CONSTIPATION *
And Attendant Ills Relieved
By Takicg_Black-Draught.
The Rev. Granvillo Ed
wards, who lives at School-
field, near Danville, Va., was
troubled for a long time with
•constipation and its attend
ant ills, which kept him from
feeling fit. Ho writes:
"Luckily I then, which was
about twenty years ago, heard
about Black-Draught and be
gan to take it. After tak
ing Black-Draught for a little
whllo I noticed that my trou
ble began to disappear. The
poisons, which had accumu
lated in the body, as a result
of constipation, wero elimi
nated, and I felt a hundred
per cent, better. The dizzy
feeling, which I had felt al- nr
most every morning beforo
breakfast, was gone. jkd
"Black-Draught is a house-
hold article with us. Wo al
ways keep it on hand.”

Draught for constipation.

Meadow the Scene of

Robert Buikos of Gloucester Is ofiefi
r.ot down us the founder of tin; Sun
day school, writes tin English corre
spondent, hut untiling Is heard of Em
manuel Twynnliig, lho shepherd of
•Magpie Bottom, Shoopseotnbe, Glou
cestershire, from whom Kaikes got Ids
Idea. Magpie Bottom is a beautiful
crinkle at Hie edge of Hie Slieepa-
conibe, v.here the lane departs down
the valley, at last reaching Glouces
tershire. The young man must have
been up here to take a service. At
any rate, ns lie went by Magpie Bot
tom there was Shepherd Emmanuel
.Twymdng In that tliyine-sci-ntccl little
paradise, with a ring of children
round him, explaining perhaps pas
toral parables of Iho New Testament.
Msslei* Bob Itaikos slopped, perhaps
,1oined In a hymn and talked to the
shepherd, asking lam Imw lie ‘'wont
on” when the weather was not so fa
vorable. lie was told that on wet
days some handy cottage sheltered
the class, and that, come wet or tine,
there was a class every Sunday.
During the walk hack to Glouces
ter the tho,light took root and, with
out the thyme and ihe marjoram and
the Inconsequent chirruping of grass
hoppers, Robert took up Ids shepherd
ing in the dark streets of the callio
drill city.
Ancient Grech Had
Idea of Evolution
Empedocles, the Greek philosopher,
anticipated Darwin In Ids theory of
evolution by more limn 2,800 years.
About 480 B. G. be published Ids ex
planation .of .life and its interpretation
,of the universe in which lie held that
"being” or matter was Imperishable
and hence eternal. lie maintained
(lie existence of two fundamental and
opposing forces wli'ch he typified as
friendship and strife. The lirst he
represented as internal and the sec
ond ns external and these two as in
perpetual conflict—the first struggling
to maintain the status quo ami tho
second to change it—thus producing,
according to his theory, all the phe
nomena of nature. He held that these
changes had been occurring through
all the past ages with the effect of
development in nil phases of existence
with man as the hignest product, thus
far, ,of the process. Modern scientists
declare that in thus indicating the
principle •“strife” Empedocles grasped
The germ of Darwin’s Idea—the sur
vival of the fittest—far by Its exposi
tion ho seems to hav' intended to con
voy the Idea of competition for exist
ence or supremacy.—Kansas C’il.v

Practical Bible Warning
‘‘There are extraordinary sarcasms
Jn .conineidenees,” s*iys Alexander
(Black, author of "The Seventh Angel”
and ‘‘The Great Desire." “One night a
thief made off with my overcoat from
a restaurant. It was not the sort of
resin rant in which one is admonished
to be alert. Moreover, I bad never
been robbed of anylhing in my life. I
had had no admonitory experience.
Naturally the incident made a rather
profound impression. The weather
'deepened that impression.
‘That same night I happened to
open my Bible to verify the location
of the verse from which I took the
title of 'The Seventh Angel.’ And In
the .verse immediately preceding I
read these startling words: ‘Blessed
Is ho that watchelh nnd keepeth Ills
garments.’ ”
Scanted Teas
In China scouted tens are popular
The aroma Is from flowers. The flow
ers commonly used are the white jas
mine and the “yu lan," a species of
magnolia. Such tens are prepared by
heating the flower petals with the tea
leaves. Sometimes the. flower petals
are left In the tea, but usually they
are taken out after the tea has Iho de
sired scent. In the preparation of
some varieties the process consists of
sprinkling a layer of fresh blossoms
•over a layer of tea, and repeating tho
process until the container is filled.
Then the container is placed aside un-
fi! the perfume has thoroughly 'per
meated tho ton leaves. 'The olll petals
are then removed and fresh petals
added. This is repeated until the de
sired nromn Is ntt: nod. Tire tea is
then packed for market.
Seeking Black Canary
A Burbank Of birds is trying to pro
duce n black canary, according to a
recent issue of the Pot Dealer. Ga
mines, to date, have been produced
white and blue beside the convention
al yellow, but no one has yet succeed
ed tn producing a jot black feathered
songster and perhaps there will be
“millions in iL” for Hie man wlm suc
ceeds. Novel and harmonious color
effects have been produced in recent
years by the use of colored bird cages
In interior decorations, but the novelty
of a Jet black canary and a pure white
bird cage will lie sufficient to satisfy
the most exotic demands of the In
terior decorators.

‘‘And landing nt Syracuse we tarried

of the great sieges occurring four cen
turies B. C. against Syracuse, placed,
as one writer expresses It, for both
war and commerce in the very center
of the ancient world. Two centuries

Friend'3 Mild Rebuke
Failed in Its Purpose
Smith and Jones were personal
friends, so one day Smith took a per
sonal friends liberty and said to
Jones:
"V011 mustn’t take offense if I speak
lo you about something I have had on
my mind for some time—just a little
habit of yours.
"Nobody has evdr had the nerve to
tell you before,” Smith continued in n
hesitating sort of voice, ‘‘and you are
.such a splendid, noble fellow."
‘‘Yes, yes,” answered Jones.”
Smith cleared hla throat-; Ihon, will
great determination, launched out:
"You’re one of those fellows who
never really know what is being said
to them; you’re always pursuing some
train of thought. Anyone cnn tell half
tho time you nro not listening by tho
faraway look in your eyes. You’ve
offended a Iqt of people. Of course,
it’s terribly rude, only you don’t know
it. You mustn’t any more, old chap”—
putting his hands on .Tones’ shoulders.
"Promise me you'll not.”
Jones was then obliged to face his
friend.
“Just what were you saying?” lie
inquired in a faraway voice.
Marvelous How Birds
Wing Bach to Home
•Bird lovers have believed for cen
turies flint migratory birds return to
the same borne, year after year. Mod
ern science has proved this belief to
be right. Birds nre caught in traps
that do not hurt them, marked with
tiny log hands of aluminum, each hear
ing u number, and released. Next
year, the same birds .are caught again
hi the same locality, -often when oc-
(Oupying the same nest.
Evidently, a bird’s memory for di
rection nnd location must be quite ns
marvelous as the older writers be
lieved. The catbird winters ns far
south as Panama, yet catbirds marked
in northern Ohio came back to the
same neighborhood, year after year.
Sometimes they move a few rods or
furlongs, but the frequency with
which they return to the very spot is
astounding.
Cats find their way hack to tho old
home across a Township, horses across
a county or two, and dogs have been
known to pass through several states
in returning to a beloved master, but
birds lind their way across a con
tinent, nnd sometimes over u sea us
well.
•Organization Counts
The Baldwin locomotive works got
an order for a monster locomotive. It
was shipped in 15 days.
"How did you do It?” one ef the
oflicials was asked.
’ .‘‘Organization," ho responded. “Oi-
sniikzatlon is the art of getting men
10 respond like thoroughbreds. vTieh
you cluck to a thoroughbred he gives
you all the speed and strength of.
heart and sinew‘he has in him. When
you reluck to a jackass, he kicks."
Here Is an illustration worth while,
which -surely applies -to men as well
a? lower animals.
A wonderful thing is the ability to
respond -with complete -efficiency -when
ever called upon.
Ami a more wonderful thing Is to
he able to get other men to respond
that way when you call upon them.
'That is what the great men of In
dustry—ns well as of war—have been
able to accomplish.—Gulf Coast Lum
berman.

It Was a Good One
It was our custom in English class
at school to choose a certain person
to read his theme aloud before the
class, writes a correspondent. O11 this
particular day the girl who sat across
the table from me had '-let me see her
paper before class started. It was a
good one, so when the teacher asked
whose theme we would like to hear,'
I promptly' suggested that the girl
across from mo read hers. She arose,
but Instead of reading the one I had
seen, she look another one from her

Idea for Searchlights
In the night, when low clouds flont
in a thin veil above the river, where
searchlights on battleships throw their
“beams upon them, a curious round
patch of light can be seen on a cloud.
Airmen flying above these clouds
would also see the patcli of light and.
in clear weather, the long beams cast
upward into the sky.
t The suggestion lias been offered
that air-lighthouses should be provid
ed with vertical searchlights of great
power. Even in moderately foggy
weather the light would penetrate the
cloud of mist and be visible 'from
above.—Popular Science Monthly.
Selected Big Ore
Albert, age six, was very fond of
squeezing tooth paste from the tube.
His mother warned him not to take
too much. One morning lie said:
“How much may I take, mother?" j
"Oh, a little,” she replied, "about :
ns big ns a bean.”
Then Albert pinched the tube and ;
out shot tlie paste.
"Oh, oh!" exclaimed his mother.
“Not so much. I said ns big as tv-
bean.”
“Y"es,” said Albert, "ibis is a string
bean.”—Youth’s Companion.
Tourmaline Peculiarity
The crystal, tourmaline, is capable
of attracting small bits of paper and
straw in much the same way r.s am
ber. This attraction is, of course, due
to an electrostatic charge.
When the crystal is exposed (0 sun
light of a low temperature it loses Its
electrical charge, but regains it upon
being heated again. If it has a nega
tive charge at first, It will have n posi
tive charge when it Is reheated.

hibit phenomena along this line, hut
tourmaline is the most interesting 11 cl
spectacular of all.
Wild Creatures Made
Subservient to Man
Man gained the dog by domesticat
ing Hie jackal and different species
of wolves, in different parts' of the
world and then by crossing or, by a
more or less unconscious selection
bred different varieties, until we have
at present a elmos of intermingled
forms. Something similar but on a
i mailer scale was true of the domestic
cattle, according to "The New Stone
Age in Northern Europe,” by John M.
Tyler. One kind of domestic cattle
appears fully domesticated hi the old
est lake dwelling. It Is unlike any
wild European farm. This Is Hie Bos
brnoh.voeros. It was almost certainly
imported. Mingled with Its forma we
fluid those of the Bos primigenius, na
tive of Europe and north Asia. Init np-
pamitly not domesticated. This is
the unis, which was common la Eu
rope in Cne-mr’s day, nnd lasted in
central Europe until 100:1 A. D.. and
still lingers in l’oland. This was a
very large nnd powerful form with
long spreading horns whose domesll-
ealion appears to have commenced
toward the dose'of Iho Neolithic pe
riod. It is not improbable that It was
domesticated, or at least tamed, Inde
pendently hi different countries nt
quite! different limes. Raising of cat
tle was at ils height during the Bronze
age; afterward the results seem to de
cline and the cattle lo degenerate.

CARDUI
A Vegetable Tonic C 41
Eastern Man Credited
With Remarkqble Puri
Though Judge Elrenezcr It. Hoar’s
name is scarcely known outside of
Massachusetts, he sat on the Supreme
bench of that elate, was chosen by
President Grant as his first attorney
general, nnd after the refusal of (tire
senate—because of two honest rebuffs
of senatorial intrigues—(0 confirm his
nomination ns justice of the United
States Supreme court, he became tire
acknowledged leader of the Massachu
setts bar. Ills wit was perhaps a lit
tle too caustic for political prefer
ment. lie was one of the perpetra
tors of what is doubtless the most
remarkable pun on record—a triple
pun. This feat was performed in n
conversation between the judge and
his cousin, Senator William M. Evarts.
The incident Is related by Miss Ellen
Emerson, Ralph Waldo Emerson’s
(leughter:
Judge Hoar told me that he and Mr.
Evarts wore .talking together cine day
about n lawyer, bright, hut of doubt
ful practices, whp had lately ,come _£o
some distinction. Mr. Evarts said:
"Vet ho seems to have been getting
on lately: 1 * The judge responded:
"Yes. more than that, he’s been get
ting honor"; nnd Mr. Evarts instantly
added: “And perhaps now lie’ll begin
to get honest."—From the Outlook.
Efficient Spending
Tire measure of real necessity Is
surprisingly small. When one finds the
medium ground between prodigality
nnd stinginess Ire will realize that ho
can live there, oven though hie income
may he moderate. Greater moderation
In many things would leave us a
healthier and happier race, to say
nothing of wlmt It would do for our
bank accounts. Certainly, he to re Inly
ing a thing one should honestly ask
him elf whether lie needs it. lie
should, likewise, give himself an hon
est answer.
The second principle of efficient
spending Is (hat when one has honest
ly decided Hint lie needs a tiling lie
should buy lire best Ire can get. If
one buys at all, it pays to search tire
jxarket for an article of high quality.
Moreover, lie is very apt not to find an
article of high grade unless lie does
search (lie market rather carefully.
Fake Teeth for Bears
Animal dentistry, says a dentist cor
respondent. is as risky as It Is fasci
nating. The filing of rough or un
even teeth of n lion or tiger requires
not only strength hut nerve, for you
cannot put a wild animal under gas
as you can a man or woman. 'To 1 ex
tract an animal’s tooth is far from nil
easy business, and in many cases It Is
easier to pull a screw from a piece of
oak by means of a pair of pliers. A
well-known menagerie owner once had
an old pet bear fitted out with a com
plete set of false teeth. The plates
had to Ire “glued” to lire mouth of the
beast hi order to keep them In place.
