MISCHIEF MAKER
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a
baby proves itself to be nourishing
and easily digested and good for big
and little folks. A Brooklyn man
says:
when baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin
and pale. This was, at first, attrib-
uted to the heat and the fact that
his teeth were coming, but, in reality,
the poor little thing was starving, his
mothers milk not being sufficient
nourishment
zone day after he had cried bitter
ly for an hour, suggested that my
wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She
soaked two teaspoonfuls in a saucer
with little sugar and warm milk.
This baby ate so ravenously that she
fixed second which he likewise fin
ished.
ut was not many days before he
forgot all about being nursed, and
has since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. To-day the boy Is strong
and robust, and as cute a mischief
maker as thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.
1--WE have put before him other
foods, but he viii have none of them,
evidently preferripg to stick to that
which did him so much good-his
old friend Grape-Nuts.
use this letter any way you wish,
for my wife and can never praise
Grape-Nuts enough after the bright
ness it has brought 10 our house
hold"
Grape-Nuts is not made for baby
food, but experience with thousands
of babies shows It to be among the
best, If not entirely the best in use.
Being scientific preparation of Ma
lures grains, it is equally effective
as a body and brain builder for
grown-ups.

Millions Natural History.

The pigeons that found nesting
places in st. Pauls Cathedral were
probably the only species of bird with
which Milton was familiar in his early
years-unless we make an exception
of the ubiquitous sparrow. He went
in his seventeenth year to Cambridge,
where he made acquaintance with the
sedgy flats of the Cam and took as
much interest in birds and flowers,
beasts and trees as his greater inter-
est at that age in literature and philo-
sophy would permit,
But for him the most accurately
observant period of life for nature
study was over-the period of from
eight to sixteen years of age-and he
therefore fell into mistakes in his use
of imagery and description of natural
objects. He strews, for example, the
laureate hearse of Lycidas with flow
ers that are not all in bloom at the
same season; he gives the lark's nest
a matched roof and he calls the hon
eysuckle eglantine. From the Scots
man.

Folding Doormat.

A folding doormat that is a conve-
nience for householders and saves
money to the manufacturers is that
devised by a New York woman. 1t
will also save householders money in
localities where doormat thieves ply
their petty trade. for 1t Is no trouble
at all to fold 1t up at night and stick
it in the vestibule. The mat is made
of metal, with two side bars and a
surface Of pivotally connected Stats,
like folding gates. Attached to oppo-
site ends of the side bars are cross
bars, by means of which the mat may
be held in position when in use. 9th
erwise the continual stepping on it
would contract it. Manufacturers

The Band On the SILK Hat,

Lecturing on Clothes" before the
Selborne Society last night Wilfred
Mark Webb said the band on the silk
hat had originated from the habit of
tying band round shawl placed
over the head, while the bow at the
side could be traced to remote ages,
and was in it's transitory stage on
Scotch bonnets and children's sailor
hats.
All ornaments on mems hats we're
on the left side, due to the fact that
in olden times, when it was frequent
ly necessary to use the sword, it was
obviously desirable that such decora-
tons should not impede cut with
the weapon-W Westminster Gazette.

BY means of this device the yarn

Is a wringer device, consisting Of two
parallel wire frames operated by a
strong spring. One end of the mop

and by turning the handle, which OPP

through the wires like clothes through

Wondrous things have come to pass
On my square Of window-glass.
Looking in it I have seen
Grass no longer painted green,
Trees whose branches never stir,
Skies without a cloud to blur,
Birds below them sailing high,
Church spires pointing to the sky,
And a funny little town
Where the people, up and down
Streets of silver, to me seem
Like the people in dream,
Dressed in finest kinds of lace;
TITS picture, on space
Scarcely larger than the hand,
Of tiny Switzerland,
Which the wizard Frost has drawn
'Twixt the nightfall and the dawn.
Quick and see what he has done
Ere It's stolen by the sun.

TIE Important
Problem

confronting anyone in need Of laxa-
tive is not question of single ac-
ton only, but of permanently bene-
fetal effects, which will follow proper
efforts to live in a healthful way, with
the assistance Of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, whenever it is re-
quired, as it cleanses the system
gently yet promptly, without irritation
and will therefore always have the
preference of all who wish the best of
family laxatives.
The combination has the approval
of physicians because 1t is known to
be truly beneficial, and because it has
given satisfaction to the millions Of
well-informed families who have used
1t for many years past.
To get its beneficial effects, always
buy the genuine manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only.

BIRD THAT WAS FORGOTTEN

He was Mary Elizabeth's little bird,
and it was Mary Elizabeth who said
to him over and over, "Sing happy
song, little bird"
In summer, while the cage hung
on the porch out doors. many man
and woman smiled when they heard
the happy song Of that little bird. In
winter sad looking friends who came
to call sometimes forgot the troubles
that made them sad when they heard
the wee pets bubbling song. 1t did
seem as il that particular bird would
never be forgotten
There came a time, however, when
Mary Elizabeth went to Europe with
her father and mother. She couldn't
take the bird A neighbor who had
no cats offered to keep him until Mary
EIizabeth's return. Before the child
sailed she gave her pet a bit OF adj
vice:
Always sing happy song. little
bird"
AT first it was easy for the little bird
to sing happy song, but one day his
kind friend was obliged to leave town
for a week, and he was left with
strangers who promised to take good
care of him.
always sing happy song, little
bird" were the last words the neign-
Dor said at parting.
Soon after there was children s
entertainment in the church to which
sbirds were invited. Mary Elizabeth's
pet was taken in his cage, and of all
the glad songs that day his was the
sweetest. He enjoyed the entertain
ment thoroughly, and, when night
came, he tucked his head under his
wing and went to sleep without fear.
He didn't know, poor little fellow,
that the child who brought him lent
him to her dearest friend to take
home and keep for five days; neither
did he know that one by one the
birds were taken from the church,
and he was forgotten.
Next morning the little bird awoke,
sang a happy song, ate his breakfast
and sang happy song. His cage was
in a pew where little girl had left
him. The bird couldn't see the sum
shine streaming through stained glass
windows, but, while waiting for his
bath he sang happy song. No one
came to give the little bird his bath,
SO he sang another happy song.
This is the part of the story Mary
Elizabeth never liked to think of for
a minute; how the little bird sang un-
til his seed was gone and the water Sn
his cup; how two days passed, and the
little fellow tucked his head under
his wing and knew that he was for
gotten.
The third day the organist came to
practice on the pipe organ. The lit
tie bird lifted his head when music
pealed through the church. He had
never heard anything like 1t - SO
sweet, so solemn. When it was over
the weak little bird must have re-
membered Mary Elizabeth's advice;
Sing happy song, little bird"
AS the organist was passing to the
outer door she heard a happy song.
And Mary Elizabeth's pet was found
before it was too late. The organist
had known Mary Elizabeth since she
was a baby, so OF course she recog-
nized the brave little bird, who was
never again forgotten.
Mary Elizabeth is big girl in high
school now. but when she is discour-
aged and everything seems to go
wrong. she remembers the advice she
used to give wee canary. Frances

Times.

a TRUE STORY On A HORSE.

"A TRUE SIORI OF A HORSE.
/ want to tell you about a lovely
gray and white horse named Babe
we once had. Every morning, VIXEN
my father went to the barn to harness
him, he would just go as far as the
watering trough, which was outside
of our kitchen door, and then refuse
to move until we gave him some lump
sugar
/ will tell you about an accident
which happened one dark night. 1t
was about o'clock and mother was
wondering what kept father, when
all of sudden we heard some one
kick on the door. We did not bother
at first because we thought it was
father, but as the noise kept on
mother went out to see what the
trouble was Just as she got outside
of the door something smooth
brushed against her neck. Turning
she saw it was Babe, who had brushed
his nose against her neck. He looked
as if something was wrong. Mother
said, Where is your master?" The
horse hung his head, SO we knew
something wasS wrong. After taking
the horse into the barn we went down
the road to see if anything had hap
pened to father We had not gone
far when a wagon came in sight.
Father was in it and called to us.
We got in and he told us all about a
smash-up he had down the road. The
next morning we all went to see the
wreck, which was in front of little
cottage. Our wagon was in pieces
and. a wheel Of another wagon was
there. The two wagons had run into
each other Father did not get hurt,
but it was a dreadful risk Our horse
had come straight home to tell US
