good substitute for cod liver oil. Par

Bananas are beneficial to sufferers from

Beet-root IS fattening and good for peo-

toes are good for a torpid liver, but
should be avoided by gouty people
Lettuce has a soothing effect on the
nerves and is excellent for sufferers
from insomnia Spinach has great
aperient qualities, and is far better
than medicine for sufferers from con-
stipation. The juice of lemon is
excellent for sore throat. but should
not be swallowed but used as a gargle.

bread and pies, and on each bite OF
food we eat they wipe their nasty,
dirty feet They buzz around defying
foes, and dance upon your face and
nose, and then without apparent fear
they dig and tunnel IN the ear. They
light upon your hairless head at
early dawn when you're abed. They
fly and frolic everywhere and make

bake; they drop down in the coffee

up. With nimble feet and active wing

by dots upon the window pane. Then
bring the swatter forth and swat, and
teach the flies they mustn't dot; bring

A Disappointment.

For weeks and weeks he had been
suspicious OF his wife. but for weeks
and weeks he had carried a smiling
face and held her on his knee as IL
he believed in her as he did in his
holy grandmother. All things come
to the husband who waits and there
came an evening when a district mes
senger boy delivered letter into the
wifes hand. The crafty husband was
hunting for u collar button at the
moment. but he was not deceived.
His first impulse was to rush upon
the lalthless wife and brain her or at
least break her neck, but he got a
grip on himself and waited for q more
complete vengeance.
AT midnight that night. after pre-
tending sleep for two hours and after
making sure that the wife really
slumbered, the husband crept out Of
bed TO go through her dress and Sc
cure the letter He moved inch by
inch. He held his breath. Goose
pimples formed on his legs. 1t took
him 81 minutes by the clock to find
her pocket, but he persevered, and
the damming epistle was ut last in
his hands. In his heart he was VOW
ing TO show no mercy, to cut her up
with dul! hatchet inch by inch. when
he suddenly heard her voice saving:
Il was going to pay 1t out of my
own pin money. John. but i'll be aw-
fully glad to have you take it off my
hands,
Woman, what means this?" he
shouted as he tore the letter from its
envelope.

LAST EMPIRE OF
 THE UNITED STATES

C. M. Harvey, in the Atlantic for April.
 When the war Of 1872 broke out Aster asked President Madison for letters of 1narque to equip an armed vessel at hIs own expense to defend his Pacific colony, but the appeal was ignored. Had that small favor been granted, Astor would probably have maintained himself at As foria, despite the apathy or treachery of his British partners. If there had been man of imagination and courage in the White House in those days-a man like Roosevelt, or like Jefferson-this reasona- ble measure Of recognition would have been granted.
 If they had been granted, what would have been the outcome7 With his large resources, his sea base and his Russian affiliations, it is extremely probable that Astor would have shut out the Hudson's Bay and the Northwest eompanles from all trade west of the Rocky mountains; that controversy with England over the title to the Oregon region, then including everything up to the Alaskan line. which ended in 1S46 by the compromise that gave us all the territory below the 49th parallel would have been ayerted; the present British Columbia and Yukon, which were not valued highly by anybody in those days, would have been ours by the peace able process of occupation and expansion, and then when California came into our hands in 134S, and when Rnsia handed over
