The man with the tremulous side
whiskers and the stately silk hat
stopped at the edge of the excavation
and said to the husky laborer who
was about to push the wheelbarrow:
"Ah, my friend! 1t is splendid to
contemplate the influence that your
bone and sinew will have in the con-
structive perfection of the structure
that will arise here, and"
"One sidel" grunted the laborer,
going ahead with the wheelbarrow.
The man turned to another laborer
who was about to descend into the ex-
cavation and who had pick on his
shoulder

smiled, Juggling at his right sidewhis-

that his pick knocked off the silk
hat of the enthusiastic man. AS the
latter stopped to pick up his hat he
was bumped by a wheelbarrow, and
when he finally assembled himself he
was being supported by the crossing
policeman, who held the wreck of the
hat in his free hand.
"Ha-a-a-al" shouted the kindly man.

Paris Siege Bread


A collector of curiosities in Boston shows with
pride piece Of bread that was baked in Paris
during the siege. OF course 1t is now harder
than brick and looks unpalatable
Emile Bergerat the son-in-law Of Gautier, is
writing his memoirs-and the first volume Sou
venirs dun Enfant de Paris Les Annees de Bo-
heme, has just been published. Recollectng
events Of the siege he has much to say about the
bread
Il think some persons must have kept theirs
for 10 years afterward saw pieces of bread in
a glass case was stupehed for two reasons. In
the first place, in the severest days and after jan
uary is, there was Tor each month only mouse's
ration 300 grams. This was utter starvation
The Partisan, as is well known, is a great bread
eater; he can deprive himself of anything else but
ordinarily he must have at least his $50 grams"
Bergerat in the second place does not believe
that the substance could survive the armistce
Chemistry could do nothing with it. Berthelot as.
sured Gautier that he ate the bread without I'M
derstanding It.
This bread Dantesque and not to be an
alyzed. If had been Jules Favre at Ferrieres.
I should have simply thrown biscuit on the table
in front Of Bismarck and said: Smell It, The city

No one knew what this bread was made Of.
says the Bakers Weekly, If anybody knew he
did not dare to tell the secret The animal king
dom supplied material after the vegetable was
exhausted, and the mineral succeeded the animal
In the bakery once kept by Bergerat's father a
blacksmith forged bread. Buyers broke their
teeth on nails. The report was circulated that
bones from the cataoomhs were at last used

The fashion page attracts the eyes
OF all the ladies fair;
Who knows what Turing fancies rise
At what is pictured there?
The lady who is skin and bone,
The lady who is fat
Each thinks about herself alone

The sylphlike waist, the lissome shape
Appeals to her who's plump;
The gangly one thinks they can drape
Her till she's less a trump.

And slender to the view,

in most every instance surround or overshadow
the space allotted to howers-the limbs trimmed
to a sufficient height from the ground to allow
the entrance OF plenty Of sunshine. Such trees
are, alike to the box only to be attained as the
heritage of time and consequently they lack
ing in many a newly established garden upon
which money has been expended without stint
All the summer houses, the trellis, ETC., which
one sees in these old Virginia gardens are Of
frame construction, the wood usually being paint
ed white and the garden walls which some
estates supplement the hedges are Of brick The
gardens were established too long ago to admit
of the introduction of the concrete products
which have done so much for the establishment
of the latter-day garden Almost without excep-
ton, however, garden structures are so heavily
vine clad that the material of their construction
makes very little difference in appearances. Out
side the strictly tropical vegetation there are few
flowers or trailing vines that will not grow lux
uriantly in the kindly Virginia climate and this
fact accounts for the variety of vegetation in the
old gardens.

Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartcs. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour they do
not grippe. they do not weaker, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
/ ing biliousness, Indigestion and impure
/ blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
alment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
had my way would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach.
