The most valuable book In the world
is tire Hebralc Bible. At the Vatican,
In 1912, the Jews tried TO buy 1t of
Pope Julius ii. for Its weight In gold.
1t Is so large and heavy that two men
can hardly lift 1t, and 1t would have
brought 100000 If the Pope had con-
scented to part with It.
Many things are reversed In Austria
liza. 1t Is summer there while 1t Is win
ter In Great Britain. Trees shed their
bark instead of their leaves: fruit has
the stone or kernel outside; swans are
black; there Is n species of fly that
kills and eats the spider, and fish,
called the climbing perch, that walks
deliberately out of the water, and,
with the aid of Its fins, climbs the ad-
jacent trees after the insects that in
fest them. Most of the birds have no
song and the flowers no odor.
One of the most remarkable lakes on
earth's surface is situated at Tar Point.
ON the Island of Trinidad. and bears
the suggestive name of Pitch Lake.
At first view the surface of this lake
which is not lake" gives one the i'm
preston that it is a large body of
placid water, but closer examination
proves 1t to be vast plain covered
with hard and hardening pitch. In the
winter months the surface of this lake
is perfectly smooth and of consisten-
cy sufficient to bear any weight
Prunes are sold In three sizes. The
largest size Is called the thirty to for
ties. This means that thirty to forty
OF these prunes make pound. The
medium size is forty to fifty, and the
small size fifty to sixty. The largest
prunes are of course the most valuable.
The average price the growers get for
their prunes is 3A cents pound. An
orchard Of $50 trees will give grower
an average profit of $500 year. An
acre will grow about 100 trees, planted
with the proper distances between
them. The trees bear the third year
after planting and live from ten to
twenty years. French prunes pay the
best.
What constitutes an accidenti A
man died not long ago in Vermont in
consequence of perforation of the In
testine by sharp fragments of some
indigestible material swallowed with
the food. He was the holder of an ac-
cident policy insuring him. according
to the usual formula, against bodily
injury sustained through external VIC
lent and accidental means" The COM
pany refused to pay on the ground that
the mans death was not an accident,
but the court decided that this was an
accidental injury within the meaning
of the policy. In New York State It
has been decided that the taking OF
poison is not an accident In the mean
Ing of a similar insurance policy, but
In Illinois the courts have ruled exactly
the opposite

"Thcre is a great deal that is out of

Mott of Boise City, Ida, although

probably more SO In the relation than
In the actual happening. In every

working a vein had gone through into

and consequently were taking out
what wasn't theirs. These claims 1t
was always difficult to substantiate.
for the reason that the offender, of
course, would not allow the offended to
enter his workings, and without a sur
vey 1t would be impossible to make out
case. Every subterfuge and excuse
possible was resorted to to get into q
suspected mine.
II remember one case In an apex of
vein suit, where the workings had
been temporarily shut down and a man
called Johnny Come Lately heavily
armed, was on guard. The other side
had tried again and again to get by
Johnny but had always failed, when
one man, who knew that johnny was
an enthusiastic hunter. hired an ac-
quaintance of his to stroll by with a
gun over his arm and to engage John

"Then there was the case of the

case the workings happened to run to-

were working the same vein from I'M

SINCE rHReeis A CROWD.

To parks and plays she's gone with me
For eighteen months or more;
I've found her best OF company
In trips asea, ashore.
And yet Of love she's never framed
A word for me. I'll own.
Yet for this lack she can't be blamed
She's Dolly's .chaperone.
She never views in listless way
At flower shows the prize;
She quite appreciates a play
You see that in her eyes.
Her sphere OF actions limited,
The escorts not her own.
But unobtrusiye. be It said,
Is Dolly's chaperone.
She's twenty-five II she's a day.
And Dolly's but nineteen:
Her eyes are blue and Dolly's gray
Blue eyes are true, ween.
Since "three's a crowd" think, mayhap.
I'll WOO a maid alone;
I've half a mind to set my cap
For Dolly's ehaperone

Wo,,san,s
Mistake

1t Is well-known fact that Lydia
u. Pinlxham's Vegetable Compound
has cured more women than any other
remedy. 1t therefore must be the
best possible medicine for female ills.
But some women make the mistake
Of thinking that they will try some
thing else, simply because 1t Is new.
That mistake Is often fatal one
fatal to the health and happiness Of
the experimenter.
Is it not foolish to risk the possible
results of such experimental Is 1t not
better to depend upon o medicine
which has been tried successfully for
thirty years, and which has never
been found wanting? Do not therefore
let any one persuade you to try some
thing which they say Is just as good.
1t cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink
hams Compound IL the best, and there
can be only one best This Is not q
mere assertion, but Is o positive fact,
admitted by hundreds Of regular
physicians.
Rely on your own common sense,
and Mrs. Pinkham's lifelong expert
ence, and you will make no mistake.
Don't experiment with your health,
but take a medicine that you ksoz0 Ia
good, and Is backed by such letters as
these to Mrs. Pinkham:
