MOTHER AND CHILD.

Both Fully NOurished on Grape-Nuts.
The value of this famous food is
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from. it's chemi-
cal analysis.
Grape Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these cereals.
It contains also the phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains, which Nature
uses to build up brain and nerve cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because the
brain and nervous system Of the child
grows so rapidly.
A Va. mother found the value Of
Grape-Nuts in not only building up her
own strength but in nourishing her
baby at the same time. She writes:
after my baby came 1 did not re-
cover health and strength, and the doc
tor said 1 could not nurse the baby as
i did not have nourishment for her,
besides 1 was too weak.
HE said l might try cnange OIL
diet and see what that would do. and
recommended Grape-Nuts food, l
bought a pkg. and used It regularly.
A marked change came over both baby
and I.
my baby is now four months old,
is in fine condition, 1 am nursing her
and doing all my work and never felt
better In my life" There's a Rea-
son."

They was three sisters, all married

goin' away together with their young
men on a second honeymoon just rs

their private individool ones. They
was goin' down into Pennsylvania an

an then was comm back some round

acrost into Massachusetts an home.

had sent trunks by express to meet
them at their friends.

an there was the three gals all gain

about larks an heaven an things, an
the men lookin' on delighted.

blushed an bowed. But l had t.

Lengthy Lineage.

In LEAVES from the Note Books Of
Lady Dorothy Nevill," recently edited
by Lady Dorothy's son, Ralph Nevill,
there is an amusing story Of an old peer
whose considerable family pride was
agreeably tempered with humor.
One day he was surprised to be told
by his sister that she had conceived a
great affection for a well known al
though somewhat eccentric man of sci
ence who, although generally esteemed,
was Of very humble Semitic origin.
Not quite determined as to what
course Of action he should take, he sent
for the prospective bridegroom with the
intention Of talking matters over. After
some conversation, he said:
"And now, sir, 1 should like to know
something about your family"
Il think" replied the other, that it
will be sufficient to say that am Of the
descent of the illustrious blood of Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob"
"Oh," said the peer, "of course our
family has nothing to compare with
that. If my sister really likes you, you
had better take her"

a lavish worshiper of blue blood, but

The speaker was an actress. The
scene was one of Mr.. Martins teas at

HAND-sTRETCHER matter of waiting I'M
til the hand grows, but with. the older
persons there is no promised relief. 1t
seems to be essential that the fingers
should stretch the length Of the octave.
A device has been recently made by an
Austrian music teacher by which the
hand may be stretched into the proper
shape and size in the same manner as
a glove. This apparatus is shown here
with. 1t consists of a seE<circular
plate with q groove extending across
its face, and in the groove there are
projections capable of being secured at
any point and between which the fin
gers are held. BY subjecting the hand
to frequent treatment in this it is soon
made extremely flexible and the extern
sion considerably increased without
any damage or risk Of injury. This
same result is said to be accomplished
sometimes by the aid of an operation
which is always, however, attended
with some risk, and it is contended by
some that 1t means a sacrifice Of the
strength of the hand, which is just as
essential as anything else to the plan

AN ANGRY LION.
Movements that Always Precede the
Animals Spring.

Movements that Always Precede the
Animals Spring.
A lions first signs of anger are as
follows: It's tail rapidly twists from
CO. to side, the bottom slightly raising
ana che black tassel at the end beat
ing the air. 1t lowers It's head more
than usual and growls, at intervals
showing it's teeth. Then its voice be-
comes louder. 1t roars, shows its teeth
and lowers it's ears, the movements Of
the tail increasing all the time.
At the time of charging-that is, at
the height Of it's anger-the tail rises
in the air until it is almost vertical,
the black tassel continues to move, the
ears are fiattened completely, and the
animal comes toward you at a. slow
trot, then at a gallop, and finally
springs forward with open mouth and
extended claws.
Sometimes it shows these various
symptoms without charging, restrained
by prudence, but it never charges with
out showing them. When the tail rises
the hunter can bring his rife to the
shoulder and await his opportunity. In
hunting man who is on his guard is
worth four.
"A charge is extremely dangerous, al
most always fatal when unexpected,
either because of the dense vegetation
or other causes, but if you see the ami
NAL getting ready fight is useless.
Stand your ground. The only thing to
do is to keep cool and trust in your
weapon. If you have no confidence in
yourself it is prudent to avoid measur-
ing your strength against these ami

A Boy ON CIergymen.

Bishop Potter, at an ecclesiastical
dinner in New York, read a Coopers-
town school boys essay on Clergymen.
The essay, which created much amuse-
ment, was as follows:
"There are kinds of clergymen bish-
ups rectors and curats. the bishups tell
the recters to work and the curats have
to do it. A curate is a thin married
man but when he is a recter he gets
fuller and can preach longer sermons
and becums a good man."

Trout for Stevens County Streams

The county commissioners Saturday
appropriated out of the county game
fund $1,000 and gave County Auditor
Savage authority to purchase from the
hartford fish hatchery as many small
fry as might be demanded by citizens OF
different parts of the county to be used
in stocking streams with trout. The
native trout in the streams in Stevens
county had become so depleted five or
six years ago that many citizens, in
order to guard against further def
cheney, annually ordered trout from the
government. The consignments of
trout have proved so successful that the
planting of the young fish will be con-
tinued until the streams are thoroughly
stocked up.-Examiner.
An effort should be made by the local
fisherman to have portion of the trout
placed in the streams of the eastern
portion of the county. They have also
become badly depleted during the past
few years.
