BABY'S OWN TABLETS Has Shown One Mother There is Nothing to Equal Them. A constant use of Baby's Own Tab- lets for thelr children has proven to Sunlight After Storm. (It had been wild weather when I left Rome, and all across the Campag- phurous blue, with a clap of thunder or two, and breaking of sun +along-the Slaudian aqueduct, lighting | up the infinity of its arches like the bridge of chaos. But as I climbed the long slope of the Alban Mount, the storm swept finally to the north, and the noble outline of the domes of Al bano, and graceful darkness of its lex rose against pure streaks of alternate blue and amber; the upper sky grad- ually flushing through the last frag- ments of rain-cloud in deep palpitating azure, half aether and half dew. The nnonday sun came slanting down the ! rocky slopes of La Riccla, and its masses of entangled and tall folage, | whose autumnal tints were mixed with the wet verdure of a thousand ever- greens, were penetrated with It as with rain. I cannot call it color, it was conflagration. Purple, and crim- son, and let, lke the curtains of God's tabernacle, the rejoicing trees sank into the valley in showers of light, every separate leaf quivering as it turned to reflect or to transmit the sunbeam, first a torch' and then an emerald. Far up into the | recesses of the valley, the green vistas thousands of mothers that they are without an equal for babyhood and! childhood ailments. One mother, Mrs. | C. W.

No people on earth are so*poetical In their speech as the Arabs of the desert. | Whenever they have anything to say they wrap the story with fancy words, almost. in poetry. Here Is an example of a very old 'one, of an Arab writing of his pipe: "The Apostrophe of El Din Attar to His Pipe "0, wife of the soul, thou hrt wiser than any who abide in the harem: A _| maker of peace thou art-and a builder of prudence between temptation and the hour of decision. "Can anger abide with the pipe, or a gnat in the smoke of the tent-fire? Lo, wine is but wine for the simple, anda pipe but a pipe tor the foolish, and what is a song to the dumb, or a rose to the | eye that is blind? "A bud of the rose findeth June on the breast of the dark-eyed; a song | must be sung by the heart of the hear er. And these are the pipe and the smoker. Also of it the kings hath no tore joy than the beggar, saith El Din | Attar." i The Arab women also write. Here is a sample of woman speaking of wo- man: "These women. How many a rich man have they not paupered, how many a powerful man have they not prostrated, and how many a superior man have they not enslaved! Indeed, they reduce the sage and send the saint to shame and brihg the wealthy to want, and plunge the fortune-fa- vored into penury.

The recent plight of the Argentine | bunter who unwittingly set his tent on 'a moving island and was floated to a' marshy tract during the night again illustrates the danger of these "no- madic" forests to the unwary. Lake Orion, in the State of Michigan, ! owns, perhaps, the most mysterious | as well as the most celebrated of these geographical enigmas. It has long per- plexed sclentists how thls island ap | pears floating on the surface during | one period of the year and then dis- | | appears to rest at the bottom of the! 'lake for the rest of the year. | | It appears on the surface regularly lat the middle of August, and remains | an Island till Februury 16th each year, | when it Is engulfed and sinks to the' bottom. Many efforts have heen made ' to probe the mystery, but every at- disappearance has ended In failure. | As the island Is quite an unwanted one, attempts were made at one time to end its career by loading it with tone of stones. The Island disappeared | as usual at its proper time, but the 16th .of the following August found it drying on the surface again. Another island with a spirit for ad- venture is the floating island in Henry's Lake, situated in a depresglon lot the Rocky Mountains, called Tar- gee's Pass.
