A Royal Fowl.

In England under an old law still
in force the swan is royal fowl,
as whales and surgeons are royal
fish. All swans the property where
OF is rot otherwise defnable when
within: the British dominions belong
to the crown by virtue of this pre-
rogatIve. When swans are lawfully
taken into the possession of pri-
yate person such person may be said
to have a property in them, but if
they be at liberty they belong to
the crown. Formerly it was neces-
sary for persons who wished to keep
these "royal fowls" to obtain a
swan mark, which was granted by
the crown and which could not be
legally impressed without grant OF
prescription.

LITERARY HERoIsM.
Great Works Accomplished Under -
Most Adverse Circumstances.


Some of the worlds most valued
literary productions have been ac-
complished by their authors under
circumstances of pain and hardship
almost incredible.
Of the blind writer's one immedi-
ately thinks of Milton and Of our
own Prescott, who, though not en-
tirely blind, was almost SO and per-
formed prodigics in the way of his
torical composition while handi-
capped in way calculated to dis
hearten the bravest.
Another great historian, John
Richard Green, did his work in the
midst of a hard battle against dis
ease and pain. In 1869, when he
was finally Frustrated by the disease
that had taken hold many years be-
fore, the doctors gave him no hope
of living more than six months long
er. Nevertheless Green set about
the task of writing his Short His
tory of the English People," task
that he triumphantly carried to a
conclusion Notwithstanding racking
pains.
We are assured on excellent au-
thority that Elizabeth Barrett
Browning wrote the greater number
of her fine poems confined to a
darkened room, to which, by reason
of her infirmities, only her own
/ family and most intimate friends
could be admitted, while she was in
great weakness and almost continu-
Gus pain.
Another brave struggle was that
of the poet Heine. The last seven
years of the German thinkers life
!, were spent on what has been term
ed his mattress grave" in such
, pain and suffering that he was oblig-
ed to consume doses of opium in
quantity sufficient to have killed
several men. Yet Heine not only
endured all this with resignation
and even cheerfulness, but managed
to produce some of his most finished
work, among which were Last Po-
ems and Thoughts" and his Con
| fessions."
To the list Of literary heroes
must be added the name Of Scott.
Sir Walters manly fight against
failing health and financial misfor-
! tune during the closing years Of his
life is too well known to need more
than passing mention. When the
commercial reverses came that left
him staggering under a huge bur-
den of debt, he, shattered in health,
| laborously set to work with wea-
ried eyes and worn brain" to recoup
Painfully he toiled, sometimes as
many as fourteen hours day, until
the end came, but nevertheless he
succeeded in meeting every cent due
by reason of the monumental in
debtedness forced upon him.
Grants memoirs were composed
under peculiarly pathetic condi-
tons. Confronted by the dismal
prospect of dying from a malignant
disease and ruined by reason of UNI
fortunate financial ventures, the
doughty general in order to provide
for his wife finished under these
distressing conditions that work
only four days before his DEATH

House Numbering.

to be placed on their respective premi-
ses, with a statement that such numbers
must be affixed on or before December
3lst next. Inclosed with the state
ment was copy of the ordinance
printed in booklet form with cover.
This is the first instance in the history
of its Incorporated city that an ordnance
has been deemed of sufficient Importance
to demand the printing thereof in
seperate form, and the mailing thereof
to parties concerned. OF course, the
numbering of the houses is a vitality inn
portant point in the CITY government,
especially when it is remembered that
not solitary street within this city is
placarded with its name; that no
stranger can find a residence or business
house without due inquiry as hereto
fore that no free postal delivery exists
or is likely to exist for present pros
pects that no official map of this city
is in existance that such a map with
numbers would show that few of Il e
streets have more than rs or 30 num-
bered dwellings. But then it gives

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach If
1t is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suflic-
tent amount Of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.
