A SWIFT DESCENT.
Sliding Down Into n Salt Mine on n
Leather Apron

Lillian Bell in Woman's Home Compan-
ion tells of Salzburg and of visit to a
salt mine. How the descent into the salt
mine was made she tells as follows:
"Our costume consisted of white duck
trousers. clean but stil damp from recent
washing, a thick leather apron, a short
duck blouse something like those worn
by bakers and n cap. The trousers, be-
ing all the same size and the same length,
came to Bees ankles. were knickcrbock-
ers for me and tights for Mrs Jimmie.
zone rather incomprchcnSibe thing
struck us before we left the attiring
room. This was the use of the leather
apron. The attendant switched it around
in the back and tied it firmly in place,
and when we demanded to know the rca-
son she said in German, 1t is for the
swift descent
Jimmie was similarly arrayed when he
met us at the door, but he seemed TO
know no more about ii than we did. At
the mouth of the salt mine we were met
by our conductor who took us along a
dark passage, where all the lights fur
nishpd We're those from the covered can
dies fastened to our belts something on
the order Of the miners lamp. Presently
we came to the mouth Of something that
evidently led down somewhere Blindly
following our guide. who sat astridc of

astrido of the guides back. Mrs Jimmie,

A CIaret Drinking city,

"Ncw Orleans is the greatest clarct
drinking city in the world" says COS
sipcr in the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat. at consumes more than san Fran
cisco and Chicago put together. You will
find no other place in the country where
small corner grocery stores order red
wine in lots of from 10 to - barrels at a
time, yet such a purchase is an everyday
incident here in New Orleans.
What is known as the family trade
Of these humble establishments would
amaze grocers elsewhere. There is a CON
tinual struggling procession of children
and colored servants with pitchers and
buckets to be filed with clarct. exactly
as beer is bought in northern cities. The
sight is so common that it attracts no at
tention. but it seems very strange to an
outsider.
Thousands of people here drink wine
at breakfast. something almost unheard
Of anywhere else, and this is the only city
know of whPre it is commonly called for

MEN WHO WAIT.


The difference between the masculine
disposition before and after marriage was
forcbly illustrated yesterday in one Of
our large shops. where two Of the lords of
creation waited for dilatory women with
whom they had appointments
Both had chosen point of vantage at
the silk counter, where they could see cy-
cry one who entered, and from 1855 to
1910 after Mr. Married Man-eYcry on
locker knew he was married by his i'm
patience-looked at his watch on an aver
age of twice a minute and guawed his
mustGchc continuously and so savagcly
that the salcSwomen in his immediate vi
entity edged away and watched events
curiously.
At ten minutes after the noon hour the
situation was relieved by the appearance
on the scene of a pretty little woman, a
flushed and hurried little woman, who
eyed her liege lord askance as she APP
preached.
I'm sorry I'm a few minutes late,
Jack" she said, but that dreadful tailor
wouldn't let me 90 until he'd basted the
last seam to his satisfaction"
I'm sorry also" responded her COM
panion coldly, "for your hardness will
necessitate my going without my lunch
con. This is the last appointment I'll
ever make with you" And away they
went together, milady looking injured
and MILFORD majestically offended, though,
come to think of it, 10 minutes isn't such

In France Napoleon used to be known
not as general or consul or emperor but
as THE Man" M'Hommc). In his CON
verSation he never forgot his greatness
or allowed others to forget it, Had |

put an end to me there. To die at Boro-
dino would have been to die like Alexan-

been a good death perhaps Dresden

On the emperor's coffin plate his fol-
lowers desired to place the simple in
scription, Napoleon" with the date and
place of his birth and death. Sir Hudson
refused to sanction this unless Bona

the style which their master had declined
to accept So there was no name on the
coffin. 1t seems Incredible but it is true.

And this was but a type of the chiyal-

him to lead her to the altar in April,

FOXES THAT EAT GRAPES.
Some Animals EVincc Fondncss
For Fruit ana Nuts.


1t is wen known that several species of
the dog family in North America to some
extent feed on fIn,;t The domestic dog
IN of course accustomed to mixed diet,
IN which flesh constitutes only small
part. We have seen many dogs that
would eat apples and others that would
swallow down grapes as fast as they
were offered to them. Domestic animals,
however, have perverted tastes and offer
no sure guide as to what wild animals
will do.
On the northwest coast we have seen
the droppings of gray or timber wolf
which were composed almost entirely of
the seeds OF the salmon berry, while it is
well known that the coyotes of the south
west feed to a very considerable extent
on the fruit Of the prickly pear. The
foxes of Alaska and the northwest coast
feed almost entirely on the wash of the
beach, which consists largely of fish and
shellish. Our own red fox in times of
scarcity eats fish, crabs. shcllfish. eggs
and even insects. The South American
guara lives largely on fruit and roots, as
does also the so called raccoon dog of
Japan. The African fcnncc, which is a
FOX, IS fond of dates and is said to be
able to climb the date palm in order to
obtain the fruit. There is a crab eating
dog in South America. which may be as
Sumcd to take its name from the food it
lives on. In general terms, it may be
stated IT the doglike animals of south
ern cot .es appear more disposed to
adopt a gctable diet than those nhabit-
ing the nth.
The fn habits of the raccoons and of
the bears are well understood to be ON
nivorous, and beechnuts are said some
times to be eaten by the fisher or black
cat tMustcla pennantiD.
The gray fox is more given to eating
vegetable food than the commoner red
fox of the north, although fruit is some
times eaten by that Species 1t is said
that occasionally the gray fox tears down
the cornStalks and feeds on the corn in
the milk. That a knowledge of the fruit
eating habits of foxes is old is shown by
this quotation, attributed To him whose
name has become as provcrb for wis
dom: Take us the foxes. the little foxes
that spoil the vines; for our vines have
tender grapes"
The fox grapes Of eastern America,
however, 50 familiar to every country
dwellcr, arc believed TO have received
their name not from the fact that they
are eaten by foxes to any extent, nor
from the further fact that they hang
high and SO are inaccessible. hut from the

What splendid type of tireless activity
is the sun as the psamist describes it issu-
ing like the bridegroom from his chamber
and rejoicing like strong man to run a
race" Every man ought to rise in the
morning refreshed by slumber and renew
ed by rest, eager for the struggle of the
day. But how rarely this is so. Most
people rise still unrefreshed, and dreadng
the strian of the days labors. The cause
Of this is deficient vitality and behind this
lies deficient supply of pure, rich blood,
and an inadequate nourishment of the
body. There is nothing that will give a
man strength and energy, as will DR.,
PIerce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
does this by increasing the quantity and
quality of the blood supply. This nour-
ishes the nerves, feeds the brain, builds
up enteebled organs, and gives that
sense Of strength and power which
makes the struggle of life a Joy. The
good feeling which follows the use
Of Golden Medical Discovery is not due
to stimulation as it contains no alcohol,
whisky or other intoxicant 1t does not
brace up the body, but builds it up into
IA condition of sound health.

it will speedily win its way into public
favor.
