THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. The Oldest Negro Paper devoted to the Race in this Section LIBERAL COMMISSION PAID RELIABLE AGENTS FOR THIS PAPER CALL HERE Men as Actresses. Japan boasts of several brilliant actors, but, strangely enough, she affords no encouragement to actresses. Women's parts are played by men, and played excellently well, too. Japanese boys who are destined for a stage career are brought up entirely by members of the feminine sex. By the time that they are midway in their teens they have acquired all the sexual female characteristics. Sultan's Titles. The sultan of Turkey has seventy-one titles and on the parchment containing them are the words "as many more as may be desired can be added to this number." Among the titles are "Abdul Hamid, the Eternally Victerious," "the Eternally Smiling," "the Eternally Invincible," "Distributor of Crowns to the Heroes Seated on the Thrones" and "Shadow of God or Earth." Longevity in Europe Longevity in Europe. Of all European countries France is the most favorable to longevity; of every 1,000 persons forty-four reach the age of seventy. In Norway the number is forty, in Sweden thirty-three, Italy thirty-one, Switzerland thirty, England twenty-seven, Germany twenty-six, Spain twenty-four, Austria twenty-three, Hungary eight- Can't Interfere. "Your daughter plays a great deal of classical music in a rather original way," remarked the man with gold glasses. "Yes," answered Mr. Cumrox, regretfully. "She bought the piano and the music out of her own spending money, and I suppose she feels that she has a right to do what the pleases with them." Deer Swifter Than Electric Car. A deer was found on the car track at Sturbridge the other day which when started ran swiftly along the ties ahead of the car. The motorman opened the controller to the last notch, but the animal led the car for a full quarter of a mile and then leaped lightly over the fence and disappeared. Value of Moderate Eating. No matter what kind of food is taken, the quantity should be small. The human body can live and thrive and work on a surprisingly small quantity of nourishment. Great modulation in eating is, therefore, one of the keys that unlock the doors of long living. Greatest Misfortune of Life. Mayors appear to have had their troubles two centuries ago. At Bielefeld, Germany, there is a tombstone with this inscription: "Here lies Johannes Burggreve, who considered his selection as burgomaster of this city the greatest misfortune of his life." The Day's Length. By a simple rule, the length of the day and night, any time of the year, may be ascertained by doubling the time of the sun's rising, which will give the length of the night; and double the time of setting will give the length of the day. Cold Baths vs. Drunkenness In the course of a discussion at the sanitary congress Mr. Weaver de- laired that it was almost impossible for anyone taking a cold bath every morning to become an habitual drunk- ard—London Telegraph. Hunt Treasure at Mont Pelee. Treasure hunting has become the principal occupation of the islanders of Martinique. They dig day and night among the ruins caused by the eruptions of Mont Pelee for gold and other valuables. No Dutiful Wife Will Do It. Once when a man loses all love for his wife is when he holds a straight dash against four aces in a little pok- er game and she has the four aces.— Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Radium Kills Mice. Radium Kills Mice. Before the Paris Academy of Sciences, M. Bouchard stated that mice exposed to emanations from radium died in six hours. Thunder Kills Oysters. Oysters are such nervous creatures that a sudden shock, such as a loud thunder-clap, will kill many hundreds of them. Not So Likely to Happen. If our hearts expanded as readily as easily as our heads swell, the world wo'r be the rainer. Earthly Glory Solomon had glory— He was king now; There's wonder in his story— He isn't living now; Caesar mounted pretty high, Charlemagne was proud and great; Queens of England, my, O, my; He was treasured and treasured; There was French King Louis, too; Who had nothing much to do Save be gay the seasons through— They're not living now! There is much regretting By men who live to-day; They want more than they're getting; They look a cross the road, a corn, They bend to labor and are sad; They wish that they might have been born; To these such as some ancients had; But better far, it seems to me. Than having immortality And being dust, it is to be Up and 'round to-day. —S. E. Kiser, in Chicago Record-Herald. Food for Japanese Soldiers Rice and dried fish are the uniform food of the Japanese army in campaigning times. The rice is first boiled until it is thick and glutinous. Next it is placed on a china slab, rolled out and cut into squares. The squares are then placed in the sun to dry. They become as hard as a ship's biscuit, and are ready to be stored. A certain number of squares are allowed to each soldier a day. All he has to do is to break up a square in boiling water and add his dried fish. In a few minutes he has before him a thick soup, which to him is very good. If he cannot procure boiling water he eats his rice square as a biscuit. Holman Hunt's First Portra Holman Hunt's First Portrait. One day when Holman Hunt, in his office boy days, was alone in the office, a gentleman called and asked for the principal on business. On the principal's return poor Hunt could not remember the caller's name, but he said: "I can't remember the gentleman's name, sir, but this is what he was like." And he promptly drew a picture of the visitor which was so striking a likeness that the principal forgot his annoyance in his astonishment. A. Sickly Joke Hereafter the preachers of Atchison will be required to diagram their jokes and give plans and specifications for their long range figures of speech, says the Kansas City Journal. One of them said of a woman recently that "she ought to go to hell." It raised a terrible commotion in the church. Then the preacher explained. He said his idea was that if such a good woman went to hell there would be no hell. BEWARE THE EASY SHELTER. Refuge There an Important Step Toward Old Age. Years are but a fool's measure for youth, which is divine; they bring caution more often than wisdom, and a certain belief in the unreality of joy. A man is quickly disillusioned, which commonly means that he has set up his own idea of what things should be by the side of what things are, and sulks forever at the result. He then commits the folly of becoming old, and prefers existence to life. He clambers into one or other of the many shelters that line the way, curls up within and smiles pityingly at the young of all ages pressing on to some end, no matter what, alive to the beauty of the sky and the clouds and the birds and the trees, alive even to the beauty to be seen in one another, breathing deeply of the air of strength, living and loving and beloved, until at last they are made one with nature. But the heart, like the liver, grows torpid without exercise; a gradual decay comes to the man in the shelter, a decay from which he is released, much against his will, by death. There are too many shelters—Hugh de Selin-court. LITTLE POKER AT WASHINGTON. Stories of Big Games Must Be Taken With Allowances. It was formerly quite the thing to tell stories about big poker games among the members of Congress. Much was said about the "Senatorial game," "millionaires' game" and the "Congressional game," and always we heard about great bunches of money changing hands, bluffs as high as the banks of the Mississippi, and all sorts of stories. Frequently the senator, representative, diplomat or rich man was named and the winnings or losses told with as much gusto as if they had really hapened. There were some pleasant poker games in days gone by, and occasionally some wonderful plays, but one night, with a few interesting incidents, furnished material for a month of stories. Some of those who figured in the poker stories became annoyed at the notoriety they gained and abandoned poker entirely. For many years now there has not been enough poker in the capital to hang a story on. Every body is preparing for the picnic at Larks Grove on the 4th.

Cardinal Newman's definition of a gentleman has probably never been surpassed. Here it is: "It is almost the definition of a gentleman to say he is one who never inflicts pain. He has his eyes on all his company; he is tender toward the bashful, gentle toward the distant and merciful toward the absurd; he can recollect to whom he is speaking; he guards against unseasonable allusions or topics which may irritate; he is seldom prominent in conversation and never wearisome. "He makes light of favors while he does them and seems to be receiving when he is conferring. He never speaks of himself except when compelled, never defends himself by a mere retort; he has no care for slander or gossip, is scrupulous in imputing motives to those who interfere with him and interprets everything for the best. He is never mean or little in his disputes, never takes unfair advantage, never mistakes personalities or sharp sayings for arguments or insinulates evil which he dare not say out." HOW TO OPEN A BOOK. Right and Wrong Way in This as There Is in Everything. Many people, when they first come into possession of a new book, are apt to spoil the back by not knowing how to open the book properly. Here are a few hints as to the best way of opening a volume. It should be held with its back on a table, the front board cover should be let down, the leaves being held in one hand. Next, the other board cover should be let down. Following this operation, a few leaves should be opened at the back, then a few at the front, and soon, alternately opening back and front, gently pressing open the sections till the center of the volume is reached. The best results will be obtained if this is done two or three times. If the book is violently or carelessly opened in any one place, the back will very likely be broken.—Pearson's Weekly. The Song of the Plains. No harp have I for the singing, nor fingers fashioned for skill. Nor ever shall words express it, the mind in the heart. A saga, swept from the distant horizon beyond the hill. Singing of life and endurance, and bidding me bear my part. For this is song, as I sing it, the song that I love the best. The steady tramp in the furrow, the sound of the unturned steel. An anthem sung to the noonday, a chant of the open West. Echoning deep in my spirit to gladden and help and heal. And this is Life, as I read it, and life in its fairest form. To print the wind on the ranges, the scent of the unturned steel. To stride, and strive, and be thankful, to weather the shine and storm, Penciling, over the prairies, the destiny planned by God. And no reward do I ask for, save only to work and wait. To print the wind of my fathers, to labor beneath his sky. To dwell alone in his greatness, to strike and to follow straight. Silent, and strong, and contented—the humbless plains and I. —H. Bashford in the Spectator. Size of Ancient Babylon. Size of Ancient Babylon. Ancient Babylon was not such a great city as some have supposed, according to H. Valentine Geere, the archaeologist. He says: "The idea of Babylon's vastness and magnificence, to which we have become accustomed, has been practically exploded. Dr. Kodewey told me that the site of the city was larger than that of any other ancient city; but even so, the idea that it could be compared with London and its suburbs, which has been very generally held, is entirely erroneous. In point of fact, it appears that its walls were not more than eight miles in circumference. Moreover, the great palaces are shown to have been poor affairs after all, with wretchedly cramped apartments, and next to no pretensions to architectural style; and the temples were exceedingly crude buildings." --- Publication Notice.

William ©. Greene, the copper mag- aate, was talking to a young man about success. | “The secret of success is enterprise, ergy,” said Col. Greene. “To be lazy, -o stick always in the same old rut, chat is how to make a wretched fail- are of your life. “I went West when I was 17, and after a-spell of contracting and pros- necting about Prescott, I farmed a bit in the San Pedro Valley. There was a storekeeper I used to buy my supplies from at that time who was a failure of che first water. This man’s lack of en- terprise was so great that people used to bring their children from miles around to study him. He was valu- able as a horrible example. “There, they would say to the youngsters, ‘take warning by Manners, He is a failure. He has no enterprise. Don’t grow up like him. He resembles a tortoise, doesn’t he?” “Poor Manners in his sluggishness did resemble a tortoise a good deal. 1 sent a boy in to him one day with a pack mule to get five gallons of mo- lasses. The boy told me afterward that when he entered the store Man- aers was dozing. The boy coughed and the man awoke and got up. He opened his mouth wide, and stood on tiptoe and stretched out his arms in a vast yawn. Then he sald to the boy: “‘Wotcha want? “ “Five gallons of molasses, Mr. Man- ners, the boy spoke up, sharp and quick, ““Wab-h-h-h,’ yawned Manners again. Then as he took up the jug he grum- bled: “‘Ain’t there nobody what sells mo- lasses in this here town but me?” PLEASURE OF EASTERN WOMEN. Their Main Occupation the Diver. sions of the Toilet. An eastern lady of high degree speads an amount of time over her toilet that would quite astonish the most fashionable society lady, First fhe has her hair dressed by her maid, who, after anointing the long, silky black locks with a little oil, made from aloe wood or cocoanut, arranges it simply in a long, smooth plait, low on the nape of the neck, and decorat- ed either with gold or jewelled orna- ments. Next the bath is prepared as hot as it can be borne, and in this the lady may stay as Jong as two or three hours. Soaps are not used, but, in- stead, there are multifarious unguents, secret preparations of the bathing women, which render the skin soft as velvet and delicately perfumed. Oftentimes the face is washed over with milk, into which has been ‘squeezed lemon juice. ‘The hair of the oriental woman is usually beautifully long, soft and glos- sy, and the way they arrange it is in- variably becoming to their soft type of beauty. Perfumes are much in- dulged in. These are introduced in the bath and permeate the garments, but are rarely used on a handker- chief. ‘The Foam on the Ton.

James Rankin Young, the new su- perintendent of the Dead Letter office admires politeness, “It is possible,” he said recently, “to be polite always. It is possible to be polite even when discharging a drunk. en coachman. I know that this Is so, for T have seen the thing done. “A friend ‘of mine found himself obliged last week to get rid of his coachman for drunkenness. He sum- moned the man into his presence, and discharged him with this polite speech: “‘I fear, Montgomery, that we must part. It has been impossible for me to avold noticing that several times during the past month you have been —er—sober. Now, I don't believe that any man can attend properly to drink- ing if he has driving to do, and, there fore, at the month's end you will be free to devote yourself exclusively to e chosen occupation.’ ” All Christians. In his article in the Woman’s Home Companion, describing the Inter ational Sunday School Convention in Jerusalem, Doctor Devins relates the ‘ollowing significant incident: “An unexpected favor was received from the officers of the Russian church on the Mount of Olives. A meeting had Seen planned to be held aear the place of the Ascension. As the leader of the meeting, the writer went to see if it could be held under the trees near the church. “Why not?" was the reply, accom- panied by a smile on the saintly face at the speaker. ‘Why not? Do we sot worship the same Christ?’” WIT 18 NOT APPRECIATED. Fun With Actors. A provincial theater in the east of Scotland is being tormented ana amused at intervals by a wit among the gallery gods who insists on keep- ing up a running commentary on the play. He has enlivened many a dull piece by his droll interpolations, but ‘e has also come pretty near ruining many an intensely dramatic or senti- mental situation by the sudden and always apropos qualities of his inter- ruptions. He has a high pitched, pene- trating voice, and the town police, who have been on the verge of ejecting him a dozen times, say that he was a Glasgow cab driver who retired with a competence and now takes this w.ty to give play to a wit that was once famous in the great city. On one occasion a dreary melo- drama was being presented. The heroine of the play, pursued by the villain, had taken refuge in the house of her lover, who, as the hero of the play, was of course, at variance with is sweetheart’s parents. The exigen- cles of the plot required that the frate father, sword in hand and at the head of his faithful retainers, should track the girl to the gates of the hero's treacherous and disgracefu\ elope- ment, enter the room where the scared heroine had been secreted under the table. “Wretch!” cried the furious father, “your life shall answer for this. 1 de- mand my child. Where is she.” ‘Then, shrill and startling in the ex- pectant silence, from the gallery came the answer: . “Unner the table, ye dinged lout! Dinna ye see her slipper stickin’ oot?” The house was in a tumult of mer- riment in a moment, but it was the “angry father” himself, who ruined the situation, for he burst into immod- erate laughter and the curtain fell in the middle of the act, to rise again vpon an audience that could not re press its risibles for the rest of the evening. HE WANTED A MORTGAGE. ‘Swede's Experience With a Deed Had ; Taught Him Caution. ere te eee tne Halvor Steenerson, Congressman from Minnesota, tells a story of 2 Swede who went to that state from ene of the Dakotas for the purpose of buying a farm. A land agent acted as guide and Informant to the Swede, who eventu- ally found what he wanted. When the tim> came to make out the neces. sary papers, the agent asked the Swede what method he preferred to adopt in making payments. “Ay pay all. Ay haf da money,” re- plied the Swede. “Very well, then. I'll make out the deed,” said the agent. “No!” suddenly exclaimed the Swede. “Ay no want deed!” “Why, yes, you do!” rejoined the agent, astonished. “You pay the money and you take a deed for the farm.” “No, no!” earnestly asseverated the Swede. “Ay no want deed! Ay had deed oop in Dakoty. Ay pay man da money. He gif me deed. Ay gif heem mortgage. Ay tak land. By en by he get land, he get deed, he haf da money. Dees time Ay want no deed; Ay want mortgage.

If we should meet a montk hence and you asked me the same question over again my reply would be the same.” “I think I see—I think I do,” mused the old man, as he leaned back and crossed his feet. “Yes, I guess I understand, and I want to tell you that you are a durned mean jackass of a man and that history is going to re- Peat itself every blamed time I run across you for the next ten years to come.”—Chicago News.

All rights reserved. To say Victoria Siding, one of the minor marks of punctuation on the long line of the Canadian Pacific road, was a lonely place would be to woofully understate the exceptional advantages it offered to hermits in search of a congenial place of residence. into such an environment Fate, with its customary-strong sense of humor, had pitchforked Flicker Brown, a native of New England, with an ample inheritance of all the characteristics of his birthplace, including an intense patriotism and an unquenchable loquacity. "Now, what in tillieludium do you purpose is in that box?" The subject of his inquiry was a long, rectangular, shallow box of new quarter-inch pine. It might have held the blades, or clothes pins, or pressed corned beef in cans. Certainly there was nothing strikingly mysterious about it. It was an ordinary, commonplace, every-day sort of a box, yet for Flicker it had a certain mysterious fascination which easily prevailed over the not particularly distracting cares of his office. He carried the box into the station where he could look at it while getting breakfast, leaving the task of rolling in the heavy barrel until later. "Now what do you suppose is in that box?" Once at the business he quite forgot his scruples. Up came one corner, then the other. Next he pried up the sides and carefully ranked out the wire nails. Under the cover was a layer of excelsior,—a momentary but irritating delay. Lifting this, he paused and gave utterance to a long whistle. "Wh-e-ew! Flags, by ginger! The good old Stars and Stripes, too. Great switches! It seems like years since I've seen one. 'Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that made us free!'" and the impetuous Flicker, waving one in each hand, marched about the room. They were cheap, printed flags, about ten and a half by fifteen inches in size, but there were three bundles of them, a dozen in a bunch, and each flag mounted on a five-foot stick. In a moment he was excitedly pawing out more excelsior. "Jumpin' beeswax! Fireworks, or I'm a Plute! Rockets, pinwheels, Roman candles, cannon crackers, punk, and the whole outfit. "No sire-ree. No Canucker'll ever set these off on no Queen's birthday, not if I can help it," declared Flicker indignantly. And he continued, "Will Victoria Siding celebrate to-night? Well, I guess." Then on his kindled enthusiasm came a dampening thought. What satisfaction would there be in having a display of fireworks and no one there to see it but himself? Never before had the human barrenness of British Columbia made itself felt so strongly. In his glance there was sadness—or as near sadness as the patriotic and conversational Flicker ever got—as he looked at, his preparations THE TRAINMAN new what do you suppose is in that box? There would be no spectators at Victoria Siding's Fourth of July celebration. "Won't, eh? By Christopher, we'll see about that!" It was then that Flicker had his inspiration. When darkness began to shut in around the lonely little station, when the great spruce forest seemed to advance until it hemmed him in closer than ever, he stood in the doorway and whistled "Yankee Doodle," beating out a bass accompaniment on the floor panels with his heels. Far off in the blackness where the darkening sky met the dark woods in an irregular line began to glow a single bright eye. As it grew in size the low rumble took on a heavier volume: then the eye became a great blazing headlight and the rumble swelled to the crashing thunder of flying wheels heavy laden. The Dominion Limited was coming west. There came two frightened snorts from the engine whistle, a series of screeches as the brake shoes bit the steel, and a confused whirring that told of reversed drivers and an open sand-box. Then the long train, with a bumping of draw-heads, came to a stop at Victoria Siding. Every one aboard seemed to be interested in this sudden change from the noisy, swinging rush coastwards to the calm, dense stillness of this desolate spot. Late diners left their coffee, tired travelers pushed back their berth curtains, and the men in the smoking compartment dropped cards and stories. They saw Flicker Brown calmly swinging a red lantern. The brass-buttoned conductor saw him, too, and lost no time in seeking him out. "What in thunder do you mean by stopping the Limited at this forsaken hole, and that with us twenty minutes behind schedule?" he demanded, red of face and puffing from his dash up the track. "Orders," replied Flicker with unusual brevity, and handed out a message damp from the copy press. The conductor grabbed the sheet and held it close to his nickeled lantern. "‘Hold Victoria Siding until 8:32,’" he read. "Now what idiot sends me such an order as this? Why? there's Z. M. "Who said they did?" no train due either way for four hours." "Them's the orders," said Flicker. "Mebbe it's a special." While something like three hundred passengers were simultaneously investigating this delay, Flicker got some matches and created a diversion. Touching off a red light at either end of the platform, he revealed the novel spectacle of a Canadian Pacific railroad station decked out in American colors. He was sending up his second rocket when the conductor rushed back. "You—you impudent scoundrel! What do you mean by—by that?" and, words failing, he waved his hand toward the station. "Me?" said Flicker. "Oh, I don't mean nothing by that; I'm just havin' a little celebration." "Celebration! For what?" "Why, for the Fourth of July. I always do." "You do, do you? Well, young man, you're cheeky. Stop it at once! Why. I've got Lord Windover-Breers and two Privy Councillors aboard. They'll be red hot. Stop it, I say." "Guess not, old man; this is my private blow-out, and she's goin' through, lords or no lords. You can tell His Royal Thingumbobobness that for me. Look out, I'm going to touch off another!" and as Flicker applied the slow-match there was a swish and a roar as the rocket raced up into the sky to burst into balls of red, white and blue. The conductor retreated into the station, and the little knot of passengers which had surrounded them was quickly augmented by enthusiastic recruits from the train, who practically testified to their appreciation of the humor of the situation by hilariously assisting Flicker in the task of setting off his fireworks. They were deep in the fun when the angry conductor burst forth from the station and rushed toward the victim of misplaced patroltism. "Hi, you agent! What d'ye mean? Headquarters say they didn't send out any such order." "Who said they did?" and Flicker touched the burning punk to the fuse of a big Roman candle. "Them's my orders. Yes, my orders; that's what I said. Hey, keep off there, you beef-eating Britsher, or I'll plug you full of hot balls." "I'll have you discharged to-morrow," roared the irate official, displaying a physical discretion in the face of Flicker's awkward weapon that ludicrously contrasted with his fire-eating mood. "You can't," said Flicker, as he triumphantly blazed away. "I'm going to resign to-night." And as the train ignominiously retreated from an unmistakable American victory, a ringing cheer went up from a knot of Yankee passengers on its rear platform, in commemoration of the first and last Fourth of July celebration at Victoria Siding. Flicker's resignation was wired that evening to the superintendent in the following laconic terms:— "I'm through here and gone West. Send on another man." All of which came duly to pass. The new man, it is needless to say, is a lonely but loyal Briton. ADDS TO SPLENDOR MEN OF BUSINESS RECOGNIZE ADVANTAGES OF ACETYLENE. Famous Summer Hotel, the Grand Union of Saratoga, Has Installed This Best of All Artificial Lights—Means Increased Comfort and Health. Saratoga, June 27.—The very name, "Saratoga," brings to every mind health-giving springs, unsurpassed hotels and beautiful drives. It has been for many years the Mecca for all who admire nature, enjoy good living, and are searching for health, or are simply taking a vacation. The Grand Union, the largest summer hotel in the United States, set among green trees with its long wings enclosing a court with fountains and flowers, grass and trees, music and light, is throughout the season thronged with guests. With the progressive spirit always shown by its management, the Grand Union has again added to its attractiveness by introducing acetylene gas to make still more brilliant the evening hours. The genial proprietors believe in furnishing their guests with the best of everything, and now, after investigating and finding that Artificial Sunlight can be had, they have installed a complete acetylene gas plant to produce it, and have connected upwards of six thousand acetylene burners in and about the house and grounds to this little gas plant. Like many discoveries of recent years, which are coming into popular favor, acetylene, one of the most recent, is very simply produced. It is adapted for use wherever artificial light is needed and the necessary apparatus can be understood and operated by anyone. The generator in which Acetylene is produced by the automatic contact of carbide and water might be termed a gas plant, as it performs all of the functions of a city gas plant. The acetylene generator can be purchased for a few dollars and in any size, from one adapted to furnish acetylene to ten or a dozen burners for a cottage, up to the large but still simple machine such as is now furnishing Acetylene for six thousand burners in the Grand Union. Outside of large cities the use of Acetylene is quite common. The owner of the country home now demands running water, gas and other conveniences which a few years ago were considered as luxuries, and acetylene gas has met his requirements, and gives him a better and cheaper light than is ordinarily furnished in cities. It is well known that rooms lighted with Acetylene are more comfortable, because cooler, and more healthful because the air is not vitiated. Lots of people think they are leading the simple when they are leading the simpleton life. Baking Economy. By the use of a perfect baking powder the housewife can derive as much economy as from any other article used in baking and cooking. In selecting a baking powder, therefore, care should be exercised to purchase one that retains its original strength and always remains the same, thus making the food sweet and wholesome and producing sufficient leavening gas to make the baking light. Very little of this leavening gas is produced by the cheap baking powders, making it necessary to use double the quantity ordinarily required to secure results. Manufacturers of cream of tartar powders ask about twice as much for their goods as that paid for any other baking powder, and food prepared from these cream of tartar powders contains large quantities of Rochelle Salts. Ask your physician what the results would be from the constant dosing of Rochelle Salts. A baking powder that is recommended by leading physicians and chemists, and which is both perfect in quality and moderate in price, is therefore suggested—one that has been found to be "best by test"—"Calumet." From the standpoints of purity, wholesomeness and economy, there is nothing to excel it. Food prepared with Calumet is absolutely free from Rochelle Salts, Alum, Lime, Ammonia, or any injurious substance. A woman can't loose but one thing at cards with good grace, and that is her temper.

WHY THEY ARE HAPPY TWO NOTABLE RECOVERIES FROM EXTREME DEBILITY. Husband's Strength Had Been Waning for Three Years, Wife a Sufferer from Female Weakness. "My strength had dwindled so that I couldn't apply myself to my business with any snap but was tired and listless all the time," said Mr. Goldstein. "I went to bed completely used up by my day's work, and when I got up in the morning I didn't feel rested a bit. I had awful headaches too, and my kidneys got out of order and caused me to have severe pains in the back. At one time I became so feeble that I could not stir from bed for three weeks." Mr. Goldstein is a young man and had then but recently established a home of his own. His anxieties were increased by the fact that his wife was far from being robust. Mrs. Goldstein says: "For two years I had been ill most of the time. Sometimes I was confined to bed for weeks in succession under a physician's care. I had headaches, kidney trouble, pain about the heart and many more uncomfortable symptoms connected with that weakness to which my sex is peculiarly subject." Trouble had invaded this household and settled in it in just the years that ought to be the very happiest. Physicians could not tell them how to get rid of it. "I was utterly discouraged," said Mr. Goldstein. "Then the urgency of some friends led me to try a blood and nerve remedy which was said to be wonderfully successful. Within a month there were unmistakable signs of improvement in my condition, and within a year I was completely well. Through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I have now as good health as Lever had in my life." Mrs. Goldstein adds: "The wonderful effect that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had in the case of my husband led me to try them and they helped me even more quickly than they did him. One box made me decidedly better and a few months' treatment cured me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best tonic and regulator, they make pure, rich blood and when there is general weakness and disorder that is what the system needs. Mr. and Mrs. H. Goldstein live at 38 Gove street, East Boston, Mass. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by druggists everywhere. If a gown becomes a woman she becomes anxious to show off in it. Dealers say that as soon as a customer tries Defiance Starch it is impossible to sell them any other cold water starch. It can be used cold or boiled.

Others say they cannot sell any other starch. Sudden acquisition of wealth transforms family jars in jardiniers. If you don't get the biggest and best it's your own fault.

DON'T FORGET DON'T FORGET A large 2-oz. package Red Cross Ball Blue, only 5 cents. The Russ Company, South Bend, Ind. A hole in the garden hose is usually quickly darned. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. "Write to S. G. Warner, G. P. and T.

His Calendar for Year. The correspondent of the Aroostook Republican at South Caribou, Me., offers the following concerning the excitement of summer months in that section: Well, we presume the summer months will pass with about the usual variety of attractions and tribulations. May will pass with bargain sales and house-cleaning eruptions; June will be devoted to now and then a wedding; July to campmeetings, excursions and Sunday fishings, of which there is a variety of kinds; September, cattle shows, fairs and horse trots, baseball, boo hoo and what not; October—that makes me tired; 50 cents for potatoes; the rest of the year will be spent in getting wood and trying to keep a roaring fire. Divorce Statistics Consul Goding reports that in certain periods of time selected for investigation the number of divorces to every 10,000 marriages in New Zealand was 116.6, in South Australia 29, in Queenstown 30, in West Australia and Tasmania 41, in Victoria 124.4 and in New South Wales 273.3. Canada has 4 divorces to every 10,000 marriages, the United Kingdom 11, Norway 16, Austria 43, Greece 50, Belgium 81, Sweden 87, Cape Colony 98, the Netherlands 103, Germany 165, France 180, Roumania 204, Switzerland 432 and the United States 612. Eggs Were Well Preserved. On May 13 Mrs. A. J. Burnham and a friend went to Epping. N. H., to open the former's cottage for the summer. When they entered the front hall they found three eggs in a basket just as they had been left when the house was closed last season. There had been no fire in the house for seven months, yet the eggs were perfectly sound and tasted like the "strictly fresh" article when eaten. The reason for it all probably lies in the fact that the eggs were placed in salt for three weeks as soon as laid. Relic of Revolutionary Hero. Dr. G. B. Hoit, of Manchester, N. H., has a silver charm which once belonged to Matthew Thornton, one of the signers of the declaration of independence. On one side there is the emblem of the blue lodge of Masonry, while on the other is seen the symbol of the chapter. It is not recorded anywhere that Mr. Thornton ever joined the Masons, but, as there is no doubt that the charm was his, it is thought that he may have gone into the order while in the revolutionary army, as did Washington and many others. Hotels Run by Government. Western Australia is probably the only part of the British empire that has carried socialism to the length of building and managing state hotels. From the annual report and balance sheet recently presented to the local parliament, it appears that state drinks are 25 cents a glass. There was a loss of $4,250 on the house account, which apparently means the boarding branch of the business, but on the operations as a whole there was a profit of $2,600. Killed Marauding Snake. Miss Tillie E. Vose, of Boylston, is not afraid of snakes. Miss Vose raises chickens as a side business and has quite a brood. The other day when she took account of stock she found that several were missing. The next morning she saw a big black snake in the act of swallowing one of the younger chicks. She not only dispatched the reptile at once with a shovel, but measured the body, which was within a few inches of five feet long. New England Town Wakes Up. The rapid transit craze has struck Chelsea, Vt., and the old stage which for years has covered the sixteen miles between the town and the railroad is to give way during the summer months to an automobile. The new vehicle makes the run in less than an hour. Remarkable Case of Thrift. A remarkable record of thrift comes from Morrisville, Vt., where a young man has just purchased a farm from the savings of five years' labor in the tanneries.

He states that the anopheles mosquito may hib- ernate during the winter, and can sur- vive a temperature of 7 degress C. Be- tween January 20 and April 1 he col- lected 186 mosquitos, all females. On March 8 he allowed himself to be bit- ten by several of them. Symptoms of malaria developed on March 24, and a micoscopic examination of his blood on April 1 revealed great number of malaria parasites. Disinfecting the Confessional. On the advice of the Mexican board of health, the government has issued an order for the daily disinfection of confessionals in all the churches of the capital. Priests neglecting the order are subject to fine and imprisonment. According to the health board, the con- fessional may be an active means of spreading contagious and infectious diseases, and its purification is very important in controlling epidemics. The same disinfection order has been issued in Gaudalajaro, and will be put into effect throughout the entire re- public. It ts easier to get into public life than to stay there.

Peterson, Justice of the Peace for Oconto Co., has delivered a judg- ment that is of interest to the whole United States. Put briefly, that judg- ment is, “Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best Kidney medicine on the market to-day.” And Mr. Peterson gives his reason for this judgment. He says: “Last winter I had an aching pain in my back which troubled me very much, In the morning I could hardly straight- en my back. I did not know what it was but an advertisement led me to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills. After taking one box I can only say they have done more for me than expected as I feel ag well now as ever I did before.” Pain in the back is one of the first symptoms of Kidney disease. If not cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may develop into Bright's Disease, Dia betes, Rheumatism or some of the other deadly forms of Kidney Disease, I wonder why it is that “good Chris- tian women” always wear such stunn- ing clothes? sa a ar ee Red Cross Ball Blue.
