An Instantaneous Cure.

During the cattle plague of 1866 a farmer who had lost number of his cows grew so depressed that he fully persuaded himself he had also con- tracted the disease. The medical man whom he consulted tried in vain to laugh him out of his fears, but sub sequently. being fond of joke. pre- tended to agree with the patients views and solemnly told him if be would attend to his instructions he would be cured. He then gave the farmer prescription, which he direct ed should be taken to neighboring druggist. but when the latter opened the envelope and read the contents he was as much startled as the farmer. for the prescription was as follows: 'This man has the cattle plague. Take him into the back yard and shoot him according 10 act of parliament.
 The cure was instantaneous dee Advertiser.

One evening while she was there two women came up to the window and asked for two seats. The man xas just about to hand them over when one of them said:
 Wait . bit. young man. Tell me. is this a funny show? We are pretty par ticuiar. read in the paper that it was or wasn't frisky-I can't remem. Der which-and I'd like 10 know for certain"

 The carrier could not refuse.
 Being duly weighed. the bag was found to he heavier by the weight of the cheese inside. A new invoice was made out. and the crestfallen carrier went away.
 The farmers wife at once missed the cheese. and, rushing to the yard. told her husband that some thief had stolen the cheese.

Fate.

The sky is eleuded. the rocks are bare. The spray of the tempest Is white in the air, The winds are out with the waves at play. And i shall not tempt the sea today. The trail is narrow, the wood is dim, The panther clings to the arching limb. And the lions whelps are abroad at play. And 1 shall not join in the chase today. But the ship sailed safely over the sea. And the hunters came from the chase in glee. And the town that was built upon a rock Was swallowed up in the earthquake shock

Curious Mourning Custom,

curious mourning custom obtains
among central Australians, who, al
though representing, perhaps, the low
est and most degraded type of human
beings. have managed TO evolve a most
complex system Of rites and ceremo.
MES, which governs almost every &C.
ton OF their lives. When husband
dies, the widow paints herself all over
with white pigment. and for the space
OF a year must not exhibit herself to a
male member of the tribe on pain OF
death. For the rest of her life. unless
she marrieS again, which is sometimes
allowed, she must not speak, but com.
municate with the other women by
means Of sign arguage, consisting
or movements OF the hands and fin.
gers, which has been developed by
these savages 10 marvellous extent,
and by which their limited stock OF
ideas can be fully expressed.

ALL HAIL THE FOOD TaeLETsl
No Dishes, No Kitchen Work, Hence
No Household Drudgery.

How would you like to throw away
all your kitchen utensils and most Of
the dishes; send your flour, meats,
spices and other pantry stuff to a
charitable association; turn the kitch-
en- into a den or sunroom; turn the
pantry unto a coy corner, and live on
nuts, fruits and food in tablet form?
It's long question and it isn't abso-
lutely new, but it comes in for consid-
GRAFTON in connection with the recent
discussion Of How to Get Rid Of
Household Drudgery," says the Kan
sas City Times. .
The suggestion was made in good
faith by a woman who believes in the
system. She advocates it without re-
gard to the fact that such plan of
near eating" would rob life Of it's
dearest privilege. that of gazing Oh
and devouring the luscious roasts and
broils that competent cooks prepare,
to say nothing Of potatoes mashed,
hashed or Drowned with butter and
gravy and pumpkin pie.
"This is no jest" the writer of the
essay says. 1T has been my dream
for years. There is only one solution
to the problems of housekeeping, only
one way to escape the ills that come
from unwise eating. Do away with
the kitchen and pantry, live on fresh
fruits, nuts and condensed foods in
tablet form. Have a refrigerator or,
better still, a cold storage room where
drinking water may be cooled and the
: fruits chilled. An ornamental jar or
cabinet will hold enough tablets to
feed a family for a week or more.
Think of the time saved that might
be devoted to reading or outdoor eXer-
else! And with the money saved we
could buy motor cars or electric car
riages."
Think Of the saving of time and
energy, too! No more luncheons to
put up in newspapers every morning
for the children and father. A tablet
or two in their pockets and possibly
nut for dessert and away they go to
the office. Can you see fathers face
when he comes home at night, tired
and cross. the children romping in
from school with Geld little noses and
empty stomachs, ready to grow rap
turous over a plump, fat chicken or a
pan of Irish stew and hot biscuits?
Can you see the faces Of the children
light up with JOY when you point one
J finger at the tablet jar and go on with
your Browning or Emerson? No
dishes to wasI. lao scraps to throw
away-nothiug TO do except read, sing,
play and eat fruits, tablets and nuts.

RETAIN LONGING FOR ROMANCE.
Frequent Cause of Tragedy in the Life
