He works the city prisoners on a chain

cold weather the city furnishes them
with mittens and serviceable shoes
and every prisoner is expected TO do a
good days work. Those who refuse to
work or hang back in the traces are

most stubborn prisoners only stood the
dark cell SO hours, and IL hours OF Il Is
usually all that is required. Prisoners
who work well are usually given a
short diminution of sentence. The re-
suit OF this treatment is that the great
majority of the petty larceny thieves

happen to get i'm Jail for some minor
onense are never sent out on the chain

WILL THIS AIR SHIP GO?

A letter received from Berlin an
perfected a machine which solves the
problem of aerial navigation. Count
Won Zeppelin is distinguished officer
of the German army, who lives at
Wurttemberg. Like Maxim and
others, he has been four years eX
perimenting with airships, but unlike
Maxim and the rest, he has said moth
ing about his work until it was ready
to be tested. He spent large for
tune in pursuit of his aim, and is now
very poor and got the name of being
harmless but hopeless crank besides.
His ship ought to succeed after that.
The correspondent finds there is
every reason to believe it will. 1t has
sails and screws and is driven by
motor fed with kerosene. The motor
is made af aluminium. The dispatch
says the load to be carried by each
vessel must not exceed 5000 pounds,
but whether that includes the weight
of the vessel itself is not clear. The
points which seem to be clear for GER
tain are that the machine is cigar
shaped, like an ocean steamer; that
it can be moved up and down or for
ward and steered this way and that.
1t will rise between three and four
miles in the air without difficulty and
is so arranged for storing supplies,
that, according to the claim made for
it, it can remain above ground for
week. If this be true, Germany will
have an advantage over other nations
in war, for Kaiser Wilhelm will never
let this invention go out of the Ger
man army if he can help himself.

Soor after the close of tn

Soon after the close of the long
French war in Europe a boy was
standing on one of the bridges that
crosses the Thames at London, with a
number of small birds in cage for
sale. A sailor who was passing OBJ
served the little prisoners huttering
about the cage, peeping through the
wires and manifesting their eager de-
sire to regain their liberty. He stood
for some time looking at the birds,
apparently lost in thought. At length
addressing the boy, he said, CHOW
much do you ask for your birds?"
"Sixpence apiece, SIR" was the reply.
ST dou't ask how much apiece,n said
the sailor. CHOW much for the lot? [

gan his calculations, and found that
they came to six shillings and six
pence. "There's your money! said
the sailor, handing out the cash,
which the boy received with evident
satisfaction as his mornings trade.
No sooner was the bargain settled
than the sailor opened the door, and
let all the birds fly away. The boy,
looking quite astonished, exclaimed:
"What did you do that for, sir? You
have lost all your BIRDS - IT will tell
you," said the sailor. ''why I did it, I

and I am resolved not to see any

VENEZUELA'S RICHES

The chief wealth of Venezuela con-
sists of products of the soil, natural
and cultivated There are MANY cof-
fee and cacao plantations in the
mountain valleys near the coast. ard
coffee to the value of fourteen mil
lion dollars is exported yearly, which
is double the value of all other ex-
ports. Among the other cultivated
articles are manioc, sugar, cocoanuts,
maize (Indian CORN, tobacco, wheat,
cotton, indigo, sweet potatoes, and
melons. Canoes, which ascend the
upper Orinoco and its branches to the
forested region of the south east,
bring down rubber, vanilla, and tonka
beans, fruits, gums, and drugs The
forests are also rich in cabinet and
dye woods, useful flores, from which
cordage and hammocks are made, and
a variety of other products. The
deadly arrow poison is made in the
district south Of the Orinoco.
The central plains of the republic
form a vast grazing range, which
supports millions of cattle, horses,
and asses. These herds are subject
to great vicissitudes. They were re-
duced to a small fraction of their
normal size by the war for independ-
ence, and again by the civil wars end
ing in 1868; while vast numbers! of
horses and asses were destroyed by
murrain which broke out in 1913.

The half forgotten court gossip of
the past is full of little tales of the
tenderness which underlies the we'll
known force and firmness of her
majesty. When on the death of King
William w, Queen Adelaide wrote
to the young Victoria announcing the
event, the acceded princess replied
by a gentle and respectful letter
which she addressed to "the queen of
England;" and when a lady of the
court humbly demonstrated, saying,
"Your Majesty, you only are queen
of England" the pretty reply was
given, eyes; but aunt Adelaide must
not be reminded of that by me-" And
when, at taking the oath of allegiance
the two royal dukes bowed low be-

lips, she kissed them gravely, raising
them from the ground, saying to the
Duke of Sussex" Do not kneel, dear
uncle: IT L am queen, / am also your
niece! "-Forunl.

If we could trace dyspepsia to it's source, it
would lead back to our kitchens. In fact, the
secret of good health is good cooking. If well
cooked, foods are partially digested; if poor
ly cooked, they are less digestible than i'm
their raw state. If you are a victim of faulty
900 king; that is, if you suffer from dyspep-
STA, the rational cure must be looked for in
an artifcially digested food, and food which
will at the same time aid the digestion of 9TH
err foods. Such a preparation virtually rests
the tired digestive organs, thereby restoring
them to their natural strength. The Digest
i've Cordial, prepared by the Shakers OF
Mount Lebanon, is just such a preparation,
and a single 10 cent bottle will convince you
of it's value. If your druggist doesn't keep
it, he will be glad to get it through the whole
