For Steadfast Peace.
God puts within our reach the pow
cr of helpfulness, the ministry of pity;
he Is ever ready to increase his grace
in our hearts, that as we live and act
among all the sorrows of the world
we may learn by slow degrees skill
and mystery of consolation. "If ye
know these things, happy aro ye if ye
do tliein." There Is no surer way of
steadfast peace in this world than the
active exercise of pity; no happier
temper of mind and work than tho
lowly watching to see if we can lessen
any misery that Is about us; nor is
there any bettor way of growth In
faith and love. Francis Paget.
IS CHILD GROSS,
Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated, give "California
Syrup of Figs."
Children love this "fruit laxative,"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result Is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat.
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has soro throat,
stomach-ache or dlanhoea. Listen,
Mother! See If tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of "California
Syrup of Figs," and In a few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the sys
tem, and you have a well child again.
Millions of mothers give "California
Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it nev
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Adv.
Prosperous Appearance.
"Some men live for their stomachs."
"That's true, but the man with an
unusually large nbdomen has a pros
perous look withal, and if he can drapo
a heavy watch chain across It the Illu
sion is complete."
His Status.
"Young Swift thinks he's a legal
light."
"Well, he Is a legal light weight."
And many a chap talks like a wise
man and acts like a fool.

"Why, I believe so, my son."
"But as a boy grows older doesn't a
boy's own father come to the front
and choose the gifts himself?"
"I shouldn't bo surprised If that
were the case."
"Well, I hope It is. 1 haven't said
much about It, but after thinking over
the presents I've been getting for two
or three Chrlstmases past I'd rather
cut out Santa Claus and tak". my
chances with you." Washington Star

SPRING FOODS.
H will be necessary for us soon to
think of the spring houseclcanlng sea
i son. which lirhiL-s In Its
A( wake many bodily Ills.
1JLL J The overfed body Is slug-
nature is re-
juvenntlng and we
need to throw off all heavj winter
conditions and prepare for the new
life of spring.
It Is best to gradually drop off from
the winter foods, ns too sudden a
jump may prove serious. Biliousness
and various kindred ills may be com
pictely routed by a careful diet ami
the free use of green vegetables.
Nature 'provides us In the early
spring with just tho food wo need. Let
tuce, cress, dandelion and spinach are
invaluable If wo expect to keep In
a good state of health.
The dandelion contnlns taraxneum.
the tonic which is In many doctors'
prescriptions. This acts directly on
tho liver, stimulating It to a henlthy
action,
. The liver is one of tho most Impor
tant orgnns in the body and must be
kept free to work its process of elimi
nation. When It Is clogged and slug
gish the whole body Is out of order.
Dandelions also add bulk to the
food, scraping up the digestive tract:
thus poisons which causo autointoxi
cation, constipation and rheumatism
are removed from tho body. The dl
gestlve tract needs flushing and often
a T.ioro heroic treatment, as we treat
drain pipes which become clogged.
Cowslips are another early spring
vegetable which does not need to be
shipped in, and then later we grow
our own spinach and pepper grass in
the vegetable garden, which should be
a part of every small or largo garden.
How much pleasanter it is to eat a
nico crisp plate of lettuce than to take
nasty-tasting pills or medicine. Tlie
addition of oil to nny of the salad
greens makes them more valuable, as
oil Is healing, lubricates the tissues
and stimulates tho action of the liver
People who do not like olive oil hnvn
undoubtedly been turned against it by
being served witli an inferior quality
Oil should be sweet and nutty In taste
and have a most appetizing odor.
Locality Attracts Animals.
A locality that Is curjously shunned
by plants bub a favorite witli nnlmnlp
Is mentioned by Prof. K. F. Cautier. A
hill of rock salt near Jelfa. Algiers,
more tlinn threo hundred feet high
nnd nearly a mile In diameter, has
no plnnt life except In tho alluvium of
a low sink-holes, and the salt-impregnated
clay about it Is equally bare.
Animals, on the other hand, especially
hawks, doves and other birds, exist in
great numbers, making tho rock their
Miome and breeding places, though
obliged to seek food at a distance.

Incident That Had Ending
Black Ingratitude.
of
Varn Heard by Traveler Tells How
Australian Aborigine Escaped
From the Great Hurricane
26 Hours In the Sea.
Whilst wo waited at Cairns on tho
Vortli Queensland const for tho Now
Ciulnea packet to bo under way across
tho Coral sea wo got ear of n Capo
York aborlglno who bad sonio years
before astounded tho Australian world
by saving his life from the sen in tho
midst of a great hurricane.
The wind hnil fallen down 30 swift
ly nnd with such furious white vio
lence (said they) that of the llvo hun
dred luggers of tho pending fleet
which It cast away, some were blown
to the bottom within a few rods of
shore with the loss of all hands.
In the season of the great hurricane
this aborigine wus shipped aboard n
lugger of IS tons to fish the Grent
Harrier reef oft the Capo York coast
for shell and beclic-dc mer. When tho
big wind camo down (said he) it lifted
tho little lugger clean out of tho water
like a leaf in a galo and flung hor
back capsized nnd cast away. And so
swift was this, and wnnton, and com
plete, nnd careless and lazy, that tho
nhoriglno was greatly astonished, for
he had not thought that any wind
coulil accomplish it.
It was then near six o'clock of a
Saturday evening. And nil at onco
It was dark. The wreck of the lugger
vanished In tho surprising night and
a smother of broken water. What a
turmoil there was how the ylnd tore
off tho crests of the tnnglcal wavt .
and drenched tho air with a stifling
mist of spray and what a confusion
of ,nolso and movement, nnd how
black, nnd how white, tho .ush of tho
night the aborlglno could not with
any art relate; hut said with his eyes
popped out, In tho recollection of tho
mnglcal performance of Hint jlnkle-jln-kie
gale. "My word, one big fellow
sen!"
He was tossed- and driven like a
chip of driftwood all that night (Bald
lie) ; his head was up. Ills heels wore
up, ho was rolled over and over, ho
was beaten deop under water, tho
breath was blown back In his mouth:
and he fancied sometimes that the
wind picked him up with its hands and
cast him through tho air, from crest
to crest, clear of the sea which was
doubtless true, for the wind was mng
Ically strong, nnd In magical wrath,
and magically as sticky as gum.
In the morning tho aborlglno fell In
with his lubro (wife); nnd tho lubru
stood by to help him (said they), be
ing a stronger swimmer than lie, and
n more cunning diver nfter shell and
beche-de-mer, nnd more daring and
elusive In shnrk-water: so that her
value was known to all (tho masters of
luggers out of Thursday Island nnd
known quite ns well, you may bo sure,
to the aborigine. Hy and by dawn
long ago come and noon near, and the
wind nbatlng these two could glimpse
the laud from tho crests of tho waves.
It was far away u low, blue lino.
Yet now, ' .vlng found themselves,
they set out heartily, In about their
fourteenth hour on tho wntor, to win
tho shore.
In the afternoon the aborigine be
gan to fall. Tho thing wns too much
for him. He lost heart (said he); ho
was worn out, and neded food slcopy,
too, with wenkness. Ills anxious little
lubra must rest lilrn, now nnd again
support him whilst he lay still, and
once, Indeed, whilst lie nodded off to

More Nourishment ,
Weight for Weight
in a package of Grape-Nuts than in a roast of beef.
Grape-Nuts is meat the meat of wheat and, barley a rich, sweet, appetizing
food, ready to eat direct from the package with cream or milk.
All the bone-making, blood-making, muscle-making values of choicest wheat
combined with malted barley are afforded in this famous pure food.
Grape-Nuts being partially pre-digested by long baking, gives quickly a wonderful
power to "do," in return for the small energy required to digest it. Better and more
complete nourishment than Grape-Nut8 and cream is difficult to find; and with the
price of meat way up there's true economy, too.
This sturdy food is sold by Grocers everywhere, in wax-sealed packages.
Thousands make it a part of their daily breakfasts.
There's a

sleep, and In this wny refreshed his
strength and spirit.
And so they swam together, nnd
paused to rest, and swam on tho
woman having no rest nt nil, but lend
ing strength to tho mnn, nt shortening
periods, nil tho whilu. In tho end
they crawled up tho beach nnd foil
down nnd slept for n long time.
It wns then eight o'clock of n Sun
day night; they had been In hurricane
wntor a matter of twenty-six hours;
nnd tho man would surely hnvo gono
down had It not been for tho faithful
littlo lubra. And they did not wnko
up (snld the aborlglno) until dnwn of
Monday.
All this whllo tho womnu had car
ried tho baby. It was dead, of course
must hnvo died soon In tho smother.
'Wouldn't drop it," snld tho sklppor
of our sloop.
Wo watched tho aborlglno and his
lubra leave tho warm, green water.
"That littlo woman?" said I.
"Oh, my word, not at all!" tho skip
per exclaimed. "Tho womnn went
crnzy whon sho woko up In tho morn
ing nnd found hor baby dend. And
tho black fellow deserted her. This
one's a now one!" From "Shipmates
of tho Coral Sea," by Norman Dun
can, In Hnrpor's Magazine.
Not Guilty.

littlo negro boy ono tiny, sho screwed
up courage to ask him his nnnio.

uoy.
"Oh!" exclnlmed May, ho fnco
lighting up with surprise and pleas
ure, "aro you tho David that killed
Goliath?'
Tho littlo black boy gnve a fright
ened glu n co around, and, beginning -to
whimper, ho shrieked: "Naw, 1 ain't

Not an Original Remark.
"Ah, my dearest Angellnu!" ex
claimed Fertile, as ho slowly settled
to his knees nt tho feel of his adored
one, nfter having imprinted n kiss
upon her ruby Hps, "a kiss from you
Is Indeed a tasto of heaven on earth."
Placing her gcntlo hnnd upon his
contracted brow, sho ronmrked in n
low, soulful tono of voice: "Hnh! Can't
you say somuthlng original? Forty
different young men hnvo got off that
samo stereotyped remark."
Attitude of the Believer.
I fool that goodness, and truth, nnd
righteousness aro renlitics, eternal
realities, ami that they cannot bo ab
stractions, or vapors Hunting i. a spir

sarily imply a living, personal will, a
good, loving, righteous God, In whoso
hands we aro perfectly safe, and who
Is guiding us by unfailing wisdom.
