eye as the Midway is entered is Little Queen, the midget horse. together with the largest man on exhibition. The two stand side by side in a typical Midway booth, and the contrast Is extraordinary-the horse weighs only 42 pounds, while it's human companion tips the scales at TAO pounds. This little animal Is an East India dwarf, Is four years old and considered one of the greatest curiosities ever seen in Birming- ham. Little Queen has been exhibited in all of the largest cities of the world, and never falls to create interest among the thousands who witness the daily perfor- mances given. This little animal can be found just to the left on entering the big Midway.

To Keep Bread Moist.

Once in while useful hint for the
housekeeper comes from the man of the
family. The man who smokes meer-
schaum pipe was observed putting slice
of apple into his box Of tobacco to keep it
from becoming too dry. Even potato, he
said would do. That led to the rediscov
cry of an old idea. Cake or bread may
be kept moist and delicious for compar-
atively long time by putting piece Of raw
apple OF potato into the box in which it is
kept.

WE ARE NOT DEAD.

.You think am dead
The apple tree said,
Because have never leaf TO show,
Because stoop
And my branches droop.
And the dull gray MOSES over me grow
But Pm alive in trunk and shoot;
The buds of next May
I fold away,
But I pity the withered grass at my root
You think am dead,
The quick grass said,
Because have parted with stem and bladei
But under the ground
am safe and sound,
With the SHOWS thick blanket over me laid.
I'm all alive and ready to shoot,
Should the spring of the year
Come dancing here;
But pity the flower without branch or root
" You think am dead,
A soft voice said,
Because not branch or root own
have never died,
INT close hide
iu plumy seed that the wind has sown.
Fasieut wait through the long winter hours;
You will see me again
shall laugh at you then.
Out of the eyes of hundred flowers" ="

For evil smells of all kinds there is a
remedy which hesitate to mention except
with bated breath, but so efficacious is it
that can but advise my readers to try it.
Cut two or three large onions in quarters
and put them in saucers on the floor and
on any high shelf in the room under treat
ment This applies to invalids' bedrooms,
etc. The onions must be renewed every
six hours. This simple process is not az.
all modern, for the Greeks, as well as the
chevaliers Of the Middle Ages, held onions
in great respect owing to their hygienic
properties. Onions were, moreover, used
as preventive in times of plague and
other epidemics.
