Warming the Eggs.

There was once an old lady in
Scotland who kept few hens. AS
she lived close to the house in which
church minister lived. he asked her
to send him two new-laid eggs every
morning, and he would pay her for
them.
So the old lady sent her girl to the
minister's house every morning with
two eggs, and the minister's servant
always thought the eggs were newly
laid because they felt quite warm. as
If they had Just been taken from the
hens nest.
But one day the eggs were cold. so
the servant asked: Are the eggs
fresh today. Janey? They do not
seem warm"
The simple girl looked at the maid
and then said: "Ou, ay, they're quite
fresh, only my mother could not get
the cat to sit on them this morning
as 1t ran away"

II Saved the Calf.

Deacon Brown had dressed for
church and had suddenly remembered
that he had not fed the calf. The calf
was very young and the deacon was
very tenderly and cautiously raising
him on b-4tle. He hesitated about
venturing to feed the animal without
changing his clothes, but his time was
limited. so he took the bottle and
went to the barn. The calf choked,
and accidentally coughed milk all
over the deacon's coat--a fact which
irritated the good man severely. and.
losing his tempre, he said:

cough in five minutes by tho clock.
1t relieves quickly, and certainly
brings about a cure, by its tonic
laxative action and therefore is
superior to ordinary preparations
which only relieve and then ag-
gravate by their constipating eff
fects.
One dose is not laxative, but 8
to 10 doses daily create a midday
alive action and it Is said that you
can feel the medicine working on
the lungs, throat and Bronchial
tubes. giving grand feeling of
freshness and strength to the en-
tire system.
Any one can make full pint
very cheapIy. Obtain of your
druggist or have, him order
from the wholesale house,
2 IL ounce package of
essence mentho-laxene. Empty
1t into a. pint bottle and fill
the bottle with homemade syrup
composed of one pint of granulat-
ed sugar and a half pint of boiling
water. When the syrup is cool add
it to the mentho-laxene.
The dose is a teaspoonful to 10
times daily or as required. Give
children less according to age 1t

This Is a pleasant tasting and
