Gigantic Antarctic Icebergs.

"The snowfall of each year adds a
new stratum to this ice-cap, which is as
distinguishable to the eye as is the an
nual accretion of forest tree" writes
Gen. A. w. Greedy, L. S. A., describing
in the Ladies' Home Journal What
There Is at the South Pole Thus in
centuries have accumulated on Antarc-
tica these SHOWS, which, by processes Of
pressure, thawing and regelation, have
formed an ice-cap that in places eX-
ceeds 5000 feet in thickness. Through
the action of various forceS-that of
contraction and expansion by changing
temperature being, perhaps, the most
potent-this ice-cap creeps steadily sea
ward and projects into the ocean per-
pendicular front from 1,0CO to 1000 feet
in height. The temperature of the sea
water being about twenty nine degrees,
the fresh water ice remains unWasted,
and the ice-barrier plows the ocean bed
until through flotatiOn in deep water
disruption occurs, and the tabular berg
is formed. These bergs are of a size
that long taxed the belief of men, but
it is now we'll esta blished that bergs
two miles square and 1000 feet in
thickness are not rare; others are as
large as thirty miles in length and some
nearly 5000 feet in thickness, their per-
pendicular, sun-wasted sides rising
from 200 to 400 feet above the sea-

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshheld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years l have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. e,
Springfield, ILL.,, and ST. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted prelu-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely go-l>, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had l only used your S.S.S. long ago,
l would have escaped years of misery
and saved over SI5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it geta at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

TO A SKELETON.

CThe following verses were published
anonymously in the London Morning
Chronicle in 1927. Notwithstanding the
offer of a reward of fifty guineas, the au-
thor's name has remained secret until
nearly sixty years had passed, when IT
was learned that the lines were written
by Robert Philip, of Gormyre Cottage
Scotland. Toward the end of the year
1926 he wrote the verses while watching
for body snatchers in the parish church
yard of Torphichen, where, during the
repairing of the church, the unearthing OF
skeleton suggested the subject. Ihe
verses were shown to DR.. John Afford,
who procured a copy, and either by accl-
dent or intention dropped a copy in the
Royal College of Surgeons, where they
were found)
Behold this ruin! Twas skull
Once of ethereal spirit FULL
This narrow cell was lfe's retreat,
This space was thoughts mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions filled this spot,
What dreams of pleasure long forgot!
Nor love, nor joy, nor hope, nor fear
Have left one trace of record here.
Beneath this moldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye.
But start not at the dismal void!
If social love that eye employed,
If with no lawless fire it cleaned,
But, through the dews of kindness beam
ed,
That eye shall be forever bright,
When stars and suns are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift, and tuneful tongue.
If falsehood's honey it disdained,
And where it could not praise was
chained,
If bold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
That silent tongue shall plead for thee
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the mine,
Or with its envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock or wear the gem
Can little now avail to them
But if the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands a richer need shall claim
Than all that waits on wealth or fame.
Avails it whether bare or shod
These feet the paths of duty trod?
If from the bowers of ease they fed
To seek affections humble shed;
If grandeur's guilty bribe they spurned,
And home to virtues cot returned
These feet with angels wings shall vie
And tread the palace of the sky.

A Paris Weddinv

A very funny wedding was recently
celebrated in village near Paris. The
bride was As years of age, and the
bridegroom only %. The bridal pro
cession was formed at s o'clock in the
evening and was led by man riding
a camel, fiddler followed him seated
on a donkey, the rest Of the guests rid
ing similar animals. In the only car
riage rode the bride-groom's mother,
who was only two years older than his
wife. Great amusement was caused by
this grotesque procession among the vii
layers. who accompanied it, carrying
colored lanterns, and beating wild
tattoo upon the pots and frying pans

A Bird That Shayes Itself.

The lammergeyer, OF bearded vulture,
found throughout the whole mountain
chains of the old world, actually shaves
himself. The expert barber, who has
for his customers crusty millionaires,
could not ply the keen edged razor to
the stubby beard of his particular pa
tron more deftly than the monarch OF
the mountain tops prunes his own bris
tly beard.
The head of the vulture is clothed
with feathers, and from the sides of the
under mandible proceeds row of black
bristles. From this peculiar projection
of feathers the bird derives his name. A
layer of similar bristles begins at the
eye and covers the nostrils, forming a
f1eecy mustache.
With his strong and sharp claws,
which act as tho razor, he begins tC
trim his fibrous whiskers with great
care and dexterity. He does this with
great regularity, and soon the downy
beard and mustache give way to full
growth of bristly feathers. San Fran

LlrIIe courtesy Among travellers.

81 am sorry to have to say it, )" re-
marked sleeping car conductor, "but
somehow-and | have no explanation
for it-men travelling are not as cour-
teous and accommodating to lady trav~
elers as they should be. The men who
ask for all kinds of accommodations,
when they have their wives, sisters or
female relatives travelling with them
and they never fail then to claim every
thing in sight-are in many cases the
men who declins to give similar favOrs
to other lady passengers. AS matter
of fact the upper berths i'll sleeping
car are the best, the bes6 ventilated,
and 1 think experience has shown the
safest in cases of wreck. Still, the de-
mand is nearly always for the lower
berths, because it is easier to get into
them. This is particularly so with lady
travellers. In my last half dozen trips
from and back to this city have had
more than the usual percentage of lady
passengers, and | have not succeeded in
one case in getting any of the men trav
elers to surrender lower berth for an
upper berth. The men, being more ex.
perienced, secured the lower berths and

A Student of Solomon.

Robert Ferguson, the unhappy Scot
fish poet so greatly admired by Burns,
was a delicate child, and, perhaps for
that reason, very fond of books His
chief delight was to read the Bible.
and especially the Proverbs of Solo
mon. This early study caused him TO
take what he read very seriously to
heart One day little Bob ran into his
mothers room, and with tears in his
eyes cried out to her to whip him. She
asked him what was wrong, and to her
amazement, he replied with the utmost
earnestness: "Oh, mother! he that
spareth the rod hateth his son."
