People look upon the drug busi-
ness us n gold mine, but this is a
mistake; there is lots of money tied

Bottles for babies date back to re-
mote antiquity. Most people are OF the
opinion that feeding bottles for babies
must be an invention OF modern times.
According to Professor MosDy, now
ever, this is not the case. This gentle
man, who was lecturing before al ;s..tl-
ouarian society, stated that 1t was the
custom among the Greeks for the
nurses to carry sponge fns OF honey
in small pot to stop children i'o.i
crying. The professor went Gu to sl.'
that there are two Greek vases III thc
British museum dating from .0i Il. L.
which closely resemble tic feeding bot
ties used subsequently by the Romans.
In tile old oman cemetery of st. Sep
ulcher, Cal. tertiary, Il feeding bottle
of bright rod polished Ware WAS dug
I'D in 1861, and Professor Mosby came
to the conclusion that this bottle must
have been buried with the little 10,
man child to whose wants 1t had MILL
istered during the child's lifetime.

Reams of advice are unloaded upon
woman telling, instructing and admon-
ishing her how to make home pleasant,
so that the lord and master may find
comfort therein. SO, then, why should
not some advice be given to the said
lord and master? For verify there Is
more than one Of them who make
home mighty unpleasant. There is the
man who does not realize that 1t takes
money to make home pleasant. There
Is the man who does not realize that
his wife needs recreation and outside
amusement once in awhile, so that she
can continue to make home pleasant.
There Is the man who does not realize
that silence and grumpiness and Il

A BIT of OrntOry.

There was time when our commerce
was carried in American ships manned
by American seamen. There was a
time when the flag floated over Ameri-
can cargoes and when its bright. beau
tiful stars and emblematic stripes en-
livened every sea and port where COM
meIce was known. The American,
looking out on the broad ocean, behcld
it in tie orient and in tie occidcnt.

Or swayed where the soft magnolias

his own native land, whose sons re-
sembed in their strength the gnarled
oak of her deepest forests and whose
daughters rivaled in their beauty and
loveliness the orange blossoms of her
most fragrant orange groves.-F'rom a

INn1GrsTION CURED.

There is no case of indigestion, Dys.
pepsia, or Stomach Trouble that will not
Weld to the digestive and strengthening
influence Of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. This
remedy takes the strain of the stomach
by digesting what you eat and allowing
It to rest until 1t grows strong again:
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure affords quick and
permanent relief from Indigestion and
all stomach troubles, builds up the
system and so purifies that disease can
not attack and gain foothold as when
in q weakened condition. The constant
ly increasing use of Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure by physicians of hospital and
general practice of itself tells how this
most wonderful modern discovery has
proven to be the greatest digestant for
the alienation of q suffering humanity.
Its many cures of both children and
adults grows larger day by day. Sold

snnl.es Are Great Fasters.

Snakes, though ut times they gorge
themselves, are great fasters. In the
French museum an anaconda twenty
feet long was very small feeder,
though he gained in weight. Taken
there in 1885, he had only thirty-four
meals during the next five years, con-
sisting of small goat or few rab-
bits. The interval ctween these meals
varied from twenty-three to 2Oi days.
He would not touch food unless he was
in real need of it. and 1t was only by
watching him and noticing when he
seemed to he uneasy that his keepers
could conclude that he was hungry.
During the long fast, which was in
1886, many strenuous efforts were
made to tempt or force him to eat with
out the least success.

Looking One In the Eyes.

There Is Il venerable specimen OF
oroverbial philosophy which says that
The man who cannot look you in the
face is dishonest. No other saying has
received greater currency. 1t strikes
the popular mind with automatic force,
and vet it Is not a .eliable test of char
ucter Every confidence man who sue
ceeds in his calling has the steady gaze
Of the immaculate person. No person
who is skilled in the fine art of decep-
ton fails to take an obvious precaution
to impress his dupes. On the other
hand, many persons Of unquestionaDle
integrity are put out Of countenance'
by mere shynasS So morbidly was this
trait developed in thu ease OF Haw-
thorne, In his earlier years at least, that
he would go out of his way to avoid
meeting those who desired to converse
with him. 1t would lie impossible for
such man to cash forged check, to
borrow money from Il ba..k on bogus
collateral.

Forcing n Cause.

In "Dueling Stories of the Sixteenth
Century" Brantone. French writer.
tells Of an incident that happened In
Italy and that illustrates the ethical
aspects of the medieval dueling. One
Of the combatants had a very bad
cause and knew it. But Il brilliant
idea occurred to him for turning it
into good one. Having confronted
his enemy. when they were just about
to cross swords he pretended to be
afraid turned his back on his foe and
ran away. The enemy, falling guile
lessly into the trap, ran after him, eX-
claiming in his eXultation, "IIa, cow
ard. thou iliest" The supposed cow
ard turned upon him instantly, crying:
"You lie! Now I've got good cause.
