r 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 ily Herald. 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.'’ Administrator’s Sale.

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.
