Make Provision for Winter.

All birds of the crow tribe, rocks

winter-like squirrels and some 9th.

visions for their sustenance against
a season of scarcity. While jackdaws
select holes of trees and old buildings
to store away such provisions, rocks
convey them away to their rookeries.
There in last seasons nests they de.
posit them. Toward springtime, when
they begin thinking about setting
their houses in order, they visit their
rookeries and, when rebuilding their
nests throw out the unused store.

MODERN METHODS OF SPELLING

Exchange Tells Of Hardshlps They
Caused One Unfortunate.
Imagine the case of a person who
at different periods of his life was
obliged to learn to spell all over
again. said the professor. 81 knew of
such man, not originally a poor
speller who was compelled thrice to
lake up the study of photography. II
happened in this way:
This friend of mine was reared in
the country, attended the school,
and acquired therein the necessary
proficiency under the rules of the old
lime teacher. AS a matter of fact he
learned to spell while standing. 1t
was a curious fact that for many
years that man could not spell some
OF the simplest words unless he stood
up On his feet, he was the best
speller in the class, and acquired
many a prize in the spelling bees.
There was not pulSi in those days
who could turn linn 6own,' when 1t
came to an exercise in upright oitho-
graphy.
Then, years afterward, he had to
learn to spell with pencil. All his
spelling talent went into his pencil.
His tongue had lost its cunning, and
whether standing or sitting he would
miss the easiest words, unless he used
his pencil
Finally, with the advent of the
typewriter, he was obliged again to
learn how to spell, this time with the
machine. Queer thing, isn't 1t? I'm
less the word is simple one. my
friends tongue refuses its aid, his
pencil declines to afford its old-time
help, and he is compelled to refer to
the writing machine. And yet he's q

Evolution.


Now n wise man. clever thinker, tells us
we are doomed to perish,
And i'm some three million years Wen
disappear
That we have no chance to linger, that
extinction Is our portion,
Not one hope of staving off the fate
that seems so drear.
And he says, when we have faded, van
ished off OF all creation,
Intellectual birds will fill our vacant
place
Flying marvels. winged and brainy. will
supplant the varied peoples
Who for many centuries past have
formed the human race!
Still, this shouldn't much surprise us.
Many of us are in training,
Learning to become real lively birds.
II YOU think this statement curious; bark
TO any pair OF lovers
Note with care and close attention all
their words:
"Ducky darling" Little Birdie" Pre-
cious lovey dovey," too
They are calling bird names sweetly by
the score.
Doubtless some day they'll develop wings
and bills from so much cooling,
And they'll be the birds to take our
place when we're no more!

chlna's overestlmated Population.

w. w. Rockhill, the newly appoint
ed American minister to China and "a
well.known eastern traveller and
author, says that the present popula-
ton of China. instead of being, as II is
usually given, nearly 45O,OOO,OOO. is
probably not much over 250,000,0oO,
The census of 1741, which Mr.. Rock
hill considers more trustworthy than
any other, shows 14S,0OO,OOO. Con
sidering the numerous devastating
famines and wars of the succeeding
$50 years, the natural annual increase
would be small. Far from heing over
populated, many portions Of China
could support a greatly increased
population.

WHY ONE is SLEEPY.
Many hypothesis Are Advanced by
the Scientists.

Inc
Scientists disagree as 10 the cause
of drowsiness. Some CURIOUS and re.
markable reasons are assigned for the
desire everybody has for sleeping. 1t
is attributed by some people to an
accumulation in the system Of the
poisonous products Of the wear and
tear of the body during the day.
There seems to be some measure OF
truth in this, for In many diseases
the patients are often sleepless An.
other hypothesis is that the nerve
cells OF the brain dwell apart from
each other. as 1t were, during sleep.
The brain is composed OF millions Of
tiny bodies called cells, each having
several delicate prolongations or
branches. for the purpose OF communi.
eating with other cells. When the
brain is fully active all these cells are
in contact, or ready to be In contact,
with one another; but the time &C.
casionally comes, 1t is thought, when
the branches of all the cells curl up,
and their isolation means that com.
plete communication between the cells
ceases. The state of body and mind
that follows is what we call sleep.
The most probable explanation Of
sleep, however, is that in some way or
other the internal condition Of the
cells is changed. partly from exhaus.
ton and partly because Of diminished
stimulation from other parts Of the
body

"A JUDGES WIFE PAW .ss y l 5HE .,,=
Quickly Cured by a Short
Course of Pe-ru-na.

NJ RS MINNIE E. McALLIsTER,
wife of Judge McAllister, writes
from 1917 West 33rd street, Minneap-
oils, Mimi, as follows:
~ suffered for years with a pain I'm
the small of my back and right side. Ii
fnferfered often with my domestic and
social duties and ! never supposed fhaf
would be cured, as fhe Doctors n1edf-
cine did nor seem 10 help me any.
Fortunately member of our Order
adviser me to try Peruna and gave IL
such high praise that | decided to try
1t. Although l started in with little
faith, | felt so much better in week
that | felt encouraged.
II took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that ] am entirely cured.
"Words fail 10 express my gratitude.
Perfect health once more Is fhe best
thing could wish for, and thanks to
Peruna, enjoy that now "
Pain in the back or on the right side.
How often physician hears this
complaint
Over and over we hear women say:
81 have paid in the small of my back.
| have pain in my right side, just be-
low the ribs"
These symptoms indicate pelvic or
abdominal catarrh.
They indicate that the bowels are not
acting properly-that the liver is out
of order-that the pelvic organs are
congested.
Pelvic catarrh-that is the name for it.
PerUna cures pelvic cafarrh, when
all OF these symptoms disappear.
The catarrh may be all in the abdom-
inal organs, when it would be properly
called abdominal catarrh.
AT any rate, it is one of those cases of
internal catarrh which can be reached
only by course of treatment with
Peruna.
We have on file thousands of testi-
monials similar to the above. II is i'm
possible here to give our readers more
than one or two specimens Of the num-
Der of grateful and commendatory let

ing in behalf of his famous catarrh
