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- Draught, today, and fry it.

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. G. H. McGUiRE D AH LON EGA. ‘GA.

Then a 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.” •short section of garden hose should be put in place, reaching from the sur- iftUi^HflMHMiiMl'd'ore the hole was down tiie tu- jye tiie baby it strong Dahlia of Mexican Origin Dahlia history commences in 17!)1. when Cavanities, the director of the Botanic garden of Madrid, Spain, de scribed the (lowering of a set of dahlia roots received in 17S!) front Vicente Cervantes of Mexico.

Once before starting on a lecture tour, lie said to his press agent: “I want you to work up a reputa tion for me. I don’t know that 1 am particularly timid, but I should like to lie thought so. A timid man can do anything. If he is silent when lie ought to speak, people say, ‘How charming! He’s so tiinid, you know.’ If lie speaks when lie should he si lent, they set it down to nervousness. A timid man can dare so much with impunity. So please tell all the peo ple in advance that I am timid.” Those Noisy Atoms!

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.

Racial Mark Plainly Seen in Place Names While most of tiie states of Hie Mississippi valley, besides countless rivers and lakes In all parts of (lie country, bear Indian names, but a small number only of tiie towns that are tiie work of the white man havo adopted niinics borrowed from the original owners of the land. Not one in ten, it Is claimed, of Hie 150 large cities lias an Indian name, If wo ex cept Chicago, and among those that have it is usually an adaption from' some neighboring lake or stream. The early explorers and settlers have left their racial mark. Up tiie Hudson and Mohawk the trail of tiie Dutchman is pretty clear. Tiie French i Influence in northern New York and Vermont and along the line of the Great lakes is familiar in many names, Mississippi has no “saints” in ils li t, whereas across tiie river Louisiana, by nine parishes nml many towns, rivers and lakes, perpetuates the religious tenets of its early fa thers. Kentucky and Tennessee evi dence the vocabulary of the hunter and trapper, Montana and Idaho that of the miner. All the region acquired from Mexico, particularly southern California, maintains in ils place names Ihe memory of its Spanish ex plorers and settlers. There are rela tively few Indian names on tiie Pa cific const, strange to say. North of tiie Spanish belt capes and towns fre quently retle'ct tiie loyalty of early set tlers to tiie older stales of Hie Union; for example, Portland, .Ore., which was named after Portland, .Maine, HTio story is that two settlers to whom the task of selecting a name for tiie Oregon settlement fejl were eastern ers, and that they tossed a coin fo de termine whether the town should be called Boston or Portland. . — Took Cardui And Im proved Greatly, Says Okla.
