That u your crown, but what you
sought above
And far beyond-of so much greater
worth

Your patriotic hearts to cut the grove
And groove the barren soil You wrested

And beauty, wealth untold for future

BY patient struggle and a spirit bold
From the unknown. You toiled in faith

the enrats have to do 1t. Curat is a
thin married man but when he is a
rector he gets fuller and can preeeh
longer sermons and becums good
man, we should always Inspect curat
because sum day he may becum a
rector and we must always pity those
who are low down In the world. any

Arehimedes of Syracuse, when. he

chine for pumping bilge water out OF
the holds of ships. The instrument
was also used in the Delta for purposes
of irrigation. Diordorus Sfculus twice
refers to it in his writings. A curious
model of such an instrument, probably
of the late Ptoiemaic period, has been
found in Lower Egypt. 1t consists OF
a terracotta cylinder with a screw in.

half inches in diameter. Near the
center of the outside is band with

was worked after the manner of the
treadmill. Such screws were probably
made of wood.

BADGER A FINE ExcAvAToR.
As Digger of Earth the Little Animal
Takes High Rank.

A writer on natural history has the
following to say of badgers: In hard
winter weather the badger lies much
In its earth, alternating for long peri
DDS, much after the fashion of the
bear, and sleeping, like that animal,
with one paw IN its mouth. At this
season the beast closes up the mouth
of its den and slumbers away it's time
for many days, even weeks together
In milder weather 1t ventures forth
again in search of food. In the bust.
ness of digging the badger is one OF
the finest opponents in the world, max.
ing its way underground. even amid
the greatest obstacles, with strength,
celebrity and perseverance that are
truly marvellous. | have always re-
garded the hardware, the ant-eater OF
South Africa, as the champion digger
of the animal kingdom, having been
witness of some of his exploits; but
the badger takes a very high place in
the art of getting under ground"

was craving. | was dizzy and my
food always used to ferment instead
of digesting. Crossness, unhappiness
and nervousness were very prominent
symptoms.

a sister and there saw and used
Grape Nuts | had heard of this IA
nous food before, but never was in
terested enough to try it, for never
knew how really good it was. But
