A Judicious Inquiry.

A we'll known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he often
heard druggists inquire of customers
who asked for cough medicines
whether it was wanted for child or
an adult, and if for child they almost
invariably recommended Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. The reason
for this 10 that they know there is no
danger from it and that IL always
cures. There is not tho least danger
in giving it. and for coughs. colds

Protect the Bison.

Ten million buffalo in 1865, 1000 in 1905, says Recreation. Twenty years ago the black, shaggy bison of the great west would have sufficed for procession, two abreast, reaching from Point Barrow to the Straits of Magel Ian, while today the surviving rem napt would barely reach around two city blocks.
 But what is past is past; it will be infinitely more profitable if we take counsel and decide what we shall do to protect the buffalo that remain, rather than spend our days in grieving for animals slain by generation that has nearly passed away. The one hopeful phase of the situation is the slight in crease in number of buffalo during the last decade, for it encourages the be. lief that, with adequate protection and skillful handling, the species may even yet become numerous.
 The buffalo breeds freely in cap tivity, and, when well fed and allowed ample liberty, seems unaffected by in- breeding. It is, therefore, quite possi- ble that were a sufficient number gath cred together in suitable range, pro- tected and left to lead natural life, instead of hundreds, in a generation or two there will be thousands.

THE TIME WILL COME.

When the churches will not be closed as long as the saloons are open.
 When to get rich by making others poorer will be considered q disgrace.
 When the same standard of morality will be demanded of men as of women. by causing pain or taking the life of in nocent, dumb creatures will be consid- cred a barbarian.
 When all hatred, revenge and jealousy will be regarded as boomerangs which infict upon the thrower the injury in tended for others.
 When the world will have everything to sell and nothing to give, and the price it demands will be the best service the purchaser can render the race.
 When it will be found that repression and punishment are not reformative, and cur prisons will be transformed into great educative and character building institutions.
 When no man will be allowed to say that the world owes him a living, since the world owes him nothing that he should not pay for; it owes living only to cripples, invalids, and all others who cannot, through some misfortune, help themselves.
 When the "best society" will consist of men and women of brains, culture and achievement rather than those whose chief merit and distinction lie in the possession of unearned fortunes which they make it the business of their lives to squander.-Success Magazine.

Power to ocean Waves.

At the international engineering con. gross held in St. Louis, some unusual figures were given on the subject of the height and power of ocean waves, particularly as regards their effect upon harbOr works. says the Scientific American. In the course of a paper dealing with the new Dover harbor, it was stated that since these works have been in progress, no wave of a greater height than fifteen feet has been recorded-a fact which will be very surprising to those who have ex- perienced the miseries of the Dover. Calais passage. The fact is the more remarkable because at the entrance to the Tyne waves from thirty-five to for ty feet high have been measured and the last-named height has also been observed at Peterhead.
 In dwelling upon the necessity for what are known as spending beaches and wave traps, for dissipating and controlling wave action, it was stated that the depth to which the later extends is now known to be much greater than once commonly supposed. Proof of this is shown by the fact that lobster pots placed in from 120 to 1S0 feet of water have been found to be filled with sand and shingle after a heavy gale; moreover, sand had been found deposited after heavy gale in the gallery of the Bishop Rock light house, the latter being 120 feet above the water and the depth of the water at that point 150 feet.
 That the water, even at considerable depths, must be moving during a gale with great momentum is shown by the fact that at the Peterhead breakwater blocks weighing forty-one tons and To- cated over thirty-six feet below spring tide, low water, were displaced during a storm, while section of the break water weighing $500 tons was moved bodily for a few inches without the brickwork being dislocated.

WAS A VERY AsTUTE LION,
Ate Superiors of Kind Lieutenant, Who

Ate Superiors of Kind Lieutenant, Who
 Thereby Became a Colonel.
 John Burroughs, the naturalist, was laughing about the story, widely pub lished not long since, of wild duck that got salt water mussel on it's tongue and had intelligence enough to fly from the salt to the fresh water, where 1t dipped the mussel, sickenlng 1t through osmosis, and thus causing 1t to loosen its firm grip.
 q believe that story of the duck that understood the theory of osmosis," said MT. Burroughs. II believe 1t as Implicitly as I believe the story of the crippled lion and the young lieuten- ant.
 Perhaps you have heard this story? No? Well, then:
 "A young lieutenant, during an Af- rican campaign, came one day upon badly crippled lion. The great brute limped over the tawny sand on three paws, holding its fourth paw in the air. And every now and then, with hiHu ol Broaii, IL WOulu pduSe uuu lick the injured paw.
 "When the lion saw the young lieu tenant it came slowly toward him. He stood his ground, rife in hand. But the beast meant no harm. It drew close to him; it rubbed against him with soft, feline purrs; it extended its hurt paw.
 "The lieutenant examined the paw, and found that there was large thorn fin it. He extracted the thorn, the lion roaring with pain, and he bound up the wound with his handkerchief. Then, with every manifestation of re- lief and gratitude, the animal with drew.
 But it remembered It's benefactor. It was grateful. And in a practical way it rewarded the young man.
 "This lion ran over the regiments list of officers, and ate all who were the lieutenant's superior in rank. Thus, in few weeks, the young man, thanks to the astute animal, became a colo nel."

ABOUT ANIMALS wANDERINos.
Rats the Most MiRratory-LemminR
 Race with Death.

Race with Deatns
 The fable of the country mouse and the town mouse has foundation in fact. Mice occasionally migrate in large numbers when food grows scarce and travel considerable distances to get fresh houses. Farmers in part of Perthshire, says London Answers, had good reason to become aware of this fact when, couple of years ago, vast swarms of mice invaded their corn fields at harvest time.
 But the mouse only travels when 1t has to. The rat, on the contrary, seems to take yearly outing, in very much the same fashion as do human beings. Rats are the most migratory creatures in the world. Whole troops. of rats leave the towns at the end of summer and spend month or two in the coun- try, apparently in order to enjoy the change of food which the country af- lords at that time of the year in the way of fresh fruit and grain. Before the cold weather sets in they are all back in their old quarters.
 Reindeer migrate with the same reg ularity as swallows. They move south when winter sets in, but as soon as ever the snow begins to melt they travel steadily north, sometimes for as much as 1000 miles.
 To end holiday by deliberate sui eide is so strange phenomenon that for long time naturalists looked upon the stories of the migration of the Jennings as an improbable fiction Yet the facts are beyond dispute. At irregular intervals these rat-like crea- lures start out from their homes in the fastnesses of northern Scandinavia in huge droves, numbering tens of thous- ands, and travel steadily southwark Death pursues them in hundred forms. Hawks and other birds of prey hover above them. Foxes, wolves and man decimate them. Thousands are drowned in rivers. Yet the rest strug- gle on until they reach the sea. They do not stop. They plunge in, swim out and struggle on, until at last their strength fails and they drown. Not one ever returns from this journey of death.

Success and Failure.

Most of you, dare say, have heard of George Ade. Here is little story of him. At recent banquet he was asked to speak on success.
 q suppose that failure is more fa- miliar than success to all of us," he said. "We work away. Four things fail. The fifth thing succeeds. The hardest workers have the most fail ures, but then they have the most suc- cesses, too.
 One of my early failures was a melodrama that travelled all the way from Chicago to New York to sell to a manager. This was in my youth, when I had confidence in myself. The manager returned my melodrama. He said he didn't care for it.
 q pointed out the merits in it which he had overlooked. I proved that he would make great mistake if he should not accept this work. But he shook his head.
 "'Can't you use it at allT I asked despairingly.
 "'Well,' said he, T might grind 1t up and use 1t for snowstOrm.' '"- Bertrand in Boston Globe.

Superstition in Devonshire.

Devonshire is known to the world for it's superstitious usages, which defy all efforts to uproot them. To name only one example, when person dies all the relatives must touch the body or they will be haunted by the ghost of the dead forever after. A super stition not so local in it's observance is that of beginning no task on Fri day. The writer recently encountered a girl who, receiving notice to change from one room to another on Friday, insisted upon doing it on the Thursday instead. But the most curious in- stance of superstition-and this, too, is met much nearer home than Devon is surely that which prescribes that when. say, a domestic servant has broken piece of crockery, she is bound by fate to break two other pieces. So far is this idea carried that the writer knows case where flower pots are kept for the special purpose of being broken to appease the fates! Charles Dickens, however, who died thirty-tive years ago, noted that all good things had come to him on a Friday!-London Chronicle.

Force of Heredity.

Sylvester, aged nine, had been so in- terested in simple lesson in what words mean and how they may be as- sociated with others that for days he had been thinking out some for him. self, and usually he was not far from right.
 Then one morning, after period of deep thought, he astounded his mother with this: "Mudder, is it because little 'Injun kids are Injuns that they walk bow-legged and like arrowroot?"

Metric Photography.

M. Bertillon, of anthropometry fame among the police of the world, has just conferred lasting boon upon photography. The taking of photo- graph which should reproduce dimen- sions and distance with any approach to precision has long been almost de- spaired of by experts. The problem, however, has been solved by M. Ber- tillon. He has just perfected an ap- paratus and process which he names metric photography. By this method dimensions, spaces, distances and the relative forms and positions represent ed on the negative can be determined with the greatest exactitude.

Improved Mail-Bag Catcher.
 A recent patented invention for this purpose is most ingenious and effec- tive. Upon vertical post set in the rOadbed, and provided with brackets, two horizontal arms are pivoted, the lower one of which is spring ng-controlled. These arms support between them the mailbag holder, which consists pri- marily of two swinging members, sep arately hinged together by the pecu- liar form of hinge Attached to the two parts of the holder is a flexible connection such as leather, the purpose of which is to hold the two parts in alignment when not under strong pres sure. When the arm of the car comes into contact with the mail sack, the joint formed by the hinged parts is broken. The parts separate and the bag is swept into the car.

READING MOST PROMINENT

NEW YORK, Sept 2O.-Throughout
the stock exchange no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION has been offered of the sud-
den change in the aspect of the market.
1t has not only been remarkably strong.
but 1t included a largely increased
number of stocks.
Reading has been about the most
prominent stock.
The market was strong from the
opening. with the most important point
the continued scarcity of floating stock.
This scarcity was the dominating in
flueace, too. in London.
The Western speculative element sold
rs, coo shares before the close yesterday,
but found their offers so well and easily
taken that they made some hurried pur-
chases on London stock exchange just
before our opening, and followed Up
their London buying with urgent buying
in this market.
The buying of Reading was i'm
pressive. 1t was supposed in the
crowd that some one had advance fig
ures from the annual report, which,
II is understood. will make a very
favorable showing and be used as a
reason for a further upward move
ment. The buying of New York Cen
trail around the room continued. Great
Northern preferred rose Ia to 324 "a
Government bonds were unchanged
other bonds steady.
