A Critic Squelched.

They were discussing a mutual
friend as they were waiting for their
soup.
"Yes," nodded one, "he's well mean
ing, as you say, and you don't know
what there is about him that CRATES
on you-gets onto your nerves. I'll
tell you, if you'll let me. He has two
~disagreeable habits, and they're very
common habits. He's of1cious, and he
anticipates you. By officious I mean
that he makes a parade Of whatever
he happens to be doing; he shows off
his hospitality, for n thing. For ex-
ample, if he invites you to take a
meal with him he let's everybody with
in a block and a half know that he's
doing the honors and paying the bills.
He makes a kind of sideshow of you,
and then 'barks' for himself. He does
it unconsciously, but it's Objectionable
Just the same.
"And then, as I said, he anticipates
you. 1 like a good listener, and there
are precious few of them unless
they're listening to themselves. But I
don't like a mind-reader, a fellow who
knows what card you are going to play
and exactly what you're going to say.
Crandall's one of that kind. You can
tell by his expression and the shaking
of his head and the movements of his
lips that he can guess where you're
coming out, and he agrees with you or
1issents long before you're through
with your sentence or story. I always
feel like leaning back and telling him
to take it and go on with it-wind it
up for me-"
unless he likes work, perhaps he
wouldn't thank you for the privilege"
drawled the other. you're pretty
fluent at times."-Providence Journal.

Greeley Peculiarities.

William Barnes, ST., of Albany, was
a very old and intimate friend Of Hor-
ace Greeley.
.'AIr. Greeley" said he the other day,
twas peculiar in every relation of life
except when he had a pen in his hand
and a reform to write about. Then
his head was level.
"His wife was just as peculiar as he
was. They had one son, Pickey, who
died young. Mrs. Greeley never per-
mitted the boy to eat flesh or to know
that animals were killed for food.
Mrs. Greeley was as earnest a re-
former as Mr.. Greeley, and as indiffer-
ent as he to the conventionalities of
life. Mr.. Greeley took me up to the
house onee to dinner, and I noticed the
-four barrel standing in the front hall.
There was a trail Of flour from the
place where it stood u into the kitch-
en-. l thought perhaps it had just
come in and they had not had time
to move it. But, happening to pass 1t,
| saw that it was nearly empty. The
delivery man had set it down in the
hall, and it had never occurred to
either of them to move it into the
kitchen."-New York Press.

Gerrnanx,s Sailor Machine.

The British Vice-Consul at Bremen
haven has reported to his Foreign Of
fee on German Sea Fishing" He
says that the German Government
spends 10000 pounds a year for the
benefit and encouragement of sea fish
ing, and contributes about 1000 pounds
a year toward the expenses of the Ger
man Sea Fishery Association. Own
ers of sailing smacks for the herring
fishery receive a building subvention
of from 200 pounds to 250 pounds, be-
sides a further sum for the purchase
of nets and gear. There is also a fund
from which owners of steam trawlers
are recompensed for damage to and
loss of men. Five thousand pounds is
the amount to be contributed by the
German Government for losses in this
respect sustained during 1904.
The effect Of this policy is that while
in 1900 the German fishing fleet con
sisted of 564 vessels and 3795 men, in
1904 there were 623 vessels and 5039
men. The additions to the feet this
year are likely to equal those of the
last four years. 1t is interesting to
note that the motor fishing boat is
being adopted by Germans for their
fishing fleets.
The following paragraph reveals the
cause of Germany's generosity:
"The encouragement given by the
Government to the fishing industry is
considered to be partly due to a recog-
milton of the prospective value Of the
material available for the manning OF
the navy"

plenty of warning in that bearing down

womb or irregularities. All OF these
symptoms are indications of an I'M

Adams,o of the Colonnade Hotel, Seattle,

Dear Mrs. Pinkhaln:-
"About two years ago I was a great suf-
ferer from a severe female trouble, pains and
headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and
finally told me that | had a tumor on the
womb and must undergo an operation if |
wanted TO get well. [ felt that this was my
death warrant, but l spent hundreds of dol
lars for medical help, but the tumor Kept
growing. Fortunately [ corresponded with
an aunt in the New England States, and she
advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etablo Compound, as it was said to cure tu-
mors. l did so and Immediately began to
improve in health, and | was entirely cured,
the tumor disappearing entirely, without an
operation. I wish every suffering woman
would try this great preparation"

cured of the troubles enumerated in
her letter, just SO surely will Lydia e.

AN INDIAN FISH STORY.
Legend That Has Been Transmitted
Through Generations OF Rcd Men.

Through generations Oh heo MEN,
MI. Fred S~windlehurst, in the Jour-
nal of American Folklore, tells a
number of stories which he heard un-
der singular circumstances among the
Cree Indians on the shores of James
Bay, near the mouth of Pontiac's
Creek. A group of these Indians were
seated about a blazing camp fire, silent
and moody, enjoying their evening
smoke. 1t was o cold and dark night
in autumn. Suddenly n Of the men
began to relate a story. At first his
voice was low and agreeable, but
when he came to adventures of war
his tones rose and his gestures grew
violent. The audience listened to his
tales with no sign of incredulity, and
occasionally grunted approval. 1t
seems that these stories are told only
in the autumn, and that 1t is supposed
to bring bad luck if they are told at
any other season. Apparently the pro-
verbal fish story is common to the
whole genus humanum. We quote Mr..
Swindlehurst's record Of "ABig Perch"
story with his comment:
"Some Indian hunters were camped
along the shores Of Lake Mistassini.
AS fish and game were plentiful they
were happy and contented. One even
ing they missed one Of their number,
and though they searched everywhere
could not find him. They had many
days given him up for dead, when he
surprised them by calmly walking into
camp. On their asking him where he
had been he told the following story:
THAT night you lost me I was at
the bottom of the lake, where I saw all
kinds OF fish, some pretty, some ugly,
and some savage. There was one
perch so large that he could not turn
around in the lake, but had to swim
up and down without turning"
The above story has been handed
down from father to son, and even to-
day Indians refer to the "big perch"
just as seriously as if it really existed.
Lake Mistassini is 100 miles long and
twenty miles wide, so the legend far
eclipses the white mans story of the
sea serpent.-New York Evening Post.

PASSING OF PoRRlDCs.

Briton from Huntsville, Ont. This was

"One month ago." she continues. II
bought a package of Grape-Nuts food
for my husband, who had been an in
valid for over a year. He had passed
through a severe attack of pneumonia
and la grippe combined. and was left
in a very bad condition when they
passed away.
II tried everything for his benefit,
but nothing seemed to do him any
good. Month followed month and he
still remained as weak as ever. I was
almost discouraged about him when |
got the Grape-Nuts, but the result has
compensated me for my anxiety.
"In the one month that he has eaten
Grape-Nuts he has gained 10 pounds
in weight, his strength is rapidly re-
turning to him, and he feels like a new
man. Now we all eat Grape-Nuts food
and are the better for it. Our little s.
year-old boy, who used to suffer from
pains in the stomach after eating the
old-fashioned porridge, has no more
trouble since he began to use Grape
Nuts, and I have no more doctors bills
to pay for him.
I'VE use Grape-Nuts with only sweet
cream, and find it the most tasty dish
in our bill Of fare.
Last Monday I ate 4 teaspoonfuls of
Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast.

A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
OF the summer months to guard again
st bowel troubles. AS a rule it is on
ly necessary to give the child a dose
of castor oil to correct any disorder
of the bowels. Do not use any substi-
tute but use the old fashioned castor
oil, and see that it is fresh, as rancid
oil n~auseates and has a tendency to
grippe. If it does not check the bowels
give Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose
of castor oil, and the disease may be
checked in its incipiency all dan
ger avoided. The castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once
n kept ready for instant use as soon
as the first indication of any bowel
trouble appears. This is the most sue
cessful treatment known and may be
relied upon with implicit confidence
wen in cases Of cholera infantum.
