so folded against the base of the

across the second like bow across a

several times larger than the fiddle.
And now as to the way these crabs
play their tlddles. A robber crab

A Trusty Guardian.

More than forty years ago, in 1851,
I visited party of friends in the
Bendigo gold-flelds in Australia,
where I was cordially welcomed.
Among the valued possessions of my
friends was an English mastaff which
belonged to one Of the gentlemen.
The good understanding between
myself and the mastaff appeared to
have become so well established dur
ing the evening, that on the next
day l left the claim where my friends
were at work, to fetch kettle of tea
from the tent, without the least mis-
giving as to my reception by him.
Rex" who was always allowed to
run loose came forward to meet me.
He allowed me to stroke his head,
and, so far as could see, showed no
interest in my movements as / en-
tered the tent and took drink Of

leave the tent with the kettle in my
hand, imagine nv astonishment when
/ saw the supposed friend Rex facing
me, and showing his teeth in a very
threatening manner [ put down the
kettle, seated myself on the edge of
the campbell, and spoke to him. He
waged his tail and looked 80 friendly
that I thought must have made a
mistake about his intentions Not
at all. The moment i attempted to
leave the tent with the kettle, ! had
reason to know that Rex's broad
grin was no mere notion, but, On the
contrary, a real sign that he was
true to his trust as he understood it.
/ talked to him again, set down
the kettle. and attempted to- leave
without it. Still Rex objected. He
had his doubts, and determined to-
give his masters the benefit OF them.
There was no help for it; was held
prisoner, and could do nothing but
sit down and wait patiently for one
of the party to come to- nay relief.
No one came until nearly an hour
later, by which time my long absence
had caused my friends to suspect that

to build a new and modern ship

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feEers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

The Remedial Use of Apples.

Chemically the apples is composed
of vegetable fiber, albumin, sugar,
gum chlorophyl, malic acid, gallo
acid, lime, and much water. Further
more the German analysts say that
the apple contains a larger percent
age Of phosphorus than any other
fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus
is admirably adapted for renewing
the essential nervous matter, lecithin
of the brain and spinal cord. 1t is,
perhaps, tor the same reason, rudelY
understood, that old Scandinavian
traditions represent the apple as the
food Of the gods, who, when thew felt
themselves growing feeble and in
firm. resorted to this fruit renewing
their powers of mind and body. Also,
the acids of the apple are of singular
use for men Of sedentary habits, whose
livers are sluggish in action, those
acids serving to eliminate from the
body noxious matters, which, If re-
tanned would make the brain heavy
and dull, or bring about jaundice or
skin eruptions and other allied
troubles. Some such an experience
must have led to our custom Of TAX
ing apple sauce with roast pork, rich
goose, and like dishes. The malic
acid Of ripe apples, either raw or
cooked, will neutralize any excess OF
chalky matter engendered by eating
TOO much meat It is also the fact
that such rich fruits as the apple, the
pear, and the plum, when taken ripe
and without sugar, diminish acidity
in the stomach, rather than provoke
it Their vegetable sauces and juices
are converted into alkaline carbon
ates, which tend to counterfeit acid
