In consumption beware of cough mix
lures and prescriptions that contain
opium Opium paralizes the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus a good
chance to destroy the lungs. 1t is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain trace of any opiate, but stimu-
lates the nerves with new life and power,
destroys the microbe, and restores all

remedy has ever been known to accom-
plish.

Theatrical Advertising.

Manager Hartz, of the Euclid Avenue
Opera House, Cleveland, Ohio, believes he
has demonstrated the superiority of news
paper advertising over all other forms. Last
week he decided to abandon all advertising
by means of bill board posters or window
hangers and to depend upon the newspapers
entirely. The result of the experiment was
gratifying as the house was sold out before
the performance began. Mr.. Hartz has
decided to put up no more posters.

Prince Edward,s Idea of Bliss.

Prince Edward of York, Queen
Victoria's great-grandson and pos
sible king of England, is jolly little
fellow, very decided, however, in his
likes and dislikes, although on first
acquaintance he is somewhat shy. A
charming woman who visits at Marl-
borough House has quite won little
Edwards heart.
At first the little prince was some
what shy with her, but as their ac-
craftsmanship progressed he relaxed
in his reserve. When she had sue
ceeded in winning his confidence the
little boy was most anxious to make
himself agreeable. One day he called
her aside very confdentially.

Beet Sugar as an Experiment.

For the first time in history beef
sugar will be manufactured in Mich.
gan this year. The 100000 factory
at Bay City will take care of a con.
tracted crop of $500 acres, and if this
factory proves successful-of which
there is no doubt other factories will
be built.in Michigan next year. Ex'
periments have proved that the per.
centage of sugar in the Michigan beet
is higher than is that in those raised
in other states; that the coefficient OF
purity is higher; that climatic condi-
tions are favorable and that the soil is
that of the home of the sugar beet.
Realizing the Importance of this in
dustry, the land department has made
great effort to get farmers interested.
Sample packages of seed were dis
tributed and the results of the expert
ments made will be determined by an

A Mimic Sea.

" To start an aquarium sounds rather
formidable undertaking from fnan-
Cial standpoint, says a writer in Har-
per's Round Table, yet it costs moth
ing to collect the treasures of the sea,
and once intelligently collected months
of pleasure are secured. The expeE-
sive glass globes called aquariums are
not necessary, nor even desirable. A
top will live in q bottle, and q sea
garden grow in preserve jar. In
stead, substitute a small, new tub,
implanted inside, or glass box made
of window panes set in framework
OF wood and cement. Into this tank
put two inches of we'll washed sea
sand, avoiding all worms and Aeas,
which would die and poison the water.
This layer of sand is for the benefit
OF the crabs and burrowing snails.
Then, with small, clean stones, free
from all vegetable growth, and little
cement, build mimic arcade in the
centre of the tank, which will provide
shade, without which your sleepless
fish will soon die. Little Jumps of
cement, stuck iTegularly about the
sides of the tub, afford root room for
weed, and so vary its monotony.
Having prepared the tank, fill it
with deep sea water, to guard against
the possible impurities of the shore.
As this water evaporates renew with
fresh water, since the original salt
never evaporates. The tank must be
placed where it will have plenty of
light and air, while guarded against
heat and dust. Sunlight is necessary
for the plant life of the aquarium, but
if the water ever becomes tepid the
fish will die. Now deposit in the
tank half dozen stones or. shells, to
which are attached the finer varieties
of growing weed, as sea lettuce and
ulyae. 1t is we'll to first wash these
carefully, lest decayed matter lurk in
the fr0nds.

Women Less Criminal Than Men

Without committing ourselves to an
expression of opinion upon the rela-
tive positions of men and women as
regards social ethics, we find that, as
regards conviction for crime, women
have much better record than men.
The crimes specified in this diagram
included nearly all the indictable Of
fences, and we see that only in "child-
stealing aud cruelty to children" do
women attain rate of crime higher
than the rate for men.
Taking all the indictable crimes the
percentage of women convicted is Is,
as compared with o male percentage
of So or rather more than 4 IL men
to one woman. 1t may be interest
ing to compare the numbers of male
and female criminals for some other
countries:

Duel in BIrdland.

Duelling between men has long
gone out of fashion in England, and
it is left to nations and lower animals
to settle their differences by an appeal
to arms. In Kew gardens, in the
presence of q considerable number of
spectators, an aGSir of honor was
settled between pelican and duck.
The birds had had words together, so
to speak, and the pelican determined
that the next best thing to making the
duck eat his words was to eat the
duck. SO, after a little thrust and
parry on the water, he made for the
smaller bird and snapped it into his
pouch. Then battle-royal began in
side the pouch of the pelican. The
duck struggled, kicked, quacked, and
occasionally managed to get leg or q
wing outside, while his captor threw
his beak high in the mir, then dipped
It into the water and kept it there, as
II trying to suffocate or drown its
enemy. From the look of the agitated
pouch it seemed as if the contest was
by no means one-sided, but that the
pelican was having rather rough
time. At last the duck got his head
and one wing out, and then, with a
magnificent effort, managed to get en-
tireIy free. Once again on the water
the duck declined further combat anC
fed, while the pelican remained, look
ingas if honor was thoroughly salts

"But no; here I am yellow puppy
and they call me Dewey. Of course
with that name you'd naturally think
I would be expected to show very
warlike disposition, so bark furiously
at passing teams, make brave dashes
at women's silken skirts and gay

A very melancholy looking little
yellow dog crouched in the darkest
corner of the cavernous space under
the front steps of the great house.
cit seems as though 1 we're brought
into the world for the sole purpose Of
being a nuisance. The little dog was
scared and ont of sorts generally
there was no doubt about it, and
he had good reason for his frame of
mind, as the following soliloquy will
show:
81 was making the feathers fly and
the chickens fly when swish-bang
came a broom after me with nearly as
much force as cannon ball. And a
voice said, oh, you good-for-nothing
dogp
''Now what am I to do? If they
wanted quiet, sober little dog of me
why didn't they call me Flossie or
Fido OF some other soft-sounding
name?
"But to call me Dewey and then
expect me to do nothing rough, why,
it's perfectly absurd.
yesterday [ was having such a
nice, quiet time, and I thought no one
could possibly object to my innocent
amusement. After breakfast walked
into the parlor just to see if couldn't
find something to do. On the couch
there was q white object with black
feathers sticking out of it.
" 'Chickens' / growled under my
breath, but straightway thought, No,
Dewey, you mustn't chase chickens,
so [ dropped down on the floor with
a sigh and began watching the object.
Well, it didn't move, and the more I
looked at it the more l thought il
would do no harm to play with it. So
I jumped up and dragged it under the
couch, and the fun l had with that
thing would have made you laugh. ]
pulled the feathers out. [ chewed
and ripped great punches of soft
gauzy stuff off of it, and just as I was
making the feathers fly to the right
and to the left Mr.. Edwin Macarthur,
my master, came into the room.

"When ladies call on mistress now
she shows them the object I thought
looked like chicken, and they give
little screams and say, 'Oh, Sara, your
new Paris hat! Can it be repaired?
They never ask if Dewey can be
repaired.
II know I'm a good-for-nothine

me after all, for last night she took
me in her arms and said: Dewey you

both puzzled and annoyed by the diff

books. Generally all ingredients are
measured by the cup. pint and quart. So
when an author advises that one nut n
half pound OF sugar into certain prep
aratlon the uninitiated housewife is
seized with despair when she recalls
the fact that her scales are broken or
that she has none. One woman who
insists that measuring with cup and
spoon is good enough for her had the
following rules copied on the typewri-
ter. and tackled on her kitchen wall:
One pound of liquids equals one pint
One ounce of flour equals two table
spoonfuls. One pound of butter equals
two cupsful. One pound Of flour equals

sugar equals two large cupsrul. One
