The reservoir grounds in many
ways bore testimony TO Mr.. Fosters
love of nature. The young trees of
the locality twenty years ago have
been carefully preserved and additions
made till the locality Is something of
an arboretum of native and foreign
varieties. The roots, bushes and shrubs
of this region, the curious and COM
monplace, have their representatives
there. The flower beds are the envy
and admiration Of the florist Pansies
as large as saucers bloom in the woods

banished from city gardens, proudly

When the fame of Montpelier s
water system was noised abroad. Mr..
Foster began to be called to different
parts of the State and into Canada for
consultation with the representatives
of municipalities which had taken in
hand the important matter of provid-
ing adequate water supply for domes-
tic uses and for fire protection. In
the last ten or twelve years Of his life
much of his time had been spent in
this service. Accepting his counsels
and guided by the fruits of his expert
ence, fatal mistakes were avoided and
cost Of construction diminished.

Can you falter, can you question the
truth of such a statement, or the value
of this great remedy, after reading Mr..
Talmadges letter? Don't forget that
rheumatism is solely disease of the
blood. You must treat your blood for a
cure. II you have rheumatism your
blood will show it. If it's something
else your blood will show it.

Air Pressure.

II Ia proved that when air is heated II
rises. and also that it expands, and per-
hans some of us are now wondering
why 1t should rise. This is a rather
hard subject, but perhaps we may De
able to explain 1t. In the first place
air presses on the earth everywhere
with a certain pressure. This Is De
cause Of the attraction Of gravity, whlch
pulls upon or gives weight to every
form of matter, whether solid, iiquid OF
gaseous Now. air is matter in gas
cons form. 1t has very little weight
but still II has some. Close to the sur
fore Of the earth air presses heaviest
because 1t is pressed down, not only Dy
its own weight, but also by the weight
Of the air above, and the air presses IN
ali directions as well as downward, be-
cause it is so easily moved and can be
pushed or made to flow from one point
TO another very much like water. AS
we 60 up from the surface OF the eartn
the air presses less and less, because
there is less air above 1t. If you think
this out, you will see that any BODY
surrounded by air, like box heid Id
the hand, for instance, Will be more
pressed upon on its lower side or bot
tom than on its top-Philadeiphla

A Inst beast.

In the days when the late archbishop
of Canterbury. DR.. Frederick Temple
was master Of Rugby he sentenced 10
expulsion a boy who was innocent or
the offense charged against him, but
who could not clear himself without
exposing the real offender. The LAD
made up his mind to bear the punish
ment and wrote to his father saying
that he was sure his family would rath-
err have him expelled than know him to
be sneak.
The father promptly sent the letter to
DR.. Temple, calling attention to post
script in which the boy said he wished
the doctor could understand the matter
and added, Temple Is a beast, but be
is just beast"
1t is on record that Temple did under
stand, and the boy was not expelled
Or. Temple, grim old man that he was
was always proud Of the title "a Jus'

A Choking Dog.

Dogs frequently choke. A bone,
nail or piece of tin gets In the
throat, and there is great danger OF
death before the arrival of the surgeon.
Many of them do die, but there Is no
reason for this, for it is easy, without
the slightest danger of getting bitten,
TO put the hard in the mouth of dog
and to draw out or push down the OBJ
struction that is choking 1t. A bandage
"a handkerchief or towel will do-ls
passed between the teeth and over the
upper jaw, and in similar way anoth-
er bandage Is passed between the teeth
and over the under jaw. One person,
holding the ends of these two band
ages, keeps the dogs mouth wide open.
A second person can then with perfect
ease and safety put his fingers down
the animals throat and relieve 1t.

Winter Birds.

Water birds, singular as 1t seems, are
the only ones whose skins never by any
chance get touched by water. So long
as they are alive and long after they
are dead they float with an air cham
Der all round their bodies, cunningiy
contrived Of waterproof feathers close
ly overlapping each other. Thus IN a
sense, water birds may be distinguish
ed from all others by the fact that they
never wash, though we can hardly
blame them for that, because II water
could penetrate between their feathers
the poor things would never be dry.
