THE AcsOUAN DAM.

Tn the building of the Assouan dam in Egypt 5000 Italians were employed. The work cost five mil lions of pounds sterling, and will soon more than pay for itself. The great dam throws the water of the Nile back for 150 miles The CO., seryation of this volume of water means that for 500 miles along the banks, where formerly one crop was grown, three crops are now grown per annum. This wonderful work has been the means of making Egypt B thoroughly prosperous country, and the great mystery is why the dam was not built long ago.

STILL CHANGE FOR HEROINE
Sympathetic Audltor Ready With Ad- vice as to Polling the Vaunt-

The town hall was packed and the village audience followed the fair young heroine's tribulations with breathless interest.
 She was having a terrible time In the space of five short minutes she was nearly run over by a mad horse, bitten by q mad dog and drowned in a mad mill race. She escaped these things only to fall finally into the hands of the taunting villain.
 The audience strained forward as the villain led her to a lonely cave and cast her into the presence of a huge gorilla.
 'R-r-r-revenge at last p muttered the villain.
 ooh, what shall I do?" cried the heroine, as the gorilla approached with malevolent grimace, "Oh, what shall do?"
 It was too much. In a frenzy If excitement a man in the audience rose from his seat, clapped his hands to his mouth and shouted:

A Remedy No Family
 Should Do Without

No matter how healthy a human being may be it is safe to say that not many months are passed without some obstruction of the bowels, in other words, constipation, even if only tenn porary. The bloating, the dull feeling may start after the evening meal. If a laxative is not taken that night it is certain that sleep will not be. sound. and you will awaken unrefreshed.
 Hence, 1t is important for you and for all the members of your family that a good, reliable laxative be always kept in the house for just such emergency. It Is sure to be needed, and when needed you want 1t at hand. No family that is careful of its health can do without such . remedy. But the question of which remedy to have on hand is also of vast Importance.

INCIDENTS IN IssEN's LIFE.

While at Bergen, Ibsen fell a little in love with pretty girl, who used to bring the young poet flowers from the wood. One day, while walking with her, the pair were suddenly met by the young lady's father, who had 20 respect for an impecunious poet. Ibsen, like Goethe, was no nero, and incontinently fed, leaving the girl to explain as best she might It was to her that the poem "Flow-. CTS of the Wood" was written.
 As a young man Ibsen was by no means certain of his vocation. Until he WIS thirty-two he believed himself to be born for painting In fact, fairly large exhibition might be got together of the canvasses painted by Ibsen in the days of his aarly manhood, and scattered now through the farmhouses and country villas of Norway. He remained all his life profoundly interested in art, and his judgments of ancient and renaissance art in Italy are always original.
 Of Raphael he said: '*Raphael's lrt has Dever warmed me. His be- ings belong to the Garden of Eden before the fall"
