Temper Powders.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
A long-felt want is to be supplied by Sir
Lauder BruntOns temper powders. which
will Danish worry and soothe the irritable.
AS to their effectiveness, we have the ap-
proving testimony of Sir Lauder himself.
Twenty grains of bicarbonate of potash

How this may strike the Don't Worry

cure certainly commends Itself by it's SIM
plcity. For you can go to any drug store
and purchase the necessary medicine
whereas there Is no emporium in the world

relieved of all responsibility IL the medicine

sheer act OF the will all blithesome. CAV and
debonair and he gets fresh access of
black bile after desperate and hopeless
effort to change his nature. We have seen
people of his type who when they were told
to be happy took on such an expression of
dark despair and murderous purpose that a
hasty exit seemed to be the sole recourse
for their well-meaning counselors in the
emergency.

1t is well not to try to speak too soon.

A Pirate Among Plants.
From the Geographic Magazine.

from the GeOgrapnc magazine.
Among all the forms OF vegetable life in
the Mexican tropics the wild fig trees are
the most remarkable. Some Of them show
such apparent intelligence in their readi-
ness to meet emergencies that 1t Is difflcult
to not credit them with powers of volition.
In the tropics. where the Wild figs -four
ish. there is a constant struggle for life
among numberless species Of plants. Ger
tain Of the Wild figs appear to have learned
this and provide fruit which Is a favorite
food for many birds: then an occasional
seed Is dropped by bird where 1t finds
lodgment In the axil Of palm frond high
In the air.
There the seed takes root and Is nourlsh-
ed by the little accumulation of dust and
vegetable matter. 1t sends forth an aerial
root. which creeps down the palm. some
times coiifng about the trunk on its way.
When this slender, cord-like rootlet reaches
the ground secures foothold and be-
comes the future trunk of the fig tree.
After the descending rootlet has secured
itself In the ground branch bearing few
leaves springs from the seed In the palm
top and vigorous growth begins. Then
the fig gradually enlarges and incioses the
supporting palm trunk until the la ter is
completely shut in the heart of its foster
child and eventually strangled.

Education and the Professions.

A majority Of the teachers of medicine.
