A Desperate Conclusion.

A man wakes up at early morn
And feels wintry chill:
He says, "Ill wear a heavy Garb
That | may not be ill.,"
BY noon the mercury is high,
And then he walls because
In such a sultry atmosphere
He is not wearing gauze.
And then he changes. and anon
There comes biting breeze,
And al his limbs are shivering like
The limbs upon the trees.
Alack. when men are civilized.
What constant woes befall:
I'd rather dwell in Fiji land
And wear no clothes at all!

Knocked Her Out With a Look.

While talking of the many notable
people he met during his pugilistic ca
reer John L. Sullivan said one day in
New York: "Once when | was in sgd
ney had a suit Of rooms directly over
Sarah Bernhard. l never met the
lady, and didn't much care. She was
jabbering French all the time and was
rehearsing constantly in her room. L
heard so much of it that l pretty near
had the willies. One night l happened
to follow Sarah into her majestys thea
ter in Sydney, and had good chance
to size her up. She was a feather
weight all right, and there was so much
powder on her face that thought she'd
made n mistake. She got look at me,
and because had been so much annoy
ed with her jabbering scowled at her
gave her the look that used to scare
the dubs who tried to stay four rounds
with me. Well. sir, Sarah gave one
long, mournful howl and tainted away.
After that she didn't jabber any more,
for she'd found out who was living up
stairs"

Gotnr tn Canossa.

The saying "going to Canossa" rerers
to the humiliating pilgrimage made
by the Emperor Henry ~ to Italy In
the year 1877. Henry had objected TO
the claims advanced by Gregory Hide
brand and, refusing to submit, was ex-
communicated by that pontif. The
emperor at first laughed at the SEN
tence, but took a more serious view
when he found himself deserted even
by his personal attendants and resolved
on a journey to Italy to make his peace
with the pope. The latter was then at
the Castle of Canossa, q fortress of the
Countess Mathilda and situated in the
mountains of Modena. Thither the en-
peror fastened, but the pope refused
to see him save under the most degrad-
ing conditions.
The desperate situation Of Henry
compelled him to submit, and for three
days and nights, barefooted and bare
headed, clad only in a hair shirt, the
raiment of penitent, he waited at the
gate. At the end Of this fearful pen
ance, which was undergone in the
month of January, he was admitted TO
the papal presence, was absolved ana
received his dominion as a gift from
the pope. The expression has ever
since been current as indicative OF
abject submission on any terms I'M
posed by the conqueror.

Tbey Weren't Fed.

"Some years ago." said San Fran
cisco man, "a globe trotting English
man came into the city by the Golden
Gate, and it fell to my lot to entertain
him. So one night | took him to dine
at the far famed Cliff House. 1t was
a beautiful moonlight night, and from
where we sat upon the porch we look
ed out upon the broad bosom OF the
Pacific ocean. The moons light made
a path across the waters, and in Its
center the Seal rocks lay like a black
patch. The Englishman inquired what
they were and upon my informing him
said: Bah Jove, are those the Seal
rocks of which 1 have heard? I'd very
much like to see the seals. / say, my
man. turning to the waiter, 'caun't L
see the seals? Don't you feed them at
night?
"'Oh, yessir,' replied the waiter, who
was of Hibernian descent without
blinking an eye. AT 9 o'clock we al
WAYS gives them their ham and eggs,

"The Englishman accepted this sur
prising piece Of information without
turning hair and announced that he
would surely be on hand at the time
mentioned He was; but, needless to
say, the waiter was not"

Not Clipped.

a naturalist says that the squirrel
tribe is increasing all over the wooded
districts of England and in the Scottish
lowlands. In some parts Of Scotland,
notably in the north, the little creature
IS unknown.
1t is not so long ago that Scotch
judge was trying a case which had to
do with the escape of a squirrel from
its cage and the question as to whether
it had been stolen.
"Were its wings clipped?" he asked a
witness.
But, my lord" interposed the coun-
sci, st is a quadruped."
"Quadruped or no quadruped," said
his honor sternly, "if its wings had
been clipped it could never have es-
caped."

Use ofnLonc Breath.

When chilled by exposure to cold.
take a long breath, with the mouth
firmly shut. Repeat this several times
until you begin to feel the heat return
ing. 1t requires only very short time
to do this. The long breath quickens
the pulse, and this causes the blood TO
circulate faster. The blood flows into
all parts of the veins and arteries and
gives out a great deal Of heat. 1t is
stated that long. deep breath, held as
long as possible, will close the pores OF
a heated skin, and the danger of taking
cold, on stepping outdoors, may be thus
guarded against.

Cur,ag Hams.

The curing of hams, to make them
sweet, should be done dry, and not in
pickle. In the proportion of four or
binary hams, take about three pints
of fine salt, two ounces of saltpeter,
half a pound of coarse sugar (some
prefer two quarts of molasses instead
of sugar., one quarter of pound OF
black pepper; pound the saltpeter fine
and mix the ingredients together, rub
bing the hams thoroughly with it on
the flesh sides, and stack up in pile.
In few days they should be turned,
placing the bottom ones on top, and
this should be repeated several times.
In turning see that all parts are fur
nishsd with the curing.compound, and
the replacing will secure air to all
parts. Hams cure in about the same
number of days they weigh pounds.
Then the salt, etc., may be washed off
with cold water, the hams dried with
cloth, and rubbed with black pepper
on the flesh sides and at the knuckles.
Hang up in a moderately warm room
to dry. To keep the hams perfectly
safe all through the warm weather,
place them in canvas or Gotten bags,
tightly inclosed, and whitewash the
canvas when the hams are inclosed.
Yellow ochre is frequently used for
this purpose also, but lime wash is
equally as good, if not better.

Defining Appendicitis.

A teachers examination was held
at Seneca, Kan, at which one of the
questions in physiology was as follows;
"What is appendicitis, and what are
it's causes and cures?" Below are CIV
en- few of the answers as reported in
the Seneca Tribune:
ut is a disease of the appendix,
which is located somewhere between
the liver and the heart, the organ OF
the affections.
"Cosifcation of the marrow Of the
longitudinal shaft bone"
Appendicitis is sunstroke or over
heating, caused by great heat, The
cure is to get the patient into a cool
place, battle the face and hands with
water"
us the disease of appendice, caused
by want of exercise, improper food,
clothing and ventilation.
Appendicitis is a condition caused
by food substances lodging and caus-
ing blockade in the digestive appa-
ratus. 1t is cured by surgical opera
ton, in which the obstruction is cut
away. A theory is given that the ap-
pendix was at one time tail on man
and is not yet evolved of. 1t is cut
away by the surgeon"

Some People
Can't Eat
Bread

Bread is reputed to be the "staff
of life" yet there are some people
who never eat bread. We allude
to this because of curious paral-
lei fact in medicine. If even bread
does not suit quite everybody, we
don't expect one medicine, even
Vinol, to cure everybody.
But we recommend Vinol and
sell it on a guarantee of money
back if it does not benefit the user.
Though we can't expect all to
be cured, yet, strange to say, out
of every one hundred bottles sold,
less than two per cent proved
unsatisfactory. In other words,
ninety-eight out of every hundred
found Vinol of value - many of
them of very great value.
We want to say that if you are
rundown, weak, too thin, ailing,
with bad stomach, poor appetite,
cough, nervousness, that we think
Vinol will help you. At any rate,
it will cost nothing to try it.
You can have your money back if
you say it doesn't help you. Vinol
has a pleasant taste, and is recon-
mended by physicians as a safe
andunusually effective body-builder
and general tonic.
Our Vinlax, for constipation, is
Vino's companion remedy, sold on
the same guarantee.
