CASES OF BAD LUCK. TRIFLING HITCHES WHICH HAVE COST A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY. Little Accidents, Generally Unavoidable, That Sometimes Prove Deciding Factors In Transactions of Considerable Importance. A good many of the important events of this life are governed by little things. Many fortunes have resulted from trifles. On the other hand, thousands have been lost. Not many days ago a furniture van broke down on one of the lines of an important tramway system. Within five minutes 35 trams were drawn up, waiting till the line was cleared. Lifting jacks were procured, and in three quarters of an hour the obstruction was removed, yet that slight delay cost the tramway company over £70. It had disorganized the whole system. The trams failed to put in an appearance at the usual stopping places at the appointed times, and throughout the length of the lines waiting passengers traveled to their destinations by other conveyances. There is perhaps no snag costly trifle as an engineering hitch. Not long since a well known firm delivered a torpedo destroyer to the naval authorities. She was in every respect a perfect boat, the result of masterly designing and splendid workmanship, yet at the very outset of her steam trials she met with a mishap which necessitated her return to the contractors for repair. This hitch cost the firm £600 and was found to have been brought about by a careless workman thoughtlessly omitting to screw a steam cook tightly and fit it with a washer. Another curious instance resulted in a clear loss of £250,000 to the unhappy victim. He was the holder of a large quantity of South African stock, bought at a low price during a slump. On suddenly receiving the tip that it was likely to boom immediately, he settled a limit at which to sell, and when the price had reached this figure wired his broker to sell out immediately. He left his office with janity step. He had netted a fortune in one coup. A few hours later the stock fell just as suddenly as one risen, and to a figure considerably below that he had originally paid for it. Judge, then, of his dismay when his stockbrokers' clerk drove to his house and asked for a confirmation of a telegram they had just had, which appeared to have been delayed in transmission. It was his message authoriz- INSANE MURDERERS. The Question of Responsibility and Punishment For the Crime. It may well be that a man who could not be called insane, but merely say, an ordinary member of the criminal classes, with strong passions and feeble intellect, would in the presence of an opportunity long expected and hoped for, the consequences of which his thoughts had frequently rehearsed, be really for the moment incapable of restraining his hand. We should hang him, nevertheless, without the slightest scruple, and we should waste no compassion upon the absence of self control. It is, in fact, impossible to frame a definition of irresponsibility based upon absence of self control without including all sorts of crimes which at present are punished by the law. For years back there has been a sort of feed between the lawyers and the alienists on the subject, so that even the textbooks speak of legal insanity and medical insanity as distinct. To take extreme cases, jurists have contended that no degree of insanity should exempt from punishment for crime unless it has reached such a point that the person is utterly unconscious of the difference between right and wrong at the time of committing the offense, while medical men have very generally held to the opinion that this is not a proper criterion, that many of the insane are fully conscious of the difference between right and wrong and that to enforce such a test means the hanging of many a lunatic. There can be no doubt that of late years the medical view has met with a wider acceptance than it used to do and that even lawyers have shown an increasing readiness to admit the doctrine of irresponsibility. But it is a very anxious question, especially in view of recent dogmas as to degeneracy, how far this doctrine is to be allowed to go.

As a rule the mountaineer oftentimes is not a gastronomic connoisseur and the visitor at his table is quite likely to hear dried apples referred as "fruit" as he is to find any kind of fruit on the table. Occasion however, one of them is sufficient tunate to get away from his fast and living temporarily down by blue grass has an opportunity to some virtues not otherwise obtained. It was such a one I caught up with morning in June along the ridge Cumberlands. "I'm looking for a place," after a few preliminaries, "when stop for a week or so while I some timber I have in this wood. Do you know of any?" "There ain't much uv theround here," he replied, "to you go to Mount Pleasant, an that's too fer. But hol' on." he in with a sudden thought, "that Widder Tackett. She axed me to see some uv you folks at the tell 'em she had a place to sleep two or three men ef they wupertickler." "Is it a pretty good place quired thoughtlessly." The young man's face flushed. "Well, I reckon," he said with emphasis. "She's goin to be more-in-law come next September." "Oh, I beg your pardon," I try to explain. "I only asked to she had good eating. Some of get in private houses even in this you know, is not the best in the cities be derned," he said fine feeling. "Yer ain't never Widder Tackett's pie yet, nor want to keep still till Ain't nothin like it nowhere, nor what kind uv a pie she sets sa it's all ne plusibus unum, and take.

I did not like to inquire furthest mystery of what happened Rogers after the last taste o was safely housed by my info I made a fair guess and went to the Widower Tackett concern- On suddenly receiving the tip that it was likely to boon immediately, he settled a limit at which to sell, and when the price had reached this figure wired his broker to sell out immediately. He left his office with jaunty step. He had netted a fortune in one coup. A few hours later the stock fell just as suddenly as can rise, but to a figure considerably below that he had originally paid for it. Judge, then, of his dismay when his stockbrokers' clerk drove to his house and asked for a confirmation of a telegram they had just had, which appeared to have been delayed in transmission. It was his message authorizing them to sell, and as the stock was at such a low figure they were anxious to consult him before moving in the matter. The unfortunate investor was dunnounded at the lost opportunity, which on inquiry proved to have resulted from an accident to the telegraph boy. He had been knocked down and stunned by a cab and conveyed to a hospital. His message had been sent out again as soon as possible, but the delay, slight as it was, had lost one man a huge fortune. The man who suffers mostly by trifling bitches is the inventor. Innumerable fortunes have been lost by five minutes delays in getting out protections during which times others have stepped in with similar ideas and annexed the reward of their promptness. A curious and somewhat pathetic instance in connection with an invention happened to an engineer who had spent some years in perfecting a hydraulic railway brake. The idea was in every way perfect, and in conjunction with his son he had constructed models and partially drawn up patent specimens. To the latter, however, he had not confided a certain small mechanical detail—the very one which had cost him so much labor to work out successfully—his idea being that his son should endeavor to overcome the difficulty himself till the patient was entered, when he was to learn the secret of the mechanism. The very day before the specifications were completed the father dropped dead of heart disease through excitement, and when, later, his son came to examine the drawings he found the detail he wished to know had not been included. In spite of endless labor and consultation with brother engineers the difficulty, trifling as it seemed, was never overcome, and by this little hitch in the apparatus it is estimated that he lost nearly £750,000. Some years ago a popular favorite lost the Derby, to the great surprise of its owner and all who had followed its previous doings. It was a neck and neck race till within 50 yards of the post, when the favorite shot out and looked like romping home. Suddenly it checked its pace for the fraction of a moment and was beaten. Very few knew the cause, curious though it was. A puff of wind caught the jockey's cap and instinctively be raised his hand to catch it. In doing so he struck his eye with the end of his whip and jerked backward. The action threw the horse out of its stride, and, although the whole incident was momentary, it resulted in a lost Derby and thousands of pounds besides. A screw loose in an engine may result in great loss to a railway or steamship company.

In the Zeitschrift Für Vermessungswesen Professor Hanmer directs attention to a Babylonian plan depicted on a clay tablet found in the excavations at Tellio and now preserved in the Constautinople museum. The plan was made about 3,000 years before the Christian era and represents an estate belonging to King Dungi. It is of importance not only as a contribution to the early history of surveying, but also as a confirmation of the views on Babylonian measures of length and of area propounded by Reisner at a meeting of the Berlin Academy of Sciences on April 9, 1896. A copy of the plan has been examined by Eisenlohr, the eminent authority on Egyptian archaeology, and he claims to be able to read from the ouneiform inscription the names of the two surveyors engaged. On one side of the tablet there is a dimensioned sketch of the plan of the estate not drawn to scale. The estate is divided by the survey lines into rectangles, right angled triangles and trapeziums. In each case the area is stated, two results obtained by different methods being given. Eisenlohr has plotted the survey, and his calculations of the area agree with the results given on the tablet. On the other side of the tablet the areas of the various portions are added together, two sets of figures being used, and the arithmetical mean taken as the correct area. The unit adopted, the "gan," is thought to be equal to 4,199 square meters. The absolute measures are, however, of slight importance. More important is the fact that land surveying was carried on 4,000 years B.C., apparently in an accurate manner, and certainly with check measurements.

Great difficulty is experienced in clearing the head and throat. No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, pollutes the breath, deranges the stomach and affects the appetite. To cure catarrh, treatment must be constitutional—alternative and tonic. "I was afflicted with catarrh. I took medicines of different kinds, giving each a fair trial; but gradually grew worse until I could hardly hear, taste or smell. I then concluded to try Hood's Sarsaparilla, and after taking five bottles I was cured and have not had any return of the disease since." Emene Forbes, Lebanon, Kan.

The mill agent, importer or manufacturer takes orders for a line of goods from jobbers and from large retailers for a full opening supply, but a great many of them are thus sold on a guarantee—that is, the buyers can return what they do not sell—a pretty safe business for the buyer. When the goods fail to move at a stipulated price, the sellers are notified that a certain quantity will be returned. Then new negotiations begin. If they are in jobbers' hands and the quantity is large, a drive may be arranged for; if not large enough for this, a sale may be arranged to a larger retailer. Then comes his announcement of a large purchase from a well known manufacturer or importer, greatly below cost, and being content with a small profit they are to be sold below cost. Very often, therefore, these sales do not mean a loss to the retailer or to the importer, but usually to the maker of the goods, whether domestic or foreign. Of course, buyers from agents who make up the goods into garments or convert them into bleached, dyed or printed articles cannot well fall back upon the mills.—Textile World. Where Do You Carry Your Money? The two wives were discussing the pecuniary peculiarities of their respective husbands, and they coincided with great unanimity until they reached the point of their own relation to the purse strings. "My husband never gives me a penny unless he growls about my extravagance," said one. "Mine does the same thing," attested the other. "But I get even with him." And her face showed the color of satisfaction. "How do you ever do it?" "I go through his trousers pockets when he's asleep." "Goodness gracious!" exclaimed the other. "I wouldn't do that for anything." "Why not? Haven't we a right to the money as well as they have?" "Yes, but I wouldn't go through my husband's trousers pockets for it." "I'd like to know why?" said the first, quite indignant at the apparent reproof. "Because," blushed the other, "he carries his money in his waistcoat pocket."—Pearson's Weekly.

The Natives Heard Him Recite and Thought Him a Lunatic. An itinerant college "professor," as he styled himself, was stranded in a little backwoods settlement, and in order to raise cash enough to help him farther on the road he proposed a Shakespeare club for the literary diversion of the citizena. "It's like those they have in the cities," he explained, "and if you folks want to keep up with the procession you must have one too." About a dozen applied for membership and were in the hall early, waiting for the professor, who was late in getting there. When he did arrive, after stating the object of the meeting, he proposed to give them samples of Shakespearean acting. He began with Hamlet, then took Macbeth and Richard III. There was no appliance from his audience while he was perpiring through the various acts. In fact, the audience was serious—very serious—and he noticed little groups forming here and there and engaging in whispered conversations. Finally a man went forward, took the professor by the arm and said: "You'd better come with me, pardner. Don't be afeared; we ain't gwine ter hurt you. It's all for your own good, so come elong now." "What do you mean?" asked the frightened professor. "That's all right, pardner. Jest come on quiet, an you'll fin' out what we're after. We ain't gwine ter tie you onless we has ter." By this time several had hold of him, and he was bustled out of the building to a room in the rear of a grocery store, where he was guarded by several citizens until morning. Then he was taken before the ordinary of the county under full guard. "He's one or them thar lunatics what jumped the asylum lately," explained the spokesman of the crowd. "The way he went on in the meetin las' night wuz orful—pitchin an rearin an hollerin an pullin at his hair like he wanted ter git his head off. We had ter keep him under close guard all night fer fear he'd hurt himself." "I know all erbout it," said the ordinary. "I wus in the meetin myself, but escaped early. What have you got ter say fer verself, sir?" "I was only trying to form a Shakespeare club, when!"— "It's my opinion," interrupted the ordinary, "that what you needs most is a hickory club.

The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, providing excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus leading itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy crumbs, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant.

All on Account of the Deacon. "There's another war on between Closer and Pinchem." "No? What's the matter this time?" Of course you know they hate each other. Been rivals in business and society for years. Long ago both wanted to marry the saint girl, and neither got her. Each blames the other for that. Mention Closer to Pinchem and he wants to fight. Mention Pinchem to Closer and he'll swear in the richest vocabulary a profane man ever accumulated. Deacon Worthy was the occasion of the most recent rupture. He was raising money for some good purpose and went to Closer, who headed the list with $300 under a positive agreement that $200 of the amount was to be immediately handed back to him. When the deacon went to Pinchem, there were red splotches on the moon. He denounced Closer as a miser and a shark. The idea of his having subscribed but $800 so much a cause was disgraceful. Pinchem put down $500 and generously told the deacon to call him if more needed. When Closer saw the list again, he was tickled into a congling fit and had word conveyed to Pinchem of his agreement with the deacon. They thought for a time that they'd have to put Pinchem in a straitjacket. The names he called Closer would keep a stenographer busy for a week. They reached Closer, and now there is to be a slander suit. Each has vowed to whip the other on sight, and it is better than a circus to see how they dodge each other in their daily walks.

The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties. No. farms Acres. Los Angeles 6577 869,638 Orange 2288 869,638 Riverside 2499 474,077 San Bernardino 2550 219,127 San Diego 2998 869,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties. Acres. Los Angeles 85,644 Orange 41,549 Riverside 22,947 San Bernardino 37,877 San Diego 16,922 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 8880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055; and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State.

Acres. Los Angeles 85,644 Orange 41,549 Riverside 22,947 San Bernardino 37,877 San Diego 16,922 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 8880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055; and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauDED county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State.

DeAuber—This is a little sketch I dashed off hurriedly just to keep the wolf from the door. Criticious—Well, if that doesn't frighten the life out of the wolf, I miss my guess. The healthy woman need not fear the change which comes as the beginning of life's autumn. It is the woman who is worn out, run down and a sufferer from womanly diseases who naturally dreads the change of life. This is the critical period of woman's life, and the prevalence of womanly diseases makes it the duty of every woman who would avoid unnecessary suffering to take especial care of herself at this time. The ills which vex so many women at the change of life are entirely avoided or cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It makes weak women strong, and enables the weakest to pass through this trying change with the tranquillity of perfect health. "I have been a very healthy woman, and this time has been very hard with me," writes Mrs. Maggie Morris, of Munson Station, Clearfield Co., Pa., Box 16. "I am come to the time of change of life, and I have been sick a great deal off and on. When Mrs. Hemmis moved beside me I was sick in bed, and when she came to see me and we were talking over our rickness, Mrs. Hemnis told me to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery,' also Pellets." I got her to bring me a bottle of each from the drug store and I used them. They did me a great deal of good, and I got two more bottles of 'Favorite Prescription.' I never saw such a wonderful cure. Before I commenced your remedies I was good for nothing; was in such misery I hardly knew what to do with myself now I can do all my work myself and feel well." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are easy and pleasant to take. Miss Idea. M. Snyder, Treasurer of the Brooklyn East End Art Club. "If woman would pay more attention to their health we would have more happy wives, mothers and daughters, and if they would observe results they would find that the doctors' prescriptions do not perform the many cures they are given credit for. "In consulting with my druggist he advised McElree's Wine of Cardui and Thefdor's Black-Draught, and so I took it and have every reason to thank him for a new life opened up to me with restored health, and it only took three months to cure me." Wine of Cardui is a regulator of the menstrual functions and is a most astonishing tonic for women. It cures scanty, suppressed, too frequent, irregular and painful menstruation, falling of the womb, whites and flooding. It is helpful when approaching womanhood, during pregnancy, after childbirth and in change of life. It frequently brings a dear baby to homes that have been barren for years. All druggists have $1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui. JOSEPH BACKS, Undertaker and Embalmer DEALER IN Furniture and Bedding Repairing Done. CATARRH is Ely's Cream Balm Easy and pleasant to use.

TROOPS AND DRINK. The Curious Statistics Showing What European Nations Pay For Them. The friends and advocates of "universal peace" and the focus of intemperance and inebriety are pretty generally agreed that the expenses attending war and war armaments and liquid beverages of an intoxicating or exhilarating kind are unduly large. There is an old proverb—it is not a Swiss proverb, of course—to the effect that a man who drinks more than he should "drinks like a Swiss," and it is for this reason, perhaps—and residents of the republic of Switzerland say for no better one—that the fame of residents of Switzerland for sobriety is not as farreaching as the fame of the Scotch, for instance, for frugality. A recent computation which has appeared shows that the annual expenditures of the Swiss for wine, beer, cider and brandy are 175,000,000 francs, six times as much as is spent on the army. Germany expends, or, more properly, individual Germans expend, $500,000,000 a year on liquid refreshments, distilled or fermented—obliquely beer and Rhine wine—and $120,000,000 a year on the German army. France expends in a year $500,000,000 on drink, chiefly wine, and $140,000,000 a year on the maintenance of the army of the republic. The Italians expend $250,000,000 a year for liquors, wines and cordials and $55,000,000 for the Italian army, the expenditures being in about the same ratio as in other nations. Austria-Hungary expends less upon liquor in a year than any other country of the first class in Europe, amounting to about $225,000,000, though persons who are familiar with life along the blue Danube might not unreasonably come to the conclusion that $900,000,-900 of this sum was spent in the city of Vienna alone in lager beer. Such, however, is not the case. In the mountainous districts, particularly in the Tyrol, Transylvania and in Croatia, very little wine is drunk, and though Hungary produces a large and steadily increasing amount of wine a very large proportion of it is exported to other countries. Relatively not much of it is kept for home consumption. The Austria-Hungarian army costs $70,000,000 a year, or less than one-third of the cost of the liquors consumed in a year. The Russians expend $300,000,000 a year in liquors and $150,000,000 a year, or one-half as much, for the maintenance of the army. England expends $480,000,000 a year on beer, ale, wine, porter, gin, rum and smoky whisky and $90,000,000 a year on the maintenance of the British army. No one knows exactly how much is ago the newspapers were calling attention to one of the richest men of the age working in his garden like a common laborer for his health's sake and for the same cause living abstemiously on a diet which a laborer would despise. There's a conspicuous example of the class of people whose success seems almost failure. But how many people are struck down fatally in the hours of success, no man can absolutely say. Stomach but when the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased, the nutritive properties are not extracted from food, the blood becomes poor, the body lacks adequate nourishment and the flesh "falls away." The weakness consequent on this loss of nutrition will generally find its expression in some one organ which has been longest starved. Thus as starvation causes weakness, when the nutrition falls short of the needs of the body we may look for the expression of that weakness in some one organ—lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, or any other vital organ of the body. When the diseased stomach is cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, then the diseases of other organs which originated in the disease of the stomach are cured also. WHAT PEOPLE SAY. "Your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy have been of great benefit to me," writes (Pref.) Pleasant A. Oliver, of Viola, Pulton Co., Ark. "Before I used the above mentioned remedies my sleep was not sound; digestion bad; a continual feeling of misery. I now feel like a new man." "I have been taking your medicines," writes Mrs. W. M. Bowers, of Lynch, Boyd Co., Neb., "and I can't say enough in their praise. They have helped me more than all our doctors have helped me in two years' doctoring. I spent dollars upon dollars for my lungs and received no benefit from the medicine I took; until a lady friend advised me to write to Dr. Pierce. I did so; took his kind advice; and am now so well as to be able to do my own work. I also took the 'Golden Medical Discovery' and the 'Pellets' six months for liver disease and indigestion, as the kind doctor advised. I know that they reached the case, as they have helped me so." "I have taken your medicine with the greatest satisfaction," writes Mrs. George Riehl, of Lockport Station, Westmoreland Co., Pa., "and can honestly say Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has cured me of a pain in my right lung that the best doctors could not help. My appetite and digestion have improved so that I can eat anything at all, and I feel better than I have for years. My pain is all gone and I feel like a new person." "I am glad to testify to the benefits derived from Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes Miss Mary Belle Summerton, of San Diego, Duval Co., trembled with very fre Hungary produces a large and steadily increasing amount of wine a very large proportion of it is exported to other countries.

No one knows exactly how much is spent in the United States on liquor in a year, especially in prohibition states, but it is supposed that the whiskey taken for medicinal purposes costs each year more than does the maintenance of the regular army.—New York Sun. A Little Musician. She is only 5 years old, a chubby, pretty little girl, with rosy cheeks and bright black eyes. Her name is Henrietta Scholder, and she lives in New York city. Her father is a workingman who has not much time or money to spend on music, but he liked it so well that he bought a piano and began taking lessons so that he might be able to teach his children what he learned himself. Little Henrietta was greatly interested and watched him, and when he left the piano she tried to imitate his movements. No notice was taken of her for awhile, but one day her father was astonished to find that she could rattle off with perfect ease from memory the exercises and tunes that he had been slowly learning for weeks. A good musician, Professor William C. Rehm, heard the little girl and agreed to teach her to use her wonderful gift for music. Recently at a private rehearsal she accompanied the well known collectist Karl Grienauer through many difficult movements. She played with remarkable intelligence, skill and power, running her little fat fingers over the piano keys with evident delight. Henrietta goes to public school, plays like other little girls and is fond of dolls. She is a happy and healthy child, with a love and gift for music.—Woman's Journal. The Policeman's Dilemma. The policeman looked after the man on the bicycle and shook his head doubtsfully. He watched him wabble up the street and then wabble back again, and he was sore troubled. "Hi, there!" he yelled at last. "Git off that wheel wanst till I see whether you're drunk." Well he knew that on a bicycle the signs of inebriety are sometimes misleading.—Chicago Post. Vocal Shakes. "Why does Miss Howler let her voice shake so when she is singing 'On the Banks of the Wabash'?" "That's her idea of realism.

There's a conspicuous example of the class of people whose success seems almost failure. But how many people are struck down fatally in the hours of success, no man can absolently say. Stomach "failure" means heart failure, the failure of kidneys, liver, lungs and any other organ inasmuch as each and every organ of the body is dependent on the stomach for its nutrition and therefore for its vitality. For this reason so vital statistics can ever give the number of those who fall victims to disease of the stomach and the other organs of digestion and nutrition. The best proof of this is that diseases of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., are constantly being cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which is primarily and chiefly a medicine for the cure of diseases of the stomach and of the blood. The body and all its organs are sustained by food properly digested and assimilated, which when converted into blood forms the nutrition by which physical life is renewed day by day. and meal by meal. Golden Medical Discovery has cured me of a pain in my right lung that the best doctors could not help. My appetite and digestion have improved so that I can eat anything at all, and I feel better than I have for years. My pain is all gone and I feel like a new person." "I am glad to testify to the benefits derived from Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes Miss Mary Belle Summerton, of San Diego, Daval Co., Texas. "I was troubled with very frequent headaches, often accompanied by severe vomiting; bowels were irregular and my stomach and liver seemed continually out of order. Often I could eat almost nothing, and sometimes absolutely nothing, for twenty-four hours at a time. I was entirely unfit for work, and my whole system seemed so run-down that I feared a severe sick spell, and was very much discouraged. I was advised to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and did so with such satisfactory results that before finishing the third bottle I felt perfectly able to undertake the duties attending public school life, and contracted to do so."

The indoor sports and amusements for evenings at home are mainly card games and story telling. The father tells his sons the tales of the mighty heroes of past ages, relates Japanese history and teaches reverence and obedience to the milkado, the "heaven appointed ruler," or the grandmother, gathering the little ones in a circle around the brazier filled with hot coals, tells them wonderful fox stories, stories of demons and gnomes and clever fables about animals. Their game of goman is like our checkers, but it requires 360 pieces instead of 24. It is played on a raised stand. In the game of chess they have 40 pieces. There are several ways of playing backgammon, and it is very popular. Private theatricals are a very common form of amusement among both boys and girls, and, like most of their sports, are frequently shared by their elders. As the children are often taken to the theater they readily imitate what they have seen there.—Ida Tigner Hodnett in St. Nicholas. Objected to the Motion. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn was extremely fond of going down to the sea in ships, and it was his custom to spend from Saturday to Monday on board his yacht. On one occasion he invited one of the puisne judges of the queen's bench to accompany him on a cruise. At the start the sea was as smooth as glass, but during the night the wind freshened up and caused the little craft to toss and roll in a manner which affected the puisne judge most unpleasantly. Lord Cockburn, hearing of his sickness, went into the cabin and laying a soothing hand on his shoulder. "My dear C., can I do anything for you?" "Yes, your lordship," he replied, in a pained voice. "You will greatly oblige me by overruling this motion."—Law Notes. Barley Alfalfa Wheat Beets GARDEN SEEDS 1902 Improvements. THE SANDERS-ARNOTT DISC PLOW.
