Permanent Muscular Strenqth,

There is this to be borne in mind in
these days when so many young men
are giving so much attention to physical
development, in gymnastic and athletic
exercises, that there cannot be perma-
nent muscular strength where there is
not blood strength.
Hoods Sarsaparilla gives blood
strength, promotes digestion and as
similation, and builds up the whole
system.

The wisdom Of tho Grow.

A naturalist who is much interested
in birds says that the crow is the wis
est of all feathered animals. He has
made a number of experiments recent
ly, and declares that an ordinarily we'll
educated crow can count to twenty, and
that he has found a sentinel crow, very
old and very wise, that can count to
twenty-six. He made these discoveries
in a very interesting way Recently
he spent some time in the mountains
of Wales, where a company Of boys
was camping out. One day he found
a flock Of crows gathered round the
body Of a sheep that had died, and
which lay near a barn. They flew
away as he approached, so he hid him
self in the barn and waited but they
would not come back Then he went
out and walked up the mountain, and
they all settled down again to the feast.
That afternoon he took four boys from
the camp with him and they marched
into the little building and waited. No
crows came back. Two of the boys
went out. Still no crows. Then the
other two went out, and only the natu-
ralist remained. But the old sentinel
crow had evidently counted them as
they went in, and he knew they had
not all come out. AT last the natural
list left the building and stralghtway
ell the crows returned. This expert
ment was repeated a number of times
with varying numbers of boys, but the
crows kept count. and would not come
down until the building was entirely
empty.

Tame Catamount.

Probably 1t is true that some men
have by nature a peculiar power over
Wild animals, and it is a matter of com
mon experience MAJ animals sometimes
strike up sudden friendships with per
sons they have never seen before. An
extreme instance of this kind is de-
scribed by military correspondent of
the New York Sun: Perhaps of all the
wild animals that may be at least par
TALLY civilized or tanned, the Rocky
Mountain lion or catamount offers the
least promise; and yet in the writer's
experience one specimen was as gentle
and docile IS human kindness could
make him. He followed his master
around like dog, obeying every wish
or nod, but would allow no other per-
sons to approach him with offers of
kindness or anything else This crea-
ture was full grown mountain lion,
that for some strange reason had taken
a fancy to Cheyenne Indian. Wheth-
er in camp, on the prairie, or in the
post, the brute could always be seen
quietly following the Indian, but he
would never leave his masters heels
for any reason except at his masters
bidding. Often would he accompany
the buck he post traders store,
where his ance was the signal for
all dogs to [ out and for bipeds not
acquainted with the situation to lose
no time in taking to the counters. The
officers of the post finally persuaded
the Indian to part with his pet for a
consideration, and the lion, after being
securely Gagged, was shipped as pres
ent to the National Museum at Wash

His ohocklnn Example.

Recently during political canvass
in England one of the candidates met
an old friend who belonged to the
opposite party. Liberal and conserv-
alive adjourned to the club, where
they fraternized heartily. There was
much political excitement at the time.
The excitement or something else
made the old friends hilarious, AS the
conservative was the least incapable
of the two, he volunteered to see
the candidate home. When the door
was opened and the lady of the house
appeareS~ in the hall the conservative
pointed TO his helpless companion;
"I.ook there, Mrs. H-hicks," he hic-
coughed "see what radical ideas have

initiate the fashionable ideal, despite
the greatest odds. 1t is an old trick
of the painter to set forth the women
of his day as all bearing a strong
family likeness. Does he create an
ideal type with which he generously
endows each one. or does he kindly
represent them all as he knows they
would like to seem-that is, In ac-
cordance with the fashionable stan
dard? We can never put the old por-
trait painters to the proof, but it is
very likely that there was Holbein

the same sort.

were bright-indeed never could
tell what color they were of, but to
the best of my judgment they were
what Solomon called doves eyes, and
she is almost the only woman | ever
saw whose lips were scarlet.
THE sweetness arising from united
graces was guarded by dignity
which kept all admirers in awe, in so
much that she was the woman In the
world to whom that fine description
of Solomon could best be applied, Fair
as the moon clear as the sun, but ter
rible as an army with banners"
The early nineteenth century
brought in a quite new type of girl, OF
which Lawrence and his contempor-
aries have left some lovable records.
At this time the startling innovations
in dress, especially the shortwaisted,
clinging frocks, though exposing the
person to an almost unheard-of de-
gree, curiously enough, gave an in
describable air of childlike and inno-
cent simplicity to the wearers, which
was much aided by the fashion of part
baby curls about the face.
II appears that simplicity and mod
esty were just coming into fashion,
but it was soon to be the day OF

fresh smiling, artless, tender little
domestic goddess, whom men are in

and so on to the end of the chapter.
Her features were in all the books
and magazines and left their impress
upon every portrait Sensibility and
sweetness were fashionable and she
grew sweeter and sweeter until she
dwindled away into insipidity.
This type, with the head carried in
a deprecating, birdlike manner, the
, oval face framed in meekly parted
hair, the enormous eyes shyly droop-
ing, The unnaturally small mouth
curved upward in a sweet, confiding
smile, gradually gave place to a girl
who might have come from another
world. Now 1t will not be admitted
that sixty years ago girls had sweeter
natures than they have'So day, and yet
the fashionable expression at present
seems to be a somewhat repellant one.
