USE oLDTIME E

In Canada the French settlers
still continue to use large brick
ovens out of doors such as were built
in France $50 years ago. The per-
lection of the stove and range in
the last so years has driven many
Of these ovens out of commission,
but many of the inhabitants think
that no good baking can be done in
any other oven. Its use is simple.
A fire is made in the oven of good
hard wood and when the oven is ex-
ceedingly hot the ashes are raked
out and the large loayes ready to
bake are placed on the bottom of the
oven without pans This method of
baking makes a very thick croute or
crust. AS all of the natural ele-
ments Of. the grain are left in the
-four the bread is dark in color.

Once a young crow was found in
a Jersey marsh. 1t was taken home
and cared for. The owner was an
enthusiastic small boatman, and fire.
quently sailed through a narrow and
difficult swash channel in a long
sand bar. The crow enjoyed sailing,
and enjoyed the swash channel navi-
cation more than any other. 1t
would cav and sputter all the way
through, but if the sailor happened
to strike bottom the bird would yell,
apparently derisively, and fly away
home. Gle would never allow me
to let the sail shake along the huff
for an instant without making a
fuss over it, and understood when
it was time to iibe over, and always
let me know it." the owner wrote.

STORY POINTED A MORAL
Archibald clavering eunter's Clever
Illustration Of Case Of In
direct Bribery.

Some editors were discussing the
personality Of the late Archibald
Clavering Gunter, the author Of
'rMr. Barnes of New York"
"Gunter," said a dramatic editor,
had a keen sense Of honor. Brib-
cry Of any sort was very distasteful
to him. l remember the pointed
way in which he told a bribery story
in the presence Of a theatrical man
ager whose eulogistic reviews in the
press we're thought to be due in one
or two cases to palm OIL A week
" paper had attacked this manager
and then suddenly turned round
and praised him. The manager said
it was a remarkable thing. He
could not understand it. And then
Gunter told his story. He said there
was an old railway Waterman who
was overload of whisky. One cold
and stormy night the Waterman
found a tramp in a warm box car
and sternly ordered him to be off.
The tramp begged and pleaded. In
vain. The Waterman knew his duty
and would perform it. So the tramp
rose from his comfortable corner
and slowly and sadly pinned up the
collar of his thin coat as some pro-
lection against the storm.
GAN right, boss he said; I'll 60
if I must. You've got to do your
duty Then he pulled a pint flask
from his hip pocket. TO show
there's no ill feelin', he added, take
a swig O this The watchman's
hard eyes softened and lit up and as
he stretched out an eager hand he
said smilingIy; Sit down, man.

THE MASK OF HEALTH.
Pew People Are Really as Well as They
Look. Cause and Remedy.

Many people in Lexington, both
men and women, who believe them
selves to be in pefect health, are Of
ten in the greatest danger,
The most common cause ofillhealth
is indigestion, with.a myriad of symp-
toms such as headache, sleeplessness,
specks before the eyes, pains in the
back and side, distress after eating,
ect.
In the last few years the success OF
physicians everywhere with Mi-o-na
stomach tablets has made them
known far and wide as the acknow-
lodged sdeciAc for the treatment of
stomach diseases. They strengthen
the digestive organs SO that in a few
days the stomach is in such shape
that it takes care itself of all the food
that is eaten without pain or distress,

Mona cures. They take the whole
risk and the remedy will not cost yol

SMALL DUTIES.

The duty Of doing, not great
things, but what we can, is the very
top and sum of human obligation.
One cannot get beyond it; one ought
not to stop this side of it. 1t means
the doing of everything that you
can, and chiefly it means the doing
of things that issue out Of the heart
toward God and man. 1t means the
setting aside of self, and laying out
ones best energies in unselish, not
to be requited, service. It means
not merely occupation, industry, at
tainment; not merely busy hands,
but busy affections, sympathies, pur-
poses. 1t is the little daily acts Of
Christian love and service hat win

"I never did have a clear UNDER
standing of how my parents came

GafIron, 'but l suppose they were

A young newsboy had brought
suit against another newsboy who
had tried to capture his corner of
the street. The paper sent a lawyer
to defend its representative, while
