The parrot had spilled Tu-Kila-Kila's sacred blood upon tho soil of earth. According to her simple natural philosophy, that was a certain sifrn that through the parrot's Instrumentality Tu-Kila-Kila's life would bo forfeited to the great eternal earthspirit. Or, rather, tho earth-spirit would claim the blood of tho man Lavita, in whose body it dwelt, and wouia itself migrate to soma now earthly tabernacle. But for all that." sho ilisselilbtmli "Great God," she cried, Smiling- a bjnhrn smile, "you afe til'ed! You arc thirsty! Care for Heaven and earth has Wearied yoii out. You feel tho fatigue Of upholding the sud in heaven. Your arms misst ache. Your thews must give under you. Drink of the soul-inspiring jui 'e of the kavu! My hands have prepared tho divine cup. For Tu-Kila-Kila did I make itfresh, pure, invigorating:" She held tho bowl to his lips w'.th an enticing smile. Tu-Kila-Kila hnsitated and glanced around him suspiciously. "What if the white-faced stranger should-come to-night." he whispered, hoarsely. "He may have discovered the Great Taboo, after all. Who can tell the wavs of the world, how they come about? My people are so treacherous Some tra'tor may havo betrayed it to him." "Impossible." the beautiful snake like woman answered, with a strong gesture of natural dissent. "And evon if he came, would not kava, the divine, ! inspiriting di-ink of the gods, in which : dwell the embodied souls of our fathers would not kava make you more rig-1 oro'is, strong for the fight? Would it not course through your Veins like nre.- would not pour into your soul : the divine, abiding strength of your ! mighty mother-, the eternal earthspirit.-" 'A little," Tu-Kila-Kila said, yield ing, ''but not too much. Too much ' would stupefy me. When the spirits. that the kava-tree sucks up from the earth, are too strong within us, thoy I overpower our own strength, to that even I, the high god even I can do nothing." ula held the bowl to his lips, and enticed him to drink with her beautiful eyes. "A deep draught, O supporter of the sun in heaven," she cried. pressing his arm tenderly. "Am I not UU? Did I not brew it for you? Am 1 not the chief and most favored among your women? I will sit at the door. I will watch all night. I will hot close an eye. Not a footfall oh the ground but my ear shall hear it." Do " Tu-Klia-K.ua said, laconica'lv. "I fear Fire and Water. Those soils love me not: Fain would thev make me migrate into some other body. But 1 myseu nice it not. 1 ms one suits me admirably. Ula, that kava is stronger th-n you are used to make it." 'Vo, no," Ula cried, p.-e-ssing it to his lips a second time passionately. 'You are a very great god. Yon are tired: it overcomes you. And if you 1 sleep,! will watch. Fireand Water daro not disobey your commands. Are you not great? Your Eyesare ever, whare. And I, oven I, will beau ono of them." i The savage rnilned down a lew more mouthfuls of the intoxicating liquid. Then he glanced up again su.'.donly ; with a " .uick, suspicious look. The cunning of his race gave him wisdom in spite ot tho deadlv strength of the kaa Ula had brewed too deep for him. . With a sudden resolve, ho rose and staggered out. "You are a serpent, ; woman, he cried angrily, seeing the smile that lurked upon Ula's face, i "To-morrow I will kill you. I will take ; the white woman for mv bride, and she and I will feas: off your carrion body, , You have tried to Detrav me. but vou ' are not cunning enough, not strong enough. JNo woman shall kill me. 1 . am a very great gol. I will not yield. I will wait bv the tree. This is a trao you have set, hut 1 do not fall into it. ! it tne King oi tne tfam comes, 1 snail be there to meet him." ! He seized his spear and hatchet and : walked forth, erect, without one siern : of drunkenness. Ula trembled to her self as she saw him go. She was play ing a deep game, Had she given him only just enough kava to strengthen and inspire him? CHAPTER XXVIII. WAGER OF BATTLE. Felix wound his wav painfully through the deep fern-brake of the jungle, by no regular path, so as to avoid exciting tne alarm or the natives, and to take Tu-Kila Kila's pal ace-temple irom the rear, where the bis tree, which overshadowed it with its drooping branches, was most easily 1 approachable. 4s he and Toko crept on, bending low. th ough that dense tropical scrub, in deathly silence they were aware all the time of a low. crackling sound that rang ever some paces in the rear on their trail through the forest. It was Tu-Kila-Kila's Eyes, following them stealthily from afar. footstep for footstep, through the dense undergrowth of bush, and the crisp fallen leaves and twigs snapped ugnt oeneatn their lootiau. What hope of success with chose watchful spies, keen as beagles and cruel as bloodhounds, following ever on their track? What chance of escape for Fe lix tnd Muriel, with the cannibal mangod's toils laid round on every side to r. ....j i "Let the great spirit itself choose which body it will inhabit," the King of Fire murmured in a soft, low voice, glancing toward a dark spot at the foot of the big tree. The moonlight fell dim through the branches on the place where he looked. The glibbering bones of dead victims rattled lightly in the wind. Felix's eyes followed the King of Fire's, and saw, lying asleep upon the ground, Tu-Kila-Kila himself, with his spear and tomahawk. He lav there, huddled ud bv the very roots of the tree, breathing deep and regularly Right over his head projected the branch, in one part of whose boughs grew the fateful parasite. By the dim light of the moon, straggling through tho dense foliage, Felix could see its yellow leaves distinctly. Beneath it hung a skeleton. suspended by invisible cords, head : downward from the branches. It was ; the skeleton of a previous Korong who had tried in vain to reach the liough, : and perished. Tu-Kila-Kila had made j high feast on the victim's tlesh; his j bones now collected together and cunningly fastened with native rope, ; serves as a warning and as a trap or pitfall for all who might rashly ven-; ,ure to follow him. ' Felix stood for one moment, alone and awe-struck, a solitary civili.ed . man, among those hideous surround- i ings. Above, the cold moon; all abcut, the grim, stolid, half hostile natives; !

close by, that strange, serpentine, sav-' and fight for it. Tho great god knows age wife, guarding, cat-like, the sleep j his own, and wiil choose his abode, of her cannibal husband; behind, the j Taboo, Taboo, Taboo! 1, Fire, have watchful Eyes of Tu-Kila-Kila, waiting j spoken it." ever in the background, ready to raise ! Scarcely were the words well out of aloud shout of alarm and warning the j bis mouth when, with a wild whoop of moment the fatal branch was actually 1 rago, Tu-Kila-Kila, who had the adbroken, but mute, by their vows, till ! vantage of the rules of the game, bo to that moment was accomplished. Then 1 speak, dashed madly forward, drunk a sudden wild Impulse mired him on ' with passion and kava, and gavo one to the attempt. The banyan had lunge with bis spear full tilt at the dropped down rooting onsets to the breast of the startled and unprepared ground, after the fashion of its kind, i white man. His aim. though frantic, rom $tj njalo breeches P!ir !zed i wm not at fault. The tpoar trues

tohfl rif thefee and swung himself lightly lip till lie reached tho very limli on which the sacred parasite itself was growing. To got the parasite, however, he must pass directly above Tu-Kila-Kila's lioail, uml over tins point where that ghastly, grinning skeleton was suspended, as by an unseen hair, from the fork thut bore it. He walked along, balancing hlinsolf, and clutching, us ho went, at the

neighboring bo.ighs, while Tu-Kiiu-i Kila, overcome, with the kava, slept stolidly and heavily oil beneath him, 1 At hist he was almost within grasp of the parasite. Could he lunge out and clutch it? one try-out e:,ort! No. no: he almost lost footing add foil over hi thrt attempt, lie couldn't keep his balance so. Ho must try further tin. Come what might ho must go past the skeleton. The grisly mass swung again, clanking its bo. es a it swung, and groaned in the wind omniously. The breeze whistled audibly through its hollow skull and vacant eyesockets. Tu-Kila-Kila turned uneasily in bis sleep below. Felix saw t hat there was not one instant of time to bo lost now. Ho passed on boldly; and as he passed, a do.'.en thin cords of paper mulberry, strotchod every way in an iniisible network among the boughs, too small to bo seen in the dim mo ulight, caught him with their toils and. almost overthrow him. They broke with his weight, and Felix himself, tumbling blindly, fell forward. At the cost of a sprained wrist and a great jerk on his bruised lingers, he -aught at a bo -gh by his side, but wrenched it away suddenly, It was touh and go. At the very same moment the skeleton fell heavily, ana rattled on the ground beside Tu-Kila-Kila. Before Felix could disddver what had actually happened, li very great Bhdut went lip all around below, and made him stagger with excitement. Tu-Kila-Kila was awake, an t had started up, all intent, mad with wrath and kavu. Glaring about him wildly, and brandishing his great spear in his passion and despair: "Where is he, the Korong? Bring him on, my meat' Let ine devour his heart! Let mo tear him to pieces. Let me drink of his blood! Let me kill him and eat him!" Sick and desperate at the accident. Felix, in turn, clinging hard to his bough with ono hand, ga ed wildly abo.it him to look for the ) urasite. But it had gonn as if bv magic. He glanced around in despair, vaguely conscious that nothing was le.'t for it now but to drop to tho ground and let himself be : killed at leisure by that frantic savage. , Yet even as he did so, he was aware of that great cry a cry as of triumph ! t til t rending the air. Fire and Water j had rushed forward, aud were holding i back Tu-Kila-Kila, now black in the ' face :rom rage, with all their might. ! Ula was smiling a malicious joy. The , Eyes were all agog with interest and I excitement. And from one and all that wild scream rose unanimous to the startled sky: "He has iti He has it! The Soul of the trooi The Spirit of ! the World! The groat god's afco 'e. I Hold off your hau ls, Lavita, son of Sami! Your trial has come. He has it! He has it!" Felix looked about him with a whirl ing brain. His eve fell suddenlv. There, in his own hand, lay the fateful bough. In his efforts to steady himself, ho had clutched at it by pure aeeiueni, auu orosou it on unawares with the force of his clutching. A6 fortune would have it, he gras; ed it still. His senses reeled. He was almost dead with excitement, suspense, and uncertainty, mingled with pain of his wrenched wrist. But for Muriel's sake he pullei himself together. Gazing down and trying to take it all in that strange savage scene he saw that Tu-Ki a-Kila was making frantic attempts to lungo at him with the spear, while the King of Fire and the King of Water, stern and relentless, were hoi iing hitu ofif by main force, and striving their best to appease and quiet him. There was an awful rause. then a voice broke the stillness from bevond the taboo-line: "ine snaaow oi tne King ot tne Rain speaks, ' it said, in very sjleran, conventional accents. "Korong! Korong! The Great Taboo is broken. Fire and Water, hold him in whom dwells the god till my master co : es. He has the Soul of all tho spirits of the wood iu his hands. Ho will light for hia right Taboo! Taboo! I, Toko, have said it." He cla;pei his hands thrice. Tu-Kila-Kila made a wild effort to break away once more. But tho King of Fire, standing opposite to him, spoke still louder.and clearer, "if yo.t touch the Korong before the line is drawn," he said, with a voice of au thority, "you are no Tu-Kila-Kila, but an outcast and a criminal. All tho D60' pie will hold you with forked sticks, while the Korong burns you alive Blowly. lim j by limb, with me, who am flro. the fierce, the consuming. I wi.l scorch you and bake you till you are as a bamboo in the flame. Taboo! Taboo! Taboo! IFire, havo said it." The King of Water, with three attendants, forced Tu-Kila-Kila on one Bide for a moment. Ula stool by and smiled co npliance. A temple slave, trembling all over at this conflict of tho goia, brought otit a calabash full ot white coral-sand. The King of Water spat on it and blessed it. By this time a do?en natives, ut least, hau assembled outside the taboo-line, and stood eagerly watching tho result oi the combat. The temple slave in ado a H,uuA ....,,.1. .'!. ..1 long white mark with the coral sand on one side of the cleared area. Thou he handed the calabash solemnly to Toka. Toka crossed the sacred precinct with a few inaudible words of mvttered charm, to save the Taboo, as prescribed in the mysteries. Then ho drew a similar line on the ground on his side, some twenty yards o.T. "Descend. O my lord!" he c:-ied to Felix: and Felix, still holding tho bough tight in his hand, swu&g himself biindly from the tree, and took his place by Toka "Toe the line!" Toko cried, and Felix toed it. "Bring up your god!" the Shadow railed out aloud to the King of Water. And the King of Water, using no special ceremony with so great a duty, dragged Tu-Kila-Kila helpless'y along with him to the farther taboo-line. The King of Water broucht a spear and tomahawk. lie handed them to Felix. "With those weapons," he said, "fight, and merit heaven. 1 hold the bough meanwhile tho victor takes it." Tho King of f iro stood out between the liBts. "Korongs and gods," he said, "tho King of tho Rain has plucked the sacred bough, according to our fatJiors' rites, and clai i.s tr'al which of vou two shall henceforth hold tho sacred soul of tho world, tho great Tu-Kila-Kila. Wager of Battle de cides the day. Keep too to line. At the ond of my words, fo: th. forward.

Felix high up on the left side. He fell a dull thud of pain: a faint gurgle of blood. Even In the pale moonlight hi eye told him at once a red stream was

trickling out over his llannel shirt. He was pricked, at least. The great god had wounded him. TO BE CONTINUED! j FLY-CATCHING MICE. Tholr Vaes and AntU-a In a trnjr tMoraShow Window; Fbr something hew in the way of a tly-trap look into the window of the drug store at the c rner of Tremont and Eliot streeta There, is at al most any hour of the day and night, from one to four rodent quadrupedq can bo seen prancing over bottles of tooth powder and syrup of squills and tincture of turpentine and sweet sp rits of rhubarb and the other use rul articles usually displayed id such places in a wild attempt to capture the musca domestica. The mice aro simply out liy-llshing. A card hag been placed in the window in selfdefence which reads: "Fly Trap, Not for Sale," This Was done alter the door-step had been Worn half Way through by a line of people ionilng ir. to inform the clerks that the wlhdow was full of mice. The mice have been in the window for three years, says one of the clerks who has fpen that length of service for the dr. gtrist; and lie doesn't know how much longer. In the winter they get a living by gnawing oil all the labels In the store that arc glued on with starchy paste. The mice by this time have become quite tame, but thev never leave the window except when the store is closed. They have proved themselves tJ be real conveniences. When the store gets unpleasantly full of l ies, the clerks drive them Into the win dow. and then the mice have lunch eon. People gather at these times just as tluy do at the circus when t he animals are fed. The best fun comes when the mice make after a bo se fly: there Is a great race, and once caught the mice tear the Hies' wings off and bolt everything else. In this way a great pile of widgs have accumulated. The mice Carl eat glass, Considering blue-bottle flies a luxury. The recreation of theso mice consists in running up and down the curtain cord at a lightning pace, causing tho residents of the neighboring a iloons to rub their eyes and finally to avoid that side of the street altogether. The druggist long ago threw away his cat, and speaks of the manufacture of ! y paper as a lost art Bos ton Tianscrlpt. A Mote or Kindness. An English woman living in the town of Bergen in No way during many years, was In the habit of preparing every Christmas an English dinner of roast beef and plum pudding, to which she invited all of the English sailors who happened to be in the port at that time. The sailors ate. drank, and were merry, and we jhope went on their way uett r men, as everybody should be better for the touch of kindness given to cheer the hours of lifa But that was not the only result of her gentle deed. An American woman happened to be in nergen on Christmas, heard of this dinner, and coming home to America gave an account of it to some of her friends. They all .listened with pleasure; but one said, "vhy cannot we do likewise?" They wero all readv to follow. They all lived la a large seaport town. When the next winter came they formed themselves into a Scandinavian dinner ciub, and tfave much time to the concoction o.' hitherto unknown dishes. They sought out all the Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish sailors in port, and invited them to a home dinner on Chslstuias day. The room was gaily decorated with evergreen and their national I ags; the band played their own music and on the table were their own home dishes, chief among which were Risgreynsgrot (rice porridge), and Lelt flsk (.codfish). It was not costly hospitality, but it was given and received with hearty good will. The men wh probably would hare spent the day drinking in taverns were reminded of their homes, their wives, and chl dren. and of the holy purpose of the day. It is not the song of one bird that cheers the summer morning, but it is the song caught up end echoed fioni every field and forest, until the air is turned Into musl , This little note or kindness has been echoed once. Can it go farther? Youth's Companion. The Girl or To-day. Every few days some apology for manhood with more brass than brains jumps up with an essay on girls. This abominable cla s of literature always begins with a sneer and ends with a kick. A distinct I'a or of sourness permeates it Th3 genuine girl is absolutely unessayable. Nobody understands her: she doesn't understand herself. Mie is a delightful bundle of contradictions. As wise as a serpent, she is as innocent as any sucking dove. Mie Is modest as a violet and sweet as a barrel ot mo. lasses. .She is as rosy as a winter apple and as plump as an Indian summer partridge. She knows something about the piano and lots about making biscuit. She Is tender with her sweetheart and sets the doe on the other fellow. She is an armful of delights, and blessed Is the youth she takes into partnership in wearing out the sofa. She is a daisy and a dumpling, and in all ( ocl's created creation there is notbing worthy to be tamed in the same breath with her. Them's our -entimeiits, and the man who differs with us has treason in bis soul aud bile on his liver. Glasgow Times. Old Age and Hard Work. Old people make a great mistake when they give up work. Many men who havo made a competency in business and feel entitled to retire from actice work, find themselves declining iu health and becoming prematurely old for want of occupation. In most aged persons the vital lunc. tions continue in active exercise under normal conditions, but if the reg. ularitv and moderation of business life arc departed from trouble will surely follow. On the other hand, the Lancet held that "if In any dl lection it is allowable for competi tors in the raco of life to dispense with self-control, it would appear that they may, to a great extent, use this liberty with respect to physical and mental exertion." In other words, we must not cat too much or drink too much, but wo an study bard and take plenty or exercise not only wlrhout harm, but with the beat results, and it old peoplo wish to live out all the days they should find i ienty to do for b ull mind and body.

Fatal Chewing num.

A mystery of the morgue, which was su posed to Involve an unac coon table suicide bv mornhlue. has been solved by the discovery that death was caused by chewing gum, savs the Pan Francisco Examiner. The victim was u young me iical student, and the rathe- remarkable case is made more noticeable by the fact that the boy oi is years who came to h s death through an Inordinate pass on for u'um was burried the other day iu potter's field. Hubert K Terry died (iUict suddenly and unexpectedly iu an upstairs room at No. 1 l Mason street. An autopsy was performed, aud it revealed only a hard clogging of tin; intestines at one place. The stomach was sent to II. K. Miller for analysis, and the chemist went to work. He went through all h s elaborate tests for various poisons without finding trace of any. lie did find something unusual In the stomach though, and that was a half tcacuptul of gum pellets. The young man had ev dcntly been in the habit of chewing gum and then swallowing it. Nearly all gum is pararline mixed with some flavoring and coloring substan es. and paratllne is an ab olute neutral body, insoluable in anything and affected by nothing cccpt mechanically. The wads of gum were exactly as when swallowed. It became plain that the gum, so strangely disposed of, had accumulated and clogged the digestive organs. It had caused so i e pain, and finally a sudd n congestion of the lungs and other organs, which quickly proved fatal. Beat Number at a Dinner Party. A well-known and popular dinnerout, as popular with one aos as tho other, was asked what ho considered to be the best number for a dinner party. Tlis characteristic reply was: "Two: or if not, four, three of them being ladies." Ho then conceded that eight was the outside limit diners should reach. It offered ad antage all round, toclally and domestically speaking. Socially, because tho eight guests could be chosen to form a perfect octave as regards knowledge of each other, reciprocity of tastes: personal regard and the rest: domestically, because the household staff would be equal to the demands made upon it and no outside ele i.ent neo l be introduced to disturb the precision and or der of the whole. St. Louis Republic. A DETROIT BUILDER. HE TELLS A REMARKABLE STORY OF HIS LIFE. camb o Detroit about itobtv XEAKS AOO. Levi EUey'a Experience Worthy Serloan Attention. (Jrom the Detroit Evening .Vmrd.l Away out Gratiot avenue, far from tbe din and turmoil of the business center, there are many attractive homes. The intersecting streets aro wide, clean and shaded by largo leafcovered trees, and the people you meet are typical of industry, economy and honest toil. There are many pretty residences, but nono more inviting in its ceatness and in me-liko comfort than that of Mr. Levi El;ey, the wellknown builder and contractor, at 74 Moran street, just off Gratiot. Mr. Elsey is an old resident of Detroit, having moved here about forty years ago. He has erected hundreds of houses in different parts of the city, and points with pride to such buildings as the Newberry & McMullan and Campau blocks, in which he displayed his ability as Superintendent. "I have seen Eetn it grow from a village to a city, " he observed yester day, in conversation with the writer, "and I don't think there are many towns in America to-day equal to It in point of beauty. I know almost everybody in the city, and an incident which recently happened in my life has in terested an my irlenus. "It is now about eight years ago since I was stricken down with my f'rst case of illness. One cold, blust-.M--n" dav I wa down town, and throu 'h my natural carelessness at that time 1 pe'rmitted myself to get chilled right throuerh. When I arrived homo that evening I felt a serious pain in my left leg. 1 bathed tt that night, out Dy mornimr I found it had crown worse. In f . ct, it was so serious that I sent for my family physician, and he informed ine that I was suffering from varicose veins. My leg swelled up to double its natural size and tbe pain increased in volume. The agony was simply awfuL I was laid up and never le t my bed for eight weeks. At times I felt as though 1 would grow Ii-antie with pain. My leg was bandaged and was propped up in tho bed at an angle of 30 degrees, in order to keep the blood from flowing to my extremities. I had several doctors attending me, but I believe my own judgment helped me better than theirs. After a sieo of two months I could move around; still I was on the sick li -t, and had t doctor myself for years. I was never really cured, ana sutleroa any amount of anguish. Abaut two years agj I noticed an article in the hvening News about my friend. Mr. Northru tne oodwavd avonue merchant, in an interview with him he stated that he had ued Dr. Williams' Pink Fills for Palo Peo ple, and that they cured him. I knew him very well, having built his house out Woodward avenue, and I thought 1 would follow his suggestion. I must confess I did so with marvelous suc cess. From tho time I began t tako the Pink Pills 1 felt myself growing to be a new man. The ' acted on me like a magical stimulant. The pain departed, and I toon was as strong and healthy as ever. Before t:ving the Pink PilLs I ha 1 used any amount cf other medicine without any noticeable benefit. Rt the Pius cured me, and 1 was myself again.

In Melbourne they have been debating whether Sarah Urand's "Heavenly Twins" should be excluded from the mails.

Ijook Toward the Light; In a sick room there was a Jittl" rose-bush in a pot in the window. There was only one rose on the bush, and it face was turned full toward tho light. This fact was noti .'ed and spoken of, when one said that the rose would look no other way save toward the light Experiments had been made with it; It had been turned away from the window, its face toward the gloom of the interior, but in a little time it would resume its old position. With wonderful pe sistcDcc it refused to keep its fa c toward the darkness and insisted on ever 1; oking toward tbe liubt. Tbe rose has its lesson for us. We shou d never allow ourselves to face toward life's gloom We should never sit down in the shadows of any sorrow and let the night darken over us into the gloom of despair. We should turn our faces away toward the light and quicken every energy for braver dutyand truer, holier service. Grief should always mako us better and give us new skill and p wer; it should make our hearts softer, our spirits kindlier, our touch more gentle; It should teach us its holy lessons, and we should learu them, and then go on with soi row's sacred o dination upon us to new love and better service.

This was i looked up and found to be correct, and ' then tho agent asked the wife to sism. At that the daughter step; ed forward and took the pen. "Why, your mother must sign this," said the agent. "Yes, but mother can't write," the girl replied. So the mother made her mark with tho power of attorney, and the daughter did the writing. Execution of a Prince. A great sensation was caused iu the Cavicaset a few weeks ago by tho execution of Prince Itikod e iu the marketplace at Tiilis. The Prince entered the station at Tiflis recently in an intoxicated condition and picked a quarrel with a police o'ticer on duty in the building. In the course of the uarrel tho Prince drew a dagger from l... 1 ocket and stabbed the officer so severely that he died a few hours later. A trial was held and Prince Kikodze was condemned to death. An appeal was made to the Czar to pardon the aristocratic murderer, but he declined to interfere. He belonged to a wealthy and influential family." Hall to the Chief I" Tola la half the title ot an old eons. The balance Is, "Who In triumph advances." Tbe public the press and the medical profession chant this refrain as especially applicable to Ilostetter'a Stomach Bitters, chief among American remedies and preventives for malaria, ooustlpaMon, dvBpepala, liver complaint, nervousness, unquiet sleep, rheumatic twinges, and the troubles incident to advanced age. It is alao universally recognized as a reliable tonic and appetiser. As a family medicine particularly suitable to emergencies it has no equal. The nervous, the feeble seek its aid, and the happiest results follow. The convalescent, the aged and the Infirm derlv ; Infinite benefit from lta use. Against the influences ot impure air, bad water, unaoeustomed food, overwork and exposure it is a genuine preventive. Old Time Bunting. One ot tbe most cherished treasures of the Due d'Aumale is tho old Chantilly game-book, which was stolen from the chateau after the murder of the Due de Bourbon and recovered ouly a few years ago. It is a valuable and interesting relic of the days of Prince do Conde, and is bound in rod morocco, clasped with gold. Considering that in tho.-o days only flint locks were used, the bags were marvelous.

The younir man stepped behind that particular chair and remarked: 'hay, kid, why don't you get yonr hair cut in the afternoon instead of crowding a shop at night when working men have to get bartered?" There was no response, and as a barber y elled "Next!" the young man dropped into another cnair. "Gim'me a quick shave. I don't need it much, but I'm going to see my girl aod she don't like to nare bor face whiskered. She kind a likes to rub her face against mine, but she can't stand whiskers. Gee'." and the youncr man nearly fainted. The person be bad addressed as "kid" was tb? girl that cido'tUke whiskers.
