SLEEPINESS AFTER MEALS.
Notice Masons
14 Indicate* Something Wrong With tha
Digaativa System.
A condition of drowsiness, which
may become an Irresistible desire to
take a uap shortly after eating. la
usually a very accurate Indication that
something la wrong with the digestive- E. A. degree,
apparatus. Usuully this form of Indi-
gestion is chronic la character, uml ap-
pureutly there is no other evidence thai
it exists, or at least such evidence
would not be detected by ordinary ob-
servation.
In sucb cases tbe desire to take a nap
comes on suddenly, hut the uup Is u
very short one. ordinarily not more
than fifteen minutes. Sometimes the
desire for these "Indigestion haps"
comes on at other periods thau those
immediately following meals, hut In
such cases this desire comes regularly
ut certain periods of the day. The
cuuse, however, Is the Hume as In cuses
where drowsiness comes on Immediate-
ly after the meal, the difference In time
jieing'stmply the difference in the In
tetval required for the food to reach
the portion of the Intestinal tract that
Is not working properly.
Occasional drowsiness following an
unusually hearty meal should not be
1 on fused with the typo of periodic de-
slro for a short uap referred to here.
Such drowsiness Indicate rnply that
the digestive apparatus h. temporarily
overworked and may bo in a perfectly
healthy condition. This sort of drowsi-
ness, If Indulged, usuully persists for
several hours, whereas the mips caused
by indigestion aie always of short du-
ration. - Exchange.

Natives of Australia Are Wizard* In

In endurance and speed tbe Aus-
tralian aborigine Is not the equal of
tbe American Indian, aud his weapons
of wood and poorly fashioued atones
are effective only at short range, hut
as a hunter the native Australian U
marvelously adjusted to his environ-
ment. Ills success lies In an Intimate
knowledge of the habits of animals on

powers of observation.

Ona Hundred a O ay Flock to New
Yoik Tempting Fat*.
One hundred women n du.v come cu-
reer Keeking In New York city. This is
the tiguic furnished by Director C. B
Burns of the state bureau of employ
meut. lie bases his estimate upon tin*
number of women handled daily by
the Travelers’ Aid, the number regis-
tered at hotels aud those registered by
the state bureau uud other employ-
ment agencies.
One hundred women a day, 30,500 a
year. A fraction over four every hour:
approximately ouo every time the min-
ute hand crosses the fifteen minute
ruurk*
Mr. Burns estimates that a large per-
eentago of career seekers come from tip
state and towns about New York and
New Jersey. Probably 50 per cent, he
says, come from western states. The
smallest portion of the number comes
from the south. Some succeed; more
fail. Vet always others come, answer-
ing the cab of the minute hand us It
mills round and round like the linger
of Fate, beckoning.
Statistics are impersonal. They say
nothing of w ho the women are nor why
they come nor what they’ Uml instead
of what they expect They don't say
there's tragedy In a head shake. Aud
u laugh round the edge of tragedy.
Statistics haven't told the whole
story. They do not say that hope,
promise, disaster wult a hundred times

Message* To*/ Cut, Are Packed In

The general notion that all (hut has
to be done in forwarding a dispatch by
pigeons is to catch the bird, tie u let-
ter to Its leg uud then liberate it Is
wrong, as tbe method of attaching the
message 'a of greul Importance.
I’rloi to the siege of l’urla the meth-
od of affixing the message to the bird
had not received thut attention which
It demanded, and consequently many
dispatches were tost In transit.
At first tbo message was merely
rolled up tightly, waxed over to pro
tact It from the weuther and then at-
tached to a feather In the bird’s tall.
But It was soon found that the twine
which kept the missive In place cut or
damaged the iwiper, and therefore In
order to prevent It from being- pecked
by the pigeon and from being Injured
by wet the dispatch was Inserted lu u
small goosequlll two luilies in length.
The qtitli was then pierced close to
each end with a red I lot tiodklu, so as
not to spilt It, ami In the holes waxed
silk threads weie inserted to ulllx It to
flie strongest tab feather. By attach-
ing the message to this part of the
bird's body its flight was not In any
way Interfered with.— Bono S* out.

REELS
The Popular Side of the Street.
Owners or renters of retail stores
should look out for the side of the
street on which the property Is located.
Illustrative of this is the testimony of
a real estate expert In a ease some time
ago that ground lioors on the west side
of Broadway, New York, should lease
for $150 a front foot more than slmilur
property across the street. The value
of u retail business depends on the
number of passersby, aud the difference
in Ibis respect may result Hi u booming
trade on one side of u street aud only
moderate success on the other. Some
men are ulile to acquire such a reputu
tion for their goods that the people go
to them even when they are Inconven
lently located, but it is a good deal eas
ier in building up u trade to put your
self on the route traversed by the
crowds.—Leslie's.
Even Kipling Will Pun.
There is a new story about Mr. Kip-
ling, for which (S. F. Monkshood is re-
sponsible, having brought it out In his
book, "The Less Familial Kipling and
Kiplinganu." It appears thnt a friend
asked Kipling whether he would not
write on airmen, as he had done on the
commanders t ’<) crews of submarines.
“Perhaps, some day,” replied Mr. Kip-
ling. ‘Oh, hut you must!" insisted his
friend. “Let’s see whether we cun hit
on a good title." , “Well,” said Mr
Kipling, afler a moment’s, reflection,
"what do you say to 'Plane Tails From
the Sky ?’
Might Have Been Worse.
A Wisconsin man says that he was
held up to ridicule because some one
painted a harness on his horse. But
that's nothing to the fun that would
have been created If he'd led a set of
Harness from the barn and then found
that the horse within It was only a

Hunting the Emu.
The natives of Australia are Ingen-
ious. A black on discovering emus
feeding on a plain will cover his back
and head with an emu skin, allowing
It to Iking down well on the side to-
ward the unsuspecting birds In Ills
right hand he will carry hidden by the
skin a boomerang and one or two
throwing sticks or “waddles." Then
Ids 'eft arm will protrude beyond the
skin straight out to the elbow, and the
forearm will be bent up. with the hand
at right angles to It thereby making a
capital Imitation of an emu s head and
neck Now uml then Ins hand or head
will be brought to the ground us If for
feeding, and as the black walks along
he imitates every (notion of the bird
while at the same time by means of
the big toe be draws a spear along the
ground. He proceeds thus until close
enough to spear his bird.
