Morality Versus intellectually.

AS" man grows older he perceives
that the moral qualities are worth a
good deal more in friendship than the
intellectual qualities and that no bril-
liancy of mind, no charm of converse
ton, can make up for lack of loyalty,
charity and generosity in social inter
course. Young men Of brains are dis
posed to value mainly mental power
in other people, and it is human
quality to forgive much in men and
women of genius. This is false ap-
probation of the respective values of
mentality and the moral qualities. The
time comes when a man learns that
unselishness and affection are better
in wife or friend than intellectual pow
er accompanied by intense self love.

Questions Answered

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors
we're scarce, and they seldom heard of
Appendicitis, Nervous Prostitution or
Heart Failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the system
and that is all that they took when feel
ing dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid form
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can
get this reliable remedy at all druggists.

Human Breath and Bees.

Bees are revived by human breath,
even when apparently dead. An old
writer on the subject describes how,
during a very wet May, he discovered
a hive which had been working we'll
previously whose tenants seemed to be
dead, but by putting few of them
into his hand and breathing upon them
for several minutes he at last observed
some motion at the second joint of
their horns. BY persevering he re-
vived them all. and they became the
best hive in his garden. He is, how
ever, careful to remark that those who
use pOmatum, perfume or hair powder
should not make too free with the in
sects during the process of restoration.
The secret, of course-though at one
time the thing was regarded as mirac-
ulous-is in the warmth conveyed; but,
besides this. there is no doubt that bees
are reused by human breath, to which
they have such an antipathy that they
are much more easily handled if the
operator draws his breath gently and
takes care not to direct it against them.

The RhOdum SiGus.

scribes how a country nurseryman
made q large sum out of sales of a

der the name Of the Rhodum sidus. This
charming name proved quite an at
traction to the ladies, and the flower
one of those freaks of fashion for which
there is no accounting. At length a
botanist who found that the plant was
not an uncommon weed requested to
know where the nurseryman got the
name from. He elected the following
beside us, so christened it the Rhodum
sidus.

The Foam on Soda Water.

Foam is a natural product, being
caused by the escape of air or gas from
q viscid liquid. In the case of soda
water it is the escape of the carbonic
acid gas from the sweetened beverage
that causes the attractive sparkling
appearance, but the sweetened water
alone would give rise to but a small
quantity of foam, as the gas would
too easily escape. In order to prevent
this some mucilaginous substance is
usually added to the strip, which rem
ders the mass more viscous, so prevent
ing the gas from escaping and produc-
ing the attractive head of foam SO

Animals In Alcohol.

nj. Grobaut, professor of physiology
in Paris, in describing the effect of al
cohol upon animals says that the sue
cessive stages of intoxication through
which they pass are gayety, sadness,
solemnity and supreme intoxication
which ends in death. Rabbits are very
curious when under the influence of
liquor, and drunken kangaroo is bru-
tally aggressive.

A State That RreatheS.

If ever state might be said to
breathe, that state is California. 1t has
a agnificent lung action, says the Sun
set Magazine. Deep and long drawn are
the breaths of ocean air taken by the
great valleys. And you can almost see
this breathing if you will go to the top
of any of the hills bordering the bay of
San Francisco. In general, air move
ment or wind is initiated by difference
of temperature. Therefore on summer
afternoons while the broad ocean lies
TRANQUILITY sleeping at temperature of
IS degrees f. the inland valleys are
basl1ing in the same sunlight, but the
air few feet above the ground is quiv-

f. In other words, there is tempera-
ture gradient of 1 degree per mile, and
this brings about a marked movement
Of the air, the motion being from the
cool to the warm locality.

Russians as Lin2uiSts.

Every educated Russian knows three
languages besides his own and many
of them four. knowledge of the Eng
fish, French and German languages is
considered necessary to culture. A fam
lily having small children employs two
to four governesses, from whom the
children learn foreign tongues before
they are taught the more difficult Rus
sian. This command of language makes
possible the fact that Russians have
better knowledge of the worlds affairs
than any other people.

Diet and Alcohol.

Careful observations have shown
again and again that there is an init
mate relation between diet and alco-
holism, especially that tea, coffee and
condiments lead to the use of alcohol.
1t has also been demonstrated that
flesh eating creates a thirst for alco-
holic beverages and an appetite for to-
bacco, the use of which almost invari-
ably leads sooner or later, to the use
of alcohol in one form or another.

Value of the Kangarooss Tail.

So important is the kangaroo's tail in
his rapid progress that experienced
hunters with guns are accustomed to
fire at the point where this appendage
joins the body, when, the tail being dis
abled for its office of balancing, the
animal is as effectually stopped as if
hamstrung. Hit elsewhere, except with
a rife bullet or at point blank range.
the kangaroo is pretty likely to get off.
One popularity of the kangaroo is
that, after being started up, he very
rarely swerves from his course, through
which popularity he is easily "potted"
by hunters, who conceal themselves
while a man on horseback drives the.
herd toward them.

The Nose.

Use the nose to breathe through and
not the mouth. In winter and spring
particularly must this care be taken.
If the mouth is kept open large drafts
of cold air rush directly in upon the
lungs, chilling the body almost in
stantly. If the mouth is kept shut the
air can reach the lungs only by the
circuit of the nose and head, and it be-
comes warmed before reaching the
lungs 1t is asserted that the reason
the American nose is becoming more
and more narrow is owing to the repre-
hensive habit of breathing through the
mouth rather than following the inten-

The Serpent's Venom.

A physician while talking with a
group of friends remarked: 1T is COM
mon to hear people speak about poison
Gus serpents. Serpents are never poison
Gus; they are venomous. A poison can
not be taken internally without bad
effects; venom can. Venoms to be
effective have to be injected directly
into the circulation, and this is the
manner in which the snakes kill.
Their venom taken internally is innoc-

Changing a Snake Into n Rod

In a volume on the snakes of Egypt
Hippolyte Boussac states that the in

changing snake into rod is still
practiced by the snake charmers. They
touch the snake at certain place in
the neck, when it falls into cataleptic
condition and becomes straight and
stiff. 1t is then restored to its former
condition by taking its tail between the
hands and firmly rolling.
