THE PERFECT CURE
On learning that a famous Doe v
Deplores the use of pills
And says that people need a shock.
To cure them of their ills
We visited our grandad'i bed,
Where he lay weak and sick,
And tapped him smartly on the head
With half a paving brick.
The old man didn't mend at firt,
His eyes grew glazed and dim.
Inclined we were to fear the wor.'t
As we regarded him.
And, thinking he'd perhaps received
An insufficient .hock,
Although our heart was sorely grieved
Once more we tapped his block.
This time it worked; he nimbly rose
With hoarse and angry cries,
He smote us roughly on the nose,
He blackened both our eyes.
And when we saw the light at length
Our grandad, fully dressed,
And quite restored to health and strength,
Was kneeling on our chest.
The doctors method is all right;
It worked a perfect cure;
Our grandad's eyes are clear and bright,
His step is firm and sure.
We trust he'll keep on feeling fine,
For we are bruised and sore
And absolutely we decline . j t
. To cure him any more. , ' ;

PERILOUS PROSPECT.
There won't be anybody left to act as prohibition agent in New York.
There are only about 6,000,000 people in the place.
REAL LOYALTY.
A true foot ball hero is one who regrets that he only has some three
hundred odd bones to break for his alma mater.

, CHAPTER II.
A Fine Family.
Henrietta Hen's neighbors paid
little attention to her boasting, be
cause they had to listen to it so often.
At last, however, there came a day
when she set up such cackling as
they had never heard from her be
fore. She kept calling out at the top
of her lungs, "Come-come-comel
Henrietta, Hen said that it was hop
first brood..
See-what-I've-gotI Come- come -
cornel See-wbat-I've-gbtl" And she
acted even more important' than ever,
until her friends began to say to one
another, "What can Henrietta be
so proud about? If it's only another
egg, she's making a terrible fuss
about it." -
They decided at last that if they
were to have any peace they'd better
go and look at whatever it was that
Henrietta Hen was squawking about.
So they' went in a body to the
place where she had her nest, in the
haymow.
When Henrietta caught sight of
her visitors she set up a greater
clamor than ever.
"Well, well!" cried the oldest of
the party, a rather sharp-tongued
dame with white feathers. "What's
all this hubbub about?" And then
they learned what it was that Henri
etta wanted them to see.
"Did you ever set eyes on such a
fine family?" she demanded as she
stepped aside from her nest .and 'let
them peer into it.
A brood of chicks eh? said the
lady in white. "Well, what's all the
noise about?"
Henrietta Hen turned her back on
her questioner. '
I knew you d all want to have a
look at these prize youngsters," she
said to the rest of the company.
You'll agree with me, of course,
that there were never any other
chicks as handsome as these.".
Henrietta's neighbors all crowded
up to gaze upon the soft balls of
down. .
"This is the first family you've
hatched, isn't it?" Polly Plymouth
Rock inquired.
Henrietta Hen said that it was her
first brood.
Her neighbors wanted to be pleas
ant. So they told her that her chil
dren were as fine youngsters as any
body could ask for. And the old
white dame, souinting at the nest
lings, said to Henrietta:
They re the finest youve ever
had. . . . But there's one of them
that has a queer look." v
All the other visitors tried to
hush her up. They didn't want to
hurt Henrietta Hen's feelings. It
was her first brood of chicks; and
they could forgive her for thinking
them the best in the whole world.
So. when they saw that old Whitey
intended to be disagreeable they be
gan to cluck their approval of the

youngsters, hoping that Henrietta
wouldn't notice what Whitey said.
Nor did she. Henrietta Hen was
altogether too pleased with herself
and her new family to pay much at
tention to anybody else's remarks.
"I hope," said Henrietta, "that
you'll come to see my family often.
As the youngsters grow, I'm sure
they'll get handsomer every day."
The' neighbors thanked her. And
crowding about old Whitey they
moved away. Old Whitey just had
to go too. She couldn't help splut
tering a little.
"What a vain, empty-headed crea
ture Henrietta Hen is 1" she ex
claimed. "She doesn't know that
one of her brood is nothing but a
duckling t" - -

la "Marmalade" So Called.
It was early in the 15th century
that Frehch epicures began to take
notice of a new and particularly de
licious sweetmeat that was being
imported from Spain. It appeared
to be a kind of thick jam, well fla
vored and with a body which gave it
distinctly more of a taste than the
rather flat preserves which were
then in voeue. Inquiring into the
source of this delicacy, the Parisians
found that it came from Portugal,
where the natives had discovered
the knack of treating quinces in
such a manner that they made a
paste or preserve of exceptional
quality and appetizing flavor. Be
cause of the fact that the Portuguese
word for quince-is "marmelo," the
name "marmalade" was applied to
this preserve which, upon being in
troduced into England, became ex
tremely popular.
During the Nineteenth century the
fcngush became very proficient in
the making of orange marmalade
and practically captured the world
trade in this commodity until Amer
ican genius added a new tang and
flavor at an even lower price. The
fact that oranges were almost uni
versally used for the manufacture
of this product obscured the original
derivation of the word and, today,
marmalade is generally understood
to mean a thick jam made from
oranges, while, as a matter of fact,
it should be applied only to that
which is made from quinces. Ef en
"orange marmalade" is a misnofner,
for a literal translation of the term
would be "orange quince-preserve."

Of Superstitions
By H. L KING.
Standing by tht Table.
In rural New Fnuland people trat
rd at a table, eating, object to hav
ing another prr.on pau.e and stand
beide the board even should be only
pau.e Ait a arrond to av come nec
rarv word. A a rule it i a ttran
grr with w hnmthi action i deemed
rpeciatly objectionable. The writer
diarovrred this hv inakinu the afore
said "break." On inquiring aub.e
qurntlv at to the wherefore of the
objection some people taid that it
"wa very bad mannert:" othert
that "it brought bad lurk," and till
othert could only av that it "wa
one of the thine that wan't done."
The idea seemed uriiriinly wide
tprcaU among a certain clast of pro
pie, a general fcclinu that, for some
unknown rratnn, udi an act should
be always avoided.
It was evidently a real superstition
which wat thus stumbled upon. It
origin it obvious. It is a survival
of the idea of primitive man with re
gard to shadow, an idea which it
found today exi.ting in full force
among savage and backward races
and can be traced in many popular
superstition among civilized peoples.
At has been stated in previous ar
ticle of tin seric our primitive
inrMlnrt rrcnrrlfd a man's shadow
a a vital part of himself a sort of
"astral body," an "exter.or soul. 10
have a person's shadow fall upon
one was a sort of projection of the
shadower's personality upon the
shadowed. This projection was, as
a rule, considered to be malevolent in
itt effect. A person pausing by a
tabic at which people arc eating is
liable to cast his shadovv over both
food and eaters which is bad, es
pecially if he is a stranger for with
the ancients, strangers and enemies
were svnonymout terms. Hence the
superstition mentioned above, one
of those survivals which have out
lasted, for long centuries, all knowl
edge of their origin and meaning by
the people who still cherish them.
