A MODEL FROM REAL LIFE.

Train, author of A Social Highway
man, in the dramatizatiOn of which

making such q hit, ''to know that the
character Of the medium in the spirit
ualiStic seance is carefully drawn
from life, my model being a most
wonderful and psychologically inter
esting lady whose marvellous powers

to me that Miss Ethel Douglass
should have so eXcellently caught not
only the general spirit of the scene
and all the little tricks and effects
which mark the character Of this won
derful person, but Should also have
been able to portray the personality of
the old French doctor, whose spirit

LINCOLN AND GOVERNOR TOD

There are numerous anecdotes con,
nected with Lincoln which seem tC
have caught something of grace from
that connection, and which can well
be reproduced in this place.
One concerns his meeting with Gov
ernor Tod, of Ohio. Mr.. Lincoln said
to him at one time:
Il never could understand how you
come to spell your name with only one
d. Now, / married a Todd, and she
spells her name with two DIS, and l
believe she knows how to spell What
is your authority for using only one?''
''Well," drawled Governor Tod, my
authority for it is in part the fact that
God spells his name with only one d.
and it seems l should be satisfied If
he is
Lincoln often told this story, and it
amused him immensely. Some men
have declared the whole incident was
matter of his own creation. and that
the talented. Ohioan had never made
the excellent reply accredited to him.
Whether or not that is the case, the
fact remains that the conception al
ways seemed vastly entertaining to
Lincoln.

APES AS CADDIES.

Pets are mostly kept for the pur-
pose of merely being petted, though
now and again they are taught to
make themselves useful. The latest
instance Of the useful pet IS the case
Of the TWO apes which have been
trained to act as caddies in the now
professional game of golf. The caddie
is indispensable to a golf player, and
Miss Dent, whose brother, Lieutenant
Dent, Of the United States navy, has
recently returned from the China sta
ton, has two FOrmosa apes which he
brought her, and which they have
trained TO the business of caddies.
They wear liyeries Of white duck, and
each has a Turkish fez. Miss Dent
IS a capital golf player, and to see
her OH the links of the Bath Beach
club, San Francisco, attended by her
apes, is the latest sensa tion in that
ocality.-London Tft-Bits.

Preventing BurdOck from Seeding
Though only a biennial, the burdock
is a bad weed from its innumerable
seeds, which are distributed by every
person or animal that comes in con-
tact with the ripened plant. Cutting
the burdock down when it begins 10
form blossoms will usually kill it, as
at this stage Of growth the root has
but little vigor left. But when these
large burdocks are piled for burning
there should be plenty of dry wood in
the heap, so as to make hot ire.
If the weeds are burned alone some
Of the seed will fall down to the bot
tom of the burning pile and escape de
StructiOn. In a slow fire made from
green weeds there is a stratum OF
carbonic acid gas at the bottom OF
the heap in which nothing will burn

I'D where it would seem that the seed
must have been in the land. Use great
care when purchasing grass or grain

peas ON our own farm stands without
a single mustard or kale to be seen,
while some Of the neighbors have been
obliged to cut their grain before it
ripened on account of the large amount
of these weeds it contained. This
cleanliness from weed pests was OBJ
tanned by purchasing oats that we

SECOND SUMMER
Most Critical Year in the Bahy's
Existence.
At No Time So Liable to Sudden InteS-
tinal Disorders.
The Earliest Victims to Cholera
Infantum.
Extraordinary Care with Baby's
Food Essential.

Weaning baby in summer Is attended
with peril when heat and improper
feeding conspire to derange the sensi-
tive stomach.
As warm weather comes on children
require the most wholesome nourishing
and palatable diet possible, and lac
tated food should be in the hands of
every mother. Sudden changes of the
atmosphere are dangerous above all
things to infants whose digestive ap-
paratus is out of order, and the use
of lactated food is especially to be COM
mended because of it's corrective in
fiuence in cases of irritability of the
stomach.
Then, too, the mother who has tried
hard to nurse her child, but growing
weak and losing her own appetite until
she is nearly worn out, and finds now
that she must wean her infant while
the days and nights are growing hotter
and more and more debilitatng can do
so, as thousands of mothers have done
before, upon lactated food.
The infant will like it and grow
strong and happy upon it. The compo-
sition of lactated food Is simply this:
It's basis is sugar of milk; with 1t is
combined the digestive elements of
wheat, barley and oats, producing a
pure food which meets every require
ment of the growing child.
There Is no secret about 1t. 1t Is the
food physicians use in their own fam
lilies and most generally prescribe.
Thousands of mothers have testified
to the fact that lactated food has done
what nothing else could do-saved the
lives of their little ones.
No better evidence can be offered of
its superiority than the many instances
in which fretful, peevish and sleepless
babies, as soon as put on lactated
feed, sleep all night and wake up
laughing. The happy change, physi-
clans say, is solely due to the superior
nourishing and satisfying qualities of
this best of foods.
1t must be borne in mind that lac
tated food is so inexpensive that it is
within the reach of every family.
