DETERMINING LEVELS.
Method by Which Every Man May Be
His own Surveyor.

A simple way of roughly determin-
ing levels, and one which can readily
be practiced by any one and which has
the advantage of not requiring any
special apparatus, is by means of a
spirit level and a board with a straight
edge. The way to go about it is this:
First determine on two points the lev
els of which you wish to know and
drive stakes into the ground. Then
take board with a straight edge and
tack it to a tree, if one happens to be
available. in a line with these two
stakes. Put the board at such a height
that you can readily sight over it and
carefully level this board by means of
the spirit level. Then sight it over to-
ward one of the stakes, having some
one at that stake who will, by means
of a small piece of paper. locate the
point at which your line of vision cuts
it-in other words. where a line pro-
jected from your sighting board would
strike the stake. Make some sort of
mark at this point and then sight to
the other stake in the same way and
mark the point where the line would
strike it BY measuring distances that
these two points are above the ground
you can get the difference in levels
with reasonable accuracy. For in
stance, if your line of vision has cut
one stake eight feet from the ground
and the other one five feet from the
ground. then obviously the difference
in level is three feet. or, in other words,
the VICINITY IF tho stake IN which Tho
mark is FIVE feet from the ground is
three feet higher than the other stake.
and you will have a three foot fall
from draining from this point to the
other.-Farp1ing.

Aims From a Tomb.

A remarkable custom which has
been uninterruptedly in force for 800
years Is yearly observed at Ideford, a
secluded parish a few miles from
Chudleigh. 1t is that of picking up
aims from the donors tomb in the
churchyard. The rector and church
warden stand at one end of the tomb,
upon the fat top of which they place
coins. The recipients of the charity
come up one by one to the other end
Of the tomb and pick up the money

Bird Structure.

Birds belong to the vertebrates, or
backboned animals. They are distin-
guished from the rest of the verte-
brates by the graceful outlines Of their
bodies. by their clothing of feathers
toothless jaws and the fore limbs. or
wings. being adapted to flying. Nature
has made many wonderful provisions
in the bird, especially in the formation
and arrangement Of the bones. These
are compact and in many cases hollow,
thus com bining lightness with strength
The first bone of the backbone is sc
freely jointed to the skull that birds
can turn their heads around and look
directly back.

A WERFULf ESTER
Which Any One Can Prepare and
Find Relief From All Intestinal
Discomfort.

Discomfort.
This simple but powerful prescrip-
ton will enable those with "finicky"
stomachs to eat what they please,
when and where they please, WITHOUT
any distressing after effects. Says a
noted Battle Creek specialist: Il al
ways prescribe the following with the
greatest success, for indigestion, acute
or chronic dyspepsia, sour stomach,
constipation, depression, languor,
blues, wind and gas on stomach and
bowels, heart palpitation and bilious
ness. The results are prompt and last
ing from these harmless but powerful
ly blended extracts and essences. If
not in stock, any druggist can obtain
these ingredients from wholesale firms
who supply our profession with rare
conce ntrations. Take a six-ounce or
half-pint bottle and get two ounces
syrup OF Ginger, one ounce Comp. es-
sence Of Cardiol, and two ounces Of
essence of Pepsin. Mix and shake
we'll; then take one or two teaspoon
fuls after each meal. One spoonful
before eating will give god appetite
One or two at retiring will relieve
constipation. Give it to children who
have stomachache, bad breath or bow
Ell trouble. 1t may be taken freely,
being entirely harmless and much bet
ter than any patent medicine contain
ing opiates and enslaving drugs"

The Word "CranL !.

Crank in the sense of an eccentric
person Is a new word. The very first
written instance of crank in the mod
ern sense that could be found for DR..
Murray's dictionary was in the reports
of the trial of Guiteau, President Gar
fields murderer. Guiteau's reference
to somebody as a crank gave the word
vogue that has gone on spreading.
But the adjective cranky was known
In 1877 as meaning sickly tthe German
"krank"l. and to Dickens in the senses
Of cross and crochety. In all its mean
ings 1t springs from the root idea of
crookedness. as does crank in its six
teenth century sense Of a deceitful
Trick, as in "quips and cranks."

A Hen Hunt.

An English paper says that the hat

the spectacle of a hatless and breath.

Another Happy Incident

The opening day Of the Regatta
was not without its extra happy Incl,
dents, not the least of which was the
homecoming of the American ship
Henry Willard. with 200 or more AS
torians on board, glad to get here
after four long months in Alaska, in
the interest OF. the Alaska Fishermen's
Packing Company, of this city. The
fine old ship swung up the harbor on
the tow-lines Of the bar tug Wallula
right in the midst of the afternoon
program, and the interchange of re-
sounding cheers between shore and
ship was among the very pleasantest
incidents of long and jolly day. The
Willard berthed at the A. & c. docks,
and up at the office of the company,
Mr.. Noonan had everything in perfect
readiness for the reception and pay
ment of the company's faithful host
of employees.
