The High School question is ever before us. Bitter disapproval of the course of the representatives can be heard on every hand. We deplore the matter, because it is class legislation, but no amount of intemperate speeches can do us good. We must act with prudence, care and discretion. Sound sensible level headed men should be listened to. The erratic, irresponsible and thoughtless must be discarded. One very important thing as a race we must learn and that is to honestly differ without falling out. We must learn to reason together and to adjust our differences without so much bad feeling. If we would accomplish any good we must pull together. More anon. Miss Effie Grant of 614 State is sick with LaGrippe. We hope her a speedy recovery. Mrs. Rev.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES As scheduled, and in accordance with the request of the General Assembly of Missouri, the concert given February second by the the Faculty and students of Lincoln Institute was repeated on the night of the anniversary of Washington's birthday, to a large audience of senators, representatives, their families, and many of the leading citizens of Jefferson City. The cultured audience indicated its high appreciation of the literary and musical numbers by close attention and rounds of applause. The speakers, representatives of the senior and sophomore normal classes, with their respective orations, were as follows: The Personality of Washington, William Payton; The Soul of the Old Violin, Lena P. McNeil; Washington the Patriot, Walter Finley; The Professional Nurse, Jennie Schweich; Imperial Missouri, Homer Wilburn. The fine showing that the students of the institute have made in these concerts and elsewhere reflects much credit upon the management and present administration, and the legislative body has not failed to give expression to the recognition of this fact, by heaping honors upon the institution and its administrative head in various tangible ways. Large numbers of legislators have visited the institute, carefully inspecting the dormitories and the work in general; have remarked upon the cleanliness, upon the crowded condition, and upon the high character of the work. Dr. Alonzo Tubbs of the House of Representatives, on Sunday, February 26, was one of several distinguished visitors. Dr. Tubbs has been for many years an ardent and faithful friend of the institution, and on this occasion delivered a most inspiring address. BETRAYING A MASTER. In a London printing office a year or two ago a confidential balance-sheet was being produced. One of the compositors was approached by a well-dressed stranger and offered a large sum for a copy of the figures in the balance-sheet. "No!" he replied, "I could not think of such a thing." The tempter, however, tried another man, who agreed to secure a copy for him. A spoiled sheet gave him an opportunity of betraying his trust, and he would have done so had not a private detective arrested both him and the man who had offered the bribe. To us comes the warning lest we, knowing our Lord's will, deliberately disregard BEING READY AND WILLING The firemen, on the alert for a "call" that may come at any moment, illustrate the readiness and the loins girded about to which our Savior referred. For all emergencies the Lord requires our readiness, and we may be the means, in God's hand, of saving our fellow-men from destruction.—Selected How the Frenchman Read His Books "A curious way to read a book was what I saw the other day coming up from New Orleans," said J. T. Simpson of New Chicago. "It was in a Pulliman sleeping car, and we had a pretty good crowd of northbound tourists. Among them was a queer looking Frenchman; at least, I judged he was such. On his seat I noticed a dozen paper back novels. Shortly after breakfast he began reading one of these at the open window by his seat. As soon as he finished a page he tore it off neatly and threw it out the window. The books were all in French, and before we got to Atlanta he had read three and scattered the French printed pages for hundreds of miles"—Atlanta Constitution. To Stop Sneezing. "There are times when to sneeze is to be embarrassed," said a society man; "at a dinner table, a social function of some sort, or in the theater, for example; but most people console themselves with the thought that it is something that can't be prevented. They are mistaken in this belief, however, for it can be prevented, and by a very simple expedient. When one feels the premonitory symptoms of a sneeze coming on, if he will just press firmly down on the lip on either side of and a little below the nostrils, the symptoms will grudally die off and the sneeze will be avoided."—London Answers. Cowboys in Laced Boots The few cowboys left in the West are taking to laced boots. There was a time, in the heeyday of the cow country, where a special grade of fine, high-heeled, thin-soled boot was manufactured solely for the cowboy trade, since cowboys were always very vain about their footwear. But with decadence of their trade the cattlemen have lost their small vanities, and a full half of them ride in the more comfortable laced boots. So is the old top boot, once worn by most city men, vanquished in its last stronghold.—New York Sun. How "Negus" Originated. Negus, as much enjoyed in the army as grog is in the navy, attains its name from a jovial colonel in the days of George I. This Col. Negus was accustomed to drink the mild elixir of the ancient Roman, wine and water, and made himself so famous in the habit of avoiding imminent quarrels or cooling hot debates among his junior officers by saying in his hearty, contagious tones, "Come, boys, let's drink some of my liquor," till Negus became the sobriquet of wine diluted with water—as the cup of truce. What Japanese Trains Are Like. The railway traveler in Japan buys a first, second or third-class ticket; or, if he wishes to go cheaper still, he can get a ticket entitling him simply to stand on the platform! Many of the cars can be entered either from the side or the end. The principal difference between the first and second-class coaches is the color of the upholstery. None of the cars are very clean. Many of the third-class coaches could serve, without much alteration, as ordinary pigstys. This is all the more remarkable when the incomparable cleanliness of the Japanese home life, even of the humbleest, is taken into consideration.—Booklovers Magazine. Korean a Hard Language. Korean is a difficult language to learn. Trifling errors are likely to lead a foreigner into great embarrassment. It was only the smallest mistake that led an impassioned preacher to warn his congregation that unless they repented they would be relegated to "a cellar"—the Korean word for cellar and the nether world being almost identical. In like manner the story of Lazarus, who fell sick, was told to a Sunday school class with an unauthorized ending. The native form of expression is "entering a sickness," and by a trifling confusion the teacher was made to declare that Lazarus entered a bottle. NOTICE. Two nicely furnished rooms for rent. 1232 Vine street, Mrs. Belle Williams. Ticked Time Two Centuries. The residents of Tialapm, Mex., complain that the public clock of that town is useless; repairs are made every week, but every week the clock gets out of repair and can never be kept in good condition. The Tialapm clock is probably the oldest public clock on the American continent. It was originally installed as a cathedral clock in the year 1657; in 1790 it was donated to the council of San Agustin de las Clevas, near Tialapm, when it was installed there and set in motion. Since that time it has never undergone repairs until a few weeks ago. The clock, however, has told the time for 247 years and it is but natural that it is tired and wants to be sent to a museum. Why Snow Bursts a Gun In a discussion at the Royal society on the effects of sudden pressures, in London recently of some experiments on the effects of sudden pressure, attention was called to a singular experience, which, it was said, people who go shooting in winter sometimes have. If the muzzle of a gun happens to get plugged up with a little snow, the gun invariably bursts when fired in that condition. Light as the plug of snow is, it requires a definite time for a finite pressure, however great, to get it under way, and during this short time the tension of the powder gases becomes so great that the barrel of the ordinary fowling-piece is unable to withstand it. A South African Hoodoo Man A colored man, Jaul Jones, has been committed for trial by the Wynberg Magistrate on a charge of practising as a doctor without a license. Paul Pulse, a laborer, said no went to Rock's farm, where the accused lived. He found the accused and told him that he was sick. Accused took witness into his bedroom, took a tin, put something into it, "truck a match and set fire to it. He then snapped his fingers over it and took a bull's eye glass and examined his chest and body, looked over some playing cards and told witness that there was a frog alive in his stomach. Johannesburg Star. Singed Hair of Cat and Dog Henry Adams a Henry county farmer, was in the city yesterday with a very naked dog and a strange tale of the odd effects of a bolt of lightning that struck his house during the severe storm of Monday afternoon. The lightning struck the kitchen, running down the pipe of the stove, shaving the fur clean from the back of a cat that was asleep beneath the stove, striking the dog as lightly as it had struck the cat, running down the animal's legs to the ground, leaving a trail of singed fur in its wake and doing no damage to either animal beyond a severe fright. -Baltimore Sun The A. T. Moore Undertaking Co. is one of the most enterprising Negro business institutions that Kansas City affords. A. T. Moore and Eli Harris comprise the firm.

The fastest train on the European continent is one from Paris to Saint Quentin, which averages a little more than fifty-nine miles an hour. Dr. Smith succeeds because he knows his business and attends to it. He contributes liberally to churches, and all charitable institutions. We should always support a man of this kind. The editor wishes him continued success. NUMBER 46. OUR FATHER'S HOUSE. Ian Maclaren, beloved author of "The Bonnie Brier Bush," and many another charming book, was lately ad dressing the children of his own church. The British Weekly thus reported in part his beautiful allegorical talk; "I am going to speak to you," he said, "about houses—four houses. First, three, one within another. The first has the sky for a roof, the mountains for walls, the sunlight for windows, the clouds for blinds, the flowers for a carpet, the rivers for its music. The next house may have had six rooms, or twelve, it may have had a garden, or it may have looked on the street, but in it your mother moved about, and its music was the sound of her voice. The next house you will recognize when I say that it has five doors through which you may go out, and through which things may enter; one you look through, one you speak through, one you smell through and one you hear through. Then we come to you yourself, and we are going to think of some of the rooms in this house. There is the library, with its rows of book shelves, and its air of quiet knowledge, this is your mind, and all that you learn at school and read, is going to furnish those empty shelves, everyone's mind is empty to start with, and if it continues empty while you are young, you will be called silly, and when you grow old you will be called dull. No room is more desolate than one surrounded with gaping shelves, no room more beautiful than a well filled library. Then I am talking as if we were going through an old castle) there is the court room—a great bare room with light streaming in, and a raised table at one end where the judge sits. This is your conscience, and the cleaner this room is kept, and the barer, and the stronger the judge who sits here, the better for you and for me. Then there is the strong room where no light comes in, with its thick walls and barred iron door, and here are kept the parchments with all the history of the family. This is memory, and here a book is put away each year, that may not be taken out to be altered but it is a good thing, now and then, to take the parchments up to the big, bare court room, and there spread them out, where there is plenty of light, and examine them. Then there is the picture gallery of imagination, and it is well for us if the walls are hung with pictures of angels and holy things; and there is the church, which is your heart, where you meet with God. You may meet with God in any of these rooms, but here, in this room, you must keep him a holy place apart. Then you may go out upon the roof, and afar off catch a glimpse of the house beautiful, our fourth house, which I am not going to try to describe, but which we call "Our Father's House." HARRY SPARROW, "The Mad Juggler," who has visited the Orpheum here, and who had a very unique act accompanied with individual comedy, died of pneumonia in Bellevue hospital, January 31. He had been before the public many years, and his services were in great demand. WHEN John Philip Sousa returns to this country from his present European tour, it is said he will bring with him the completed score of a comic opera, the book of which is being written by Harry B. Smith, and which the bandmaster will produce early next season. Gate Keeper Is Reasonable. The gate keeper at a level crossing in France, who was held responsible for a railroad disaster, was sentenced to a year's imprisonment. ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS TAKE OATH Thousands of Visitors Throng National Capital to Witness the Ceremony-Procession the Greatest Seen in Washington Since the Close of the Civil War. PROGRAM. President left White House for the Capitol. 11:55 a. m. President entered Senate chamber. 12 Noon. President pro tem of Senate administered oath of office to Vice President elect Fairbanks, who delivered his inaugural address. 12:30 p. m. Entire assemblage proceeded to stand at east front of the Capitol, where President Roosevelt took oath of office and delivered his inaugural address. 2 p. m. President returned to White House. Grand parade followed. 7:30 p. m. Lumination of city and display of fireworks. Inaugural ball. opened by President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt was on March 4 transformed from president by chance into president by choice from president through an assasin's bullet into president through the ballots of the people. Under the shadow of the gravedon capital, gazing into the placid marble features of Greenough's statue of the first president, the twenty-sixth president of the United States swore faithfully to execute the laws and to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution. There were represented in the throngs that had journeyed to the capital to greet President Roosevelt men from the North, South, East and West, and from distant islands of the seas; from the Philippines, from Porto Rico, from Hawaii—from every land where floats the emblem of the Republic. In the great parade there rode governors of states, both North and South. The president's old rancher friends, with lariat and chaparejos and wiry bronchos, made strange contrast to the stiff backed, pouter chested young men from the national military schools. Rough Riders from San Juan Hill, volunteers from Santiago, jackies from Manila bay shared the plaudits of the multitude with modest, every day soldiers, for whom the title Regular is distinction quite enough. Political clubs from East and West, militiamen from North and South, blue-clad veterans of the sixties heroes of the Spanish-American war, miners from Pennsylvania, the entire legislature of the state of Tennessee the president's neighbors from Oyster Bay—all contributed to the national character of the splendid pageant. There were waiting for the president when he emerged from the white house thirty picked men from the Rough Riders under Gov. Brodie. With the crack squadron A of the First Cavairy, U. S. Army, they formed his escort to the capitol. As they swung around the treasury building into Pennsylvania avenue a division of the G. A. R., with Gen. O. O. Howard and staff in the lead, which had been standing at salute, wheeled into the column, while the cavalrymen checked their pace to accommodate the slower footsteps of the aned veterans. A mighty wave of cheers swept along the avenue as the president's carriage came in sight. Throughout the whole route the president, with hat in hand, kept bowing in acknowledgment of the greetings. On his arrival at the capitol he was conducted to the president's room, in the rear of the senate chamber, where he began at once the signing of belated bills. At noon he entered the abode of the senate to witness the Installation of Senator Fairbanks as vice president. This ceremony concluded, he proceeded to the stand on the east front of the capitol to receive the oath from Chief Justice Fuller and to deliver his inaugural address. Immediately upon its conclusion the president was escorted back to the white house, where, after lunch with the officials of the inaugural committee, he took his position on the stand in front to review the formal inaugural parade. Inauguration Ceremonies. The broad plaza whose level surface stretches east from the national capitol can accommodate an army. For hours Washington poured its own population and a vast increment of visitors into the front yard of the seat of government. Eight acres of humanity spread fan-shaped from the focus made by a little covered shelter, open at the sides, where the president was to stand. Over toward the imposing facade of the congressional library it extended, literally a "sea of faces." There may have been only 50,000; probably there were nearer 100,000 in sight of the president when he took the cath. The imposing form of Associate Justice John Marshall Harlan, who is almost heroic in stature, was the first to catch the eye of the vast crowd. Flanked by the marshal of the Supreme Court and the marshal of the District of Columbia, Justice Harlan led his colleagues, garbed in flowing robes of black, topped with satin skull caps, to their seats at the left of the tribune. Attet a brief pause. Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador and dean of the diplomatic corps, marshaled forth the ambassadors and ministers of foreign countries. Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Fairbanks were next escorted to seats just outside the tribune. The president's children were with Mrs. Roosevelt, and Mr. Fairbanks' two sons, students at Yale, and his daughter, Mrs. Adelade Timmons, were with Mrs. Fairbanks. Mrs. Roosevelt was gowned in a severely plain tailored suit of electric blue; the round skirt was trimmed in bands of lighter shade panne velvet, and the short, modish jacket had a vest of the panne braided in silver. Mrs. Fairbanks were a beautiful dress of brown velvet, trimmed with chiffon and whiteermine. Her hat and gloves were also white. Vice President Fairbanks, accompanied by the secretary of the senate and followed by the senators and ex senators, was next in VICE-PRESIDENT FAIRBANK. [Illustration of a man in a suit with a bow tie and a beard.] Miguel Ot Inaugurated March 4. 1905. order. Then came Speaker Cannon and the house of representatives. The instant the tail form of the vice president appeared a swelling cheer burst from the crowd. Mr. Fairbanks bowed repeatedly before taking his chair. Secretary Hay and other members of the cabinet were ushered to their chairs, and at their heels came Admiral Dewey and Lieut. Gen. Chaffee, Balows of cheers greeted Admiral Dewey, and the hero of Manila bay showed that he was pleased. The governors of states and territories and the other invited guests followed in indiscriminate fashion, and in a short time all was in readiness for the coming of the chief executive. President Roosevelt advanced from the door of the capitol, arm in arm with Chief Justice Fuller. Instantly, from all parts of the eight acres of humanity, arose a prolonged, tumultuous shout. Behind the president and his white-haired companion came James H. McKinney, clerk of the supreme court, bearing a ponderous Bible. When the demonstration ceased, Chief Justice Fuller, his snowy locks failing to his shoulders, pronounced the oath. President Roosevelt's voice was easily audible at some distance when he repeated the formal declaration prescribed in article II of the Constitution: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." A second later he bowed and pressed his lips upon the open pages of Holy Writ. Again erect, he faced the people, and for an instant perfect silence held. A signal had been flashed from the dome of the capitol to the navy yard, whence came the boom of a ten-inch gun, first of THE PROCESSION IN PENN THE PROCESSION IN PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. twenty-one, fired in honor of the newly inaugurated chief executive. The tension was broken, and a roar of cheers resounded far and wide across the plaza. For many minutes the jangle of sounds continued before the president could find a chance to begin his inaugural address. The conclusion of the address was the signal for another ovation, during which Mr. Roosevelt rhook hands with most of the notables who pressed about the tribune. Then he was escorted back to the rotunda of the Capitol and thence to the executive chamber, where he held a brief reception before leaving for the White House. Vice-President Sworn in. Senator Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indiana, became vice-president of the United States shortly after the marble-faced clocks of the senate chamber registered noon. At that hour Senator Frye, president pro tem, hammered the marble desk, and announced in set formula that the senate of the Fifty-eighth congress was adjourned sine die; then he immediately called the extraordinary session of the senate of the Fifty-ninth congress to order. Mr. Fairbanks was forthwith ushered into the chamber, the senate members of the Inaugural committee M. G. W. acting as his escort. He proceeded to the rostrum, where Senator Fryer administered the usual oath. The new vice-president's first official act was to call upon the senate's chaplain, the Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, to pray. Mr. Fairbanks then delivered his inaugural address, and, at its conclusion, he instructed the secretary to read the president's proclamation convening the extraordinary session of the senate. Next the new senators were called to the secretary's desk and took the oath. President Roosevelt was then escorted back to the executive chamber, adjoining the marble room, preparatory to going to the east portico, himself to take the oath of office. The other distinguished visitors filed out of the chamber in the order of official precedence, and went to the seats as signed them for the president's ceremony. With standards waving, guildions whipping in the breeze, and regional colors flaunting, infantry, cavalry, and artillery tramped, pranced, and rumbled through historic Pennsylvania avenue. Experienced observers declared that the procession beat all its predecessors, even that of McKinley's second inauguration. Not since the review of the Federal army after the Civil war has the Avenue seen so many and such variety of soldiers. There were between thirty-three and thirty-five thousand men in line. For three hours the mobilization progressed along First street, Pennsylvania avenue, and confluent streets about the Capitol. Ahead of the parade proper President Roosevelt and his escort, this time composed solely of the Rough INSYLVANIA AVENUE. The Great Parade. Riders and Squadron A, at a brisk clip proceeded up the Avenue to the White House, where the president, after his lunch, took position in the grand reviewing stand, surrounded by members of his cabinet, the diplomats and other notables. Then, to the blare of bugles, the big procession started. The first brigade was headed by Lieut. Gen. Wade, in command of the entire military section. After him came the Fifth band, artillery corps, stationed at Fort Hamilton, New York. This was first of forty bands in the parade. Sustaining their reputation of being the most perfectly drilled body of troops in the world, next followed the corps of cadets from the United States military academy. Naturally they divided honors with the future admirals from Annapolis, who marched immediately behind, dressed in natty suits of navy blue, the jolly jack-tar spirit fairly shining in their boyish faces. Then came the regulars, real enlisted men, five hundred of the Second battalion of engineers swinging along behind their own band. Then came the state troops. To the number of 14,000 they occupied nearly two hours in passing a given point. In order to prevent disputes as to precedence cacn state contingent came in alphabetical order, so that Alabama, with a single company of her Third regiment, led the way. Indiana, Vice President Fairbanks' home state, had only a company to her credit, sixth in line, while the president's state, New York, with the largest quota, three full regiments and several separate bodies, totaling nearly 4,000 men, was tenth in order. Although soldiery was the chief feature, the civilian organizations forming the second section of the parade showed up strong in numbers. Marching in the open order affected by political clubs, they spread all over the avenue. There were about 15,000 in line. They seemed to be passing an interminable time, mostly wearing top hats and twirling fragile walking sticks. Ohio, which usually manages to make her presence felt, kept up her reputation. She had in line the famous Rail-splitters of the Toledo Lincoln club, the Tippecance club of Cleveland, the famous singing organizations of Columbus, the Buckeye and Republican glee clubs, the Knights of Maceabees and the Fleischmann Republican club of Cincinnati. The Spanish war veterans followed the G. A. R. veterans, there being about 2,000 all told of these two societies. The Ball. Inaugural balls are the biggest social functions that occur in America. The evening's reception at the Pension building exceeded in grandeur its predecessors in the great edifice. There were in the neighborhood of 12,000 persons at the ball. Mrs. Roosevelt's ball gown was made of a special weave of a new shade of light blue silk with figures of doves in gold tinsel. The shade has been named "Alice blue," in honor of the president's daughter, who selected the material at the St. Louis fair. The doves, which are represented as flying diagonally across the blue of the dress, are of varying sizes, from two inches between the tips of the wings down to the size of a bee. Mrs. Fairbanks wore a gown of white satin duchesse, embroidered with roses of gold in the natural size of the flower. The lace trimming was of Brussels point d'applique, with a design of bow-knots and marguerites interwoven. The decorations of the ball-room outdid anything that ever before has been attempted. Walls, columns, windows and every nook and corner were covered with greens and cut flowers, palms and ferns, flags, banners and bunting, so that the thousands of guests might lock with interest upon something else of beauty than dazzling gowns and glittering jewels. The doors of the Pension building were thrown open at 8 o'clock, but the president and his party did not arrive until 9 o'clock. They went immediately to rooms specially prepared, carpeted and decorated for their reception, and a half hour later the grand march commenced. President and Mrs. Roosevelt leading. All festivities closed sharply at midnight, because it was believed best to trespass no Sabbath principles. Thus the usual practice of the president's leaving at midnight and turning the hall over to the populace to dance until daybreak had to be abandoned. Concerts will be given at the Pension office next week, so that those who do not attend the ball may have an opportunity to see the decorations. Woman's Kidney Troubles Lydia E.

Spring planting of strawberries which requires work and has the use of one's land a whole year without profit, may be a good system in dry summers, but in wet summers like 1904 and the last three, give me late summer and fall planting. My spring plants were put on clean ground, but rains came on and made it too wet to go upon with horse and cultivator, but weeds grew like magic. Being busy with more pressing work, they had to be hoed or given to the weeds, not counting other trops, which would have to be neglected, it would cost more than the berries would bring, and so much of the spring planting must be plowed under. Now, let us look at the August planting. Early potatoes and bean vines were turned under August 1. First runners were set in rows three inches apart August 6 and would have made matted rows before frost, I followed to do so.—A. T. Goldsborough, in Western Fruit Grower.

Pinkham's Vege cially Successful i Disease. Mrs. J. W. Lang an Of all the diseases known, with which women are afflicted, kidney disease is the most common form of the disease and the treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham early in her career, gave exhaustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman'sills — Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound — was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in harmony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the only one especially prepared for women, and thousands have been cured of serious kidney derangements by it. Derangements of the feminine organs quickly affect the kidneys, and when a woman has such symptoms as pain or weight in the loins, backache, bearing down pains, urine too frequent scanty or high colored, producing scalding or burning, or deposits like brick dust in it; unusual thirst, swelling of hands and feet, swelling under the eyes or sharp pains in the back running down the inside of her groin, she may be sure her kidneys are affected and should lose no time in combating the disease with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, the woman's remedy for woman'sills. The following letters show how marvelously successful it is. Lvdla E.

Velvet is the fabric par excellence for late winter and early spring wear, and when one says velvet nowadays one means always chiffon velvet. The discovery of this particular weave accounts almost altogether for the material's popularity, for the velvets of other days, although deep and rich in tone and pile and with beautiful sheen, lacked lightness and softness and suppleness which are required in all but gowns of state. A beautiful Paris model which has just seen the light is developed in the much sought after velvet, and on the lines of the quite as popular Redingote model. It is fashioned of reseda chiffon velvet, with a skirt and waistcoat of satin the same shade, embroidered with reseda silk, chenille and silver threads. The Redingote as a far back revival attracts much attention from modistes and women who dress, but other long coat effects are shown. The Louis coats are very popular, with their many modifications, the Directoire, and the Russian tunic. But the long coat has not and it seems now can not throw the ever popular bolero into the shade. As many boleros, if not more, are shown now than ever. Coats for Girls The genuine Louis or Directorle coat is considered too old for a girl under 18, and, as a matter of fact, demands a well developed and matured figure; but the idea of the silk coat worn with skirt of mousseline, chiffon, etc., is carried out in a jaunty bolero of silk worn over a sheer blouse and skirt for house and dinner wear; and occasionally one does see a short full basqued little coat of silk even upon the young girl, though in this case the coat is usually modified by the addition of a girdle or a corded girdle line, over which the coat blouses, or in some other girlish fashion. A wonderfully dainty little model sent over from Paris for an 18-year-old girl had a little bloused coat with girdle and full short basques made from white taffeta flowered in minute pink and green rose sprays. The coat opened in front over a blouse front of white mousseline and real Valenciennes, and the full skirt was of white mousseline inset with Valenciennes and painted in water color with interlacing garlands of roses and leaves in harmony with the design in the flowered coat. Skirte Are Full and Soft. Skirts are full and soft, with many tucks, shirred and corded flouces, and circular flouces set on, the fullness necessitating a support in some invisible way. This, as a rule, is given by a band of pliable princess haircloth in the drop skirt. Most of the new sleeve models are puffs to the elbow; the lower arm, however, is very variously treated; it just depends on the designer's fancy. By far the larger number, both of costume and separate waists, have elbow sleeves, with frill or cuff en suite, and lace or chiffon frills; if the sleeve is carried to the wrist it must be in a long cuff, more or less decorative, according to the material and purpose of the garment. Artistic Chiffon Scarfs. The chiffon scarfs which a young woman artist in this town is painting this winter are exquisite. Some of the patterns show Moorish or Japanese designs, and others flowers in naturalistic style. Made of two yards of chiffon, each is painted from an original design. These scarfs are to be worn around the neck with the ends either fastened in front or thrown over the right shoulder. A pale yellow one recently finished and showing a design of white blossoms, is one of the most effective. I Resed green cloth with trimmings of green velvet and green braid. Embroidered Ribbon A new fad 'is being introduced which promises to be popular. It is that of using embroidered neck pieces, belts and stocks as well as for various kinds of fancy work such as pillow ruffles, etc. The embroidery is done in conventional design in floss silk to contrast with the ribbon. No design, is needed, the embroidery being worked over serim which is placed over the ribbon. When the work is entirely completed, the threads of the serim running both ways, are withdrawn, and the embroidered pattern is left on the ribbon. The same process is being applied to shirt waists of plain white material, the embroidery in this case being done in liner floss, and used on the front box pleat, the shoulder pieces and the cuffs of the waist. In a waist where the back comes over the shoulders in yoke effect, a row of embroidery finishes the shoulder piece where it joins the front. Charming Blouse Suit As the small girl develops her ideas of fashion for herself, she desires A girl in a dress with a hat and a necktie. frocks a little different from her associates, and something decidedly new and becoming. Here is a suggestion for a blouse suit to be made in one of the fetching new wool fabrics. The linen collar and scarf, tied four-in-hand, are a pleasing finish to the neck. A New Coiffure Here is a "wrinkle" for those who boast a sufficient quantity of hair to make a good, thick and long plait. Divide your locks into two equal halves and make a couple of plaits; bring one up toward the front round each side of the head, crossing them cleverly in front, and this will not be perceived; the ends will tuck under at the sides of the head and the plait that is visible across the brow will appear to be one long plait simply. Of course, for a really fashionable coifure this is not adequate; the hairdressers when they ordain the fashion have too keen an eye to business to introduce a simple style that can be easily accomplished by the wearer and the new method of hairdressing demands not only enough hair to make the full plait coronet-shaped above the forehead, but also enough to turn back over a pompadour front and to build into coils or curls behind. Only it is possible to combine the fashionable detail with one's own common sense and to make the plait alone suffice, when one has enough hair to construct this becoming coronet. Latest in Trimmings New trimmings are many this season and are being rapidly shown. Pallelette trimmings in delicate colors and in opalescent tints have received much favor. In pale blue, pink or gray they have the same iridescence as the opaline tints and are very rich in massed effects. Chenille fringe is again being made much of this season for trimmings, especially for evening coats and capes. They come in simple and elaborate styles, and no more beautiful or favored garniture could be chosen. Heavy crochet trimmings are seen on the newest models of cloth gowns, with crocheted pendants to match. The crocheted trimmings are also seen on silk and velvet dresses. Fancy stitching is revived again—if it has ever died. Some of the designs are very intricate, and padding is used at times, to make the design stand out better. Grape Apples Core sound apples and pare, but leave three narrow bands of peel, to help keep them in shape. Put unfermed grape juice on the stove to boil, and if not sweet enough add sugar to taste. Put in the apples and slimmer till tender, then lift carefully to a glass dish and boil the juice down till thick and pour over the apples. Serve cold with whipped cream. They are delicious and will go right to the spot every time. Useful Natty Nets. Golden halos of silken hair are not to be excelled as beautifiers for pretty faces, but the wise girl will incase her bun in a net these windy days. Of course the revival of the net has not met with great favor among those who have lovely hair, but the girl with scanty locks who likes to do them up loosely and the young person with flying ends and a longing for neatness alike find great comfort in the return of the hair net. Counted Him Twice. This story was told me by a brother Briton, and it may be old; but I can't help repeating it, so here goes: An Englishman was standing outside a saloon in Londonderry. He heard sounds of conflict, and suddenly a dark object shot out of the doorway. It picked itself up and spoke to the onlooker. "Did you see that? Stand where you are and count the dead ones as they come out." Then Patt disappeared inside again. A minute later another dark object shot out into the main street. "One," said the Englishman. "Stop, that counting, ye idjit, exclaimed the object, picking himself up. "It's me again."

Woman Afflicted for Years by Strange Spells of Numbness and Weakness Recover Perfect Health. When she was fourteen years old, Mrs. Ida L. Brown had St. Vitus' dance. She finally got over the most noticeable features of the strange ailment, but was still troubled by very uncomfortable sensations, which she recently described as follows: "One hand, half of my face, and half of my tongue would get cold and numb. These feelings would come on, last for about ten minutes, and then go away, several times a day. Besides I would have palpitation of the heart, and my strength would get so low that I could hardly breathe. As time went on these spells kept coming offener and growing worse. The numbness would sometimes extend over half my body." "How did you get rid of them?" "It seemed for a long time as if I never could get rid of them. It was not until about six years ago that I found a remedy that had virtue enough in it to reach my case. That was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and they have since entirely cured me." "Did it take long to effect a cure?" "No! I hadn't taken the whole of the first box before I saw a great improvement. So I kept on using them, growing better all the time, until I had taken eight boxes and then I was perfectly well, and I have remained in good health ever since with one exception." "Oh! that was when I had the grip. I was in bed, under the doctor's care, for two weeks. When I got up I had dreadful attacks of dizziness. I had to grasp hold of something or I would fall right down. I was just miserable, and when I saw the doctor was not helping me, I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills again. In a short time they cured me of that trouble too, and I have never had any dizzy spells since." Mrs. Brown lives at No. 1705 DeWitt street, Mattoon, Illinois.

Oddities of Zoology "Zooobay has its oddities," said John Lover, the Zoo keeper, "and that is why I study it at night, after my regular work is done. "There are certain animals whose circulation reverses its direction at short intervals. The blood flows one way in them for a while, then it turns and flows the other way. "There are insects that have their ears on their legs. Others have their ears on their tails. As for the eyes, well, they may be found on the back, on the shell, on the limbs, practically everywhere. "There are animals that lay two and three different kind of eggs, and there are eggs that each produce from two to eight young. "There are Siamese twin animals, with two bodies perfectly united. There are males that live in the gullets of females. There are animals that commit suicide rather than be slain. "Altogether zoology is odd and interesting. I would rather study it at night than go to the play."—Philadelphia Ledger. Brutes in Company Down in Mazatlan the other day, one western coast of the dreamy land of Manana, a bear broke loose from an itinerant circus and sought lair in a native saloon. There his bearship met a crowd of thirsty peon loafers, who with unknown celerity forsook their aguajardiente and fled. All but one. He was too drunk. "Prtty—hie!—doggy," crooned the paralyzed one and made as to stroke the wild beast's fur. "Grrrr—" said bruin, and in the midst of the intimate festivities that followed a goodly jug of Mexican whisky was dis lodged and largely uncorked. When circus folk came upon the scene with ropes in search of what was theirs they found a drunken bear and a drunken peon rubbing noses on the floor in a perfectly friendly test as to which could lap up the most before the fluid brimstone should soak away. Los Angeles Times. Bear Broke Log Jam A log jam on an Illinois river was broken in a peculiar manner. A brown bear was noticed by one of the river men prowling around the skids, and later was observed crawling over the piled up timber. Gradually Brunl worked his way down to the key log and attacked it frantically. Instantly the mass of logs broke. The bear was crushed to pieces. Later it was learned that the key log was filled with honey. Simple Cause of Death Mrs. Horace E. May of Wilmington, Vt., recently lost a valuable pair of two-year-old steers, in a peculiar manner. The steers were chained together in a stall and in some manner they became so entangled in the chain that both choked to death. Apparently one had lain down and the other had stepped across its neck and then the first one had attempted to get up with fatal results to both. Our System of Civilization In England the upper class gambles, but does not drink; the middle class drinks, but does not gamble; and the lower class both drinks and gambles.

Rockefeller makes it a custom to address his servants at morning and evening prayers. One of the maids was asked by a friend if she appreciated the riscourses. "I never thought of that," she replied. And then she added: "I only looks at the old man, and thinks to myself. You poor, dear, gentleman, how you are enjoying yourself—George Creel's Independent. Kind Lady: What! you are here again?

OFFICE-No. 117 West Sixth, St. Kansas City, Mo. CLDEST NEGRO JOURNAL ... IN KANSAS CITY, The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Golored weekly newspapers. The Republicans of Missouri, if they should fail in electing a United States Senator, they will stay in the wilderness a long time again before they see daylight. There are too many good Republicans for this opportunity to be overlooked. Wonder what ever possessed the colored people to want to establish a separate school in Kansas anyhow? They had every right and privilege that could be given for educational purposes. I wonder if they thought they could improve it by establishing a separate school? You see the results of it now. The white people of the South will find it hard to get the outside world to believe in their sincerity in denouncing social equality with Negroes, as long as southern white men continue to be the fathers of children whoces mothers are Negroes, and some of them as black as God knows how to make them. These men rear and rant about social equality with Negroes all day long, and sleep with Negro women all night long. Go into our Negro school in any city, town or in the country, and the little children's complexion will tell whats been going on with mother and some white fellow, Georgia Baptist. The Kansas City Star in an editorial was very courteous in saying that the colored people were true to the charter. It seems that the smoke that prevailed between the blacks and whites in Kansas has about passed away, and not only will the Separate School law be passed in Kansas City, Kansas, but it seems to have got the fever and is speading very fast all over Kansas. It would be a very hard thing to tell just what the negroes ought to do to hold his own against legislation. Every now and then some little yellow dog politician bobs up with a bill to disinherit him of some of his rights as a citizen. We have too many ladies in our race who are hypocrites in their hearts and to make themselves great the whole race must suffer. A petition has been sent Governor Folk by some of our leading colored citizens, asking that a State reformatory be established for colored girls. Since the separate school law is in operation in Missouri. We hope the governor will give the petition favorable consideration. To His Excellency, Jos. W. Folk, Governor of Missouri: "Your petitioners, the Missouri State Federation of Colored Women, representing more than a thousand women of the State of Missouri, most respectfully show to your excellency in behalf of the colored girls of the race that, "In the larger towns and cities of our State are many girls whose home surroundings and home training have not been such as to inculcate habits of honesty, industry and right living; "That in many cases the mothers of such girls have been forced, by poverty, to become wage-carners, and their families have received their training in the street or alley, or in the wine-room. In several instances they have been convicted of petty offenses, sometimes they are sent to the workhouse or to the jail, where their association with older criminals is a baleful influence; or they are returned to the miserable home or the streets from which they came, to become shrewder, more hardened in crime and later to swell the number in the annals of the police courts; "That since there fs in our State a reformatory institution, or Industrial Home, "where girls removed from vicious association and evil influences may receive a careful physical, intel- lectual and moral training and become good domestic women, prudent in speech and conduct, cleanly, industrious and capable housekeepers'; "That since the separate school law of Missouri renders the admission of Negro girls to this 'Industrial Home' impracticable, and since the girls of that race, with their heritage of slavery, poverty and wrong need by so much more the influence and training of such a home; and since the moral status of a people is reckoned from the standpoint of the female, to neglect the training of the incorrigible Negro girl is to send abroad those who will sow broadcast and disseminate evil, which will touch the homes of our best citizens of both races; "Therefore we do most humbly petition your excellency to recommend to the Legislature, now in session, to make an appropriation providing for the reformatory training of Negro girls in Missouri. THERE ARE 1,800 chorus girls in New York city, and about 1,000 stage girls who stand around and are looked at, but who cannot sing. What becomes of them? Are they ambitious? I had a heart to heart talk with one yesterday, says a writer in the New York Telegraph. Here is about the way the conversation ran, I doing the asking, she doing the answering. "Do you like being a chorus girl?" "Pretty good." "Will you always be one?" "Nixey." "Are you ambitious?" "Sure thing." "Do you want to rise in your profession?" "Why not?" "Do you like Shakespeare?" "Crazy about him." "Which of his plays do you like the best?" "That one about a man." "Oh, 'Hamlet,' you mean." "No, the other one." "Probably 'Othello.'" "That's it." "Who is your favorite dramatist?". "I don't like any of them." "Who is your favorite musician?" "The man that wrote 'Under the Bamboo Tree,' I could die singing that." "Who is your favorite actor, and why?" "The Rogers Brothers; they're great." "Do you want to act in comedy, or tragedy, or drama, or melodrama?" "None of 'em. I want to play in a short skirt, have about five entrances, do a turn with some good man, and talk. I would not sing." "What do you want to do when you quit the stage?" "Keep a boarding house." MRS. PATRICK CAMPBELL'S recovery from that broken leg in Philadelphia has been more rapid than expected and the famous English actress is now enjoying a brief vacation and is in as perfect health as ever before. She will resume her tour in "The Sorceress" in Chicago on March 6 and play out the remaining engagements originally booked for her. ROBERT MANTELL says the new press agent of a dime museum went home with a glass eater to spend the night. Both were overjoyous and made great ado in opening the door. As they scrapped over the keyhole a window was raised on the floor above and a whiskered person reviled them in terms that would have been pungent in Sheol. The press agent was there with a line of fancy invective himself, and he cut loose with one of those scorching phrases for which there is no adequate comeback from any male. "Nix. coll, cheese!" cried the glass-eater in alarm. "That's my wife—the bearded lady." SEPARATE HOSPITAL QUESTION. Why should the Negroes of this city favor a separate hospital for Negroes? The question hinges upon the same argument upon which the separate school question rests. There is no way to convince the Son that a separate city hospital for Negroes would be a good thing. The movement, if successful, would increase the amount of revenue used for such purpose and the Negro patients would not receive the same care and attention as the white patients would receive. Now who is benefited in the event that such measure is carried to a successful end? Surely not the Negro patients. Again the Son would urge that race distinction in so far as public rights are concerned is not what we are looking for. If we are sick we want the same chance to get well that the white man has. Legislation for separate institutions (public) for Negroes means that we shall forever remain in the rear. The Lover's Wish. The Lover's Wish. If I but know the poet's art, The first thing I do. Would be to choose any choicest phrase, And sing a song to you. I'd sing the glory of your hair, The splendid of your eyes. The beauty of your tender soul That deep within them lies. I'd sing the softness of your voice, The sweetness of your face. And I would delight in depict Your loveliness and grace. I'd sing the charm your presence has, The beauty of your form, The witchery of your rounded arms, So shapely, soft and warm. I'd sing your cleverness and tact, Your brightness and your wilt. And I would add your new charm That I might sing of it. Oh, that I knew the poet's art, As happier lovers do. That I might choose each choicest phrase And sing a song to you. Somerville Journal PRECEDENT NOT MAIN THING. Much More Than That Needed for Successful Lawsuit. "The trouble with me," said the client, "is that I have an elderly relative who insists on throwing away his money on alleged charitable institutions and other unworthy objects. I don't know whether he has made a will or not, but if he has I have reason to believe it is not in my favor. At any rate, if he keeps on there won't be anything for him to leave to anybody. Now, it occurred to me that this conduct on his part indicates an unsound mind. Could he not be restrained by an injunction, or couldn't we have a commission de lunatico inquirendo appointed to set aside his will before it is made? I am a layman, of course, and do not know exactly. Perhaps there is no precedent for such a thing. What do you think?" "My dear sir," said the lawyer, "in these matters it is not so much a precedent that is required as a retainer. If you wish to put up the money——" But the client didn't. THE POWER OF PURPOSE. Chief Requisite for the Man Who Would Be Successful. We all can measure the outward triumph of a man's life, but we rarely measure the forces out of which the triumph sprang. Men suddenly emerge into the blaze of fame, and then the world wakes up and wonders how it has all happened. There is no such thing as luck in any world over which God presides. What, then, is the secret? It is purpose. The great victories which men praise are always won first of all in a man's own soul. The great men who stamp themselves inceaseably on the ages are always the men who are capable of conceiving a purpose clearly, and of following it courageously through evil and good report. You may sweep aside as relatively trivial all questions of the range of their gifts, the scope of their intellectual life. The great thing which you have to reckon with is the immense strength and heroic persistence of their purpose.—W. J. Dawson Origin of the Monocole. The proposal to permit the use of spectacles to British soldiers is a reminder that from their prohibition came the monocle. About a century ago an army order was issued forbidding officers to wear eyeglasses or spectacles. But a short-sighted officer belonging to a crack regiment had no mind to resign his commission or stumble blindly, and he invented the single eyeglass. When called to account by the authorities he claimed that the monocle, being of the singular number, did not contravene the order against spectacles and glasses in the plural. Red tape accepted this literal rendering of the law, and, becoming popular in the British army the monocle was adopted by civilian beaus. Of Other Days. Let us get down here, me and you!

"Once, when I had occasion to withdraw $25 from my bank," remarked the conscientious man, "something happened which almost tempted me to think that honesty may at times be not so very commendable. By a curious mistake, considering the small amount of money, the cashier handed out six five-dollar gold pieces. Without thinking what it meant to him I shoved one of the coins back saying: 'You have given me too much.' The look that man gave me I have never forgotten, although even at this day I cannot describe it. But I can assure you it was not a grateful glance." Easy When You Know How. "It's remarkable." said the doctor, "how much excitement a bean, or some equally small object, can cause when it is lodged in a baby's nose. This morning a frantic mother rushed into my office and implored me to extract a bead which her baby had put into its nose. Improvising a suitably bent probe from a hairpin I borrowed from the hysterical woman I succeeded in removing the bead in less time than it would take time to count six. And the first thing the woman said was: 'Why, I could have done that myself.'" BATTLING NELSON and YOUNG CORBETT will come together next Wednesday night out in California and while the latter is supremely confident that he will regain his lost laurels, the Dane expects to finish his man in less than ten rounds. Judging from all reports Corbett has the best of it in condition, having been in training for some months. Nelson on the other hand has had to scale down from 150 and it has not been an easy task. Simple Test With Litmus Paper Showed Acid. The state experiment stations are doing a great work for the farmers. The following incident shows how simple some of the tests are "when you know how," says a writer in Country Life in America. A station official was going over a farm with the owner when they came to a crawfish piece of land just back of the barn, the very weeds looked yellow and unhealthful. "I am inclined to think," remarked the agriculturist, "that this land is too acid for productivity. We can determine this in a moment." Taking a blue piece of paper from his pocket he stooped and dipped the paper in some of the soil water that was standing in a cow track. To the owner's astonishment the blue paper changed to a red color as soon as it was immersed. "There," said the agriculturist, "we have our proof. This is just a piece of litmus paper. For 5 cents you can buy a similar piece at any drug store. Its change of color shows that the land is sour. Crops cannot thrive on sour land any more than children can thrive on sour milk." FISHING LINES FROM GRUBS. Details In the Manufacture of Silkworm Gut. It has been found that silkworm gut forms the best line for fishing purposes, partly on account of its great tenacity and partly because it is so transparent. Every year a sufficient number of Spanish silkworm grubs are selected for this purpose. After they have eaten enough mulberry leaves, and before they begin to spin, they are thrown into vinegar for several hours. Each insect is killed and the substance which the grub in the natural course would have spun into a cocoon is forcibly drawn from the dead worm into a much thicker and shorter silken thread. The threads are then placed in pure water for about four hours and afterward dipped for ten minutes in a solution of soft soap. The fine outer skin is thus loosened, so that the workman can remove it with his hands. The threads must be dried in a shady place, and are often bleached with sulphur vapor until they acquire the bright appearance of spun glass.

IN AN INDIAN CAMP. Protea decttenn tacnaattnn ainda thors eatenenl daca titania etn ty-five years ago, and struck out for the wilderness of Upper Canada. They had heard, says the Montreal Witness, that Indians might be found in that part of the country, and they kept a sharp watch for their dusky foes. But one night, as they were en- camped beside a stream, they were overwhelmed with astonishment and fear by seeing a small band of Indians suddenly arrive. ‘As it was too late to try to escape, the young fellows decided to parley with the savages; but their “parley- ing” was rendered of no effect by the fact that while the Indians spoke not a word of English, the Scotch boys were totally ignorant of the sign lan- guage in which the Indians tried to converse. . But presently the savages made a gesture which plainly meant, “Come along.” “Well,” sald one of the boys to the other, “it is evident that we have got to die.” “In any event, we will die like men,” said the other. Soon they reached a large Indian lodge, which they entered. The In- dians beckoned to them to sit down in front of a large fire in the center of the lodge, which was directly beneath a hole in the roof that served for a chimney, window and ventilator. ‘The Indians offered them food, but appetite had been scared out of them ‘The Indians ate, and then got out hat: chets and knives. “Our time has come,” said one of the boys, “So it seems,” said the other; but let us sell our lives dearly!” However, instead of falling upon them with the weapons, the Indians procured a lot of strips of ash wood and went to work making baskets— stripping, measuring, splitting and bending the wood. After the Indians had worked at basket making for some time, one of them, who seemed to be a sort of a chief, suddenly gave a yell that froze the blood in both boys’ veins, The Indians threw down their implements and formed in a circle about the fire and white boys, The terrible cere mony of death was about to begin, Then the chief Indian sounded a note with his voice, and all the rest began to sing. The Scotchboys knew the tune well; it was the one to which they were accustomed to sing the words: “How pleased and blest was I To hear the people ery, ‘Come, let us seek our God today!” ‘The boys looked at each other in as: tonishment, and when the Indians had sung this song—in their own language of course—they sang a greater and a more thrilling one: “Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me!” ‘The fears of the boys were gone. In their own tongue they joined in the song with more unction, no doubt, than they had ever known before in singing it; and when the Indians had finished their devotions the boys lay down to sleep, and slept soundly tn the warmth of the fire, The tribe was one which had been visited by missionaries, and the men had no other purpose than one of grateful hospitality in bringing these wandering white youths to their lodge. ‘The next morning the boys ate with gusto the food which their hosts of fered them, expressing their thanks as best they could. WHIST ONCE A CRUDE GAME. First Known as “Triumph,” Whence the Word “Trumps” Is Derived. Whist was first called “triumph,” @ name which was afterward corrupted into “trump.” The eighteenth century saw whist in its primitive form, the whole object of the game being to win tricks by leading high cards or by trumping. : ‘Then came the era of Hoyle, which may be said to have lasted from 1730 to 1860, and taught players to think not only of their own hands but of the other hands also, and to take ad- vantage of the positions of the cards in them. Hoyle also taught that trumps might be more proftably em. ployed than in simple trumping and showed that they might be used to disarm the adversary and to obtain secondary advantage in trick-making by other suits of less apparent power. It was not until 1860 that the philo- sophical era can be said to have be- gun, and the origin of the new move- ment was a knot of young men of Cambridge, Engitnd, known as the Little Whikt school.’ This body kept records of its games, but no one thought of making the data known un- til 1861. Coherence in the system of play was still wanting, and this was supplied in 1864 with Dr. Pole’s essay on the theory of the modern scientific whikt: HOW HE AWOKE ON TIME. Procured Sleep on Installment Plan, With No Risk. A party of traveling men were at breakfast in the hotel cafe. “I ought to be half way to Washington by this time,” remarked one, “but I've missed the early train. Forgot to leave a call and overslept.” “You're eary,” chipped n another, “I have a scheme for getting me up at the right time that is infallible. It’s simple, too. If I've been up with the boys to 4a, m. and must catch a train at 6 o'clock, I lie down on my cot with a shoe in each hand. When I drift into slumber I'm sure to drop one shoe and the bump wakes me. 1 equip myself with both shoes again and repeat the performance.

Who has not been annoyed by blue prints, drawings or other papers which, having been rolled for some time, re fused to lie flat when in use? And yet it is a very simple matter to straighten the paper so that it will give no trouble. Hold the paper by the corners or by the ends and draw down over the sharp corner of the drawing board or table, or elke lay the haad on the sheet at the table edge and draw the sheet through the other. In this way it can pe easily straightened. Position in Sleep. According to Dr. Fischer of Berlin, the most effective position of sleep for obtaining intellectual rest is to keep the head low and the feet slightly ele vated. Failing this, the body should, at any rate, be horizontal, so as to irrk gate the brain well. The habit of sleep ing with head low and fect high ig, according to the doctor, a remedy for brain troubles and some internal male adies. It can be adopted gradually, You'll Be Glad to Know This.

Thore are three barriers that retard the spread of this gospel of universal hrotherkood pride of race, pride. of place and pride of character. ‘There is a pride of race that is entirely worthy, When, however, its assertion cases other races to be despised: and avoided, when it breeds enmity, en- senders strife and manifests itself in injusticn and prejudice it is contrary to the Christ spirit and unworthy of those who possess a genuine basis for sueh distinetion, ‘There ts a pride of position which is commendable, for we are all members of the same body, but all have not the same offlee. But when those of high station Iaud it over those of low estate: when so cial, civil, financial or intellectual ele- vation puts men out of sympathy with those who live upon a lower plane, ‘or when consideration is shown in a spirit of condescension, it is destruc: tive of the spirit of brotherhood, Finally there is a pride of character deserving of praise and emulation, It never assumes the “holier than thou” altitude; it “vaunteth not itself” and “is not puffed up.” Ifthe lawyer who questioned Christ had answered his own question It is quite certain he would have excluded the ungodly and immoral, But in Christ's view the neighbor we should commiserate and resene is not only the poor trav- eler who may fall among thieves, but every one who has lost his way or fallen into the mire of guilt and shame Our neighbor, then, is not the man who Is up and who can assist us on our way, but he that ts dewn and whom we can help to rise; he ts the man who is most in need of our sym: pathy and succor; he is the man who has a bruised and bleeding heart that only patient love can heal If we go to him and help and bless him and make ourselves neighbor unto him we shall thus fulfill the law of Christ and hot only be keeping His command: ments, but living His life.—Rev. Hutchens €, Bishop, “Chant the Beauty of the Good.” Fmerson says: “Do not bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the rood." Chant the beauty of the good” if you would be happy, and keep chanting It until you have gotten the joy out of it, the uplift that a vision of the good, the beautiful alone can give you, There was never a soul made better or more Christlike by living in an atmosphere of gloom, An occasional elond serves, it is true, to give us a better knowl edge of the beauty of an unclouded sky, but living within the clouds saps the energies and Seakens the vitality of body or soul, The best Christians are the joyous ones, for they carry With them the inestimable blessing of fon] sunshine, without which duty be: comes & burden. Can it be true that a loving Father intended our lives to be always attun: ed 10 the minor chords, whose notes hove in them the memory of tears? Did he will that we should stay: al- ways in the valley, too low to hear the songs of the birds on the hilltops where the sun's rays gild the trees and dance in merriment on the patches of green where the violets and dat- sies are trying to hide from human eyes Why did he create so much beauty if we are always to see it through teardimmed eyes? The path for each one of 18 winds up and down unto the end, and while we must come down from the heights again and agin, still, farther on if we will turn our eyes upward we will see the path winding up and up into the sunlight, and if we will cease our murmuring we will hear the music of the birds, and cateh the perfume of the flowers. When you find yourself down in some deep valley of affiction or dis- couragement “look up to. the hills from whenee cometh your help" and chant the beauty of the good” that has blessed your past life and will bless you again if vot make room tn your heart for it, Remember you can- not serve God as he would have you unless you “serve him in fullness of joy.” We ean serve him by shining better than by weeping, by accepting the life he has given us as a blessing rather than as a curse and having a faith strong enongh to belleve he loves lis So well that he wonld have us “be glad and rejoice” while for his sake and the sake of those around us we keep persistently chanting “the Leauty of the good.” Always Time for the Main Thing.

SOF SINE See Outs Cs mee Cur ing the inauguration ceremonies at Washington March 4, President Roose: velt delivered the following speech My Fellow Citizens: No people on earth have more cause to bo thankful than ours, and this is sald reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness In our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of Good, who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well- being and of happiness. To us as a people it has been granted to lay the foundations of our national life in a hew continent. Woe are the heirs of the ages, and yet we have had to pay few of the penalties which in old countries are exacted by the dead hand of @ bygone civilization. We have not been obliged to fight for out existence against any alien race; and yet our life has called for the vigor and effort without which the manlier and hardier virtues wither away. Under such conditions it would be our own fault If we failed: and the success which we have had in the past, the success which we con- fidently believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of vain- glory, but rather a deep and abiding ‘realization of all which life has of- fered us; a full acknowledgment of ‘the responsibility which is ours; and ‘a fixed determination to show that under @ free government a mighty ‘people can thrive best, alike as re. sards the things of the body and the things of the soul. Much has been given to us, and much will rightfully be expected from inane have duties to others and duties to ourselves; and we can shirk |neither. We have become a great na- | tion, forced by the fact of its great. ness into relations with the other na ltions of the earth; and we must be: [have as beseems a people with such responsibilities, Toward all other ‘nations, large and small, our attitude PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. = Ce ‘id ipa Me fl Ne ee N il x ii } XY FT Qa GY \ fig 27) hae 5. ee LT Inaugurated March 4, 1905. must be one of cordial and sincere friendship. We must show not only in our words but in our deeds that we are earnestly desirous of secur- ing their good will by acting toward them in a spirit of just and generous recognition of @ll their rights. But justice and generosity in a nation, as in an individual, count most when shown not by the weak but by the strong. While ever careful to refrain from wronging others, we must be no less insistent that we are not wronged ourselves. We wish peace; but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because wo are afraid, No weak nation that ‘acts manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us, and no strong power should ever be able to single us out as a subject for insolent ag: gression, Our relations with the other pow: ers of the world are important; but still more important are our relations among ourselves.

Power invariably means both responsibility and danger. Our forefathers faced certain perils which we have outgrown. We now face oth- er perils the very existence of which it was impossible that they should foresee. Modern life s both complex and intense, and the tremendous changes wrought by the extraordinary industrial developments of the last half century are felt in every fiber of our social and political being. Never before have men tried so vast and for- midable an experiment as that of ad- ministering the affairs of a continent under the forms of a demooratic re- public. The conditions which have told for our marvelous material well- being, which have developed to a very high degree our energy, self-reliance, and individual initiative, have also brought the care and anxiety insepar- able from the accumulation of great wealth {n industrial centers. Upon the success of our experiment much depends; not only as regards our own welfare, but as regards the welfare of mankind, If we fail, the cause of free self government throughout the world will rock to its foundations; and therefore our responsibility is heavy, to ourselves, to the world as It Is to- day, and to the generations yet un- bern, There is no good reason why ‘wo should fear the future, but there is every reason why we ‘should face it seriously, neither \ding from ourselves the gravity of ‘the problems before us nor fearing tc approach these problems with the ‘unbending, unfinching purpose to solve them aright. | Yet, atter all, though the problems are new, though the tasks set before jus differ from the tasks set before our fathers who founded and pre: screed this republic, the spirit in which these tasks must be undertak. en and these problems faced, if our duty is to be well done, remains essen- Ually unchanged. We know that self- government is diMcult. We know that ho people needs such high traits of character as that people which seeks to govern {ts affairs aright through the freely expressed will of the free- men who compose it, But we have faith that we shall not prove false to the memories of the men of the mighty past. They did their work, they left us the splendid heritage we now enjoy. We in our turn have an arsured confidence that we shall be able to leave this heritage unwasted and enlarged to our children and our children’s children. To do so we must show, not merely in great crises, but in the everyday affairs of life, the qualities of practical intelligence, of courage, of hardihood and endurance, and above all the power of devotion to a lofty deal, which made great the “men who founded this republic in the days of Washington, which made great the men who preserved this republe in the days of Abraham Lin. coln.

The physicians employed by this institution have compiled some excellent rules to be observed by per- sons suffering from this disease, the careful following of which will pre- vent the extension of the disease to others, and will greatly ald the suf- ferers to recover. Don't spit on the sidewalk, on the street, nor into any place where you cannot destroy the germs which you spit up. Do not swallow any spit which comes up from your lungs or which comes out of the back part of your throat. Spit into a spit cup when it Is pos- sible to do 80, Always use a spit cup with a han- dle to it 0 that you can hold it close to your month, When you use w china or earthen- ware spit cup always keep lye and water in it and scald out the spit cup once or twice a day with boiling water, When you use a tin spit cup with a Paper spit cup inside burn the paper cup at least once a day and scald the tin cup with boiling water. Never use a handkerchief or a rag or any material other than paper to spit in or to wipe your mouth with. When you cannot spit into a spit cup, spit into a paper napkin. Always use a paper napkin to wipe your mouth with, after spitting, and be careful not to soil your hands. Always carry a cheap paper bag in your pocket or caba to put paper nap- kins in which you have used. When you have used a: paper nap- kin, either to spit In or to wipe your mouth with, fold it up carefully and put it away in the paper bag. Every evening, before going to bed, burn your paper bag together with the napkins which you have deposited fn it. It you have a mustache or beard shave it off or crop It close. Always wash your lips and hands before eating or drinking, and rinse out your mouth. If you have a running sore take up the matter which is given off with absorbent cotton and burn it. Avoid handshaking and kissing. These customs are dangerous to you as well as to others. They may give others consumption; they may bring you colds and influenzas which will greatly aggravate your disease and may prevent your recovery. Do not cough if you can help it. You can control your cough to a great ex- tent by will power. When you cough severely hold @ paper napkin to your mouth so as not to throw out spit while coughing. Sit out of doors all you can. If you have no other place to sit than the pavement sit on the pavement in front of your house. Don't take any exercise when you have a high fever. ‘Always sleep with your windows open, no difference what the weather may be. ‘Avold fatigue. One single exhaust fon may change the course of you disease from a favorable one to an un favorable one. Go to bed early. If you are work: ing, lie down when you have a few moments to spare. Don’t take any medicine unless 1 has been prescribed by your physician Medicine may do you harm as well as good. Don't use alcoholic stimulants o} any kind. Don't eat pastry or dainties. They do not nourish you and they may up set your stomach. ‘Take your milk and raw egg .| whether you feel like it or not. ‘| Keep up your courage.

In the Far East the Japanese have won victories which have astonished the world. They show themselves to be more enduring, more resistant to the effects of wounds, keener witted, sharper in tactics, and quicker In xe. cution than their Russtan antagonists. The Jap is content with a simple diet of rice, peas, or beans, which 1s quick: ly digested and converted into brawn and brains, while the Russian must bave his meat and his vodka, The same dietary, the same simplic- ity and naturalness in habits of life, which give toughness of fiber and en- durance and immunity against infec- tion, afford equal advantages in fight- ing the battle of life in any direction. ‘The brain worker who wants to keep his mental vision clear and desires power to pursue his subject with un- ceasing energy, must keep his blood clean by a pure, simple, natural diet. ‘The lawyer, the clergyman, the bust- ness man, the teacher, the investiga: tor, the inventor, will find the same advantages in living in harmony with natural principles as does the plucky Japanese soldier, who is, for the first time, testing his metal by a great con- test with an army of civilized men. Kinatent we, Cane Ulta Tt is very easy to prove that the In- ‘fluence of alcohol, as of every other ‘poison, is to shorten life. Dr, Willard Parker of New York, shows from sta: pane that for every ten temperate persons who die between the ages of eeay be. and thirty, fifty-one intem: ‘perate persons die, Thus it appears ‘that the mortality of liquor users is five hundred per cent greater than ‘that of temperate persons. ‘These fx: ures are based on tho tables used ‘by life insurance companies. | Notwithstanding the constant pro- test of both moderate and immoderate ‘drinkers, that alcohol does not harm them, that it Is a necessary stimulus, a preventive of fevers, colds, consump- tion, ete., and the assertion of certain ‘chemists that it is a conservative agent, preventing waste, and 60 pro- longing life, the distinguished English ‘actuary, Mr. Nelson, has shown from neds data which cannot be gain- said, that while the temperate man has at twenty years of age an aver. tage chance of living forty-four and one-fifth years, the drinking man has a prospect of only fifteen and one-half years of life. At thirty years of age tho temperate man may expect thirty- six and one-half years more of life, while the dram-drinker will be pretty certain to die in less than fourteen years.

Prof. Kochlakoff of St. Petersburg, has experimented upon five healthy persons, aged from twenty-one to. twen- ty-four years, with reference to the effects of alcohol upon digestion. Ten minutes before each meal, each person was given about three ounces of alco- holie liquor, containing from five to fifty per cent of alcohol, which is about the proportion found in ordinary ‘liquors, The following results were obtained: “Under the Influence of alcohol the quantity of hydrochloric acid, as well as the digestive power of the gastric juice, is diminished. This enfeebling of the digestion is especially marked in persons unaccustomed to the use of alcohol.” . Dr. Figg of Edinburgh made the fol- lowing experiments to test the influ- ence of alcohol upon digestion: He fed two dogs equal quantities of roast mutton, He then administered to one dog, by passing a tube into the stom- ach, one and onefourth ounces of alcohol. After five hours both dogs were killed and examined. The one which had taken no alcohol was found to have digested the meat entirely, whereas digestion had scarcely begun in the animal to which alcohol had been administered. RECIPES. Savory Soup—Cook half a pint of small navy or soup beans in three pints of water for two hours, adding polling water as needed. In a sepa- rate kettle place two small parsnips, scraped and sliced, one good sized onion cut fine, two stalks of celery and half a can of tomatoes. Cover well with boiling water and cook until the vegetables are very tender; then add the beans and press all through a fine comnder or soup-strain- er, Return to the stove, simmer a ‘moment, and just before serving, stir ‘in slowly a cupful of hot cream or rich milk, A can of sweet corn may te substituted for the beans, As ft ‘takes less time, and may be put in with the other vegetables, it 1s some times preferred by the housewife who is her own cook. Nut Cheese.—Take one cup of raw peanut butter, one- half cup of corn- | starch, one enp of tomato juice, and one teaspoonful of salt. Dissolve the mt butter and cornstarch in the to- mato juice; add salt, and beat for five minutes. Pour into a granite | howl and cover and steam for four or | fve hours, Dry off in the oven, and when cool, slip from the bowl. FOUL BREATH. PILES NO MONEY CURED. 27 YEARS ESTABLISHED.

Not all of these symptoms are present in every case. To tone up and invigorate both stomach and liver and start the digestive processes into healthy action, there is, to say the least, no superior agent to Dr. Pierce's remedy. The only way to avoid without the use of a particle of alcohol, from the active medicinal principles extracted from the roots of native American plants, and is an honestly made, safe medicine that any one may take without fear of forming an appetite for stimulants, and not simply the temporary exhilaration sometimes experienced from strong alcoholic preparations. No man is stronger than his stomach, therefore, when the stomach is weak it should be promptly toned up and put in order to the end that it may properly digest and prepare for proper assimilation of nutrients, and strengthen the body. You cannot find a medicine that will do this more promptly and permanently than "Golden Medical Discovery." A whole train of bodily alliments result when the stomach becomes foul, torpid and weak, and, naturally enough, when the stomach trouble is relieved, the stomach appears; hence it is that rheumatism, blotches, plumps, eruptions, serous sores, kidney affections and various and diverse appearing maladies yield to the potent tonic and alterative properties of the "Golden Medical Discovery." Bear in mind that the "Discovery" is an active, potent medicine and not a beverage or effusion, but rather an affective effects. It is made to cure disease, not to appease craving for stimulants. Don't be wheedled or over-persuaded into taking something else which may be said to be "just as good."

Dr. R. V. Prince, Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sir... About two years ago I had an attack of grippe which left me in a very weak shape; could not eat a meal without being greatly distressed, and the taking of food was frequently followed by vomiting or loose shape; could not eat a meal without being trouble. Had a physician but he did not help me. After I had been suffering like this for some time, a man who had used Dr. Pierce's medicine and I procured a bottle of it. I felt a slight improvement by the time I had used the first bottle, so continued the use of the medicine and I procured a bottle of it.

Berlin possesses a successor to the late lamented chimpanzee Consul, in the shape of Consul II, of which the following account has been published: "Recently Consul II appeared before a meeting of the German Psychological Society and was the subject of a lecture by the eminent psychologist, Prof. Hirschlaff. The ape stood on the platform beside the lecturer, in a smoking jacket, top hat, black trousers, boots and shirt. Prof. Hirschlaff gave Consul an excellent character. He has good manners, is of a friendly disposition and manifests symptoms of what would be called in human beings a loving nature. He has no objection to the vicinity of dogs, cats or snakes, but is afraid of horses. No traces are seen in Consul of any special liking for women and soldiers. "Like most apes he delights in children, but evinces an abhorrence of dolls, of which he can make nothing and retires vanquished from their presence. If Consul is tickled he sometimes shrieks with laughter. When punished he acts like a child, holding his hands before his face. If discovered at anything he is forbidden to do he assumes hypocritically an innocent demeanor which is distinctly human. "He is restless and cannot sit long in one position. With an excellent memory, he is yet incapable of expressing his wants either by gestures or sounds. He cannot be taught to whistle, nor does he understand human speech. All he can comprehend is the tone of a voice or the rhythm of words; and he cannot be taught to reckon." BEAT THE DUMB-BELL RECORD An American, Anthony McKinley, has made a remarkable showing with dumb-bells in Belfast, Ireland. He gave the exhibition in the billiard-room of the Boyd Arms Hotel with a twelve-pound one and one-fourth ounce dumb-bell, shoulder to arm's length above shoulder, one hand, and succeeded in putting it up 16,000 times in two hours fifty-seven minutes and fifty seconds, at the rate of ninety times per minute, regular throughout, with one or two over every time the counter called out, and often more. The dumb-bell was weighed at starting and finishing in the presence of all, and the total weight amounts to 172,547 pounds. The previous best with this weight, a twelve-pound dumb-bell, was by A Corcoran of Chicago, which was also the greatest total weight ever put up when, on October 4, 1873, he put it up 14,000 times, time not stated, or a to tal of 150,000 pounds. "Bug Wagon" Death to Germs. "Bug Wagon" Death to Germs. San Francisco's "bug wagon," the Board of Health's latest enterprise aiming toward the extinction of all forms of germs and dangerous bacilli had a practical test in a workshop at 223 Folsom street. The various varieties of germs were placed on cards and buried in the center of pillows and mattresses, which were placed in the oven or sterilizing box. Steam to the amount of thirty pounds pressure was turned on, and after twenty minutes it was withdrawn and a formation of chemical gases was allowed to enter the vacuum. Whether the germs met instant death cannot be determined until after a post mortem which is now in progress at the city laboratory. The sterilizer, the first of its kind to be built, is self propelling and has a speed of about five miles an hour. The machine resembles a steam road grader somewhat in apearance, and weighs nearly four tons — San Francisco Chronicle. Japanese Patriotism. An enthusiastic admirer of the mukado nation was extolling the patriotism of the Japanese to a little circle of friends in the University club the other evening. "Why," said he, "every one of those little fellows will make any sacrifice to help the government along. Even the poor peasants do it and never grumble at the taxes. There isn't a man of them that wouldn't willingly give up his last dollar to protect the remainder. The taxes are mighty hard on them, too. The tax on leather and shoes comes especially hard on the barefoot peasantry." He got into a still deeper muddle when he tried to explain that a simliar hard condition in Ireland once was mitigated by making the sole leathers of wood.—New York Herald. Perfection of Cement. In Germany puzzuolani cement is now a well recognized trade product with a good reputation for its properties of strength and hardness. This cement is produced by grinding and thoroughly mixing 85 per cent granulated slag with 15 per cent of lime hydrate. Slag has also been employed in Germany largely by the Portland cement manufacturers as a substitute for marl and limestone, and the claims that cement made with this addition is stronger than the ordinary cement have now been recognized by eminent authorities—London Engineer. To My Wife. -George Sterling, in "Testimony of the Sung." Facta Well Worth Treasuring Up by Growers. I set out a strawberry bed in 1898, which has continually improved, both in fruit and=plants, each succeeding year under my system of cultivation. I keep one soil well enriched and free from weeds. As soon as I finish picking the fruit, I mow the vines closely and rake them off. I then rake the bed thoroughly with an iron tooth rake, making the whole surface of bed fine and clean; then mark the bed crosswise of last year's rows, leaving the row strips about eight inches wide. I thoroughly, but carefully, hand cultivate between these strips so as not to injure the roots of the plants in these strips. In a few days the best and strongest plants will be up and running. I leave enough of the best and strongest plants to run and cover about one-half or two-thirds of the bed; carefully hoe out the plants not needed, and keep the soil clean and fine about these running plants. When the runners have covered the amount of space wanted, I cut off all runners as they appear, keeping the open spaces well hoed. If needed I apply a dressing of good, fine manure before mulching the bed for winter. I set only perfect flowering kinds. I have had good success with Corsican, Mead, Jessie, Bradywine, Clyde, Gandy and Parker Earle.-Rodney Seaver in Farm Journal.

It hardly pays to laugh before you are certain of facts, for it is sometimes humiliating to think of afterwards. "When I was a young girl I was a lover of coffee but was sick so much the doctor told me to quit and I did but after my marriage my husband begged me to drink it again as he did not think it was the coffee caused the troubles. "So I commenced it again and continued about 6 months until my stomach commenced acting bad and choking as if I had swallowed something the size of an egg. One doctor said it was neuralgia and indigestion. "One day I took a drive with my husband three miles in the country and I drank a cup of coffee for dinner. I thought sure I would die before I got back to town to a doctor. I was drawn double in the buggy and when my husband bittened the horse to get me out into the doctor's office, misery came up in my throat and seemed to shut my breath off entirely, then left all in a flash and went to my heart. The doctor pronounced it nervous heart trouble and when I got home I was so weak I could not sit up. "My husband brought my supper to my bedside with a nice cup of hot coffee but I said: 'Take that back, dear. I will never drink another cup of coffee if you gave me everything you are worth, for it is just killing me.' He and the others laughed at me and said: "The idea of coffee killing anybody." "Well,' I said, 'it is nothing else but coffee that is doing it.' "In the grocery one day my husband was persuaded to buy a box of Postum which he brought home and I made it for dinner and we both thought how good it was but said nothing to the hired men and they thought they had drunk coffee until we laughed and told them. Well we kept on with Postum and it was not long before the color came back to my cheeks and I got stout and felt as good as I ever did in my life. I have no more stomach trouble and I know I owe it all to Postum in place of coffee. "My husband has gained good health on Postum, as well as baby and I, and we all think nothing is, too good to say about it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Y., President Montichel Club, writes: "Since my advanced age I find that I have been frequently troubled with urinary ailments. The bladder seemed irritated, and my physician said that it was catarrh caused by a protracted cold which would be difficult to overcome on account of my advanced years. I took Peruna, hardly daring to believe that I would be helped, but I found to my relief that I soon began to mend. The irritation gradually subsided and the urinary difficulties passed away. I have enjoyed excellent health now for the past seven months. I enjoy my meals, sleep soundly, and am as well as I was twenty years ago. I give all praise to Peruna." —C. B. Newhof.

The effect of the tropical climate and the nervous strain showed plainly on my return to the states. Lassitude, depression to the verge of melancholia, and incessant kidney trouble made me practically an invalid. This undesirable condition continued, despite the best of treatment. Finally a brother newspaper man, who like myself had served in the war, induced me to give a faithful trial to Peruna. I did so. In a short time the lassitude left me, my kidneys resumed a healthy condition, and a complete cure was effected. I cannot too strongly recommed Peruna to those suffering with kidney trouble.

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found permanent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquiring a drug habit. Peruna does not produce temporary results. It is permanent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by removing the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been used off and on for twenty years. Such a thing could not be possible if Peruna contained any drugs of a narcotic nature.

Baden Powell has long been able to write and draw with either hand with equal facility. During some manoevers which took place when his right arm was useless owing to the bite of a dog, he wrote and illustrated his daily reports entirely with his left hand, says the "House Beautiful." Sir Walter Parratt, organist of St. George's chapel, Windsor, can accompany a full choral service with his left hand and his feet and write a letter at the same time with his right hand. Queen Victoria was ambidextrous; she could draw as well with the left hand as with the right. Prof. Morse of the Baltimore university and Sir Edwin Landseer were able to use either hand impartially; and the great artist-scientist of the Renaissance period in Italy, Leonardo de Vinci, was ambidextrous. Conjurers and jugglers must be able to depend upon the left hand as much as upon the right. All who possess ambidextral power declare it to be a most highly prized faculty. The Japanese appear to be the most ambidextrous nation in these days, though many Orientals are able to use either hand with impartiality. The Shah of Persia signs his name with either left or right hand; artisans in the east are frequently able to work with either hand with equal skill, and they also bring both right and left foot to their aid.

Cow Made Clean Haul. Frank Dow pitched a tent in a pasture, where he employed himself in picking berries at Meredith, N. H. During his absence a cow tipped the tent over and devoured nearly the entire camping outfit. Among the things eaten was a pound of salt pork, six quarts of berries, four candles, one quart of cooked beans, the sleeves of a coat, a bundle of newspapers, half a dozen doughnuts, a peck of potatoes, a number of cookies and several other articles. Harm Done by Paris Green. Speaking of the potato an observant Maine farmer states that for several years past he has noticed no potato balls, although previously the plants were covered with them. He gives as a reason for this that the paris greent, used so generously in recent years for the extermination of the bugs, killed the flowers of the plants and thus prevented them from going to seed. Cow Gives Birth to Triplets At the Rock Cliff farm, North Smithfield, R. L., of which Hiram F. Thayer is proprietor, an Ayrshire cow has given birth to three calves, a most unusual occurrence. All of the calves appear to be healthy, although they are somewhat under size. The same cow two years ago gave birth to twin calves, both of which were of the usual size. Letter and Envelope of Bark Ellory A. Baldwin of West Upton received a unique letter from his son, who is on a fishing trip in Maine.

Stanley, the African explorer, told, himself, how he was converted by Dr. Livingstone. His story is as follows: "I went to Africa as prejudiced against religion as the worst infidel in London. To a reporter like myself, who had only to deal with wars, mass meetings and political gatherings, sentimental matters were quite out of my province. But there came to me a long time for reflection. I was out there away from a worldly world. I saw this solitary old man there, and I asked myself: 'Why does he stop here in such a place?' What is it that inspires him? For months after we met I found myself listening to him, wondering at the old man carry out the words, 'Leave all and follow Me.' But little by little, seeing his piety, his gentleness, his zeal, his earnestness, and how he went quietly about his business, I was converted by him, although he had not tried in any way to do it." It Looks Good. It Looks Good. Oh, a 'possum fat Hangs from the limb, And the worm is good When I think of him, And leaves fall down And a frost is nigh, And the yellow yams quake up the cob Are in season now, And lye-hominy And hog; and the world Looks good to me! And mosquitoes they Don't stab no more, And no redbugs ain't On the sandy shore, And it a thing That kin mar my joy- Exceptin' now That I ain't no boy Like I was; and lovers Love me, and the moonlit world Looks good to me. —Houston Post. Presents to Bible Society. A number of curious presents have come to the Bible society in London. Gifts of embroidery to the value of over $150 have been received from native Christian women in Manchuria. From the New Hebrides, the Aneytumese sent more than $20. These people manufacture arrowroot annually to pay for the nibles they need. About $15 was contributed in kind by the aborigines of Mapoon, North Queensland, who collected oysters for the purpose, as they have no money of their own. Even the Dyaks of Boro-reo sent a collection in to London, though in former days their fathers collected human heads much as American boys collect postage stamps. At What Temperature Water Boils. At What Temperature Water Boils. Water boils at different temperatures, according to the elevation above the sea level. In London water boils practically at 212 degrees Fahrenheit; in Munich, Germany, at 209½ degrees; in the City of Mexico, at 200 degrees, and in the Himalayas, at an elevation of 18,000 feet above the level of the sea, at 180 degrees. These differences are caused by the varying pressure of the atmosphere at these points. In London the whole weight of the air has to be overcome. In Mexico, 7,000 feet above the sea, there is 7,000 feet less of atmosphere to be resisted. Consequently less heat is required and boiling takes place at a lower temperature. Cause of Mysterious Sounds Cause of mysteries occurred. There is an old superstition that tapping sounds in a room foretell death. A correspondent suggests that these sounds are emitted from wooden furniture. "I have generally noticed," he says. "that I heard them after a sudden change in the temperature from heat to cold. Heat causes furniture to expand and open the interstices of the wood, which become filled with air. A sudden cooling, on the other hand, causes the wood to contract, and the interstices then close and forcibly expel the air with these explosive sounds." The Too Strenuous Life "I am willing to go to jail or fishing with you if you can find my store without a customer from six to six any day in the year," said a merchant to a drummer, who asked for a moment of his time. But it is not well to live a life too strenuous—better hire another man or two and pass prosperity down the line rather than go to jail or die before your time. It is wise to fish occasionally. Dollars afford little consolation when aches fill your bones and there is no pleasure in meat or drink either. Don't Lay It Up. Don't lay it up—that bitter grudge— Against your friend or neighbor, Or dig about its hidden root With a bit of humor, Nay! Nay! Rather nobly pass it by, Or thrust it out to fade and die. You may be right and he be wrong, Yet if you do your duty And cultivate instead of hate The flowers of love and beauty. How grandly you with others deal. Don't lay it up, nor let a thought Of 'sweet revenge' possess you When tales untruthful reach your ears That trouble and distress you. Nor chase the wrong with bated breath— A lie will run itself to death. Instead, build up an honest life Upon a sure foundation. Against the quaint castle walls. Be strong in their formation. Then may you court earth's rudest shock— Your house is built upon a rock. —New York Weekly. ...TWO STORES, 16 EAST 7TH ST., AND 2825 SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD... Sults to Order $17.50.

Science for the Young. Thoughtful little Willie Frazer Carved his name with father's razor. Father unaware of trouble. Used the blade to shave his stubble. Father cut himself severely.

Arthur with a lighted taper Touched the fire to grandpa's paper Grandpa leaped a foot or higher, Dropped the sheet, and shouted "Fire!" Viewed the scene of conflagration.

Abashed, crashing to the basement, Nina, somewhat apprehensive, Said, "This china is a expensive. It it more expensive than Newton's law of gravitation." —Wallace Irwin, in Philadelphia Post Years Beginning on Sunday In the course of the present century fourteen years will begin on Sunday. A painstaking individual has computed these occurrences, showing that in this century Jan. 1 will fall on Sunday as follows: The common years 1905, 1911, 1922, 1933, 1939, 1950, 1961, 1967, 1978, 1989 and 1995, and the leap years 1928, 1956 and 1984. This is a fraction less than the usual number computed in point of averages, the first and the last of the Sunday beginnings falling five years each from the close of the century. It is possible for Jan. 1 to occur on Sunday fifteen times in a single century. Objected to Classification. A clergyman in Dublin once invited several of his colleagues to dinner, but was disappointed at not getting an answer from a very popular clergyman, whom he particularly desired to be present, so he called on his friend, fearing he might be ill. "You received my invitation, I hope?" "Yes," replied the other, "I received your very insulting communication." "Insulting." "Very. Read it for yourself." The amazed rector read it, and found that, by a truly clerical error, he had invited the clergyman to come and dine in order "to meet a few other clerical fiefs." Formation of Peat Peat is the product which results from the partial decay of vegetable matter—mosses and other marsh plants—which grows and dies in boggy places where the water stands. It is chiefly composed of sphagnum or bog moss. This moss has peculiarly absorptive properties, owing to the cuplike arrangement of its parts, which take up and hold water like a sponge. Sphagnum continues to grow after its roots have become detached from the ground. These two qualities explain why bogs occasionally slide from their old beds. Triumph of Good Manners Before the gentler measures of international high breeding the mischievous maxim, "Our Country, Right or Wrong," must increasingly give way, says the Century. Willingness to acknowledge a fault, disinclination to meddle in the affairs of others, sympathy for the weak against the oppressor, patience and reason as against petulance, rashness and force, are as possible to a nation as to an individual. A people should be as jealous of the national, gentlemanliness as of the national credit.

All sugar is not sweet, or rather sweet enough to come up to the required standard of sweetness, so some kinds must be sweetened artificially. There are many establishments where this process is carried on. A cone of sugar is placed over an apparatus apex downward, many little holes in the apparatus coming in contact with the point of the cone. A thick liquid is poured on the flat end of the cone and the machinery is set in motion. The holes become the mouths of the suction tubes and the sweetening liquid is drawn through the cone, giving it the necessary quality. Chinese Marriage Law. Persons bearing the same surname, although they may not be related in any way, are forbidden to marry in China.
