which, together with the severe heat,
gave him very severe diarrhoea, which
It seemed almost impossible to check,

dose was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground In great agony, and
In few minutes the dose was repeated.
The good effect Of the medicine was
soon noticed and within an hour The
patient WAS taking bis first sound sleep
for a fortnight. That one little bottle
worked q complete cure, and he cannot
help but feel grateful. The season for

Creat Possibilities of the Future.

it is even more arid, and yet, along its
only river the Nile, 100000 acres are
under cultivation and this area is be-
ing greatly augmented by the compile
ton of the great dam at Assouan, built
by the British Government. Along the
Rio Grande, the Nile of New Mexico,
only 100000 acres are under cultiva-
ton, counting in the irrigated land
along the tributary to the Rio Grande,
or only one-twenty- of the area
under cultivation along the Nile. This
will give an idea of the magnitude OF
the possible development of New Next

WHERE WE GET MUSK.

From the Muskdeer.

Articles of Commerce Is Obtained
From the Muskdeer.
Musk In the raw looks a good deal
like axle grease, and smells worse
The popular notion that the musk OF
commerce is obtained from the musk
rat is a mistake. A somewhat similar
perfume may be obtained from the
muskrat, but most of the supply comes
from the muskdeer, creature that is
cafefully reared in India for the sake
Of the secretion. The secretion is
shipped in the crude state, and is
used not only in the manufacture OF
the liquid perfume sold as musk, but
also in very small quantities to give
strength and staying power to many
perfumes made from the essential Oh,
Of flowers.
Curiously enough, the blossoms OF
two native plants have a noticeably
musky odor One is the well-known
small yellow blossom. It's odor is
marked, and is counterfeited in the
commercial perfume called musk. The
other is the bloodroot.
The pure white blossom Of that
early spring plant has distinct
though delicate musky odor. A bean
known as the musk bean is a cheap
substitute for animal musk.-LondoD

His Unique Method of Calling Atten'

Rudyard Kipling once visited the
late Cecil Rhodes at Lekkerwijn, one
IF his fruit farms at Paarl, South Al
rica. One morning Rhodes went
around his farm before breakfast
eaving his guest, who was not SO en-.
srgetic, behind. Time went on ana
Rhodes did not appear. Hunger soon
'oused Kipling to action and in a snort
While he was very busy on his own
recount. AS Rhodes returned ne

ruit In the shape Of placards inscribed
huge black letters with Famine"
We are starving!" Feed us!" etc.
On reaching the front door he was con-
ronted with the following, In still
anger type: "for the human race
Breakfast tones the mind, invigorates
he body. 1t has sustained thousands;
will sustain you. See that you get
t." Then, in the house, on every
AVAILABLE wall, he came across other
mysterious placards in more and more
pathetic appeal: "Why die when
little breakfast prolongs life?" Larger
and larger grew the type: 1T is late;
it is still later" leading at last into
The little breakfast room, where he
found Kipling reading his paper In
peaceful innocence but very hungry.

Latest Fad in Buttons.

The woman who can embroider has
the advantage over her sister who is
not handy with the needle. TO give
smart touch to her shirt waists she
can embroider buttons for trimming,
to take the place Of hand-painted sets
whose place they have usurped.
A pretty idea for white silk or
wool waist is to have buttons to match
embroidered in violets or forget-me
nots. To accomplish this, have a
square of the waist material stamped
then stretch it across the embroidery
frame and proceed to embroider each
flower separately. The tailor who is
to cover the buttons will doubtless
prefer to cut the flowers out himself
so that there will be plenty Of mar
gin.
