FIRE GRENADE AGENT FOOLED.
The Proprietor of the Hotel Lost
Good Customer.

Good Customer.
The proprietor of suburban hotel has
son whose sense of humor seems likely to re.
suit in the destruction of the business of the
house. Recently one of the guests was the
travelling representative OF fire grenade
manufacturing house, The grenades are
green glass bottles filled with a compound
that is said to smother fire. They are hurled
into the center of the blaze, and, bursting
engine and a line Of hose unnecessary.
The fire grenade agent remained several
days at the hotel and advertised that before
his departure he would give grand exhibit
ton Of the efficiency of the green glass bot
ties. Early in the evening when the exhi-
bition was advertised to take place large
and curious crowd gathered in front Of the
the street, boxes and barrels being piled
many feet high. After seeing that the fire
was roaring merrily the agent made his ap.
pearance bearing an armful of fire grenades.
He hurled the bottles one after another into
the blazing pile, but instead of smothering
the flames the grenades seemed to have the
opposite effect The fire blazed up nearly
twice it's former height, and the surround
ing buildings began to shed their paint,
while the crowd drew back from the fierce
heat.
The agent was the most astonished man in
the group until he learned that the son of
the hotel proprietor had extracted the gren.
AIDES from the sample case, poured out the
contents and then filled them with gaso.
line. The crowd soon found out that the
grenades had been "doctored," and yells of
the agent as he attempted to persuade the
hotel proprietor that the house should pay
the costs of the indulgence of the small boys

l Dog Tint Works.

Philadelphia has a one-legged knife.
grinder who is particularly proud OF
his dog, and no wonder, for the intelli-
gent animal aids him greatly in his
daily toll. It was formerly the mans
custom-his crippled condition pre-
venting him from working the pedal
to pay stray youngsters to turn the
wheel for him. This, of course, greatly
curtailed his profits; so he set about
training a Newfoundland dog to do the
duty. The canine pupil was apt, and
is now installed as the grinders regular
assistant. The grindstone is very
small one, and, by standing on box,
the dog is able to reach the handle and
turn it fast or slow, as his master do

He Was Waiting.

A young theological student who is about
to depart for the missionary fields told an
amusing story on himself the other evening
his determining to preach the Gospel to the
heather. He had called on young lady, and
her little brother posted himself in an arm
chair facing a handsome gilt clock. He
had been there half an hour, when the young
lady said: ."Robbie, why don't you 60 to

A TYPICAL EGYPTIAN VILLAGE
1t Is Made Up OF HutS of Sun-Dried
Mud, Without Ventilation and
Overrun with Vermin.

Built entirely of sun-dried mud, the
small, low huts, from considerations of
economy and space, join one another
whenever possible. Narrow and tortu-
Gus lanes, left at haphazard, form the
only thoroughfares, in which at first
appears to be huge mound of mud,
surmounted by heaps of cotton and dur
"a stalks, which serve the dual purpose
of thatch and fuel. Many of these lanes
in neighbours courtyard and forcing
one to retrace his steps and try again.
Experience has taught me that it is
never wise to assume that the streets
lead in the direction at first suggest
ed; it is often safer to start the other
way and trust to the winding of the
path to bring one out somewhere near
the desired spot.
AS a rule, the villages have the ap-
pearance of Notifications, the outside
walls being frequently without doors
Or windows, and the lanes of the village
terminating in massive wooden doors,
which are usually closed at nightfall,
8
guffrah, or night-watchmen
Each ''house",has usually one door,
opening into the lane, small and low;
and the few windows, if provided at all,
are merely Sits in the mud wall, inno-
cent Of glass or shutter, but ornament
ed with lattice of split bamboo, placed
crosswise during building. Ventilation
there is virtually none, the smoke of the
fire of dung or corn-cobs finding it's
egress by the door, and well-nigh chok-
ing the inhabitants, which include not
only the family, but chickens, turkeys,
pigeons, goats and whatever live stock
the inhabitants possess.
Every effort to exclude air seems to
be made, the houses being too low to
feel the breeZes, and the streets too mar
row to allow of any air circulation. The
roofs, covered with piles of rubbish for
fuel, afford accommodation for Sec
ond installment of goats, pigeons, cats,
and especially dogs. One wonders how
life can be supported in such condi-
tons; yet the people are well-condi-
toned and healthy, living their lives in
the fields, and returning to their houses
only to eat and sleep. Insect life natur-
ally abounds, the Egyptian flea partic-
ularly being prodigy of manly vigor
and activity; but the fellah has hide
like gamoos (the Egyptian buffalo),
and even travellers like myself eventu-
ally become impervious to it's onslaught.
Outside the village, and almost at their
very doors, the filth and offal of the
place are deposited, resulting in the
development of that plague peculiar to
Egyptian life" fies''-disgusting, but
very necessary as scavengers, without
which and the equally valuable rat
these villages would quickly become
uninhabitable.-R. Talbot Kelly, in
Century.

that a step on the floor unsettled me.
Eminent doctors, skillful nurses, the best
food and medicine all failed. Then I con-
scented to an operation. That, too, failed
and they said another was necessary. After
the second I was worse than ever and the
world was darker than before.
ut was then I heard Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. I heard that
they had cured cases like mine and tried
them.
"They cured me! They brought sun
slime to my life and filled my cup. with hap
riness. The headache is gone; the witch
ing is gone; the nervousness is gone; the
trembling has ceased, and have gained
twenty-six pounds. Health and strength is
mine and I am thankful to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People for the blessing"
These pills are boon to womankind
Acting directly on the blood and nerves,
they restore the requisite vitality to all parts
of the body; creating functional regularity
and perfect harmony throughout the ner-
vous system. The pallor of the cheeks is
changed to the delicate blush of health; the
eyes brighten; the muscles grow elastic,
ambition is created and good health returns.
