AVOID HARSH DRUGS
Cathartics Tend to Cause
jury to the Bowels
In-
If you are subject to constipation
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics They only give temporary
relief and their reaction is harmful
and sometimes more annoying than
constipation They in no way effect a
cure and their tendency is to weaken
the already weak organs with which
they come in contact
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatmentt ever
devised Our faith in it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guar
antee that it shall not cost the user

TRAINING SEALS
Thes Dexterous Animals Easily
Taught to Perform Tricks
The cardinal principle in training
animals says an animal trainer is
not to attempt to make an animal do
anything contrary to the nature of its
particular species To be successful a
trainer must know enough about the
habits of the animals he has under
training to fit the tricks he would teach
them to their natural bent
The seal is very easily taught You
begin with one seal some small pieces
of fish and i string You let the seal
sit on his pedestal something lie likes
to do by nature thou you throw him
one of the pieces of fish and he natu
rally and easily catches it Next you
tie a piece of fish on the end of your
string and swing it toward the seal
He catches this too and you keep
moving away from him and swinging
the fish to him from an increasing dis
tance Now you are ready to begin
with the hat or cornucopia You put a
piece of fish in the bottom of It and
toss it to the seal The seal is dex
terous by nature and his nose quickly
detecting the fish in the tip of the
cone seeks it out The cone catches on
his snout and he bites out the fish and
tosses the cone aside Before long he
comes to associate the cone with fish
and he will catch an3 number of
liar ones and toss them aside when he

BIBLES IN THE WORLD
The Scandinavian Eddas the Most Re
cent of the Seven
The world has seven Bibles They
are the Koran of the Mohammedans
the Eddas of the Scandinavians the
Tripitaka of the Buddhists the Five
Kings of the Chinese the Three Vedas
of the Hindus the Zendavesta and
the Scriptures of the Christians
The Koran is not older than the sev
enth century of our era It is a com
pound of quotations from the Old and
New Testaments the Talmud and the
gospel of St Barnabas The Eddas of
the Scandinavians were published in
the eleventh century and are the most
recent of these seven Bibles The Bud
dhists Tripitaka contain sublime mor
als and pure inspirations Their au
thor lived and died In the seventh cen
tury before Christ
The sacred writings of the Chinese
are called the Five Kings king
meaning web of cloth or the warp that
keeps the threads in their places They
contain the choicest sayings of the
best ages on the ethicopolitical duties
of life These sayings cannot be traced
to a period higher than the eleventh
century B C The Three Vedas are
the most ancient books of the Hindus
and it is the opinion of great scholars
that they are older than the eleventh
century B C
The Zendavesta of the Persians is
the grandest of all the sacred books
next to the Bible Zoroaster whose
sayings it contains was born in the
twelfth centurv B C New York Her

History In Toys
The history of the world is crystal
lized in the childrens toys Each great
war leaves soldiers in the nursery cup
board dressed correctly to a strap and

each successive age in the worlds his
tory has gone by the weapons of that
age have passed to the hands of the
boys as tojs There are in our great
museums miniature crossbows spears

The Dollar
There was a time when dollars were
minted in England In March 1797
the mint issued stamped Spanish dol

in seven months later It was from
the Spanish coin that America got the
idea of her almighty dollar but the
name was made in Germany At least

sliver guldengroschen coined in 1518
by order of Count Schlick from the sil
ver of Joachimsthal in Bohemia and
known at first as the Joachimsthaler

RIDING THE BUZZARD
The Ricebird Uses His Bulky Enemy
as an Aeroplane
People generally associate size and
brute strength with victory especially
among the lower animals Many times
however this is far from being the
case especially in the bird kingdom
Among the rice flats of the Carolinas
there abound at some seasons of the
year tiny riceblrds birds so small that
it takes two dozen for a good meal
though bones and all are eaten
The great buzzard is found circling
over the flats at all seasons He dreads
the time for the ricebird to come for
he is then nearly pestered to death It
is a common sight to see one of these
little birds fly up to a buzzard and
after dodging this way and that round
the awkward bulk finally alight well
forward between the buzzards wings
on the back Here the tiny passenger
grabs a few feathers in his beak and
holds on for grim life After enjoying
a ride for as long as he desires the
little fellow hops off and is gone before
Mr Buzzard is well aware of it
The peculiar part of the whole thing
Is that apparently the only purpose the
ricebird has In getting on the baee of
the buzzard is to take a free ride It
puzzles every one who chances to see
the little drama to find any other rea
son yet the fact remains that It Is a
frequent occurrence and the little
birds seem to enjoy it immensely

INDIAN DEATH CUSTOMS
Graves of the Hopi and the Hogans of
the Navajos
The Hopi Indian believes that the
souls of all deceased adults go to the
Grand canyon When a man dies a
grave is dug The nearest relative of
the deceased carries the body to the
grave places It In a sitting posture
facing the Grand canyon erects a long
pole between the legs locks the dead
mans fingers around it and fills the
grave To the top of the pole pro
truding above the ground he ties one
end of a string and leads the other
end in the direction of the Grand can
yon At the end of four days it is
believed the soul leaves the body
climbs the pole and with the string to
guide it goes to its eternal home in the
canyon
The Navajos on the contrary are
very superstitious about handling dead
bodies They believe that the evil
spirit that kills the person hovers
around the hogan as they call their
lodge awaiting other victims and a
hogan in which a death occurs is never
occupied again Navajo hogans are
always built with the entrance facing
the east When a death occurs in one
of them an opening Is invariably made
in the north side Therefore when one
sees a hogan with the north side
knocked out he may be certain somo
one has died in it Dillon Wallace in

Antiquity of the Dog
It is impossible to say when dogs
were first domesticated but some of
the earliest traces are found on Egyp
tian monuments with figures of dogs
somewhat of the greyhound type
which date back to at least 3500 B C
Even in those remote days the dog
was highly esteemed Coming down
a little later we read that Ulysses
3000 years ago was recognized by his
dog Argus after bis swineherd had
failed to do so
Plutarch speaks of Alcibades who
cut off the tail of his dog and Myron
the sculptor immortalized the animal
by chiseling his image in marble The
Romans valued their dogs and kept
them from the chase and also as pets
Alexander the Great owned a veteran
fit to tackle a Hon
A Bibulous Goose
Geese will live to a great age and
some few years ago I came across a
very venerable goose male or female
I cannot now say in Westmoreland in
unexpected circumstances I was walk
ing from Milnthorpe to Arnside and at
Ganaside found an acquaintance sit
ting on a seashore bench feeding a pet
goose with biscuits steeped in ale He
told me that this goose had been in his
family for over forty years and was
partial to beer stout and even gin
Rev James Hall M A told of a
goose in Stirlingshire Scotland that
had been killed by accident after liv
ing at the same place for above eighty
years London Field
Skating on a Tennis Court
When one is building a tennis court
provision may easily be made for a
rink by excavating from six inches
to one foot deeper than the surround
ing ground and making this depress
ed area as much greater than his
court as his purse or surroundings will
permit Twenty five feet in the clear
outside the lines of the court will give
an area of over li000 square feet an
ample space for a number of people to
occupy without crowding The court
may be flooded by means of a hose at
