Since tlie earliest annals of old Egypt, ,n@heat has been recognized as the king of foods. tsf ' ff
 It has held its sway down to the present day, notwithstanding the fact that in many forms of making wheat into food products, some of the best clements are lost.
 Bread has been aptly termed. the staff of life," as it alone of known foods has all the elements that are needed to sustain life.
 Egg-O-See contains all the best clements of wheat in a far more healthful and delicious form than any bread, crackers or ordinary wheat foods. In addition to tile best whole wheat delicately flaked and crushed, 1t Is made still more digestible by the addition of refined diastase, the highest grade of malt.
 There are no premiums or gih in the Egg-O-See package; noth- ing but full measure of the highest grade of cereal food i'll the world.

P. d. Armour the first never bother
ed himself over the selection of Christ
mas presents for men in his employ.
His invariable expression of good will
was a suit of clothes, and some of his
men had new suits every Christmas.
One year he asked all the men in the
office of one branch of his business to
order suits and send the bills to him.
Most of them contented themselves
with good business clothes, but one
young man decided to adorn himself
sumptuously at Mr.. Armour's expense.
He ordered himself frock coat, waist
coat and trousers that set his employer
back near a hundred dollars. Mr.. Ar
mour paid the bill, and then he sent for
the brash Solomon in all his glory.

Their Excessive Grief.

Lord Brampton related that once
while he was plain John Hawkins he
defended a man for wife murder. The
prisoners two children, dressed in
black and sobbing violently, were in
court, and their grief and the lawyers
eloquent speech combined to acQuit the
defendant. That evening at dinner he
met an old inhabitant of the neighbor-
hood, who complimented him upon his
speech. However" he added, II think
that if you had seen what l did when
driving past the prisoners cottage last
week you would not have painted the
home in such glowing colors. The little
children who sobbed so violently in
court this morning and to whom you
made such pathetic reference were
playing on an ash heap near their cot
tage, and they had a poor cat with a
string round its neck swinging back
ward and forward. and as they did so
they sang:
"This is the way poor daddy will go,
This is the way poor daddy will go!
"Such, Mr. Hawkins, was their ex-
cessive grief"

The Maine crop Is in much bet
ter shape than that of other localities.
In fact, practically no serious damage
whatever from rot has been reported
by Maine growers. Advlces from

Tucker Sasped, but for moment he
did not dare speak. When he found
words it was of casual affairs he
spoke, not of himself nor of their pre-
dicament, and presently they were
chatting as merrily as though there
had been none of the stormy scenes of
the afternoon
They were still talking when of
sudden they heard footsteps behind
them, and they sprang to their feet.
Just behind them was tall, clerical
man in blue overalls and checked cal
leo jumper.
Il hope l don't intrude," he said
quizzically.
Are you Man Friday?' demanded
Nan. You see we are Mr.. and Mrs.
Robinson Crusoe and our boat is
wrecked, or at least hope it is" she
amended viciously.
Il am sorry. Mrs. Crusoe," he said,
falling in with her humor. Il am the
Rev. Philip Hardman of Boston, sum
mering on this island with my family"
Nan gasped. why didn't you think
of looking to see if there was any one
living here?" she demanded of Dave

said defensively, ''and l supposed you

ed in explanation to the clergyman.
Mrs. Crusoc forgot to tell me about
the tide, and the boat fioated away"
Come over and have tea" suggest
cd the clergyman Hospitality, land

the hotel"
He strobe off, leading the way, and
Nan and Dave followed. Once or twice
she hummed softly to herself, and
Dave could have sworn it was the
wedding music from "Lohengrin." At
last, as he was helping her over rock
which barred her path. she held his
hand in hers as she lightly dropped be-
side him.

say he was a clergyman
Dave nodded. THE Rev. Philip
Hardman," he affirmed.
I'VE could fool that gossiping crowd,
pretending we did it on purpose"
More than ever Dave marveled at
the ways of woman, but they were
married before supper, for Dave eX-
planned to the clergyman that he was
afraid she might change her mind
again.

The Jap Baby.

How do you suppose the babies in
Japan take an airing? In baby car
riages, you say? OF course not. The
Japanese never do anything the way
we do it. When the baby's about three
days old it goes out for it's first glimpse
of the world strapped on somebody's
back, and that's the way it goes every
day till it can go on its own feet
Sometimes its mother or its nurse
takes it, but very often it rides on the
back of brother or sister, who is per-
haps not more than four or five years
old. These little nurses don't seem to
be troubled at all by their charges, as
you would suppose. They play ball
and tag and run races and fly kites in
spite of the heavy loads on their backs.
What Is more remarkable, the babies
are perfectly happy and hardly ever
cry, though when their young nurses
run with them the poor babies faces
bang back and forth against their care
takers shoulders till an American baby
would howl with pain and rage.-Ber-
tina Runkle in st. Nicholas.

MILK FEVER.
The Recent "Air vcntive

The Recent "Air Cure"-Preycnttye
at the BiItmOre IN. Co Farms.
Milk fever is Il very common and I'M
til recently frequently fatal disease
affecting COWS in all the large dairy
districts of this and other countries.
As it usually attacks the best milking
members of the herd and at a time
when the milk flow is the heaviest. the
malady is one which has caused very
severe losses to our dairy industry. 1t
Is therefore OF the greatest economic
Importance that every milk producer
Hcquaint himself with the present ex-
tremcly successful methods of treat.
Ing this disease. especially the injec
ton of filtered atmospheric air into
the udder This form of treatment has
been adopted within comparatively
recent time and with uniform success
Dr. j. K. Mohler of the bureau of ami.
NAL industry says:
"Of all known methods of treating
milk fever the injection of sterile at
mospheric air into the udder is by far
the most simple and practicable as
well as the most efticacious and harm
less one at our disposal and only oc
casionally requires that medicinal
treatment be given
The method of injecting filtered air
into the udder is easy of manipulation.
requires but little time and is readily
accomplished by means of a milk fever
apparatus. This consists of rubber bel
lows connected by rubber tubing to
metal cylinder containing absorbent
cotton impregnated with carbolic acid
or other disinfectant. To this is at
tached rubber hose, at the free end Of
which is the milking tube which is to
be placed in the teats. Air is then
pumped In, and slight massage or
kneading of the udder will cause the
innermoSt recesses of the milk tuber-
cles to become distended with the in
jected air
The most recent preventive treat
ment, according to DR.. Mohler, is in
line with the favorable results obtained
by the injection of air into the udder.
1t consists in allowing the susceptible
COW to retain in the udder for twenty
four hours after calving all the milk
except the small quantity required by
the calf, which should be taken if pos
sible from each quarter. The disten-
ton Of the udder naturally follows, as
in the air treatment, and acts as pre-
ventive against milk fever. In the is
land of Jersey and at the Biltmore
farms, North Carolina, where this prac-
tice is common, the number of milk fe-
yer cases has been greatly lessened
General sanitary conditions should al
so be looked after, such as the supply
Of pure air and clean stabling, with
plenty of clear cool water and laxative
foods, such as grasses and roots.

Too Much Exercise.

A man may exercise himself into
uselessness. So much has been said In
recent years of the Importance Of ex-
ercise that every one admits it save
now and then a wag, like Senator
Evarts of New York, who once said
that he owed his long life and good
health to the fact that he never took
any exercise. Many a youth in taking
the exercise that pleases him discovers
that he has great skill at tennis or
baseball, bicycle racing or foot racing,
hurdle jumping or handsprings, and
the temptation is strong to neglect
other matters for the development Of
the particular physical facility with
which he may be endowed. When he
yields he usually degenerates into a
professional athlete. Physical develop
ment becomes the end Of his endeavor,
when it should be merely help in flt-

Monocles In the English Army.

About a century ago British army
order was issued forbidding officers to
wear eyeglasses or spectacles. But a
shortsighted officer belonging to a
crack cavalry regiment had no mind to
resign his commission or stumble bad
ly, and he invented the single eyeglass.
When called to account by the authori-
ties he claimed that the monocle. being
of the singular number, did not contra
vene the order against spectacles and
glasses in the plural. Red tape accept
ed this literal rendering of the law,
and, becoming popular in the British
army, the monocle was adopted by CT
william beaus.
