WHAT is BOTTLED SODA
AND cARBONATED WATER7

Some people have the impression
that carbonated waters are not health
full, and for the benefit of those who
are skeptical, | will here state its
therapeutical effect as given by Mr..
J. c. Goosman. NJ. E.. in his treatise
on the Carbonic Acid Industry.
Carbonic Acid Gas in water checks
acid fermentation in the stomach,
cures Nausea and is the most natural
and effective anaesthetic known to
overcome a chronic disposition to
vomit. 1t promotes the peristalic mo-
tions of the stomach and intestines,
is a much esteemed remedy in acute
febrile diseases and is ardently de-
sired by patients on account of its
thirst allaying and cooling powers. In
cases of chronic catarrah of the stom
ach. kidneys and bladder. soda and
carbonated waters are a CHIEF rem
edy. Those waters are manufactured
and delivered to the trade by The
Delta Bottling Works, 34S Meeker st.

MORE TROUBLE IN A GARDEN
Old Gentleman Went Too Far in His
Inquiry, and Demonstration
Proved His Undoing.

An elderly gentleman walking
through his garden one day stopped
before fig tree on which were two
figs just rtpening. His favorites were
hgs, and summer often came and
went without the fruit coming to ma
turity.
Shortly after, he met his gardener,
who, assuring him the figs were quite
ripe, was requested to send them to
the summer house, where his master
was about to rest.
Picking the figs, the gardener sent his
little boy Of seven with the basket. On
the way the little fellow stopped and,
removing the leaves, gazed upon the
tempting fruit
The attraction was too great; he ate
one. Covering the other with the
leaves, he proceeded upon his errand
On being asked if the gardener had
not sent two figs, the boy, after a mo-
ment's silence, answered: Il ate one. -
You ate one? How" exclaimed the
old gentleman, angrily How did you
come to do that"
Dropping his eyes to the basket II
took it like this said the child, taking
the remaining fig, and l ate 1t like
this"
And, suiting the action to the word,
he consumed the second fig before the
astonished eyes Of the old gentleman.

Baodad and Queen of Sheba.

The Bagdad Of the Arabian Nights
still exists, but in greatly diminished
form. In fact the grand old palaces
and mosques Of its prime are nearly
all in ruins, and only a small popula,
ton lives where once was a city OF
100000 people. A new city Is
gradually coming into existence on
the opposite (east) bank of the Tigrls,
the site being valuable from a com
mercial point of view. The inhabitants
number about 100000. and are mainly
Bedouins. The famous palace of Har'
oun-al- Raschild has disappeared, and
the foreign consulates occupy its site
It is only tradition which asserts
that the queen of Sheba, who once
visited King Solomon, lies buried un
der an eight-sided brick tower bear
ing her name in old Bagdad. The citl
zens have ceased to venerate 1t, we
are told, and the tower is approaching
q state of ruin.

LITERAL IN HIS THEOLOGY
Darky Preachers Humorous Comment
on Biblical Text AS He Under
stood Its Meaning.

OF old the right of individual private
Interpretation Of the scriptures was
not accorded to the laity. Only the
priests or preachers were authorized
to say what was meant by the sacred
text. That has all been changed, and
no man will now be expelled from the
most orthodox church for believing
that Balaams palace mule did not
really address his fellow citizens OF
Judea on the political issues Of the
day, or considering that the statement
of the suns standing still at the order
of Captain Joshua was an illustrative
allegory and not the record Of frozen
fact.
This advance IN theology Is Illus
trated by the story of the darky
preacher who delivered a sermon from
the text, these eight did Micah
bear"
"Muffrinds,' said he, you is singu-
larly blessed by de Lawd in dis gen
Grafton. If you wants some milk you
done goes to youah COW, and at one

The spider, three inches across with

on the water. After a time a nsh
came under the outstretched legs,

Concerning Men With Tails.

It would not be wise to build upon
the story of the coast natives that IN
the interior of Papua there are men
with tails. Similar beliefs have been
held in many parts of the world and
many ages, sometimes from impress
sions of apes, sometimes from more
or less spiteful creduIity about a peo'
pies neighbors. For centuries 1t was
a common gibe on the Continent that
Englishmen had tails. 1t originated
from the story that the people OF
Canterbury or Strood, having Knocked
at st. Thomas riding upon a little ass
and cut off its tail, were punished
with the curse that thenceforth all
their boys should be born with tails
And the SCOTS of other Englishmen at
the "Kentish longtails" rebounded up
on the whole nation. so that even III
the time of Edward VI. Englishmen
abroad suffered from the taunt.

Crow "He.ped" in Golf Game,

An unusual golf story comes from
Scotland Mrs. Barnett, an American
lady living al North Berwick, while
playing on the course recently. had
her game considerably interfered with
by persistentJy lnquisitive crow. She
had tust made tee shot when the
crow secured the bali, and after flying
with it for some distance, dropped 1t.
The lady made two other shots, and
the crow, to her amazemenf, twice re-
turped and lifted the ball after she
had played it.
