Two Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county, Indiana, was named in honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe- clal patriotism and bravery. He was sergeant in South Carolina regiment and in the attack on Fort Moultrie, early in the war, the flagstaff was shot off and the flag fell to the bottom of the ditch outside of the works. Jump Ing from one of the embrasures, Jasper mounted the colors, tied them to 6 staff and held them in position under q hot fire until another flagstaff was brought. For this commission was offered him but ne declined it through distrust of his qualifications. On an- other occasion he ana another sergeant named Newton attacked British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun- ty is named Newtoa in honor of Jas per's companion on this occasion. A county in Georgia and a central square in Savannah helE to perpetuate Jas per's name. He was killed at Savannah near the close of the WAR;

J. E. Smith, a Spaniard, residing in Hamilton, Ont, possesses two crea- lures that are probably unique. He considers them to be mermaids: Though these are described as 'fab- 'ed" or. Fictitious" creatures in the dictionaries, those of Mr. Smith have heads shaped like those of human be- ings and bodies that are distinctly fish-like. One ;s much larger than the other. anc IS considered to be the mother, and reckoned to be 300 years old. Both have fine hair like human being, and small mustache and beard. The head is attached to a hu man-iike Eeck which merges into tlle fish-lfke body, and the arms are like those of monkey, only that the fingers are webbed. It is said that the ~mermaids" were found in the wreck of q shtp in the Arabian ses

Fresh Greens for the Canary.

Canaries are very fond of lettdce, celery tops and other young and ten der greens, as all birdlovers know. When the birdlnan tells us we must not give these things to our pets too frequently the temptation to go con- trary to advice is strong, for we sym. pathize keenly. An accident showed me the way to gratify our pets without harm to them, as experience has proven. Some months since, a little birdseed was spilled on the earth in a large tub containing rubber plant. Soon these seeds sprouted, tzd we hit upon the idea of removing the bottor,, from the cage and setting it over tke young sprouts. The joy the canaries found in their greens, and the conse- quent discovery that the birds were really gaining in health and song con. vinced us that box of sprouting bird. seed was the thing to keep on hand for them.--Exchange.

 liable Fanny Remedy.

Golden, Ill--Mrs. Alice Metz, oi this place, thinks that when you have found a good thing. it is your duty tc let others know aboat it. She writes family for years, as our parents be fore used it, as a general medicine for liver and stomach tro:lbles.
 It is also fine for the children They get away sometimes, just like children will, and eat just everything Many times l have prevented serious troubles by taking my children in hand and dosing them thoroughly with Black-Draught.
 My husband takes Black-Draught for constipation. It worked wonders in his case. In fact, we are all true believers in Black-Draugnt and are never out of it. We would not resort to any other remedy. unde. any cir cumstances
 Thedfo1u's Black-Dlaught is a med icine that every person should keep in the house, and use at the least sign of indigestion, constipation, liver and stomach troubles.
 It is purely vegetable, and acts actively on the bowels, gently stimu- lating the liver, and helping to in- crease the normal discharge of bile into the intestines. It assists in the digestion of food and relieves consti- patton in a prompt and natural way

Modern Poetry.

Poetry, like every great force, has Followed an evolution of its own. and as 1t comes to us today we may trace in 1t this general tendency. It has tended away from the epic and the ex- precision of broad communal or na- tional feeling, and expresses now far more than 1t did. in far more subtle and intricate directions, the feelings of the individual. If 1t gives voice on public, national or international events 1t does so from a far more specialized and personal point of view than of ole. and with something of the acerbity and narrow intellectual outlook of tho party politician. The strength of mod ern poetry hardly seems to lie for the future In this direction.

There are places in America iD which wooden shoes are worn by working people. Wood is non-col- ductor, and the wooden sole Is warll,- CT and keeps the feet dryer than lea ther. Men and women who work iD cellars or on concrete, or where 1t is wet underfoot, ns in laundries and ice cream factories, wear wooden soled shoes hy preference, and the Chicago Herald says that half the clubs and Turkish bath houses in that city have wooden sole bath sandals.

little Habits Count,

Great business men get the habit of being on time. It is they who know best the vclue of time and the impor- tance of saving it by being prompt. Yet it may be hard to acquire the fixed habit of always being prompt, but it can be done and it is worth while to do it. In the commonest things every. one is influenced by little habits that we seldom suspect-Exchange.
