hood have given up the chase. He
has secured the hand of a first class
teacher, she being a graduate of the
Ashland normal and was once a
student at the state university at
Eugene. The cunning fox was so
sly about it that the boys did not
know.of it in time to have the regu

missed - some of her half grown

noise but could see nothing f them
but on close search found three of
them in the cracks in the sticky
utterly helpless, they having fallen
into the cracks and the sticky mud
having accumuluted so that they
could not walk. After carrying
them to the water and washing
their feet they were all right. It is
not safe for young ducks or pigs to
run in "sticky" just after the first
rains.

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.

Aseendlu Mont lilit:ic.
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.

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. Youth's Companion.

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.

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:"

It is an interesting thing to know
that 4,200 speciesof plants are gathered
and used for commercial purposes in
Europe. 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

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. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery cures 98 per cent of all case.l
of consumption, lingering coughs, throat
and bronchial diseases if it is taken accord
