The Steamboat Whistle.

Have you ever wondered what
sounds travel the furthest? If you
live in a great city you are constant
ly enveloped in such a multitude of
noises that it is very seldom that any
particular one attracts the attention
unless it be unusually sharp or stri-
dent, and although piercing, such a
sound Is not likely to carry any great
distance. The higher notes are ex-
ceedingly penetrating for a short ra-
dius, and unquestionably more start
ling than the lower ones, but the lat.
ter are much more far-reaching.
The ability Of a sound to carry de-
ponds upon it's vibrations, and any
one who has listened to the deep
notes Of a pipe organ in a church will
admit that he could almost feel the
air vibrate. But probably a steam
boat whistle, such as are common on
the Ohio and Mississippi packets, can
be heard as far as any sound that
may ordinarily be met with. The
deep Of its tones floating
steadily out into the air, seem to
stretch away indefinitely into space,
especially in the stiffness of a night
In the country. 1t is a sound that
cannot be mistaken for any other,
and when once its acquaintance has
been made you will never forget 1t.

Top Notch of Fashion.

Within a few years there has been
a remarkable growth of tearooms In
Paris.
For years the only was Neale's.
Neale long kept the only English
bookstore in Paris, and over 1t he
had a tearoom, where the English
papers were on file.
Printed injunctions OF "Silence"
were hung about, in~terspersed with
illuminated texts from the Bible. 1t
was a most incongruous spot in Paris,
which Is singularly ignorant Of both
silence and the Bible.
Now, however, English tearooms
are springing up all over Paris. They
exist for tea alone. From four to six
English specialties can DE obtained,
like toasted mullins and scenes.
There Is music, and some of them are
exceedingly fashionable.
At Rumpermeyer's women dressed
by the great modistes are sent every
day to advertise the toilettes of the
house by wearing them through the
tea hours. Even the men are be-
ginning to desert absinthe and fire.
quent the tearvoms in great num-
bers.
A curious inference of the new in
stitution upon ascient customs Is that
the French woman may go alone to
the English tearooms; the first pub
lie eating place in Paris, according to
the Travel Magazine, in which the
privilege has been hers. 1t is the
English woman's contribution to the
emancipation of her sisters across the
Channel.

FOOD FACTS
What an Nj. ID. Learned.

A prominent Georgia physician
went through a food experience which
he makes public:
1T was my own experience that
first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts
food and l also know. from having
prescribed 1t to c~onvalescents and
other weak patients, that the food Is
a wonderful rebuilder and restorer
Of nerve and brain tissue, as well as
muscle. It improves the digestion
and sick patients always gain just as
I did in strength and weight very ZAP
idly.
II was in such a low state that
had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains of this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact, l was not quite as well as
when / left home.
my food did not sustain me and
it became plain that | must change.
Then l began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks | could walk a mile
without fatigue, and in five weeks
returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since
that time l have felt as we'll and
strong as l ave did in my life.
"As a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers, l consider it a duty to
make these facts public"
Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when
the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body, will work miracles.
There's a Reason"
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, THE Road to W%ellville."
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full Of human
interest.

Grain Growing in Alaska.

Agriculture in Alaska will become
as great a source of wealth as gold
or "copper"" said R. w. Wiley, who
has a mining camp at the head Of the
White River in that Territory. There
are numerous extensive farms in the
Pelly River valley on the Canadian
side, where the finest grain Is grown.
I know of one ranch Of 100 acres In
that section which the owner planted
in oats, and last year the crop was
5000 bushels. When it is considered
that these oats bring as high as six
cents a pound it can be figured what
an immense income a be derived.
"In my section there are no rail-
roads, and the people are practically
isolated from the rest of the world
for several months during the winter
season. They get no mail of any
kind. There are hundreds up there
who do not know yet who is Presi-
dent, and they will not know until
they come down In the spring.

Love Among Alligators.

"Now is the mating time among
the alligators," said the man with the
alligator bag. 1.-THE Everglades day
and night resound with the deep bel
lowings Of bull alligators serenading
the females of their choice.
"The bull makes a good, true hus-
band. The female makes a devoted
wife and mother. The home nest Is
built of sticks and mud, oval in shape
and a yard or more long, on the
banks Of some Shiny stream. The
eggs number two or three dozen
eggs twice as long as a hens but no
bigger around. They hatch Of their
own accord. They don't need to be
sat on. Isn't it convenient?
"The father and mother alligators
swim and hunt at their ease in the
stagnant water, and every day or so
they climb up the muddy bank and
see how their thirty-six eggs are get
ting on. The eggs get on all right
till Matching time, when the alligator
dealer carries them off in an alligator
bag."-Philadelphia Bulletin.

Uoisters of Westminster Abbey.


When Parliament reassembles a
question will, I am informed, be adj
dressed to the First Commissioner Of
Works regarding the Chapel Of the
Pyx in the dark cloisters Of West
Minister Abbey. This ancient vaulted
chamber, the opening of which to the
public has been often rumored In
recent years, was formerly the de-.
posititory Of the regalia Of the Scot
tisn kings. Some time ago it was
thoroughly cleaned out and the cleo
trio light installed. In the lumber
removed were many Of the old tally
sticks with which the national ac-
counts we're at one time kept, the
immoderate burning of which in q
small stove led to the conflagration5
which consumed the houses Of Parlia-
ment early in the last century.
Another apartment = mistakenly
called the Monks Cell-close to the
historic chapel has also been cleaned
out, and It is suggested that this and
the other vaults might be used for
The exhibition of relics associated with
this interesting quarter Of the Abbey.
These include a stone altar, a stone
coffin and some wooden figures OF
Henry v. and Queen Elizabeth. The
Pyx chamber has from time imme-
mortal remained in the exclusive pos
session of the Crown, and its massive
door, on the inside Of which some
fragments of human flesh were at
one time to be seen, can only be
opened by the officers of the govern
ment for the time being.-LondoD

II CARAVAN.

Came a slow, weary caravan along the
deserts bitter way, .
And many hearts grew sick and yearned
for promise of a sweeter day;
Then 10, the mirage sprang to birth, city OF
iridescent dreams,
Whose rosy light, from Beauty''s sun,
through walls of flowers Sits and
CLEANS.
IT'S but the deserts lie" some cried;
The wiser answered; Nay. Not so!
It's the reflection, snatched atar, from
genuine scenes that truly glow"
Came a slow, tired caravan along the
desert ways of sorrow;
Then 10, a mirage sprang to birth, bright
picturing Heavens promised morr @,
" It's but religions lie," some cried. The
wiser answered: NAY! Know ye-
IT'S the reflection snatched afar by Life
from Immortality"

Sustaining Life

Mrs. Andrew Crosse, in her Rem
~Iniscences, describes an old nurse,
born at ~Broomfeld, who lived to be
nearly a hundred. "All her life she
had eaten a dew bit and breakfast, a
stay bit and dinner, a nommet and
crummet and a bit after supper
eight meals in all. Besides this it
was her invariable custom to mix to-
gether all the doctors stuff left after
any illness in the house and swallow

I'm due at this moment to speak at
that campaign rally; so don't worry
that's a dear, sensible little hus-
band-and don't sit up for mel" And
with a hurried kiss she slammed the
door, and he was left alone In the
darkness.
AS the carriage rolled onward in
the darkness, he sank back despair
ingly. His lips ~quivered, and he
broke into a passion of sobbing.

What We May See.


AS the curtain descended upon the
first act, she arose abruptly, and with
ill-concealed impotence.
'"Sorry, DEAR" she begun brusque-
ly, "but I shall have to leave you for
a few moments. 1t Is absolutely i'm
perative that I should see a woman
outside" And without waiting for
remonstrance, or meeting the appeal
ing, reproachful gaze upturned to
hers, she extracted her hat and cane
and departed.
A e sense of hurt and disap-
pointment crept yer the young hus-
band of but a few short weeks. He
looked about him. All over the thea
tire we're men lonely as himself, fan
ming themselves with forced smiles,
waiting patiently till their escort
should return. He remembered his
dear fathers parting advice, and his
soft eyes slowly filled.
After all, perhaps he alone had
been to blame. It was the first e
ing in a fortnight she had spared
him from her club-and he had con-
cocted such a dear little supper to
please her! But he had been late. In
dressing and had sent her back at
the last moment for his gloves.
Not until the very close did she re-
appear. Then, as she assisted him to
the carriage a fresh misgiving smote
him suddenly.
Darling" he began, falteringly.
"Now, Herbert, don't be foolish! !
hate a scene," she interrupted hastily.
