The .Water Lily.

Almost everybodyshas observed the strange characteristic of the water lily bud opening its%petaIs at sunrise and closing them again at sunset It was for this reason mainly that the an- clients held the water lily sacred to the sun. Pliny says: Ut is reported that in the Euphrates the flower of the loE1 tus plunges into the water at night, re- malning there tillsmidnight and to such a depth that it cannot be reached with the hand. After midnight it begins gradually to rise, and as the sun rises above the horizon the flower also rises above the water, expands and raises itself some distance above the. element in which it grows" It was also through this peculiarity that Hancar- vile proved that the Egyptians con- sIdered the lily an emblem of the world as 1t rose from the waters of the deep

How Whales Are Killed.

The feature attracting the casual Ob- server is the vessels harpoon gun, sit uated forward of everything, from which the formidable harpoon Is fired into the whale The gun looks like a small cannon, and about pound of powder Is used to discharge the har- poon, which IS rammed home in the same manner as a shot would be and tied from the outside end with small cord, this breaking, of course, when the gun is fred The harpoon is very heavy missile, weighing several hum dred pounds, which necessitates it's be- ing fired only at prett.v close range
 The lance head pierces the whale and soon afterward explodes a bomb con- tained in it, while still farther back on the shaft are barbs, which expand on entering the whale, making 1t next to impossible for the harpoon to be drawn out again. Each harpoon after being fired has to be strengthened by black smith in order to again fit the gun barrel. A stoutihemp rope four inches In circumference Is attached to the har= poon about eighteen inches from the point. This line Is of great fexibility and strength and Is manufactured sole 2 ly for aswhalinga In Norway. A few fathoms of this line are colled on a plate directly under the gun, the re- mainder being below decks clear to run. There ale. two of these lines, each 1,8QO feet in length, and some times they are none too long for the apurpose-Metropolitan Magazine.

The Greater Ache.

You might think you've got such a heartache," said the woman.sri'that you can't stand it at all. You'll never get over 1t, never in the world! You can't stand 1t another minute without dying of it, but just wait till you get the toothache good and hard. then stand by and watch the heartache go way back and sit down." ."--New York Press.
 You can't be well if you have weak, unhealthy, tired ut stomach. Neither can you feel good if by some little irregu- larity in. eating you have caused the stomach to get out of order. These little stomach troubles are signs of indi- gestion. which may and very often does turn into very bad case of dyspepsia. Don't allow this to go on single day without doing something to overcome it. Take some good reliable and safe digestant like KoDoL For Dyspepsia. KODoL is the best remedy known to-day for heart burn, beIching and all troubles arising from disordered digestion. It is pleasant to take and affords relief promptly. Sold by finders Jacobsen.

He Hunq on to the Record.

A fish story heard while camping involves an old man who had little re- gard for the truth. Two young men made it up to go to the old gentleman's house and outgeneral him by telling the biggest lie to the old man, who held the record. After being at the old mans house some time one of them asked the old gentleman if he had heard about the big fire. He said hG had not and asked them where it was. The young man told him a gasoline launch had exploded on the river and the whole river was on fire. The old man sat quiet for moment, then turn ed to his wife and said, Mother, I told you something terrible had happened up the river today when I caught that catfish with his fins all burned off, Chicago Tribune.

The Only Convert.

For some years there had been a Presbyterian mission at the Winneba- go reservation in Nebraska, but there were few converts. The missionary hit on a brilliant plan. There were some bucks on the reservation who had been at the Carlisle school, where they had studied singing. He organ Ized a quartet. The bucks liked to show of their hymns One of them had a yellow dog that always accom- panied his master to church.
 At first the Indians liked the sing ing; then they grew tired of it. Even the choir lost it's religion. It became a trio, then duet; finally the solo quit A new missionary came into the field One day he ascended the pulpit and looked around. The only sign of life ip the pews was yellow dog.

It has for years been brought home to us-by comment more or less com plimentary-that we Americans travel ing abroad are closely scrutinized by the Europeans. But perhaps we have not realized that the observing eyes of the younger-in fact. the youngest generation are turned upon us.
 A Parisian woman going to her chil- dren's playroom discovered her little boy and girl absorbed in a remarkable occupation. The boy stood moHonless and solemn on small table in the middle of the room. The girl, arrayed in grownup hat and coat. walked slowly round him, regarding him thoughtfully, now and then peering ab- stractedly into a red covered book in her hand.
