Berries OF the Nightsha de.

The berries Of the deadly nightshade
(Atropa bclladOnna) are such tempt
ing fruit for children that both they
and their parents ought to know the
plant and the terrible danger Of eating
It's berries. These are the source from
which the poisons atropine and bella
donna are made.
The deadly nightshade grows from
three to five feet high on strong
branched purple colored stems Its
pointed, oval leaves vary in size and
stand In pairs on short foot stalks.
The flowers are purple, pendent and
bell shaped. These appear in June and
July and give place TO shining black
berries in August and September.
This poisonous herb is OF the same
family as the tomato and potato

Two Freaks of Nature.

Two contrasting freaks Of nature are
the Island OF Fire and the Lake Of
Snow. The Island Of Fire is called
the Home OF Hot Devils. It is situated
in the midst Of n large lake Of boiling
mud in the island Of Java. The steam
and gases which arise from the sticky
mud form themselves into bubbles at
tanning a diameter Of five or six feet
and sail high up in the air like bal
looms, carried hther and thither by
the wind and finally exploding with II
loud crash.
The biggest snow lake is seen from
the summit Of IIispar pass. in the Ka-
rakoram range. 1t Is more than 300
square miles In area. In Switzerland
the sea OF ice might better be called
the sea Of snow, as the surface is bro
ken up by solar heat, which makes a
minute assuring in the ice, giving it
the appearance Of snow.

KEITH'S THEATRE.

One of the biggest and most promis-
ing programs of the year is that which
kcth's Theatre is announcing for the
coming week n bill especially rich in
novelties and fun. Heading the bill
will be that inimitable funmaker and
father, Eddie Foy, with the Seven
Little Foys, who are appearing in new
extravaganza, "The Old Woman Who
Lived in Shoe,' said to be the big
gcst hit of their careers. From the
tiniest little Foy to the jocular Eddie
himself, the octette is at his or her
best, quite the most delightful offering
OF the vaudeville year.
\ special attraction OF the bill will
be the celebrated Nature Singer, Charles
Kellogg, whose amazing ability to talk
bird talk and sing the songs OF the
fcathcrcd creatures has made him world
famous. Mr.. Kellogg not only illus
trates his ability to sing the bird songs,
but introduces his Dancing Flame,
showing how vibrations mny control
flame, shows how FIRE was made from
few sticks, aroordiug 70 an old Indian
custom almost obsolete now, and is
alone worth a visit.

PARAGRAPHS.

1t is whispered that the rum
mage sale" is losing some of its
former popularity and drawing
power. Olneyville has for some
years proved lucrative field for
enterprises of this. sort, and now
shrewd observers claim that a cold
ness and indifference has become
noticeable. No reason is assigned
for the falling off in popular favor
of this old-time favorite.

heat" something serious happens to
your health.
When you feel cold ii is sensation,
not necessarily the temperature Of the
tissues. Often with the blood feverish
or away above its normal warmth you
feel chilly. So much Of the superheat-
ed blood Is then at the surface OF the
skin that an extra norma! amount Of
heat leaves too quickly.
ON the other hand, men and women
who drink beer, gin, whisky and SINH
lar alcoholic beverages feel the glow
Of warmth" and believe they are hot
when as matter Of course their blood
is trine below blood heat tempera

thing.

the skin where the sensations OF heat

TALK AT NANTUCKET.
Where Old Salt Sea Phrases Come as
Natural as Eating.

Where Old Salt Sea Phrases Come as
Natural as Eating.
There hos always been charm
about Nantucket for outsiders because
Of the sleepy quaintness Of the place
and the islanders odd sea phrases so
generously interlardcd in their conver-
sations. These phrases are SD much a
part of their talk that their use Is un
conscious
They never pull, they always "haul;'
they do not tie or fasten anything
they splice" or Delay" it, they do not
arrange to fix thing. they "rig it" OF
rig it up" they do not throw any
thing away, but "hcave it overheard" :"
they "back and fll;" they "luff,'
tack" come about" and square
away" on any and all occasions
Before engaging in any venture they
first "scc if the coast Is clear" then as
they proceed they keep the weather
eye peeled" and always look out for
squalls" Then they sound it out" un.
til they "fathom" 1t. If they don't
like the "lay OF the land" they give It
wide berth"
All this is according to "The Nan
tuckct Scrap Basket" book compiled
and edited by William f. Macy and
Roland l.. lIussey.
The authors tell the story of certain
Quaker mother Of Nantucket. who once
denied thdTshe ever used any OF the
nautical expressions so common there,
and told her children to remind her If
they ever caught her doing il. The very
next morning she gave them some eggs
to leave at the home Of relative on
the way to school with the words:
Take these into Cousin Phebe's and
tell her | think this squares the yard
with us. and thee must scud, for it's
almost school time"

1t is an unusual thing for drug
gist to sell medicine under q guaran

not cure. Yet this Is the way w. l.
Gokay, the popular druggist, IL sell
ing Mona, the standard dyspepsia
remedy.
Never before has he had 80 large a
number of customers tell him that a
medicine has been successful as with
Mi-o.na. People who few months
ago looked like walking skeletons
have put on flesh and today are rudy
and vigorous with perfect digestion
and good health.
There Is no longer any need for
anyone suffering or making their
friends suffer on account OF dyspep'
STA. Mona can. always be relied
upon. The percentage Of cures is so
great that there Is little risk to him
in guaranteeing to return the money
il the medicine does not relieve.
And he stands ready to do so without
any questions.
Headaches, all forms of indigestion,
specks before the eyes, dizzy feelings,
and all forms Of liver trouble are
helped by Mi.o-na. A few days treat
ment should show considerable gain
in health while a complete cure often
follows rapidly.
