HAVE LIFE ONLY IN FABLES
Wsltknown but Never Seen Animals
Among Them the Phoenix
Dragon and Unicorn.

There are some NEUROLOGICAL mons
tiers which all Of us have heard OF, but
none of US have ever seen Who, for
instance, has ever set eyes on
Phoenix, that remarkable bird, men.
toned even by church writer's, which
renews its youth In the fire? And yet
there are few birds whose names are
more widely known
In spite of fairy tales and Chinese
armorial bearings where is the muse
UNI that contains even a bone, let
alone a skeleton of a dragon? As a
matter of fact did snakes ever fly?
Equally fanciful Is the unicorn.
More ought to be known about this
good and gentle animal. In particu-
lar he is susceptible to female charms,
fact that was taken advantage Of
by hunters, who, according to the
story books, used beautiful maiden
as decoy TO enable them to capture
the unicorn. The chief prize about
the unicorn was not the brush, as in
the case of the FOX, but the horn.
This was considered the finest anti
dote to poison, and 80 strong was this
belief that almost up to the time Of
the French Revolution all food served
at the royal table III France was touch
ed with piece OF Nhat was supposed
to be the horn of unicorn. Even in
China legends about the unicorn pre-.
vail. There 1t is described as so gen
tie that It would not walk on growing
grass or tread on the smallest insect
Unicorn. 1t may be added, were the
supporters of the arms OF the old kings
of Scotland, and for that reason the
unicorn is represented today in the
British armorial bearings.

ART AND ARISTOCRACY
0y CARL CLAY.

II wasn't remarkable that she cared
80 much about nobility, or that she
knew much about art, for In point Of
fact she had never seen a nobleman,
and as for art, II had always been
represented to her by a few columns
In the newspaper. containing illusions
to subjects unfamiliar to her. Then
one day she met the marquis. From
that time her devotion to art and the
aristocracy was remarkable.
A girl friend, stenographer like
herself. had asked her to visit the
Art institute with her one Wednesday
noon hour. Though she would much
rather have gone to see about get.
ting hat she had so great an ad.
miration for the friend. who was very
advanced In her views on many sub
1ects. that she followed the friends
lead rather aimlessly through rooms
filled with pictures Of the sea, OF AMI
mails, cows and horses and lovely wo-
men dressed as she had never seen
women Of her world dressed.
And this" said her friend, is
the old masters room"
The term didn't mean much to her
and she thought the old masters an
odd looking company until suddenly.
away of In corner. she came face
to face with the marquis.
Il was not painted eyes that looked
at her from above the heavy run: they
were real eyes and they held strange
fascination for her. Yet she felt al.
most ashamed to stare at him and she
wondered that he did not turn his
head away from her plebeian gaze.
There were no more old masters for
her In this room after that; she had
met her master and he dominated her
She went often to the Art institute
from that time on and she never failed
to pay her respects to the marquis
It was a romantic experience merely
to stand before him and look into
those curious and not altogether kind.

Found the Meat,

The high price of meal was forcibly
brought to the mind OF q Massachu-
sets farmer recently when he went to
town ald bought 40 cents worth
of steak, receiving 10 cents in change.
When he got home he couldn't find
the meat, At last he discovered the
dime In his coat pocket, That gave
him the clue and opening his purse
he found where he had put the steak.

BRONCHITIS SUFFERER
Takes Druggists Advice W
SpIendid ResnIt.

# anyone should know the worth
Of medicine, it is the retail druggist
who sells it over his counter every
day in the week, and is in position
to know what remedy gives the best
satisfaction.
Mrs. Frank n. Uline, Of West Sand
Lake; N. Y, says: For number Of
years was g. great sufferer from
bronchitis. Last July had an attack
which was more severe than any, and
my friends thought could not recover
from it. Then was advised by my
druggist to try Vinoi, which did,
with wonderful results. My cough
has left me; I have gained in weight
and appetite, and I am as strong as
ever I was. I advise all who have
bronchitis, chronic coughs, or who ara
run down te try Vinol."
5 It is the combined action Of the
medicinal curative elements of the
Gods liver, without the greasy oil,
aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron that makes Vinol so efficient.

Tho Curious erapple Plant.

are thrown out OF the seed pods by e1-
plos;ons; others. by means Of hooks.
attach themselves to passing animals
and are carried long distances. OF this
last class is the fruit Of the gourdlfke
grapple plant that grows IL the deserts
Of the Transyaal and Orange river col
ony. From the hard pod Of this plant
project clawlike runners that are arm.
ed with sharp pointed booked thorns.
and wher springbok or some other
animal steps on them they pierce the
hoof and start the animal galloptng
madly away. AS the pod often sticks
to the animals foot for several days
the seed Of the plant Is likely to be
widely distributed This contrivance
of nature seems unusually eruei. for
the animal that Is so unfortunate as to
tread on the grapple plant not only
suffers intense pain. but Otter becomes
an easy victim Of its enemies.
