He is not as fond of home as some. but would enjoy travelling and would gain considerable from it, as he would want to see all that was going on around him, could tell what he had seen and describe plac- es he had visited. If he were a boy under the hands of a skilled phrenol- ‘ogist he would tell him there were. ‘many things he could do well. but would advise him to give attention to some scientific pursuit; he would succeed as a teacher of science or‘ would make an excellent electrician.‘ lIis language is not strongly marked but with careful cultivation he would become a fine speaker, and what he had to say would be of a practical nature rather than of a poetic character: this is shown by the com- parative narrOWncss of the ft-rehead when compared with that strong brow. His gifts for music are not strong. He inherits much from his father and grandmother. He is not ner- mmc m~ pxcitable. but self-possed, He inherits much from ms lilbllUl and grandmother. He is not ner- vous or excitable. but, self-possed, cool and well balanced. and no doubt will make a. fine all-round man simple in his tasees, free from all trace of conceit. and endowed with a large share of practical common sense. He is a healthy man. has a good hold on life. and in all probability will one day be king of England. Spenrlng Mnskrats. The most destructive mode of cap- turing the muskmt is by spearing. Four or five rods of iron three or four feet long are secured in a cross section frame of wood or iron, and their points are well sharpened. and with this the hunter ap- proaches the rathouse as quietly as pos- sible, as the inmates are constantly on the alert and if alarmed will quickly run down their spiral stairway and out into the leads. Stepping to the side of the house the hunter reaches up over it and plunges the spears down through it as far as he can push them. With a ? pick he pulls the house to pieces and frequently finds two or three muskrats, and sometimes more, impaled by the spears. This destructive method is. how- ever, not looked upon with favor by the sportsmen, as it tends to drive the rats away from the more accessible parts of the marsh. London’s Passion For Luxury. The tendency among the British mid- dle classes is rather to live above their incomes than within them, says on Am- sterdam newspaper. There is also a pas- sion for luxury in Lmdon. and a desire to display. which seems a peculiarly stupid and useless desire in a huge city, Where one seldom knows one’s neighbors.

The Cry of an Infant is Nature’s of Distress Babies never cry unless there is" some good reason for it. The crv of a. baby is nature’s warning signal that there is something wrong. Ev- ery mother ought to get to work immediately to find out what that something wrong may be. If the fretfulness and irritation are not caused by exterior sources, it is conâ€" clusive evidence that the crying baby iis ill. The only safe and judicious ‘thing to do is to administer Baby’s Own Tablets without the slightest delay. v .»- For indigestion, sleeplessness, the irritatiOn accompanying the cutting of teeth, diarrhoea, constipation. colic, and simple fevers, these mar- vellous little tablets have given re lief to thousands of cases and saved many precious baby lives. Do not give a child so-called “soothing" medicines; such only stupify and pi\ duce unnatural sleep. Baby’s Own "l‘ablets are guaranteed to contain no iopiate or other harmful drugs; they promote sound, healthy sleep beâ€" cause they go directly to the root of baby troubles. Dissolved in water these tablets can be given to the youngest infant. Mrs. Walter BrOWn, Milby, Que., sayszâ€"“I have never used any medicine for Baby that did as much good as Baby's Own Tabâ€" lets. I would not be without them.’ Baby’s Own Tablets are for sale at all drug stores, or will be sent direct on receipt of price (25 cents a 86x) by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont.

For the last 600 years there has been preserved in the Cathedral of Genoa an emerald vase of hexagonal shape. Its principal diameter measures 121/; inches and its height 5% inches. This article is secured under several locks. the keys of which are in different bands. It is but rarely exhibited in public, and that; only on a decree of the senate. “'hen brought out for exhibition, the vessel is slung to the neck of the officiating priest by means of a cord fastened to both its handles. and he never allows it to pass out of his hands. By an ancient decree of May 24. 1476, it is forbidden to touch the vase or go too near it. During the siege of Genoa, in 1319, this vase was pledged to Cardinal Luc de Fresqne for 1.200 gold marks, but it was subsequent- ly redeemed. A citizen of Genoa has written a hook in order to prove that this vessel was a gift presented to Coleman by the Queen of Sheba. Joakieyâ€"That’s a dever bit. Coakleyâ€"Yes; that’s by Jetsam.
