Have you ever had a long, weary Sunday before you—apparently a never ending day when nothing imaginable would provoke one of those full, hearty whole-souled languishes from which is derived the old, favorite sage, "laugh and grow fat"? If such a day comes to you again and you want a merry laugh for the pleasure it gives, turn to Comic Colored Supplement of the Chicago Record Herald's Sunday edition. It is certainly an exterminator of the "blues." Filled completely with fresh, breezy jokes and irresistibly comic illustrations in colors, sparkling with wit and humor of an entertaining as well as instructive nature, it is a paper to amuse all who see it. Four pages in colors and four pages in black-and-white, this—the best colored supplement issued by any metropolitan newspaper—makes of that newspaper a combination of a modern Sunday newspaper and a humorous, weekly periodic in colors. The mechanical work involved in the making of this colored supplement is a marvel of skill. The harmonious arrangements and perfect blending of the many colors used in its make up portray artistic taste of the highest The Piano Bed Bed Dr. Charles Hose, of Sarawak, after many experiments, has formed the theory that the disease berl berl arises in tropical regions from the consumption of molly rice.

Gross Father of Lexiographers. Johnson, even excepting his predecessor, but not the author of lexiographers. In the last volume issued by the Historical Manuscripts Commission on manuscripts in the Welsh language it is stated that the idea of illustrating the meaning and correct use of words by actual quotations from the literature of a living author is presented in practice by Griffith Hiraethog, the herald bard of Wales, who died in 1564. Export Wood to Germany. Imports of wood into Germany from the United States have more than trebled since 1880, amounting in 1903 to more than $ 8,500,000. It consisted mostly of pitch pine. This wood is more resistant to the weather and costs much less than oak. It is used for furniture, cabinets, etc., while oak is used in the manufacture of the finer grades of furniture. Japanese Hemp. Among the industries of Japan which are receiving especial attention is the manufacture of hemp. It is reported that orders have recently been executed for a supply of fishing nets for Alaska valued at $30,000, and that a commissioner has lately been sent to Canada to investigate and report on the prospect of extending the market for nets in that country. Cost of Gravitation In an address before the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Mr. Charles Hawkin's remark that water obtained by gravitation is almost, if not quite, as expensive as water obtained by pumping, may be explained by the humble but is easily explained by the greater cost of gravitation works. A Touching "Appele." The following notice is said to be posted over the almshose of a certain cathedral door in Northern Italy: "Apple to charitables. The Brothers, so called, of Mercy, asks slender arms for the hospital. They harbor all kinds of diseases, and have no respect to religion."—Harper's Weekly. American Monte Carlo The American Monte Carlo is in the principality of Flagler, at Palm Beach, Fla. The concessionaries, owning the Casino, are two brothers of the name of Thompson. They come from Texas and their little gaming establishment at Palm Beach is worth to them $200,000 a season. Badluun Energy. It has been calculated that the energy stored up in fifteen grains of radium is sufficient to raise 500 tons weight a mile high.

The working members of a family consisting of a father and two sons found themselves out of employment. After a diligent search, the youngest son found employment on the Roxborough filter plant, helping to dig the excavation. Once the location of the first day's work he asked Mr. McNichol to give his brother a job. The contractor, ever on the alert for good men, asked the young man if his brother could do as much work as he, and on the strength of this recommendation the elder brother was engaged. The next day both brothers went to Mr. McNichol and pleaded to have their father put on the job. "Can your father do as much work as either of you boys?" asked Mr. McNichol. "Yes," answered the brothers; "he can do as much work as both of us together." "Very good," replied McNichol. "Bend your father around in the morning and you two stay at home."— Philadelphia Ledger.

Langerman, Morocco, commissioner to the world's fair, has just bought the Moorish suitan a brace of mules, a number of Angora cats and goats, some fancy dogs and a pacer and a span of fine carriage horses, all of Missouri breeding. The carriage horses were Buff and Blue, well-known ribbon winners and they cost the subs $2,000. Plenty In It. "The old saying that nothing is too small to steal is exemplified in our business," said a manufacturer of custom-made clothing. "Our thread gives us lots of trouble. We have to keep a watchful eye upon it. The case in which it is kept is under the supervision of our most trusted employee. If he chose to be dishonest he could rob us of $5,000 a year and would be worse. We would behesit, notice that we were using more thread than usual, but the excess might be attributed to other causes. "We have to check out every spool we give to our tailors. Even at this we are in danger of having a cheaper grade substituted. The difference in the price of the spools may be only one or two cents, but it offers a temptation if the scheme can be worked on a large scale. Some years ago we were forced to the conclusion that a 'fence' was being operated to dispose of stolen thread. The spools were sold by peddlers from home to auction caused large establishments to have each spool stamped with dyes which cut into the wood, stating that the thread was stolen from such and such a shop, the name of which was stamped on the spool." Cats' Well. In the south of Ireland, near Inchgael, is the "Gats' Well," the waters of which are supposed to exert marvelous remedial effects upon alling tabbies. Long Time Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole hold the unbeaten record of having been prime minister of England for, in all, twenty-one years. There are always two parties to a contract, and yet in a majority of cases but one is expected to carry it out. Some of the problems which Dr. Silmon Newcomb expects the twentieth century to solve are the minute corpuscles which exist around the millions of atoms, which, for example, make up a drop of water; the slight change of the magnetic needle; the change of the magnetic field which blaze forth from time to time; the causes of these outbursts; the possible solution of earth problems from these and other phenomena, and the things that M. Curces' radium suggests. Alcohol From Sawdust. A Norwegian chemist has discovered a new and cheap way of making alcohol from sawdust. Sawdust is treated under pressure with diluted sulphuric acid, by which the cellulose is transformed into sugar, which then produces alcohol, is converted into alcohol in the old manner and then distilled. Two hundred and twenty pounds of sawdust yield fifteen pounds of alcohol. Hydrophobia Germ. Dr. A. Negri of Pavia announced last March the discovery of the specific micro-organism of hydrophobia. He now states that he has examined more than 100 dogs with natural or laboratory hydrophobia, and has never failed to find the specific micro-organism in the nerve centers. On the other hand, he has never found it in other dogs. Honest Man's Enlighten. A cemetery in Wareham contains this tribute of praise to an honest man: "John Christy, died June 17, 1888, age unknown. Hibernia's son, himself exiled, without an inmate, died in 1890, when he died his purse, 'too' small, contained enough to pay us all and buy this stone." Brain Measurements The largest human brain of 900 measured was that of a woman, 115 cubic inches; the smallest adult male's, 62 cubic inches. There is mentioned the skull of one of the Inca Peruvian race which is but 80 cubic inches. The Caucasian skull is larger than that of any other race. Effect of Sun Spot. In speaking of the effect of sun spots on the earth, Prof. Elkins of the Yale observatory, said: "They produce no climatic or atmospheric disturbances or changes. The effect of the spots is entirely magnetic. It takes a very sensitive compass to be affected even." Old-Remedy for Smallpox. In the twelfth century a certain John of Gaddesden described that sulphur spots should be dressed in red clothes, and that red curtains should be placed before the windows; this is really the essence of the Finsen treatment.—Stray Stories. Poor France. Statistics, like fishermen, tell curious stories. In fifty years the population of France has increased 12 per cent. In the same period the consumption of alcohol has increased 225 per cent. The Frenchman is learning to drink.—Denver News. Lends Money to Convicts. In Italy the government permits an old warder to act as moneylender to the convicts. He advances them money to buy luxuries in the shape of sugar, butter and oil, and in return he receives an order on the amount they earn. Small Wages in India. Official statistics also show that the income of the agricultural laborer in average Indian districts is from $1 to $2 a month, and with that income the poor man has to support himself as well as his wife and children. Improvement In Shaft Sinking The sinking of shafts through wet ground has recently been successfully accomplished by the aid of artificial freezing. The ground is hardened in this manner to prevent a sudden inrush of water. Hopelessness. The lack in our spiritual life of the hope of an existence beyond the grave is like the hopelessness for recovery of a person who is infinitely more terrible—Exchange Short of Apples. This year's apple harvest in France will be unusually short, on account of the late frosts and the ravages of the caterpillar. Prices will be even higher than those of 1902. Largest Nugget Ever Found. The largest nugget ever found weighed, 210 pounds, and was worth $45,000. It was found in the Donolly district of Australia in 1865. Col. Hunter Is Retired. Col. Robert Hunter of the judge advocate's department of the United States army, has been placed on the retired list for age. Electric Lights in Berlin. The cost of electric current for lighting purposes in Berlin will be reduced to 40 pounnigs (10 cents) per kilowatt hour. Russian Acquisition. Within fifty years Russia has acquired new territory which in area is larger than the United States. Premium Dollar. A silver dollar, 1798, small eagle, is worth $2; large eagle, $1.50.

It they ‘would only do that the Pacific coast ‘wouldn't stink so in the nostrils of shipmasters and shipowners.” ‘The consul expleined the local ays- tem of politics. It appeared that every ono with any business on the borders of crime insured against the resulta of accidents by belug in politics. “And if the thieving politicians ap- point the man to control them, what's the result?” “Tho result 1s—Ghanghal Smith,” sald the adm{ral, “Well, Til see you Inter, I've an appointment with Mr. Sant, of the Harvester.” ‘Tho consul stared. “What, with Sant? Why, be got eighteen months’ hard. labor for kill- ing » man six months ago.” “But he’s not in prison?” “Ot course: not,” sald the consul. ‘Ho: was pardoned by the governor.” “He's just the man I wish to sec,” cried Dicky Dunn. Ho found Sant waiting at Cart- ‘wright's office. He was hard-bitted, weather-beaten. gentleman, and halt is face was jaw. That jaw had hold of a long cigar with his back teeth. He continued swoking and chewing, and did both savagely. What Peter ‘had eald to him did not come out, but by agreoment the admiral was intro- duced as Mr, Dunn, “You have reayon not to like Shang: thal Smith?” sald Peter. “That's s0,” nodded Sant. “Mr. Dunn does not Ike him either, Could you make any use of him on board the Harvester?” “T could," sald Sant, grinning; “he'd be. useful man.” “it you imagined you missed s man tomorrow morning Just as you were ‘getting up your anchor, arid some one hhatled you and sald they had picked ‘one up, you would take him aboard?” “Wet or dry,” sald Sant. “TM undertake he shall be wet,” sald the admiral, “Eh?” And he turned to Selwyn. “Yes, sir,” replied the Meutenant, “that could’ be arranged.” “Very well, Mr. Sant,” sald the ad- mira. “And it's understood, of course,” sald Peter, “that you gentlemen never saw each other and don't know each other when you meet, {t being a mat- ter of mutual obligation.” “1 agree,” sald Sant. “And of course," Cartwright added ‘as ho escorted tho admiral and Scl- wyn into the passage, “if there should be a abindy at Smith's und any of your men are in it, we shall all ex- plain that it was owing to your hav- ing been put away.

In fact, unless prompt and correct treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave careful attention to the remedies used for women, made by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was certain to control that dreaded disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts as a remedy for kidney troubles. There are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the only one especially prepared for women. Read What Mrs. Weisslitz Says "Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—For two years my life was simply a burden, I suffered with so female troubles, and pains across my back and knees. The doctor told me that I had kidney troubles and prescribed for me. For three months I took his medicines, but grew steadily worse. My husband then advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and brought home a bottle. It is the greatest blessing ever brought to our home. Within three months I was a changed woman. My pain had disappeared, my complexion became clear, my eyes bright, and my entire system in good shape."—Mrs. Paula Weisslerz, 187 Seneca St., Buffalo, N.Y. Proof that kidney Trouble can be cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—I feel very thankful to you for the good your medicine has done me. I had doctored for years and was steadily growing worse. I had trouble with my kidneys, and two doctors told me I had Bright's disease; also had falling of the womb, and could not walk a block at a time. My back and head ached all the time, and I was so nervous I could not sleep; had hysteria and fainting spells, was tired all the time, had such a pain in my left side that I could hardly stand at times without putting my foot on something. I had a doctor with a doctor, and they did not help me any. I took, in all twelve bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, five boxes of Liver Pill, and used three packages of Sanitary Wash, and feel like a new woman, can eat and sleep well, do all my work, and can walk two miles without feeling over tired. The doctors tell me that my kidneys are all right now. I am so happy to be well, and I feel that I owe it all to your medicine."—Mrs. OPAL STRONG, Dalton, Mass.

The vast low Jurassic island had been raised above the level of the sea, where now the great continent stands. A matrarchal dinosaur was leading her ponderous troop in single file across the uphaved marhyal plain. A dry season had blighted the lower pastures and forced them to travel north to turn northly a Jurassic grasshopper said bizz under her nose. The insect is quite harmless, but it protects itself by imitating the fearful bizz of the ancestral rattlesnake. The old dinosaur wheeled to one side and raised her head. Her little twinkling eyes fell on a rank green marsh, and she now turned and led her troop to that. Each day they came to the feeding ground along first discovered trail, until it was worn Time went by. A wet season made the upland marsh a brimming lake. It would have overloaded to the westward, for this was its lower side, but the deep-worn trail of the Dinosaurus offered an outlet that enlarged with the yearly rains faster than the slowly rising lands could tilt the other way. The dune became a haven. Ages went by. The great upheaval went on. The Rocky mountains arose. The former trail was now a crooked river, flowing eastward, growing larger, carrying into the shallow sea millions of tons of clay, till that shallow sea became the Missouri and Mississippi valley, which might never have existed had the Dinosaur been allowed to follow her original course. Fast, turbid, land creative waters free to seek the Western sea, and the bizz of the harmless grasshopper did it all. —Century. LONG NAME FOR A SHORT BOY. Italian Child Given Distinctly Unique Cognomen. Senator Loiand Stanford and his wife always were adored by the people of California who lived in the vicinity of their home and of the university established by them. Among their admirers was an Italian named Bracchi, who drove the 'bus that carried students back and forth between the campus and their homes. as he was delivering wood and inquired after his family, which was large. 'Dore's one more dana used to be, Mis' Stanford, he replied, beaming proudly. 'Indeed,' said, 'Lady Bountiful,' with a smile, 'and haven't you run out of names by this time, Bracchi?' 'Oh, no,' he said, glowing with delight. 'One's disa gotta da fine' names of all 'And what have you named him?' She looked for some tremendous italian appellation, but the triumphant father replied: "We name him in honor da you. We name him Stanford Junior Uni- erstate Brauchi." Fairy Dancing. A German Christmas legend gives us a dancing Rip Van Winkle. One of the guests at a Christmas feast was induced to leave the festivities within doors by the attraction of strange music from the outside. On wandering through the woods, sounds came he was met by two beautiful girls who invited him to join their Christmas celebration near by. These fairies introduced him to myriads of others like themselves. He drank a cup of wine with them and forgot everything but the fairy dancing and feasting. On being reminded that home he hastened back to the village and decay and all his friends and relatives long dead. The effects of his fairy wine had lasted a century. German children are warned by this story how dangerous it is to wander about at night, especially at Christmas time. She Tried to Squeeze Him. The little man who was the meek escort of the big woman in her rambles through the big shopping establishment had fainted. "Is he subject to this sort of thing?" asked the shopwalker, as he applied a piece of ice to the fortunate man's head and motioned the crowd to stand behind. "Not exactly," replied the prostrate man's better three-quarters. "He's a little nervous sometimes. I tried to buy it without letting him see me, but he heard me give the order." The shopwalker, somewhat suspiciously, "A rolling-pin," said the aggressive angel. And then they understood. Hints for the Christmas Table A pretty center piece for a Christmas dinner is a basket filled with holly and the handle tied with a bow of wide scarlet ribbon. Arrange dainty some sprigs of mistletoe or holly leaves in a ball and fill with ribbon or white embroidered centerpiece. Another pretty effect is obtained from a basketful of evergreen tied with green ribbon and put a few sprigs of holly in the bow of ribbon set on a square of scarlet satin. Another centerpiece is made by placing a nail filled with scarlet and a nail filled with evergreen and fancy dancy fill with assorted nuts and stem raisins.

"I was in a very wretched condition when I commenced to take Peruna. I had catarrh all through my whole body, but thank God, my medicine set me all right. I would not have any other medicine. I was boy of a very bad spell of cold and fever. He is a big healthy boy fifteen months old. I have given him Peruna on and on; since he was born. I think that is why he is so well.

Familiar Tune the Means of Rescuing Youth from Allevy. A remarkable incident is that of a Scottish youth who had learned at home to sing the old psalms that were then as household words to them in the kirk and by the fireplace. When he grew up he wandered away from his native country, was taken captive by the Turks, and made a slave in one of the Barbary states. But he never forgot the songs of Zion, although he sung them in a strange land and to heathen carr. One night he was seizing himself in this manner, when the attention of some sailors on board of an English man-of-war was directed the familiar time. Old Hundred "the sailor" was singing over moonlit waves. At once they surmised the truth that one of their countrymen was languishing away his life as a captive. Quickly arming themselves, they manned a boat, and lost no time in effecting his release. What a joy to him, after eighteen long years passed in sierras. Silence for a Month science for a month. A curious custom prevails in Bulgaria, which must be a hard penalty for the woman who loves to hear the sound of her own voice.

Loud and urgent are the calls from western farms and orchards for scores of thousands of wage earners for the harvesting of the crops and the garnering of the fruits.

The vagrant spirit, the "dead-heart" desire to get along without working, is too conspicuous everywhere—New York Tribune. Chivalry. The chivalry of Europe is, in great measure, a product of the Saracen chivalry which entered Europe in two centuries. It was founded in Constantinople and through Spain.

Even dealers are paying in some cases as much as $50 for a single Chippendale chair of rare pattern, though it be out of repair. A collector in this city paid the other day for a pair of Chairs of less unusual pattern are sold every day for $40, $50 and $100—New York letter. Asked and Answered. "What is a prodigy?" asked the boarding house landlord, as she looked up from a letter she was perusing. "A prodigy," answered the wise guy at the southeast corner of the table, "is something rare. For example, a rare steak would be a prodigy in this hash disdensary." Cause and Effect "You seem to be in a weak and nervous physical condition," said the medical examiner of the insurance company. "You wonder," replied the victim. "Your solicitors have made my life a burden during the past six months." Believes Sea Serpent Exists Benefits Sea Serpent Exists The naturalist of the Belgica expedition to the Zoological Society of France that he believes the sea serpent to exist, and that it is not at all an imaginary creature of song and story. He says it is not a reptile, but a mammal of the order of the phelpspads, to which family the seals belong. In form it resembles somewhat the extinct plesiosaurus, attaining a length of 200 feet, the head and neck being one-fourth of the length, the trunk one-fourth and the tail one-fourth. It never approaches the coast except in pursuit of the fish in which it lives. ALL DIED OUT OF SED. Curse on Zborowski Family Finde Another Victim. That Elliot Zborowski, who was killed on Tuesday in an auto accident at Nice, died as he did, will be no surprise to those in this city who remember him as the greatest daredevil New York and Newport society ever had. Even Foxhall Keone, who had that hat that he wore, broken, was not the equal to this american count for his wild, reckless disregard for life. He was born in this city of a long line of Zborowksis. Strangely enough, his death is in keeping with the traditions of his family, for none of the male members ever dies in bed. Back of this remarkable circumstance is a tale of a curse four generations ago launched at the head of the greatgrandfather of the man who, in his anger, called upon hearsen to prevent any male Zborowski from ever dying in his bed. None has since. Elliot's father was tricked with paralysis and died in his chair before the son could rid for a physician. One of his uncles, Elliot, was killed by a New York, New Haven & Hartford train. Another, Francis, was drowned in a Williamsbridge pond. Still another member of the family was killed by being thrown from a horse, and so the story has gone. Now comes the crushing of this generation's representative in a twentieth century so evident—New York World.

The Doctor's Witness. The board of health returned a death certificate to a carolina physician for correction, with a politically worded note to the effect that while the board did not question the correctness of his diagnosis it was thought he might like to raise his version of the cause of death before the certificate was published. The doctor had written his name in the space reserved for the disease from which the patient died! Bones of Kincz Cardinal Ferrari, who attended the German Catholic Congress, took back with him to Milan as a present the bones of the three kings, Melechior, Gaspar and Balthazar, which were the most famous relics in the Cologne region. The legend is that the relics were taken from the church by Frederick Barburossa's men, and the gift is intended as a reittation.

Problem Buzzed Youngsters Here is a dialogue which took place between Prof. Van Dyke of Philadelphia and his little daughter: "Hapa, where were you born?" "In Boatton, my dear." "Where was mamma born?" "In San Francisco." "And where was mamma?" "In Philadelphia." "Well, it isn't funny how we three people got together." A Serious Condition. Ethal had heard her Sunday school teacher speak of backsliders, and one rainy Sunday morning when her mother thought it best for her not to attend Sunday school, she said: "We need to go mamma, cause teacher says if we go mamma every Sunday our backs will slide!" Decline of a Great University. The University of Valalladillo, Spain, was once famous and was founded by Fordland the Saint in the 12th century. It attained its greatest importance in the 16th century, when there were 6,000 to 7,000 students upon its walls. Nowadays they number about 1,000.
