Keen the Balance I'm

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. Nobody
can be too careful to keep this balance
up. When people begin to lose appe-
tite, or to get tired easily, the least
imprudence brings on sickness, weak
ness, or debility. The system needs a
tonic, Graves is, and should not be de-
MED it, and the best tonic of which we

hardly possible The legislators bound for

They have the option either voting for the district choice

This allows the representatives discretion and also
tends to strengthen the party spirit whereas the popular

has redeemed the promise of the party PLATFORM and given
the people opportunity to choose their candidates
for all state county and municipal Offices by direct vote
The evils of bosssm and prearranged slate and wholesale
trading of votes exemp6ed in the convention system
abolished least that is the hope held by the
formers Conventions will still be held but only for the
purpose announcing party policies and to select managing
committees. Altogether the republican majority in the
Legislature is deserving of great credit for the manner in
which the primary law has been enacted the face of much
opposition and adverse criticism 1t may not prove in actual

A LITTLE FIsH'S TRICK.
How the Puffer Discounts ~ Enemy
and Saves Himself.

How the Puffer Discounts ~ Enemy
and Saves Himself.
All the little sea folk have their
own clever way of protecting them
selves from their enemies, but the
spiny boxfish has about the cleverest
way of all.
He belongs to the great family called
puffer, and you will see in moment
how well the name fits him.
Just imagine the little puffer swim
ming around in the water looking like
a small round box with a head on. A
big fish comes along. sees the little
puffer and thinks: There's just q
good mouthful for mep' But just as
he darts toward him the little puffer
blows himself up like a ball, turns
over on his back and floats around
with all his sharp prickers sticking
out toward his enemy.
The big fish is dazed I,e stares ut
the puffer and thinks, "Ca that great
priclly thing be the samf little fish
l tried to swallowT He can't un-
derstand it, but he sees there Is no
use trying, so he goes sadly on his
way, and when the little puffer is
sure he is gone he just empties the
water out Of his skin and goes back
to his usual size.
Now, isn't that pretty clever trick
for little fish to play? But, you see,
Mother Nature gave the Hittle puffer
just that kind of body that he might
escape from his enemies.-St. Nicho-
las.

A SCOTCH RING.
One of the Royal Jewels, It Had a
Melancholy History.

One of the Royal Jewels, II Had a
Melancholy History.
The traditional history of the Scotch
regalia ring is of the most tragic, not
to say melancholy, character. 1t is be-
lieved that it was the favorite ring Of
Mary Stuart and that after her jul
dicial murder in Fotheringay castle it
was transmitted to her son. From
James it descended to Charles l., at
whose coronation at Scone in 1888 it
played a distinct part. Once more did
this i'll fated ring figure at an UI timely
and i'll merited death, for, will almost
his last breath upon the scaffold at
Whitehall, Charles bequeathed it to
Bishop JuXon in trust for his son.
In due course of time the ring came
into the possession Of James II. and
was carried away with him on his
fight to the continent. When. however,
he was detained by the fishermen at
Sheerness, the ring. which had been
secreted in the kings Undertaking,
only escaped robbery by the luckiest
of mistakes on the part of the sailor
who searched him. Thus the ring was
passed on uninjured to James de-
scendants till by beQuest of Cardinal
York it became the property Of the
reigning dynasty once more and was
by them replaced among the royal
jewels of Scotland, from which it had
been separated for many long year.
