It is with pleasure that I give

A Very Busy Man.
A school Inspector went to investi
gate the case of a man who, although
he could well afford to keep his chil
dren at school, had obtained labor
certificates for them all and was tak
ing frequent holidays while the poor
little fellows worked to keep the home
on.
To Ills wife's plea that the young
sters’ wages were useful when “fey
ther” was out of work the inspector
replied:
“A mere* quibble, ma'am. Your hus
band has constant work, but is too
lazy to do it. llis employer told me
so.”
“Then it’s a wicked story, and I'm
not particular who hears me say it!”
cried the woman indignantly. “My
husban’ is the busiest man in England,
bar none. Why, he was up at day
break this mornln’ teacliin’ my youn
gest lad to swim, an’ he’s walked ten
miles across plowed fields to fly a pi
geon an’ won a bounce ball contest an'
a boxin’ match since dinner, an’ now.
to wind things up,” she added as a
final proof of her husband’s amazing
industry, “he’s down in the wood yon
der trainin’ his dog to catch an’ kill
rabbits without leavin’ the marks of
his teeth on ’em. If you want more
work than that crowded into a day,
you must be a regular nigger driver.”—
London Tit-Bits.
When Buttons Were TJipr.
Bachaumont writes in his “Secret
Memoirs,” Nov. 18, 1780: “The mania
for buttons is today extremely ridicu
lous. They are not only of enormous
size, some of them as big as six pound
crowns, but miniatures and pictures
are made upon them, and tills orna
mentation is extremely costly. Some
of them represent the medals of the
twelve Caesars, others antique statues
and still others the Metamorphoses of
Ovid.”
Isabey. in his biographical notes,
says that when lie came to Paris he
worked for a living by making copies
of Vanloos and Bouchers on the iids of
snuffboxes and that for these medal
lions he was paid from G to 8 francs
each. “As it was still the fashion,” he
said, “to wear buttons as big as a five
franc piece, upon which Cupids, flow
ers and landscapes were cut in cameo,
I went into that business. I got 12
sous for each.”—Paris Figaro.
Why Some Countries Are I ninlinliited
A mere glance at our maps impresses
a few general facts upon us. We see
that the largest areas of the unknown
are now in lauds that are too dry, as in
the Sahara, the desert of Arabia, and
the steppes of Mongolia; lands that are
too wet and hot, stimulating almost im
penetrable forest growths, as in parts
of the Amazon and Kongo basins:
lauds that are too cold and bleak, as
portions of the northern areas of Amer
ica and Asia. Even the characteristics
of the inhabitants influence the extent
of the unexplored. In proportion to to
tal area there is more unknown surface
in Liberia than in any other political
subdivision of the world, because the
Liberians, content to live along the
coast, have scarcely entered their vast
forest maze, though they teem with
rubber and other resources.—Cyrus C.
Adams in Harper’s.
What Hc<l Coral Is.
The red coral that is used for neck
laces js a horny axis which supports a
number of soft bodied, coral-like ani
mals, or polyps, the entire structure
bearing a strong resemblance to a
small shrub. The fishermen, after they
have brought this shrublike cblony. to
the surface, clean the soft animal mat
ter away, preserving the red core, or
axis, which is sold as jewelry. Al
though red coral contains some line, it
is largely composed of a substance
akin to horn, and, like horn, it Likes a
fine polish. Horn, wool and other ani
mal substances of this nature almost
invariably change their color when
brought into intense heat.—St. Nich
olas.
Her Spouse lake.
A young bride, after serving to her
husband a Sunday dinner that was so
so, said as the mince pie was brought
on. “I intended, dear, to have some
sponge cake, too, but it has been a
total failure.” “How was that?” the
husband asked in a disappointed tone,
for he was fond of sponge cake. "The
Cruggist.” she explained, “sent me the
wrong kind of sponges.”
Plenty of Advice.
“I wonder what the secret of Solo
mon’s wisdom was?” said Mr. Meek
ton’s wife.
“Good advice." replied Leonidas
promptly. “He had any number of
wives.”—Washington Star.

The Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths.
There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking iir. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
niglit. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil
