SIMON MAGUS. The Legend From Which Was Born the Story of Faust. Almost every renowned man of antiquity in the middle ages was believed to be attended by a spiritus familiaris and not a few were suspected of being in direct league with the devil. Probably the oldest legend of which the Faust legend is a continuous thread is that of Simon Magus, mentioned in the history of the apostles. According to Justin, he was a native of Gitton, a village in Samaria. He was, no doubt, a man of great intellectual powers. He was the father of the school of the Gnostics. It is also reported of him that he could make himself invisible, that he could pass through flames unharmed, could transpose matter, make gold and exorcise demons—in fact, he laid claim to all these powers, and his name lived in the mouths of the people as a sort of demurge through many centuries until some other miracle working personality took his place at the popular fireside. Unusual accomplishments, great erudition, were attributed to the supernatural influence and the general disposition to superstitious assumption was strengthened on the one hand by dogmatic affirmation on the part of the church of the existence of a personal Satan, with his numerous household, and, on the other hand, by incorporating the magic arts among the practical sciences, of which astrology and alchemy occupied no mean part. THE ODD LITTLE GECKO. A Queer Animal That Lives In Africa and Southern Europe. The gecko is an odd little creature. His name is seldom heard, and his form is seldom seen, for he lives in Africa and the southern countries of Europe.

The education of their children matter of no small interest to fectionate Chinese mothers watch the little one from the birth, to note superstitious signs him cry lustily, and he will say the old grannies.

The gecko is an odd little creature. His name is seldom heard, and his form is seldom seen, for he lives in Africa and the southern countries of Europe. This little gecko has so many strange ways and there is something so uncanny in his appearance that the people of the countries where he lives are rather afraid of him, believing his bite to be poisonous, although this is denied by naturalists. He is a little creature, with a broad, flat head, like a snake, and a long body, with a narrow tail, with odd shaped bits of skin arranged like scallops along the sides of it. He has short legs and queer, catlike claws, which enable him to easily climb the old walls and rocks upon which he lives, catching the insects of various sorts which make his dinner. He is a nocturnal animal, walking abroad at night and sleeping in the daytime. He moves with sudden rushes and without any noise whatever. His odd name was given him from the queer noise he makes, which is something like the noise you would make to start a horse with. The male gecko is of a gray color, so near the RUNNING THE GAME This Punishment Was Once Military Discipline The following extracts give information concerning the punishment "running the gantlet:" "In running the gantlet was formed six deed ranks opened and faced invading being furnished with an offender, naked to the wall through the ranks, preceded by a giant, the point of whose rebellion was presented to his bride vent his running too fast. Passed through the ranks he gave him a stroke."—Grosse Antiquities," volume 2, page 187. But the oldest notice I have given in "Monro—His Experience the Worthy Scots Regiment Mackeyes Regiment), Levengust, 1626, Etc. London." THE above picture of the man and fish is the trademark of Scott's Emulsion, and is the synonym for strength and purity. It is sold in almost all the civilized countries of the globe. If the cod fish became extinct it would be a world-wide calamity, because the oil that comes from its liver surpasses all other fats in nourishing and life-giving properties. Thirty years ago the proprietors of Scott's Emulsion found a way of preparing cod liver oil so that everyone can take it and get the full value of the oil without the objectionable taste. Scott's Emulsion is the best thing in the world for weak, backward children, thin, delicate people, and all conditions of wasting and lost strength. Send for free sample.

Treatment Recommended for Spring Use The following recommendations relative to the prevention of walnut blight or bacteriosis are based upon several years of careful experiments by the United States department of agriculture. They are given to enable the growers of walnuts throughout the state to take advantage of work of the department on this disease so far as the experiments have progressed. The following treatment will reduce the loss one-half: PREVENTATIVE MEASURES 1. All infected trees should be pruned carefully to remove branches showing the action of the disease of the previous year. Remove dead tips of limbs, especially those of last year's growth, cutting well back of the diseased parts. Also cut away small limbs which show the blackened scars of the past year's disease, where the organism causing the disease winters in the pith cavity. Burn all prunings. 2. Spray the dormant trees thoroughly with the Bordeaux mixture. This work will give best results if done some two weeks before spring growth begins. All portions of the tree should be treated, special attention being given to the wood of the past year. 3. Spray the trees a second time as soon as the nuts are firmly set, using the same spray and making a special effort to treat the young nuts While You Are Alive. Life as it comes to you.

A famous sculpture group recently exhibited in Glasgow represents Adam and Eve after they had left Eden. Eve, in despair, lies at Adam's feet. Through a mistake an intelligent attendant placarded it with this description: "Motherless." At the same exhibition was a sleeping nymph, by a well known sculptor, which by another mistake appeared in the catalogue as "Mrs. —," greatly to the horror of Glasgow. A Sunday school boy recently gave this account of the prophet Elijah: "Elijah, the prophet, was carried into heaven by a whirlwind, and the children stood up and cried: 'Go up, thou baldhead! Go up, thou baldhead!' And before he went up he divided the Red sea." How's This? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J.
