There are many over-worked, tired

vicinity who need the strengthening,
tissue building, and vitalizing effects of
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic, and so sure are we that it will
build them up and make them strong
that we offer to return their money
if it fails to benefit.
Vinol is a delicious preparation of the

A Good Idea.

A certain mill owner was getting
very eXasperated with his men over
the condition of the cloth which they
produced. Out of about every ten
lengths sent through to the warehouse
five or six of them had holes in. In
the hope Of stopping this the pro-
prietor informed the men that for all
the holes they made he would stop a
shilling in their wages. The next
week a length came in with two holes
in it close together. The proprietor,
therefore, sent for the man who had
done it and said:
"Now, Jones, I told you that for
every hole that you made in the cloth
you would be fined one shilling, and
here is a piece with two holes ill.,"
Jones picked up the cloth and looked
at it. then suddenly tore the two holes
into one.
That saves a shilling, then" he
said.

DESTINED FOR HIGH PLACE
Even az a Child Napoleon III Had Con.
fidence He Was to Be a Man
Of Destiny.

"Being a boy" meant very little to
Louis Napoleon, for he had 1t in his
mind almost from the day he was
born to be emperor of the French. In
a moment of confidence he said to his
bosom friend, Baron d'Ambes, who In
turn confided it to his diary, now pub
lished as Intimate Memoirs of Ma
poleon III".
II have retained a very lively inn
preston of an hour, about my seventh
year, when the idea occurred to me
for the first time, and very clearly.
that my destiny was not the same as
that of other children; that it held
something greater and more serious.
But | cannot tell whether it gave me
a feeling of pride or of fear-perhaps
both together.
"In any case l had already illustri-
Gus names and important events to
look back upon in my past. / knew
that my grandmother, who was dead,
had been an empress, that my mother
had been a queen, and my father a
king-and my uncles had been kings,
too.
81 grew accustomed to the notion
that I, too, should n day be emperor
or king-I did not know which, al
though emperor sounded finer. l
knew Napoleon was at st. Helena on
a rock, and he sometimes haunted me
like a phantom.
"Alr this" concluded the confession.
filled my little head with gloom and
s~unshineIand left me pensive."
And we'll it might! These are not
the imaginings and dreams of a child,
but Of a care-ridde1 man. But his be-
lief in his destiny served Prince Louis
one excellent 'turn-it made him a
hard worker, deeply imbued with q
sense of duty that increased with his
years.
The commandant of the fortress
where Louis Napoleon IA kept a pris-
oner or account of his ~pretensions to
the throne of France, was deeply i'm
thought it his duty to keep a careful
watch on his prisoner. Fearing that
the boy, in despair, might take it into
his head to kill himself, he deprived
him of every weapon that might serve
his representatives, razors, and so on.
One day the prince said to him with
a smile:
Have no fear. I belong too much
to the future to try to shirk the pres.
ent."-Youth's Companion.

SACRIFICE THAT WAS FUTILE
Boyhood That May Well Be
Called q Tragedy.

7 heard a cynic talking on the fu.

said a New York lawyer. according to
the Christian Endeavor World.
Il did not agree with his conclu-

When ! was a youngster the dog

heard that the lad with the canine
c~ountenance was to come to our town.
We had saved up all our pennies,
and when the boy arrived we had 25
cents. We figured the admission would
be 10 cents and we would have a
nickel over for candy-for what's see

With the Scientists.

After a long series of remarkable
experiments, a New York physician
has demonstrated that the function Of
the little understood spleen is to sup
ply red and white %corpuscles to the
blood.
Experiments have been made by the
United States Bureau of Mines in COM
bining limestone with coke as a fuel,
forming a liquid Stag which runs free

bles.
Because salts used as adulterants
interfere with the passage of electric
currents through wine, French scien-
lists have invented a system employ
ing telephones to test the purity OF
such beverages.

What Becomes Of Chimney Smoker

Smoke is composed Of gases and Of
little particles of fuel which are car
ried up the chimney by suction.
Knowing this, the ultimate end Of
smoke may be readily explained. The
fuel particles fall to the ground Of
their own weight when they get be-
yond the drawing power of the Chin
ney and out of the current of the
heated air formed in the chimney 1ue.
There is a lot of carbonic acid gas in
smoke which mixes with the air and
eventually becomes food for plants.
Some other gases which are not en-
tirely consumed when they come from
the chimney, are burned by the air
still more until they, too. become car
bonic acid gas.

sawdust as a DRESSING.

DR.. Charles w. Cathcart urges in
the British Medical Journal the use
of pinewood sawdust as a dressing
for wounds. 1t must be obtained from
absorbent wood, sifted through a No.
8 sieve. and then through a No. 40
sieve to remove the dust. 1t must be
sewn up in sterilized gauze bags, loose
ly filled, and these are placed upon
the wound. They absorb the dis
charges, deodorize the secretions and
act to a slight extent as ~antiseptics.

Tears are but futile, none fit praise may sing
AS round thy bier disconsolate we stand,
Longing, yet daring not to touch the hand
That yesterday was locked in friendly clasp.
Today lies still and white in Deaths cold grasp.
Soldier of Christ! The Kings own messenger!
Thy words and life a benediction were!
Yet infinitely more thy death shall be
To those whom thou didst serve so faithfully,
A constant call to higher things above
By conservation to a life of love.
Thy steps already touched eternity!
So may we live, that when shall come the sound

More worthy still for having been thy friend,
More ready. like myself, to face the end.

Special Cable Despatch 10 The suy

LONDON, June 9.-The Chronicles
correspondent at Chiasso says that
since the beginning OF June a constant
stream of Americans has poured out OF
Germany. Most of them nave gone to
Genoa to embark for the United States
Others are travelling In Italy, anxious to
see that country before going home via
Liverpool. The majority OF them, he
says, have long been residents OF Ger
many.
This exodus is solely due to the pres
ent strained relations between Germany
and the United States. All of the
Americans leaving Germany declare
that the position of Americans in Ger
many has become altogether intolerable.
lie quotes an American banker who
lived in Bcrlx for five years and who
had made "A great deal of money and
many friends there as being very glad
to leave the country. He had per
sonally received no insults but had
heard OF other Americans who had. He
felt that the politeness of his German
friends was simply a mask TO their
deep anti-American feeling and anger.

MANY CREDIT BANKS.
GermR ms Believe Foes Must Paw
Losses. says .NeutraI.'

~ @"e y
LONDON. June 9.-The neutral" cor
respondent OF the Times, who is visiting
Germany, again discusses the financial
condition of that country. He describes
the astonishing numbe of war credit
banks and institutions which nave been
organized throughout the country to
meet the needs OF every class of the
population except the workers. who,
however, have their own credit arrange-
ments.
Nothing has been overlooked he
says mo means neglected to uphold
credit within the country. yet pressure
IL being brought TO bear upon the Gov
rnmen to induce 1t to widen tn sphere
of credit for trading among the lower
classes. The larger manufacturing and
trading concerns are relying upon the
advances made by the Government.
The banks are overloaded with paper
securities and large II small businesses
are burdened with war loan and other
paper, The explanation why these diff
culties ave not yet influenced the pub
lie is that the people believe that Ger
many's enemies will have to pay hes
losses"
Tn correspondent is surprised to find
this view even among bankers. but this
optimism is not shared by the highest
financial authorities. Men most init
mately acquainted with the dangers OF
this enormous credit editice seem TO have
the conviction. as Yet unexpressed, tina,
unless the work of the German sword
on which the future of the whole nation
is mortgaged, Is fully realized by a
sweeping victory on the battlefield, the
first result of the struggle will he an
economic catastrophe the like OF which
the world has never seen.
