Port Arthur, details the Japanese at
tack of December 81 and concludes as
follows: I'VE shall be obliged TO cap

Of God. We have suffered fearful
losses. Great sovereign. pardon US.
We have done everything humanity
possible. Judge us. but be mercifu.
Nearly eleven months of uninterrupt-

one-quarter of the garrison is alive
and of this number the majority are
sick and being obliged TO act on the
defensive without even short intervals

WHY WE GROW OLD.

Sickness Is Result Of Ignorance and

We grow old because we do not
known enough to keep young just as
we become sick and diseased because
we do not know enough to keep well.
says Orison SWEET Marden in Success.
Sickness Is a result Of ignorance and
wrong thinking. The time will come
when a man will no more harbor
thoughts that will make him weak or
sick than he would think of putting
his hands into fire. No man can be
sick IL he always has right thoughts
and takes ordinary care of his body.
II he will think only youthful thoughts
he can maintain his youth far beyond
the usual period
II you would "be young when old"
adopt the sundial's motto: II record
none but hours of sunshine" Never
mind the dark or Swallowed hours.
Forget the unpleasant, unhappy days.
Remember only the days Of rich ex-
periences, let the others drop into
oblivion.
1t Is said that "long llvers are great
hopers." If you keep your hope bright
in spite Of Heterogeneous, and meet
all difficulties with a cheerful face, ii
will be very difficult for age to trace
its burrows on your brow. There Is

Sand Aids Digestion.

Sand as a digestive for human
being, seems a curious idea, but it
was recommended in paper read be-
fore the Society for the Promotion OF
Health. To quote from the journal:
What we all need" says the gentle
doctor, sis grit-the real grit that is
furnished by he silica in the sand. To
get that we must swallow little clean
sand every day with out meals. The
presence of the grit will assist in the
grinding process, and our food. in
stead of distressing us, will nourish
and cheer us. Six fve-grain capsules
OF pure sand should be takon with
each meal"

Oddly OF the Congo Valley.

A popularity of the southern part
Of the Congo valley is tina: one side
of the hills is usually bare, the other
covered with thick vegetation. This
difference is due to the fact that one
side gets little moisture while the
other Is dampened by fogs blown
against it every morning. The natives
often shave off the hair from one side
of their heads, the effect presenting
the same appearance as the hills of
the country.
