They will visit Crater lake before their re turn. Her Conundrum. It is often hard to determine hit from "good wit" in the rase of children, and some of their Bushes of precocity seem not to be unconscious, but rather the fragment of some remembered knowl edge. A little maid of five, who had been listening quietly to the puzzles and conundrums of the older children, seemed at last to divine the method of their construction, and, after some thought, asked: "What could you get on a very high, steep mountain?" The answers were ice, snow, rocks, eagles' nests and the like, to all of which the little one persistently shook her head. When asked to tell the answer she tri umphantly cried: Nothing!"' "But why?" asked the others, in a breath. "Because you couldn't get np there after it," was the demure reply. According to an exchange, the bulk of Sno gloves made in Russia are made from foal skins, an industry in which liu'-sisn workmen excel. They are generally cut and sewed by hand?

It is an expensive as well as a very tiresome undertaking to a;ond Mont Blans. It costs at least, fif'.y dollars a person, for by tho law of the coma-jne of Charnouni. each stranger ii obliged to have two guides and a porter. So for as the danger is concerned it is n -w re duced to a minimum, but almost every year tne mountain claims a victim. Bad weather is the chief thing feared by the guides, and so swiftly does it come that a cloudless sky may in fifteen min utes turn to a blinding snowstorm which bests you to the ground. Thus it was that some years ago a party of eleven persons perished. Five were found frozen stiff in the snow; the other six lie buried in the Glacier des Boissons. Forty years is the time al lowed for the glacier to yield them up in the valley below. Malarial produces weakness, general debllltv biliousness, loss of appetite, indigestion and constipation.

Lions and Bicycle. It was an odd and startling adven ture that befell Kev. R. P. Ashe, a mis sionary in Africa, while touring on a bicycle. He had got far in advance of his porters, and was spinning along at a pretty pood speed, with his eye on the path, when suddenly he heard a noise as of animals galloping beside him. True enough, on glancing to the right he discovered three magnificent lions keeping him company. They were twenty or thirty yards to one side, and kept along with him for perhaps a hundred yards. Then they stopped, looked at him for a moment a strange being he must have looked in their eyes and bounded away ' at right angles, still stopping now and then to look back, till they disappeared in tho long grass.

The Falkland islands and other re gions of the south temperate zone are. remarkable for the high and violent winds that blow across them. A recent visitor to the Falklands has noted the fact that the inhabitants of these islands, in consequence of being babitur.lly com pelled to brace themselves nj-clnst the wind in walking, have acquired a peculiar gait, so remarkable that a na tive Falklander can be readily distin guished by his manner of walking. On account of this gait they are called "kclpcrs." Youth's Companion. Poor Nmpoteon ! The antiquity of modern inventions has often been the subject of remark by way of commentary upon the old saying that "there is nothing new under the sun." An extreme case h reported by the London News. A peripatetic exhibitor of the phonograph in Hol land seems determined to distance all competitors. He was exhibiting the machine in the streets of Utrecht and a number of customers were listening to a selection of tunes. Suddenly the music ceased and there was a pause. Then in a loud, clear tone was beard the one word: "Halt:"' "What is that?" asked one of the listeners. "That," was the reply, "is the voice of Napoleon Bonaparte giving an order at the battle of Waterloo:" Ixk khakt. Texas. K-r. li. Messrs. lart Med'eor Co.. Pa-la, leoa.

Of these 420 have a perfume that is pleasing and enter largely into tha, manufacture of scents, soaps and sachets. There are more species of white flowers gathered than of any other color 1,134. Of these 187 have an agreeable scent, an extraordinarily large proportion. Next in order come yellow blossoms, with 051, 77 of them being perfumed. Ked flowers numlcr S23, of which S4 are scented. The blue flowers are of 594 varieties. S4 of which are perfumed, and the violet blossoms number 308, 13 of which are pleasantly oaonierous. Found dead 1 There is something so shocking about sadden death that the mere mention of it wrenches the nerves of sensitive people. Millions of people pmy for deliverance from it. Every Sunday in every Episcopal church ia the world, these words are said : ' From battle, and murder and sudden death. Good Lord, deliver ua." Just why sudden death should be shock ing, and death after lingering disease easy to bear, would puzzle any one to tell. It would seem that it would be more terrible to see some loved one wasting away, daily becoming weaker daily slipping toward a death no less certain because it was slow in coming. Consumption causes more deaths than heart disease more than cholera more than yellow fever more than any other disease the world has ever known. And yet people are careless about it. A man in danger of sudden death from heart dis ease can avoid the danger simply bv keeping quiet and avoiding excitement Consump tion goes right on with its deadly work, no matter what the man does or how he con ducts himself, if he doesn't take the right medicine to cure it. Consumption affects the whole body. It is a blood disease. It permeates the whole system. It shows in the lungs because the blood goes to the lungs for purification. It carries impurities there to be made pure. If there is too much impurity, the lungs are over-worked over loaded the impurity stops there. The germs of disease stoi there. They develop and multiply and then consumption takes definite form.
