Koal-Spar is a new
preparation to save coal.
Directions for use: Dis
solve the Koal-Spar in
water and sprinkle it
over the coal. KOal-Spar
acts as a flue to aid the
combination of the Oxy-
gen in the air with the
coal gas in the coal; this
combination produces
what we call heat, Soft
coal, more than any
other, lacks the certain
elements which are re-
quired to make a perfect
com bustion. Koal-Spa7
supplies these elements.
The incomplete COM
bustiOn of coal causes
c.ialzers and cinders to
Iorm in stoves, and also
the liberation of coal gas
in large quantities.
The presence of coal
gas In 4 house not only
soils everything, but IL
IS very conducive to
colds IN the head, throat
and lung troubles. Don't
OrIet that euro is the
best remedy.
Koal-Spar will destroy
coal gas, smoke and
SCOT. A p cent package
will save a quarter of a
ton Of coal. Buy IL. Try
it, and be happy.
Send 16 2-cent stamps
and get a package by
mail.

Pupils of the Gunrd.

And one day in the Place of the Car
rousel, the great grand square in front
of the palace of the Tuileries, where
the Emperor held his weekly reviews
of the Imperial Guard, there came a
new surprise.
1t was beautiful August day. The
splendid palace, outlined against the
clear Partisan sky, made a grand back
ground for the mass of moving color,
as battalion after battalion wheeled
and circled and charged and manoeuv-
red Cavalry and infantry marched
and counter-marched, helmets glitter
ed, bands played, display was every
where.
Then, while the regiments stood at
rest, the gay strains of other mill
tary bands were heard, and into the
square, beneath the triumphal arch
crowned by the great bronze horses
of st. Marks Venice, came rank upon
in soldierly array, spick and span in
their new uniforms Of green and gold,
eight thousand little foot-soldiers, not
one of whom was yet in their teens.

smiling veterans.
The emperor appeared. The boys
went through the manoeuvres with
precision and ease. And when the re-
view was over, the emperor standing
midway between his veterans and his
boy brigade, pointed to the little sol
diers, and said to his grenadiers:
Soldiers Of my Guard. behold your
children! These are the Pupils Of the
Guard, the sons Of those who have
fallen in battle for France, the defend
ers upon whose valor the future Of
my empire must rest. To them l con-
fide the guarding of my son, as have

Wonderful Inventions,

Even the simplest OF our necessary
implements, which are such a matter
of course to us that it seems as If they
would be self-evident to any one, res
ouired years of experience and
thought to bring about their present
efficacy, says the Portland Transcript
This fact is exemplifed in the devel-
opmcnt OF the screw and the nail.
Forty years ago, as we are informed
by an elderly carpenter, all screws
were blunt at the end, like bolt. and
for their entrance into the wood it was
as necessary to provide a hole OF the
proper size and depth, Us it is to dig
one in the ground for the entrance OF
a post. Gimlets Of as varied sizes as
the screws aided the screw-driver, and
were just as necessary. The "gimlet-
pointed" screw, which has been in use
for the past forty years, was not even
thought of then, and so the carpen-
tiers bored hole for every screw, till
some one happened to think of COM
bining the screw and the gimlet, to the
lasting benefit of builders. We read
of the wrought-iron nails OF our ances-
tors, which split the wood like a
wedge, and which required previous
ly prepared hole as much as the blunt
screw. The square point OF the present
nail must be placed in proper rela-
tions with the grain to prevent split
ting the wood; and it is only recently,
after all these years OF building, that
q nail has been perfected that won't
split anything. 1t is the smooth. round
sharp pointed, nail so extensively used
now in the making OF boxes, fruit
crates, ETC., the narrow edges Of which
it penetrates with impuuity.

A WAR ECHO.
EVERY HONORABLE VETERAN
DESERVES HIS PENSION,
And the Lone Limb Is Not the Only
Reason for Government Re-
ward Either.

F'rom the Journal, Lewiston, Mel
Samuel r. Jordan has just given the
Journal an account of his life, which
in view Of his extremely hard lot for the
past few years is of great interest.
II am rs years old and have always
lived in New Portland. enlisted in
the army in 1852 as a private in Com
pany A, Twenty-eighty Maine Volun-
teers. My army experience injured my
health to some extent, although I
worked at blacksmithing some part Of
the time, when suddenly, several years
ago, L was Frustrated with what able
physicians pronounced Locomotor
Ataxia. At first 1 could get around
somewhat, yet the disease progressed
quite rapidly until 1 had hardly any
feeling in my legs and feet. they felt
like sticks of wood, and 1 grew so much
worse that / could not move for three
years without help, as my neishbors
and friends could testify. 1 employed
several physicians in nay vicinity, and
elsewhere, and they all told me that
medicines would not help me, that
they could do nothing to effect a cure
and that in time l should become en-
tirely helpless. l became discouraged.
/ was a great care to my wife and
frie: s. Shortly after 1 met an old
army comrade, Mr.. All. Parlin, a resi-
den. Il Madison, Me-, and he incidently
mentioned how he had tried DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills for a severe case of
rheumatism and a spinal and malarial
trouble, that he had suffered with con-
sequent of his army life, and had been
greatly benefited by their use. BY his
earnest recommendation l was induced
to try the pills. After taking them for
q time l began to feel prickly sensations
in my legs and a return of strength so
I could move them a little. After few
weeks 1 began to feel a marked i'm
provement in my condition. I soon was
enabled to walk around a little with
the help of crutches. After taking for
some time 1 can now walk without
crutches, my general health is much i'm
proved and 1 have regained my old
time vigor. 1 can walk about and enjoy
life once more, for which 1 feel very
thankful, and this happy result is due
to the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie were first compounded as q
prescription and used as such in
general practice by an eminent
physician. So great was their eff
cacy that it was deemed wise to
place them within the reach of all. They
are now manufactured by the DR.. Will
Jams Medicine company, Schenectady,
N. Y, and are sold in boxes (never in
loose form by the dozen or hundred, and
the public are cautioned against num-
erous limitations sold in this shape) at
so cents a box, or six boxes for 81. so, and

The Automatic Photographer.

The latest development Of automatic
machines will take the form OF u self
acting Photographic apparatus, This
ingenious contrivauce, which will be
offered to the public some time in De-
cember, is the invention OF Spanish
genius. In outward appearance the
machine is very similar to the in
Vulnerable Z zines for Turing the
humble penny from n curious public
that may be seen at any London
terminus. The mechanism is simple.
The person to be operated upon stands
on an iron plate and duly puts his
penny in the slot This brings into
play the machinery; the cap is re-
moved from the lens, at which the
subject is expected to look steadily
during the few seconds OF exposure.
Then, by remarkably rapid process
lasting from two aud half TO three
minutes, the photograph is developed
and elected from the machine. The
photograph is not, of course, on the
sensitized paper (Which would require
at least twenty-four hours for its de-
velopmenD; but 1t Is developed on a
metal plate-some preparation of tim
foil probably - and is really I'm i'm

Heavyweight Nurse.

Elephants make capital nurses. In
dian mothers constantly place their
babies under the elephants care, and
within reach of it's trunk, while they
go to fetch water or wood, and nc
jackal or wolf would be likely to pick
up or carry off baby who was thus
tended. But any one who has lived a
life knows how very possible it is for
a jackal or a wolf to carry off a baby
lying in a hut within a few feet of Its
mother, If her back be turned.
The children thus brought up In the
companionship of an elephant become
familiar with it. A little black child
about two feet high will stand on an
elephants back and take it down to
the water to battle.
On entering the water the huge AMI
nal will lie down and enjoy itself,
just leaving part of its body, like a
small island, above water, on which
the child stands and yells. II the
child slips off his island the elephants
trunk promptly replaces him in safety.

A Busy Lady Invalid.

A young woman residing near this
place in the river country has pair
of pet wasps which are as interesting
as they are unique in their way. She
has trained them to perform a great
many wonderful tricks, and it is in
deed marvellous to what degree Of in
telligence and agility her kindly care
and patient perseverance has brought
them. AS the young lady is an in
valid, she manages to get great deal
of profitable diversion from her queer
little pets.
Among other things she has taught
them to drink water from a thimble
and to perform the skirt dance" as
she calls it, by fluttering their wings
as they rest in the palm of her hand.
They will sing at her bidding, making
faint, almost inaudible cheep, and
seem to be passionately fond of music.
The young lady is quite fine musi-
clan, and when she plays on the piano
the wasps take up their position on
the music rack and never bulge I'M
til the performance is over.
The wasps would seem to have quite
a good deal of vanity, and nothing de-
lights them more than to be allowed
to walk about and inspect themselves
on little hand mirror, which is kept
for their exclusive use. Strange to re-
late, the wasps have never been
known to attempt to sting anybody,
although they have free access to all
parts of the house, and are seldom
confined even at night-Monroe La,

Missis sippi NAVIGATION,

The first vessel that ever entered the
Mississippi from the sea was the
French frigate Renomnee and the Gil
ronde, January 6, 100, and these yes
sells proceeded as far as the Tensass
which they reached April H. The
first vessel built on the banks of the
Mississippi by white men was in 1541,
shortly after the death and burial of
De Soto. The boatmen and early nav
igators Of the present century were
long in danger from Indians and pi-
rates. A notorious resort for these
was Crows Nest, or Stock Island,
and many fat-boats and crews were
sacrificed there until these pests were
eXterminated by mob law in 1909.
Previous to the adoption of steam
navigation the whole commerce from
New Orleans to the upper country
was carried in about twenty barges,
averaging 100 tons each and making
but one trip year, while there were
not over $50 keel boats on the upper
Ohio, carrying about thirty tons each
and making the trip from Pittsburg
to Louisville and back in about two
months, or about three voyages in a
season. From 1911 to 1850 576 boats
were lost, valued at over $1,000, 900.
In 233 cases the killed and wounded
aggregated 1900. The average age
of all the boats lost was five years.
Nom 1916 to 1871 there were SO ex-
plosions, involving loss of life in
