Kodol will effectually assist Na ture to secure a complete restora tion of good digestion. It does this by at once digesting all food In the stoni.ub and keeping It di gested, until the stomach Is rested and van risumo Its own work.

In view of the wide distribution of sharks aiul their strength and ferocity, qualities wmcii appealed to the savage mind, it is not strange that the cult of shark worship should hare arisen. This worship is especially common in the sou tn seas, wnerc sharks are very nu merous, siiys the Detroit Free Tress. In the Solomon islands living sacred objects are chiefly sharks, alligators, snakes, etc. Sharks are in ail these is lands very often thought to be the abode of ghosts, as natives will at times before their death announce that they will appear as sharks. Afterward any shark remarkable for size or color which is observed to haunt a certain snore or rocu is taicon to be some one s ghost, and the name of the deceased is given to it. Such a one was Sautahimatawa at Ulawa, a dreaded man eater, to which offerings of porpoise teeth were made At Saa certain food, such as cocoanuts from certain trees, is reserved to fee such a ghost shark, and there are ccr- j tain men of whom it is known that after death they will be in sharks. These, therefore, are allowed to eat such food in the sacred place. In Saa and Ulawa if a sacred shark had at tempted to seize a man and lie had escaped the people would be so nmcu afraid of the shark's anger that they would throw the man back in the sea to be drowned. These sharks also were thought to aid iu catching the bonito, for taliing which supernatural power was necessary. In the Banks islands a shark may be a tangaroa, a sort cf familiar spirit or the abode of one. Some years ago Manurwnr, son of Mala, the chief man in Vanua Lava, had such a shark. He ld given money to a Mauwo man to send it to him. It was very tame and would come up to hi'.n when he went down to the beach at Nawono and follow along in the surf as he walked along the shore. In the New Hebrides some men have the power, the natives believe, of changing themselves into sharks. The Samoa a native believed that his gods appeared in some visible incar nation. " and the particular thing in which it was in the habit oi appear ing was to l.im an object of veuera tkn. Many worshiped the shark in this way, and while they would freely partake of tlie gods of others they felt that death would be the penal should tliov oat their own god. The god was supposed to avenge the in suit bv taking tin hi abode in the offender's body and causing to gen crate there tli3 very thing which he had eaten until it produced death. In one village Taenia, the war god; was present in a bundle of shark's teeth These curiosities were done up in a piece of native cloth and consulted be fore Xgoing to battle. If the bundle felt heavy that was a bad omen, but if light the sign was good, and off they went to the fight. In the Fiji islands, Viavia and other gods claim the shark as their abode, and their devotees must never eat of that fish, for if they did they would be partaking cf the god himself. It was in the Hawaiian Islands, how ever, that shark worship reached its greatest perfection. Its worship was quite common on the islands, each one having a special shark as his ances tral god. The worship of sharks was due largely to the fact that the belief in the transmigration cf souls is quite ceneral among the Polynesians, and the ITawaiians would feed their dead to the sharks under the supposition that in this way the soul of the dead would enter the sharks and so animate the latter as to incline them to respect the bodies of the living. Several cf the African coast tribes worship the shark. Throe or four times in the vear they celebrate the festival of the shark, which is done in this wise: They ail row out in their boats to the middle cf the river, where they invoke, with the strangest ceremonies, the protection of the great shark. They offer to him poultry and goats in order to satisfy his sacred appetite. But this is nothing. An infant is every year cnfriHeeil tn the monster, w hie ii nan been feted and nourished for the sac rifice from its birth to the age of ten. On the day of the fete it is bound to a post on a sandy point at low water. As the tide rises the child may utter rf terror, but thev are cf no avail, as it Is abandoned to the wave and the sharks soon arrive to finish its agony and thus permit it to enter into heaven. The Polynesians have an ancient fa ble treating cf the flight of Ina, the daughter of Vaitoringa and Xgactna, ir, thr. nfierorl i--lr. After the sole dumped her at the edge cf the break ers with su:h disastrous results to it self from the angry princess the latter summoned the shark hud by its help c,T,r,r.a,-rt in rpfichiuir the sac-red is- OUV Wvn - ' land. Feeling thirsty during the voy- nrr Trfi ciacked a cocoanut on the Ehark's forehead, and this accounts for the bump now found on the forehead of all sharks. CHOICE MISCELLANY Second Navy of the World. During the year 1908 andby a very narrow margin the United States 'na vy maintained its right to be classed as the second strongest navy in the world, second only to Great Britain's and closely followed by Germany's, which has made great strides to re gain the place it occupied In 190G. France's ranks fourth and Japan's fifth. Great Britain has 01 first class battleships, the United States 31, Ger many 31, but with a smaller tonnage ' than ours; France 20 -and Japan 15.' pEJie total cost of the new American navy, built and building, has been $344,004,298. But the cost does not cease with the completion of the ves sels. Each year large sums are ex pended in keeping them in repair and manning them. . A huge item of ex pense is tlie cost of coal. The govern ment spent $5,108,824 fbt coal, in 1908, purchasing S3G,3Sb tons at an average of ?G.1S per ton. Of this 018,083 tons were used 'on navy vessels. The bat tleships' cruise around the world was very expensive. The personnel of the principal naval powers shows that in numbers the United States stands fourth, though if the marine corps is Included we stand second. Great Brit ain has 99,319 enlisted men in her na vy, Germany 47,280, France 44,577, the United States 42,400 and Japan 41,906. Leslie's Weekly.

The army engineers hope to finish the project for the enlargement of Governors island, -t'cw-. York, next year. The plan originally proposed the addition cf about eighty-two acres to the area of the island by inclosing with a bulkhead part of the shoal southwest of the island and filling the iuciosiire. The estimate for the work was 81,100,000, which included the building of a wharf and several neces sary buildings and dredging in front of the wharf to a depth of twenty-six feet. Since the act of 1001 providing for such work the area to be added has been increased by twenty acres, and the land becomes a valuable addi tion to the army post on the island. 11 the work is done with the excep tion of tilling up about eighteen acres and closing a gap in the sea Avail about C50 feet long.

She was buried iu the corner, of the ceme tery whkh she had chosen long ago, and after the sad ceremony we return ed to the old house. Ilere were uieui. ories for all of us. l'or three genera tions she had held children in her arms, sooihcd their sorrows, listened , to their joys, and now they were all met to uiouru her absence from the old place so dear from its associations with her. 1 mounted the great staircase and entered the room from whicl they had just taken her. Here were my earliest recollections of her. I recalled how as a little girl I would come iu in the morning as soon as I was dressed, say ing, "Good morning, grandmother." I always found her dressed, for she was an early riser. She would leave her hair by the window and to the big, old fashioned wardrobe, which looked so immense to me, and take from it the expected dainty. With what awe and respect had this wardrobe rilled my childish heart! It seemed to me a perfect treasure house for all that a child holds dear.- With these remembrances in my mind I opened it now. It was full of fra grant linen scented with lavender, ex cept for a little shelf at one side, where lay several papers. I picked up a roll of yeilow writing paper tied with a pink ribbon and carried it to the light. Had I any right to read the pages? They were discolored bv aire, but I knew the writing. Could grandmoth er have any secrets which she would wish to keep after death? Even as I debated I had untied the ribbon and discovered that I held a diary in mv hands, and the first words in it were of love, sweet, nure and tender the first love of a young girl. I could not resist, and I read the pages as I stood there in the fading light which laid before me the romance of my grandmother. It was in the month of June, 1812, on a beautiful evening, when even the flowers exhale more strongly their sub tle perfumes and the human heart has a desire to open. Here in the twilight of the old garden grandmother heard the first words of love. Beneath the deeper shadow of the trees, wrapped in the sweet odor of the flowers, two figures, a young girl and a young man, walked side by side with slow steps. "Yes, Clarisso, I am going," said the young man. "And what difference'does it make? Suppose I never return from the war. Who would care? I am alone in the world." "You have friends, Horace." , "None.". , - "And I?" said she very low. "You!" cried he. "You would care least of any." There was a long silence. The grav el sounded beneath their slow tread. The night fell little by little. Horace heard a stifled sound and turned. "You are crying, Clarisse!" "You hurt me so!" "Do you love me?" She faltered, and his arms caught her and held her against his beating heart. Unresisting, she raised her face to his, and their lips met In a long kiss the first. Horace left the next morning. Clarisse waited long for him. The remains of the grand army returned without him. Still she hoped on. Years passed, and the war ended. Many who had been imprisoned returned, but still he delayed. She pictured him buried beneath the snow with numberless others who had dropped exhausted along the line of the terrible march. Her parents urged upon her the duty of selecting a husband from the suit ors who surrounded her. She resisted as long as possible, then yielded, van quished by their insistence and by the certainty of his death. She gave her hand to Count d'Estrarville. It was ten years since the kiss given beneath the trees. She was sitting on bench in the garden when a stranger approached her along the path. As he neared her she recognized him. It was Horace. He came toward her with out stretched arms, then stopped, us though surprised at the coldness of her greeting. 'It Is too late," she said. "I am al ready married." lie explained the reason of his long absence captivity. Siberia, the mines, all the frightful sufferings he had gone through, sustained always by a belief in her love and her loyalty to the unspoken vow made In the twi light of the garden. "You lied to me that night when you said 3011 loved me!" he cried, the bitterness cf his disappointment mak ing him cruel. "No," she said. "I loved you. and I shall always love you. It Is just for that reason that you must continue dead to me. I cannot trust myself with ycu." And he left her. This wai? tlie story of grandmother's life as I read it from the old diary. I remembered an old man vio lived In the neighborhood and whom we chil dren called "the Chevalier." I Identi fied him with Horace. When grand mother became a widow and when she was an old lady to us he came to live nenr her, and they spent many long hours together In the sweetest and purest companionship. I under stood that the two old friends were dear to one another because their af fection had been founded upon some thing more than friendship. They were too eld to have aught to fear from gossiping tongues, and they had co much time to make up that they could not deny thcnselves the sad dened pleasure of daily intercourse. I put the little ;iary safely back in the old w;udrfle and left the dear rid room. From the French. DsWiTT'S SALVS GAR30UZEB WITCH HAZEL , ?cr Hies, 3um3, Sors.
