sweetnesssrha. Never PsIIs.

During a sleepless night the vizier Hujjeduddin Kumija dispatched his slave. Bedruddin Bias, to bring him sweets. The slave procured copper kettle heaped with many kinds of fruits and sweets, and MujJeduddin began to eat
 You relish them, my mastery asked the slave.
 The vizier shrugged his shoulders, ''These fruits are sweet-for the mo- ment," he said. but show me a fruit the sweetness of which will endure even unto the judgment day"
 Such fruits there are. my master. '' cried the slave and hastened toward the Mesched Husa. where he awoke the starving orphans in the house of Aliwin and led them forth into the room of his master. 0verjoyed. the famished children devoured the fruits
 Look, oh. my master" said the slave. Here you see fruits the sweet. ness of which endures unto the judg. ment day"

KIDS AND PIE.

The utter lack of care or knowledge displayed by some mothers in the feed ing of their infant children is little short of amazing. We came across a case the other day of a mother who was in the habit of taking her baby of two years to Call at a home in which there were several children, whose delight it was to literally stuff the poor little baby with pie-"she liked 1t so.' The mother calmly wit messed the performance, offering no ob- jection and evidently seeing no con- nection between the sallow complexion and general puny appearance of her baby and the things it was allowed to eat. A child's taste is not sure guide especially when care in its formation has not been exercised. If never al- lowed to have things which it should not eat the child will not form a taste for them. And this is the easiest and '-af fest method to follow.

A cartoaraphie Curiosity.

Catherine de Medici once entertained the ambition of acquiring both North and South America as appendages |" her crown. and with that object in view she dispatched a couple of her representatives to the scene of opera lions. The northern section of the en- terprise was committed to the charge of the queens favorite. Troilus de Mesgonez. who was adorned with the title of viceroy of France and sailed from Havre with a large fleet, only to be wrecked in the Atlantic. Another favorite. Strozzi. was commissioned to capture South America, but he was no more fortunate than Mesgonez, for he was killed at the Azores. These happenings. however. took a long time to reach the ears of Queen Catherine. and in the meantime she nursed her dreams and prepared a map on which ''the new world of the north" and the new world of the south" figured as colonies of France. This cartographic curiosity is among the-map treasures of the National library in Paris.

Robert was in the habit of expecting reward for every little service. At the end of the week be made out a "bilr' to his mother and carefully laid 1t where hen eyes would fall upon it. The items were as follows:
 Mother Owes to Robert.
 Five cents for running errands.
 Five cents for being good"
 That evening there appeared beside Roberts plate a paper upon which was written:
 Robert owes mother. for years of happiness. nothing: for nursing him through long illnesses, nothing; for do ing good to him. nothing"
 Thoroughly ashamed of himself. Robert ran to mother. threw his arms around her and sobbed:,
 Mother. I will do everything can for you after this. and I'll never ask you to give me anything but just love."-omaha World Herald

If the prognostications of the bug men are correct there are considerable sections of the country which will in the course of two or three months be visited by the seventeen year locusts. While the locust is in the mind of many synonymous with the grasshop- per, there Is really very little resem- blance between the two insects, the former being a transparent winged in- sect with broad head and stocky body of a greenish tinge closely resembling a large fly. On matching the female locusts will be active during a period of five or six weeks. The chief dam age done by them will be to young fruit trees. the young and tender twigs of which they will split in depositing their eggs. After these are deposited the mature insects will disappear into the ground for another seventeen years sleep. It is predicted that the damage which will be done by the brood due in 1913 will be much more extensive than that of the present sea- sons batch

Residents of Canaan Cannot Doubt What Has Been Twice Proved.


 What Has Been Twice Proved.
 In gratitude for complete relief from aches and pains of bad backs-from dis dressing kidney ills-thousands have publicly recommended Dosn's Kidney Pills. Residents of this vicinity who so testified years ago, now.say their cures were permanent. This testimony doubly proves the worth of Doan's Kidney Pills to Canaan kidney sufferers.
 Mrs. Paul Chapin, 236 N. Elm St., Torrington, Conn.,, says: My kidneys were very weak and every cold con- tracted settled ln them. My back ached almost constantly and I could scarcely stoop without having twinges through my loins Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, procured box and through their use was cured. I publicly recom- .mended this remedy at that time and am now pleased to confirm all l then said about it."

The world would probably be just as we'll off if a half or more of the dogs were put out of the way by some hurry up method. but now and then a valuable canine that one would really like to save gets dose of poison. In such cases it is worth remembering that hot lard and milk will, if given at once, often induce vomiting, which will free the system of the drug. They also tend to act as an antidote for poisons having a corrosive effect. In the line of drug antidotes potassium bromide is excellent. It can be got at any drug store and may be given in a small quantity of water.

Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont of New York is lending aid to back to the land move ment that Is, to say the least, unique and interesting. She selected twenty young women from many applicants and has placed them on her farm. Brockholt, on Long Island. They dress in bloomers, broad brimmed hats and boys shoes and are to do all the work on the place, including wood chopping and caring for the horses. They are to be given thorough train ing in household duties, and when the time comes will take up blowing, planting and the raising of poultry. At the end of two months, If they like farming" they will have an op- portunity to purchase small tracts from their benefactress. This plan may work all right awhile, but the chances are that most of these girls will have a man around the premises before many moons.

Brazil has a rival to our Niagara falls, called Iguassu, which is very similar in appearance to Niagara, hay ing a horseshoe bend on one side. The falls cover a distance of about two miles, with a final leap of 213 feet. The depth at the foot of the falls Is more than a hundred fathoms and is believed by the natives to be bottomless. During the rainy season the volume of water taking these wild leaps is much greater than that of Niagara, while Iguassu surpasses Niagara further in the fact that it stands in q primal wilderness, undts- turbed and unmarred by commercial ism.

There seems to be a disposition on the part of the railroads in the central western states. where the two cent fare laws were adopted, to let the rate stand, for since the new rate became operative it has been found that pas senger traffic has been enough larger to more than offset the loss resulting from the reduction. If practicable tE the sparsely settled western states it would seem as if conditions were such as to justify the rate in many an east ern state.

After several years Of seemingly futile effort to pass the White noun tain Appalachian forest reservation bill, the chief objection against which has been that it was unconstitutional for the federal government to buy and hold as a private owner for forest re- serve purposes land belonging to the several states, the bill was enacted into a law by the congress just closed. While it will accomplish the de- sired results, the law Is so framed that it authorizes the government to purchase lands at the headwaters of navigable streams in the White noun tains and Appalachian mountains ito prevent the erosion of soil and to pre- serve the hardwood forests" in the latter territory. The bill carries with 1t an appropriation of $12,000O00, which may be devoted to the objects named. The enactment of the meas ure into law Is a most commendable step in the direction of needed con servation.
