A Devoted Mother,

Although looked upon as vermin and
destroyed accordingly, the weasel is
a good mother and probably treats her
young ones more kindly than many
of her human enemies treat theirs. A
weasel. carrying something in her
mouth. was once seen TO enter hole In
tree. The observer. applying lighted
straw. soon smoked her out. She then
darted toward stone wall. near which
She was attacked by terrier, which
speedily slew her. She fell an easier
victim because Of the burden she bore
in her teeth. Anxious to see what this
was, the Onlooker went forward and
found 1t was baby weasel. The moth
er's nest i'm a field close by had been
plowed up. and she had been searching
for another home. As her youngster
could not run she carried 1t in her
mouth rather than leave IL to perish.

international Cricket.

If there Is one thing which arouses
interest In cricket in the outsider, it is
an international match. In an interna-
tional match Ills patriotism is aroused,
and he roots for the home team against
the foreigners. Local cricketers are
therefore jubilant over the news that
Il. j. +. Bosanquets English team of
amateurs is to be seen here after all.
The dates Tor the match offered by the
Associated Cricket Clubs of Philadel
phia to the Metropolitan District Crick-
ct league placed the latter organization
in n position where 1t was necessary
to decline being financially responsible
for the game. The best the Philadel-
phians could do after taking all the
choice days for themselves was TO let
New York have Sept. % ana 2G. The
first Of these days Is the date set aside
for the international athletic contests
at Berkeley oval. and. of course. many
spectators who would otherwise be at
the cricket match will be at the ath-
letic games. With everything pointing
TO a deficit being encountered and with
out sufficient funds in the treasury to
provide for it, the league had no re-
course but 10 decline the game. The
KnickerbocEer 4. G.. however, has now
assumed the financial responsibility,
and the match will be played on their
ground at Bergen Point \. j., on the
days offered the league. The English
men have sailed from southampton.

The Man Faced Crab.

One of the most singular looking
creatures that ever walked the earth or
SWAN the water under the earth" is
the world famous man faced crab Of
Japan. Its body is hardly an inch in
length, yet the head is fitted with a
face which is the perfect counterpart
of that of a Chinese cody verita bic
missing link. with eyes. nose and
mouth all clearly defined. This curl
Gus and uncanny creature, besides the
great likeness 1t bears 10 human be-
ing in the matter of facial features, is
provided with two legs which seem to
grow from the top of its head and hang
down over the sides of its face. Be
sides these legs, two ''feelers," each
about an inch in length, grow from the
"chin" of the animal, looking for all the
world like colone's forked beard.
These man faced crabs fairly swarm
In the inland seas of Japan.

Antiquity OF the Water Pump.

The water pump Of today is but an
Improvement on a Grecian invention
which first came into use during the
reign Of Ptolemies Philadelphos and
Energetes. 2S3 10 221 Il. G. The name
which is very similar in all languages
Is derived from the Greek word pempo
to send or throw. The most ancient de-
scription we have of water pump Is
by Hero of Alexandria. There Is nc
authentic account of the general use OF
the pump in Germany previous to the
beginning of the sixteenth century
At about that time the endless chain
and bucket works for raising water
from mines began to be replaced by
pumps.
In the seventeenth century rotating
pumps. like the Pappenham engine,
with two pistons. and the Prince Ru-
pert. with one. were first used. Pumps
with plunger plstons were invented by
Morland, an Engllshman, in 1914. and
the double acting pump by De la Hire,
the French academician.

ARRANGEMENTS MADE.
4 Deal Closed that will Benefit
Everyone In this Town.
Hereafter We viii be Sole Repre-
SentatIves Of vInoI.

vinol Is attracting attention In every
large city In the country.
The best druggists in every place rep
resents VINOL.
They do this because they have inves-
tigated and become convinced of its mer-
its. 1t Is this that has led us TO get the
agency for this town.
We are happy to announce that We
have succeeded in our endeavors.
We were told that no proprietary med
icine has ever been so popular as VI
MOL. We have learned that the reason
for this is because VIN0L is really an
old remedy, produced In a new form,
and is now altogether delicious and
doubly potent
Vinol is a scientific tonic reconstructor
comprised of the curative principles OF
cod liver oil and little organic iron dis
solved in delicious table wine. That is
all no oil no grease = no disagreeable
features, but all the medicinal virtues OF
cod liver oil and more.
There is no one living who will dis
pute the merits of cod liver oil as re-
builder of the human system.
The trouble before has been that but
few people could take cod liver oil on
account of its obnoxious taste and ter
rible odor.
With Vinol, however, everything Is
changed. You will get every bit of the
good that was ever found in cod liver
oil and, best of all, you will get this good
withouta particle of grease to help re-
tard its action.
The way VINOL accomplishes its mis-
sion is better than it was ever possible
for cod liver oil to bring about the same
results. This is because the elements
needed are now in more highly concen-
trated form.
We are sure that all our customers
will like VINOL very much and we an
ticipate large and permanent sale for
It.
We also ascertained and wish every
one else to realize the fact, that VINOL
Is not a patent medicine. 1t is simply
new way of administering the curative
elements of cod liver oil.
We want all who are sick to call and
let us tell them about VINOL, we want
to convince our patrons that we have
been working in their behalf as we'll as
In our own, and we hope that everyone
of our fellow townspeople will appre-
ciate our enterprise in procuring the
agency for this popular medicine and OF
being the means of bringing VINOL
here. We are glad we are going to rep
resent VINOL; to do this has caused
much rivalry in the large cities between
the best druggists, for only to the best
druggists in each place has this agency
been awarded.
If anyone buying Vinol of us is not
satisfied that it does all we claim, we
will refund the money that they have
paid us. VINOL is always sold under
this guarantee.
