and Emaclateo.


In these days of physical culture
and health foods, one would hardly
expect to see any thin. weak,
emaciated people. hut in spite OF all
this. nearly every person you meet
is thin and scrawny.
Good healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use of proper food
with thorough assimilation of the fat

ten in order TO weight as much as
they ought and be perfectly healthy
should use Samose. the great flesh
forming food. Weigh Yourself before
commencing to use these little tab

Samose has valuable f1eshforming
and tissue building properties, and
when ii is assimiated with the food
II causes the flesh. making elements

FIRST AND LAST APPEARANCE.
Only Occasion on Which Casey Was
 Admitted to ParIor.

An old Irishman named Casey made a lot of money as a contractor and built fine house for his children.
 The sons and daughters were much ashamed of the plebeian father, and Casey was always kept in the rear of the house when they had party or reception. One day Casey died, and there was great to-do about it. The children had a fine coffin, with plenty of flowers, and Casey was laid in state in the parlor
 That evening an old Irish woman, who had known Casey when he was laborer, came and asked to see the face of Ter dead friend. They con ducted her to the parlor.
 She walked up to the coffin, took a long look, and said:
 Faith, Casey, an they've let ye into tn parlor at lasht."

 Grizzlies Eat VjoIets.

In one. locality the grizzly of the Rockies Is found eating the fresh sprig of thc dcg-tooth violet and the green leaves e the spring beauties. says Fur News, while a few hundred miles further on, to the north or south as the case may be, the grizzly doesn't touch them
 Instead he may be discovered munching at the young shoots of the shooting star, down in the Bitter Root mountain country, for instance, among the towering peaks of the higher Rockies. Upon this question of locality which is often overlooked or even ignored by nature writers, lies the solution of many warmly dis. puted points between those who tell the public at large all about nature and its animals.

HER MOMENT OF COMPLETE JOY.
When Grandmother Reads First Let

You may talk about great state pa- pers, of presidents messages, of royal exchanges of salutations, and all that sort of thing. but when you want to strike chord that beats in harmony with the human heart, just see that grandmother reading that first letter from her grandchild All time and space, and things created and uncre ated. are concreted into the bliss of the moment, when the dear woman drinks in the meaning of those awk- ward, hesitating, incongruous lines, which with all their crudities, still seem stately and dignified under the emotion of first great effort.
 There is nothing like it. Shake speare never matched it. Dante reads like an almanac by the side of it. It is revelation that makes St. Johns seem insipid and pale.

ASK TIE WRONG QUESTION.

N. Lyman Abbott is noted cler syman, so noted that he is edi- tor of The Outlook, the magazine of which Theodore Roosevelt IS assistant editor. In a recent ar ticle he says: Tn the past ter wears my ministerial work has been mai oly with colleges. l cannot re- call that during that time anyone has said to me: What can 1 do to be saved?' But a great many have said to me, What can do to save otherS?" This is the spirit of the pres mt age. Every man seems tc think his ideas, however marrow they may be, are all right and very important, but that others should be e. axed from the error of their ways. All over the country you see conceited men of little virtue nele ting their own faults, and try ing to reform other men more worthy than they are. This has gone on so long and so persistent ly thlt everything has been at tack d. as result, there is reigr of ahlse and falsehood that is dis grac eful.

There are many good voices among the students of the department, and some of these have solo parts in the simple little love story that forms the basis of the whole, while others lead splendid choruses of 40 or 50 girls. In ad- dition to the attraction of the music the marches and drills will add much to the charm

seeds, too, come from abroad. Let me show you some of the baby plants These,' pointing to box containing some grass like blades of green, are palms from seedlings such as this,'' digging a germ mating seed almost the size of thimbe from an adjoining box. Palms are really giant grasses, as you will see from the young plants resemblance to grass, wheat and such things. These palm seeds come from South America, Mexico and other tropical countries as do the seeds for these fancy calladums which tinted they are in their mother country, but never reach the giant height achieved there. These plants, miniature elephant ears are wonderful with their wierd markings of white and crimson against a green background
 Strolling through the T houses filled with an almost ineonceivable variety of flowers and plants, one feels the spell of their sweetness and beauty.

This is one of several nurse ries about Birmingham which are decided ornaments to the city and from a visit to any of them may be gathered inspiration for the growth of a splendid garden. There are many in Birmingham, too, who are making a study of flowers with the re- suit to be noted in the increasing beauty of our homes.

 "The first payment has been made and we expect to make the rest in deferred payments. N
 We have decided upon this plan after becoming satisfied that the city Is not just now in the condition to meet the cam paign for the whole amount. We have postponed asking any further help until later The ladies all feel very grateful for the response, generous in the extreme, which met our efforts during the three or four days work"
