A DISMAL FAILURE. * The La»t Joke He Tried to Play on His Dear Wife. “I don't think I'll try any more practical jokes on my wife. They don’t pan out well.” “Elucidate.” “You see, she has a habit of hoisting the window in our room every night. As I usually go to bed last, she depends on me to hoist it. Sometimes I forget it, and then there’s a wild squabble. Frequently she wakes me up in the night and asks me to see if it is open. If I don’t she nags at me until morning. A night or two ago I resolved to give her a hard scare. I rolled up a lot of old newspapers into a long bundle and laid the package down by the window. Os course she was asleep and didn’t hear me. Then I opened the window a little ways and crept Into bed. Some time after midnight she nudged me and said: ‘Jim, I’m sure you didn't open that window. It’s like a bake oven in the room. Get up and see.’ So I got. up, went to the window and threw the sash as high as ft would go. As I did so 1 gave a little shriek and then flung my bundle down to the walk below. It struck with a dull thud, and I dodged behind the curtain to await developments. The room was very dark, and I couldn’t see my wife, but I heard her raise herself to a sitting posture. Then she spoke. ‘Poor old Jim,’ she quietly said, 'he’s tumbled out of the window In his raggedest nightshirt. What a spectacle he’ll be when they find him In the morning!' Then she lay down again and went to sleep.” “What did you do?” “Stood there like a fool for a minute or two and then sneaked into bed.”— Cleveland Plain Dealer. ONE MEAL A DAY. Pronounced n Srcrrt of Haman Health and llappinena. It Is by no means Impossible that the newest world lecturer will allude to the delays of the single meal reform. The one meal a day plan was successfully practiced by some 80,000,000 men of the healthiest, wealthiest and most intelligent nations of antiquity for nearly 1,000 years. No unprejudiced observer can deny that for the vast plurality of our fellow men there Is no other practicable way to live up to the principle of the sanitary maxim, “Never to eat till we have leisure to digest.” Nine out of ten laborers have to burry from the breakfast table to their daily work and cannot count upon more than a few minutes of afternoon meal rest. The same In rolling mills, shipyards, railway yards, workshops and schoolrooms. Less than a year's time would suffice to give the one meal habit the force of a second nature, and those who would like to form an idea of its universal observance during the classic period of antiquity should read Peter Bayle's dissertation on “Domestic Life In Athens and Home” or De Qulncey’s humorous essay, published In the second volume of miscellanies under the title, “Dinner, Real and Reputed.” There would be time for play, for reading, for the enjoyment of art and entertaining conversation. Sunstrokes would be known only from the traditions of insanitary barbarism. The granger’s youngsters would get afternoon sports enough to think life on a farm decidedly worth living. No after dinner martyrdom would tempt truants, housekeeping drudgery would be lessened two-thirds. —Felix M. Oswald, M. D„ tn Health Culture. A Telegram That Talked. At one time when the late Georgie Drew Barrymore was playing In San Francisco n fabulous sum was offered her by a local theater for her services for a few weeks. The offer was exceedingly tempting, but her contract with Charles Frohman stood in the way. However, on the nothing venture nothing won theory, she telegraphed n detailed statement of tlie offer she had received to Frohman in New York, explained how amlous she wns to accept It and wound up with the pica. "Will you release me?” In due course of time she received the following telegram In answer: Mr,. Otorgts Drew Barrymore, Palece Hotel, San Francisco: Nol Charles Fi ohmam. Albeit disappointed. Mrs. Barrymore nt once sent this characteristic reply: Charlea Frohman. New York City: Qhl Qkmmhb Barrtmors.

ECZEMA - SATANIC This most aggravating and tormenting of all skin diseases is caused by an acid condition of Q the b|sod, and unless relieved through certain instrumentalities too much of tins acid poison reaches the skin and it becomes red and inflamed. Tlie itching and burning are Z'jwgsMEras almost unoearable, especially when overheated from any cause. The skin seems on fire sleep or rest is impossible, the desperate sufferer, regardless of gpnsequences, scratches until strength is exhausted O r rlus burning, itching humor appears sometimes in little pustules, discharging a stickv fluid which J crust ? and scales. Again the skin is dry, hard and fissured, itches intensely, bleeds and scabs over V A A “ IS ls ® P a ’»f u l “nd stubborn form of the disease. While Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum and many like troubles are spoken of as diseases of 4-y 1 ’he skin, they are really blood diseases, because m THERE CAM BE NO EXTERNAL IRRITATION WITHOUT AN INTERNAL CAUSE. blood is in a pure, healthy condition, no poisonous elements can reach the skin. External applications of washes, lotions and salves sometimes mitigate the itching and soothe the inflammation, but cannot reach the disease. Only S. S. S., the real blood medicine, can do this. . • S-» O!1 *y purely vegetable remedy known, is a safe and permanent cure for Eczema and all deep-seated blood and •* in rou °* cs - I* goes direct to the seat of the disease, neutralizes the acids and cleanses the blood, re-inforces and invigorates a" the organs, and thus clears the system of all impurities through the natural channels; the skin relieved, all inflammation subsides, and all signs of the disease disappear.

A Well Drefnted Pauper. In all large cities there Is away of getting rid of undesirable persons by means of giving them a “pauper's pass” to some city to which they want to goIt seems that a lawyer who is quite well known about town and who, like many other persons, is not averse to traveling on a free ticket had made several requests to a certain official for a pass to New York. He had been refused a number of times, but with a persistence worthy of a better cause he continued to bore his official friend. Finally lie was supplied witli the magic pasteboard, and without looking at it he went to the railroad station and paid for his seat in the parlor car. When the conductor came along, the lawyer, who. by the way, is a man of rather imposing appearance, was reading a paper and with the nonchalance supposed to be second nature to those who never pay their carfare held out his pass, never even glancing at the conductor. That official took the pass, read it carefully, looked at the holder of it and then examined the pass again with considerable care. The lawyer, noticing that the conductor seemed to be giving the pass more than ordinary attention, stared at the official with a manner that indicated that he might at least be a director and asked with considerable warmth, "Anything the matter with that pass?” The conductor looked at his questioner in a quizzical way and then said, “No; the pass is all right, but you are certainly the best dressed pauper I ever saw.”—Boston Transcript. Sabiequent Heflectlon. “Ob. what a beautiful water lily!” No sooner had the muiden uttered these words than Archie Sixcap resolutely waded out after it. He sank in mud up to his waist at once. But he didn’t get the illy. It was still yards away from him and in deeper mud. “Fools rush in." be muttered savagely to himself as he turned and began slopping his way back to shore, “vJhere angels have too darned much sen£e to tread!”--Chicago Tribune.
