"La Grippe. "

When your feelin' out O. killer
An you want to loaf awhile:
When you sort O. look for trouble
An you'd ruther scold than smile;
When yer better inspirations
Seem inclined to take trip
An yer soul is sad an soggy-
You can blame it on s.the grip"
They say that generous nature
Never makes thing in vain
An I'm glad that I've discovered
The utility Of pain.
When you need an explanation
OF the angry word let slip,
1t comes in mighty handy
Jes' to blame it on the grip"

From the Toronto Star.

From the Toronto Star.
Representative De Almond says he is
quite in earnest in advocating the purchase
of Canada. If he Is, let him talk business
like a business man. Let him amend his
proposition by making bid for Canada and
put price on the New England states, and
agree to either buy or sell. This would be
a business-like offer which would command
respect and be considered. AS 1t stands now,
hts proposition is triflng one. but IL Uncle
Sam is willing to either buy or sell deal
could be arranged.

BEAR GOES TO SCHOOL.
Attracted by Lunches of Pupfls He
Becomes . Regular and Wel-
coined visitor.

Constant contact with humanity has
SO tanned the Adirondack bear that his
western brother would not recognize
him. One. whose habitation the New
York Sun has placed at Sanders Mill
on the Mad river, actually goes to
school. He may still be uncertain in
literature and vague in spelling, but
ne is rapidly learning gentle manners.
He came slouching out of the woods
one day and advanced directly Oh the
district schooihouse. Some of the
children had eaten their luncheon on
the grass in front of the building. The
bear stopped and licked up the crumbs
and scattered remnants of the repast,
ana then stuck his head in at the
schoolhcuse door.
The children and the school-teacher
screamed. and the big fellow was so
frightened that he took to his lumber
ing heels. The next day, however, he
came to the schoolhouse the same
hour, and ate the crumbs and crusts
as before. He looked at the school
house door, but did not venture there.

THE PEPSIN HABIT.
Taking of This Simple
Remedy for Indigestion Will
Result Badly.

According to DR.. Mckenzie, of st.
Louis Mo-, there is such a thing as the
'pepsin habit" People take pepsin day
after day, until the S, s,oIiach is made in
capable OF producing pepsin. The pepsin
which tie patient has swallowed has
taken the place Of the natural epsin Of
the st9mach. The rood has been di-
gested il IN artificial way, and the stom-
ach, nnding itself excused from any fur
ther effort in this direction, quits the
business of making pepsin altogether,
and becomes lazy, superfuous member
Of the aliEentary canal
Perhaps this description carriers the
matter little too far, says Medical Talk,
but it serve ) 10 call attention 20 the fact
that to ;n : pepsin continually, mont n
after month, and year after year. more
harm than good is cone. This is alAo
true Of any other remedy. There is no
remedy SO simple, no medicine SO potent,
no dope SO beneficial, but that the con-
tinuous tai ing of il will produce a con-
dltion as bad, if not worse, than the con-
dition for which it was originally taken.

ELECTRIC "WHIP" A SUCCESS.
New Device Tested at Chicago and
BaltSy Horses Cease to BE
Stubborn.

An electric whip, the invention Of j.
A. Giles, of ElbeI on. Ga, was given a
successful test at the stock yards at
Chicago the other morning. Mr. Giles
device consists essentially OF a small
battery. which is placed in the wagon
and from which wires run along the
shafts to small copper plates fixed in
tile s2ddles of the harness. When it is
desired To spur the animals to greater
effort it is only necessary to touch a
button ard every horse feels the shock
at the same instant.
1t is Mr.. Giles idea that the invention
will wor. perfectly on teams containing
number of horses when it is desired
to have them all start at the same mo-
ment, and he contends that it will be
found far superior to the ordinary whip
which must be applied to each animal
separately.
The first test was made on a horse
which the stable men had been unable to
drive for year. The effect OF the
whip was instantaneous, the horse
being only too willing to travel Other
tests were equally successful.
