PERSIAN BOY WIDE AWAKE.
British Diplomat Relates an Instance
of His Acute Obser-
walton.

Sir Mortimer Durand, the British am.
bassador at Washington, is student OF
child life, and wherever he is stationed
he never fails to gather some interesting
data about the manners and methods OF
the juvenile population. He has found
infinite amusement in observing the
street gamin of New York, particularly
the vendors of papers. and even in the
staid and quiet American capital the
diplomat has discovered young arabs to
study.
But Sir Mortimer gives the palm fol
infantile intelligence to the little folks
of Persia. For many years the present
envoy to the United States represented
the kingdom of Great Britain at Teheran
and he is loud in praises of the modern
descendants of the fire worshipers. Sir
Mortimer has embodied his impressions
of Persia in clever book, and Lady Du-
rand, his wife, has written a dainty
sketch called Dairy of Travels in
Southern Persia" Both volumes show
deep sympathy and intimate knowledge
of the people and pay high tributes to
the qualities of the children of Iran.
The other day. however, the British
ambassador told some friends an anec-
date not included in his memoirs. One
day the British folks determined on a
picnic and the cook was told to get up a
luncheon. That functionary is as i'm
portant in Teheran as he is elsewhere on
earth, and he told Milford that his chill
dren would pack the baskets-that they
knew the ways of the British just as well
as he. Sir Mortimer was willing and a
tempting array of sandwiches and fruits
was set forth when luncheon time ar
rived.
Sir Mortimer himself unpacked the
drinkables, in which claret and brandy
figured, and securely tied to each bottle
was a package of peppermint drops.
bought of the English druggist in Te-
heran. Sir Mortimer says he felt very
uncomfortable for time to think how
carefully those youngsters had studied
his ways.

TWO CLASSES OF OAK TREE
One Notable for Its Wood, the Other
for Its Brilliancy of Col
oring.

The great oak family might be divided
into two classes, writes Edwin w. Fos-
ter, in Our Friends, the Trees" in st.
Nicholas; those that ripen their acorns
in one season, such as the white, post
and mossy-cup oaks, and those which re-
Quire two full years, such as the red, scar
let and black oaks. To the first class
belong the chestnut oak and the live oak
of the south. This latter tree for gener-
atoms played an important part in ship
building, but has now been superseded
by iron and steel. The leaf, which is an
evergreen, is entirely without indenta-
lions, and is thick and leathery. The
wood is very heavy and strong, has a
beautiful grain, and is susceptible of TAX
ing high polish. AT one time this woou
was so valuable that our government
paid 100000 for large tracts of land in
the south, that our navy might be sure
of a supply of live oak timber.
To the second class of oaks we are
largely indebted for the gorgeous colors
of our autumn leaves. The red scarlet
and pin oaks, with their brilliant reds,
scarlets and browns, are close COMPETE
tors with the maple in giving our Amer
lean landscapes the most wonderful au-
tumn colorings to be found anywhere in
the world. These three trees are quite
similar, but by careful examination may
always be distinguished.

That the people of the Pacific slope
appreciate the qualities and character
istics of New Englanders is shown by the
writings of Helen n. Packard, cores
pendent of the New England society of
Oregon. She says;
"To the hardy men Of New England
and the restless spirit of adventure which
is their birthright, must be attributed in
large degree the successful coloniZing of
the Northwest and particularly of Oregon
and Portland. Years before the long
war for American independence was
brought to a successful issue, the hardy
sailors of new England had dreamed
dreams and seen visions of a fair country
on the sunset slope, whose waters teemed
with fish, whose hills were rich with
auriferous soil and whose densely wooded
slopes were the haunts of the smaller fur
bearing animals"
While giving due credit to the men of
other localities who have helped to up
build the Northwest it is still true that it
is mainly New England blood, bone and
sinew which have made the Pacific slope
what it is today. While the early pio-
neers have passed on TO their rest their
works do follow them," and many of the
foremost men, active in business and
professional life are natives of New Eng
land, and hundreds of others born and
reared in the prairie states of the Middle
West are of New England descent, and
are proud of their ancestory.

WHERE DISEASE GERMS BREED.
No Need to Fear Germs if the Stomach Be
Healthy
Healthy.

The ideal breeding place for dis
ease germs is weak stomach and
digestive system. The food, instead of
being assimilated, turns into a sour,
Shiny, fermenting mass, causing gases,
distress after eating, bloating, nausea
and fatulency. The poisonous germs
that are given off from this undi-
gested food enter the blood, and PIN
pies, boils, and blotched skin is the
result. Nervousness and sleeplessness
come more often from weakened di-
gestion than from any other one cause.
rheumatism and govt are directly
caused by an acid condition of the
stomach.
No ordinary food digestive can give
lasting relief. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary, if one wishes to be well, to use
Mi-o-na, the only known remedy that
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1905-06-02

soothes and heals the mucous men,
brane of the stomach and digestive
tract, stimulates the solar-plexus, and
strengthens the nerves of the stomach.
This remarkable remedy puts the
whole digestive system in so healthy,
clean and sweet a state that fermen-
tation of the food cannot exist, any
disease germs in the stomach will be
destroyed, and all food will be SO well
9ssimilated that a rapid and healthy
increase in weight will quickly re"
suit.
Mi-o-na is a guaranteed cure for
all diseases of the stomach, excepting
cancer, guarantee being given by w.
II. Sheldon with every package he sells,

then, while still in possession Of his

even after the terrible self inflicted
wounds still retained strength enough
to motion his wife away when she tried

The announcement that President

situation at New Orleans created
great satisfaction, though in, some Sec
tons there is some disappointment at

orally is, however, that confidence OUT
side of Louisiana was so completely
lacking in the local health authorities
that unless the interposition of the

no expectation Of relaxation Of Sc
