HIS MEMORY WAS GOOD.
Commodore Vanderbilt Had Not For.
 gotten Old Days.

The coming of age of Miss Gladys Vanderbilt and the payment to her of some twelve millions of dollars inher- itance has brought out new crop of anecdotes about the Vanderbilt for tune. One of the latest illustrates the democratic spirit of the old com modore.
 Sitting on the porch of fash ionable hotel at fashionable resort on one occasion, it is related, the commodore saw lady approaching with whom he was acquainted. His wife and daughter, who recognized her, could scarcely contain their an- ger when he arose and politely ad- dressed her.
 Don't you know" said the daugh- ter after she had gone, that hor- rid woman used to sell poultry to us?"
 Yes" responded the old million aire, and I remember when your mother sold root beer and l peddled oysters in New Jersey"

Remarkable Photoqraphy.

Photography has caught the fast est express train in motion by means or the cinematograph, and it also shows the growth of flower. A bud which bursts into bloom in, say, 16 days, is exposed to a camera every 10 minutes during the 16 days. and when the pictures developed from the hlms are assembled in order in the moving picture machine, the observer may see, to his delight, all in min ute or two, the gradual breaking of the bud-the blossoms open, close by night and reopen in the morning. the leaves grow under the eye. the sta mems peep from cover. and. finally, the full-blown flower.

Conceit.

"There goes the big-feelin man in town!" pessimistically said citi- zen of Pettyville, indicating with con. temptuous jerk of his thumb a pom pous-appearing parsonage who was passing.

4 Ventilation Test,

It is very hard to make an impress sion on those people who defend their possessions on all occasions. A lady was explaining to visitor the many advantages of concrete hollow block construction, of which the walls of her new home were built.
 "The air spaces in the walls afford insulation against heat in summer and cold in winter" she explained Be sides, such walls afford ventilation and insure more healthful house."
 The visitor reflected a moment, and replied:
 Our frame house must be quite as we'll built. Every night we lock the cat In the cellar, and have to let her out of the attic in the morning. Youths Companion.

To invigorate the digestion and

there is nothing so good as that old

They cleanse the blood and impart new
vigor to the body. One or two every
night for a week will usually be all
that is required. For Constipation or
Dyspepsia, one or two taken every
night will afford great relief.
