Mir. and Mrs. Robin.

Cock robin is a great nuisance when the nest is undergoing repairs or has to be rebuilt. for he everlastingly bothers the lady robin while she goes about her fine art of nest building. Does he ever assist in the good workF Not he. He will not soil his pretty bf;l with one bit of lint or moss, or anything necessary for the nest. After the little fellows are matched he be- comes q genuine old he hen. and will hover about the nest while the lady Is away for worms for her young. He may once in a while forget his lord Illness and bring a worm for his lady, but as for food for his offspring, the fuzzy little fellows would starve were they to depend upon the father robin for food. He seldom bothers about the little ones first flight attempts. and will sit perched handily by while mamma tackles the delightful task But let danger approach the young or the mate, and To and behold! MT. Robin becomes genuine fighter, and will draw near to the jaws of death boldly and without hesitation.-LondOn Telegraph.

snaiIs and Plump Mutton.

"Most people would be mortified to learn that the finest mutton in the world comes from sheep fattened on snails," says large breeder of South. down sheep. quoted in the London Mail Nevertheless 1t Is fact. In seasons when. snails are plentiful the mutton from our sheep has a delicious flavor which 1t never acquires from the most scientific form of feeding On the continent diet of snalls is q regular cure for consumption and Is sail to fatten and nourish the body in won- derful way. There Is a popular super stition that the unique and delicate flavor of Southdown mutton Is due largely to the quantity of wild thyme which they crop with the grass in their pastures But personally I give the snails the greater part of the credit for the soft. plump flesh and the sweetness of flavor in our celebrated sheep So much Is this the case that the saying. Good snail year good sheep year. has become almost proverb among shep- herds and breeders"

Thomas A Edison, the great Ameri- can inventor, says: Fully eighty per cent. of the illness of mankind comes from eating improper food or too much food; people are inclined to over-indulge themselves " This Is where indigestion finds it's beginning in nearly every case. The stomach can do just so much work and no more, and when you overload it, or when you eat the wrong kind of food, the digestive organs cannot possibly do the work demanded of them. It Is at such times that the stomach needs help; it demands help, and warn you by head. aches, belching, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. You should attend to this at once by taking something that will actually do the work for the stomach. KodOl will do this. It is a combination of natural digestants and vegetable acids, and contains the same juices found in a healthy stomach. It Is pleasant to take It digests what you eat Sold by Anders Jacobsen
