If we could trace Dyspepsia to it'd
source, 1t would lead back to our kid
chens. In fact, the secret of good health
is good cooking. If well cooked, foodI
are partially digested; if poorly cooked
they are less digestlble than in their ravI
state. If you are a victim of faultJ
cooking that is, if you suffer from DysI
pepsia, the rational cure must be looked
for IN an artificially digested food, and a
1000 which will at the same time aid thd
digestion of other foods. Such a prep|
aration virtually rests the tired digestive
organs, thereby restoring them to theiI
natural strength.

The Awakening Tiger.

Between the drowsy sleep of the noc'
turnal animals and the representative
sleep of those which spend their lives IN
constant fear of their enemies place
must be found for the form of slumber
enjoyed by the large carnivora and that
of domestic animals. The former have
no enemies to fear except man, and the
latter, protected by man, enjoy TO the
full the blessing of natural rest.
Tigers are frequently found fast
asleep in the daytime. Native hunters
have been known to track them after
"kill" to the place in which they were
living fast asleep and gorged with food
and to shoot them as they lie. when
taking his midday repose i'll districts
where it is little disturbed, the tiger
does not always retire to place OF Sc
curity, like the bear, or even the ieop'
ard. which usually sleeps on the branch
of q tree. 1t just lies down in some con-
venient spot. either shady or warm, ac-
cording to the weather, and there sleeps
almost regardless of danger. They have
been found lying in dry nullahs, unuer
trees and even in the grass OF the Mill
sides unobserved until their disturper
came within few yards OF them.
General Douglas Hamilton, when
shooting in the Dandilly forest, came
upon tigress and two cubs lying 1as'
as,een ON their backs, with their paws
sticking MP in the air, under olump OF
bamboos. When he was within Few
yards Of the group, one raised us nea ,'
and without moving its body quietly
looked at him along the line OF It's oody
between its paws. Tigers kept IN cap,
tivity awaken gradually, stretching anu
vawning like dog. London Spectator

a master of descriptive writing, at his

NV own favorite is Charles Lamb.
Seeing that was greatly Interested,
he went OH to point out the beauties OF

lovely passage in 1.-THE New Years

English prose, equal to anything OF the
seventeenth century, "the English as

Mr.. Froude was great admirer OF

Ancient Use of the Mace.

The ancient use Of the mace intro
duoes us to remarkable instance OF
ecclesiastical casuistry. The clergy was
forbidden to shed blood, and as thus the
sword was inhibited this might have
been thought sufficient to keep them
from the battlefield. But not so; they
adopted the mace. Though they could
not cut mans throat, yet might they
break his head. So Bishop Ohio, half
brother Of William. fought alongside OF
the oonqueror at the bitter battle OF
Hastings with great effect, the brothers
being, as you may say. "a pair OF nut
crackers. Notes and Queries

The Bashful Student Thought the Venus

The Bashful Student Thought the venus
OF Medici Was a Living Bather.
A funny story of modest man is
told by Aubrey de We're i'll The Century
Magazine. After so years seclusion
within the walls of his college certain
venerable fellow of Cambridge univer-
sity thought it was time for him to see
a little of the world, and he accepted an
invitation from an early pupil who was
entertaining a large party in great
country house At dinner he sat next
to the young lady Of the house. Their
conversation fell upon baths, and she
happened to mention that she took a
shower bath every morning to invigorate
her system, adding, when he inquired
what a shower bath was, that it resem-
bled very small round room; that the
bather took his or her stand in the CEN
ter of it, and upon pulling string was
drenched by sudden flood OF water from
above.
Next morning the recluse rose at his
usual hour-6 o'clock-and being OF an
inquisitive temper thought it well to
explore carefully what he had never
seen before-a large country house. On
pulling open door he found himself at
the entrance of very small circular
apartment one Of those in which house.

DEATHS RED LIGHT.
1t Was Waved at an Engineer, Betoken
ing His Mothers Demise.

IL Was waved at an Engineer, BetOken-
ing His Mothers Demise.
1.-The most peculiar case ever heard
OF, " said telegraph operator, occur
red in our family. My father was an
engineer on the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad, running into Richmond. One
night while quite distance from the
latter city and nearing his run he saw a
bright red light on the track several
hundred yards ahead. The signal was
also seen by his fireman and the front
brakeman. The train was at once stop
ped, but not a trace Of the signalman or
light could be found, and the track was
all right. Father looked at his watch
and noted that the time was o'clock.
The train pulled out, proceeding eau
tiously for some distance without
meeting any obstruction. Several miles
farther the light was again seen.
Once more stopping, another search was
made, with no more success than before.
This happened at S:2S. Father was new
er superstitious, but this was inexplica-
BILE. Much mystified, he proceeded on
the way, only to be stopped third time
by the red light at 1851 o'clock. Anoth-
er search by the crew failed to disclose
the slightest trace of the mysterious sig
mailman. Finally, giving up the search,
the men returned to their posts. and the
train at last pulled up into Richmond
without further mishap
when father alighted from the cab,
a telegram was handed him announcing
the death of his mother. Without delay
he went to her home, which was sew
eral miles out of the city, OH the rail
road. Soon after his arrival he learned
that telegram had been sent to him
while he was out OH duty, summonine
him to grandmother bedside. The
time at which father had seen the mys
terious red lights was indelibly i'm
| pressed ON his memory, and he learned
upon inquiry that at precisely the min
ute at which the first red light was seei
she had asked if he had come. She thei
repeated the question at the time he saw
the second light, and the appearance o
the third light was simultaneous will
her death. Richmond Times.

Tallow Dips of Our Ancestors.
To the present generation it may seem
next door TO the incredible that in the
first years of the reign of William ~
there were no lucifer matches. In lieu
thereof there were only long matches or
splints of wood tipped at each end with
melted sulphur and before the compli-

kindled first by striking light with
flint and steel and then causing the
spark to ignite a small quantity OF tim
der, an infammable substance usually
composed of partially burned linen.
This simple adjunct to the process OF
obtaining a light had been i'll use all
over the world from time immemorial.
The French finder was called lama
dou, word the etymology of which
has been fiercely contested, some phi
lologers deriving it from the old French
adjective "amadou, equivalent to am
orous, and conveying the moral idea OF
the sweetly agreeable sensation OF the
hand coming in contact with very soft
substance, while others trace it to the
Latin lad manum dulce." The French
finder was often made of the spongy
portions of mushrooms and other fungi,
and prior to the introduction of lucifer
matches the manufacture of amadou
was one of considerable importance.
The cryptogamic substance was beaten
ON block somewhat after the manner
of felt until it became homogeneous,
and it was then impregnated with a
solution of salts Of inter or simply pull
verified gunpowder. The Germans still
fabricate delicate kind Of amadou
which is used in surgery for stanching
hemorrhage. As for flint and steel, they
have as completely faded out from our
domestic economy as they have from

William Cobbett was boy, English
cottagers used to make for themselves
by gathering rushes and dipping them

cient thick adipose matter was obtained.
In houses where refinement was sup
posed to prevail the rushlight was
invariably placed in a japanned tir
shade perforated with circular orifices,
and the insomnolent invalid had thu
pleasure of contemplating a large
number of round spots of light on thu

smelled abominably, have also died TIT

A nice looking married couple went

Portable. After the first dinner the lady
was observed scraping together some
dainties from the board to take to her
room. The landlady, who is woman
of great decision of character, heard of
it, and her knock was shortly afterward
heard at the door of the new boarders.
The latter Were Immediately notified
that either they or the dog must vacate
