REALLY NO ANSWER POSSIBLE Carter’s Explanation Sufficient,Though It May Not Have Satisfied An noyed Tourist. Arran is still the haunt of the walk ing tourist, says the Glasgow News, hut summer days are sometimes al most too warm to be comfortable for the pedestrian, as two middle-aged sightseers recently discovered. On the outskirts of Whiting bay they rested by the wayside; then, di vesting themselves of jackets and waistcoats, they crawled up the steep incline to Dippin, and then on to Kil -donan. When they came to put on their waistcoats and jackets, one of the men discovered that his waistcoat had been left behind at the place where they had rested. He reluctant ly turned his steps toward Whiting bay. On the way he met a carter, who asked: “Are you looking for a waistcoat, sir?" “Yes, my man,” replied the pedes trian, hopefully, “have you got it?” “No; but I saw it on the grass at the black rocks." “Why didn't you bring it with you?” thundered the other. “Weel, ye see, sir, I didna just ken which way ye had gone.” The Arran natives are adept in the simple retort. The rest was silence. IF HAIR IS TURNING GRAY, USE SAGE TEA Oon't Look Old! Try Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair.

Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the condition of the kidneys. The physician in nearly all cases oi serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patient’s urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly-, the other organs cannot readily be brought back to health and strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results arc sure to follow. According to health statistics. Bright’s disease, which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in 1013 in the state of New York alone. Therefore, it behooves us to pay more attention to the health of these most important organs. An ideal herbal compound that has bad remarkable success as a kidney rem edy is Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. The mild and healing influence of this preparation in most cases is soon realized, according to sworn statements and verified testimony of those who have used the remedy. If you feel that your kidneys require attention, and wish a sample bottle, write to Dr. Kilme: &. Co., Binghamton, N. Y. Mention thii paper, enclose ten cents and they will gladly forward it to you by Parcel Post. Swamp-Root is sold by every druggist in bottles of two sizes—50c and $1.00. Adv.

POISONOUS PLANTS OF THE s WESTERN RANGES PREPARED BY THE US. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE \ZY<ZA2f?m.0R\\ " CAMRS 1 HO%OCK loco, lan&zocv. or z&ttuw&d ACH year poisonous plants are responsible for large ' losses of live stock on the western ranges. Al though there is a large list of plants whose poisonous qualities might pos sibly do harm this an nual loss is almost entirely the work of a very limited number. If stockmen, indeed, would learn to rocognize without fail half a dozen of the more dangerous plants their stock would go through the year practically un harmed. Many stockmen already pos sess this knowledge, but it is also true that there are others who do not know what plants to avoid or where these enemies are most likely to be found. Common names, such as “loco,” “poi son weed” and “parsnip” are used in a very indefinite way. Of these plants the cicuta, or water hemlock (Fig. 1), is the only one that is dangerous to man. It causes ex cessive frothing at the mouth, gnash ing of teeth, pain and nausea which result in violent convulsions, and even death. It is poisonous at any season but does most of its damage in the spring and early summer. For domes tic animals there is no remedy, but an emetic will frequently save man. It grows from three to four feet in height with a white flower. The root is the poisonous portion of the plant. The locos are perhaps the most com mon of all the more poisonous plants. There are many varieties, but the one illustrated in figure 2 is one of the worst. It affects horses, cattle and sheep, causing progressive emaciation which after a time varying from a few weeks to two or three years may bring about starvation for the animal ceases ultimately either to eat or to drink. =F [ Good food, laxatives, strychnine for cattle and Fowler's solution for horses are recommended as remedies. All parts of the plant are poisonous. It is from six inches to a foot in height with flowers that vary from pure white to shades of purple and pink. The larkspur on the other hand af fects only cattle. There are two com mon varieties—the tall larkspur tFig. 3) and the low1 larkspur. The tall lark spur grows from three to seven feet I in height and the low from six inches to one and one-half feet. The flowers of both are violet-blue and purple. All parts of the plant are poisonous, but after it has blossomed the poisonous properties are lost. It is most to be feared, therefore, in spring and early summer. The first symptoms are re peated falling, accompanied by such weakness that the animal is unable to rise for some time. When on its feet it staggers. Nausea and vomiting come later and death from respiratory paralysis is apt to be the outcome. The affected animals should be kept still with their heads up hill and hypo dermic injections of eserine and l whisky administered. NO NEED TO FEAR MEAT Thorough Cooking of Uninspected Meat Will Render It Safe From Foot-and-Mouth Infection. Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. According to the specialists of the department of agriculture people, even in states quarantined for the foot-and mouth disease, need have no fear of eating meat, provided they cook it thoroughly. The foot-and-mouth dis ease is i?ot easily communicated to human beings through food, although milk from a diseased cow might trans mit the disease to a human being. In the case oi milk, however, pasteuriza tion will render it entirely safe. Hu man beings who do get the disease commonly get it from direct contact with a sick animal. It is wisest, there fore. for people to keep away from all animals having the disease, unless they are properly provided with rub ber gloves, coats and boots, and these are thoroughly disinfected after each visit to the animals. In the case of meat, as in the case of milk, it must be remembered that all herds which actually show the dis ease are quarantined, and neither milk nor meat from the sick animals can be sold. Sixty per cent of the meat used in this country is produced in nearly 800 federally inspected slaughtering i and packing establishments located in 240 cities. In these establishments no animal is slaughtered until it has ! passed an ante-mortem inspection and also a most rigid post-mortem inspec tion by a veterinarian at the time of j slaughter. After slaughter its meat cannot leave the establishment until it has been carefully examined and stamped “U. S. Inspected and Passed." In all these establishments no animal showing any symptoms whatever of foot-and-mouth disease is allowed to go to slaughter, and no meat which, on ■ post-mortem inspection, shows any sus ! picious symptoms of this complaint can be shipped out of the establishment. | All meat suspected of coming from an animal suffering with this complaint is sent, under government seal, to the tanks to be rendered into fertilizer. The federal inspection stamp on meat, therefore, means that it is entirely : safe. The federal government, however, has no jurisdiction over local slaughter houses which do not ship meat outside of the state in which it is slaughtered. If, however, meat from such an animal did escape from one of these local slaughter houses, which are purely un der state or municipal control, all dan ger of its communicating the disease to human beings would be removed when it is thoroughly cooked and ster ilized. Those who are located near an infected region and wish to be ab solutely certain of the safety of their meat should cook it thoroughly. The disease when contracted by adults is not at all a serious Illness. It commonly takes the form of slight fever sores in the mouth and a slight eruption on the fingers. In the case of small or sickly children, it may take a more serious form, especially if com I plicated by other Illnesses. Sheep find the lupine particularly dangerous. This plant (Fig. 4) grows from one to two feet in height with flowers of a light blue or blue-violet. All pods and seeds are poisonous in the late summer or fall. Sheep suffer ing from lupine poisoning, show nerv ousness and weakness. They become unduly sleepy and suffer from partial paralysis and are ultimately taken with convulsions which lead to death. The zygandenus, or death camas (Fig. 5) is also particularly dangerous to sheep, but it affects horses and cat tle as well. All parts of the plant are poisonous but the seed especially so. Frothing at the mouth, vomiting, trembling, with spasmodic gasping for breath are symptoms of this poison ing. It is not unusual for the animal to lie for days before death relieves it. The color of the flower is greenish yellow, the plant growing from four inches to one and one-half feet in height. If stockmen will familiarize them selves with the appearance of these plants and with the symptoms that they cause it is believed that they can safeguard their herds from them without serious difficulty. Bulletins describing in detail some of the plants have already been issued by the United States department of agricul ture and will be sent free on applica tion wfcile the department's supply lasts. The plants already described are those which it is most necessary to avoid. Spider's Wonderful Web. The spider is so repulsive as to cause a shudder in those who look upon it, and it is of no use in the world except for destruction of flies and other detestable insects, all mak ing for a population that no army of spiders can exterminate. The house wife and all the rest of mankind may execrate the flies, but they would rather have a million flies than one spider; yet this infinitely disgusting creation of incomprehensible nature produces a thread and with magical fa cility flings it into wonderful web forms which baffle all explanation of the geometrician. Few of the curiosities of the myriad insect world are so marvelous as the spinning of the spider and the silk worm. Many attempts have been made to utilize the spider for the produc tion of silk, but the worm remains the almost absolute monopolist, though artificial silks are made from cotton and other material by an expensive treatment which are claimed to be equal to the real article in luster and elasticity.

FIND HOLY WRIT ON PAPYRI Glasgow University Gets Priceless Manuscripts Discovered by Ex plorers in Egypt. It was at Oxyrhincus that the fa mous new “Sayings of Jesus” were re-' cently found. The most important of the papyri is a fragment of the fif teenth and sixteenth chapters of John’s gospel, dating from the end of the third century and substantially confirming the readings so largely adopted by the New Testament re visers. The fragment is further of impor tance as showing the outward form in which the New Testament writings were first circulated. Their contents, it is known, were written in parallel columns on rolls of papyrus in upright letters of a me dium size, and with no divisions be tween the words, and without punctu ation marks, while the numerous la cunae, or breaks, caused by the brittle nature of the material, are themselves convincing evidence of the ease with which errors in copying would arise during the earliest period in the his tory of the text. The second document, dating from the fifth century, is an amulet or charm, probably worn around the neck, as it was tightly folded up and tied with a string.

DENTISTS IN A CONTROVERSY Method of Treatment of Dreaded Pyor rhea Has Been Made Subject of Discussion. It Beems that in England it is a common practice to pull all the teeth in order to cure pyorrhea alveolaris or Riggs’ disease. Sir James Good heart. the famous surgeon, raised an earnest protest against this. Certain dentists defend it. on the ground that oral sepsis is a common cause of rheu matic diseases. To these Sir James replies in a letter to the Lancet, in which he says: "To one not an expert it seems more reasonable to hold that so long as teeth are good, firm in their sockets, free from pain and serviceable for easy mastication, there is something to be said on the side of keeping our own rather than taking to others that we know not of. We seem to be far too ready to jump from the latest hypothesis of oral sepsis to the proof thereof. The changes said to occur j in the bone in these cases, for ex ample, have they been clearly distin guished from those that must exist in company with retrocession of the gum? an exceedingly common condi tion that carries with it usually no sign of sepsis.” Often a Quick One. "Pa, are there any scene shifters in the theater of war?" “Yes, son Every time a battery 01 big guns gets the enemy’s range there’s a change of scene.” AH OFFICIAL ERROR By H. M. EGBERT. "We are all agreed upon our verdict, gentlemen?” inquired the presiding of ficer of the court-martial. “Yes, sir,” answered Major Lafleche. "Yes,- sir,” repeated the other mem bers, down to the junior one, Lieuten ant Leblanc, who repeated the words in a dry voice and licked his lips nervously. “It is the only verdict possible un der the laws of war," said Colonel Boileau. “Let the prisoner be brought in." Two noncommissioned officers led the young fellow into the tent. He was a fair-haired boy, not more than two or three and twenty. He faced the court impassively, but the fear of death was evident in his ashen face and twining fingers. “Jean Marchand,” said the colonel, “you have been found guilty of the crime of sleeping on sentry duty. There is only one punishment for that. Have you anything to say before sen tence is pronounced upon you?" “Not much, sir," answered the boy. “I had not slept for three nights, owing to the forced marches. And the sergeant put me on duty two nights in succession, by error." “Let Sergeant Lavergne be re called,” commanded the colonel, and presently the sergeant appeared with in the tent. “Was the prisoner placed on sentry duty on two successive nights?” asked Colonel Boileau. “No, sir," replied the sergeant quietly. He was not sure, now that they ques tioned him, but having given his evi dence, he did not want to get into trc-uble. Besides, he hated the young American who had returned at the outbreak of war to fight for his fa ther’s country. Marchand. with his American ideas, had been what is called a “lawyer.” He had made trouble with the commis sa-iat, with the little thieving corporal who sold the hay; altogether he was what the sergeant regarded as a bad influence in the force—that is to say, a man. not a machine. War had been declared four days before, and the company was moving by forced marches toward the frontier. A Little Old Lady Came In. Id war time sleeping on sentry duty has, justly enough, only one penalty— death. Marchand could hope for no mercy, for his negligence might have cost hundreds of lives. He had been brought to America in childhood, and had grown up an Amer ican in every sense of the word. His father, a silk importer, had prospered in the land of hie adoption, and two months before, while on a business trip to his native land, had died sud denly. The boy and his mother had hurried to France to adjust his affairs. Then Mrs. Marchand had remembered some old friends in Nancy, and had gone there for a brief visit, while the son settled the Paris business tangle. Suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, war blazed out. Mrs. Marchand, shut up in Nancy, could get no news of her soil. And Jean, ablaze with new love for the land of his birth, had enlisted as a private soldier. The tragedy of the affair was that Nancy was not six miles distant, and the .mother, waiting there, did not know but that Jean was in Paris. Colonel Boileau faced the prisoner. “The sentence of this court is that you be shot at dawn,” he said. The noncommissioned officers took the young man to the guard tent. The court-martial dispersed. It was eve ning, and the company had been ordered to advance no further till it received orders. The firing squad which had been told off to perform the execution at dawn whispered together. It was a melancholy duty, yet a necessity, if discipline was to be maintained, for upon the vigilance of her soldiers the safety of the motherland depended. In his tent Colonel Boileau scanned his war map, together with his aide, Jaequevel, the captain who had en deavored most strongly of all the court to find extenuating circum stances. When the business of the night was done Boileau turned to Jaequevel. / It’s a sad business,’’ he said. “But it’s a necessity. And, to be frank, Jaequevel, I suspected that young man of more than the crime of which he was accused. If it were only that I should telegraph Joffre, asking for a commutation of sentence.” ‘ Of what do you suspect him, sir?" ! inquired Captain Jaequevel. ‘Espionage,” answered the colonel briefly. “He is not a Frenchman. Did you not detect his accent?” ‘Alsatian,” suggested Captain Jaequevel. Never, ’ replied Boileau. "1 spent three months in Alsace. They have ♦ie heavy Teutonic guttural in their throats, not that North German burr of Marchand’s. I think—” But what he thought was never said, for at that moment an orderly raised the flap of the tent. “A lady wishes to see you, sir,” he said. "A Mme. Marchand of I^ancy." Colonel Boileau looked triumphantly at Jacquevel. “You see,” he said. “A prearranged thing. No doubt another spy, passing as a relative. Well, show her in, Louis. And we’ll keep her when she comes in,” he added to Jacquevel, “unless she can tell a plain story.” The tent flap was raised again and a little old lady came in. Despite his angry suspicions Colonel Boileau rose and offered her a camp stool. For the little old lady was so typically French. “Well, madam?” he asked. ^ “My son has enlisted in your com pany, colonel,” said the little old lady triumphantly. Yes, there was triumph in her voice and all through the story she told him. For Mme. Marchand had in secret wished that her 6on might not forfeit his birthright, and, learning at Nancy, by a friend who managed to reach her, that Jean had enlisted, nothing would satisfy her but that she must go to the place where he was and see him in the uniform which his father had worn. “And, thank heaven, he is here,” she continued. “I walked from Nancy, starting at noon.” “You walked from Nancy, madam?” inquired the colonel incredulously. “Six miles? Pooh! That is noth ing. During the war of 1870, when my Philippe was serving on the frontier, I walked from Nancy to Paris. And nowr I have come to see my Jean in the midet of his comrades. To think that, with all his American citizenship he preserved his French heart—” “Did you say he was an American, madam?" demanded Colonel Boileau gruffly. "Assuredly. His father and I w'ent to America when he was a baby, and he obtained citizenship at twenty-one. But a Frenchman never forgets France. Now take me to him, colonel!” Colonel Boileau sat staring into the little old lady's face. She was typi cally French, so smartly attired, de spite her widow’s weeds. Captain Jacquevel coughed in a melancholy manner and looked down at the ground. “My son is only a private now,” con tinued Mme. Marchand. “But soon you will see him a corporal, and then a sergeant. He will be promoted for gallantry upon the field and made lieu tenant, then captain, major—who knows but that the end of the war may see him a colonel?” Colonel Boileau could find nothing to say. For a long w’hile he sat star ing at the little old lady. At last he arose. “Captain Jacquevel, you will offer our hospitality to Mme. Marchand until I return,” he said, and, leaving the tent, went to the guard tent. Inside, between two corporals, sat Jean Marchand. He was seated bolt upright, staring out into the darkness. The terror had not yet come upon him, for it all seemed like a disordered dream—all the incidents since his en listment. Colonel Boileau led the prisoner outside the tent. The corporals, springing to their feet, saluted their officer. It did not seem strange to them that he should have come for Marchand—nothing seemed strange in times like these. When they had gone a little way Colonel Boileau shouted, “Halt!” The prisoner faced him expectantly. He did not know that the hour of ex ecution had not been advanced. “Marchand,” said the colonel, “your mother is here.” Jean Marchand’s hand went up to his hat brim mechanically, in the man ner he had learned. “Marchand. you will die at sunrise,” said Colonel Boileau. "But you will appear before yoflr mother and tell h^r that you are a free man. She will think that you have been killed in action. Do you understand?” The young man nodded, and Colonel Boileau brought him to the tent door and conducted his mother out to him. Half an hour later a wagon, drawn by four horses and escorted by a file of soldiers, conveyed Mme. Marchand back to Nancy. Her eyes were brim jning with tears of happiness at the thought of her son’s future. Jean Marchand stood at the colonel’s door. He was awaiting the soldiers who were to conduct him back to the guard tent. Colonel Boileau took him by the shoulders and pointed southward. “Yonder lies Tourville,” he said. "The Army of the East is recruiting there. Your future lies there. Offi cially, you die at dawn. But Jean Marchand is not a unique name, and it is poseible that another Jean Mar chand may w’in honors in war and serve the army of his mother land.” (Copyright. 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Barbers Endanger Royal Lives. When in the barber’s chair a man is helpless. And one wonders if such an idea occurred to the king of the Belgians when fie was shaved by a village barber the other day. If that modest Figaro had been a German spy, he would have been in a position to strike a blow which would probably have rejoiced the heart of the kaiser. The risk run by monarchs who sub mit their royal chins to be shaved by other hands than their own was brought to the notice of Charles II one fine morning at Windsor castle. The barber who was shaving the king paused in his work to remark, as he held the royal nose between his finger and thumb, "Do you know, your maj esty. I could cut your throat if I wanted to?” The king jumped from the chair in alarm, exclaiming: "Odds fish! so you could.” And that barber never entered the palace again.— London Chronicle.

The young man hesitated to believe the statement of her little brother that the young lady was not at home. He repeated the question, at the same time displaying a quarter.
