The Laurel and the Sunflower.

The laurel and the suntiower
have been found, according to
Country Lite, to be of the greatest
use in damp situations. People who
live in such spots, especially near
undrained land, think there is no
help for them but by removal. Sue
cessful experiments have shown
that it is possible materially to i'm
prove the atmosphere in such neigh
borhoods by the planting of laurels
and sunfowers. The former give
off an abundance of ozone, while the
latter are potent in destroying the
malarial conditions. These two, il
planted even on the most restricted
scale in a garden or any ground
close to the house, will be found tc
increase speedily the dryness anc
salubrity of the atmosphere.

Food For Canarles.

The best of food for young cana
ries is hard boiled egg mixed with a
little wheat bread. Cut up the egg
fine and add to it part OF roll
that has been soaked in water for a
few minutes and then squeeze dry.
Great care must be taken that the
food be fresh, for if it be the least
sour it will kill the birds. The
young ones are nearly always fed by
the male bird, but in about two
weeks they will feed themselves.
When they are month old put
them in cage by themselves. Feed
them on the egg and bread mixed
with some of the seed that you give
the old birds, and, having continued
this diet for four or five weeks, YOU
may treat them as you do the ole
ones. Keep your cage perfectly
clean, give the birds plenty of light
and fresh air and keep them out ot
drafts. Sudden changes of temper
ature will be sure to make then
sick.-Scotsman.

THE SHOEMAKER SAINTS.
Story Of sns Roman Brothers Who
Psrished by the Sword.

st. Crispin and his brother. Girls
pinian always associated together
in the calendar), were two natives
of Rome who. having become con-
verts to Christianity, set out for
Gaul to preach the faith about the
middle of the third century along
with St. Quintin and others. The
brothers settled at Soissons, where,
in imitation of the apostle Paul,
they preached publicly in the day
time and worked with their hands
at night, earning their own sub
sistence bv making shoes, though
noblv born. They supplied the poor
at low price. and a legend tells US
that an angel supplied them with
leather. The heather listened to
their instructions and were aston
ished at the charity, disinterested-
ness. piety and contempt of glory
displayed in their lives, and many
were converted to the Christian
faith.
After they had been thus engaged
for several years the Emperor Ajax
imianus Hercullus came into Beige
Gaul. and complaint was made to
him against the brothers. He, de
string to crafty their accuserS as
well as to indulge his own savage
cruelty, gave orders that they
should be brought before Rictius
Narus, the most implacable enemy
of the Christians of that time, The
saints bore with patience and con-
stancv the most cruel torments and
at length finished their course by

Eldest Sons.

According to some curious inves-
LEGATIONS conducted by English sci
entists, eldest sons tend to be Grim
inals and youngest sons paupers. A
great many thousand school chill
drcn and many family histories have
been examined to yield these re-
suits. Firstborn children were
found to be, as a rule. taller and
heavier, with greater ability and en-
durance than the Others. This is in
accordance with the popular feeling
in many countries that the Oldest
child is superior to the others and
deserving of special privileges. It
is a well established fact that
among men of genius an undue pro-
portion are eldest sons.

A GREAT DETECTIVE
Some o, ths Tricks Played by Nosso
Enalish Sleuth.


! II WAS in 1881 that Thoma.
Gregory joined the London metro
politan force. In his time Gregory
arrested many notorious CRIMINALS
He captured a gang who were
known as the cabinet of Crime
and under whose guidance all bis
robberies were carried out. Gregory
was gifted with faculty for dis
guising, and he appeared in many
characters. In order to enter ano
raid a club in Soho he was given the
task of gaining admittance to the
premises. At an appointed time
| dressed as poor old man, ne was
lurching up against the door laden
with basket of groundsel. The
doorkeeper. pugilist, knocked HIM
over into the road, but this gave the
waiting officers an opportunity for
getting inside and etfectlng their
mission.
One summer for weeks he might
have been seen daily outside the
general postotfiee as boot cleaner,
and eventually he brought off the
arrest of gang.
Obtaining the position of valet to
wealthy coiner. who kept a man
sion in Westminster, Gregory, with
other officers. contrived a big coup,
four confederates being sent to
penal servitude.
An amusing story is told OF one
of Gregory's adventures. He was
keeping observation on the corner
of Dean street west and had adopt
ed the plan of selling matches. He
had only two boxes, large and
small one. A Scotchman went up
to him and offered halfpenny for
the large box. at the same time
handing the officer penny. Gregory
said he could not let him have that
one, but would try to get one for
him. Just at this moment the man
he was watching passed by, and
Gregory went after him and located
his residence. Some forty minutes
Gregory returned to the
corner of Dean street and found the
awaiting him for his
matches and change
A Bond street capture is quite a
dramatic little story. One morning
Gregory noticed in Bond street a
landau stop outside jewelers. shop.
A woman dressed in the height of
fashion alighted and looked into the
window. She somehow attracted
the detectives attention and was
seen to drop her parasol through
the grating under the window.
The shop assistants noticed her
trouble and came out to help her
recover the article. No sooner had
they left the shop than two
''swells" entered and proceeded to
fill their pockets with jewelry. The
detective got assistance and arrest
ed all three, who turned out to be
old convicts.-Pearson's Weekly.

prominent retail druggists - realizing
that big change was to be made in the
proprietary medicine business, that the
public demanded to know what the in
gradients were of the preparations they
were advertising, and that general
reform was about to take place in pro-
prietary medicine manufacturing and ad-
vertising, formed cooperative COM
pany to meet the public's demand. This
company was called The United Drug
Co., of which the undersigned has be-
come once thetwo thousand members
Our object was, FIRST, to manufacture
q line Of prescriptions such as we had
tried out in our stores and found to give
the very best of results, and second, by
owning our own cooperative manufac-
turing company we would be able to
know the exact formula Of every prepar-
alton we were selling, thus enabling us
TO give to the public the very best rem
edics we could find at actual manufac-
turing cost, plus single retail profit.
This enabled The United Drug Com
pany to escape the heavy charges for
advertising and other expenses such %
have to be paid by proprietary remedies.
What was most important, L insu1eo
