Persons who suffer from indigestion

Persons who suffer from indigestion
cannot expect to live long, because
they cannot eat the food required to
nourish the body, and the products of
the undigested foods they do eat poi
son the blood. 1t is important to cure
indigestion as soon as possible, and the
best method of doing this is to use the
preparation known as Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. 1t digests what you eat and re-
stores all the digestive organs to per-
feet health. Grant Holden.

1t was a warm summer night near
the middle of the last beat of the po-
licemen on the four sides of the green
rectangle of Madison Square park.
Suddenly into the dead calm a shrill
cry projected itself:
Help! Help. Murder! Policer'
Into the park rushed the police, says
the New York Times, the leather
thongs ON their night sticks In place for
blow striking.
They're killing me! Quick! Quickp
spurred ON their footballs.
The policemen made a systematic
search Of the green area, ending finally
In the center. The same voice called
with a hooking cadence:
Rubber! Rubber! Rubberneck"
Slowly and warily the four converg-
ed on a bench a little to the south Of
the center, which seemed the course of
the voice. With an affectionate pro-
longation of each syllable there came
In Boston accents:
"Rubbah! Rubbah! Rubbahv'
From the branches of the maple over
head hoarse chuckling came.
Polly wants a crackerp wheedling
voice gently intimated.
That was his introduction to the
park. 1t Is not known from whose cage
the green parrot escaped, but there be
was In the park, and his presence led
to many an amusing experience after
his first nights fun with the policemen.

An Irishman's Ruse.

In the pioneer days of Victoria. B. c..
a Hibernian drayman, whose property
abutted on to that of merchant, was
very much Disguised to find that the
merchants chickens were constantly
in his little garden patch and would
root up his flowers and vegetables.
Appeals to the merchant. who was
patron Of the drayman, were of no
avail, so the following ruse was adopt
ed:
Our friend from the EmeSald Isle
purchased some eggs and placed them
here and there In his garden. He then
awaited the merchants wife, who
would call the chickens to feed them,
and in full view Of the lady picked up
the eggs and put them in his hat.
The lady asked Mike what he was
doing.
"Oh, getting a few eggs for my
breakfast" said he.
WELL" said the lady, you have no
chickens. The eggs are mine"
"Oh, sure are they, mum. Then what
do they do in my garden? Anything
on my premises Is my own"
After this the fence was made chick
en- proof, and Mike had no more trou-
ble.-London Tit-Bits.

Producing the Bacon HOG.

The cost of producing bacon hogs is
figured out by William Parkinson of
Ontario at '2A to 2ia cents per pound
for hogs weighing 200 pounds live
weight Mr.. Parkinson has fed over
1000 hogs In the last ten years and
keeps a close account of the cost Of
producing them. Taking pen of ten
pigs weeks old on May 1, he figures
their cost at 81 each. In addition to
skimmilk to be fed the first three or
four months they would require 800
pounds OF cornmeal at so cents per
100 pounds and one ton of wheat bran
at S12 per ton. This would bring the
total cost OF the pigs to S46.S0, and on
Oct 1 they ought to weigh 200 pounds
each.
He sold lot last year at that time
for Al cents per pound live weight.
making the sum received $S5 and leav-
Ing a profit of $3.50. Being a dairy
farmer and having an abundance of
buttermilk which could not be disposed
Of otherwise, 1t was fed to the hogs and
no value was set on 1t. Many years
experience has shown him that the
cost Of producing these hogs does not
exceed 21a cents per pound for the
grain food given them.

Soak a piece of thread in strong salt
water, dry it and repeat two or three
times. When thoroughly dry, tie one
end to a chandelier and on the other or
lower end tie a ring or some small but
not too heavy article.
1t is now ready for the experiment.
Set fire to the thread, and behold the
ring does not fall to the floor, nor does
the thread break.
The explanation is: The thread has In
reality been burned, but the salt with
which the thread was saturated forms
a solid column, and that supports the
ring. Varied experiments can be made,
using several threads for one article
and, in fact, many others which may
suggest themselves to the readers.

MUSIC AND THE TIGER.
Surprising Results of an Experiment
at the London Zoo.


A student OF animal habits made
some experiments with music at the
London zoo. Here is his account Of the
effect on tiger:
The violin player approached sleep
Ing tiger, which was lying on Its side,
with feet stretched, touching the cage
bars. He played 50 softly that the
opening notes were scarcely audible.
AS the sound rose the tiger woke and,
raising its head without moving Its
body, looked for some time with txed
for some time In very fine attitude,
listening to the music. and then, max
Ing the curious sound that In tiger Ian
guage does duty for ''purring," 1t lay
down again and dozed. The soft music
was played on, while the great beast
lay as II lulled to sleep.
The violin was then put aside for the
piccolo. Judge OF our surprise when at
| the first notes of the new instrument
the tiger sprang to Its feet and rushed
| up and down the cage. shaking Its head
and ears and flashing Its tail from side
to side. As the notes became still loud
er and more piercing the tiger bounded
across the cage, reared on Its hind feet
and exhibited the most ludicrous con-
trast to the calm dignity and repose
with which 1t had listened to the violin.
| Then came the final and most sue
cessful experiment. The piccolo was
stopped and very soft air played
upon the flute. The difference In effect
| was seen at once. The tiger ceased to
rampage" and the leaps subsidized to a
| gentle walk until the animal came to
the bars and. standing still and quiet
once more, listened with pleasure to
the music.
There are many men," the student
remarks on summing up his expert
ments in music at the zoo, there are
perhaps many races of men, who could
not detect discord and would be alike
Indifferent to harmony and its oppo-
site. Yet among the brutes on which
the experiments were tried the sudden
start of displeasure at discord was
general from the snakes to the African
elephant"

When Henry s. Watson, the illustrat-

much about European travel He had
to make some sketches In the villages
about Naples. and his experiences have
filled him with wonder enough for a
lifetime. His deft pencil helped him a
bit. At one little village inn he tried
to get 1t through the landlords head
that he was to be called early in the
morning. He couldn't make himself
understood. At last he drew picture
of himself lying In bed. the sun peep
ing through the window, the clock at
the hour OF 6 and the chambermaid
knocking at the door. Then II was
quite plain, and they woke him on the
tick.-Saturday Evening Post.
