MAN-A-LIN Is An
Excellent Remedy
for Constipation.
There are many ailments di
rectly dependent upon constipa
tion, such as biliousness, discol
ored and pimpled skin. Inactive
liver, dyspepsia, overworked kid
neys and headache.
Remove constipation and
all of these ailments dis
appear. MAN-A-LIN can be relied up
on to produce a gentle action of
the bowels, making pills and dras
tic cathartics entirely unneces
sary: A dose or two of Man-a-lin
is advisable in slight febrile
attacks, la grippe, colds and
influenza.

Reported successful experiments
have been conducted In a Yorkshire
mine with two kinds of artificial
breathing apparatus to enable re:i
curers to work In Irresplrnble air af
ter an explosion. A portion of the
mine had been provided with the con
ditions existing after an explosion.
Four men were equipped with the
contrivances and remained in the
place several hours engaged; in such
work as would be necessary after in
explosion. It is believed that these
devices would enable a corps of
trained men to enter a mine filled
with foul air, to restore the ventila
tion and to save many lives.

"The nest building habit," said a
well known naturalist in a recent
lecture, "Is generally associated with
birds, but thero are other members
of the animal kingdom which Indulge
In It. 8trange to relate, some of the
most typical examples are to be found
among the fishes!
"Probably the best known finny
nest builder Is the little stickleback,
which Is found commonly In brack
ish water. The male alone Is able
to build a. nest. When the matin
season arrives the little bachelor's
thoughts are centered upon provid
ing n nest. The site selected Is gen
erally among the stems of aquatic
plants, whore the water always flows,
but not too swiftly. He first begins
by carrying small hits of green ma
terial, which he nips off the stalls
and tugs from out the bottom and
sides of the banks. These ho at
taches by some glutinous material
that he has the power of secreting
to the different stems destined as pil
lars for his building. During this
operation he swims against the work
already done, splashes about and
seems to test Its durability and
strength, rubs himself against the
tiny platform and scrapes the mucus
from his sides to use as mortar. Then
he thrusts his nose Into the sand at
the bottom, and, bringing up a
mouthful, scatters it over the foun
dation. This Is repeated until
enough hns been thrown on to weight
the slender fabric down and give Its
substance and stability; then more
twists, turns and splashlngs to test
the firmness of the foundation.
Collecting Materials.
"The foundation once complete,
the next operation Is to collect ma
terials, chiefly rleces of straw, roots,
leaves, etc., and build the walls of
the tiest. The nest, or nursery, when
completed, Is a hollow, somewhat
rounded, barrel-shaped structure,
worked together much in the same
way as the platform fastened to the
water plants, the whole firmly glued
together.
"The inside of the nest is made as
smooth as possible by a kind of plas
tering system; the little architect
and builder continually goes in. then
turning 'round and 'round works the
mucus from his body on to the inner
sides of the nest, where It hardues
like tough varnish. Two apertures
are constructed In (he nest, one for
Ingress and the other . for egress.
They nre smooth and symmetrical as
tho hole leading into a wren's nest,
and not unlike It.
Looking For a Mute.
"As soon as the nest is completed
Mr. Stickleback begins to cast his
eyes around for a suitable mate.
Watch him as he swims toward a
group of the fair sex enjoying them
selves amid the water plants. Ar
rayed In his best and brightest livery,
all smiles and amiability; steadily
and in the most approved style of
stickleback love making this young
bachelor pleads his suit, generally
with success. Then the pair return
to the nest, In which tho female de
posits her eggs, emerging when the
operation is completed by the oppo
site hole. On the female leaving he
immediately enters, deposits tho milt
on the eggs, taking his departure
through the back door. And now
comes the saddest part of all. Imme
diately after leaving the nest he
seeks another lad; love, introduces
her as he did the first and so on, wife
after wife, until the nest Is filled With
eggs, layer upon layer. He then de
votes all his time to guarding the
eggs In his nest until the young are
hatched out and have attained an age
at which they can shift for them
selves.
Shelter For Dry Shells.
"Nearly all the nest building fishes
construct nestB for tho purpose of
holding their eggs, but the African
mudfish builds one for his own sal
vation. The rivers which this spe
cies inhabits are liable to protracted
droughts each year. When such n
drought is imminent the fish retires
to the deoper water and excavates a
pit, In which It lies, covering itself
over with a thick layer of mud. Thus
sheltered it can suffer the complete
drying up of the river, as being gifted
with lungs as well as gillB it breathes
air directly through an aperture left
In the top of the nest. The rains of
the west season dissolve the mud and
liberate the fish. Sometimes theBe
fish are dug out from their nests and
eaten by the natives. Others have
been shipped thousands of miles in
those nests and when the mud was
dissolved In warmish water the fish
came forth as lively us ever.
"It Is doubtful whether protective
mimicry among fishes. is better emem
plifled than In tho case of the species
commonly known as the marbled an
gler. As it is a poor swimmer It
upends most of Its time clinging to the
floating masses of sargassum weed,
to rest, on which, from Its peculiar
armlike pectoral fins, It Is specially
fitted; and the color markings of the
fish closely resemble the weed Itself,
so much so, In fact, that It is very
difficult t distinguish It. Not only
does the weed thus furnish a home
lor this species, but the fish actually
constructs a nsst from It and therein
deposits its eggs. Each nest is made
of one seaweed; tho different 'twigs'
being brought together and niade fast
to each other by means of silkllko
fibers, probably socreted by the par
ent, as In the sticklebacks. The eggs
are attached by more fibers to the
nest, from which they hang like larg?
clusters of grapes. To the Euperficial
observer the whole thing looks like
a tangled mass of seaweed floating
on the surface, a most common Bight.
"In Brazil Is fouud a fish shaped
somewhat like an til which burrows
In the mud during the dry season.
During the wet season the animal
stores up In its system a reserve of
fat, and then when the dry soason
arrives and . lio rivers dry up It con
structs a deep tubular burrow In
which It doubles up with head and
tall together. The mouth of the sur
row Is dosed with a most Ingenious
ly constructed mud flup through
which are several small perforations,
which lermlt th animal to breathe
.ir directly, as It Is also on of th?
few species gifted with both lungH
and gills. While Inclosed In Its nest
the fish Is frequently dug out by the
natives, who highly prize Its flesh.
In the period of Incubation It lives
upon the reserve of fat accumulated
during the rainy season. When the
early rains soften the soil the fish
emerges from Its burrow and resumes
Its aquatic existence. This Is n ver
rare species, but few specimens hav
ing ever come Into the possession of
scientists.
Male Guards Kgg.
"In Lakes Huron and Erie, and In
some of tho Interior lakes of Ne r
York, Is found the bowfln. At the
beginning of the breeding season tho
fish makes its way from the deeper
water, where it has remained rluc
glsh during tho winter, to the spawn
ing ground, which Is usually at the
swampy end of a lake where there Is
an nbundance of aquatic herbage In
tersected by channels of clear water.
Here the fish circles 'round and
'round until the soft weeds and root
lets are bent, and crushed aside so as
to leave a crude form of nest, where
the eggs nre deposited, adhering to
the nest In enormous numbers. The
male remains on guard until the eggs
are hatched out, when the young ap
pear to leave the nest In a body, still
under the watchful care of the father,
who keeps the swarm together by
circling 'round and 'round It.
Oik- Ingenious .Nest.
"Tho gouraml, or paradise fish,
builds a very Ingenious nest. A
muddy bottom Is generally selected
for this purpose. The fish prefers to
use for the nest tufts of peculiar
grasB, which prows on the surface of
the water and whose floating roots,
rising and falling with the move
ment of the water, form natural gal
leries, under which the fish can con-
coal themselves. The nest Is con
structed by entangling the steni3 and
leaves, Intermingled with blades of
grass, and is of a nearly spherical
form much resembling in shape those
of some birds, and when completed
Is attached among the plants in one
corner of tho pond. After the eggs
havo been deposited In t he nest both
parents carefully guard It for a
month, when the young are hatched
out, and then continue their loving
care until tho young are large enough
to shift for themselves.
"The wrasses of the Atlantic ocean
also build nests during the breedins
season. These are generally built
in crevices of rocks. Tho nest Is
usually In the shape of a crescent
and Is six or seven Inches wide nt Its
widest part, and twelve Indies high,
and is made generally of tufts of
eorallne, seaweed, zoophytes, broken
shells, etc., fixed together at their
bases by a semi-solid mucus. It Is
the work of both the male and the
female. There is a small opening
leading Into the centre of the nest.
A very remarkable thing about these
nests Is that they are generally built
at half tide mark, which leaves them
exposed to the air at least twelve
hours each day six hours at a tide.
Tho fish have been seen jumping out
of the water in order to reach tho
nests when the tide is rising, but had
not yet reached the nest. It was in
this family of fishes that sleep wu
first observed in fishes, that fish when
in an aquarium seeking a sleeping
place at night and lying down on one
side.
"Gobies, which are found in almost
all quarters of the globe, sometime
build nests. The nest Is usually made
of some mollusk shell or of the cara
pace of a crab, with the convex side
turned upward and cov..ed with
sand. The Band underneath the shell
Is hollowed out and a round opening
at the side, coated by a mucus M
creted by the skin of the male fish,
gives-access to the Interior. The
eggs, when ready, are stuck to the
Inner surface of the shell forming
the roof.
"An Australian catfish forms a
mound or nest In which to deposit its
eggs. This nest Is formed either o!
sandy grit of pebbles "If the latter
are available" and is often at least
three feet in diameter. The fish are
said to carry pebbles in their t-ioutha
to the desired spot.
"Certain catflshes construct nest.i
about eight Inches by six inches. This
nest, which Is always located in a
spot where the water Is quiet and
there are plenty of aquatic plants,
has n Boft water envelope, and after
the female has deposited her eggs In
It the male hovers over It, forcing
fresh water through the masB by
rapid vibrations of his fins until after
about a week they are hatched. The
parents Jealously guard the eggs
from all enemies.
"Many of the nests nre nothing but
shallow holes scooped out of the
sandy bottom by the fins and snouts
of the fishes. Such are tho nests of
the black bass and salmon. The lit
tle fresh water 'Miller's Thumb' and
the larger marine 'bullheads' deposit
their egge on stones, weeds or other
submerged objects, or in a sort of
rough nest, und here they are guard
ed by the male. The lumpsuckers,
when the breeding season arrives,
prepare a nest by digging a pit . be
tween two stones at the bottom of a
shallow portion of the sea. In which
the female deposits several hundred
thousand eggs."
Scorching at Meals.
Lawrence Mutt, author and auto
mobillst, condemned scorching at a
dinner.
"I condemn," he said, "scorchinc;
and the scorcher, but I don't, con
demn the Bcorcher unheard. 1 den t

Hasty condemnation Is always a mis

Making Inventories.
P.y EDWARD WILI.ISTON FRKNTZ.
The appraising of personal estate
and the making Inventories of tho
contents of stores and private resi
dences Is one of those businesses
which goes on continually, hut so
quickly that iitlle Is haard of It. The
growing tendency of wealthy pcrsoni
to carry an adequate insurance upon
their furniture, books, pictures, anil
the other things in their homes has
given considerable Impetus to thi?:
industry, and has created a demand
for the most comprehensive and exact
knowledge an equipment which few
women possess, but which Is bringing
very handsome returns to those who
do posBess It.
Tho business of appraising, or
rather ot making Inventories, em
braces tho wholo range of human
knowledge. Indeed, its motto might
very well be the old Latin sentiment:
"Nothing of humnu Interest Is for
eign to mo." The object is to give
a man such a list of the things he
owns, and so arranged, so as to
enable him, In case of lire or bur
glary, to tell at once what his loss
has been; and In the one event to se
cure his Insurance money, and In the
Dther to recover the goods. The ad
vantage of such a list Is zo evident
to men of lurge possessions, to col
lectors of books or lovers of old lace
or china, or connoisseurs of paint
ings that the business is constantly
growing; but to be of even the slight
est value the list must be accurate.
Here conies In the appraiser's skill,
and here is the demand for specially
trained women.
No college will Impart this train
ing. It must be acquired by actual
practice and experience; but an edu
cation, If It Is good for anything,
should have trained the faculty of ob
servation and strengthened the mem
ory, and both those things are useful
In this work.
A still more practical equipment Is
the absolute mastery of some one de
partment of knowledge. It. may be
books or book-binds, or silks or lace
or etchings or furniture; but it must
be thorough in its own field. Ths I ;
pert In book-bindings insist be ,'a oil
lar with all the famous binders both
of the past and of the present, so that
she can make no mistake in the kind
of leather used, and can see at a
glance whether an ornamr.nt is hand
tooled or machine-struck. She will
look at the pores in the leather of
one binding, and because she finds
them in peculiar groups will pro
nounce It sheep. Another she knows
is calf because the pore3 are evenly
distributed.
If her specialty is furniture, she
will be able to tell you the character
istics of Chippendale and Sheraton,
and the difference between birch ;md
maple, and how bay-wood is treated
to make it look like San Domingo
mahogany.
Another girl picks up a piece of
velvet and says, "This is Scuthii. it
Is made only in one place, on the
Eosphorus. I know all about It."
Surh knowledge as this is more
likely to be acquired at first In the
pursuit of a fad than with the de
liberate purpose of turning It to
financial account; but tho possession
of such u fad is a good stepping
stone to the business of making in
ventories. Even then the beginner
will usually receive not more than
six dollars a week until she has dem
onstrated her ability. Sho will most
likely he set at work on some task
which includes her specialty, hut em
braces something more, and her suc
cess will be measured both by the
extent of the knowledge which she
displays In her peculiar field and by
the Intelligence which she manifest
In gathering information outside of
it. if she has nn accurate and com
prehensive knowledge of severs!
things she will be able to command
from three to ten dollars a day.
The business of making inventor
ies is not yet, and indeed may never
be, one in which a large number of
girls can find employment; but for
the exceptional girl it offers a new
and attractive opening, In which thero
Is not only a high standard o!' pay
ment for the work itself, but excel
lent opportunity for collateral em
ployment, such as the giving of ex
pert opinion in special cases. From

An Audacious Fool,

was Trlboulet, the favorite Jester of
Francis I. It was reported that His
Majesty, who was of a very generous
nature, had acceded to a request of
Charles V.. Emperor of Germuny,
that he might pass through France
on his wuy to the Netherlands. Put
ting aside a recollection of what he
had suffered at the Emperor's hands
while a captive in Spaip. Francis was
preparing to receive Charles with
much ceremony and splendor. Ob

he was doing.
I have just added the name of
Emperor Charles of Germany to my
list of fools," answered the jester, "a
sovereign who Is committing the In
credible folly of Intrusting himself
to you by passlug through your king
dom." "Folly? How If I should let him
pass safely?"
"Then I shall substitute your nunn
