“Gentlemen,” said one old professor on a certain occasion to his class, “you do not use your faculties of observation.” Here he pushed forward a gallipot containing a chemical compound of exceedingly offensive smell. “When I was a student,” lie continued, “I used my sense of taste.” At the same time he dipped his finger into the gallipot, and put his finger in his mouth. “Taste it, gentlemen, taste it,” said the professor, “and exercise your perceptive powers.” The gallipot was pushed towards the reluctant class one by one. The students resolutely dipped a finger into the concoction, and with many a wry face sucked the abomination from the fingers. “Gentlemen, gentlemen!” exclaimed the professor, when all the class had gone through the ordeal. “I repeat that you do not u»e your faculties of observation, for, had you looked more closely at what I was doing, you would have seen that the finger which 1 put into my mouth was not the. finger that I dipped into the gallipot!” When children fail to thrive give them Stearns’ Wine. It makes weak children strong by giving them better appetite and digestion. They like to take it because its taste is pleasant.
