Later on, while they were breakfast

brought in the morning newspapers.
He laid one of them before the prince
and jabbed his forefnger upon a glar-

Robin snatehed up the paper and
read aloud for himself.
The following card appeared at the
head Of the column and was supple

A SPRING TONIC
Old Reliable Hoods Sarsaparilla is
Pleasant and Effective.

Your close confinement indoors
and heavy living during the winter,
and the torpid condition Of your
system brought about by cold
weather, have made your blood i'm
pure and weak, so that now erup-
tions appear on your face and
body, You lack vitality, strength and
animation, your appetite is poor
and You feel all tired out.
From any druggist get Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t combines Just the
roots, banks, herbs and other sub
stances that you need. 1t purifies
and strengthens the blood makes
the rich red blood that you must
have to feel well, look well, eat and
sleep well.
Hood S Sarsaparilla is not simply
a spring medicine is an all-the-
year-round blood purifier and tonic
but it is the best spring medicine.
Remember it has stood the test of
forty years. Be sure to get Hoods.

Purity Gives Power

There are still many persons in
the world that need to be impressed
with the fact that the purer the
blood is the greater the power of
the system to remove disease and
the less the liability to contract it.
Persons whose blood is in good con-
ditlon are much less likely to take
cold or to be long troubled with it,
or to catch any contagious or infec-
tious disease, than are those whose
blood is impure and therefore i'm
poverished and lacking in vitality.
The best medicine for purifying the
blood is Hoods Sarsaparilla, and
persons suffering from any blood
diseasedisease or any want of tone
in the system are urged to give this
medicine a trial It is especially use
full at this time of year.

annoyance in his face. She smiled
securely to herself as she leaned back
in the-seat and was satisfied!
Count Quinnox found him standing
there few minutes later, twirlinS
his stick and smiling with his eyes.
Accompanying the old soldier was a
slight, sharp featured man with keen
black eyes and a thin, pointed mus
tache of gray.
This man was Gourou, chief of po-
lice and commander of the tower in
Edelweiss, successor to the celebrat-
ed Baron Dangloss. After he had
greeted his prince the quiet little
man announced that he had reserved
for him an apartment at the Bristol.

 And. even so, that didn't come up to what he'd heard tell about of the heroic period of this country. the TO- mantle age, the log-cabin days, when they were all poor and struggling, but happy in their poverty, when the latchstring was always out, and they would share their last pint of corn meal with the wayfarer not knowing where the next was to come from, but sure they would make out somehow. Uncle Zenas shakes his head; doesn't know what the country's coming to.
 One wonders who could have listen ed to the old-time circuit-riders when they called not righteous, but sinners, to repentance. Seemingly we have lost something something very pre- cious.-Eugene Wood in the Century.

There is not the frank democ- racy that used to be in his young days. Too much of what he scornfully calls "codfish aristocracy' has come in and split the happy united village into what he calls clicks" They don't have the good times nowadays like they did when they got up apple-cut- tings and corn-huskings, barn-raisings, and all the devices by which what was hard labor for one lone family was turned into a frolic for the whole settlement.

France has at last accepted the col lection offered by the great sculptor Rodin. It took her three years to de eide. She always hesitates when au- thentic riches are offered her, remarks Cri de Paris. If it Is a question of horrors, like those amassed by the late Chauchard, she jumps at them. Rodin has collected many antique mar bles, but he has not admitted the terra cottas of Tanagra or Myrrhina into his gallery. "One may be easily de ceived." he said. "It is so easy to mold an ancient original in clay. And how are you to detect the fraud? Henri Rochefort had two glass cases filled with Tanagras which were false. The fraud was discovered by analysing the earth of which these statuettes were made. This substance, said the geologists, was found in the suburbs of Paris. So it was not certain that the Greek decorators would have gone there for their clay" Among other antique fragments Rodin possesses the marvellous hand of statue. "This is signed Phidias," he said one day to an American who had come to visit him. The American turned the hand over to discover the precious stamp. Re could not find it.

Expedition From the American Muse. um of Natural History Is to Ex-

According to Roy Chapman An drews, leader of the geological expedi- ton of the American Museum of Nat ural History, "the vast Tibetan region, north of the Himalaya mountains" is the region where remains of the early mammals, including man, may be found The scope of the expedition is primarily geological rather than an thropological. however.
 Little is known of the large terri tory lying south of the Yangtse river, and the expedition, which will ap- proach Central Asia by way of China, will spend much of it's time in that neighborhood, and particularly in the wild and mountainous province of Kweichau, which, says Mir. Andrews, ''is probably the most interesting of all, and is certainly one of the least known"
 One thing that makes this province interesting is the presence of the in dependent tribe called the Miaotse, of which little is known.
 Among other places. the expedition will visit Foochow, on the coast be tween Shanghai and Hongkong, where an effort will be made to get speci- men of tiger hitherto uncatalogued by science. This animal, according to amateur naturalists, is "a handsome beast, with a Maltese ground color.'
