UNIQUE Temples.

Mayalipuram, India, is graced With
seven of the most remarkable temples
in the world, each of these unique
places of worship having been fash
ioned from solid granite boulders. The
"Heyasa-Goda -Cla," the largest OF the
seven, is three and half stories high,
it's outlines resembling those Of an At
lantic steamship. The inside of the
boulder has been chiseled away until
the walls do not exceed eight inches
in thickness. The two floors above
that of the foundation are each about
a foot in thickness, and seem as solid as
the rock of ages. The upper stories
are reached by spiral stairway, carved
from the same piece of granite.

Ii the flowers in your window box
seem blasted. or are of a faded, sickly
color, cover the earth around the roots
about half an inch deep. with pnlver-
ized charcoal. The roses that blossom
in the next few days will have a fine,
lively rose color. Charcoal always
gives great vigor to the red or violet
colors of flowers. White petunias be.

violets become covered with irregular
spots OF blush or almost black tint,
but yellow flowers are insensible to its
influence.

A Question of Color.

A young clerk at the Oliver-Finnie
Grocery Company received a slight
scratch the other day, and the manager
called out to the negro who does chores
around the store to go and get some
f1esh-colored court plaster.
The negro started off down the streed
at lively pace, but in few minutes
he came back with about three times
the amount of speed he used in his de
parture, and, running breath1essly up
to the manager, asked: "Do you want
white or black flesh colored ?"-Mem-
phis Scimitar.

An ingenious table intended for the
use of invalids who are confined to the
bed, has been devised. 1t is SO arrang-
ed that it can be raised or lowered,
and can be increased or decreased in
diameter, to overlap the side of the
bed. By pressing knob it can be con-
verted into reading-desk, and spring
clips are provided for holding the ,ead-
ing matter in position. The mechan-
ism of this table, is SO easily worked
that an inavlid can operate it without
assistance.

why Certain Metals Cannot Be Cast

Why Certain Metals Cannot Be Cast.
As is we'll known, some metals are
unsuitable for casting, while Others,
like iron, can readily be cast in any
desired shape. The property of casting
well is said to depend upon whether
the metal contracts or ex xpands On So
lidlfying from the liquid form. Iron,
like water, expands in solidifying, and
hence the solid metal may be seen
floating in the liquid iron about it.
Gold and silver contract in cooling,
and therefore, are not suitable for cast
ing

polluted and the system thoroughly con-
tan1inated by this deadly virulent poison.
Then sore or ulcer appears on some
part of the body; it may be small and
harmless looking at first, but as the cam
cerous cells form and are deposited by
the blood near the sore, it increases in
size and severity, with sharp shooting
pains. No matter how often the sore is
removed by the surgeons knife or flesh
destroying plasters, another comes and is
worse. The real disease is in the blood,
and the treatment must begin there. The
poisoned blood must be invigorated and
purified, and when this is done cancerous
cells can no longer form and the sore will
heal naturally and permanently.
