You will never cure lung troubles by dosing the stomach. The Peps way Is en. tirely different. Peps are tablets made up of Pine extracts and medi. ¢inal essences, which when put into the mouth turn into healing vapors, These are breathed down direct to the lungs, throat and bronehial tubes not swallowed down to the stomach--which is not alling. Peps contain no morphia, lauda- num, nor any of the poisons which ure found in many of the old-fash- foned ryrups. Peps are, therefore, best for aged people and for young children. Peps do not disorder the stomach; they sweeten the breath, are pleasant to take, and are the latest amd best that science can uffer for the treatinent of coughs, colds, bronchitis and allied lung troubles.

International ques- tions are so broad that they do not re- Quire any close reasoning in order to express opinions about them. That is their great beauty. One can strike in almost anywhere without any great danger of hitting bottom, and one can say almost anything about an'interna- tional question without being called to a®OWEt except by some one who is equally unretable, Local questions are quite different in that respect. Local questions are much more prosaic and less romantic. One must be surer of his data and more consistent in his conclusion. In explaining local ques- tions there is always danger that the man you are explaining to knows more about the matter than you de yourself, If you must make ignorant statements do it In the way that best conceals your ignorance: ---- When the World Was New.

The Cape of Good Hope lies at a con- siderable distance from the end of South Africa and is, fu fact, rhe middle of the three promontories, severally in- consplcuous, which jointly terminate a slender peninsula some twenty miles in length forming the barrier between False bay and the Atlantic ocean on the west. These three headlands, Tying near together and commonly undivided on a map of moderate scale, are locally designated Cape Point. It was here that Bartholomew Diaz first encoun- tered in full foree the/prevglent south- easterly gales and denounced the rug- 'ged Thireatenin g. threefold promontory under the sounding appellation of the Cape of Storms, to be afterward re- christened by pious, trustful hearts the Cape of Good Hope. Rs ------------ Pairing In Legislatures, The custom of pairing in the house of commons originated jn Cromwell's time. "Pair off" ,is the phrase used to signify that two members of a legis: lative body of opposite political opin- fons agree to abseht themselves from voting for a certain period. By "pair- ing" in this way they neutralize each other's absence. The whips-'of the house generally mauage to tind "pairs" when, for any reason. members desire to be absent temporarily.

The best wiy to trap hin is to build a bonfire over the set after the traps have been properly placed Throw into the embers some bacon rinds, chicken bones or, better yet. bones of sage hen or grouse, The coyote habitually searches about campfires for stray bits of meat and is therefore less wary. The fire obilterates the traces of the set, eliminates the tracks and smell of a human being, and the odor of the burned meat will attract him from a long distance. He is more likely to walk into the trap thus dis. guised with the remnants of a camp- fire than any other unless you have a carcass literally surrounded with traps with a severe winter on and no other carcasses within miles. --W. F. Wilcox in Farm and Fireside. J ---- Meeting Mrs. Spider, In "Insect Biographies With Pen and Camera" the author pictures the plight of the unlucky ly who has en- tered Mrs. Spider's parior: It is struggling to escape from the unexpected net which in some ys terious manner has suddenly envelop- ed it when a creature of terrible as- pect hastily rushes out upon it. Eight bead-like eyés glare wildly upon the terrified fly. A large, bairy and bristly finger-like palpus on each side of this appalling face waves and flourishes with angry menace in the air, appar- ently quivering™with malignant glee. Then one of-those combed and claw- ed feet is stretched toward the hap- less prisoner, and the threads that hold the fly are suddenly tightened up as the monster pulls them together. Then the spinnerets eject a shower of silken strands over the fly, and it is spun round and round on the threads that hold it until at last it is securely enveloped, still alive, in silken bonds. SO ------------ Artistic Temperambnt Cured. It will be news to many of her myri- ads of admirers to hear that that nobie artist Titlens "used to suffer from a bad temper, and in these outbursts she felt a strong desire to smash any- thing that came handy." How Titiens was ultimately cured of the habit Mr. Ganz relates in' his reminiscences: "8he was sitting at supper after a con- cert in a provincial town when the manager made some remark which an- noyed her. As usual, she took the first kthing that came to band, a soda' water bottle, and flung it at him. The man- ager was sitting at the table with his back to the window. The bottle miss- ed him, smashed through the window and nearly killed a casual passerby. This, sald Titiens, gave her sueh a shock that she was completely . cured of her failing."--Pall Mall Gazette. -------- Clear Seeing Massenet. Critics have mot yet assigned the late M. Massenet his permanent niche- in the temple of fame, but most of them agree that he was a charming, although not a great, composer He bad one quality of character, how- ever, which 1s not the invariable ac- companiment of genius, musical and other--he could appreciate genius in others. An anecdote taken from the Paris Figaro attests it: ; A critic >was indulging in extrava- gant praise of Massenet to his face and wound up his flattery: "Wagner! What was he? His tal- ent is most absurdly exaggerated. 1 have to pick and choose among a lot | of rubbish in Wagner" "Is that so?" commented Massenet suavely. "I should be quite happy with what you leave." -- Birds. The first "birds" were not much like those of (he present time. The pter odactyl, a sed to be the pioneer of bird life, was a great feather winged monster, with great spears on the binges of the wings and a mouth full of sharkilke teeth. The pterodactyl did not sing, and could we have seen him we would not have felt like sing- ing ourselves. True birds, and especial ly the warblers, are very late in geo- logic time. There was no bird melody in the carboniferous jungles. The singers, in all probability. did not greatly, antedate the human race.-- New_York American. ---- Where Sentiment Stops. : Mary Jobnson in ber book "Hagar" bas Mrs. Green, one of the characters. reply to the heroine's wish that she could make money by saying: "It ain't 80 easy for women to make money.

An Aanscdote of Verdi and a Bother. some Parisian Joyrnalist, The first production of Verdf's opera "Othello" took place at Milan, aud all the prominent musical erities of Bu- ropé foregathered In the Cathedral City iu Bonor of the occasion. Among them was a Parisian journalist of wide reputation and admitted authority in the musical world. His first care on his arrival in Milan was to seek out Verdi and ask to be allowed to be | present at one of the final rehearsals, The composer received the critic with extreme politeness, but replied that he could not possibly grant his request, 4s he had decided, that the rehearsals were to be absolutely private, and he could not make an exception in the favor of any one Journalist, however distinguished. The Paris critic, far from pleased at this answer, protested that in these circumstances bis account of the opera might not be all he should like it to be. "Yon see," he explained to the composer, who affected not quite to understand, "I shall have to telegraph my article the same evening. It will Decessarily be hastily written, and the impression in Paris the next day may suffer in consequence." But Verdi was more than equal to the occasion. "My dear sir" he made answer, "I do not write for 'the next day." The critic bowed himself out. ---- USE A LOOSE REIN. Do Not Be "Bossy" and Domineering In the Home Circle. * I find that I can write all day with- out pain in my fingers it I hold the pen loosely. If I should grasp it tightly it would be only a few hours before the strain made writing almost impossible, Do We not often hold too tight a rein oR ourselves and our families for com- fort? Habit has made us bossy and domineering. When a member of the family goes we want to know where he is going and how long he intends to be gone; we keep a string on him and are ready to drag him home that We may feel that all are sheltered and under our watchful eyes. This is selfish care. It fences the in- dividual in. It hampers him and makes his field of pleasure and activity cramp- ed and rasping. : When one knows that another is trustworthy, why hold so tight a rein? Some of us have got into the habit of repressing and suppressing ourselves for the sake of peace and the absence of anxiety. Freedom is necessary for the development of individuality and ; the best that is in esich one of us. The caged bird never sings 80 joyously as the bird in the fiéld or forest.--Shirley in Farm Life. ---------- Sdlt Water Cathracts. There are a good many salt water cataracts in existence. They may be found in Norway, southern Chile and British Columbia, where narrow flords, or arms of the sea, are obstructed by barriers of rock. The rising tide flows over and filters through such reefs into the great natural reservoirg beyond, but the water is held back at the ebb until it breaks over the obstruction in an irresistible torrent. Most curious of all'is the materfall at Canoe Pas- sage, where the island of Vancouver approdches the British Columbia main- land. Here the flood tide from the gulf of Georgia to the southward Is held back at a narrow cleft between two islands until it pours over in a boiling cascade eighteen feet high, with perhaps double the volume of the Rhine. At the turn of the tide, hiow- ever, the waters from the north rush back into the guif, producing a cascade of equal height and volume. The wa- terfall actually flows both ways. His Criticism. One of the wittiest of clergymen, ad- vocating the habit of preaching extem pore sermons instead of reading writ- ten ones, said he had heard of a Scot- tish minister who always relied upon his manuscript. At last his sorrowful congregation sent a deputation to com- plain that he did not speak, but always read, his sermons. "Ah, my good friends," said he, "1 have a bad memory. | should forget what 1 had to say." "Weel, »minister," was the scathing answer, "if ye canna remember your ain discoorses ye canna blame us if we forget them."--London Answers. Fascination of Golf. " "I've 'eard of Nero a-playing on "is ' fiddle, sir, when 'is 'ome was a-burn ing," said the landlady, putting down the local paper, "but this *ere game of golf must be the most faskinating 'obby in the world.

" . La Mascotte. The mascot came to us from the French.
