About the House,

A young woman who spent the best
rart Of the summer at a Bar Harbor
hotel tells of a useful box that she in.
vented in a wild desire to have a spot
where sewing or anything could be
thrown and left undisturbed until
reeded again. She bought four rollers
from a hardware store and borrowed a
hammer and a small screwdriver.
Weird sounds were heard the next
day. and her forefinger was tied up in
liniment for a week, but she had
solved the problem In hand. She had
neatly upholstered her box with ere.
tonne, SO that the glimpses Of 1t under
her bed was not unsightly. Rope
handles were at the ends, and a pull
wheeled it out to her feet. The cover
was a flap of cretonne tackled on the
back and buttoned in front to a flap
that met it.

Ex-Police Commissioner Bingham of
New York said of graft at a recent
dinner:
THE CRATER isn't so easily caught;
he isn't quite so naive as al old fellow
they used TO tell about in Andover.
"This old fellow was suspected OF
tamrering with the church collections.
A couple of clumsy traps that we're
set for him failed to work. Then one
day a young deacon walked past his
house leading a new horse.
"'That's a fine horse. deacon the
old fellow shouted. Did you buy him

the other came nearer, he added:

FOOD QUESTION
Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by
a Dyspeptic.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of the family at meal
time us every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspep-
STA and can't eat the simplest ordinary
food without causing trouble, the food
question becomes doubly annoying
An Illinois woman writes:
MY husbands health was POOR he
had no appetite for anything l could
get for him, it seemed.
He was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as
soon as he would feel better would go
to work again only to give up in a
few weeks. He suffered severely with
stomach trouble.
Tired of everything I had been able
to get for him to eat, one day seeing
an advertisement about Grape.Nuts, l
got some and tried it for breakfast the
next morning.
I'VE all thought it was pretty good
although we had no idea of using it
regularly. But when my husband came
home at night he asked for Grape
Nuts.
1T was the anne next day and l
had to get it right along. because when
we would get to the table the question,
Have you any Grape-Nuts' was a reg.
u.ar thing. So I began to buy it by
the dozen pkgs.
my husbands health began to i'm
prove right along. l sometimes felt
offended when I'd make something l
thought he would like for a change,
and still hear the same old question,
Fave you any Grape-Nuts?'
HE got 80 we'll that for the last
two years he has hardly lost a day
from his work, and we are still using

plant in the world when completed, ac-
cording to DR.. f. S. Pearson, presi.
dent of the company. He says that by

er will be available.
By the construction of additional

OF more equipment this horse power
can he increased. The storage res

learned man, who wrote that the
black substance was a sort of crude
petroleum; but he advanced no theo-
,ry as to their formation or the orig
in of the black substance found in
the geode. So far as known these
formations are not found elsewhere
than at the limited space near Niota.
The geode with the passion cross
within was exhibited here by Capt. B.
w. Davis, well known here, and he
believed it was genuine freak,
spoke of sending 1t to the Vatican,
and thinking the pope would pay a
fabulous price for it. The fact is that
the frame of the cross was whitfield
from stick of pine, wrapped with
thread and fine wire by an attorney
named Bolding, and the cross inn
mersed in a strong solution of alum
until it was covered completely with
mass of beautiful crystals, rivaling
the brilliancy of the crystals covering
the inside of the geode- Capt. Davis
in due time learned of the trick, AMI
the great curiosity Of the passion
cross formed in the geode passed as
a pleasant joke. The cross of alum
crystals was SO deftly and carefully
fastened within the geode that no one
would think otherwise than that 1t
was part of it. Respectfully,

tinue to be as little like It's old self
as were the earlier months Of the

Meanwhile, says Mr.. Naulty, watch

says, and mariners find the guides that
have always been their main reliance

Wednesday last, while the morning
skies have warned people to carry UNI
Drellas, and fog and mists have often
justified the warning, the local baron
eters have held steadily fair.

Mr.. Naulty says that in respect to
this continent the danger zone may be
covered by foot rule on an ordinary
map, one end at Galveston and the
other at st. John, N. B. A tornado

eleven and injured many and which
