ANGRY PROTEST OF BOYHOOD
Valentine Night-Gown" Offended Sen abilities of Small Masculine
 Humanity.

William, little country boy of six, was snowbound with his mother at the house of an aunt, 20 miles from his own home. The two, who had driY- en over in a sleigh just to spend the day, were forced to remain three nights, and were supplied by the host ess with garments to sleep in. There being no small boys in his aunt's fam fly, William was put to bed in one of his little cousin Deborah's nightgowns, very indignant at having to wear any thing with so many frills and lace trimmings around the neck and on the sleeves.
 q won't stand it, hummer" he loud ly protested on the second night, q won't wear anything so girly! I'll run away, you see if I don't, and perrush in a snow drift before I'll put that thing on again. Why, rather than wear that-that valentine night-gown-I'll sleep raWi"

Little Animal Gets Away with Fifteen Feet of Picked Reptile
 at Bronx Zoo.

New York. - Four and one-half inches of gopher rat is resonsible for the destruction of 15 feet of pickled snake. This all happened in the office of Raymond Ditmars. curator of rep tiles at the Bronx geological gardens, the other day, and the tragedy arose from the carelessness of one of the attendants, who neglected to give the gopher her daily meal. The gopher started to eat the wire covering of her cage. She succeeded for her teeth are like diamond drills.
 Pursued by the bangs of hunger, she chased down the hall until she came to the curator's office, which has a wire door. Julia, the gopher, many fattening substances. In few minutes she was in the office, and still hungry MT Ditmar's desk looked inviting, but after eating a hole in it., Julia found that, being made of oak, it was not sustaining.
 Then she spied the table on which the five bottles containing the 15 feet of precious snakes were placed. The legs of the table were of iron, so Julia exercised her molars. When the curi- ator arrived the bottles were on the floor, smashed, and the table leaning against the wall for support.
 A search for Julia was instigated at once When she was found she was peacefully nibbling at corner of the foundation of the snakehouse.

Here Is Case Where the Sage oId Proverb Might with Profit Have
 Been Reversed.

There is a certain young Broad street broker whose recent sad experl- ence in endeavoring to pull the wool over his wife's eyes has led him to de- clare never again."
 Now, it is the brokers custom to take a 5:30 suburban train, thus en- abling him to reach his home in West chester in ample time for the early dinner that both he and his wife like.
 The other day he fell. Meeting an old college mate he yielded to the lat ter's entreaties for an evening in town. The next step was, of course, to tele- graph the wife, which he did in these terms: "Unavoidably detained. Missed the 5:30. Home later"
 When hubby finally did show up, he observed an expression on the coun- tenance of his spouse that argued fail ure of his little fib.
 Whats the trouble, dear?" he asked, with an affected nonchalanee
 Without a word the wife handed him the telegraph slip, indicating with her forefinger the words:

French Savants Say Gases Will Then Reach Earth's Atmosphere
 No Danger.

Paris.-French savants, while deny ing that there is any danger of the worlds extinction, view with intense interest the approach of Halley's com ct, which, after 75 years absence, is coming toward the earth at the rate of 96,000 miles an hour. According to the calculations the gases of the comets tail will reach the earths atmosphere May 19 next.
 Benjamin Baillaud, director of the Paris observatory, takes an optimistic view of the conditions likely to arise. He says: Scientifically, the observa- tions of the passage of the Haley comet will be interesting and most valuable. Since 1885, when this con- ct was last seen by the Astronomer Arago, instruments for making obser- vations have been greatly perfected We shall HOW endeavor to explain cer- tain electric and magnetic conditions which undoubtedly will be produced

The mate also had a chance to try his marksman- ship on a python and a water snake that he said was at least 25 feet long He wounded both, but they Wriggled away.
 It was not an uncommon sight to see an island, the base of which doubt less was formed of reeds and cane and light twisted roots, navigating itself down the current toward the distant Atlantic. Most of these islands were only an acre or so in extent A few perhaps, the mate remarked, might eventually have reached the sea, but probably most of them went to pieces before getting there. He had read of islands several acres in area being sighted drifting off the Brazilian coast, and he had no doubt that they were originally rom the Amazon.

RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS

"I had eczema on my hands for ten years. I had three good doctors but none of them did any good. 1 then used one box of Cutieura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and was completely cured. My hands were raw all over, inside and out, and the eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before l had used one bottle, together with the Cuticura Ointment, my sores were nearly healed over, and by the time I had used the third bottle, I was entirely well. To any one who has any skin or blood disease I would honestly ad- wise them to fool with nothing else, but to get Cuticura and get well. My hands have never given me the least bit of trouble up to now.
 My daughters hands this summer became perfectly raw with eczema She could get nothing that would do thew any good until she tried Cuti- cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment and in two weeks they were entirely cured I have used Cuticura for other members of my family and it always proved sue. cessful. Mrs. M. F.

 There were more than thousand islands, some big and filled with tall forests and thick jungle and alive with monkeys, parrots and other screaming and iridescent birds, the mate said. Pythons, gigantic water snakes of many colors and water fowl of gor geous plumage lined the river banks. the jungle choruses were sometimes more disturbing than the racket of the busiest thoroughfares of this town, the mate says. Once a swarm of al ligators followed the ship and the mate got down his rife and put few bullets into the biggest of the saurians, which he said measured at least 20 feet.

G0 THROUGH JUNGLE.
Little Ship Reaches New York
 After Trip Full of Adventure
Passengers Shoot Snakes and Monkeys During Voyage or 2,ooo Miles Up Amazon River-AIIigators
 Swarm Behind Vessel

New York.-The stubby masted lit tie steamer Napo has reached this port after voyage full of adventure some 2,100 miles up the Amazon, where she took on a cargo of rubber. The trip was interesting, and there were no discomforts except heat. the mosquitoes and delay of 12 hours amid the same to rig a rudder after the Napo's own had been disabled by grounding Many passengers were carried both ways along the river, and turtles were so plentiful that turtle soup and turtle meat figured on the bill of fare daily when the steamer was in the river and until she was many days out to sea on her wsS, home. Among the amusements were monkey shooting and snake catching.
 The log of the Napo contains a se- rles ot pleasant adventures and in terest1ng incidents, and both Capt. Barnett and Robert Roshell. the mate agree that navigating the Amazon is not without it's advantages The Napo draws Is feet inches of water when loaded, which is probably more than any vessel that ever went as far up the river as Iquitos. Peru. which she did,
 She left Para on October 12 and ar rived at Manaos on October IT, Then she went to Iquitos, arriving there on November 4. She had to buck a seven knot current going upstream, and four men were kept constantly sounding
 At times the channel was so narrow that skillful navigation was necessary to keep from sticking hard and fast As 1t was, the vessel did stick five or six times, but she got off again quickly.
 Two nativt pilots took the vessel up the Amazon. The ship was supplied with Brazil government and British river charts. but the pilots would not use them.
 Mate Roshell exhibited half a dozen large turtle shells secured to white. ness, explaining that these were used as platters on the steamer The Ana zon,' said the mate, lis one of the most interesting rivers in the world. You go on for days and days with a panorama of magnificent jungle scenery unfolding on both sides of you. When the river narrows or you run near the bank there is heard a continual chatter of monkeys and you see great troops of them.
 We could anchor at night" said the mate, and in the morning find that islands we had sighted ahead were missing ana the aspect of the river en- tlrely changed. The pilots steer by the color of the water, by intuition and the feel of the water. There are no buoys or lights to guide them.
 At night we would anchor We all slept in hamnocks on deck on account oi the heat. The mosquitoes were dreadful, but one got used to them. They did not seem to be of the malaria breeding variety, for we had no one sick of malaria There were turtles aplenty in the water. and some times alligators would follow us Often got shot at them with my rifle.

GET POWER. The Supply Comes From Food.

If we get power from food why not strive to get all the power we can. That is only possible by use of skill fully selected food that exactly fits the requirements of the body.
 Poor fuel makes a poor fire, and a poor fire is not a good steam producer.
 From not knowing how to select the right food to fit my needs, l suffered grievously for a long time from stom- ach troubles writes a lady from a little town in Missouri.
 Tt seemed as if l would never be able to find out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly anything that I could eat would stay on my stom- ach. Every attempt gave me heart burn and filled my stomach with gas. I got thinner and thinner until I lit erally became living skeleton and in time was compelled to keep to my bed
 "A few months ago l was persuaded to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such good effect from the very beginning that 1 have kept up it's use ever since I was surprised at the ease with which digested it. It proved to be just what 1 needed.
 "All my unpleasant symptoms, the heartburn, the inflated feeling which gave me such pain disappeared. My weight gradually increased from 9S to 116 lbs, my figure rounded out, my strength came back, and I am now able to do my housework and enjoy it. Grape-Nuts did it.
 A ten days trial will show anyone some facts about food.

 When asked if these would include danger to life on earth the professor smiled and replied: Hardly. It is quite true that the gas of the comet, now known to be cyanogen, if mixed with our air would produce a most dangerous poison, but in the comets tail the gas is so extremely rarified that no danger is possible. The earth travelling with velocity almost equal to that of the comet will pass through the gas like cannon through a fog In short, if the comet, hits OCT atmo- sphere the result will be more disas- trous to the comet than to us"
