origin o; tho silver wedding.

The first silver wedding dates back
to the time OF Hugh Capet of France.
Two servants had grown gray in his
service, a man and woman, and what
could he give them as reward? Call
ing the woman, he said: Your service
is great, greater than this mans,
whose service is great enough, for the
woman always finds work harder than
man. and, therefore, | will give you
e reward At your age, know of none
better than dowry and husband.
The dowry is here-this farm from
this time forth belongs to you If this
man, who has worked with you five
and twenty years, is willing to marry
you, then the husband 10 ready"
Your majesty" said the old servant,
how is 1t possible that we should
marry, having already silver hairs?"
Then it shall be a silver wedding"
and the king gave the couple silver
enough to keep them in plenty. This
soon became known all over France.
and 1t became a fashion after twenty
five years of married life to celebrate
a silver wedding.

Some time ago we told of man
who accidentally caught tiger with
a hook and line, and now VIC have to
tell of n man who purposely caught a
grouse in the same way. He had been
hunting all the afternoon without sue
cess, and. becoming disgusted at the
poor luck. put away his gun and
started out in the afternoon with fish
ing tackle. While fishing he saw a
grouse in the grass on the bank OF the
stream, and, batting his hook with u
grasshopper, made a cast to the bird.
Like a fish, the grouse swallowed the
bait, hook and all, and started to fly
OFF. But he was held fast and the
fisher bagged his queer game.-Atlan-

The Native, Obi. Ct.

The United States authorities in
Porto Rico are witnessing now the un,
pleasant sequel Of charity-the unwill-
inguess of those on whom II has been
bestowed to go back to work. Last
August frightful hurricane swept the
island and deprived the majority of
the inhabitants Of their food resources
There was nothing to do but feed
them or let them stGrvo. Public and
private charity came to their relief.
The policy Of feeding them until they
were able TO plant and gather new
crops was adopted unhesitatingly. 1t
was assumed that by the beginning of
this year it would be possible to stop
issuing rations. But when that time
came it was found impossible to stop
entirely. An aggregate of 100000 ra-
tions daily is yet being issued. 1t
has been decided to quit this business
entirely before the close of the month.
but the natives are making loud OBJ
jections.

He who wishes may find out the
exact age of an oyster, though he has
not the telltale evidence in teeth
The lines in the groove of the hinge
of the shell tell the whole story, each
line representing year. An oyster
is of age at four years; that is. he IL
old enough to vote, take care Of a fam
lily, and go to market, Going to mar
ket is a disastrous undertaking, for a
four-year-old oyster is particularly
palatable. BY this 1t must not be
supposed that after an oyster has
passed the four-layer period and has
five, six, or even ten wrinkles on his
shell he is a back number. Indeed,
there are records of oysters being
eaten just after celebrating their thir-
tieth birthday, and in most cases they
formed delicious meal. Thirty Is
an unusual age for an oyster TO attain,
because few are given an opportunity
to live so long. If left 10 enjoy life
in his own way, II is quite probable
that the oyster would become an oc-
togenarian or even centenarian.-

mounted an upright thirty horse pow
er boiler and pair of engines. BY
means OF sprocket chain connection
between the engine shaft and car axle
the car Is made sclf-propelling. After
some experience it was found neces-
sary to connect the second axle OF the
truck with the first, or that driven by
the engine, by means OF a sprocket
chain, in order to overcome slipping
due to the looping OF long weeds over
the rails. BY this means of locomo-
ton a speed OF from ten to twelve
miles per hour is easily made, as
when running for stations to meet
passing trains. The water supply for
the boiler and for extinguishng fires,
which may be set accidentally, is car
ried in a wooden tank in the center
OF the car. On top of this tank there
are two air reservoirs. and inside OF
the forward cab there are two air
pumps for creating the air pressure
necessary to spray the oil into the
burners. The burner rigging is sus-
pended from a rear platform, built
upon four Trails. The shield and
burners are hung from the outer end
of this platform upon bell cranks, and
an old reverse lever and quadrant are
used to adjust the burners to the de-
sired height from tho rail. The burn
ers are easily taken down when 1t is
desired to couple the car in with n

You will never find our Doc
tor out. He is here to give
advice without charge to those
who need him to those who
don't, sometimes. He doesn't
always recommend the Aver
medicines, because the Aver
medicines are not "cure-alls."
Perhaps if we tear a Leaf
from his correspondence it will
show you what we mean. Here
is a letter which came last
March.
"DRAR DR. AVER:
want your advice for my little boy.
He is getting very thin. lie has no appe.
tite. He is fifteen years old. When he
was four years old he had lung fever, but
his health was good until two years ago
Since then he is failing fast. The doctors
here say he has the bronchitis. lie spits
all the time awful bad. The spits are big,
thick, and white. Yours truly,
Mrs. MARGARET MURPHY,
March 80, 1900 kinbrae, MINI"
And this is the way the Doc
tor answered Mrs. Murphy:
"DEAR MADAM.
ave enclose our book on The Throat
and Lungs, in which we trust you will find
just the information you desire.
"You should begin at once the use OF
this Cherry Pectoral for your son, giving
it in moderate doses. Then procure some
good preparation Of cod.liver oil, az
Scotts Emulsion, and give him that, as
well. Pay particular attention to his diet,
giving him such nourishing foods as rarc
steak, lamb chops, good milk. eggs, etc.
Above all, keep him out of doors all that
the weather permits. There is nothing
that will do him more good than plenty of
fresh air. Let him live out of doors all
that is possible. BY carrying out these
general suggestions We shall hope to hear
soon that your son is improving in every
way Very truly yours,
April 5, 1900. J. c. AVER"
You see, it wasn't only the
Aver medicines that we recon-
mended. The first idea of the
Doctor was to cure that boy.
The result is told in this letter:
DEAR DR.. AVER:
MY little boy has improved so much
since received your advice that want to
write and tell you how thankful am.
"When | first wrote YOU, on Marck
5o he only weighed 50 pounds, but now
ne weighs Sc pounds and all this gain
since the Sth OF April, when first began
70 follow your directions.
q" Please let me thank you again for what
you have done for my boy.
July y, 1900. MARGARET MURPHY"
Perhaps it was the cod
liver oil; perhaps it was the
Cherry Pectoral. Probably it
was both. But, more than
either, it was the good, sound
advice the Doctor gave in the
first place. We are here to
serve you in just the same way,
and we will tell you the medi-
cine for your case or tell you
what medicines TO avoid.
Five out of ten of our cor
respondents need a doctor
rather than a prepared medi-
cine, and we tell them so. If
the doctors only knew it, we
are working with them every
day.
