The Flesh He Preferred.

1t is said OF Maxim Gorly. the Rus
sian writer. that he dined at Il table
dhote one day in one of his periods of
vegetarianism and was much annoyed
by the opportunities of an old lady
who sat opposite him.

NO, madam" Gorky answered.

"None, thank YOU
Dear me! But surely you'll have a

interchangeable old lady.

eat any flesh but human flesh, and

A Very Curious Drug,

A very curious drug is one found in
certain European countries and which
is known as wizard" A small dose
of this, it is asserted on credible au-
thOrity. produces an irrepressble i'm
pulse to do arithmetical problems-pre-
supposin@ that the person affected has
any previous knowledge of arithmetic
Those suffering from the influence of
this drug will go to almost any length
in their efforts to obtain pencil and
paper, and, once provided with these
they will write down columns upon col
umns of figures and then spend hours
and in some cases days trying to add
these up. Curiously enough. it is stated
that these figures are never worked out
to 4 correct result by those suffering
from the effects of wizard" The end
is either death or insanity-generally
lhe latter when the mania takes the
form of doing endless sums in addition.

1t is well to be able to read and

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Sarah GoOdheart, daughter of old
Deacon Goodhoart of the village of
Ccnterport. had lived to reach the age
OF twenty-five without being married.
She hadn't got married for the simple
reason that she was too romantic. The
deacon was Il man who called a spade
spade, and his Wife was a woman
who made her own soft soap. Where
Sarah got her romantic notions was
beyond guessing. She had them.

Sarah could have married Squire
Johnson after he had become a wild
over year, but the squire popped the
question in the parlor instead of out
undCr the apple trees and was refused
as having no romance in his soul. She
could have married young Kelly as he
was about to set up as Il lawyer but
he could not write verses, so Sarah
knew that there could be no bond of
sympathy between them.
The deacon said to his wife:
What Sarah needs is to fall off the
barn and cit some of those notions
Jared out of her head"
But Sarah waited for her knight to
appear, and she did not wait in vain

cured in this way:
Il began using Dodd's Kidney Pills

For four or five years 1 had Kidney,
Stomach and Liver Troubles; was a
general wreck and at times l would

they told me I had Bright's Disease,
