ANIMALS AND DEATH.
The Difference Between Wild Beaste
and Domestic Species.
Ajiimals realize intuitively when
death is near. Most animals, ex
cepting pet animals, who arc a--ured
of what one might call a Christian
burial in the back yard, have prompt
) extinction and no flowers to look
! forward to, for haven’t they often
come across the bones of their once
loved male- slowly whitening under
I the blue of heaven?
I Savage beasts actually “prepare”
for death with a fine composure un
shadowed by any possibility of sub
sequent “will contests.” So called
domestic animals, while not showing
the fear characteristic of their mas
ters, become strangely clinging and
dependent and seem to dread sep
aration from the human beings to
whom they arc attached.
It is natural for most wild ani
mals to die in combat with an ene
my, and while the combat lasts
there is hope of escape.
When a number of elephants are
-hipped a strong structure is erected
on deck, and there they are stabled,
chained by the feet. In tin emergen
cy they could easily walk away with
their chains and the deck flooring,
throwing the stable aside if it offer
ed any impediment to their progress,
as was shown in the case of the sink
ing of the ship Agra some years
since. The Agra was swinging at
anchor off Ceylon preparatory to
her journey to America when she
sprung a leak and quickly sank. The
elephants set up a call, but there
was no despair in the noise that fol
lowed. It was the businesslike
sound of crashing timber, and be
fore the Agra had reached bottom a
herd of elephants were swimming
to Ceylon.
M. Jules Gerard, a great French
student of animals, tells of a lion
which, having fallen into a great
ditch that had been dug for him, re-
I'.'iied himself after several inef
fectual efforts to escape. He heard
the cries of delight of the men who
aw him trapped. He understood
that he was lost—that he was about
to die an ignominious and defense
less death.
But it was his way to receive the
injuries that were to come to him
without, sound of protest. After
taking n dozen bullets without mov
ing ho lifted his fine head with a
majestic movement to cast: ti look of
scorn on the Arabs who were aim
ing at. him their final shots. Then
he lay down resigned to death.
A Metaphor.
When a traveler has once found
out that he has taken the right
train and is aware that the bringing
of him to his destination can in no
way bo helped by himself he is wise
to extract all the pleasure possible
from the few hours of idleness that
lie must pass. It seems to me that
the secret of good reading may be
suggested by a comparison with the
traveler on the railroad, lie should
be at the same time doing two
things—advancing steadily toward
his destination and findingall possi
ble enjoyment on the way. Young
readers should have in mind some
object or purpose in their reading
and studies, but while they are
steadily advancing toward this they
should remember that there are
times and seasons which may be de
voted to recreation and amusement
of the mind. Os course the compari
son is not exact, but there never
was a fable capable of more than
suggesting a moral.—St. Nicholas.
Had a Better Start.
It is difficult to get Daddy Nixon,
the village centenarian, to view life
with the seriousness which would
appear to be natural to a man of his
age. But a really earnest man never
despairs, and Mr. Sleeker is a real
ly earnest man. He pays a visit to
daddy every Christmas morning,
and just as he was concluding his
call on the last occasion he took the
opportunity to make another at
tempt.
"Now. daddy,” he comineneed,
"probably you will not live to see
another hundred years"
"Well, mon,” interrupted the old
fellow testily, "we dinna ken the fu
ture. but one thing 1 kin--1 lute be
gun my second hoonderd years
muckle stronger and heartier than
J did y first.”
And Mr. Sleeker had to admit
that it was even so.—-Exchange.
Birthday Heroism.
It is recorded of a little boy that
he allowed his mother's birthday to
dawn without having anything to
give tier. This wa< to him a terrible
state of things and seemed to call
fur a desperate remedy, lie began
by o.T ring her, one alter another,
every toy he owned, but she was too
good t :itured to take them. At last,
after carefully considering the
whole matter, he said with a degree
of earnest ties s which showed, how
much he felt the sacrifice he was
about to propose: "1 know what I’ll
do. 11 take a dose of castor oil for
you!” The resources of heroism,
-o far a- he was concerned, wer®

NERVOUS PEOPLE
Something You Ought to Know
“No nerves and never irritable.”
That is what a member of the Arring
ton Drug Co. says people report after
taking Vinol: “It is remarkable,”
said a member of the above firm to the
editor of The News, how many people
buy sedatives and all sorts of opiates
to quiet and (leaden ttie nerves when
they are weakening their entire nerv
ous system by doing so.
“Nerve tr übles are easily cured,”
continued be. “It is simply a case of
treating the general weakness, not the
nerves alone, ami that is just what
Vinol does in the most direct and sim
ple manner possible. It cures nerve
trouble because it builds one up, and
makes one strong all over. It invigor
ates the entire nervous system, and
makes new blood and vitality.
“Vinol contains no drugs, and you
know what you are taking—simply the
medicinal curatives found in cod liver
oil with a litile organic iron added. It
is fast superseding old forms of cod
fiver oil and emulsions because it is
so delicious to the taste and has such
marvelous vitalizing power.”
It for this reason that we say to ev
ery nervous, run down and debilitated
person in Summerville try Vinol, and
if it does not cure you come 'back and
get your money. The Arrington Drug

Luxury In Bottles.
One of the many little signs of
the growing luxury of the times is
to be seen in the drug stores now
adays where there is kept in stock
a supply of bottles for the ordinary
run of household remedies with cut
glass stoppers and the names of the
drugs either ground on the glass or
having a regular druggist’s label of
gilt on a white ground. These bot
tles are fairly expensive, for ones of
pint size cost about a dollar, and
from that figure they run down to
50 cent'-. It is another sign of the
limes that one of the regular labels
kept in stock on these bottles is
"peroxide.”-- New York Press.

HARVEST OF THE SEA.
A Peculiar Occupation Followed Off the
Coast of Ireland.
Along the northwest coast of Ire
land, on the borders of the Atlantic,
dwells a hardy race of men whose
chief occupation, when not en
gaged in fishing, consists in the
manufacture of kelp.
This kelp is of treat commercial
importance, as frtfei it is obtained
nearly all our iodine, a body of vast
use in medicine.
During the winter months the
kelp burners set out in their frail
little “curraghs” (small canoe-like
boats about twelve feet long, made
of canvas), and, proceeding along
the coast, fill the boats with sea
weed, from which the kelp is made.
In this they are assisted by the wo
men, who, bareheaded and shoeless,
take their turn regularly at the oars
and are almost as expert at it as the
men.
After a storm is the time selected
for obtaining the seaweed, as by
the force of the waves it has been
torn from its bed and is cast in
along the shore in large quantities.
When the boats are laden the sea
weed is brought to a small creek and
there placed in heaps out of reach
of the tide. From this it is carried
in creels on the backs of men and
women to a point farther inland,
where it has to undergo a process of
drying.
The drying consists in exposing it
to the sun and wind, and the better
to do this they have rows of loose
stones laid about twenty yards in
length and a few feet in height.
Along the tops of these they scat
ter the seaweed.
The drying takes months, so that
spring is well advanced ere it is
ready for burning. This does not
matter, however, as, owing to the
fuel—the peat, or turf, got from
the bogs at hand—not being yet cut
and dried (or “win,” as it is term
ed), it is summer before the burn
ing in the kilns can commence.
The kiln is a deep trench dug in
the ground. Alternate layers of turf
and seaweed are laid in this till full,
and the whole is kept burning for
about three weeks, until it cakes to
gether in a large black mass resem
bling coke, but much more solid
and heavier. This is the kelp.
It is then broken into blocks
about fourteen inches square and
brought by boat to the villages,
where it is sold, to be shipped to
more profitable markets. London
Standard.
Refined Torture.
The wife of a well known official
•in Washington holds some novel
ideas with reference to the punish
ment of refractory children. Phys
ical chastisement is most repugnant
to this lady’s mind, but she has
evolved a unique system that has
proved most successful. On one oc
casion a friend was visiting her
when one of the boys had surrepti
tiously appropriated an orange be
longing to his younger brother. The
misdemeanor was discovered before
the culprit had disposed of his spoil.
So the two youngsters were sum
moned to the judgment seat.
“James,” was the stern command
of the mother, “take this seat, and
you, Thomas, that one. Now, Thom
as, give James the orange you have
stolen from him.”
When the lads had done as they
were ordered the mother added:
“James, 1 want you to take as
long as possible to eat that orange.
You, Thomas, are to sit there and
watch him eat it. Under no cir
cumstances are you to leave the
room.”—Harper’s Weekly.
Embarrassing.
A funny story is going the rounds
in which the chief actors were one
of the judges of the high court and
a well known barrister. During the
hearing of a case the judge left his
seat to look for a law book and for
a few minutes was hidden by the
screen. Just as he disappeared
from view the barrister hurried into
court and, seeing the vacant chair,
remarked in a loud tone, with char
acteristic testiness:
"What I Is the old fool gone to
luncheon ?”
To his chagrin the judge popped
his head around the screen and,
with a smile that was childlike and
bland, replied:
"No—he has not gone yet.”—

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Sense of Justice Displayed by a Gov
ernor’s Grandson.
The small grandson of Governor
Cummins of lowa, a handsome and
precocious child, has displayed an
early and inherent conception of .
justice, which is illustrated by the !
following incident:
The boy is not permitted to eat
doughnuts, but when visiting in the
kitchen of a neighboring relative
the cook presented him with one of
these delicacies and he proceeded to
eat it with perfect enjoyment.
No suspicion of his indulgence
reached the ears of his family, and
all would have gone well had not an
overpowering sense of his obliga
tions mastered the culprit. Curious
investigations were the natural out
come when he said his usual prayer
that night and then hesitatingly
added this brief but incriminating
petition:

ra’s hired girl.”—Lippincott’s Mag

The Secret of Long Life.
Sir James Sawyer, a noted
physician of Birmingham, Eng
land, has been talking recently
to an audience in that town on
longevity. Its secret, he thinks,
lies in keeping the nineteen com
mandments following:
Eight hours’ sleep.
Sleep on your right side.
Keep your bedroom window
open all night.
Have a mat at your bedroom
door.
Do not have your bedstead
against the wall.
No cold bath in the morning,
but a bath at the temperature of
the body. Exercise before break
fast.
Eat little meat, and see that it
is well cooked.
For adults: Drink no milk.
Eat plenty of fat, to feed the
cells which destroy disease
germs.
Avoid intoxicants, which de
stroy those cells.
Daily exercise in the open air.
Allow no pet animals in your
living rooms; they are likely to
carry about disease germs.
Live in the country if you can.
Watch the three D’s: drinking
water, damp and drains.
Have change of occupation.
lake frequent and short holi

Limit your ambition.
Keep your temper.

Debt-paying is a very import
ant thing and fixes the status of
a man in the community as no
other thing can. If you claim to
be a Christian and don’t pay your
debts, your Christianity is looked
upon as a pretense and a sham;
i f you claim to be honest and
don’t pay your debts, your hones
ty rests under the shadow of
doubt; if you promise to pay and
then make no efforts to keep
your promise, your veracity is
placed at a discount. Pay your
debts if you want the confidence
of the public: it’s capital that will
help you succeed, otherwise you
arehandicapped and left to flound
er and be retarded.
