A Typical South African Store.
O. R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays
River, Cape Colony, conducts a store
typical of South Afrioa, at which can be
purchased anything from the proverbial
"needle to an anchor." This store is
situated in a valley nine miles from the
nearest railroad station and about tweuty
five miles from the nearest town. Mr.
i Larison says:"l am favored with the
custom of farmers within a radius of
thirty miles, to many of whom I have
supplied Chamberlain's remedies. All
testify to their value in a household where
a doctor's advice is almost out of the
question. Within one milo ot my store
the population is perhaps sixty. Of these,
within the past twelve months, no less
than fourteen have beeu absolutely cured
by Chamberlain's Cough '' jedy. This

Chalk Wonders.
Few people know what a wonderful
object, a bit of chalk is when exam
ined under a microscope. Take your
krife blade and scrape off a little of
th> loose powder, catch It on a clean
glass slide and place this 011 the stage
of a good table microscope. Use a
quarter inch objective lens and llluml
ricte the field with a cone of light from
the concave side of the reflector. The
powder will he seen to consist of a
confused mass of beautiful tiny shells,
many of them of the most «urious
fcrm.
A better way, however, is to rub
dnvn a portion of chalk with an old
toothbrush In a tumbler half filled with
water. If you desire to prepare sev
eral slides, rub on about a teaspoonful
of the powder. Shake the tumbler
briskly, allow the sediment to settle for
a moment and then carefully pour off
the milky looking water.
Repeat this until the water remains
clear, and you will then have left in
the bottom only perfect shells or large
parts of shells. Take up a small pinch
of this deposit and spread it carefully
over the center of a glass slide. Dry
over a lamp and, if you wish to pre
serve the slide for future use, mount It
in Canada balsam, pressing out the
bubbles of air beneath the cover glass.
A. Certain I)nkc and an rnocrtaln
Hoy.
A certain duke, while driving from
the station to the park on ills estate to
inspect a conipjuiy of artillery, observ
ed a ragged urchin keeping pace with
the carriage at his side. Ills grace,
being struck with the cleanliness of
the lad, asked him where he was go
ing. The lad replied:
"To the park to see the duke and so
gers."
The duke, feeling interested, stopped
his carriage and opened the door to
the lad, saying he could ride to the
park with him.
The delighted lad, being In ignorance
of whom he was, kept his grace inter
ested with quaint remarks till the park
gates were reached.
As the carriage entered it was salut
ed by the company and guns, where
upon his grace said to the lad:
"Now, can you show me where the
duke is?"
The lad eyed his person all over,
then, looking at the duke, replied quite
seriously:
"Well, I dunno, mister, but it's either
you or me!" —Spare Moments.
Dtir Mild, Not Holm.
"There used to be a famous charac
ter in our part of the world named
Frank O'Connor," said a Cincinnati
man,"and the stories of his doings and
sayings still form a large part of the
staple anecdotes of the country which
he used to permeate.
"One of his stock expressions has
passed from local to national use. If
any one did a particularly clever thing
or said anything that especially struck
him, O'Connor would say, 'That shows
aim >st human intelligence,' and now
win far and near I hear that expres
sio used it conjures up memories of
my genial old fricnil.
"Up in Ontario at one time 111 fortune
compelled O'Connor to accept a job on
a farm, where a friend one day found
him, the sweat pouring oIT his brow
and a spada in liis hand. 'llello,
Frank!' he unkindly called. 'An- you
doing very well digging out postholes?'
'l'm not,' was the tart response of
O'Connor, who was nothing if not lit
eral. "I'm digging- out mud and leaving
the holes.'"
