The poet and the philosopher Of the
Marshalltown Times-Republican have
Joined their efforts and have produced
the following gem:
do not umpire baseball games;
Don't for Office run;
Do not call a. fellow names,
II he has gun;
Unto wisdom lend your ears;
Shun the festive schooner;
Then you'll live hundred years
If you don't die sooner"

1t would hardly do to attribute the

The ultimate cause of atomic dys.
pepsia is constitutional depression. 1t
may be due 10 oyerwork" especial
ly to prolonged worry. Sometimes the
dyspepsia is the first manifestation Of
tubercular poisoning. Again, there
seems TO be an inherent failure of the
digestive organs. Once established,
dyspepsia is, in turn, the cause Of loss
of strength, of mental inertia and Wis.
ceral weakness Some degree Of sim.
pie anaema is almost inevitable. The
exciting cause may be an illness of any
kind. the excessive use of tea, coffee
or other beverages. the lack Of proper
food, some error In habits Of eating

It is a popular idea that the ermlne
sheds its brown summer coat and that
Oh the approach OF winter n covering
of snowy white fur takes Its place.
This was natural conclusion, as a
possibility Of change in the color of
the fur had not occurred to scientists.
Experiments however, have been
made. and the brown coated ermine
has been placed in very low tempera-
ture Almost Immediately a change
was visible in the color of the fur, and
without shedding the creature became

THE JAW AND THE TEETH.
What May Happen II We Continue
Using soft Foods.

What May Happen II We Continue
Using soft Foods.
The teeth are really appendages Of
the skin. and not of the skeleton, as
people generally believe. The Jaw is
formed in accordance with the neces-
sity for providing a hold for the teeth
that Is, if there were no teeth to come,
the jaw would grow differently, and
would not have its present shape. The
jaw is not an independent part, as 1t
would like to be; 1t has to form itself
to accommodate tenants with which,
strictly speaking, 1t has no ties Of kin.
drCd.
The use of soft foods decreases the
size of the teeth, and they will ulti-
mately disappear, unless we make
more use of them.
AS there does not seem to be any
likelihood of n change in our habits,
we must expect to lose them in course
of time Then the jaw will assume
probably another shape. Further, the
gums might disappear. for there can
be no use for them after the disappear
0nce of the teeth
The loss of the teeth makes the lips
fall in, and brings us near to the Punch
form of face! We find it impossible to
pronounce sounds. such as t. d, sh, CHI.
The change of face so to say, will GER
tainly lead to a mobilization OF the
tongue, and this In turn to the inability
to pronounce other sounds.

Mimi, was tortured by sciatiea The pain
and suffering which he endured during this
time is beyond comprehension. Nothing
gave him any permanent relief until he used
hamberlain's Pain Balm. One application
Of that liniment relieved the pain and made
sleep and rest possible. and less than one
bottle has effected permanent cure. If
troubled with sciatiea or rheumatism why

for yourself how quickly it relieves the pain.

GODFREY'S TANKARO.
A Seventeenth Century Relic of the
Plague In London.


A curious historical relic Of London
is the large tankard Of solid silver pre-
scented by Charles IL. 10 Sir Edmund
Berry Godfrey for his valuable services
during the plague and the fire Of Lon
don. for which he received the honor of
knighthood in 1866. The tankard
which Is of plain silver, has hinged
cover and weighs nearly thirty-slx
ounces. Its front is engraved with the
royal arms and the crest Of the recipi-
ent, together with inscriptions in Latin
and engravings of scenes connected
with the fire, which are still in excel
lent preservation. The engraving Of
the pesthouse men carrying corpses to
the dismal plague pit and that of the
crowded blocks of houses surmounted
by flames are very quaint and curious.
Sir Edmund who WAS born in 1921 at
SellInge, In Kent, was a timber mer.
chant, possessing wharfs at Dowgate
city and at Charing Cross. He prosper
ed, became justice of the peace for
Westminster and member Of parlla-
ment for Winchilsea In history, as no
reader of Macaulay and Green will
need to be told. his name is most ia
nous in connection with his mysterious
murder, which was popularity attribut-
ed to the zeal with which he had devot-
ed himself to unrayeling the alleged
popish plot His body was found in a
ditch near Primrose hill. face down
ward and penetrated by his own sword
under circumstances which precluded
the idea of suicide or robbery.
The excitement caused by this still
mysterious event is indicated by the
fact that when the funeral procession
left the city. with great pomp and
pageant, for the burial ground of St
Martins-in-the- Feds. it was preceded

The Fork.

1t Is about loo years ago since the
fork made Its appearance In Europe.
In 80 A. D. a son of the doge Pietro
Orsolo had welded in Venice the Brlz-
zantine Princess Anglia, who produced
at the wedding breakfast a silver fork
and gold spoon. Then the high Nene-
ton families Followed suit, and these
martyrs to fashion pricked their lips
with the new instrument. The fork
prospered, however, and spread over
Italy. In 1879 it had Travelled as far
as France, and in zoos a traveller
brought 1t direct to England

Gardening in America has reached
what one might call the awkward
age" Neither Il man nor a country
goes a-gardenng in early youth. Men
come to build stately sooner than to
garden finely" as Bacon once said, and
rs every garden writing body has re-
peated until Sir Francis in Elysium
must regret he ever made the remark,
which none the less is true. Gardening
is essentially middle aged enjoyment,
and America being, as nations GO still
young. her garden craft has the faults
of youth. 1t has It's incongruities, in
harmonies, and it often mistakes size
and expenditure for excellence.-Cen-
tury
