“Ail Gone” Feeling
Left After Taking
Black-Draugkt.
Mrs. I. Brakefleld, of Cal
houn, S. C„ says:
“I would feel tired and
have a bad taste in my
mouth. I would be dizzy,
r.nd every little while I felt
like I must sit down.
“Someone recommended
Black-Draught to me and
said it might help me. I
took a few doses and it did
help mo wonderfully.
“I new use it when I havo
that tired ‘all gone’ feel
ing, and it is simply fine.
“I can recommend Black-
Draught, and do so all the
time.’’
Get-a package of Black-

“Ancient Mariner” Had
Counterpart in Life
Many of the literary classics which
the world accepts ns fiction are based
on solid fact. A striking example Is
brought out in the Golden Book, which
tells how Coleridge canto to write his
immortal “Illine of the Ancient
Mariner.”
The poem was Inspired by George
Shclvocke, a shipmaster who spent
three years in a voyage around the
world, from 171!) to 1722. Returning
to England, he wrote an account of
the trip, telling how the ship had been
becalmed for ninny days near Cape
Morn. The one sign of life was a
black albatross, which hovered over
the vessel, until the second ofllcer,
Hatley, taking it for an ill omen, shot
it down.
There followed six miserable weeks,
in which the ship was In constant
peril, before the coast of Chile was
sighted.
It was in 1707 that Coleridge’s
friend, William Wordsworth, suggest
ed to the poet that he make Sliol-
vocke’s story Into a poem. Words- j
worth Incidentally suggested such of
the eerie details as the navigation of
the sHIp by dead men, and also fur
nished several lines of the poem it-
-seif.

Milk-fed chickens and even milk-

Grace Knots Convey
Message to Gypsies
Close observers may have noticed
in the neighborhood of country cross
roads, or where roads diverge, a tuft
of grass which has been tied into a
.knot at the top, and probably con
sidered it the casual act of some idler,
but such was not the case.
Since time immemorial the grass-
knot -lias 'been used by the gypsies as
a signal and sign. Usually ft is in
tended merely as a guide for n sec
ond division of a party, indicating
which road has been taken by the first
section, rbut, if necessary, quite elab
orate messages .may be conveyed, a
particular meaning being indicated by
the character of the knot and its po
sition with regard to the road—
whether close to or some distance
from the wheel tracks, whether on (lie
right or loft of the right of way.
The second party is even able to tell
with considerable accuracy how long
it has been since the first party tied
the knot. This is accomplished by
the breaking of a handful of grass
stems when the knot is tied—the de
gree to which broken stems are dried
being a pretty clear indication of the
time that lias elapsed.
Agra Stone Utensils
Have Call in India
Many and varied are the utensils
Hint Hindu stonecutters put on the
market. Chief among them are curry-
stones and grindstones. Every well-
conducted Indian household must have
one or both, and the currystone from
Agra must sooner or later he import
ed into all kitchens. There Is some
peculiar virtue in the Agra curry-
stone. It is so ground and polished
ns to resist the onslaughts of the heft
iest bottle washer, and the acrid
masala does not penetrate Its pores
and break It.
Stone pestles and mortars are popu
lar for the same reason. They are
much sought after by apothecaries
and the weird contingent of charlatans
"’ho make medicine for India's mil
lions. Marble pestles and mortars are
very useful for pounding up drugs,
and stone ones are generally used for
blucksalt. alum and other hard sub
stances that require less care limn
eye of newt and loe of frog. But. stone
pestles and mortal's are not the mo
nopoly of medicine.
They are turned out by Ihe hundred
for the use of the housewife. They
are heavy and cumbersome; yet
housewives will travel miles to pro
cure them, pilgrims will lug them
home if they pass by that way, and
at tiie big Indian religious lairs one
sees a pile of grindstones, eurrystones,
pestles and mortars, hailing from Agra,
Aligarh, and Jeypotc.

Mistake That Causes
Rift in Marital Life
That tit? clinging vine type of worn-,
an is more likely to lose llte love of
her husband or at least bore him to
distraction, Is the answer given by
An ho Byrne McCall to a woman who
lias written for advice to the Woman's
IIonie Companion.
“It is the growing reluctance of a
husband to express Ids ffcction in
words, caused by persistent demands
that lie do so, that causes the rift,”
says the writer. “Silence in affection
is not advocated in that statement.
Every woman not only wants to he
loved, but she wants to be told that
die is loved. But it i3 a pity for
her to force or tvpst the issue so
that it becomes not a question of how
a man may or can express his affec
tion, hut It becomes rather almost a
quest ini if how he may defend liirn-
st?L‘ or preserve Ids independence.
“It should not lie forgotten that
there are many ways if expressing
love and that one man's silence might
express more of his affection than llie
constant declarations of a different
type.
“The demand by a wife for constant,
reassurance that a husband loves iter,
when she knows perfectly well that
lie does, is not tlie way to keep a
deep and large and self-forgetting
love.”

Good Health Matter
of Correct Posture
Not only gracefulness, but also our
health and the prevention of excessive
fatigue, depend a great deal upon pos
ture—the way we stand, sit and walk,
warns a health expert in the Farm
Journal. That ,is why it is most im
portant that the person who lias iaucii
work to do, and yet wants to have
energy left to enjoy life and to give
pleasure to others, should guard
against habits of incorrect pasture.
Consider first tiie standing position.
The weight should be on the balls of
Hie feet, tiie chest up, the chin slight
ly back but in line with Hie chest, the
feet exactly parallel, (lie arms dropped
easily at tiie sides. To see that your
body is in perfect balance when you
are standing, rise on your toes and
sink down again. When you stand
with your didst drooping, your stom
ach out and your spine curved, you
appear at a disadvantage; and what
is worse, tills position causes your
vital organs to he displaced.
In walking, Hie first tiling is to start
right with the correct standing po
sition. The loos should point straight
to Ihe front or Im turned in ihe frac-
lion cl an inch. To stand or walk
with the toes pointing out produces
awkwardness and often leads to foot
troubles, such as fallen nrchos.

and (lowers the mayor seemed to be
quite a character. He held all 1 lie
offices—judge, coroner, police captain
and so forth—and whatever turned up
to he done, he was there to do it.
“After lunch, ns lie and his guest
sat smoking in the garden, lie turned
to his clerk and said:
“ Tligginson, by the way, sneak over
to the roulette parlor and tell Don
Juan Sereda I want to try him for

Clue Baboon
A grotesque but humane method of
repulsing wild nnintals is being prac
ticed in Kenya colony, Africa. Eie-
plianis, lilpppopotami, hushpi'gs and
baboons were surprised recently when
they found among their number a
queer animal resembling a baboon, ex
cept that it had all its hair shaved off
and wore a coat of bright blue.
They were so startled that tlic-y no
