CONVERSE WITH THEIR TAILS
Student of Natural History Writes of
His Observations of Dogs and
Other Animals.
Any who have seen a pack of
wolves in t'ulJ cry must have noticed
the eager waving of ’their tails, evi
dently to enable the pack to keep to- 1
gether, and possibly for purposes of j
mutual encouragement. Fire a bullet j
into one of the leaders and see how i
quickly all the flags are drooped, and I
the creatures get out of the way, each ;
for himself. If you notice, the fox, j
who has a magnificent tail, does not j
raise it aloft at all. He is a solitary j
hunter and uses his brush chiefly for j
a muffler, to keep his feet and nose j
warm. But your dog does a good |
deal of his talking with his tail. You j
can follow his very thoughts—dogs do
think, you know! —by watching his
tail. Just as I have carried on long
and useful conversations with occa
sional Indians of strange tongues by
observing the movements of face,
shoulders and hands. I have an idea
that animals were intended to cotn
municate with each other mainly by
using their tails. The vertebrae
through which the brain projects
much of its direction and knowledge
extends to the tip of the tail. The
tall Is, therefore, in direct and con
stant contact with the controlling
power of the animal. —Montreal Fam

VARYING FORMS OF CURRENCY
In Many Parts of the World the Use
of Gold and Silver Is Prac
tically Unknown.
In odd corners of the world many
queer tilings are used as money.
> In China you may find in circulation
lumps of gold or silver bearing marks
which show that they were first issued
hundreds of years ago. In shape they
are square oval or oblong, and they
weigh anything up to 1% pounds. The
Chinese also use small strips of brass
or copper, some of which are worth
less than n hundredth of a penny.
Some of the Mongol tribes pay their
bills with little cubes of compressed
• tea.
In Burma one finds the cowrie shell
used us money, while little porcelain
coins take the place of halfpence. The
inhabitants of some of the districts
bordering the Persian gulf do their
buying nnd selling with fishhooks of
various sizes.
Africa provides a weird assortment.
Beads, elephant tusks and spear heads
are all used as coins.
In Oceania flint axes are the most
common means of exchange, but we
find considerable use made of parrots'
feathers woven into ropes. The real
wild red Indian hardly exists now, but
in a few remote countries, such as
Alaska, he is still to be found using
his shell money.
From Quarry to Pulpit.
It was the unprepossessing appear
, ance of Dr. Joseph Parker, the famous
preacher, which led to him being nick
named Russian bear.”
An American visitor who heard him
said he looked more like the captain
of a pirate vessel than a minister of
the Gospel.”
Talking of Dr. Parker’s early days,
Mr. Albert Dawson of the City temple
said that the minister's parents were
so poor that he went to school shod in
a pair of clogs with iron round the
soles. Ultimately he went to work as
a mason.
One day, however, while hewing
stone in the quarrj, he exclaimed sud
denly: “Hammers and stones tire
poor men’s bones!” He threw down
his pick, went off, and never returned
to the quarry.
When he was twenty-three, he en
tered the ministry, and married Annie
Nesblt, “the soul I loved, the girl that
saved me and made me a man.”
Made Him Look Small.
A young and newly married couple
were entertaining their friends, and
among the guests was one whose con
tinued rudeness made him extremely
objectionable to the rest of the com
pany. His conduct, although most un
bearable, was put up with for some
time, until at supper he held up on
his fork a piece of meat which had
been served to him, and in a vein of
intended humor, he looked round and
remarked:
“Is this pig.”
This immediately drew forth the re
mark from a quiet-looking individual
sitting at the other end of the table:
“Which end of the fork do you re
fer to?”
Where the Fish Swarm.
There are rich fishing banks of huge
extent around Iceland, but the greatest
are around Newfoundland, and are so j
rich that fishing vessels congregate j
there from America and France, as j
well as Great Britain.
These banks are very interesting, for
they are shallows which overhang the j
abysmal depths which fall quite close
by to as much as 4,000 fathoms, or j
more than four miles sheer depth.
There are fine banks all along the
Greenland coast, and plenty of fish on
them. But here trawling is impossible,
for the icebergs have covered the bot
tom with enormous boulders.
Perquisites.
“There are very few perquisites now
adays."
“I’m glad of it,” replied Senator Sor
ghum. “Perquisites in the old days
were regarded by too many penurious
people as an excuse for holding a pub
lic servant down to an inadequate -al
ary.'’

CARDUI HELPED
REGAIN STRENGTH
Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three
Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous
end Depressed—Read Her
Own Story of Recovery.
Paint Rock, Ala. —Mrs. C. M. Stegall,
Os near here, recently related the fol
lowing interesting account of her re
covery: “I was in a weakened con
dition. I was sick three years In bed.
: suffering a great deal of pain, weak,
I nervous, depressed. I was so weak,
! I couldn’t walk across the floor; just
had to lay and my tittle ones do the
work. I was almost dead. I tried
] every thing I heard of, and a number of
doctors. Still I didn’t get any relief.
; I couldn’t eat, and slept poorly. I
believe if I hadn’t heard of and taken
Cardui I would have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
“I began to eat and Bleep, began to
gain my strength and am now well
arid strong. I haven’t had any trou
ble since ... I sure can testify to the
good that Cardui did me. I don’t
think there is a better tonic made
and I believe it saved my life."
For over 40 years, thousands of wo
men have used Cardui successfully,
in the treatment of many womanly
ailments.
If you suffer as these women did,
take Cardui. It may help you, too.
