Women are the inheritors of the oldest most universal human wisdom, they have more sense than men, for the simple reason that a man has to be a specialist, and a specialist has to be a fanatic. The normal man all over the world is a hunter or a fisher or a banker or a man of letters or some silly thing. If so, he has to be a hunter or a wise banker. But body with the smallest knowledge professional life would ever expect him to be a wise man. But his wife has to be a wise woman. She has to save an eye on everything.—G. K. Westerston on the Daily News. Indian Remedy for Coughs. A decoction of cherry bark and truce bark, boiled and strained, is a old Indian remedy for coughs, which has been largely sold under various names for years by venders of plant medicines. The white trapper radish dissolves spruce gum in alcohol, adds a certain proportion of the spirits to the bark mixture and extracts the whole with maple sugar. Images the most experienced chemist did not prepare a better cough up than this makes. Shylock's Prized Turquoise. We all remember reading of poor stock's despair and indignation for learning that his turquoise ring had been exchanged by the gay young woman for a chattering monkey, when he tells us: "It was my turquoise; and it of Loch when I was a bachelor, I would not have given it for a bolderness of monkeys." Which passage shows the antiquity of the turquoise as a love-pledge. Whenever a new typewriter girl is employed in one of the departments she names the machine and it is purchased for her. Remarkable Act of Aberration Credited to Edward L. Henry. Edward L. Henry, the Academician, was considerably over sixty years old, but his youthful smooth face, aside from his gray hair, has deceived many persons. He is an inveterate joker, and also exceedingly absent minded. This is an actual experience he had at the Century club not long ago. It was a reception, and Mr. Henry was very busy talking to a fellow artist, when something irritated his ankle. He stooped down, lifted the edge of the bottom) of one of the other man's pursuer legs, calmly scratched the other man's ankle just above the patient's tie, and replacing the garment, went on talking, wholly oblivious of his action and apparently perfectly satisfied. At a recent convention of airbrakes an interesting report was presented showing how the distance required for the stopping of trains had been reduced by the new high-speed brake. A train running eighty miles an hour was stopped in 2,240 feet by the high-speed brake at 110 pounds, where ordinary pressure of seventy pounds took exactly half a mile to bring it to a stand. Other train speeds and reductions in stopping distances were: Fifty feet an hour, from 840 to 700 feet; fifty-five miles, 1,030 feet; fifty-five miles, 1,635 to 1,300 feet; seventy miles, 2,010 to 1,530 feet; seventy miles, 2,295 to 1,840 feet. HIS IDEA OF A GENTLEMAN. Cardinal Newman's Estimate Is Well Worthy the Attention of All. 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 insinuates 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 that which heart my 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 song that I love the furrow, the grind of the gleaning steel. An anthem sung to the noonday, a chant of the open West. Echoning deep my spirit to gladden and help and heal. And this is Life, as I read it, and life to breathe the wind on the ranges, the scent of the upturned sod. To stride, and strive, and be thankful, to breathe the saline and storm. Penelling over the prairies, the destiny planned by God. And no reward do I ask for, save only to work and wait. To praise the God of my fathers, to labor beneath his sky. To do work with diligence, to strike and to follow straight. Silent, and strong, and contented—the limitless plains and I. —H. H. Bashford in the Spectator.

"Sugar has modified the history of Europe and of the world in more ways than one," says a writer. "Used four centuries ago, almost exclusively in the preparation of medicines, and long afterward an article of luxury only accessible to the rich, it has by enlarged production and cheapened manufacture been brought within the reach of all. The universal use of this practically pure carbohydrate, which is not only a freely burning fuel and proteld sparer, but a muscle food, increasing the power of doing work and lessening fatigue, must have had widespread and beneficial effects on the general health. Especially in the case of children, whose greed of sugar is the expression of a physiological want, has that food been valuable in conducting to growth, contentment and well-being."

William C. Greene, the copper magistrate, was talking to a young man about success. "The secret of success is enterprise, energy," said Col. Greene. "To be lazy, to stick always in the same old rut, that is how to make a wretched failure of your life. "I went West when I was 17, and after a spell of contracting and prospecting 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 the first water. This man's lack of enterprise was so great that people used to bring their children from miles around to study him. He was valuable 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, does not he?' "Poor Manners in his sluggishness did resemble a tortoise a good deal. I sent a boy in to him one day with a pack mule to get five gallons of molasses. The boy told me afterward that when he entered the store Manners 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 said to the boy: "Wotcha want?" "Five gallons of molasses, Mr. Manners," the boy spoke up, sharp and quick. "Wah-h-h-h,' yawned Manners again. Then as he took up the jug he grumbled: "Ain't there nobody what sells molasses in this here town but me?" PLEASURE OF EASTERN WOMEN. Their Main Occupation the Diversions of the Toilet. An eastern lady of high degree spends an amount of time over her toilet that would quite astonish the most fashionable society lady. First she 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 decorated either with gold or jewelled ornaments. Next the bath is prepared as hot as it can be borne, and in this the lady may stay as long as two or three hours. Soaps are not used, but, instead, 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 glossy, and the way they arrange it is invariably becoming to their soft type of beauty. Perfumes are much indulged in. These are introduced in the bath and permeate the garments, but are rarely used on a handkerchief. The Foam on the Top Don't snuggle conceit to your bosom, my boy. Because you're on top of the wave. For here I'm thought that might serve us alloy. To the gold of the credit you crave: The best is not always at surface, my soe. And I think, if to notice you'll stop. You'll observe that the good to the bottom may run. But the foam always lingers on top. I would not discourage your zeal, my dear lad; It is best to keep working alway. But this funny old world often labels as bad The thing that is good in its day. In fact, I may say that it classifies wrong Some part of the great earthly crop. And I think you will note as you journey along. That the foam often gets to the top. We will not mention names if you please, my dear youth. But look on the world as you go. See the men whom we place at the summit of truth. The gaze on the mortals below. And I give you my word I'll have nothing to teach. And this brief little anthem will stop. If you don't agree with the thing that I preach. A Polite Discharge James Rankin Young, the new superintendent 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 drunken coachman. I know that this is so, for I have seen the thing done. "A friend of mine found himself obliged last week to get rid of his coachman for drunkenness. He summoned 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 avoid 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 drinking if he has driving to do, and, therefore, at the month's end you will be free to devote yourself exclusively to your chosen occupation." All Christians. In his article in the Woman's Home Companion, describing the International Sunday School Convention in Jerusalem, Doctor Devins relates the following significant incident: "An unexpected favor was received from the officers of the Russian church on the Mount of Olives. A meeting had been planned to be held near 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, accompanied by a smile on the saintly face of the speaker. 'Why not? Do we not worship the same Christ?' " WIT IS NOT APPRECIATED. Glasgow, Scotland, Character Has Fun With Actors. A provincial theater in the east of Scotland is being tormented and amused at intervals by a wit among the gallery gods who insists on keeping up a running commentary on the play. He has enlivened many a dull piece by his droll interpolations, but he has also come pretty near ruining many an intensely dramatic or sentimental situation by the sudden and always apropos qualities of his interruptions. He has a high pitched, penetrating 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 way to give play to a wit that was once famous in the great city. On one occasion a dreary melodrama 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 his sweetheart's parents. The exigencies of the plot required that the irate 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 disgraceful elopement, enter the room where the scared heroine had been secreted under the table. "Wretch!" cried the furious father, "your life shall answer for this. I demand my child. Where is she." Then, shrill and startling in the expectant 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 merriment in a moment, but it was the "angry father" himself, who ruined the situation, for he burst into immoderate laughter and the curtain fell in the middle of the act, to rise again upon an audience that could not repress its risibles for the rest of the evening. HE WANTED A MORTGAGE. Swede's Experience With a Deed Had Taught Him Caution Halvor Steenerson, Congressman from Minnesota, tells a story of a Swede who went to that state from one of the Dakotas for the purpose of buying a farm. A land agent acted as guide and informant to the Swede, who eventually found what he wanted. When the time came to make out the necessary papers, the agent asked the Swede what method he preferred to adopt in making payments. "Ay pay all. Ay haf da money," replied 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. Ay pay da money; you gif me mortgage!"—The Sunday Magazine. Getting Posted. "I would like to ask you a question if you don't mind," said the old man in the street car to the man on his right. "Go ahead, sir." "I should like to know the meaning of the term 'History repeats itself.' I come across it most every day. How does history repeat itself." "That's easily answered," said the other. "For instance, if you should ask me what I thought of the weather I should tell you to go and be hanged to you.

Vietim Had Become Helpless When He Tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but Was Cured in Four Months. Because he did not know that there is a remedy for ataxia, Mr. Ariel endured four years of weakness, pain and the misery of thinking his case incurable. "At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war," he says, "I went with Company B, Eighth Regiment, M.V.M., into camp at Chickamauga, and there my system became thoroughly poisoned with malaria. When I was mustered out, I carried that disease home with me. After a while locomotor ataxia appeared." "How did the ataxia begin?" "I first noticed a pain in my ankles and knee joints. This was followed by a numb feeling in my legs. At times I had to drag myself around; my legs would shake or become perfectly dead. I had constant trouble in getting about in the dark. I kept a light burning in my room at night as I could not balance myself in the darkness. Even with the aid of a light I wobbled, and would reach out and catch hold of chairs to prevent myself from falling?" "How long were you a sufferer?" "Four years in all. During the last three years I was confined to bed, sometimes for a week, again for three or four weeks at a time. When I was lying down the pain in my back was frequently so severe that I had to be helped up and put in a chair to get a little relief. I had considerable pain in my bowels and no control over my kidneys. The worst of all was that the doctor could give me no hope of recovery." "I read that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured locomotor ataxia and one or two friends spoke to me about them. In the fall of 1903 I began to take them for myself and I had not used more than one box before I found that the pains in my knees and ankles were greatly relieved. Four months afterward I became a perfectly well man, and I am today enjoying the best of health." Mr. Edward H. Ariel lives at No. 43 Powow street, Amesbury, Mass.

The cheap baking powders have but one recommendation: they certainly give the purchaser plenty of powder for his money. These powders are so carelessly made from inferior materials that they will not make light, wholesome food. Further, these cheap baking powders have a very small percentage of leavening gas; therefore it takes from two to three times as much of such powder to raise the cake or biscuit as it does of Calumet Baking Powder. Therefore, in the long run, the actual cost to the consumer of such powders is more than Calumet would be. Cheap baking powders leave the bread sometimes bleached and acid, sometimes yellow and alkaline, and always unpalatable. They are never of uniform strength and quality. Why not buy a perfectly wholesome baking powder like Calumet, that is at the same time moderate in price and one which can be relied upon? Calumet is always the same, keeps indefinitely and gives the cook the least trouble. This Is No Joke What is the most terrible fate you ever encountered?"

In line with the classic case of the oyster shippers, cited by President Hadley of Yale University in his book on Railroad Transportation, is the case of the Aroostook potato growers brought by President Tuttle of the Boston and Maine Railroad before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce. Nothing could better show how a railroad works for the interest of the localities which it serves. A main dependence of the farmers of the Aroostook region is the potato crop, aggregating annually eight to ten million bushels, which find a market largely in Boston and the adjacent thickly settled regions of New England. The competition of cheap water transportation from Maine to all points along the New England coast keeps railroad freight rates on these potatoes always at a very low level. Potatoes are also a considerable output of the truck farms of Michigan, their normal market being obtained in and through Detroit and Chicago and other communities of that region. Not many years ago favoring sun and rains brought a tremendous yield of potatoes from the Michigan fields. At normal rates and prices there would have been a glut of the customary markets and the potatoes would have rotted on the farms. To help the potato growers the railroads from Michigan made unprecedentedly low rates on potatoes to every reachable market, even carrying them in large quantities to a place so remote as Boston. The Aroostook growers had to reduce the price on their potatoes and even then could not dispose of them unless the Boston and Maine Railroad reduced its already low rate, which it did. By means of these low rates, making possible low prices, the potato crops of both Michigan and Maine were finally marketed. Everybody eats potatoes, and that year everybody had all the potatoes he wanted. While the Michigan railroads made rates that would have been ruinous to the railroads, had they been applied to the movement of all potatoes at all times, to all places, they helped their patrons to find markets then. The Boston and Maine Railroad suffered a decrease in its revenue from potatoes, but it enabled the Aroostook farmers to market their crop and thereby to obtain money which they spent for the varied supplies which the railroads brought to them. If the making of rates were subject to governmental adjustment such radical and prompt action could never have been taken, because it is well established that if a rate be once reduced by a railroad company it cannot be restored through the red tape of governmental proce dure. If the Michigan railroads and the Boston and Maine Railroad had been subjected to governmental limitation they would have felt obliged to keep up their rates as do the railroads of France and England and Germany under governmental limitation and let the potatoes rot. $E$ have.

Instrument Shows Heart's Action Dur- Jpn: Murculae, Work and Afgan ing Muscular Work and After. A recent publication of the University of Michigan describes an instrument for securing a continuous graphic record of the pulse rate in man which afford valuable indications of the heart's work. The records showed that the commencement of muscular work is followed almost simultaneously by a marked acceleration of the pulse. In fact, this modification of the pulse rate is observed in the next heart cycle after the work begins. In typical cases there are three well-marked stages—a primary rise, a period of sustained acceleration and a secondary rise. Similar stages of decrease in rate occur after the work stops. The rapidity of the pulse during work depends not only upon the amount of work done, but much more upon the manner in which it is done. Speed and resistance are factors requiring separate consideration and of these two speed has the greater influence. These records show that while muscular work may not appreciably require the expenditure of bodily force it immediately reacts upon the heart and that conversely cessation of muscular exertion is an immediate relief to the heart. Scott and the Simple Life Sir Walter Scott was an out-of-doors man, as he had been a tramping boy, says McClure's. It is impossible to think of him without his horses and dogs. His duties as sheriff took him across country continually, and he always had more months out of Edinburgh that in it, notwithstanding his court clerkship. He was thus in constant contact with Scotch life and country, and he never lost or relaxed his first impulse to know and see with his eyes, so far as eyes could see it, all the local history. He was also in love with the genius of Scotland as it was stamped in the people of all sorts and conditions. Human nature, the rough, hard article free from its alloy of the town, was treasure trove to him. On those annual "raids into Lidddesdale," and on many another journey, he made himself master of this book of truth out of which came so much of the character, anecdote and phrase that are most sterling, real and humorsome in his books. View of Happiness. I have been trying to figure out a general condition of happiness, and I reach the conclusion that it consists mainly in the ability to march with one's own generation, neither deploring the progress the generation makes nor grumbling because it doesn't make more, says Frank Putnam in the National Magazine. We can understand best the men and women of our own age, or near it. Dr. Osler spoke truth when he said that most men cease to be receptive to new ideas after 40; hence our elders in the 50s and 60s and 70s, say, who have ably guided the affairs of the world during the decades immediately ahead of us will often seem to us to move less rapidly than we think they should, toward new industrial conditions. And the generation immediately behind us—the restless chaps in their 20s, are putting more pressure upon us from the rear than we are able to believe is wholly justified. A Kipling Souvenir Of an interesting Kipling relic, Charles Warren Stoddard writes: "The object that first caught my eye was an old desk, black with age, and no doubt rheumatic in every joint. Its lid was a solid panel, but curved in the fashion of a roll-top desk. Across the length of it, cut deep in large letters, such as schoolboys love to carve was this legend: "Oft was I weary when I toled at Thee,' "So sang the galley slave in a faultless verse; and so, in the hour of triumph, Rudyard Kipling graved upon the cover of the desk at which he won his fame."—National Magazine.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Has an Unequalled Record of Cures—Mrs. Pinkham's Advice Is Confidential, Free, and always Helpful First.—That almost every operation in our hospitals performed upon women becomes necessary through neglect of such symptoms as backache, irregular and painful menstruation, leucorrhoea, displacements of the uterus, pain in the side, burning sensation in the stomach, bearing-down pains, nervousness, dizziness and sleeplessness. Second.—The medicine that holds the record for the largest number of absolute cures of female illis is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It strengthens, strengthens and cures diseases of the female organism as nothing else can. For thirty years it has been helping women to be strong, curing backache, nervousness, kidney troubles, all uterine and ovarian inflammation, weakness and displacements, regulating menstruation perfectly and overcoming its pains. It has also proved itself invaluable in preparing for childbirth and the change of life. THIRD.—The great volume of unsolicited and grateful testimonials on file at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., many of which are from time to time published by permission, give absolute evidence of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice. FOURTH.—Every ailing woman in the United States is asked to accept the following invitation. It is free, will bring you health and may save your life. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation to Women.- Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. 'All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. From symptoms given, your trouble may be located and the quickest and surest way of recovery advised. Out of the vast volume of experience in treating female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably has the very knowledge that will help your case. Surely, any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. The Opportunity of Today The opportunity for the man with little means is better today in the prairie states of the Southwest than ever before in the history of the nation. To be sure, there is not the vast open choice of land for the homesteads that existed in the '70s. The lands then taken up under Government laws are now prosperous farms and ranches. There is need of more hands to develop the country. In the Southwest—Indian Territory, Oklahoma and Texas—are vast areas of unimproved land not yet yielding the crops of which it is capable. Practically the same thing is true of the towns. Few lines of business are adequately represented. There are openings of all sorts for a wide-awake men. ARE YOU ONE?

He and two brothers crossed the plains in the early '50s. Where Stars Are Barred. Turkey's government has issued an order to its custom authorities not to admit any foreign goods which bear the mark or design of a star. It is supposed that the reason for this is that the representation of a star is a part of the Turkish coat of arms.

The Union Pacific Railroad Passenger Department has put before the public a folder of the Lewis and Clark Exposition at Portland. It is wonderfully neat and attractive, colors having been employed in the printing. Contents embrace a very complete description of the exposition and its attractions, including a bird's-eye view of the beautiful grounds and buildings, done in numerous colors. Scenes in and around Portland are strikingly portrayed, and all contemplating visiting the exposition this summer should have a copy of the folder in order that they may know of points where the greatest enjoyment and satisfaction may be found. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought FOR SIMPLE FARM HOUSE. Plane Show a Layout for Comfort and Convenience. I should like to build a house 18x26 feet with 14 feet walls and attach to it a kitchen 14x24 feet with walls 8 feet high. How much lumber would be required if the walls are sheeted with ship lap and sides? The amount of lumber required for the house, the main part would be as KITCHEN 13" X 16" T" X 13" PANTRY UP DINING ROOM 13" X 13" DOWN PARLOUR 10" X 12" BED ROOM T" X 12" 18" Ground Floor Plan. follows: Ninety-five pieces of 2x4 inch x14 feet for outside studding, plates and sillers; 40 pieces of 2x4-inch x14 feet for rafters; 20 pieces of 2x4-inch x10 feet for collar ties; 75 pieces of 2x4-inch x8 feet for studding for partitions; 784 feet of 1-inch sheeting; 8 squares of shingles; 936 feet of flooring; 40 pieces 2x8-inch x18 feet for BEDROOM 12" X 13" HALL BED ROOM 9" X 10" BED ROOM 9" X 10" Upper Floor Plan. joist; 1,300 feet of ship lap and 1,480 feet of siding. For the kitchen there would be required the following: Forty-four pieces of 2x4-inch x8 feet for studding; 18 pieces of 2x4-inch 416 feet for rafters; 10 pieces of 2x4-inch x12 feet for sills and plate; 420 feet of sheeting; 580 feet of ship lap; 700 feet of siding; 18 joists 2x8-inch x14 feet; 18 pieces of 2x4-inch x14 feet for ceiling joists; 340 feet of flooring and 413 squares of shingles. The accompanying plans show how the house may be laid out for convenience and comfort. **Laying Pipes for Water Works.** What would be the probable cost of laying iron water pipes in trenches from 8 to 10 feet deep. The main pipes would be 10 inches, branches from 4 to 6 inches with lead joints. What would be the additional cost for valves, elbows and tees? Twenty men would excavate about 200 feet of trench 10 feet deep each day, three men would lay the pipe, and ten others would fill it in. At $1.75 per day the wages for laying 200 feet would be about $600.00, which would be about 30 cents per foot. Valves and hydrants would cost about $1.00 each to put in. These estimates are for doing the work in soil that is easily handled. Raising a Roof. I wish to raise the roof of a kitchen 14 feet square in order to build on another story. How should this be done and how many jack screws would be required? To raise the roof of a small building, place stringers or needle beams across under plate near to each end, then put jack screws under these; take a strain and loosen the plate from studding; now raise the roof as high as the jack will go, shove up the roof, take out the jacks, block them up and raise again, following the roof up with shores until the proper height is reached. Stay the roof from blowing over sideways, then splice on old studding and nail the top of studs to the plate. You can use two jacks, one at each end, or four, one at each corner, which is safer. Stone Milk House. How much lime, stone and sand is required to build a stone milk house 12x14 feet inside, having 7-foot walls, 2 feet thick? Would it be necessary to have walls of this thickness to ensure coolness in summer? In what proportions should the lime and sand be mixed, and what depth of foundation is needed? The house would require 13 cords of stone, 14 yards of gravel and 80 bushels of lime. The usual proportions of lime and sand for mortar are 6 bushels of lime to one cubic yard of sand. A wall two feet thick would keep out warmth in summer and cold in winter. The foundation should go to the bottom of the frost line, or at least low enough to rest on firm clay or rock.

Arriving at a Verdict. Kushequa, Pa., July 10.—(Special)—In this section of Pennsylvania there is a growing belief that for such Kidney Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame Back there is only one sure cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This belief grows from such cases as that of Mrs. M. L. Davison of this place. She tells the story herself as follows: "I have suffered from Rheumatism for thirty years and find that Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me more good than any medicine I have ever taken. I was also bothered with Lame Back and I can only say that my back hasn't bothered me since I took Dodd's Kidney Pills." Considering that Mrs. Davison only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the result would be considered wonderful if it were not that others are reporting similar results daily. Kushequa is fast arriving at a verdict that "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure cure for Rheumatism." Old English Family. The new speaker of the house of commons, James William Lowther, comes of one of the most ancient families of England, for when Sir Richard Lowther was his sheriff of Cumberland in the eighth and ninth of Elizabeth, he was the thirtieth knight in succession. Lowther is the family name of the Earls of Lonsdale, and the speaker is grandson of the first earl, while the fourth and present earl is a great-grandson, but born in the same year (1885) as the speaker James William Lowther has been in official life since 1883, when he was first elected to parliament, in which he is now member for Penrith. In his youth he was quite celebrated as an amateur actor, with special skill in caricature. As He Explained It "Dearle," remarked Mrs. Small, "I see the railroads are going to put in flat rates. Does that mean we can rent the flat cheaper?" "Oh, no, darling, it merely means they are short of coaches and are going to put in a low rate on flat cars and make a run on it."—Kansas City Drover Telegram. Small. "Oh, yes, there is something very small about the DeSmythes." "Little, are they?" "Yes, indeed. They have to be. They live in a flat." WANTED TO SLEEP Curious That a Tired Preacher Should Have Such Desire. A minister speaks of the curious effect of Grape Nuts food on him and how it has relieved him. "You will doubtless understand how the suffering with indigestion with which I used to be troubled made my work an almost unendurable burden, and why it was that after my Sabbath duties had been performed, sleep was a stranger to my pillow till nearly daylight. "I had to be very careful as to what I ate, and even with all my care I experienced poignant physical distress after meals, and my food never satisfied me. "Six months have elapsed since I began to use Grape-Nuts food, and the benefits I have derived from it are very definite. I no longer suffer from indigestion, and I began to improve from the time Grape-Nuts appeared on our table. I find that by eating a dish of it after my Sabbath work is done (and I always do so now) my nerves are quieted and rest and refreshing sleep are ensured me. I feel that I could not possibly do without Grape-Nuts food, now that I know its value. It is invariably on our table—we feel that we need it to complete the meal—and our children will eat Grape-Nuts when they cannot be persuaded to touch anything else."
