Origin of the Name .pu...

A great many years ago the people of Egypt, who had many idols, wor- shiped the cat among others They thought she was like the moon because she was more active at night and be- cause her eyes changed like the moon, which is sometimes full and at other times only light crescent, or, as we say, half moon. Did you ever notice pussy's eyes change? So they made an idol of a eats head and named it Pasht. The same name they gave to the moon. for the word means the face of the moon.
 The word has been changed to "Pas' and "Pus' and has come at last to be Fuss" the name the most of us give to the cat. Fuss and pussy cat are pet names for kitty anywhere now. Who ever thinks of the name as given to her thousands of years ago and the people who then bowed down and prayed to her?

to cause it to spin steadily upon this delicate support: Cut two corks down the middle, and in the ends of the four halves thus obtained insert forks in- clined to the smooth sides of the corks at little less than right angles. Place these four corks, as ill the illustration, around the rim of the plate at equal distances from one another and see that the teeth of the forks are in con- tact with the rim to prevent them from swaying.
 With little care this plate can now be balanced on the point of needle whose eye has been buried in the cork of an upright bottle. By giving it a gentle rotary motion the plate may be made to spin around. which it will do for quite long time.

HOW BRUlN LOST HIS TAIL.
The Smart Trick That a Cunning Fox
 Played on q Bear.

The Smart Trick That a Cunning Fox
 Played on Bear.
 The bear is not as smart as his friend, the fox. Long, long ago the bear used to have long tail. but one winters day he met his friend, the fox. who sat on the bank of a river. just finishing meal of fish.
 "Give me some," said the bear, flor I am hungry"
 "That was all I had," said the fox. swallowing very fast. "but if you will give me some honey the next time you find some I will tell you how to get the fish,"
 ''I will," said the bear.
 Then the fox told him to go to the river and cut a hole in the ice, drop his tail in and wait for bite.
 So the bear went to the river and did just as he was told. Shortly after he had stuck his tail in it turned very cold and began to freeze the bears tail in with the ice
 Bear still sat patiently on the ice wait ing for the fish to bite. At last he thought he would get up and walk around little. as he was tired of sit ting in one position so long As he started to move he felt a tug at his frozen tail. and, thinking it was a big fish, he gave a mighty jerk. when off came his tail
 Ever since that time the bears have all had short tails.

GAMBLING WITH DEATH
What Many of Us Are Doing Three
 Times Day.

Fer everything we get something IS taken away. Every act pulls two ways. Some men n power dole out tEeir souls in it. They cant have soul and power at the same time.
 And so, in this quick-living age, most of us can't have energy and health at the same time. One or the other must be lost, and it is usually health.
 We know we are doing wrong and would like to reform, but we have morbid fear of being laughed at if we aim to live and eat according to conscience and good sense.
 Some of us break away for awhile and enslaye ourselves to a diet. We read about the hardy Scotsman being fed on porridge asd oatcake, mak' ing soldiers of muscle and dash, and how Caesars army was fed on corn. But the diet doesn't last long. we quickly swing back into the great line. eating and drinking to fullness like the rest, eating anything and everything. at any time. and any way we find it. We say "what is a stomach for if it isn't to obey the pal ate"
 But there is really no one rule ap- plicable to everybody's stomach. What one man may eat another may not.
 But the dyspeptic should remem- Der that the death list has dark shadow lowering over it with long bcny finger pointing to "died of heart d 'sesase." Physicians will tell us that there are few cases of heart disease that do not come from stom- ach derangement.
 At every meal we may be brewing for ourselves terrible case of dys- pepsia. It may come upon us after breakfast tomorrow morning, or after that oyster supper tomorrow night.
 Acute indigestion means that you have even chances for death or life. That's the gamble you are taking. That precious gastric jul e decides, as a rule, whether ycu contirua to live or not.
 Therefore, if you feel your food lies like Ca lump of lead" on your stom- ach, beware! Your gastric juice is weak. It can't dispose of the food in time to prevent fermentation. Take someth ng that will do it effec- lively, and at once. Take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the most powerful tablets in the world for the relief of all kinds of stomach trouble, nau- sea, indigestion, the worst cases of dyspepsia, fermentation, bloaty feel ing, sourness, heartburn. and brash
 One grain of an ingredient of these tablets will 'gest 5000 grains of food. Your stomach needs a rest at once. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will relieve your stomach of more than two-thirds of the work it has to do, digesting perfectly whatever food there is in your stomach.
 You can't do your work well, or be cheerful, or have energy or vim CT ambition, when your stomach is bad. Make yourself feel good after hearty meal, feel good all over, clear your mind and make you enjoy lie. by talk ling Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Give your stomach a rest, so it can right itself, then you need fear noth- ing. Ycu can get these tablets any where for 50 cents a package.
