Secret of sartlon,s snecess.

yictorieB Sardou has lately attributed
his successes as dramatist to his hand
writing. with some seriousness he has
been telling his friends that, after having
tried many managers without success, he
finally sent LA Tsrelue des Etudiants"
to the Odeon theater Ia the hope that ii
iaight make some Impression there.
IL had been placed on a table along
with half dozen manuscripts from un-
known writer's that were to be returned
without being read. They were on table
In the room In which rhearssls were held,
snd by chance the glance OF Mile. Beren-
ger, bssutlfui actress 81 that day, fell
on the Pile OF manuscript. Thoughtfess-
ly she turned several of the pages over,
and her eyes fell on the beautifully
written pages of Sardou- work.
.what wonderful handwriting! "she
said.
Some OF { be actors VITA her glanced at the
writing So did the manager, and decided
to read the work which was so carefully
and clearly written. Tue result WAS that
the play was accepted and the writer
saved from the troubles which were inn
pending at that time. He is a millionaire
to-day, but he was very near starvation
then.
The moral OF this story for contempt
rary sspirauts loses some OF it's force from
the fact that all plays submitted are
usually t. pewritten. SO the least quail
fed beginner to-day is equal to Mr.. Sar-
dou In at least one respect. The new

A healthy man does not vary much
from year TO year in his weight.
This Is as it should be. Vinol enables
the organs of the body to renew flesh,
muscle tissue, bone structure, and at
tends to purifying the great vital cur
rent OF the human system, the blood.
Vinol contains the active curative
properties of Cod-Liver Oil in a highly
concentrated state. and Is the most
wonderful tonic that we have ever had
anything TO do with.

MIR. II. NJ. Stufell, who is a WELL
known passenger trainman on the
Boston and Maine Railroad, suffered,
as many railroad men do, with kidney
and other troubles. He writes as fol-
lows:
My kidneys troubled me great
deal, my bowels were very irregular,
had great distress in my stomach, suf-
fred with bilious headaches, had no
appetite, could not sleep nights, and
was losing flesh rapidly. | began to
take Vinol, / am now on my third bot
tie, and IL is doing wonders for me.
My kidneys are better, my bowels are
again regular, my stomach no longer
troubles me, and no more headaches,
and as for appetite, don't speak of 1t;
/ sleep like top and have gained
thirteen pounds. You can count on
me always to recommend Vinoi as the
king of medicines"
With many such testimonials as
the above coming before US, ii is not
strange that we endorse Vin0l as
strongly as we do. We unhesitat-
ingly agree TO return TO any one

satisfied that ii has accomplished all
that We claim for it every cent that
they have paid US for this remedy.

Flying Power of the Humrsiag BIRD.
The hummng bird flies as the Irish
man played the iddle-by main strength
the frigate bird relies on his skill in
taking advantage OF every varying cur
indicates great muscular power, while
that of the other shows its absence.
No other bird has such proportionately
great muscles as the humming bird. The
keel of the sternum, or breastbone, from
which these muscles arise, runs from one
end of the body to the other, while at
the same time it projects downward,
like the keel of a modern racing yacht
These muscles drive at the rate of sew
eral hundred strokes minute pair of
small, rigid wings, the outermost bones
Of which are very long. while the in
nermost are very short, feature calcu-
lated to give the greatest amount of mo-
ton at the tip of the wing with the least
movement of the bones of the upper arm.
to which the driving muscles are attach
ed.
Another peculiar feature is that the
outermost feathers, the flight feathers,
or primaries. are long and strong. while
the innermost, those attached to the
forearm, are few and weak. So far as
fight Is concerned, the bird could dis
pense with these secondaries and not feel
their loss. Finally. the heart, which we
may look upon as the boiler that supplies
steam for this machinery, is large and
powerful. as is necessary for such high
pressure engine as the little humming
bird.-Popular Science Monthly.
