ADVICE BROUGHT UP TO DATE
Little Story Suggests Improvement ea
 crockett's Words of Wisdom.

The other day a man travelling on c shore line train noticed, protrudina from an overhead rack. dress suit case which he recognized as belonging to a friend. He knew that his friend always got on at the station which they had just passed. and as he was not in the seat the conclusion was in- evitable that he had jumped off the train and forgotten it.
 The man called the conductor and explained the case to him. After some discussion and a mild protest on the part of the conductor that it wasn't a part of his duty, the suit case was put oh at the next station. with instructions to send it back oA the first train the other way.
 The man, feeling that he had done an able and friendly act settled down for the rest of his journey.
 But not for longl The face of his friend-who had been in the smoker. and who happened on that particular afternoon, to be going to New London to attend dinner party--loomed bs. fore him.
 The moral of this Is, of course. quite evident.
 Be sure you're right, and then mind your own business.-Life.

 Early the next morning he heard their eager questions and the patient: "Yes, dear" of the mother as she tried to dress them. and looking but he saw a small white foot protruding beyond the opposite curtain. Reaching across the aisle, he took hold of the large toe and began to recits: This little pig went to market, this little pig stayed at home; this little pig had roast beef, this little pig had none; this little pig cried wee wee all the way home" The foot was suddenly withdrawn and a cold. quiet voice said: That is quite sufficient. thank you"

Hard Wood For California,

The Pacific coast will soon be the
scene Of an interesting tree growing
experiment. The United States forest
service is planning to introduce
number of the more important east
ern hard woods into California and
will this year experiment with chest
nut, hickory, Eastwood, red oak and
yellow poplar or tulip trees. Small
patches of these trees will be planted
near the forest rangers cabins on the
national forests, and if these do well
larger plantations on commercial
scale will soon be established on wider
areas.
There are over 125 different species
of trees in California, a number of
which produce some of the most valua-
BILE varieties of lumber in the country.
Although considerably over one-half
of the species are hardwood or broad
leaved trees, yet, with the exception
of the exotic eucalyptus, there is not
a single species of hard wood in Cali
fornia ranking in commercial impor-
tance.-Railroad and Locomotive En-

fact that the American Liver Tablets
are perfect laxative They are purely
vegetable and act as tonic to the
stomach and bowels as we'll as a mild
stimulant to the liver The habit of
constipation is one of the chief causes of
ill health. Drinking plenty of cold water,
eating coarse food, physical exercise,
regularity in habit, will cure a large
percentage of the cases, Yet many
require a laxative at times and every
home should contain The American
Liver Tablets as part of the home equip
ment. The dose is one or two at night;
children one-half tablet. They are sugar
coated. They never cause gripping or
any bad effect The American Liver
Tablets can be bought at any drug

To Reproduce the Bio Pyramid.

A painstaking compiler has just
written a paper which gives the esti-
mated cost OF reproducing the great
pyramid of Cheops. The author as
sumes that the material should be
equally as good as that of the original
and that all the chambers and pas
sages should be reproduced. The
length of the sides of the pyramid are
at present 746 feet. the height 454 feet
and the area of the base 1874 acres.
To build it there would be required
3313,000 cubic yards of coarse lime
stone as backing stone, 100000 GU
bic yards Of fine limestone as facing
stone, 1000 cubic yards of granite as
facing stone and 1000 cubic yards of
polished facing granite. The total cost
of the above would be atfeast $36,000,-
000 and the labor required would be
?4000,000 days work.

Old Time Solicitations.

1t was the custom in France in the
seventeenth century to kiss a lady
when sauting her and continued in
common usage in England for hun
dred years later. Royal salutations in
France required extreme formality.
One saluted the bed on entering the
royal bedchamber, and in approaching
the apartments of the king all head
covering, the skullcap of priests in
cluded, had to be removed. In salut-
ing queens and princesses one kissed
the hem Of the robe.
