Watchinu the Seals.

Visitors at the Aquarium never tire of watching the harbor seals, and one thing that pleases them particularly is to see the seals fall off their table when they go to sleep. In the middle of the pool for the seals there are two low tables, their tops are just above the water, on which the seals climb out to sleep or to rest And some times one or another of the seals will climb out of the water to one of those tables and lie there on it, maybe close along the edge of one side and per haps with it's head and forward part of it's body hanging over the edge of the table in front, apparently all the time in imminent danger of rolling off the table at the side or of pitching off head first into the water in front. And when seal lies on a table like that, sleeping or dozing, people stand around the pool watching and waiting for the seal to fall off. He won't hurt himself when he does fall, he will sim ply fall off into the water; but old and young men. women and children, will stand there with keen interest silent ly watching and waiting for that seal to fall. And if they stay long enough, as they are pretty sure to do, they are rewarded.-New York Times.

LADY, BLINDED
 BUT CONSCIOUS
Said She Would Turn Blind and Fall When Nervous Spells Came
 on, Yet Remained Conscious.

Odessa, Fla.-"About years ago. writes Mrs. J. D. Powell, of this place, T took several bottles of Cardui as a tonic, for I was run down in health In fact I could hardly do anything at all, could only drag around and couldn't do my work Life was miser- able to me and I knew I must have some relief, as was so very weak. l would suffer with aching pains in my right side, back and shoulders. I would have such terrible nervous spells, which would come on me, and I'd fall down wherever I was stand. ing. I would turn blind, as though had tainted yet kept my consciousness. My friends would rub me-. :, circula- tion was extremely poor, and the arms, hands and limbs would be cold.
 My friends. .. recommended that I try Cardui. ... began using it and soon both saw and felt great inn provement. -. My appetite became good. I ate so my husband leased me about it. I could rest we'll at night and got so could do all my homework in a short time. =. praise Cardui to all my friends
 If you suffer from any form of wom- anly weakness or irregularity, try Cardui, the woman's tonic. For sale by all druggists.

ONE GOOD TRAIT RECALLED
Unpopular Man Not Altogether With out the Attributes That En-
 deared Him to Society.

An Indiana town in the old days boasted of two characters-an official mean man who never did good deed if it was possible to do a mean one, and an official optimist who had never been heard to speak an evil word of any human.
 In the fullness of time the bad man died. On the day of the funeraT the usual crowd gathered at the post of- flee to await the distribution of mail. Naturally the life and works of the late unlamented came under discus ciOn.
 The deceased was painted as a miser, liar, thief, scandal mOnger and blackmailer. The op- timist, who was present, listened in silence. At length one of the group turned on him.
 Say, Gid" demanded the other man, "ain't everything we've said about that old scoundrel the truth? Kin you name one deservin' trait he ever showed?"
 Well" said the optimist, you boys'll have to admit he certainly had mighty good appetite. Saturday Evening Post.

HAD PELLAGRA;
 IS NOW CURED

Hillsboro, Ala.-J. W. Turner, of thi. place, says: q ought to have written you two weeks ago, but failed to do so. 1 got well and then forgot to write you I can get about like l0-year-old boy; you ought to see me run around and tend to my farm. 1 can go all day just like ased to. l am so thankful to know there is such good remedy to cure people of peilagra.
 There is no longer any doubt that pei. lagra can be cured. Don't delay until 1t is too late. It is your duty to consult the resourceful Baughn.
 The symptoms-hands red like sunburn, skin peeling off, sore mouth, the lips, throat and tongue flaming red, with much mucus and choking; indigestion and nausea, either diarrhoea or constipation.
 There is hope; get Baughn's big Free book on Pellagra and learn about the remedy for Pellagra that has at last been found. Address American Compromising Co, box POST, Jasper, Ala, remembering money is refunded in any case where the remedy fails to cure. Adv.

Christ's, which has just elected to an honorary fellowship General Shuts, who was graduated there with exceptional brilliance in the law tripos, is not the only Cambridge col lege which has paid this academic compliment to a prominent South Af- rican statesman. Some time ago Downing conferred an honorary fel- lowship on the Hon. W.yP.4 4Schreiner.. who was also graduated with the high est distinction in the same Tripos, and was formerly a fellow. Hitherto Christ's college has proved more pro- life of bards than lawyers, having been the Alma mater of six poets of such diverse types as Milton and C.. s. Calverley-Westmin Gazette.

Treasure for Antiquarians.

In a recent issue of the London Times announcement is made of the discovery at Caervoran, on the Roman wall, three miles east of Gilsland, in Northumberland, of remarkable bronze measure of the Roman period. Such officially certified measures are very rare. On the present specimen the name of Emperor Domitian. in whose consulate in A. D. 29 the meas ure was tested, has been obliterated, owing to the hatred felt toward him after his death. The measure con- tains 171a sectarii, about thirty pounds of wine, or rather more than two gal Ions, and eight pounds have been al
 lowed as the weight of the material
 Professor Haverfield is uncertain whether it was really certified under the order of the emperor, or whether it is private venture, masquerading as official. In any case, there is no question of the date, and the discovery is of considerable antiquarian interest,

 And now, my friend, will you ex- plain in just what way you have con- served the forests of our nation?'

WONDERFUL HCW QUICKLY
 RESINOL STOPS ITCHING

To those who have endured for years the itching torments of eczema or other such skin-eruptions, the relief that the first use of resinol ointment and resinol soap gives is perfectly incredi- ble. After all the suffering they went through and all the useless treatments they spent good money for, they cannot believe anything so simple, mild and inexpensive can stop the itching and burning INSTANTLY! And they find it still more wonderful that the improvement is permanent and that resinol really drives away the eruption completely in a very short time. Perhaps there is pleas ant surprise like this in store for you. Resinol ointment and resinol soap are sold by all druggists.--Adv.
