ANIMALS THAT SHED TEARS,
Travellers Observations Have Proved
That Weeping Is Common.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst, a
mule has been seen to cry from the
pain Of an injured foot and camels,
it is said, shed tears in streams, says
. writer in Harper's Weekly. A cow
sold by its mistress who had tended
young soko ape used to cry from vexa-
ton il Livingston didn't nurse 1t in
his arms when it asked him to.
Wounded apes have died crying, and
apes have wept over their young slain
by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to
carry water Jugs broke one and fell
a-crying, which proved sorrow, though
it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, dis
covering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears. A giraffe which
a huntsman's rife had injured began
to cry when approached. Sea lions
often weep over the loss of their
young. Gordon Cummings observed
tears trickling down the face of dy-
ing elephant. And even an orang-
outang when deprived of its mango
was so vexed that it took to weeping
There is little doubt, therefore, that
animals do cry from grief Or weep
from pain or annoyance.

NEVER TIRES
Of the Food That Restored Her to
Health.

MY food was killing ne and l didn't
know the cause" writes a Colo. young
lady. For two years I was thin and
sickly, suffering from Indigestion and
infiammatory rheumatism.
Il had tried different kinds of diet,
plain living, and many of the remedies
recommended, but got no better.
Finally, about five weeks ago,
mother suggested that I try Grape
Nuts, and I began at once, eating it
with little cream or milk. A change
for the better began at once.
To-day l am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've
gained 10 lbs. in the last five weeks
and co not suffer any more from indi-
gestion and the rheumatism is all
gone.
Il know it is to Grape-Nuts alone
that owe my restored health. 1 still
eat the food twice day and never tire
of it." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
The favor Of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. It is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreeable, healthful quail
ity that never grows tiresome.
One of the sources of rheumatism
is from overlooking the system with
acid material the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu-
larly, digestion is made strong. the or
gans do their work Of building up good
red blood cells and of carrying away
the excess of disease-making material
from the system.
The result is certain and steady
return to normal health and mental
activity. There's reason. . Read

HE WANTED LIVE NEWS.
Correspondent Had No Time to Waste
with Vice President.

Vice President Fairbanks stopped
a newspaper man the other day, and
good-naturedly asked explanation of
an incident which happened years
ago. On that occasion Mr.. Fairbanks
and the correspondent were chatting
pleasantly, when suddenly the latter
moved away to meet Senator Chand-
Ter of Maine. The vice president said:
Il have always had great curiosity to
know why you deserted me that day"
The newspaper man hesitated for a
moment, and then replied: TO tell
you the truth, Mr.. Vice President, you
are mighty dry source of news. You
may have nose for news, but ]
doubt it; at any rate, you never give
up any. Now, when a newspaper man
is cunning for big, live news he hasn't
got time to stop and exchange small
talk with man, even if he be a sen.

news if he saw it." Mr.. Fairbanks

Most Youthful Professor.

The youngest professor in the east
ern states is William r Foster, pro-
fessor Of English at Bowdoin college.
He supported himself from a very
small child, educated himself and at
the age of II had saved enough money
to start to college, when he found that
he could not enter because he had
never studied Latin. He was told he
must have two months of Latin and
it was just two months till the time
he had planned to enter Harvard. He
was not dismayed. He sought assist
ance, devoted the two months to over
coming the obstacle-and in Septem-
Der successfully passed his examina,
ton and entered college.

Would Select lime to Die.

Two old friends, one New Eng
land woman, met recently in sub.

on the gossip of the village home of
the visitor to the city.
"And how about old lady Woods; is
she dead YETI" inquired the city wo-
man.
Dead? MOI" shouted the rural Wis
itor, as the train came to a full stop,
mot while undertakers' lees are as
high as they are now
Everybody within hearing distance
laughed. The visitor looked mortified
at first, then joined with a sort of
grim humor in the laugh.

MANY SOURCES OF SALT.
That from Natural Springs Is Gener-
ally Most Nearly Pure.

The purity of salt depends upon the
source from which it is obtained and
the sanitary conditions under which
it is prepared for the market. The
supply of common salt, the most in
dispensable of all the seasoning sub
stances both as relishing condiment
and well-nigh universal food pre-
sentative, is exhaustless, yet even so
there is salt and salt, says the Pic
torial Review.
Formerly salt was obtained by evap-
Grating ocean water, a process that
left many impurities in the residuum,
to say nothing of it's exposure to all
kinds of dirt in it's shipment from sea-
ports. The Turks island or rock salt,
which is still largely used in pork
packing and in the manufacture of ice
creams, comes to the United States
in holds of vessels continually sub
jected to dirt and foul odors. Upon
it's arrival it is again handled, then
packed in coarse burlap bags, permit
ting dust to sift into the salt In this
condition it reaches the consumer.
Latterly, however, the product of
salt springs has largely taken the lead
in this country not only for table salt
but for meat packing. The annual
production from this source in the
United States reaches more than 49,
100000 bushels, the state of New York
in the vicinity Of Syracuse furnishing
large proportion of this important
supply "

ALMOST A SOLID SORE.
Skin Disease from 5irth-Fortuns
Spent on Her Without Benefit
Cured Her with Cutcura.

L have a cousin in Rockingham Co.
who once had skin disease from her
birth until she was six years of age
Her father had spent a fortune on
her to get her cured and none of the
treatments did her any good. Old
DR.. c. suggested that he try the
Cuticura Remedies which he did.
When he commenced to use it the
child was almost a solid scab. He
had used it about two months and
the child was well. ! was there when
they commenced to use your Cuti-
cura Remedies. I stayed that week
and then returned home and stayed
two weeks and then went back and
stayed with them two weeks longer,
and when went home could hardly
believe she was the same child. Her
skin was as soft as a baby's with
out a scar on it. I have not seen her
in seventeen years, but l have heard
from her and the last time heard from
her she was well. Mrs. w. P. Ingle, Bur-

OLD CAPT. cAcK's QUESTION.
Somewhat Pointed, But 1t Denoted
Quick Intelligence.

Pierce Jay, the commissioner Of
banks of Massachusetts, at the Ameri-
can Bankers associations convention
in St. Louis, advocated a better &C.
counting system.
But above ALL" said Mr.. Jay, in
a discussion of his idea, I'VE want
intelligence, if embezzlement is to be
thoroughly put down. Systems are
good, but intelligence is better, and
in cashiers and tellers and book
keepers and note clerks we want the
same keen, quick intelligence that
characterized old Capt. Hiram Cack,
of Gloucester.
"Cack lay very i'll. One day he got
down-hearted, feeling that his case
was hopeless.
II fear, DOCTOR he said, there isn't
much hope for me-
ooh, yes, there is the doctor an

quickly:

Whine from Henry James.

Henry James, pursuing his theme,
"The Speech of American Women"
speaks of group of Boston young
women, "all articulating as from sore
mouths, all mumbling and whining
and vocally limping and shu11ing as it
were together" He compares, also to
it's great disadvantage, a school where
parents pay so much not to have their
boys taught to speak as gentlemen,
with one beyond the sea, In which
the proviso that the schoolmaster
shall speak AZ a gentleman is so abso-
luteIy vital"

THE STORY.


THE king of Al was naturally cruel
and vindictiVe, and since his vic
tory over the armed force which Is
rael had sent out against his city, he
had given free rein to his passionate
nature. There were men in Al whom
he had ruthlessly slain because in
the panic which followed the news of
the destruction of Jericho they had
counseled the surrender of the city,
urging that this was their only hope
I'VE cannot stand before their God"
they had said LET us not fight
against them, but let us go out and
plead for mercy in the name of their
God"
Such appeals served only to deep
en- and intensity the hatred of the
king towards this strange people who
had invaded the land and towards
their God, and following his victorious
return to the city, after driving the
army of Israel before him, he had or
dered those men who had counseled
surrender to be slain. And the days
which followed had been bloody days
In Al Relentlessly he searched the
city for any who had shown fear or
who had suggested surrender, and
had them executed in the public
square as an example to others in
the city, for said he:
"Ai is made weak by their pres
eHce. Death to all who would fear
before Israel or bow down to their
God! Our gods be the true gods!
We will serve them!"
And so the days following the de-
feat of Israel had been bloody feasts
DAYS in All. for with the killing of
those who had incurred the kings
displeasure, the whole city had given
itself I'D to all manner of excuses.
Such was the state of things when
one evening word was brought to the
king that armed Israelites were seen
to enter the valley below the city,
and were making their camp in plain
view of the city. Immediately the
king went out and from the high tow
or on the walls at the city's gate he
watched the little army make its po-
SitiOn secure IOr Tue Light
Some of his officers counseled that
they go out at once against them and
under the cover of darkness attack
the camp. but the king with an oath
forbade, saying:
NAV. for in the darkness they would
fee and many would escape. On the
morrow early we will surround and
destroy them. None shall escape.
So 1t was that on the morrow ear
