ASTONISHING SuppIication.

A famous college principal used to
give out notices at the morning devo-
tional exercises, which always closed
with prayer One morning he forgot
a certain notice until he had begun
his last prayer. Praying for the pro-
fessors and students of the college,
the notice from the French professor
came to mind, and the assembled stu
dents were astorished to hear the
president say: And, o Lord, bless
Professor Karge, whose French class
will be held this morning at nine
o'clock instead of at half-past nine, as
usual"

Rootino Slips in Water.

The amateur flower grower will find
that the quickest and best method Of
roofing slips of geraniums, nastur-
tiums, etc., is by placing them in a
glass of water in a sunny window. In
q few days the roots start, and they
can then be planted in soil. From
single plant one may have a collec-
ton of plants for bedding, such as
would cost a dollar or two at the
greenhouse.

New Facts About Microbes,

It has just been discovered that the
sudden cooling of the atmosphere has
the effect of transporting microbes and
localizing them in certain regions. The
cool surfaces attract them from dis
lance almost instantaneously, the
smaller being transported farther than
the larger ones. These discoveries
throw light upon the origin Of certain
epidemics, and may be useful in help
ing us to decide what climates are

 Ing obtained by treating stomach. liver and intestinal troubles with pure vega table oils which exert a cleanstnw. soothing and purifying action upon the lower bowels. removing the obstructjon of poisonous fecal matter and gases ana preventing their absorption by the blood. This done. the food Is allowed free passage from the stomach. fermen. 'tation ceases and stomach troubles quickly disappear.
 George. II.
