Odd Trinkets Sealed in Statue of Buddha Use of Cardui Helped to Relieve Suffering. “I have taken Cardui arid have found It a very helpful medicine,” says Mrs. Minnie Rocher, of Lynn Haven, Fla. “After a course of Cardui, I felt like I had been made over. “For a while I suffered with bad pains in my back and sides. At times, these would distress me so I would seem past going. “We had known of Car dui in our family for a long time, so I thought I would try taking it. I soon began to improve. I grew strong and well, and was able to resume my house hold duties without the least inconvenience.” Cardui is a mild, harm less extract of valuable medicinal herbs. Try it.

At Oopiapo half the town wfis totally destroyed. Hundreds were killed, 85,000 people efi homeless. Eighteen hours before Ids disasler eats nt Copinpo became trangely uneasy. They wandered about, nn-wing pitifully, many of then) ran out of their homes and some were seen to go up the hill above (lie town. Undoubtedly thoy had some sort of warning of what was going to happen. Thomas Beddoes, an alert’ physician of 325 years ago iti England, rioticed there was Something peculiar nbout the breath of a' cow and decided that it must he a good medicine for human beings. For some time he adminis tered this remedy in large doses by tying up a cow and standing the suf ferer in front of her to inhale the cow’s exhaltations through a large funnel. No' great cures were record ed hut the unique treatment recalls (lie Baltimore physician’s patient, who, according to a tale of pre-Civil war days, became discouraged with the lit tle progress being made in banishing his tuberculosis and asked the doctor for permission to try a treatment he had thought of. The physician, believing the case hopeless, told ids patient to go ahead if the method required no great exer tion and was much surprised when, six months later, (lie man came back the very picture of health. Asked what lie had done, the patient said that eacli morning lie had risen and with nothing hut a bathrobe around him had run a mile to an Ice-cold spring, leaped in and stood there Im mersed to his neck for 15 minutes. TJie story, a writer in the Detroit News comments, has few believers in medical circles. ASK NIIOSE WE SELL FOR. Gradation of Heavens To be in the seventh heaven means to he supremely happy. According to Mohammed, there are seven heavens. The seventh, says the Koran, is formed of divine light beyond the power of description. Each inhabitant is bigger than the entire earth, and has 70,000 heads, each head 70,000 mouths, each mouth 70,000 tongues, and each tongue speaks 70,000 lan guages, and all of them are continu ally engaged in chanting the praises of the Most High. It was in the sev enth heaven (hat Mohammed met Abraham. The Cabalists also believe in seven heavens, eacli rising in hap piness above the other, the seventh being the abode of God and fhe high est class of angels. Animals Gifted With Instinct Denied Man? Animals seem to lie gifted with pro phetic instinct, and have foreknowl edge of impending disaster. An hour before the Thames flood, says an article in Pearson’s Weekly, which did such dreadful damage In London, mice were noticed running up a curtain on the ground floor of n house in Westminster. Some have at tempted to explain this by saying that water was already penetrating the mouse holes In the basement, but that is not likely, for it will he remem bered that tlie flood enme with one rush when the enbnnkment wall gave way. Besides, there are other eases of premonition—as it is called—on the part of animals, which cannot be ex plained nway. One day in August, 1022, an army of squirrels, numbering several hundred, was seen traveling through the trees in the Fox hills near Aldershot. They crossed a rond' and took up their quarters in' a wood half a mile beyond. Two days later a fire broke out a mile away from the wood which the squirrels had vacated, and reach ing that wood it burned it out com pletely, but stopped on reaching the road which the squirrels so short a time previously had crossed.- Delicacy That Wasn’t to Elephant’s Liking I remember years ago we had an elephant which became a positive nuisance for stealing people's hags and parcels, says William Blore, in a London paper. This particular elephant was much worse Ilian the average. There was no stopping him. If lie saw a hand bag or a paper parcel anywhere near ids walk he had it ! One day there was an old gentle man standing by the side of the hoard walk with several children. Under Ids arm lie carried a brown paper ling. The elephant was nearly level with him when he noticed llie bag, nnd before you could say "knife” there was a startled er.v from the old gen tleman—t lie elephant had Hie ling. IBs keeper gave him a shout and a sharp tap on tlie head, but it was no use, ilie elephant was not lotting go. nnd in a moment had the ling in ids mouth | Only for a second. In n moment there was n shrill trumpeting of indig nation and horror, nnd out came a crushed-looking hag with something green protruding. The old gentleman Dad boon carrying home n fine speci men of South American cactus with prickles about two inches long! Weighty “Volumes” in Library of Long Ago Habit Bertha, age ten, had been tnught mi habits were things to bo watched hi Hint a bad habit, once acquired is very hard to get rid of. observing a couple passing her in* in n car, enjoying their petting n drive at the same lime, Bertha re linked: “That boy and girl better lie ireful or Hint is apt to become a tiahit, isn’t it, mollier?” . Mother agreed that she was right. All Menace Akin This is the most important lesson that a man enn learn—Hint nil men are really nllke; that all creeds and opinions are nothing but the mere re sult of a chance and temperament; nnd that no party is, on the whole, better than another; that no creed does more than shadow Imperfectly forth some one side of the truth; and it is only when you begin to see this that you can foel that pity for man kind, that sympathy with ils disap pointments nnd follies and its natural human hopes, which have such a little time of growth, and a sure season ot decay.—J. II. Short house. The sight, in ancient libraries, of hooks whose wooden bindings are chained to the desk does not imply Hint books were so hard to come by, even in medieval times. Lending libraries, available at least for students, existed in many monas teries, and the chained volumes were, many of them, reference books, which have a certain tendency to go astray. Perhaps the real pioneer of public libraries was Sardanapalus, the Assy rian, who, six and a half centuries be fore the Christian .era, collected at Nineveh 10,000 works, written in cuneiform on tablets of clay, for all to read. The man to whom, however, wo more directly owe the library which i every self-respecting town maintains Is William Ewart, who, among his other reforms, succeeded in abolishing the death penalty for cattle stealing nnd the punishment of hnngiug hi chains. Modern Dress Admits Imitation in Plenty What Became 6f That? Elizabeth was a spoiled girl, nnd when she married I lie celebrated city cotton magnate all Iter friends de cided thut it was just ri means of satisfying her extravagance. They had not been married very long before the husband found that Elizabeth was spending a great deal more money*than lie allowed her. “Do you know, Betty," he said one day, "your dressmakers’ hills eat up nearly three-quarters of my income?” “Really? Do they ?’* replied his extravagant wife. “And what do you do with the rest of your money, Monty?” Choice of Two Evils Gossip' had it that Gagge was crazy on amateur theatricals, but such was not the Case, nnd _Gngge tried hard to deny the rumor. “But,” said n friend In the club, “you are always In these amateur plays. You’ve played all sorts of parts In the last six months. If you don’t like it, what do you do it all for?" Another man spoke. “Yes," he agreed. “IIow fs it that you never seem to he tired of appear ing in every private theatrical per formance?” “I do got tired of It,” protested Gagge. “As n matter of fact, I'm sick of the whole tiling; but if I’m not on the stage 1 shall have to sit in the audience.” Our grandmothers were sticklers for the “real thing,” and the only sham openly permitted in their well-ordered homes was a pillow sham, says the London Daily Mail. Real lace, real linen, real gems—"imitation jewelry, my dear, is only worn by servants"— rial silver, the same hard worked ad- j..ctives were applied to all their most prized possessions. And one of the signs of a real lady was Hint she wore nothing sham; and if she could not afford real lace for her petticoat, she trimmed It with tat ting; if she did not own a real gold bracelet, then site put up with silver, hut never silver-gilt. Imitations were considered vulgar, the hnll-mnrk of persons lacking in taste and breeding. But her granddaughter dresses In artificial silk and sparkles with linitu lion Jewels; the fur on her coat is a sham, so is Hie fashionable leather of her handling, and t he tortoiseshell of her umbrella handle; she will partake without flinching of coffee that comes out of n hot tie.

W. B. TOWNSEND, Editor and Pro Some Good Bargains Made by Adventurers Probably fho world’s best bargain was made by Peter Minuit, n Dutch man, who bought the whole of Man hattan Island from the Indians in U52(! for goods worth .«24. Almost ns good wns that of Simon Van Dcr Stoll, onc-tlmo governor of Capetown, who bought Jie hay of Port Natal for £50 worth of goods. The East India company made a gi gantic bargain In the yonr 1608. Charles II had just been given Hie island oi Bombay us a dowry nt his marriage with Infanta Catherine of Portugal. The king thought Hie place worthless—ns the Portugese had done —am] allowed thr? company to rent it for £10 a year. In 1041 an agent of Lord Stirling's sold tho whole of Nan tucket Inland to Thomas Mnyliew for £40; eighteen years later Mnyliew sold a joint Interest to nine partners for £30 and two heaver hats I The Island Is now a separate county of Massachusetts. A worth-while sale was effected by Roger Ludlow, a year before Mnyliew bought Nantucket. Ludlow gnve the Indians six fathoms of wampum, 0 coats, TO hatchets, 10 hoes, 10 knives, 10 pairs of scissors, 10 Jew’s harps, TO fathoms of tobacco, 8 kettles, and about 10 looking glasses for all Hie land between the Norwalk nnd (lie Snugntuek river In Connecticut, ex tending one day’s walk from the sound. Anti Ollier Common Troubles Helpcdl by Black-Draught. Use of Superlatives Mars Modern Speech A tornado may he awful, nn earth quake terrible, nnd a sunset splendid, hut those words are used every day to describe the most ordinary tilings. A had shot In tennis Is “awful,” a dis appointing meal at a restaurant is “terrible,” nnd a cocktail is splendid! Nobody today is just tired. It is “dead boat,” “knocked out,” “absolutely tint,” "done for,” "unable to wink nn eyelid.” This Is the language of ex aggeration. ■ The word “so” is “fearfully” over worked today. Nothing Is merely “beautiful," or "pleasant,” or "charm ing”—another overworked word. They must all he “so beautiful,” “so pleas ant.” Recently the word "quite” was the most overworked word in the lan guage. A man listening to and ap proving (lie course of n friend’s argu ment would ejnculnte "Quito!” after every half-dozen words. Why the word “quite” should stand for "I agree with you,” or why it should bo necessary to say it fifty times in ten minutes, no one knew. But there it was—and indeed, still is. "I think we owe the re markable healthy record of our family to the use of Black-Draught,” says Mrs. J. H. Luther, 514 W. Bel knap St„ Ft. Worth, Tex. “I was suffering from an attack of indigestion. Somebody recommended Black-Draught to me, and I got some and tried It. I felt so much better, af ter I had taken it, that I used it the next time I was sick, and then the next. I soon found it to be a dependable medicine to use for my family.

Lighthouse Centuries Old At Hie most northerly point of Jut land, where the North sea and the Kattegat meet, is an ancient light house. Tlie waters there have a bad reputation among seafaring men, but Hie men who have manned the beacon have just the opposite, most of them having been heroes of a high order. Many centuries ago, says tradition, this lighthouse wns built by a peasant, Thorkel Sknrpn, and Ids shepherd clan. A fishing village in time grew up around tlie beacon and King Erik of Pommern, as he was called, though king of Denmark, granted ft n town charter in 1433.
