"A LIMIT.
One Thing Food Can't Do.

Food can't exactly paint picture, \ Ebut proper food to restore the daily \ wear and tear on brain and nerves as Iweil as body can help. A successful artist says:
 q had been troubled with dyspepsia for ,25 years and my system was so run down was so weak and miserable life 'was a burden to ma until made a great discovery about food. 1T am an artist by profession and at that time was painting large marine spiece, but being in such poor health l 'could not do justice to it and no matter how often I changed it there seemed
 always something wrong. Success lay sjust out of my reach, because I did not have the strength and vigor of brain as well as bodily strength to accomplish swilat knew lay within me.
 Looking around me for help, I decid- sed to try a food had heard so much about and that was the way I was led gto use Grape Nuts and it came at the sright time. had hardly given it fail ytrial before I began to feel so much sbetter my dyspepsia disappeared and ] .conmenced to feel stronger and more Vigorous all over, head and all, and ii Twas not long before I was back at my swork again with renewed energy and Interest.
 Even more substantial proof of the help I got from this food was when finished my painting and put it up fol sexhibition. Critics said it was a mas. < terpiece and I sold it short time age at very good price. Before closing want to mention the fact that my

Who Has Used Paxtine Toilet AntlMep-
 tic Is Sure to Tell Others
 of It's Value.
 This accounts for the enormous sale 1t is having among women, not only here. but all over the United States. Paxtine, the discovery of a noted Boston physician, is considered the most efficacious ansiseptic known to medicine. It has peculiar power to cleanse and quickly cure Inflammation and catarrh of the mucous membrane, whether it be in the head, nose, eyes, throat or pelvic organs.
 Paxtine has no equal for this pur- pose, because it is composed of the most powerful and remedial vegetable antiseptic known to medicine, and it | IS perfectly harmless. It is for this to whiten the teeth, perfume the breath, harden the gums, cure excess sive precipitation, overcome all tenden- l cy to tender feet that ache, swell and burn. and cure all eruptions of the skin. Do not confound Paxtine with liquid antiseptics which depend upon drugs, and alcohol, for effect.
 Paxtine Is in Powder form, easily dissolved and each box makes a large quantity of pure, strong, antissptic so- lution of great cleansing and healing power.
 Thousands of letters have been re- ceived from women in all parts of the country telling how Paxtine has cured them of female diseases, sore throat, catarrhal troubles. sore eyes, skin eruptions; or how it has whitened their teeth, cleansed the mouth and perfum- ! ed the breath, and found other uses in their toilet, until it seemed indispens- able to them.
 | Paxtine is extensively used and pre- scribed by physicians and leading spe- cialists. as nothing has ever been dis covered to equal it.

AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF EN-
 GINES.

The shocking accidents which have
 occurred of late years upon American railways, even those equipped with the
 most improved system of signaling ap- |paratus, have demonstrated that be-
 tween the signals and the throttle of the
 locomotive, which they are supposed to
 control, is human intermediary in the
 shape of an engineer not always reli-
 able. An automatic signal system has
 been invented which is designed to in
 crease rather than to diminish the wills
 lance of the engineer, while automatic ally bringing his train to a stop should
 he attempt to run past a danger signal.
 Projecting above the cab of a loco-
 motive provided with this apparatus
 are two parallel and vertical arms, the outer one of which is pivoted to swing sidewise toward the other arm, but is normally held parallel herewith by a
 glass rod interposed between the arms at their upper ends. Each siganl post along the line is equipped with lever in a vertical position; but when danger threatens, this lever is swung to a hori- zontal position over the track, so as to strike and shatter the glass rod carried by the locomotive. When the glass rod is broken the pivoted arm on the locomotive swings so as to throw a

steam valve, which admits steam to the throttle--closing cylinder, the piston rod of which is so connected with the throttle-lever as first to unlock it and then draw it to a closed position. At the same time valve is turned which throws the sand lever. When the throttle is closed a piston in the throttle-closing cylinder uncovers a port leading to a valve which acts on the engineers brake lever and sets the emergency brakes. The train cannot be started until new glass rod has been placed between the pair of vertical arms. As additional checks upon the engineer the automatic throttle closing operations when they take place sound a whistle, and time-recorder placed in the cab keep track of each automatic closing of the throttle.--zion Herald.

human dance, but II is not known TO
many persons that the aibatross has
the most elaborate and e~eremonious
dance of them I'LL
Only very few have ever seen the all

\. One OF the nesting places Of this
great winged creature Is the island Of
Laysan. ID the Pacific ocean, and there
at times the ground is absolutely GOV
cred With their nests 1t Is on Laysai,
that the albatross dance was first seen
by a lucky scientist.
The ceremony begins when a lotsof
the birds are grouped In a circle. Two
will advance toward each other. bend;
ing and nodding their heads in exact
imitation OF the human bow Then
they spar with their bills, crossing
them gently and still making funny
little bows. Then II bird will lower
Its head and stand quite still In that
pose. while the other throws Its head
back till the bill points straight into
the air. 1t puffs out Its breast and ad.
vanees with q queer, fantastic strut,

bird begins to snap its bill till 1t pro
duces the sound Of castanets.
So the two win alternate, advancing
and retreating and bowling to each 9th
or by turns Sometimes one will pict
up a bit OF grass or a feather and offel
It to the other. Then q second couple
will join the dance. and at last as many
