At the close of n revival service In

Crows and Strings.
It was proved centuries ago that a
crow can count up to three and no
more. I met a fanner once who said
that bis coru crop had not failed In
wenty years owing to his habit of
stringing his Held. He explained
'No crow will enter an angle formed
by two strings stretched on poles. I
Illustrated this to some friends sev
eral years ngo by sowing a small field
In corn for fodder, protecting It by a
zigzag string running from one end to
the other. Within the angles formed
iy the string not a blade of the young
crop wns touched, but close without
them, nt ench end, the whole crop was
demolished. A crow Is a very wise
fool, nnd this Is nn effective nnd chenp
way of clrcuinvcutlug him." New

"My friends dragged me Into this

first duelist to his adversary as the
seconds approached with the deadly

of a pistol In my life, so If I hit you It
will be nn accident."
"Nor Is this awful duel to my liking,"

flavoring Tobaeco.
Nearly all tobaccos are doctored In
various ways In order to suit the tastes
or different consumers. Each mnuu
faeturer even In Havana has his own
secret methods, handed down from fa
ther to son, which are regarded as per
fectly legitimate and necessary In tho
preparation of the soothing weed. Salt
peter Is added to the tobacco to make
It burn well, licorice, honey, molasses
nnd maple sugar to give sweetness to
It for the scclul Ivenellt of chewera
nnd rum to make It keep well and pre
serve Its properties. Nearly every
plant which will afford a perfume Is
used in the preparation of what are
known as "fancy" tobaccos. Hut It Is
not true, as some suppose, that opium
and deleterious drugs nre employed,
snve In a few brands of Imported
Turkish nnd Egyptian cigarettes.
Among the flavors used are coffee, tea,
valerian, lemon, orange, geranium,
sassafras, thyme, anise, mint nnd cin
namon. Gum nnd glycerin nre occa
sionally employed to bind the tolmevo
particles so that they shall not crumble
Into dust. The various Ingredients are
made Into a klud of sauce, Into which
the tobacco leaves are dipped or with
w hlch they are sprinkled. Loudon

The Beit Machines.
The Idea that pence could be the
normal relatlou of the nations never
entered Napoleon's head or tho head
of any nmu about him, declares A.
L. Klellnnd In "Napoleon's Men and
Methods." Iu his mind pence could
only mean a pause between two wars.
He had no Idea to give to the world.
Sis thoughts did not go beyond his
own life. He shrinks at once In com
parlson with a man of science, who ex
ponds his life to create n thought that
will nourish and elevate posterity.
If Napoleon reached the highest sum
mlt of a prince and a commander, he
was also the last who succeeded In
gathering about his person all the
glamour that had leen wont to accom
pany nnd ndorn tho bloody business
of wnr. There wns no more of It after
his fall. War became afterward an
ncademlc study. Military affairs came
to resemble Industrial Interests, in
which It Is the best machines thatgoln
the victory.
We now strip our armies of their
gold cords and wnvlng plumes. The
admiral, who used to stand on the
bridge In his gnln uniform, with his
decorations and sash, now sits In a
steel box and presses buttons like a
telephone girl. When the glamour goes
from n thing It Is near Its end.
The Greatest General.
All things duly considered, the great
est general of whom we have any
knowledge was In nil probability the
Carthaginian. Hannibal. All the In
formation we have of Hannibal comes
from his enemies, and yet what
achievements they were forced to cred
it htm with: The second runic war
the most brilliant in history wns prac
tically one man n gainst a whole na
tion, and that the strongest then
known. With the nnny that he had
molded out of raw and bnrbnrous
levies Hannibal had to fight a nation
of the stoutest and best trained war
riors of ancient times, and he had to
do this without nny assistance from
home. It has lxcu well said thnt there
Is nowhere else nn example of whnt a
single man of genius may ncbleve
gainst the most tremendous odds.

The Color of Jade.
The Idea of Jade possessing the vir
tue of bringing the wearer food for
tune arose In China, where the stone
Is so valued that the finding of n par
ticularly line piece causes the state to
take possession of the land where it
was found. The lest specimens rep-
resent all the hues nnd effects of sea
foam, but these are eagerly snapped
up by collectors nnd seldom come Into
the public market. There is nnother
cause for the popularity of Jade. Its
peculiar green tinge has the effect of
ninktug the hiimnn skin look very
white. In this connection the quality
of the stone Is of no nccount so long
ns the color Is there. Indeed, many
of the less expensive jade ornaments
nre made from chips of the stone
which contain noticeable flaws. rear-son's.

A New Delight
Foods Shot from Guns
There are myriads of homes where
these foods are not new these deli
cious Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice.
The people who know them are
already serving seventeen million
dishes per month.
But to millions of others these foods
remain a new and unknown delight.
And to those this appeal is addressed.
The appeal is to try one package
just for the children's sake.
Serve it tomorrow morning. Listen
to what they say. Then ask them
what food they want next.
Wheat and rice are common foods,
prepared in numerous ways. See if
this way is best.
We make all sorts of cereal foods,
so it matters little to us which kind
you prefer.
But it means much to you to get
the food that you like best. See if
Puffed Wheat is that food.
Puffed Wheat-lOc Puffed Rice-15c
These are the foods invented by Prof. An
derson, and this is his curious process:
The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into
scaled guns. Then the guns are revolved for
sixty minutes in a heat of 550 degrees.
That fierce heat turns the moisture in the
grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tremendous.
Then the guns are unsealed, and the steam
explodes. Instantly every starch granule is
blasted into a myriad particles.
The kernels of grain are expanded eight
times. Yet the coats are unbroken, the shapes
are unaltered. We have simply the magnified
grain.
One package will tell you why people de
light in them. Order it now.

There are several very good reasons why this suit stock is entitled to
the consideration of suit buyers. There's the very im
portant fact that we're conducting a
1 November Siit Sale, !
Which, to date, has been the mnst aucceaaful suit rale of the year.
Upward of 50 8iiii.-tllt.50, 118,50, 820 and 822.60, priced 814.50,
814.75, 816 60, 816 75, 818 50 and 818 75. But those fifty odd suits
are a small part of the suit assortment this store has to oiler.
There's a suit maker on upper Fifth Avenue, New York, who
makes a specialty of reproducing high priced imported Paris models
for retail at 825. This woik, originally, was done exclusively for
certain New York retail stores Then as his business grew and ex
panded and he was able to make more suits than his New York cus
tomers could use he extended his territory. The handsomest 825
Suits we have come from this suit maker.
He employs the highest skilled tailors, There's a very apparent
superiority io the materials he uses. Each suit seems to have a
certain distinct tone and character. The lioes are cut over perfect
models and you're conscious of that fact the moment you put one of
these suits nn. Lastly there's an air of exclusive tailoring ab ut
I these 825 Suits that immediately attr-.cta your attention. Much of J
T this department's suit prestige is due to these 825 .Suits. X
