BarnacIes as a Food.

The best-known and most useful OF
starvation diets for wrecked or cast
away people is that of barnacles, and
if anything of the kind happens to
you, they will probably be your staple
food. Barnacles are long. tough. half
shellfish, half vegetable, creatures
that grow on the under sides of YES
sells. Three Englishmen and a crew
of Lascars, who had been forced to
abandon the sailing vessel North
Star. kept themselves going for over
a week on barnacles, and only two OF
the crew died. The worst of them Is
that they give one internal cramps
and cause an insufferable thirst; but
they do nourish the frame.

SCHOOL ESSAY ON DUCKS.
Boys Writing Showed He Had Deep,y
Studied the Subject.

A schoo!boy in Jewel City, Kan.
was assigned to prepare an essay on
the subject of Ducks" and this is
what he wrote: THE duck is low,
heavy-set girl, composed mostly of
meat and feathers. He is mighty
poor singer, having hoarse voice
caused by getting two many frogs in
his neck. He likes the water and
carries toy balloon in his stomach
to keep him from sinking. The duck
has only two legs and they are set
SO far back on his running gears by
nature that she came purity near miss
ing his body. Some ducks when they
get big have curls on their tails and
are called brakes. brakes don't have
to set or hatch, but just loaf, go
swimming and eat. If l was duck
I'd rather be drake every time"

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because 1t
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
Dound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let

Defiance and save much time ana

Painless Dentistry.

When a Chinaman wants to have a
tooth drawn he feels no nervous appre-
hension of pain, for the excellent rea-
son that he knows his dentist will not
iniict any. The latter simply rubs
secret powder over the aching tooth.
After about five minutes the patient
sneezes and the tooth falls out. Many
attempts have been made by Euro.

powder. but no one has yet succeeded.

of elephants in the Free State. BY a special de-
