"Whorover you go. in Ceylon,'* said 1

“Wherever you go the leeches prey j
on you. I was dressed in white one )
night, ridin’ with a beautiful Ceylon
girl, when I saw a red streak on
my white pants below the knee. Ex-
cusin’ myself hastily, 1 retired. It
was a leech, of course, dinin’ with mo

"The only way to get. them off with-
out hreakin* them and leavin' their
heads inside you is to squeeze a few
drops of lemon on them, the same as
if they was raw oysters. That par-
alyzes them and they fall to the
ground like ripe fruit. Every two

carefully the half do7,en leeches stuck
in a black mass to the calf of the leg.

Paint Talk.
B3W VSV* «BS»3-39
Tho life of your house depends upon th • Paint you put on it, there-
fore select one that is mada by a company with a reputation behind
it. .
Harrison’s “Town and Country” Paint is tho result of over one hun
dred years of good Paint making experience.
Dont let some painter tell you that lie can mix load and oil and com-
pete with a million dollar manufacturing plant; if you are about to
paint your house give us a call and we will prove to your satisfaction
that nn painter can mix lead and oil and do you as good work as he
could with Harrison’s “Town and Country” Paint.
Why does the National Government use ready mixed paint?
Why does practically all the great railroad companies use ready
mi-xed paint? Because they have analysis that show that a painter
can not mix his lead and oil as thoroughly and as economicly as it can
be done with machinery.
I lore are some of the National Buildings that aro painted with “Har-
rison's “Town slid Country” Paint:
The United States Capitol, Washington, D. 0.
The Independence Hall, (the birthplace of American liberty) Phila-
delphia.
The Itliode Island Slate Capitol.
Tho Congressional Library, Washington, D. C.
The Boston Public Library.
The Iowa State Capitol,
The Postofflco Department Building, Washington, D. C.
I f it is the best Paint for National Buildings it is the best Paint for
your house. Give it a trial and be convinced.

Feeding the Kaiser.
Fetdin gthe German emperor Is no
light task. Despite all that Is said
about the kaiser's Spartan habits
there are few monarchs who keep
more elaborate tables.
He has no less than four chefs—
Selledenstucker, a German; Harding,
an Englishman; an Italian and a
Frenchman—so that ho can have his
meals for the day sepvod in the style
of whatever nation he may happen to
fancy.
Each of those chefs has his staff of
assistants, while, in addition, there is
an individual who may be described
as "sausage maker to the kai.,er."
His majesty is very fond of the
huge white frankfurter sausage, and
has a supply of them made fresh
every day in his own kitchen. When
engaged in maneuvering his army on
a big field day these frankfurters and
bread, washed down with lager beer,
invariably form the kaiser’s lunch.—
Cleveland Leader.
Nature Study.
Moving pictures are to he used for
scientific demonstration as well as for
amusement. Photography has already
been of great value In the study of
anatomy, and it is now proposed to
produce living pictures of surgical
operations, so that students may ac-
quire the technique without verbal de-
scription. Such representations might
be of service in refreshing the mem-
ory, but some patients would not care
to submit to an operation whieh had
been rehearsed by means of a kine-
matograph. Mr. Charles Urban sug-
gests that this method might be em-
ployed with advantage in the study of
living wild animals. We should then

momentous questions about caribou,

“If you want striking illustration
of the Increase in the price of food
stuffs in the last 10 or 16 years.'
said nn old hotel man, "Just gut hold
of an old table d'hote menu and see
the list of things that hotel guests
used to get a quarter of a century ago
for 76 cents. It would break up any
hotel to offer the same bill of fate at
the same price lo-day."
