is made of. One of the best bake shops any­
where is run in connection with the mill that
makes Olympic Flour. Every bunch'd flour
that goes through tho mill is tested. It has
to be up to the highest standard—has to make
the best bread possible, else it doesn't go into
the Olympic sacks.
That is the reason your bakings of bread,
biscuit and pastry are always uniformly good
when you use Olympic. Your bakings can’ t
be expected to be the same always unless the
dour is. Therein lies the beauty of using
Olympic.

“ I believe that I owe a great den)
e f my good health to the fact that
I rizzle every day,” said a well
known physician of this city.
‘‘ What ? Don’t you know how to
rizzle? It is a most wonderful aid
to perfect health. I masticate m
food very carefully at dinner am
make sure to have my family and
friends entertain me wfth bright
talk and plenty of fun. A fter din­
ner it is understood that I am go­
ing to rizzle. So I retire to my
study, and, having darkened the
room, I light a cigar, sit down and
perform the operation. How to de­
scribe it I don’t know, hut it is a
condition as nearly like sleep as
sleep is like death. It consists in
doing absolutely nothing. I close
my eyes and try to stop all action
of the brain. 1 think of nothing
It only takes a little practice to b6
able to entirely stifle the brain. In
that delightful condition I remain
at least ten minutes, sometimes
twenty. It is the condition most
helpful to digestion, and it is that
which accounts for the habit ani­
mals have of sleeping after eating.
I would rather miss a fat fee than
that ten minutes’ rizzle every day."i

Stage Repartee.
Paris actors are very fond of saying
things to one another on the stage
which will confuse them and make an
answer very awkward. A few days
ago, during the progress of a costume
play, one o f the actors who was wear­
ing a sword knocked the thunder
plates down In the wings.
Thunder plates are sheets of tin
which are shaken to produce thunder,
and the uolse of the fail of a couple of
them can be Imagined. The king, who J. W
waa upon the stage, turned lo one of
the pages and haughtily asked, ‘‘What­
ever Is that?”
To his surprise the page, who, as
stage pages often are, was a charming
young lady In real life, answered,
“ Thirty deaf mutes are down below,
sire, asking for conversation with your
majesty."
The king, without moving a inuecle,
although the audience laughed, replied.
“ Are you quite certain they are
dumb?"
"They say so, sire," replied the page
with great solemnity.
"W ell,” said the king, “they make
an awful noise about It.”
