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 wise hunter or a wise banker. But nobody with the smallest knowledge of professional life would ever expect him to be a wise man. But his wife has to be a wise woman. She has to have an eye on everything.—G. D. Desserton in the London Daily News. Indian Remedy for Coughs A decoction of cherry bark and bark powder, bark boiled and strained, is a old Indian remedy for coughs, which has been largely sold under various names for years by vendors of ancient medicines. The white trapper radish dissolves spruce gum in alcohol, adds a certain proportion of the spirits to the bark mixture and sweetens the whole with maple sugar. It stamps the most experienced chemist and did not prepare a better cough up than this makes. Shylock's Prized Turquoise we all remember reading of poor jackets's despair and indignation in learning that his turquise ring had been exchanged by the gay youngista for a chattering monkey, when tells us: "It was my turquise; and it of Leah when I was a bachelor. I would not have given it for a bafferness of monkeys." Which pass shows the antiquity of the turse 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. AN ABSENT MINDED ARTIST. Markable Act of Aberration Credited to Edward L. Henry. Edward L. Henry, the Academician, considerably over sixty years old, and his youthful smooth face, aside from his gray hair, has deceived many enemies. 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, something irritated his ankle. He stooped down, lifted the edge of the bottom of one of the other man's lower legs, calmly scratched the man's ankle just above the patent leather tie, and replacing the garment, went on talking, wholly oblivious of his action and apparently perfectly satisfied. At a recent convention of brake training an interesting report was present showing how the distance required for the stopping of trains had been reduced by the new high-speed brake. Train running eighty miles an hour was stopped in 2,240 feet by the high-speed brake at 110 pounds, where ornamental pressure of seventy pounds exactly half a mile to bring it to rest. Other train speeds and reasons in stopping distances were: Fifty miles an hour, from 840 to 700 feet; fifty-five miles, 1,030 feet; fifty-five miles, 1,635 to 1,300 feet; fifty 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. Worryly 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 so well, that work it, the song that is in 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. That day, and that furrow, the grind of the gleaming steel. An anthum 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 fares to form. To breathe the wind on the ranges, the scent of the upturned sod. 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 raise 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 limeless plains and I. -H. H. Bashorn in the Spectator. Bank Run by Negroes. English Paupers Costly.

"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 proteid 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 conducing to growth, contentment and well-being." One of Life's Tragedies. When a bachelor sees a widow he shakes his head knowingly. When a widow sees a bachelor she shakes her head knowingly. Watching them is a spinster, who also shakes her head knowingly. Feminine Solace. Sorrow finds a fertile field in femininity. Strange, too, are the remedies sought.

Among some of the ancient Mexican tribes the husband left his people and dwelt with his wife's family, where he seems to have been considered of minor importance. : Homes in Various Countries.

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, doesn't he?" "Poor Manners in his sluggishness lid 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 grumbed: "Ain't there nobody what sells mousses 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 is a thought that might serve as alloy To the gold of the credit you crave: The best is not always at surface, my boy. 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 away. 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 Scene 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 I will not mention names if you please, the world as you go. See the men whom we place at the summit, in truth. Then 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 do not agree with the thing that preach. That the foam may be found on the top. -A. J. Waterhouse in Sunset Magazine. 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. "Wretcht!" 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: Inner 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 "Very well, then. I'll make out the deed," said the agent. "No!" suddenly exclaimed the Swede. "Ay no want deed!"

"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. If we should meet a month; 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 repeat itself every blamed time I run across you for the next ten years to come."—Chicago News. A Gentle Thrust. James Jeffrey Roche, the new Consul to Genoa, was talking about a magazine editor. "This man," he said, "rejected some of the best of my early verse. He rejected some of the best verse of my friends. Why he is an editor I can't imagine. He certainly has no critical sense. "I indicated this to him one day. He had announced to me that he was going to get married. He had praised the lady of his choice ardently, declaring her to be a poem. "And still you do not reject her?' exclaimed." Winter. Soft as the plumes of sleep drifts down The pure white silence of the snow The bells make merry in the town, Where happy faces come and go. The brooding quiet of the trees, Is broken sweet, in yonder glen, By "day, day day," of chickadees And keen, sweet song of winter wren.

The telegraph line from Vienna to Czernowitz is the longest line in Europe which uses the duplex system, being 630 miles long. The system was adopted a few months ago, as it was found necessary to increase the capacity of the line, which takes all the matter for Roumania, southeastern Russia and a part of Bulgaria. The system works well at present, although the line is constructed of iron wire instead of copper. Good Luck for Turtles at Lakes GOOD Luck for turtles at Least. The Chinese have a peculiar customer with regard to turtles, which they consider as very good joss. Almost any day one can see these creatures, some of them of huge size, being carried on board the river steamers, not to be taken to Canton for culinary purposes, but to be dumped into the sea and restored to liberty and freedom. Good luck is thought to follow.—Hong Kong Press. Good to Lick Baby With Lots Good to Lick Baby With Later On. I saw lately a dainty and original gift for a young mother. It was called "a measuring stick for baby," made of white wood thirty-six inches long, and marked off into inches as accurately as a tape measure. Forgetmenots were pal ted down the side, and at one end a hole in which was a ribbon loop and loop by which to suspend it. Good Housekeeping.

Early Japanese University Early Japanese University. It will surprise most readers to learn from a recent Japanese writer that there was a university in Japan in the eighth century, with schools of ethics, mathematics and history, and that text books were employed dealing with such specialties as the diseases of women, veterinary surgery, and materia medica.

"Well, yes, boss, we duz, all 'cept Grape-Nuts, cause that don't look like the others and people know 'zacky what Grape-Nuts looks like. But there's 'bout a dozen different ones named on the bill of fare and they are all thin rolled flakes so it don't make any difference which one a man calls for, we just take out the order from one box." This talk led to an investigation. Dozens of factories sprung up about three years ago, making various kinds of breakfast foods, seeking to take the business of the original prepared breakfast food—Grape-Nuts. These concerns after a precarious existence, nearly all failed, leaving thousands of boxes of their foods in mills and warehouses. These were in several instances bought up for a song by speculators and sold out to grocers and hotels for little or nothing. The process of working off this old stock has been slow. One will see the names on menus of flaked foods that went out of business a year and a half or two years ago. In a few cases where the abandoned factories have been bought up, there is an effort to resuscitate the defunct, and by copying the style of advertising of Grape-Nuts, seek to influence people to purchase. But the public has been educated to the fact that all these thin flaked foods are simply soaked wheat or oats rolled thin and dried out and packed. They are not prepared like Grape-Nuts, in which the thorough baking and other operations which turn the search part of the wheat and barley into sugar, occupy many hours and result in a food so digestible that small animals thrive on it, while it also contains the selected elements of Phosphate of Potash and Albumen in the body to produce the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers. There's a reason for Grape-Nuts, and there have been many imitations, a few of the article itself, but many more of the kind and character of the advertising. Imitators are always counterfeiters and their printed statements cannot be expected to be different than their goods. this article is published by the Postum Co. at Battle Creek. Additional evidence of the truth can be sup- plied in quantities. INVENTIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS Plan Irrigation in Canada. By means of irrigation Canadian railway officials propose to reclaim 2,000 farms of 100 acres each before the end of the present year. They have undertaken to irrigate between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 acres between Calgary and Medicine Hat, utilizing the Bow and Red Deer rivers as the source of water supply. The work of making canals where the water is most needed has already begun, and the main channel, close to Calgary, partly cut last year, is to be carried twenty miles farther this year. This channel is sixty feet wide and carries ten feet of water, while the secondary canals, planned to be cut the coming season, will water something over 200,000 acres. Coin-Sorting Machine. The trite saying that "necessity is the mother of invention" may be repeated once more in connection with the coin sorting machine shown here- with, which is the subject of a recent patent. It is fitting that such a device should have originated, of all places on the globe, at Atlantic City, which vies with Coney Island in its numerous catch-penny amusements. While rather limited in its field of applications, a mechanical coin assorter is doubtless justified by the necessities of the amusement business, where a great number of small coins are handled daily. After a monotonous scooping in of innumerable nickels, dimes and pennies during the course of a long day. It must be a great relief to dump them into a hopper, turn a crank a few times and remove the coins sorted into denominations and possibly counted. The device is based on the simple principle of graded openings formed by bars arranged in tiers at right angles to the axis of the cylinder. As the only coins which will go through the openings travel successively through the larger size are retained, the smaller pieces traveling toward their tiers until they reach their proper place. Tiny Burglar Alarm. A portable, readily adjustable burglar alarm of miniature dimensions, which also acts as a safety latch to temporarily baffle the intruder, is a novelty disclosed by a recent patent. A wedgelike base plate of solid construction carries a spring-actuated alarm bell. The under surface of the base plate is furnished with sharp, strong studs, extending rear-wardily to prevent the alarm sliding when an attempt is made to open the door. In use the alarm is placed in close proximity to the door, window or the like, with the thin edge of the block under ```markdown ``` the edge of the door, or moving members. Any attempt to open the door causes the block to slide rear-wardly and so release the trigger of the bell, sounding an alarm. Further attempted forcing only results in the door becoming firmly jammed, or wedged, the strong solid back effectively resisting opening of the door without actual destruction of the woodwork. So long as the door is being pushed the alarm continues to ring, and if firmly wedged it will not cease until released. Home-Made Water Wheel. I have made a very simple water wheel with which I force water, by means of a force pump a distance of 1,200 feet, with an elevation of sixty-five feet. The flumes through which the water flows to the wheel is 16 feet long, three feet wide at the intake, and two feet wide at the outlet, it is 15 inches deep and has a fall of 30 inches. The water enters the flume three inches deep. At the outlet of the flume I have a home-made wheel resembling the works of a churn. The sides of the flume carry the wheel, which runs the pump which forces the water from a spring to my house at a distance and elevation already mentioned.—W. H. H., in Montreal Herald. IS ABSOLUTELY PURE NATURE'S OWN RESTORATIVES IN FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION. Dr. Pierce Announces the Ingredients of the Family Medicines Which Have Made His Name a Household Word in the World. With all the recent talk about patent medicines and the determined effort in certain quarters to cast discredit upon all household remedies which come under that head, the fact remains that some of these medicines are so firmly established in popular favor and confidence, have so proved their worth and value, that all the denunciations of bigots cannot destroy the people's faith in them. One of the best known of these remedies is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, a medicine which for years has been accepted by the people as a standard preparation for the cure of those ailments to which women alone are subject and which has proved to be a certain cure in nine cases out of ten and a sure relief in the other one. There is nothing to conceal about the Favorite Prescription. It is an absolutely pure medicine—made of roots and herbs, Nature's own restoratives. Dr. Pierce is perfectly willing to let every one know that his Favorite Prescription contains Blue Cohosh (Caulophyllum Thalictroides), Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga Racemosa), Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium Pubescens) and Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis). Every doctor knows that such a prescription is beneficial in the diseases of women and when properly compounded is certain to effect a cure in practically all cases when given a fair trial. Hereafter every bottle of the Favorite Prescription will plainly tell of what the medicine is composed. Thus Dr. Pierce will once more prove to the world his own confidence in the remedy which for forty years has borne his name and which is known all over the world as a sovereign cure for those diseases which, unchecked, make our women old before their time. There is no alcohol in the Favorite Prescription. Dr. Pierce never believed in using alcohol in the preparation of his famous household remedies. For it he substituted chemically pure glycerine, which has wonderful properties for extracting the medicinal principles of roots and herbs and barks and preserving them at their full strength, without any deleterious effect whatever. Your druggist sells the Favorite Prescription and also that famous alterative and blood purifier, the Golden Medical Discovery. Write to Dr. Pierce about your case. He is a well-qualified physician and will treat your case as confidential and without charge for correspondence. Address him at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., of which he is Chief Consulting Surgeon. A man's idea of comfort seldom libes with that of his wife. DISFIGURING ULCER People Looked at Her in Amazement —Pronounced Incurable—Face Now Clear as Ever—Thanks God for Cuticura. Mrs. P. Hackett, of 400 Van Buren St., Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I wish to give thanks for the marvelous cure of my mother by Cuticura. She had a severe ulcer, which physicians had pronounced incurable. It was a terri- ble disfigurement, and people would stand in amazement and look after her. After there was no hope from doctors she began using Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, and now, thank God, she is completely cured, and her face is as smooth and clear as ever."

COMES A TIME When Coffee Shows What It Has Been Doing. "Of late years coffee has disagreed with me," writes a matron from Rome, N. Y.; "it's lightest punishment was to make me 'logy' and dizzy, and it seemed to thicken up my blood. "The heaviest was when it upset my stomach completely, destroying my appetite and making me nervous and irritable, and sent me to my bed. After one of these attacks, in which I nearly lost my life, I concluded to quit and try Postum Food Coffee. "It went right to the spot! I found it not only a most palatable and refreshing beverage, but a food as well. "All my ailments, the 'loginess' and dizziness, the unsatisfactory condition of my blood, my nervousness and irritability disappeared in short order and my sorely afflicted stomach began quickly to recover. I began to rebuild and have steadily continued until now. Have a good appetite and am rejoicing in sound health, which I owe to the use of Postum Food Coffee."

Darky Explains His Infeectual Effort to Commit Suicide. There was a man in Atlanta who once suspected a colored man in his employ of tampering with the contents of his wine cellar, especially with a certain brand of fine whisky. The employer decided to adopt measures to verify his suspicions. He allowed the demijohn holding his "private stock" to become empty; then, instead of refilling it, he placed his pet brand in bottles, labeling each one "poison." One evening, on returning home unexpectedly, he caught his servant in "flagrante delicto." Seizing the bottle from the darky's hand the Atlanta man exclaimed, in a tone of horror, "Great heavens, Sam! do you know what you have been doing? This bottle is marked 'poison!'." The negro took the bottle and surveyed it closely. Then he sniffed at it. A melancholy smile flitted over his dusky countenance. "Tain't pizen, sah," he said, dejectedly. "Ise been fooled ag'in." "Fooled again?" repeated the master, indignantly. "What do you mean?" "Well, sah," continued the darky, in the same tone of depression, "it am dis way. I knew from de fust, from de way you acted 'bout dat demijohn, dat you had yo' suspishuns ob me; an' dat sho' made me feel pretty blue. I got distressed, an' didn't care. Why, sah, fo'm two weeks now Ise been tryin' to commit suicide outer dat bottle."—Woman's Home Companion. Got Even With Judge Sewall. Judge Sewall and Joseph Story were dining together at an inn, when a jolly son of Erin appeared at the door and called for dinner. The landlord told him he could eat when the gentlemen had finished. "Let him dine with us," whispered Judge Sewall, "and we will have some fun with him." The Irishman took his seat at the table. "You were not born in this country?" said Story. "No, I was born in Ireland." "Is your father living?" "No, sir." "What was his occupation?" "Where do you suppose he went to?" "To heaven, sir." "Has he ever cheated any one there?" "He has cheated one man, I believe." "Was he prosecuted?" "Because they searched the kingdom of heaven for a lawyer to take the case and couldn't find one."

Phythagoras had just finished his lecture decrying the use of meat as food. Suddenly holding up his hands as a sign that he desired silence on the part of his pupils, he said: "And, finally, I would add that beans are fit only for pigs to eat. They produce stabismus, thus narrowing the outlook of the consumer, and cause fatty degeneration of the mind." Realizing that he had burned his bridges in front of him he walked home, convinced that Boston would never help to put meaning into his utterances.—Chicago Record-Herald. Patient. Indeed.

"Ah, that's charming," responded Prof. Drummond: "Suppose we say good-by right now." Design for Tailor's Static Design for Tailor's Stationery. A gentleman called last week at a large stationer's to order some notepaper with a heading. On being shown various designs, monograms, etc., "No," he said, "I want something simpler—just a flower, a forget-me-not." "But, sir, that would surely be more suitable for a young lady." "I know what I want," was the prompt reply; "I am a tailor, and the paper is for my customers." Ethel—Yes, I'm going in for teaching. Marjory—You going in for teaching?

I used about every known remedy that is said to be good for kidney complaint, but without deriving permanent relief. Often when alone in the house the back ache has been so bad that it brought tears to my eyes. The pain at times was so intense that I was compelled to give up my household duties and lie down. There were headaches, dizziness and blood rushing to my head to cause bleeding at the nose. The first box of Doan's Kidney Pills benefited me so much that I continued the treatment. The stinging pain in the small of my back, the rushes of blood to the head and other symptoms disappeared." Doan's Kidney Pills for sale by all dealers. 50 cents per box.

Sete we ae”. Forty YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING, Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them “poison.” The definition of “narcotic” is: “4 medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convul- sions and death.’ The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of “Drops,” “Cordials,” “Soothing Syrups,” eto. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed. CASTORIA DOES NOT CON- TAIN NARCOTICS, if it bears the signature of Chas, H. Fletcher, THE TEACHER'S te ‘Overwork Tells How Sho Escaped Misery of Enforced Idleness, “I had been teaching in tho city schools steadily for six years," said Miss James, whose recent return to the work from which she was driven by nervous collapse has attracted attention. “They were greatly overcrowded, especially in the primary department of which I had charge, and Ihad been doing the work of two teachers. The strain was too much for my nerves and two years ago the crisis came. «Twas prostrated mentally and phy- sically, sent in my resignation and never expected to ba able to resume work. It seemed to me then that I was the most miserable woman on earth, I was tor- tured by nervous headaches, worn out by inability to sleep, and had so little blood that I was as white as chalk. “After my active life, it was hard to bear idleness, and terribly discouraging to keep paying out the savings of years for medicines which did me no good.”* “How did you get back your health ?” “A bare chance and a lot of faith led motoacure. After I had suffered for many months, and when I was on the very verge of despair, I happened to read an account of some cares effected by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, The state ments were 50 convincing that I some: how felt assured that these pills would help me. Most people, I think, buy only one box for a trial, but I purchased six boxes at once, and when I had used them up, I was indeed well and had ng need of more medicine. “Dr. Williams’ Piuk Pills enriched my thin blood, gave me back my sleep, re- stored my appetite, gave me strength to walk long distances without fatigue, in fact freed me from all my numerous ail ments, I havealready taught for several months, and I cannot say enough in praise of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.” Miss Margaret M. James is now living at No, 123 Clay street, Dayton, Ohio. Many of her fellow teachers have also used Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and are entausiastic about their merits. Sound digestion, strength, ambition, and cheer- ful spirits quickly follow their use.
