DYSPEPSIA
"My wife suffered for many years from Nervous Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Sleeplessness
aud Nervous Debility," writes John Kelloes
Philadelphia. •' We tried many physicians and
numerous remedies, such as blood purifiers
nerve-restorers and strengtheners and blood
foods, but with no results, until I heard of Johnson's Dyspepsia Cure. We bought six of the larjre
size boxes, and the results far surpassed our ex-
pectatioas. Mrs. Kelloes' health began to mend
immediately: she now eats and sleeps well Is
gaining in flesh, and her color, which had not to
be yeUow and sickly, is new as fresh as when
we were first married, and I tell her that Johnson's Dyspepsia Cure has made her ten vears
younger."   Large Boxes. 10c 25c and 50c

Too Mn.-h Hired Has.
They were telling .political stories in
t down town office the other day, and
somebody recalled the tale of the Hon.
Alfonso Hart, at one time lieutenant
governor of Ohio.
Hart was on the stump for Foraker
and was putting in his best licks in the
rural districts. One afternoon he tackled a lot of Medina county farmers
and opened npon them in his usual way.
"Friends," he said, "I know you are
a sensible, hard beaded lot of honest
toilers. You are not to be moved by
sophistry or foolish deceptions.. I have
only to look around me to assure myself
that yon know a gctal thing when yon
see it. Now, let us suppose one of you
farmers has a hired man. You may feel
a little donbt of him at the outset, bnt
you give him a fair trial. Yon like him
so well that yon keep him another year.
And he serves you in a way that insures his re-engagement for still anoth
er year and then another. Isn't that a
good business principle?"
Mr. Hart paused and smiled down at
his listeners. Before he conld resume,
however, a shrill voice from the middle
cf the crowd interrupted him.
"Say," said the voice, "how is it
when the hired man gets to thinkin he
owns the hull darned farm?"
It took the wind all ont of Mr. Hart,
as he himself afterward admitted.—
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Making Steel Pens.
Briefly described, steel pens are made
as follows: First the steel is rolled into
big sheets and then cut into strips
about three inches in width. The strips
are heated to a bright red and are then
allowed to cool gradually, which tempers them. They are next rolled to the
necessary thinness and are cut into
blank flat pens, and the pens, while
flat, are usually stamped with the
brand or ihe name of the manufacturer.
To shape the pens is the next process.
The rounding makes tbem hold the ink
and distribute it more evenly than
could be done if they were flat. To
harden them tbey are heated to a cherry red and then suddenly cooled. This
not only hardens them, but makes them
elastic. The polishing, pointing and
finishing come next, and then they ase
ready for use. The little holes in the
pens at the end of the slits serve to
make them more elastic and to facilitate tbe flow of tbe ink.
It is said that more steel is now used
in the manufacture of pen^ than in
that of swords. It is even claimed that
the metal annually used in their manufacture weighs more than all the metal
used in the mannfacture of war implements.—Detroit Free Press.
*Wbat He Did Object To.
The author of "Kings of the Hunting Field" says that at a certain English church many years ago. while the
clergyman was reading prayers, a man
walked in, shouted "I've got 'un!" and
immediately withdrew. He had sounded
a well known call. Every farmer and
laborer who possessed a gun soon followed him and in an hour or two
brought to the village inn the fox they
had shot.
Spirituality was in those days at a
very low ebb, and some clergymen
cared more for sport than for the example they set to their flocks. Bishops
tried to discountenance hunting as a
clerical pastime, but the law did not
enable them to remove the offenders
from their livings. Dr. Phillpotts,
bishop of Exeter, wbo called to account
several sporting clergymen in his diocese, met one of tbem at a friend's
house.
"I am told, my lord, that yon object
to my hunting," said the clergyman.
"Dear me, wbo could have told yon
so?" answered the bishop. "What I
object to is that you should ever tlo
anything else."
Two Points of View.
An old Scotchwoman was walking
to church with her family. The Auld
Kirk minister rede past at a tremendous rate, and the old lady aaid to her
children: "Siccan a wey to be ridin,
and this the Sawbath day. Aweel,
aweel, a gude man is marcifu' to bis
beast!"
Shortly afterward her own minister
rode past just as furiously, and the
worthy old wifie cried: "Ah, there he
goes! The Lord bless him, puir man!
His heart's in his wark, an he's eager
to be at it."
Origin of "Pall Mall."
"Pall Mall" (pronounced pel mel)
conies from paile maile, an ancient
game supposed to have been played on
the present site of Pall Mall by Norman monks, by whom it was introduced into England.
The observant Pepys, in his famous
diary, makes mention of it thus:
"April 2, 1661. Into St. James* park,
where I saw the Dnke of York playing
at Pelemele, the first time that ever I
saw the sport."—Pall Mall Bulletin.
Tbe Tronble.
Hicks—Why is it yon are eo hard on
Wellington ? He never did yon a bad
turn or ever spoke ill of yon.
Wicks—I know that, bnt the fact ia
the flrst time I saw Wellington I
thought he was somebody out of the ordinary, and I was as polite to him as I
knew how to be. I never shall be able
to forgive him for that mistake.—Boston Transcript.
A Hard Cough.
"Doctor, I want to know exactly
what's the matter with me."
"My good sir, yonr ailment is a tendency of the lungs to expel air suddenly
and forcibly through the glottis, the
effort being accompanied by a raucous
and more or less guttural sound."
"That's what I told the doctor I dis-
gharged tbe other day. He said it f?as
nothing but a cough."—Chicago Tribune.

A. Surprised Barber.
•"Wearing -wigs has not gone ont of
style by any means." said a New Orleans barber -vho bas an eye for the oddities of t'mm trade. "The only reason
why we dt ™: notice so many of then:
is *ihat they are mnde a great deal better than tuey u;?ed to be. Why, even
the barbers get fooled now and then.
"The other day a gentleman came
into the shop to get shaved. The barber
finished the job without noticing anything unusual, and as he laid aside the
razor he sprung the usnal chestnut. 'I
notice a good deal of dandruff is accumulating on your scalp,' he said,
'and if you don't look out you'll begin
to get bald.' Tbat seemed to tickle the
customer, and he grinned from ear. to
ear. 'Oh. I guess I've got hair enough
to last for awhile!' says he, still grinning. 'Yon have plenty now,' says the
barber, 'but with all that dandruff it
will soon commence to thin out. Better
let me give you a nice shampoo.'
"As he spoke he ran bis hands through
the gentleman's bair and gave it two or
three hard rubs, and, upon my word,
the whole thing came off just as if he
had been scalped. The poor man yelled
murder, and the barber stood tbere paralyzed, holding the wig in his hands and
his eyes sticking out like hat pegs. He
told me afterward he was never so
scared in his life. Since then he hasn't
said a word about dandruff."—New
Orleans Times-Democrat.
Tbe Rushlight.
Home manufactured rushlights and
candles were in constant use by the
Scotch peasantry. Boiled animal fat
gave the required tallow, and the same
green rushes as were used for cruisie
wick supplied it also in this case.
In making rushlights all the green
coating of these rushes was stripped
off, but for candle wick a thin strip
was left on either side of the pith to
strengthen and support it Otherwise
the manufacture of these two lights
was very similar. This substance from
the rushes -when dried was tied to a
rod, then dipped into the boiling fat
and allowed to cool, and this process
was repeated until the rushlight, or
candle, had become the desired thickness. In later years candles were made
in molds. The tape was passed through
a hole in the center of the mold and
knotted to prevent it slipping. The fat
was then poured in and allowed to
cool.
These molds, dnring the days of the
candle tax, were jealously guarded by
the owners and hidden in the most
secret corners from the prying eyes of
the exciseman. The candles were usually made at night in some outhouse, and
watchers were posted at convenient
corners to give timely warning of any
approach of the ubiquitous officer.—
Good Words.
A Good Parrot Story.
A maiden lady of a certain town in
Cornwall owned a parrot, which somehow acquire:! the disagreeable habit of
observing at frequent intervals, "I
wish the old lady would die." This annoyed the bird's owner, who spoke to
her cur:rie about it
"I th:::k we can rectify the matter,"
replied tlio good man. "I also have a
parrot, and he i3 a righteous bird, having been brought up in tha way he
should go. I will lend yon my parrot,
and I trust his influence will reform
that depraved bird of yours.''
The curate's, parrot was placed in the
same room with the wicked one, and as
soon as the two had become accustomed
to each other the bad bird-remarked, "I
wish the old lady would die," whereupon the clergyman's bird rolled np his
eyes and in solemn accents added, "We
beseech thee to hear ns, good Lord!"
The story got out in the parish, and
for several Sundays it .was necessary to
omit the litany at the church services.

-William Black's Disturbed Dip.
There lingers in Oban a legend to the
effect that one hot day William Black,
the novelist, went to a qniet place out
of sight to swim. He undressed in a remote part of the rocks. When he was
in the water, a woman, deeply immersed in a blue volume, which was "The
Princess of Thule," came and sat unwittingly near his clothes. The swimmer, tired with his exercise, was anxious to return to his garments, bnt the
lady on shore was far too engrossed
with tbe fortunes of Princess Sheila to
heed the coughing intimations of his
presence. Presently matters came to a
crisis. A sportsman passed along the
rocks and discerned Mr. Black's dark
head bobbing above the waves. He took
it for a seal and was taking a deadly
aim when Mr. Black jumped up in the
water and implored: "Don't fire. I'm
a human man."
Pulsations of tbe Earth's Croat.
A delicate instrument designed by
Mr. Horace Darwin will indicate slow
tilts and pulsations of the earth's crust
of less tban one three-hundredth of a
second, or an angle less than an Incb
in a thousand miles. It consists of a
circular mirror suspended from brackets by two wires of very unequal
length. Slight tilting of the upright
causes exaggerated motion of the mirror. Tbe spot of reflected light wiH
vary half an inch when a finger is laid

Some Queer Trees.
The breadfruit tree of Ceylon is very
remarkable. Its fruit is baked and eaten
as we eat bread and is equally good and
nutritious. In Barbutu, Sonth America, is a tree which, by piercing the
trunk, produces milk, with which the
inhabitants feed their children. In the
interior of Africa is a tree which produces excellent butter. It resembles tbe
American oak, and its fruit, from
which the butter is prepared, is not unlike the olive. Park, the great traveler,
declared that the butter surpassed any
made in England from cow's milk. At
Sierra Leone is the cream fruit tree, the
fruit of which is quite agreeable in
taste.
At Table Bay, near the Cape of Good
Hope, is a small tree tbe berries of
which make excellent candles. It is also
found in the Azores. The vegetable tallow tree also grows in Sumatra, in Algeria and in China. In tbe island of
Chusan large quantities of oil and tallow are extracted from its fruit, which
is gathered in November or December,
when tbe tree has lost all its leaves.
The bark of a tree in China produces a
beautiful soap. Trees of the sapindus
or soap berry order also grow in the
north of Africa. They are amazingly
prolific, and their fruit contains about
88 per cent of saponin.—Ladies' Home
Journal.
Refused to Take More Pay.
A writer in Ainslee's Magazine tells
how Irving M. Scott, the man who built
the Oregon, once refused a raise in his
salary. Ihe firm was then building the
Saginaw for the government Donahue
was at the legislature mnch of the time
soon after Scott's arrival, and affairs at
the works were at sixes and sevens.
Brodie, the foreman, threatened to leave
and did leave, and Scott, without authority and although only engaged as a
draftsman, took entire charge and directed things for two weeks until Donahue's return. He introduced system into tbe methods and made affairs rnn
along so smoothly that Donahue was
pleased and made him permanent foreman.
• About this time Donahue offered to
increase his wages, but Scott thought
over the matter and declined.
"If I break my year's contract with
you," be said to Donahue, "I'll have to
take wbat-you give me. I prefer to keep
my contract, and wben it's up you'll
have to pay me what I'm worth."
Donahne looked aghast. "You're the
first m:.n," be said, "that I've ever
known to refuse a raise of pay."
Results justified Scott's foresight. At
the end of th ■ year he was re-engaged
and was paid just fonr times what Donahue had ottered him..
	
Dressed For tbe Jury.
Pretty women on trial have a habit
of dressing so as to impress the "jury,
but the highest type cf tbis art was
naturally left for development in Paris,
where toilets are "composed" for the
occasion. An example of the art was
in evidence at tbe trial of Mme. Bian-
chini, who was accused of having deposed of her husband in an unlawful
way. ' 'Her costu me,'' say3 a chronicler,
"waa the essence of outraged dignity
and resignation, and at the same time
of elegance, due to her position as a
mondaine Parisienne. She naturally
was all in black, with a mantle close
fitting at the waist and a high collet de
mongolie. The severity of the low hat,
with its ostrich plumes, was relieved
by her jaunty way of symbolizing her
confidence in the triumph of innocence
in that the left brim was turned np,
sheltering a little bunch of peacock
tips."       	
True Thrift.
Hicks appreciated the shrewd as well
as the humorous sayings of the Cornish
conntry folk. There dwelt not far from
his abode a dairy woman and her husband wbo bad begun life in a very
small way with one cow, and who, by
industry and thrift, bad acquired quite
a number.
"How is it," said Hicks to her one
day, "that you have got on so well,
Mrs. P. ?"
"Well,* you see, Mr. Hicks," she replied, "most people be alius thinking
of what they do want, but I and my
old man, we be alius thinking of what
we can do without."
Taking a "Walk. t
Justice—Whit have yon to say in answer to the charge of stealing this
man's plank walk?
The Accused—I took it by advice of
my physician, yer honor. He told me
to take a leng walk every day. This
was the first long walk I saw today, and
of course I took it. A man can't afford
to employ a doctor unless he takes his
advice.
Justice—The court, however, will
give you advice for nothing—three
months' rest You wi'l take it in ths
house of correction. —Boston Transcript, i
Miles of Advert;sing.
No street in the world is more plastered with, advertising than Broadway,
New York. Even to those recognising
that fact tbe amount does not appear
startling until it is put into figures.
The combined length of the two sides ot
Broadway from the Battery to Central
park is 52,800 feet. The amount of advertising on the buildings and in shop
windows is such that it would take a
man between eight and ten days of
eight hours each to read his way up one
side and down the other.
