Word for the Dog.
“Society women criticised for fon

woman for enjoying the society of
her dog until you have seen her hu*-
band."
Suffered Twenty-One Years
Finally Found Relief
Having suffered for twenty-one
years with a pain in my side, 1
finally have found relief in Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root. Injections
of morphine wire tnj only relief
for short periods of time. I be
came so sick t tat 1 had to mule:
go a surgical operation in New
Orleans, which benefited me for
two years. W hen the same pain
came back one day 1 wits so sick
that I gave up hopes of living. A
friend advised me to try your
Swamp Root and I at once com
menced using it. The lirst bottle
did me so much good that I pur
chased two more bottles. I am
now on inv second b ittle and am
lceling like anew woman. I
passed a gravel stone as large as a
big red bean and several small ones.
I have not had the least feeling of
pain since taking your Swamp
Knot and 1 foci it my duty to rcc
commend this great medicine to
all .suffering humanity. < Iratefully
yours,

IF WE HAD NO ATMOSPHERE.
Tho World. Anid Other Queer Effects,
Would 3e Deaf and Dumb.
Without the atmosphere, besides
the inconvenience to breathing, a
great many peculiar tilings would
be observed that would seem very
extraordinary to us. Tho sun would
rise straight up in the morning into
a sky as black as ebony, traverse a
black sky and sink down to rest at
night into a black bed. No beauti
ful glories of tho sunset and sunrise
would appear, no blueness of the
heavens be seen, no red sun gradu
ally growing brighter, but one that
would rise as a fiery orb and remain
thus all day. No twilight and no
daybreak could cheer us, for there
would be nothing to diffuse the
light.
Unless the sun shone directly on
a thing we could not see it. Thus
our houses would have to be made
of some transparent substance or
else be artificially lighted in the i
daytime. No soothing shades would
appear in the landscape, but every
thing would stand out boldly and :
clearly, every object casting dense j
black shadows that would render I
invisible any one entering them. No j
voice or music could be beard, for
there would be no medium to carry
it. No birds or insects could flit, j
about in the trees and above us,!
for there would be nothing to en-
able them to utilize their wing mo
tion. No clouds would be seen in
the intensely black sky, and no
thunderstorms or high winds would
be possible. No vegetation could
exist, and no animal could live. In
fact, this old earth would be as dead
as Hector as far as activity was
concerned.
Vet this is the exact condition of
affairs on the moon, which has no
atmosphere and consequently suf
fers every one of these disadvan
tages.
It is rather interesting to con
template tho successive events on
the earth if the almospherc should
be quickly removed. The first thing
that would probably happen is that
every animal, insect, fish, bird and
plant would suffer a violent explo
sion, for each contains air at a
pressure of fifteen pounds to the
square inch on the outside, which
is balanced by an equal pressure on
the inside and would rush outward
on the first pressure being removed.
This can be shown by placing the
hand over an air pump and gradu
,-ily exhausting the air. The part
exposed will gradually swell. An
other illustration is when a tornado
sweeps round a house, taking the
outside air away for an instant. If
the house is closed the windows and j
doors will lie blown outward with j
enormous force, and sometimes the,
sides themselves of the house are:
blown in all directions.
The Parthenon*
The destruction of that famous
building the Parthenon took place
in IG.S7 during the siege of Athens
by the Venetians. The Turks held
the city, and the Parthenon was
used for a powder magazine. One
day during the conflict a Venetian
bombshell dropped into the build
ing, and the explosion followed
which badly shattered the struc
ture. From that date the renown
ed building has stood roofless and
exposed to ail the inclemencies of
the weather. For more than 2,000
years the temple stood entire, and
in its ruins is the architectural
wonder of the world.—New York
American.
Suitable, Indeed.
Sir Hubert von Ilerkomer, the
well known artist, used to tell an
amusing story of a London art deal
er. This man had two beautiful re
productions of the painting, “The
Approaching Storm.”
One of the pictures he placed in
the show window, but it did not
sell. At length in order to draw
attention to the picture he put a
card on it, on which he printed the
words, “ ‘The Approaching Storm/
especially suitable for a wedding
present.”
A Changeable Name.
The French island of Reunion
has changed its name four times in
a little over half a century and with
little or no reason for doing so.
In 1793 it was Bourbon, as it had
been for a century and a half, but
fjie convention then changed it to
Reunion. Under the empire it be
came Isle Bonaparte. At the res
toration it reverted to Bourbon.
Finally in 1848 it became Reunion
once more.
Not Real Food.
Tommy went out tc dine at a
friend's house one evening. When
the soup was brought Tommy did
not touch his, and the hostess, look
ing over, said, “Why, Tommy, dear,
what’s the matter? Aren’t yon
hungry tonight?”
“ Yes,” replied Tommy, “I’m quite
hungry, but I’m not thirsty.”—
