"A what, mamma?"
"A coni-pro-mlso. That means half

Every one it bo has ever been a child
villi recall that sense of Injury entailed
by being sent to bed early that convic
tion that you were being deprived of the
most Interesting part of the whole day.
There Is really no knowing what tho
elders are up to whon once they get
the youngsters tucked up safe In bed,
but It stands to reason It must be very
Interesting, or why would thoy be In
such a hurry to get the youngsters out
or tho way?
With some children this amounts to
more than mcro feeling. It wub a little
girl of the latter sort who begged so
hard to sit up Just for once that her
mother ono evening, not so long ago,
said that she 'might. How the little
girl's eyes danced at the prospect of all
the wonderful things she would sec for
herself upon this her first occasion of
"sitting upl" How commlseratlngly
she regal ded tho other children who
were as usual packed off to bed at an
early hourl She Beated herself In her
small chair and eagerly awaited devel
opments. But Imagine her surprlso When her
parents, as was their custom, seated
themselves at the library table and, un-
sociably, but hyglenlcally, turning their
backs to the light, began to read. For
some time the little girl rocked away

Most children are fond of keeping
rabbits. The varieties most generally
preferred are the tame ones Himalay
an and Dutch rabbits and Belgian
hares as these are hardy and not ex
pensive. They must bo kept In a
warm, sheltered place and bo provided
with roomy hutches and a grass run If
possible. Rabbits are very fastidious
animals and will scarcely ever touch
musty or stale food. Variety In food Is
essential to their health.
Too much green food Is hurtful;
therefore glvo a little grain once a
day. They may have peas which havo
been soaked and dried oats, tares, hay,
bran, sliced carrots, turnips, lawn
mow Ings, dandelions, milk, thistles and
a little oil cake occasionally, dive wa
ter night and morning, but do not Icaie

draw must be supplied and the hutch

Joe McCormlck of tbo International
Tulp company tells a delicious story of
paper making In Connecticut, which
shows that operating a mill Is not such
n serious matter as theso big proprie
tors would havo us believe. Strolling
along tho countryside In haymaking
time, Mr. McCormlck happened on a
little paper mill which buzzed merrily
In a shady dell, with everything clean
and sweet around It. A look In the
office showed no one there, and the vis
itor then wandered over tho mill, hop
ing to find some one to whom he could
talk business. Tho machine was hum
ming along, and It seemed Impossible
that there should be no one In attend
ance. Itpt even shouting failed to bring
forth signs of life, and Mr. McCormlck
was about to leave when he spied
some men In a ha) field some distance
away.
"I say," he called out to the nearest
one when he got within bearing, "who
runs this mill?"
"I do," was tho reply.
"Well, who's the owner?"
"Why, I am, to be sure."
"Do you mean to say that the mill
runs Itself?"
"Cert. We start her up at 0 In tho
morning, and she runs till 0 In tho
evening. This mill's been weaned,

phase of preciosity led up to the

Mme. Campan, whose advice may be
said to havo formed a whole genera

system: "With 12 at table, talk ojages
and lltciature; with eight, the flue arts,
science, Invention; with six, politics or
philosophy; with four, sentiment, ro
mantic adventure; with two, talk of
yourself; egoism belongs to the tete-a-tete."

Dr. IUmsey's new method of Dry
Air Medication Is admitted to be
second to none In the treatment and
cure of chroilo catarrhal conditions.
The treatment Is mild and painless;
It con be easily administered to

It Is tho only rational method of
treating this class of diseases, and
Is strictly up to date In every tense
of tho word.
Inhalation of medicated dry air
opens up, cleanses, soothes and

Nearly evory case cf la grippe leaves

which, milcA- it Is cured, renders the
patient liable to chronic bronchitis

grippo often causes chronic catarrh;

ever to check the progress of catar

That tho deadly Grip visited Akron

It will again visit Akron this winter
Is no longer a question. To ho fore

TH E NATURE OFTHE DISEASK.
There nie many cases of La Grippo
that are so mild as to be overlooked,
particularly If the Individual be of
robust constitution, or If he bo con
servatively disposed and carefully
guarded. Exposure, ,hlch develops
the condition called cold, a catarrhal
state of the nlr passage Invites La
Grippo, as It Invites every other In
fectious dlseae whoso chief port of
entry Is tho air passage. A run
down state of the system from over
work, dissipation or existence of
somo chronic disease also Invites La
Grippe, as It does other Infections.
In almost all cases, the air passages
are peculiarly disturbed, and often
closely resemble only an ordinary
cold or catarrh, with slight fevr,
dryness and tickling of the mucous
membranes lining tho nose, follow il
by an Increase In becretlon. This
may also Involve tbo throataud even
the bronchial tube.. Such cases. If
neglected or not rrperly managed,
may rapidly proceed to cfcter-bal
pneumonia by tlii extension of tho
disturbance down, by continuity of
the surface. In severer and moro
violent casus, the nosy symptoms
may he entirely absent, the attack
belnn sudden and accompanied by
a i intense highfover.andsuggestlng
surely to the careful oberver a dan
gerous infection, a pneumonia, n
meningitis (either catarrhal or
croupous), or something else ns ser
ious. One striking feature Is a bovere
disturbance of the nervous system.
Great nervous depression Is often
present without apparant Justifica
tion In the light cases. Among the
early symptoms are headache, pain
In the back and legs, and a general
soreness all over tho body, as If
bruised or beaten. Thero are but
fow diseases which present these
symptoms In so pronounced a way.
It is well to bear In mind that tbo
great majority of cases of La Grippe
do not present the serious and dan-
If n pair of herrings could be left to
breed and multiply undisturbed tor a
period of 20 years, tbey would yield an
amount of fish equal In bulk to the
