Dismal Swamp Water.

Many interesting observations were
made during a recent excursion into
the Dismal Swamp of Virginia. sent
out by the Washington Academy Of
Sciences. The swamp is divided into
two parts, as far as the character of
the vegetation is commemorative
"black gum" and the juniper" areas.
The juniper area is of particular in.
terest. Juniper is the local name for
the Southern white cedar. Swamp
BURBERRY, white adler, inkberry. fetter
bush and other species of the heather
family are intermingled with the iuni-
per trees. The water of the juniper
swamp contains a remarkably small
quantity Of mineral matter and has
the color of tea. II is antiseptic, and
before the days of distilled sea water
il furnished the favorite supply Of
drinking water for ships starting on
long voyages from Norfolk. The sail
ors called it Juniper water" and were
very fond of it.-Youth's Companion.

EXCHANGE Of Labor.

Miss Martha Leland Sherwin, daugh'

National bank, is four years old. She
is a very polite little girl-much more
so than her brother, Jim, whose age

every prerogative Of boyhood and
lords it over his elder sister nightly
In this difficult position Martha has
proposed a plan of operation to her

Near tho ancient country seat Of
the Carews in Cornwall, England,
stands a quaint old church, to the door
OF which are nailed four horse shoes.
These have been in their present po-

TO TUNNEL ENGLISH CHANNEL
Scheme Is Being Revived in Spite Of
Refusal TO Pass Last
Bill.

The scheme for a tunnel between
England and France is being revived
in spite Of the emphatic refusal Of
the last bill which was presented in
1907. But great changes have been
brought about since then in relation
to the military opposition to the
scheme, for the coming Of the aero
plane and its rapid development as
an implement of war have to some
extent removed the idea of danger
from invasion by tunnel.
II II aeroplanes can cross the
channel together, as they did a few
weeks ago, there is little reason why
an army of them may not do so in
the near future If they wished. A tun-
mel also might under certain circum-
stances be a help in time of war
rather than a danger, as much of our
food supply could be brought
through It.
The chief advantage, however, Of
the tunnel would be an increase Of
trade and tourist traffic between Eng
land and France as we'll as countries
beyond France. At present the Dor
ings at each side are well over a
mile and It is estimated that the
whole work could be completed with
in five years, as there is no hard rock
20 be pierced. The adoption of cleo
tricity instead Of steam would also
remove one Of the original draw
backs.

Every woman'S heart responds to the charm and sweetness of a babv's voice, because nature intended her for motherhood. But even the loving nature of a mother shrinks from the ordeal because such time is regard ed as a period of suffering and danger. Women who use Mothers Friend are saved much discomfort and suffering, and their systems, being thoroughly prepared by this great remedy, are in a healthy condition to meet the time with the least possible suffering and danger. Mothers Friend is recommended only for the relief and comfort of expectant mothers; it is in no sense remedy for various ills, but its many years of success, and the thousands of endorsements re- ceived from women who have used it are a guarantee of the benefit to be derived from its use This remedy does not accomplish wonders but sim ply assists nature to perfect its work.
