eoina 20 Take a Day OF.

A postmaster, not many miles from
Billville. posted the following notice
on his shutter recently:
"All parties expectin' mail are here

Thursday, that bein' the day we have
appinted to go huntin'-not havin'

The Ideal Family Laxative.

is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills. be-
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is laxative on the
market that is SO carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
century and are for sale everywhere,

THOUGHT HE SAW DOUBLE.
Fate Had Prepared PitfaIl for Unfor
tunate Professor.

A worthy professor was invited to
dine at the house of a lsiy of fash
ion.
The day was hot, the wine cool, the
professors thirst great, and the fair
neighbor with whom the professor
was engaged in lively conversation
filled his glass as often as 1t was
emptled.
When the company rose from the
table the professor noticed, to his
great CONSERVATION, that he was un-
steady on his feet.
In his anxiety to save appearances
he repaired to the drawing-room,
where the lady of the house yielded to
the wishes of her lady friends and
ordered the nurse to bring in the baby
twins.
The pair were lying together on a
pillow, and the nurse presented them
for inspection to the person nearest
the door, who happened to be the pro-
fessor.
The latter gazed intently at them
for awhile, as If deciding whether or
not there were two. or one, and then

Worlds Poisonous Snakes.

The most dangerous snake is the
African mamba, the most specialized.
the most deadly and one of the largest
of the cobras. 1t flies at everybody
and everything; 1t goes out of its
way to quarrel; it will even come
down from tree to solicit an in
terview. Over in India there is the
great king cobra. or hamadryad, a
size larger, quite as fierce-it has
been known to chase man on horse
back; he had to ride for his life
but its poison is a degree less vir-
ulent. The difference. however, may
be considered negligible and ceases
to interest the patient after a few
minutes. Among the Austrian cob.
ras, the pit vipers of America and the
great West African vipers there are
species with evil regulations. and the
most alarming feature is that the
aggressive snakes are all desperately
poisonous,

Peppery Reply.

The Rev. Amos Fletcher was keen

Every mother possesses information

Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result

ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.

physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers

to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When girls thoughts become slug

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
