This is very genuine; it is all right;

keep to this recipe.
On the other hand, believe that if we
could wipe out the old nonsense of the
evening lessons from the school curricu-
lum; if we could make teachers teach,
where now they simply hear the lesson
which somebody else has taught; if, then
we would reserve our evenings for in

WHAT ARE mADSTONES,

What are madstones? Geologically,
the writer can speak of quite number
he has seen and of others he has heard
described. They seem to be mostly fos-
sill cOrals. During the great mad-dog
scare at Hannibal, Missouri, some years
agO.a number of madstones from various
sections # the country were obtained by
the mayor of that city. The majority of
these stones were Devonian favosites.
At least three madstOnes the writer has
seen were fossil coral from the lower
silurian, while Others are tertiary fossils.
In some instances the virtues of a mad
stone are claimed for those singular cal
cuti, or balls of lime and hair that are
sometimes found in the stomach of the
OK.
One object used as maidstone in ILL
nois is said to have been taken from an
ancient mound in Kentucky. 1t is one
of those pretty perforated badge stones
made of variegated slate, and made by
the old mound builders. l was unable

IN WINTER QUARTERS.

The veteran methodically rolled the
moist fragments of the well-shaved plug
and pressed them firmly home in the
bowl, and as ne watched the dying flame
of the match upon the fast kindling to-
bacco, blew forth huge cloud of fra
grant smoke and began:
You see the boys would chum to-
gether, usually four, sometimes two. but
not often six. They would go into the
woods and cut down some good-sized
young trees.
These were cut into logs, each of

1.-THE big cob chimney was the poeti-
cal feature. 1t was built of short sticks,
laid criss cross, 'cob" fashion, and to
finish it, for cap-piece, barrel was
stuck on top.
81 never knew one of those chimneys
to catch afre. The wood was green, and
the blaze not very lively, though plenty
warm.
"'Cept,' said the Adiutant, with a
sudden strong pull at his dying pipe,
when some fellow would come along
and drop a handful of cartridges down
the chimney just to relieve the mo-
notony.
"Then, gee whizz, what a clatter; how
everything would go up in smoke, and
bang!-down came our chimney top to
roll down upon the hurrying guard.

"Well, who did? You never saw such

away with wink in his eye.
And the fellows in the stockade mover

But the beds. Oh, the beds of that
camp were perfect poems. We would
take one side of the stockade and make

timber for stringers. After the tree

them we put row of barrel slaves, top

head into the flesh of his victim.
And unless IA man pulls him out just
so that head is sure to break off under

man ever endured from anything so
small.
'Some of our boys became such ex-
perts in pulling out wood ticks that they

ENGLISH AUTHORS IN POLITICS

1t is generally believed by well-posted
English literary people that Swinburne
would have been honored with an i'm
mediate succession to the English Poet
Laureateship if it were not for the ex-
IRENE politics of which at one time he
was the apostle. Ia Swinburne's recent
years his political heat has, of course,
been steadily cooling, and the character
istic attitude of English authors at the
present moment towards party politics
is amirably Laodicean. There are few
exceptions, the most conspicuous pro-
badly being Mr.. Swinburne's fellow poet,
William Morris, whose socialism is as ag-
gressive as ever. Mr. Lewis Morris has
been an unsuccessful Liberal candidate,
and is popular with Welsh Liberals.
Miss Mathilde Blind is a staunch Liberal
and member of the Women's Liberal
Federation, while Miss Jean Ingelow
holds Conservative views. Jerome X.
Jerome is a member of the Junior Con-
stitutiOnal Club, and a short time since
took the trouble to attend the Maryle
bone Registration Court in order to sup
port the claim to vote, which the Con-
Sentative agent made on his behalf. AS

every reader of her books will know.
EDNA Lyall" is ardently attached to the
Liberal cause, which she helps with both
time and money at Eastbourne, her place
of residence. George Meredith has al
ways been staunch- Liberal, and is a
member of the National Liberal Club,
where he sometimes stays on his flying
visits to London, while his friend,
Grant Allen" is, of course, pro-
nounced Socialist. 1t is curious to no
tice, by the way, how steadily socialism
is spreading among such members of the
literary and artistic professions as inter
est themselves in public affairs at all.
Rider Haggard, on the other hand, is as
conservative as most Suffolk squires, and
at the General Election last summer gave
some help to the Conservative candidates
in that county.

Antispasmoalics. A

Irregular nervous actions on tbs
part of overworked or weak individ
uals frequently show a tendency to
spasm and undue excitement which
it is sometimes difficult to control.
Hystel1a is one form of it, insomnia
or sleeplessness is another nantes
tation of it. The bromides have
been found the best medicines to
counteract this nervous, spasmodic
action. and especially the bromide of
potash and soda. If the bromide of
potassium is rejected by the stomach
there is some irritability in that re-
gion. and the soda salt should be
used. AT least four grains of the
bromide of potash should be given
to a child, and much larger doses
should be given to adults.
Too small doses to have any effect
are often administered. The bro
mides are nonpoisonous, and they can
be used with considerable freedom
among those who know nothing
about the danger of drugs. They
are also valuable sometimes in re-
lieving the pain of slight attacks of
collie and headache without leaving
any bad after effects. Yankee Blade.

A Radical Cure.

The pastor of a church in mining
village was greatly annoyed by the
conduct of the younger members OF
the flock.
When young woman got tired
of the evening sermon she would rise
and go out. A moment later her
beau" would seize his hat and sheep
ishly follow her to escort her home.
By the time the sermon was over
it was mostly the old people who
were left to hear the conclusion of it.
Mr.. Blank smothered his annoyance
for some time. At last he resolved
to act.
A youth grew sleepy one Sunday
evening, and picking up his coat and
hat stepped into the aisle To his
dismay the minister stopped short in
his discourse.
young man, he said, 1.-The lady
who went out last is not the one you
wish to escort home. When she goes
| will let you know Sit down. In
future when young woman goes
out | will call on the proper young
man to take care of her."
He resumed his sermon There
was much giggling and a great deal
of wrath. But his sermons were not
interrupted again during the whole
winter. - Yankee Blade.
