Health Making storms.

What the tide does in the ocean of
water storms do ir the ocean, OF air
deleterious and poisonous germs are
removed or killed. The noticeable
smell of ozone after thunderstorm
and the increased bodily comfort are
well known. Storms. in the main, are
due to the action Of our atmosphere in
resisting the escape of the radiant
heat. Even at the equator great cold
exists at the trifling height Of four
miles above sea level, which Is reduced
to three during the night. One week
of continued night in the tropics would
lock them in the grip OF eternal frost
and put an end to all life. Now and
again the upper fluid is punctured. SO
to speak. and through the breach so
caused downward rush with rotary
movement is made till equilibrium is
again restored. Storms, therefore, are
essentially beneficent, both to health
and life. They reshape for use the
necessary life giving air and warmth
as earthquakes do the crust of the
earth.

Willow Trees In America.

The weeping willow tree came 10
America through the medium of Alex
ander Pope, the poet, who planted a
willow twig OH the banks Of the Thames
at his Twickenham villa. The twlg
came to him in box Of figs sent from
Smyrna by a friend who had lost all in
the south sea bubble and had gone TO
that distant land to recoup his fortunes.
A young British officer who came TO
Boston with the army to crush the re-
bellion of the American colonies brought
with him twig from Pope's now beau
tiful willow tree, intending to plant II
in America when he should comforta-
bly, settle down ON lands csnfiscated
from the conquered Americans. The
young officer, disappointed in these ex'
pectations, gave his willow twig, wrap
ned in oil silk, to John Parke Gusts,
Mrs. Washington's son, who planted It
on his Abingdon estate. in Virginia. 1t
thrived and became the progenitor or
all our willow trees.

Ask oWhysS

If boys could learn at school all about
education, that would only leave them
very dull persons. The object OF their
education at school is to give boys men,
tai alertness and an eternal curiosity,
and its real test is whether it leaves
them always saying to themselves,
"Why?" 1 do not know whether you
have ever thought about 1t, but all the
great discoveries Of the world have
come because some one has asked that
question. The records Of industry show
nothing more clearly than that all real
mental skill depends on asking ques-
lions. The answer is sure to follow.
The real mental capacity is not dis
played by the man who answers the
question. but by the man who asks it

The Ancient Hour.

The early Egyptians divided the day
and night each into twelve hours, GUS
tom adopted by the Jews or the Greeks
probably from the Babylonians. The
day is said to have first been divided
into hours from B. G. 293, when sun
dial was erected in the temple of Quiri-
nus at Rome. Previous to the invention
of water clocks, B. c. 15S, the time was
called at Rome by public criers. In
early England one expedient of meas
uring time was by wax candles, three
inches burning an hour. The first per-
feet mechanical clock was not made
until about A. d. 1850. Day began al
sunrise among most Of the northern ma
lions, at sunset among the Athenians
and Jews, at midnight among the Ro'
mans, as with us.

INDIAN TRADING.
The Way to Beat the Red Man Down
In His Prices.

In His Prices.
Few white men know how to trade
with an Indian" remarked Denver
man who has made study Of Indians
for ten years past. Il once met an In
dian with Il magnificent mountain lion
skin. He was willing to part with the
ornament, but his price was too high.
I offered him $3.50, but he Indignantly
refused. Later, OH the same day, after
l had learned to trade with an Indian.
l bought the skin for S1.oO.
"The secret Of trading with the In
dian is to appear indifferent. The most
successful trader is the one who goes
with a supply Of the same article he is
most DESTROYS of buying. The Indian
sees that the stranger has had expert
ence, and negotiations are carried ON
upon a strictly business basis. An In
dian refused $40 for bow and arrow.
1t was bought for 81 by a man who
carried several bows and arrows in his
hand. This willy individual leased the
supply from a store in order to i'm
press his copper colored friends, and
he succeeded.

ing Of traits of character he has OBJ
served in his red friends. sis one Of the
most faithful followers in the world

n liking to you, there IS nothing you
can ask he will not do. If he dislikes
you, the less you have to do with that
Indian the better" - Rocky Mountain

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do
not grippe nor weaken the system.
They cure biliousness, jaundlce,
constipation and inactive livers, by
arousing the secrelions, moving the
bowels gently, yet effectually, and
giving such tone and strength TO
the glands of the stomach. liver and
bowels that the cause of the trouble
Is removed entirely. These famous
little pills exert a decided tonic eff

If their use Is continued for few

your Wine Of Cardui and only needed to
take three bottles when ! was fuliy re-
covered"
T117HEN Miss Rose Owens, who
WI has a responsible position In
wv the Governme emit service at
Washington, D. c., decided to
try Wine of Cardui, she made wise
choice. Over a million women have
( been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine Of Cardui. 1t is not a
strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. 1t does not force results, but
corrects arrangements of the menstrual
organs. 1t Strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func,,
tons, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic for wo-
men known to the science Of medicine.
