What TomorrowMeans I to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects re-
veal an atmosphere eminently suit
able for the observances or recrea-
tions of a Sunday. They are benign,
without being actively favorable, and
while they denote a spirit of peace
and contentment, they will not incite
to enthusiasm or engender mucn
vigor. OFF and on during the day
there will be sensed desire to speak
or act on impulse, and 1t Will be
necessary to guard against a sur
render to these transitory emotional
tendencies. These threatening pc
riods are only of short duration and,
with the exercise of little SELF
control. need not interfere with the
even tenor of your way.
Children born tomorrow will, dur
ing infancy, not display those signs
of good health and vigor which all
people love to associate In their
minds with early years. Much OF their
future physical condition will depend
on the care with which they are nur-
tured as babies. In temperament
they will be lackadaisical and indif-
ferent alike to success or failure.
They will lack ambition and need
prodding all the time to do that
which they have to do. 1t must,
however, be said in their favor that
they will not be quarrelsome and
they will be very easy to get along
with, as the path Of least resistance
always will be their choice.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
possess an artistic. rather than a
practical, temperament. You, loving
beautiful things and esteeming cul-
ture above all things. are often the
despair of those of your friends
whose interests are more material.
If you are engaged in any occupa-
ton where your innate characteris-
tics are wasted, you are unhappy
and, even at some personal sacrifice,
should seek some other field of en-
deavor in justice to yourself.
You are, of course, emotional, and
never hesitate to demonstrate your
likes and dislikes. You possess
strong prejudices and are much In
fluenced by externals. You can
never appreciate the beauty of a
diamond in the rough.
You, of course, are irregular In
your habits and untidy in your Gus
toms. Those, however, who are dear
| to you, soon learn to make allow
ances for your faults and value you

cause, though milk has only n small
amount of iron itself 1t increases the
value of the iron-containing foods.
Better get your iron from palatable
food than from a bitter tasting tonic
out Of a bottle. Eat freely of the
above list containing iron and nature
will do the assimilating.
A bulletin from the New York State
College of Agriculture, Cornell Uni
versity, reads: Iron is important for
growth and keeping blood in good
condition. EXpectant mothers, chill
dren, young girls and women need
diet rich in iron" Direct sunshine
and fresh air also play an important
part in both making and keeping the
bones and blood healthy.
Rouge on the cheeks brightens up
the eyeS-that's expensive and trou-
blesome. You look full of vitality
when you're dolled up, but like a
Deaths head in the morning. Get
your share of iron and your blood
will do it's part in taking care of
your complexion.
Many people who need this invigor-
ating iron and who begin on the
proper diet are very much surprised
that they are not picking up their
heels with a new charge of pep the
second day. But it cannot be done
so quickly. 1t takes time. But the
right food will generally do the trick.

Canada Situation Grave.

MONTREAL, Canada, May 1. 1875.
The commissioners who arrived here
from the Continental Congress on
Monday have sent forward to that
body today a report which frankly
pictures the difficulties now confront

The report Is doubtless written by
DIR. Benjamin Franklin. ut is i'm

households possessed a pinking iron or

Trials of an Ornithologist.

The early American ornithologist,
Alexander Wilson, while hunting near
Wilmington, N. c., discovered an
ivory billed woodpecker, one Of the
largeSt of all woodpeckers and one
which is now extinct in that State
and exceedingly rare anywhere out.
side the tropics. He captured 1t and
kept 1t under a blanket. 1t emitted
terrified shrieks, precisely like the
screams of child being hurt, so
that every one stared at him, and the
landlord of the hotel doubted whether
to admit him. Wilson put the bird up
in the room and was gone an hour.
When he came back the woodpecker
had knocked away the plaster and
lath from the wall in hole as big as
a mans fist and had all but pecked
his way to freedom. Wilson then
tied him to a mahogany table and
went out. When he came back the
woodpecker had dug up the polished
surface of the table as far about him
as he could reach. In three days the
bird died Of selfimposed starvation,
and Wilson had to pay the hotel for
the damage done.
Now what do you know about that?
