing de
ccption by giving the cause of death in their
certificate as pneumonia, dropsy, heart dis
ease, or some other, accompanying effect of
Brights Disease
All this is "prima facie" evidence of incom-
potency, bgotry and dishonesty.
We speak but the truth when we say that
Mcssrs. Fl. II. Warner & Co. have done n
most philanthropic work for the past ten
years in educating the people up to the
knowledge they now enjoy, especially of
maladies growing out Of diseases of the Kid
neys and Liver, and are deservingof all praise
for their honesty and ghtforwardness in
exposing shams and dishonesty of all kinds.

Wearied Swallows.

A rather curious episode in natura
history occurred the other day on boarC
the French steamboat Abd-el-Kader
during the passage from Marseilles tC
AIgiers. just as the vessel was about
two hours out the sky became quite blacl
with swallows. 1t was then about six o.
clock in the evening. The birds alight
ed ia thousands on the sails, ropes and
yards of the Abd-el-Kader. After Il
perky survey of the deck from their emf.
nences aloft, they decended cody on
deck, hoped about among the sailors
and passengers and eventually found
their way into the cabins, both fore and
aft.
The birds were evidently fatigued
after long flight, and allowed them
selves to be caught by the people of the
ship, who gave them welcome recep-
ton and provided them with food, which
they enjoyed heartily. The little wing
ed strangers remained all night on the
vessel, and in the morning at seven
o'clock the head lookout bird, no doubt
sighted the Balearle Isles, for the whole
flock made for land, after having spent
a comfortable and refreshing night on
board ship.-LOnd0n Telegraph.

A Mandarins Impressions of Our
Customs.

A Travelled Chinese Mandarin, who has
lately communicated his impressions of
the West to his couutTymer, deals with
great popularity with the position and
treatment of women in Europe. These
surprise him beyond measure. Thus the
notion of husband and wife walking arm
in arm III public places fills him with
amusemenf. ssNobody smiles at it, +" he
says; land even husband may perform
any mental task in his wife's presence,
yetno one will laugh at him." Then,
again, the notion of men standing aside
to let Il woman pass and the code OF
politeness which requires men to make
way for woman are to HIM 1ncompre-
hensible. In China when the men are
gorged the women dine of the scraps, but
in the West cat meal time the men
must wait until the women are seated,
and then take one after another their
places, and the same rule must be OBJ
served when the meal is finished" He
is greatly exercised how to describe kiss
ing: the thing OF word does not exist am
onG the Chinese, and, accordingly, he is
driven to describe it. ''Itis, he says, ga
fom of courtesy which consists III pre-
sauting the lips to the lower part OF the
chin and making sound again ''chil-
dren when visiting their seniors apply
their mouth to the left OF right lips OF
the elder with smacking noise.
Women as shop attendants, women at
home, women with mustaches then en-
gage the writer's attention, and he
! asses on to ''at home and dances.
besides invitat,o ns to dinner there
are invitations to tea gathering, such
as are occasionally given by wealthy
merchants OF distinguished officials.
When the time comes invitations are
sent to an equal number of men and
women, and after these are all assem-
bled tea and sugar, milk, bread and the
like are set out as aids to conversation.
More particularly are there invitations
to skip and posture, when the host de
cides what man is TO be the partner of
what woman, and what woman of what
man. Then, with both arms grasplng
each other. they leave their places in
pairs, and leap, skip, posture and pranee
for their lnut'1al qualification. A man
and woman previously unknown to one
another may take part in it. y

Running Down Grizzly With Sled

Three of us had camp on the west
crn slope Of the Bitter Root Mountains,
Idaho, and one afternoon J. took the
hand sled and went up the trail to
bring down deer Kennedy had shot.
There was plenty of snow on the ground
with crust hard enough to bear up q
horse, and 1 had no trouble in reaching
the spot where the carcass hung. The
last 100 feet of the way was passage
not over ten feet wide, between high
walls, and the pitch was about the same
as an ordinary house roof.
As there was no danger from the In
dams, and as ! expected to have my
hands full with the sled, [ did not take
my rifle. We hadn t sighted bear for
four weeks, and | worked away getting
the deer fast on the rude but stout sled
without the slightest uneasiness. [ was
about ready to start when [ heard a
"wOof !" above me, and / looked up to
see big grizzly standing on sort of
shelf about seventy-five feet up the
mountain. He was looking this way
and that for spot to descend. A second
',wcoe :" caused me to wheel about, and
lirht below me at the far end of the
4.
the middle of the road, and IN pre-
1aricator if his c0nntenance didn't wear
Il grin.
The bears had put up job on me. On
my right was n cliff, on my left preci-
pice. If [ got down at all it must be by
the road l came up. They were i'll no
great hurry to bring matters to a crisis,
seeming rather to enjoy the situation,
and the lower bear sort o. winked at me,
and probably observed: ''Say, old fell
low, does your mother know of your
whereabouts
My revolver was of no more use
against n grizzly than popgun, and I
did not take it from the holster. In
deed, [ was too badly ratified to have
made q line shot Mt an object ten feet
away. I saw that my only chance was
by the roadway, but there sat the bear.
I waited for the upper one to make Il
move, and after about ten minutes he
curled up and rolled off the shelf. I
jumped for the sled the same instant
gave vigorous kick behind, and down
hat steep path went with the velocity
of a cannon ball. The sled struck
ething-there was a roar and howl.
it seemed to rise into the air, and [
opened my eyes to find myself turning
Il big boulder into the trail. [ couldn t
swing the sled farenough, and went down
through the short scrub, made Jump
of twenty feet over a tree top, hit the
trail ut an elbow, and might have been
going yet if had not smashed into II
rock near our hut.
My friends had seen me make part of
The journey, and were on hand to pick
up tho pieces. They got their guns and
went up the trail to look for the bears.
They found one by the big boulder, and
he was Us dead as if hit with brick
house. The other had left handfuls of
his hair clear through the scrub, but
had finally checked his tumble and
sneaLed off.-N. Y. SIN.

sides were dotted with it; but the
fungi growing from the bottom was

fungi had in several instances raised

dred and fifty pounds, and some were

feet. Some of the fungi resembled
human hair, they were so fine; some
were five or six feet long and as large

others hung from the roof and looked
