ExaageratIon.

On her arrival in New York Nine,
Sara Bernhardt, replying to q compli-
ment on her youthful appearance,
said: 'The secret Of my youth? It
is the good God-and then, you know,
I work all the time. But I am a
great-grandmother," she continued.
thoughtfully, 80 how can these many
compliments be true? l am afraid my
friends are exaggerating."
Nine. Bernhardt's laugh, spontane-
GUS as a girls, prompted a chorus Of
mo, mol"
"Yes." said the actress, ''uncon-
scious exaggeration, like the French
nurse on the boulevard. Our boule-
wards are much more crowded than
your streets, you know, and, although
we have numerous accidents, things
aren't quite as bad as the nurse sug-
gested.
"Her little charge, a boy of six,
begged her to stop a while in crowd,
surrounding an automobile accident.
Please watt the little boy said, Want
to see the man who was run over
No; hurry his nurse answered.
There will be plenty more to see
further on"

law Of aflnity, all things needed to nanufao-
ture the elixir Of life"
Further on he says: 1.-THE beginning and end
of the matter is to supply the lacking princi-
pie, and in molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes 1t in vegetables, fruits and grain.
To supply deficiencies is the only law of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that If Phosphate
Of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
1t. you have brain fag because It's daily loss is
not supplied
On the contrary, IL you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.
In the trial sneer was uttered because Mr..
Post announced that he had made years of re-
: search in this country and some clinics of
Europe, regarding the effect Of the mind on
digestion of food.
But we must be patient with those who
sneer at facts they know nothing about
Mind does not work well on brain that is
broken down by lack Of nourishment.
A peaceful and evenly poised mind Is neces-
sary to good digestion.
Worry, anxiety, fear, hate, &C., &C., directly
interfere with or stop the flow of Ptyalin, the
digestive juice Of the mouth, and also inter
fere with the flow of the digestive juices of
stomach and pancreas
Therefore, the mental state of the individual
has much to do (more than suspected) with
digestion.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans.-Cotton futures open
ed steady at decline of to 4 points
Monday Gables were about as ex-
pected, but the weather map showed
considerable rain in Texas, which
stimulated selling among scalpers.
After the call the trading month stood
at a decline of points. The decline
was checked by kilograms from Texas
points stating that the rains in that
state were chiefly in the central and
eastern sections of the state and not
IN the west, where the drouth has
been most severe. At the end of the
first hour prices were 2 to points

Io. the Rich Indian.

The per capita wealth of the Indian
is approximately $2,130, that for other
Americans Is only little more than
$1,000. The lands owned by the In
dams are rich in oil, timber and other
natural resources of all kinds. Some
Of the best timber land in the United
States is owned by Indians.
The value Of their agricultural lands
runs up in the millions. The ranges
which they possess support about 500,-
600 sheep and cattle, owned by lessees,
bringing in revenue Of more than
$272,000 to the various tribes besides
providing feed for more than 1900 900
head of horses, cattle, sheep and goats
belonging to the Indians themselves.
Practically the only asphalt deposits
In the United States are on Indian
lands.-Red Man.

New Process Of Staining Glass.

New Process OF Staining Glass.
The art of coloring glass has been
lost and rebound, jealously guarded
and maliciously stolen so many times
in the history of civilization that it
seems almost impossible to say any
thing new on glass staining. Yet
process has been discovered for ma
king the stained glass used in windows
which is departure from anything
known at the present time What the
Venetians and the Phoenicians knew
of 1t we cannot tell.
The glass first receives Its design in
mineral colors and the whole is then
fired in a heat so intense that the col
oring matter and the glass are indis-
solubly fused. The most attractive
feature of this method is that the sur
face acquires peculiar pebbled char
acter in the heat, SO that when the
glass is in place the lights are delight
fully soft and mellow.
In making a large window in many
shades each panel is separately mould
ed and bent and the sections are as
sembled in metal frame.

Moslem Traditions.

Ramadan is the month exalted by
Moslems above all others. In that
month the Koran-according to Mos
lem tradition-was brought down by
Gabriel from heaven and delivered to
men in small sections. In that month,
Mohammed was accustomed to retire
from Mecca to the cave of Hira, for
prayer and meditation. In that month
Abraham, Moses and other prophets
received their divine revelations. In
that month the doors of heaven are
always open, the passages to hell are
shut, and the devils are chained" So
run the traditions.-The Christian
Herald.
