Polly was brought daily Into the laboratory and soon learn ed to name . cupboard" and ladder and to say ''climb" when her master went up the latter. The reward of correctness was the opening of the cupboard to all low the bird to help herself to hempseed therein. One day.. when Polly was brought in. the cupboard was near the ceiling and the ladder stood with other articles in corner. the purpose being to test her ability to put together the words she knew. The experiment was a failure, The next day Polly, in a furious temper, struggled to break from her cage. but at last espied the cupboard near the ceiling. when she instantly exclaimed,

 A new variable star, which has been under observation at the Potsdam Ob- servatory for more than year, proves to be of extraordinary interest on &C., count of its short period its cycle of light changes being completed in four hours--more than three hours less than that of any other known star. The mag nitude varies from S.5S to 7.9, and it is supposed that the changes must he due to the revolution of two bright bodies at short distance around their centre of gravity. Some of the 800 asteroids so laborious,y touno within the last century are liable
 to become lost Prof. E. s. Pickering points out that sixty-eight of them have
 not been observed within five years. while about twenty-five have escaped notice

 Comets shed portion of their tails, Prof. Lewis Swift tells us, and, as they have been doing this since creation, the probable result Is a ring of nebuious mat ter surrounding the .,arth and possibly extending to Neptu1e's orbit. Reflection of sunlight from these cast off tails of | comets Is Professor Swift's explanation of the zodiacal light. This light, which
 is just beginning to attract serious at- tention of astronomers, is faint glow
 seen in the West after unset and in the East before sunrise,- and it takes the | form of a cone 25 degrees wide at the
 base and often extending nearly to the
 zenith.

NOT RECOMMENDED
 FOR EVERYTHING But if You Have Kidney, Liver or Bladder Troubls You Will Find the Great Remedy Swamp
 Root, Just What You Need.

It used to be considered that only urin- ary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys. but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs.
 Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order. you can understand how quickly your entire body Is affected. and how every organ seems to fail to do it's duty.
 If you are sick or "feel badly" begin taking the famous new discovery, Dr. kilmer's Swamp Root. because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone.
 DeeieFs Prescribe Swamp. Root.
 Gentlemen:-'T have prescribed that wonderful remedy for kidney and bladder complaints. Dr. Kilmerfs Swamp Root, with most beneficial effect and know of many cures by it's use. These patients had kidney trouble, as diagnosed by oth- CT physicians, and treated without bene- ht. pr. Kilmer's Swamp-R Root effected c cure. I am a liberal man and accept e specific wherever find 1t. in an accepted school or out of 1t.

HINTS TO BRIDEGRoOMs.

Every bride is deluged with advice
about how to enter the church, how to
stand and kneel, and what to wear,
but nobody ever thinks of offering
word of helpful counsel to the bride
groom, who is left to founder through
the ceremony as best he may.
This is not only cruel, it is unjust,
for. while girl begins to prepare for
marriage in the cradle, it always takes
man by surprise. 1t is like death
He knows it is on the cards, but he
cherishes an uniformed hope that he
may escape the universal doom.
Nothing short of inspiration can de-
wise a remedy for stage fright or get
ting a man gracefully through a mar
riage ceremony, but there are a few
simpl rules that may be help in time
Of trouble to the prospective bride
groom.
Don't have a frozen grin on your face
that looks as if it might melt and run
down on your collar. Neither sport q
stern, Napoleonic air as if you were de-
termined to see the thing through or
die. A happy medium of chastened
serenity and joy is always the best.
Try to throw some enthusiasm into
your responses. Most men make them
III d tone OIL voice lndI indicates their
belief that they are signing their own
death warrant.
Don't become excited. Keep your
eyes in front of you. Look neither to
the right nor the left; otherwise YOU
are as liable to marry the bridesmaid
or the best man as not
Engage a detective for best man, so
that he will be able to locate the weo-
ding ring after you have gone through
your pockets six times in vain effort
to find it. Tell him beforehand juss
where it will be, and with this clew he
may be able to work up the case IN
time to save you from disgrace.
Finally, let your sufferings teach you
to live a better life.
