Relief Came at Last

Father Had Given Up Hope of Curing Son’s Cough Mr. A. F. Sherer, owner of a machine shop, Haviland, Ohio, says. ** My son had a cough for several years. We began to think his case a hopeless one. He could get no relief until he used Glando Pine. Three bottles cured him.” A neglected cough has undoubtedly caused more deaths than any other, agency. A lingering couga should be promptly treated. If allowed to continue ‘the tissues of the lungs will be weakened and the power to resist epidemics of cold and grip is lessened. By getting three ounces of Glando Pine you can make one pint of excellent cough syrup. Keep it on hands and ,use it freely. Stop that cough before it has too firm a grip upon you. Dqn’t be careless and make a mistake that may cost you your life. If you can not get Glando Pine of your druggist send 50 cents to The Co., Fort Wayne, Indiana, and it will be sent you. It is easy to prepare, costs but little, and is pleasant to take. It is splen-, did for coughs, colds, bronchial affections,.and highly recommended for croup. It will relieve the spasmodic coughing in whooping cough. Glando Pine contains the pure form of white pine to which other valuable ingredients have been added. Directions foe preparing accompany each bottle. v

CAN EAT WAY THROUGH LEAD

Beetle of Remarkable Power Would Make Man Much Trouble If It Existed in Quantities, d /robably most pel-sons who read Jie newspaper story of die discovery by a Santa Barbara (Cal.) telephone engineer of an Insect that eats Its way through sheet lead thought It in the same class with the ancient hoax about “the worm that eats steel nails.” which was perpetrated about a quarter of a century ago and still reappears at Intervals. One of the editors of Engineering News, however, ha.s seen the insects, a number of which are held In captivity In lead boxes with glass covers, to see how long it will take them to bore their way to freedom. The insect is a slender black beetle ahont a quarter of an inch long, with hard wing covers and of innocent and placid demeanor. It is said to light bn a lead-covered telephone cable and bore a tiny round hole through the lead sheath and the paper Insulation down to the copper. Possibly it believes the cable to be a part ot a tree or vine into which it is accustomed to bore holes, ai»i so it proceeds to bore through the lead as it would through the bark. Some persons think that concealment is its motive; others that the boring process is preliminary to egg depositing. The lead borers have been heard of in South Bend, Ind., and Rockford, Ill.; in Omaha. Tacoma, Portland and San Diego; in Florida and in Australia. The fact that numbers of them have been found in old lead foil tea packages leads oue to suspect that the family is of oriental extraction. — Youth’s Companion. ' -

DAYS OF ATHENS’ GREATNESS

Emperor Hadrian Did Much Toward Making the City Religious Center for All Hellas. It was during Hadrian’s first visit to Athens (about 124 A. D.) that he made plans for rebuilding the majestic temple of Olympian Zeus. He added signally to the adornment of Athens with ir«\ny temples and other buildings ; he built an aqueduct to bring the water of Cephissus to the city, and at Corinth I*> constructed aqueducts to bring to that city the water from Lake Stymphalus. Sparta was then the most* important city in the Peloponnesus, and the visit of Hadrian there is established by an Inscription. He was absent from. Rome three years at this time, returning by way of Sicily, where he made the ascent of Mount Etna to witness a sunrise. Tlt-egorovius believes he has evidence that proves Hadrian to have been in Athens again in the year 132 A. D.. and he gssumes that the great temple of Olympian Zeus was then completed and dedicated. Not for centuries had Athens known any such magnificent festival as that of the dedication of this Olympieion. It was made a national festival, with representatives from every city in Greece, as the Olympian Zeus was the new religious center for all Hellas. The ■dedicatory address was delivered by Polemon of Smyrna, who was the most celebrated Sophist of his day.—From “Athens, the Violet-Crowned,’’ by Lilian Whiting.

Gold Leaf on Wood.

The following '•method is given for applying gold leaf on wood: The surface must, first be carefully cleaned and prepared, and when quite dry treated with the appropriate gold size, which is laid on with a very soft hog’shair brush or camel’s-halr pencil; several coatings are applied, each being dry before the / application of the other, and finally smoothed down. To this surface the gold leaf, cut into suitable sizes, is taken up by the tip of a special brush and laid on, being pressed down by a dry camel’s-bair brush, and so on piece after piece un til the whole surface is covered. Finally, when dry, certain parts of the gilded frame are burnished with a flint or agate burnisher specially made for the purpose. The whole operation requires a certain amount of experience to obtain satisfactory results.

The Perfect Mind.

Truth is bigger than our minds, and we are not the same with it, but have a lower participation only of the intellectual nature and are-rather apprehenders than comprehenders thereof. This is. Indeed, one badge of our creaturely state that we have not a perfectly comprehensive knowledge, or such as is adequate and commensurate to the essence of things; from whence we ought to be ‘led to this acknowledgment that there is another perfect mind or understanding being above us in the universe from which our Imperfect minds-were derived and upon which they do depend.—Ralph Cud worth.

Not a Joyous Occasion.

A pig belonging to James Newman of San Francisco was unusually obstinate, and he tried calling it “nice piggie” and a lot of other pet names, but the animal sported and refused to come along. Then its owner called the hog names that Indicated he was very angry, but the harsh words had Mio more effect than those of honey. •At last Newman lassoed the animal and was at once arrested for cruelty to animals. “The hog didn’t seein to be very cheerful, judge," the policeman told, the judge. “He was on the way to bis own funeral,” Newman pointed out. “You wouldn’t expect him be laughing, hardly, would you now. judge?"

USE CANNON MADE OF WOOD

People of .at Least Three Countries - Employ That Material and Have Found It Satisfactory. • « 1 ■ " " Anyone familiar with modem weaj> ons of war and the high explosives used in them would naturally suppose a wooden cannon of little use. Wooden cannon have been used with considerable success in Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The wood used is very tough, having a twisted grain that curls about the log in such a way that to split the timber with the ordinary means is almost Impossible. The best trees are selected and a piece of the tog five or six feet in length and one foot in diameter is cut. After the bark has been removed npd the log made perfectly round, ft Is swung up on a crude truss and a hole is burnbd into it from one end. The log is wound with fresh rawhide, which shrinks and hardens. When the cannon is covered another layer is wound on after certain treatment, and this is continued until the weapon has increased several inches in diameter. Then the weapon is treated to a hot blast, which tends further to contract the hide binding until it becomes almost as strong as wire. These crude cannon have been employed in a number of instances, and it is astonishing, so it is said, how many times they can be fired before they burst or are otherwise disabled.

DISPUTE OVER HUMAN BONES

Discovery in Florida Gives Scientists Opportunity to Indulge in a Lively Squabble. j ' - • ; - Geologists are having a lively controversy among : themselves over certain human remains which have been unearthed at Vero, Fla. Human bones were found in geological formations of the pleistocene or glacial period; man existed in America during that early age. But, objectors interpose, the skeletal remains are those of a modern sort of man, a regular Indian type. So recent type at that period Is incredible. The individual must have been buried in the ancient - strata. The other side answers that burial Is out Of question. The formation of the earth above the bones indicated gradual natural accumulation, and not the heaping of earth Into a grave. That the bones Were scattered some twenty feet from the others, which Indicates that they drifted while on the surface (how could burled bones move twenty feet through the soil); and, further, that the fact of the remains bbing of a modern tj-pe of man merely shows' that this modern type of man lived in the pleistocene age.

Fortune Telling in Germany.

Very curious forms of divination are practiced in Germany. The methods of forecasting the future vary, of course, in different localities. In many parts of Germany for ln:«tance, a girl who is desirous of knowing the vocation of her future lover Is told to listen tb the singing of a large kettle. With more or less accuracy the trade or occupation is determined according to the various tones. A popular German amusement is the telling of fortunes by means of walnut shells. Good or ill-luck is foretold according to their movements in a bowl pf water. Casting lead is another amusement to which the German devotes himself. The molten matter Is poured Into a basin of cold water after being placed over a spirit lamp. In tracing the various shapes assumed by the lead great amusement is afforded. For they are all presumed, "Ky the way, to be symbolic as regards the future.

Sympathy In Plants.

Plants possess feelings and emotion similar to human creatures, and it may be found some day they possess powers of reasoning. Plants which have been occupying a large sunny window become attached to each other, and it very frequently happens that when separated they become sick and finally die. A begonia becomes very much attached to a fuchsia, and if the fuchsia is removed the begonia will be apt to show in its appearance that something is serf ously wrong. Plants seem to be aware of each other’s presence, even in the garden. It is difficult to say how far such things really go in plant life, and It is a study we should all take more Interest in as we observe the curious things in nature.

"Doctor Jim’s" Burial Place.

The body of Sir Starr Jameson, better known as “Doctor Jim,” of raid 1 fame, rests beside that of his beloved i leader and friend, Cecil Rhodes, amid! the solitudes of the lofty, lonely Matop- j pos, in Matabeleland. The remains < were removed from England for that ] purpose. The lead shell in which “Doctor Jim’s” body was incased was quietly removed from Kensal Green cemetery antj shipped to Africa. Thence the remains were conveyed to Bulawayo and onward through some of the most charming scenery In Rhodesia to that famous lonely hill in the 5,000 feet high Matoppos, called by Doctor Jim’s friend, Cecil Rhodes, “The View of the World.”
