A great many people who have trified with indigestion, have been sorry for it-when nervous or chronic dyspepsia resulted, and they have not been able to cure it. Use Kodol and prevent having Dyspepsia.
 Everyone Is subject to indigcs. ton. Stomach Arrangement follows stomach abuse, just as naturally and just as surely as a sound and healthy stomach results upon the taking of Kodol.

FIVE SENSES NOT ENOUGH.
Our Limited Scale of Consciousness
 Shuts Gut Many Vibrations,

Shuts Cut Many Vibrations.
 Between the vibrations that we call electricity and the vibrations that we call heat we imagine there must be other vibrations filling up the gap. but we do not know simply because we have no senses that can comprehend them. The spectrum is just such little scale. Below the darkest red at the lower end we cannot see; at the other end as the vibrations get faster and faster through the orange. the blue and the violet is another unknown gap-that is. we cannot seq it. But surely the vibrations are there Some of them. for instance. that we have never seen and never can see mark their presence on photographic plate. And this same spectrum may be useG as all analogy tO describe spiritualistic phenomena. Just as there are limits at either end of the scale of vibrations beyond which our own senses can tell us nothing so may there be psychic forces at work beyond the limits of our consciousness. These are seemingly supernatural 10 us when we witness their effect, but they really are no more supernatural than the x ray that pierces the solid body or the invisible ultra violet ray that marks the photo graphic plate.-Efrom Are the Dead Alive?" by Fremont Rider in Define ator

THE ROAD TO HAPPINESS

Mrs. Pierre Lorillard, wife of mil. lionaire, in good health, beautiful and prominent in society, died in Washing. ton.
 The coroner's death certificate said suicide.
 On the same day in the same city Mrs. Thcmas Wenter, a scrubwoman, was found dead in a squalid shack with bottle of carbolic acid at her side. Again the death certificate sad suicide.
 More than mere coincidence this. With surroundings exactly the opposite of each other it would seem that one Of these two women must have been satisfied with life.
 Yet both sought relief in final sleep.
 And the moral of it all? That happiness depends more on what you have not, than on what you have. The human nature in palace or shack, in the slums or in society, clothed in silk or in cotton, is very much the same.

odor and Flavor of Musk.
 To the African traveller the hipp'- potamus Is species of game partic.u- iarly desirable for it's ivory and irs hide are both valuable, while the nct inconsiderable danger involved in it's pursuit provides the delicious emotion without which every kind of hunting is tame and insipid. Moreover, the ob- ligation under which the leader of the expedition lies to feed his servants ana carriers adequately makes one of these enormous beasts, twelve feet long or so and disproportionately wide, per feet godsend. Not only does the hippo fotamus furnish formidable amount ot meat. but that meat has the ines- timable merit of keeping fresh much longer than any other. principally ow- ing to the fact that flies seem to have an insurmountable horror of it. must admit that for a long time I thoroughly sympathized with the flies. Alive. the hippopotamus has a peculiar odor, somewhat resembling musk, which discloses the presence of the animal from afar when he happens to be to windward of one. In the flesh of the dead animal this odor-or the taste of it, rather-persists and is much appreciated by the natives, though for eigners take a long time to get accus- toned to 1t; some are never able to support it.-Wide World Magazine.

HOW ABOUT YOUR oARpEN7

Now is good time to think about your garden.
 ,, Every man who can do so should have a. garden. If you have but foot of ground plant something there, It may do you world of good. "' A single rose once transformed a hardened criminal into good, noble woman.
 The watching of plant growing from . seed which chanced to lodge in a small erevice of a prison wall saved the reason of prisoner and in time became the means of setting him free. The good that flowers have done is more than can be told.
 Make a garden. Plant vegetables. You can have the pleasure Of watch ing their growth from day to day and anticipate the pleasure of tasting them when they are ready for your table The care you have given them will give an added flavor.
 If you have space for bed of vegetables, put flower there with them
 something for pleasure only
 If you have not room for even small garden, get window box or pot or two with a few plants. Tn the care and pleasure they give you, you may forget for moment yorr troubles.
 The gardens Of the school children do much good, and should receive hearty encouragement. In the wedding of the garden many evils are weeded from the character. In the planting of seeds of flowers, seeds of goodness may be planted in the heart. It has bcen dem onstrated over and over that beautify- ing the home surroundings, the streets a1.d the city, raises the moral standard.

TO EACH A SHARE OF SORROW

~ ~lfAO1l "A SIlAhL Ox foOhIsOW
 There is no perfect happiness in this world. No one lives but has his share of sorrow to bear Sympathy of friends may alleviate but cannot lift the burden from the shoulders of him who carries Tit.
 Some sorrows are of your own mak. ing. Some are caused by others, those who have been dear to you, whom you have loved, or for whom you arc respon- sible. Some, as, for example, the death of one near and dear to you, are in accordance with the laws of God.
 Grief that is unavoidable, bear with courage. Nothing lasts forever. When you find yourself unhappy, think what makes you so. Is it some fault of your own? If so, think whether there is not something you can do to make matters better. If ths fault is anothers, still see whether you cannot help to make it right. When nothing can be done, do not sit and nurse your grief. That only makes it heavier. Rather try to set your mind on somathing else. There are sources of happiness to which you can turn, if you seek them. It is not what you have that can make you happy, but what you are able to enjoy.

 The parson said: "Goodby, my lord hope we may meet again, but if not here in some better place."
 The bishop replied, Il fear the latter is unlikely, as there are no Tears in heaven"
 No doubt wittily answered the parson, you are right that our chance of meeting is small, as one reads of the plains of paradise, but never of any Hills there"

KING WHO QUIT HIS JoB

The story is going the rounds of the press of the way John Davis Murray, Purdue university man, rose-or sank
 to the king ship of the Christmas is- lands and gave it all up to marry a girl named Margaret-ws don't like to tell that her other name was McNficken--- of Hanover square, London.
 It's good spring story. Murray went to the Christmas islands, which are dots of phosphate rock in the Pa ciic, and made such hit with the natives that he was chosen king, and gave out decrees, issued edicts and held. full sway. Docsn' t 1t make your boy 5 heart bound? Here in the goth centur.r, fellow who was college boy in h. diana few years ago, holding power of life and death over the little worl.i of even these three islands! It's d page of Stevenson from real life. The world is romantic yes--in spring!
 King Murray might have welded  half the savage women of the Christ mas islands, and founded dynasty like those imagined by Captain Marry att, but he didn't. He married Miss McMicken of London instead and ab- dicated the throne.
 That is tho romance story, but on in vestigation you find that the land of the Christmas islands -or, at least, the phosphate rock, which is all that has market value-does not belong to the crown laid down by Mir Murray, but to the Christmas Islands Phosphate Min ing x Shipping Go. This does rot make any difference with the lady in Lon don, CT with hrr7ating for Murray, but it makes whole lot or difference with that kingdon.
 The phosphate company could have fired Murray the Only on a month s notice at any time. When all the land is owned by others all man gets is a jcb of working for the owner. Being a king in such case is just plain ordinary job. Murray didn't abdicate He just quit He only thought he was king.

When the Waiter Wins.

Two men were wrangling as to who should settle with the waiter for the luncheon. When the question had been finally decided and the contestants had gone the waiter said to one of his reg ular customers who was witness of the scene: That's what we like. for cv- cry time it happens we come in for an extra tip. The man who couldn't get the check has only one way to get even, and that is by giving the waiter something, and nine times out of ten he does 1t and makes the amount more than he would have given if he had paid the check.
