bons and the sharp beak of the bird
made cruel cuts in his legs and the
lower part of his back. As it stood
up the condor's head reached far
above his waist line. and the battle
in the face of SO powerful and SO
heavy a bird was no light one.
At length, however, he succeeded
in picking up his rife, and. clubbing
it, struck the bird a powerful blow
alongside the head. Even the vuIture
could not stand such a blow as this
and fell over dead or dying in the
same little gully from which Gopher
had Just craWled.
Gopher was utterly exhausted by
the fight, and. after long rest,
dragged himself into camp with a
quarter of the Yenison for which he
had batt1ed with the bird. Next day
the successful hunter returned with
the other members of the party to
the scene of the battle and there found
the condor, quite dead, beside the
deer.
From wing tip to wing tip the bird
measured Ii feeL anu IncneS, one
of the largest Of its kind ever killed
and larger than the famous condors
of the Andes, which are supposed to
be the biggest birds that fly anywhere
on earth.
In height this bird was exactly four
feet; its beak was i've inches long,
and each one OF its talons measured
three inches. It's weight was a tribe
less than 100 pounds.

A good ripe, raw apple is enc of

commodated in 50 minutes. There
are medicinal properties in the acid
Of the apple that are not found any

they do to eliminate from the body
noxious matters that retained make
the brain heavy and dull or bring On
iaundice and skin eruptions.
The apple also contains a larger
percentage Of phosphorus than any
other fruit or vegetable, and this is
admirably adapted for renewing the
essential nervous matter of the brain
and spinal cord. It is perhaps for this
reason, though but rude1y understood,
that the old Scandinavian traditions
represented the apple as the food of
the gods who, feeling themselves to
be growing feeble or old, resorted to
this fruit to renew their powers of
body or mind. The custom of eating
apple sauce with roast pork, goose
and like dishes has sound hygienic
reason behind it, the malic acid Of
ripe apples, either raw or cooked.

sort OF air Of proprietorship about the
place that somehow makes itself mani
fest. Some Of our most successful
business business men have started in
by owning small cheap house. In
some Instances additions have been
made later, but very often the little
property is sold Or traded for a more
pretentieus one in few years time.
Young folks commencing in this way
never forget their early years of mar
ried life in the little cottage home.
Children are born there and they first
toddle off to school from the little
house, and the children never forget
ii. Pleasant home surroundings give
a child a start in life that is lasting
and valuable.
Such little houses may be made
very attractive by using good judg-
meat in the furnishings. But few ar
tfcles Of furniture are absolutely nee
essary for small family. It is a
great mistake to furnish up house
for the reception of company. It is SO
much better to buy what you really
need and put some thought and care
in the purchase. One good solid ar

IKE this occupied by two young per-
sons Of frugal tastes who are suited
to each other and have many things
IN common to enjoy together. The
greatest happiness in this life is not
from the front end Of the brown stone
mansion. Mayor Jones, of Toledo,
once said: There is more enjoyment
n the servants quarters in those big
stone houses than there is in the par

IN both ends of them" In his subse-
quent remarks he told what earefree
Tun the help had when he was doing
chores for q living and attending
night school. They had the best of
owner and they had no anxiety. While
Mayor Jones probably was right, in a
way, the fact remains that the desire
to own home is born with every one
and life is never complete until this
desire is satisfied. The trouble with
most OF us is we are not satisfied to
commence IN a small way. The son

The MEANING of Beauty.

To have the manners of the we'll
bred women, to move about with grace
and dignity, to know poise, character,
honesty and deep sympathy, these are
the finer lines Of beautifying. Who
cares cent for the dolly woman who
is beautiful to look at and who hasn't
sense enough to draw her breath?
Such women are not after the right
idea, and true beauty will never place
its golden halo on their heads. Per
sonal magnetism makes women beat
tiful, and what is that but the free
workings of a genuinely lovely spirit2
Perfume the inside of your head with
tender thoughts, keep your body
strong, well and clean, make up your
mind to learn everything you can, and
If you do not look beautiful you will
be so-and that will suffice.
