understandable Cat.

While e%xpOnnding To his wife the
alleged fact that men can control then
tempcrs better than women can, Mr..
Kinks fell over the cat and nearly
broke his nose.
That settles it, he Kissed. I've
often threatened, but now I'll drown
the brute!"
His wife begged him to be merciful.
but his mind was made up.
Accordingly he placed the offending
feline, along with two large bricks,
In an old -four sack and fastened upon
his murderOus errand. On reaching
the canal he threw I'm the bag with
such vigor that he Overbalanccd and
fell into the muddy water. After struG.
Cling for half an hour and incidentally
drinking half the water I'm the canal.
he returned home wet and weary.
At the door sat the cat.
"Well Of all exclaimed Kinks
'Why, ] drowned the brute."
II don't think So" said his wife as
she let him in. You didn't give me
time TO tell you that there was a hole
In that bag.'-London Answers.

Waves of Water.

Waves are deceptive things. To look
at them would gather the impress
sion that the whole water Travelled.
This, however, is not 50. The water
stays in the same place, but the mo-
ton goes Oh. In great storms waves
are sometimes forty fee high, and
their crests travel fifty miles an hour.
The base Of Il wave dhe distance from
valley to valley IL usually considered
as being fifteen times the height OF
the wave. Therefore a wave twenty
five feet high would have a base ex-
tending 80 feet. The force OF waves
breaking on the shore Is seventeen
tons to the square inch.

A Savings Bank Which Never Lost
Dollar on a Poor Note.

The Vergennes Enterprise & Vermonter
thinks that the good luck the Hyde Park
Savings Bank has had i'll placing its
loans is due to the policies of this Bank
in investing its money at home. 1t says:
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Company of which Carroll S.
Page is president, passed the million
dollar mark in its assets July II. This
bank has never lost dollar on a poor
note and makes all it's investments in
Vermont. This fact may be one of the
secrets of success Of this financial nstitu-
ton 1t has been noticed before that
everything that Ex-Governor Page is
interested in is successful.
This bank pays per cent. compound
ed semi-annually on deposits of $500 or
more, remaining in the bank one full
year.

Tells How to Mix 1t.

A well-known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the readers of large New
York daily paper the following valuable,
yet simple and harmless prescription,
which any one can easily prepare at
home:
Fluid Extract Dandeion, one-half
ounce Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup SarsaparilIa, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being of
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimnishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without injuring the
stomach. While there are many So
called Rheumatism remedies, patent
medicines, ETC., some of which do give
relief, few really give permanent results,
and the above will, no doubt be greatly
appreciated by many sufferers here at
this time
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately. or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers if asked to.
