The Cause Of Snorino.

This is not for you, because you
never snore No one ever does snOre
himself. 1t is always the other fellow,
But you can read this and then tell
that guilty other fellow how to LreaI;
himself of his bad habit. for snoring
is merely bad habit and as such
can be overcome. 1t is caused pri
marily by improper brcathing-that is
breathing through the mouth instead
of through the nostrils-so, first of all
care should be taken during wakin:
hours to breathe correctly. The habit
once formed of keeping the mouth n,
firmly closed as possible, he will be
less likely to sleep with it open. Then
see that your troublesome snorer has
a proper pillow. He should sleep with
his head as nat as possible, for II !F-s
head is pushed forward and the neck
bent the tongue drops back agains'
the soft palate and forms an obstl,l-
ton which makes all the unmus'1..
sounds we hear when the air is forced
past it.-St. James Gazette.

The Gods Bill of Fare.

An interesting exhibit in the souti,
Kensington museu1R London, Illus
trates the omnivorohs nature of tln
Gods diet. Among the fish falling 4
prey to its voracious maws we note
the young of the herring, dab, whiting
and sand eel. Shrimps and young lob
sters also form an important item il
the Gods menu. The strangest part o!
the Gods diet perhaps is the sea mouse
whose thick covering of brlstles might
be thought to render it unwelcome tc
any stomach. Large whelks and shells
Of whelks with their indwelling hermit
crabs are also largely devoured. Freh
Its partially to mollusks, in fact, the
cod may become an assistant to th'
shell collector Woodward in his "Man
ual Of the Mollusca'' remarks tina
"some good northern seashells have
been rescued unbroken from the stom
ach of the cod."-London Globe.

Tocthpicka

ToothpicEs were in common use IN
Ancient Rome. Sometimes they were
made Of Cuills. but preferably OF the
wood OF the mastic or lentisk tree

The toothpick was taken to England
BIZ travellers from Italy and France.

Nkoheraft In the Nineteenth Century.
Most people believe that witchcraft
among civilized people ended when the
''Salem witch mania" ran its course
and died out IN the year 1892. 1t did
- far as America is concerned, except
among savages, but In other countries
The belief in the superstition did not
de until a much later date, even II 1t
can be truly said to be dead now. In
France an old beggar was tortured to
death as late as 1907 on the charge OF
being one who "communed with evi!
Spirits" and in Spain q witch war
burned In 1908. In 1850 In France q
man and his wife tortured suspected
witch to death, and nothing at all was
done with them by the criminal courts
on account OF the lingering belief in
sorccry. Four years later witch was
drowned in England, and in 1880 one
was burned in Mexico. In 1874, 1879
1880 and again in 1889 witches were
publicly burned in Russia. and even
as late as 1890 regular judicial trials
Of witches were had in Prussia. Pc

The Vanishing Trick.

Into the grocer's shop walked an an.
l0ht lady with slow and hating
|Stead and carrying on her arm a has-
/eet containing large carthenware pot
with lid. Placing the basket on the
counter, she made various purchases.
which she put carefully in the pot and
had her bill made out.
''By the way" she said before paying
this, do YOU mind keeping this pot
with tho purchases in it until l come
back and pay for them, as l have to
buy other things some distance on
and it will lie more convenient for me
to leave the things here till later?'
This request was willingly acceded

Of the basket, the old dame placed It.
with an effort, in a corner; then, plac
ing her basket on her arm, left the
chop. Hours went by, day ripened
into evening, and evening gave way
10 night, but the old woman did not
return. At last the proprietor thought
