II is to imagination that earth owes

life beautiful; to turn the stumbling
blocks OF nature into helpful forces;

HAD MISSED 1T A NICKEL
But self-sacrifcing Little Ones Left
the Store with the Coveted
Plant.

Two little girls entered a florist
shop. So near each other In size were
they they would have been taken for
twins. They had 20 cents-10 cents
apiece-and with this sum saved from
pennies for some time back they were
going to buy plant" for mamma
One stepped out little in advance OF
the other when the door closed behind
them. The other was shy, looking tim
idly but confidently at her sister. The
woman in charge of the small shop
looked up as the two mites of human
ity paused in front Of her.
"Well?" she said. encouragingly.
I'VE want to buy a plant" said the
little spokeswoman. Then she added
In order to avoid later embarrassment
the cheapest one you've got"
"Ah," said the florist, going to the
window, here is nice little plant
for rs cents"
The little sister turned quickly to
the other, but still smiling bravely.
Baby, we've Just missed 1t a
nickel" she said.
Yet not three minutes later they is
sued from the shop bearing the plant
between them, and as the woman de-
posted the two silver dimes in the
cash drawer her eyes must have
caught their CLEAN, for there was
something shining there.

MEASURING HEART BEATS.

William Duddell showed in a lee.
tire at the Royal institution, Lon.
don, Eng, that the manner in which
the heart beats can be measured by
electricity. He used as a Subject"
DR.. Walters bulldog Jimmy. The
animal stood on a table with his
feet in vessels of water, the lights
were turned down and the shadow of
a thin wire was projected on a
screen. The wire jerked backward
and forward "Those jerks" Mr..
Duddell explained, represent the
electromotive force of Jimmy's
heart. You will notice that they are
very unequal. This is not due to ex-
citement through Jimmy finding
himself in the presence of such
large audience, but is the natural ac-
tion of dogs heart. The beatings
of the hearts Of all animals are. in
fact, unsteady.

Your Money Back II You are Not
Satisfied With The Medicine We
Recommend

We are SO positive that our remedy
ill permanently relieve constipation,
no matter how chronic il may be, that
we offer TO furnish the medicine at our
expense should il fail To produce salts
factory results.
1t is worse than useless 10 attempt TO
cure constipation with cathartic drugs.
Laxatives or cathartics do much harm.
They cause a reaction, irritate and
weaken the bowels and tend To make
constitution more chronic. Besides,
their use becomes habit that is danger
Gus.
Constipation is caused by a " eakness
of the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or descending colon. To ex-
pect permanent relief you must there
fore tone up and strengthen these or
gans and restore them To healthier ac-
tivity.
The discovery of the active principle
of our remedy involved the labor OF the
worlds greatest research chemists. AS
an active agent il possesses the valuable
qualities of the best known intestinal
tonics as well as being particularly
pleasant and prompt in its results.
We want you TO try Rexall Orderlies
on our recommendation. They are ex-
ceedingly pleasant To take, being eaten
like candy, and are ideal for children,
delicate persons and old folks, as well
as for the robust. They act directly on
the nerves and muscles of the bowels.
They apparently have neutral action
on other associate organs or glands.
They do not purge, cause excessive
looseness nor create any inconvenience
whatever. They may be taken at any
time, day or night. They will positively
relieve chronic or habitual constipation,
if not of surgical variety, and the
myriads of associate or dependent
chronic ailments, if taken with regular
ity for a reasonable length of time.

POR SCIENTISTS TO SETTLE
Explanation Of Presence Of Canals on
Mars Must Be Left to the
Men Of Learning.

Who shall decide when the as
tronomers disagree? Disagree they
do, and their dispute is as to whether
the canals" upon the planet Mars
are or are not. The Italian astrono-
mer, Schiaparelli, mapped upon that
distant disk III canals; but the OBJ
servations of Lowell at the Flagstaff
observatory have increased the num-
Der to nearly 600. The arid air of
Arizona has conduced to his labor of
studying the red world; yet his con-
illusions are questioned. They are
disputed, first, as to accuracy Of OBJ
servations. 1t is claimed that the
appearance of the "canals" is due to
optical strain and to the response OF
the eye to a preconceived idea in the
brain. In support of this theory
there are now presented to the Brit
ish Astronomical association photo
graphs without trace of the mark
ings upon which rests the theory Of
the canals. If the canals exist, the
explanation is that they are a part
of system of conservation and dis
tribution of water.
But the adverse critics dispute the
presence of water and of atmosphere
and of the seasonal melting of the
assumed snowcaps in the Marian
polar regions. Those caps, they as
sert, are not snow, but the residual
gas of a vanished atmosphere, or of
an atmosphere too tenuous to be re-
corded. But Prof. Lowell sticks to
his canals and stands by his tele-
scope.

Snakes In Austria.

Snakes are common enough in many
Oriental countries; few persons are
perhaps aware that they are very nu-
merous In Austria, and that the gov
eminent offers a reward for every
snake killed. In 1908 no less than
273,000 snakes were destroyed, OF
which all but 1000 belonged to ven
omous species. To aid the rural in
habitants in their warfare, the govern
ment authorities have supplied SIM
pie appliance whereby, in the case OF
a bite, the possibility of fatal result
is reduced to the minimum. This in
strument comprises small knife
wherewith the wound of bite is i'm
mediately enlarged, and In the cut
thus formed concentrated solution
of permanganate of potassium Is in
jected. That such precaution is val
liable is borne out by the fact that out
of the 140 cases of snake bites re-
ported in 1908 only six proved fatal.
