HE LEARNED A GREAT TRUTH.
 It is said of John Wesley that he once said to Mistress Wesley: "Why do you tell that child the same thing over and over again?'' John Wesley: Because once telling is not enough. 7 It is for this same reason that you are told again and again that Chamber lain's Cough Remedy cures colds and grip; that it counteracts any tendency of these diseases to result in pneu- monia, and that it is pleasant and safe to A For sale by all drugg isA

FABRICATED BILL OF FARE.
Different Kinds of Food Upon Which Various Birds Chiefly
 Subsist.

Vegetable feeders form large class among birds, and they alone would offer an interesting field for study, as there is such specialization for feeding on par ticular kinds or portions of plants. There are fruit and grain eaters, besides those which feed entirely on buds, leaves, berries or nuts, nectar and even pollen. Lichens form considerable item in the bill of fare of certain birds which have their home In the far north. We have even dedicated certain plants to birds as duck-weed and partridge vine, says a writer in Nature.
 Desmids and diatoms, those micro scopic shelled organisms, which are all most on the border line between plants and animals, are devoured in myriads by ducks and other birds which find nour- ishment in the mud of ponds and streams, sitting it through their beaks
 Sponges, at least In a decaying state, are devoured by crows, as can testify from observation, after dredging expeditions in the Bay of Fundy. Gulls and crows are sometimes seen tearing stranded jellyf1sh into pieces. s~ Starfsh and sea urchins are sought out by gulls, ravens and crows They break into them by main force or carry them aloft and drop them on the rocks. have even seen bald eagle, when fish and fish hawks were scarce, break into and devour green-spfned urchin.
 If minute shrimps comprise the entire food of whales, 1t is not surprising that thousands of shore birds are well nour- ished by the myriads of crabs and shrimps which make their home along fha shore 4l l--. '

Missouri Boys Choose Class Cry Both

 Missouri university has an agricul- tural yell, says Columbia special to the Chicago Record Herald. 1t can be uttered in both English and Latin and was adopted at specially convened meeting the other day. Several yells were submitted, but this was the most popular:
 Horses, cattle. sheep and hogs,
 Turkeys, chickens, ducks and dogs! Feed 'em. fatten 'em, make em thrive: Agriculture. nineteen f1ve!t
 An agricultural student who is also making speciality of the classics sprang an innovation by submitting the same yell in Latin. The sugges- tion was adopted with enthusiasm, though few English words were found necessary for euphony. 1t goes like this:

'"The inspection of fruit and vegeta- bles by the New York health authori- ties, MT. Frank w. Hawthorne asserts in an article on Feeding Great City," contributed to Pearson's, Sis intelligent. systematic and very rigid, and the transportation companies, too, report that they exercise sort of supervision in this direction. A chief inspector and one assistant cover the wholesale trade on the lower West side, while the retail trade all over the city-but chiefly on the lower East side where Greeks. Russian Jews, Slavs and a horde of Ital- fans are in the business-requires the almost constant services of B additional inspectors. One day in last July whole cargo of bananas were sent back to sea by the chief inspector and dumped over board. Transportation officials, con- signees and inspectors all agree that careful picking and especially careful packing by the growers and shippers constitute an all-important factor in se- curing good returns on fruits and veg etables.

this would run the $4,000, 900 acres OF

good one system may be, therefore, the
lands which it protects may be more OF

The only way to secure the necessary
uniformity and solidarity is to put the
whole line of defense i'll the hands of the
national government. This should be
done even though it should not furnish
the major part of the funds an it ought
