That Was All.

A young girl who is always trying
some new thing was present once
when the doctor set a neighbours bro
ken arm. She was sure that she knew
exactly how it was done and rather
anxious to put her new knowledge into
practice. Some time later a hen out
in the chicken yard broke its leg. The
girl directly announced that she meant
to set it "and make it as good as
new" Accordingly it was put into a
plaster cast and left for" the proper
length. Of time to knit. When the day
came to take off the cast the girl ran
out to the henhouse in great eagerness
TO see the result. Presently there was
a scream that brought every member
Of the family to her side. The chicken
was jumping miserably over the ground
sidewise instead of directly forward.
You know q hens leg has a crook.
Well. she had crooked it the wrong
way. that was all.

Atomic Dyspepsfa.

The ultimate cause Of atomic dys-
pepsia is constitutional depression. It
may be due to overwork, and especial
~ 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
ceraI weakness. Some degree Of sim
pie anaemia 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
Often It is not discoverable.

Coffee Knitted An Cid Soldier.
An old soldier, released from coffee
at 70. recovered his health and tells
about it as follows:
q stuck to coffee for years although
il knitted me again and again.
About eight years ago, (as re-
suit of coffee drinking which con
gested nv iiver) I was taken with a
very severe attack of ma'aT.al fever.
Il would apparently recover and
start about my usual work only to
suffer a relapse. After this had been
repeater several times during the
year I was again taken violently i'll.
The doctor said he had carefully
studied my case and ii was either
quit coffee or die. advising me to
take Postum in its place. ! had al
WAYS thought coffee one Of my d. r
est friends, and especially when sick,
and I was very much taken back b.
the doctors decision for I hadn't sus-
pected the coffee I drank could pos
siblv cause nv troubles.
i thought il over for a few min
utes ana finally told the doctor l
would make the change. Postum was
pYocurad for me the same day and
made. according to directions; well,
I liked il and stuck to it and since
then have been a new man. Tie
change in health began in a few days
and surprised me. and now, alta3ugh

Geese From shennsh.

Everybody in the whole civilized
world between the eleventh and the
seventeenth centuries believed that the
"barnacle goose" Matched from that
species of shellfsh called the barnacle.
The story was first told by Cambrensis
and was devoutly believed b. ell Chris
tendon for more than half q thousand
years. A we'll known scientific writer,
reviewing the opinions of Cambrensis,
SAYS: According to our venerable aT-
thOrity, the barnacle goose is generated
from logs Of wood allowed to decOn4
pose in the water. When decomposi-
ton has fairly begun, small bumps on
the log may be observed. Little by
little these increase in size, and finally
assume the form and shape of a mass
of barnacles. which is we'll known as
kind of shellfsh. Soon after the
she'll. or husk. bursts open and full
grown goose may be seen in the water
clinging to the log only by its bill. A
few days longer it continues to draw
its rourishment from the log, then
breaks away in the form of a perfect
goose. exercising all the functions Of
its kind"

THE JAW AND THE TEETH.
What May Happen IL We Continu,
Using Soft Foods.

What May Happen II We Continue
Using Soft Foods.
The teeth are really appendices OF
the skin, and not of the skeleton, as
people generally believe. The Jaw is
formed IN accordance with the neces-
sity for providing hold tor the teeth
that is, If there were NO teeth TO come,
the jaw would grow differently, and
would not have It's present shape. The
jaw is not an independent part, as it
would like to be; it has to form itself
to accommodate tenants with which,
strictly speaking, it has no ties Of kim
dred.
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 a 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
ance 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, Sc to say, will GER
tainly lead to a modification Of the
tongue, and this in turn to the inability
to pronounce other sounds.

Rainfall is a condition which has
much to do with our health. A wet dis
trict with good deal of subsoil water,
making houses damp, is a locality in
which rheumatism and consumption
are likely to prevail. Over England
and Wales the average yearly rainfall
is about thirty-four inches, in Scotland
it reaches forty-six inches and in Ire
land about thirty-eight inches. Posi-
bly, the wettest parts of Britain are in

AN ODD BIRD.
The Kiwi OF New Zealand Has Some
Remarkable PecuIiarities.

The K1vvi OF New Zealand Has Some
Remarkable Peculiarities.
That queer bird, the kiwi, is a native
of New Zealand. Its remarkable pc
culiarities are, first, the apparent alb
sence Of wings, as the plumage so
covers the small, rudimentary, stick.
like appendage Of wing that none
whatever is apparent. The situation
of the nOstrils at the bills extremity
is a second peculiar feature. While
hunting for earthwOrms it probes the
soft ground, making a continual snuff
ing sound. Thus the scent is evidently
of great help in finding food-and the
reason for the position of the nostrils
quite apparent. 80 s. 80
A third peculiarly is the very disprO-
portionate size of the egg in COMPARE
son to the bird, it being a little less
than One-fourth the birds own weight.
One kiwi's egg found weighed four
teen and one-half ounces, while the
bird weighed just under four pounds
(sixty-four ounces) and was about the
size Of an ordinary hen.
The plumage of the kiwi is a dull
brown streaked with light gray, and
the body resembles a miniature hay
shock, rather badly hacked off at the
rear part, as nature has not provided
the kiwi with such decoration as a tail.
The absence of wings is compensated
for by its swiftness Of foot, and the
large, clumsy looking legs, which are
sometimes used as weapons, are placed
far back on the oddly shaped body

EDITOR IN
JAIL
Judge Gives Him Sentence on
Charge of Contempt of
Court.

Up in Indianapolis there is>an edi-
tor in Jail who has no reason to be
otherwise than proud Of his incarcer-
alton, and a judge is out of jail
who would be locked up for the rest
of his natural life if he were tried
before the tribunal of Him who
said: Suffer little children to come
unto Ne, and forbid them not, for of
such is the kingdom of heaven"
Fred L. Purdy of the Indianapolis
Sun is the prisoner, and his crime Is
the criticism Of one Judge Afford.
A well-knOwn citizen Of indianapolis
was charged with an awful crime
against a tiny girl in short clothes.
When the accused was brought face
to face with his victim before Chief
of Police Metzger, he interrupted the
child's story to call her the vilest
and most indecent name man can ap-
ply to woman. 1t was in the Office
of the chief Of police, and the girl was
under his protection. With that nat
ural indignation which would arouse
any man, Chief Metzger slapped the
villifler of the child across his filthy
mouth. Subsequently the chief and
the little victim had the poor salts
faction of convicting the brute and
Furnishing him.
But this Judge Afford took it into
his head that the chief of police
should be punished for what he digni-
fed as an assault" upon the calum-
~, IF FrinnH1
girl. He insisted that a grand jury
should indict Metzger, and the jurors
said that they would see him in

coercion from the bench, removing
grand jurors who resisted and ap-
pointed others in their stead until the

whole state.
Then Editor Purdy took dignifed
notice of what was a matter of wide
spread public interest in the following
editorial:
IF a decent newspaper could safely
soil its columns with an account of the
details Of the scene and the language
which Infatuated Chief Metzger to the
point Of striking the despoiler of a lit,
tie girl, there would be no further
effort on the part of Judge Afford to
force a grand jury to ind.ct the chief.
There is not a man in Indianapolis
worthy the name but would have
struck the foul mouth Of the man who
stigmatized the poor little victim be-
fore him with the West epithet one
can call a woman. It is a miserable
effort to bolster a cause that must
talk about constitutional rights for
the sake, of of a brute who got just
what he deserved and which Metzger
gave him without permission from the

To Keen Awake In Church.

A minister once told me a good way
to keep awake in church when inclined
to be drowsy. The way was this: Lift
one foot a little way from the floor and
hold it there. 1t is impossible 10 go to
sleep when your foot is poised in the
air. This remedy, though simple, is
very effectual and never fails to keep
a person awake.-NatiOnal Magazine.

Trec. Tbat Eorm IsIozo.-

In the course of great rivers, islands
are generally formed by the stranding
of trees, shrubs, plants and such things
brought down by the current. In the
Mackenzie river of Canada the whole
process of island making in this way can
be easily observed. Trees borne down
from the banks by the undermining ac-
ton Of the current usually retain con-
siderable mass of earth and stones en-
tangled in their roots. They, therefore,
readily sink, and by doing so form con-
siderable shoals, which time converts
into regular vegetable islands. Then a
thicket of small willows covers the
newly formed land and their fibrous
roots serve to bind the whole firmly to-
gether. A peaty soil is formed by the
gradual decay of the vegetation, includ-
ing the trunks of the trees, and on this
many new varieties of plants spring
up. Sometimes the island clears It's
mOOrings and floats away down stream
until it is again arrested by an Obsta-
Gle, or it may become in a sense water
logged and subSide close to the bottom.
In this latter case it often gets covered
over with mud and sand, which form
a new and more permanent land sur
face above it.

What Germany And
France Are Doing

Washington. Jan. 3.-Neither the
American ambassador to France nor
the like official at Berlin could treat OF
the situation which now exists between
France and Germany In any report
which could be published here without
Involving trouble. But II is believed
the explanation of the latest German
movement is to be found in the fact
that last July, when the Morocco stu
alton developed an acute phase, the
French General Staff discovered that
the entire army, especially the trans.
portation facilities, was not in a condi.
ton justifying France in adopting an
aggressive attitude. So the negotia,
lions suddenly assumed a mild tone
and have dragged along until the pres.
ent time.
Meanwhile, the French General Staif
went to work with great assiduity to
correct the evils which have developed,
with the result that within the last ten
days 1t was asserted that. in the opinion
OF military experts, the French army
was In better condition than at any
period in Its history. The weakest point
last summer was discovered to be In
the mobilization, and this has been
strengthened so that the vast bodies OF
troops can be collected at the popular
Centers and transported to the frontier
posts in an incredibly short time
II is believed here by officials who
have kept close watch on the situation
that the Germans have likewise been

increasing the efficiency of their army.
