NOT A LOVE KNOT. Cn:Lnrrn«*i np Experience of a Woman In a Street Car. A handsomely dressed lady riding recctly in a crowded Amsterdam avenue > r was fortunate enough to have a- at. but when nearing her destinat : site noticed that the lacing of her fl: <■ was unfastened. It was the work cf a moment, but a very trying moment. to stoop down ami knot it securely. When this was accomplished, her hat v< :1 readjusted and her gloves once id >re carefully put on, it was time to signal the conductor. This she did and after two vain attempts to rise looked around indignantly to find the cause of her retarded movements. She came face to face with a very irate gentleman who bad been sitting next to her. “Madam, madam, where are you trying to take me?” he demanded. “I—you!” she stammered. "Yes. Look there!” He pointed to the lloor, and in an Instant she had grasped the situation. By mistake in groping she had found the lacing of his shoe, which she bad taken for the other end of her own, and bad fastened them so carefully togetner that it took the gentleman quite five minutes to effect a release, under the amused glances of the other occupants of the car, which had traveled twice that number of blocks before the lady was ready to give another signal,—New No Snnset For Five Day.. At the head of the gulf of Bothnia there is a mountain on the summit of which the sun shines perpetually during the live days of June 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23. Every six hours during this season of continual sunshine a steamer leaves Stockholm crowded with visitors anxious to witness the phenomenon. At the same place during winter the sun disappears and is not seen for weeks. Then it comes in sight again for ten, titteen or twenty minutes, gradually lengthening its stay until finally it stays in sight continuously for upward of 120 hours. I A Qae.tion of Color. Benjamin Constant when painting the portrait of Queen Victoria made the grand ribbon of the Garter, which .Was part of his illustrious sitter's costume, a certain tone of blue. The queen criticised this part of the picture, but Constant stuck to his color. One day he received from Windsor a little parcel containing the order of the Garter. The queen, fully convinced that she was right, had sent him the ribbon to prove bis color sense was wrong. sh e djj no t confer the Garter upon him, however. Albumenlxed Milk.

WHAT IT HAS COST Mortality Statistics of the Recent Insurrection In the Philip- ® pines. THE TOTAL DEATH LIST IS 4,470 Figures Compiled In the Adjutant General s Office Give Some Interesting Information for the Perusal of the General Public. Washington, July 24.—Major James Parker of the adjutant general's office has compiled some Interesting statistics regarding the insurrection in the Philippines. There were 2,561 engagements with the enemy, more or less serious, between Feb. 4, 1899, the date of the battle of Manila, and April 30, 1902, fixed as the virtual downfall of the insurrection. The larger proportion of these fights were attacks from ambush on the American troops, or skirmishes in which only small detachments took part. “In almost no case in these engagements.” says Major Parker, “did American troops surrender or have to retreat, or have to leave their dead and wounded in the possession jf the enemy, notwithstanding that in many cases the percentage of loss was high.” The number of troops that have been transported to the Philippines and have arrived there up to July 16 last was 4.135 officers and 123,863 men The average strength, taken from monthly returns for the period of the insurrection, was approximately 40 ■ 000. Major Parker summarizes the casualties of the American army as follows: Killed or died of wound. 69 officers and 936 enlisted men; deaths from disease, 47 officers and 2,535 en listed men: deaths from acc'lents, six officers and 125 enlisted men' drowned. six officers and 257 enlisted men; suicide, ten officers and 72 enlisted men; murdered, one officer and 91 enlisted men; total deaths, 139 officers and 4,016 enlisted men. Wounded, 190 officers and 2.707 enlisted men. a total of 2,897; killed and wounded and deaths other than by disease. 282 officers and 4,188 enlisted men; total. 4,470. A large proportion of the deaths by drowning occurred in action or in active operations against the enemy. Major Parker makes the percentage of killed and wounded to the strength of the army. 9.7.

De Ssvnng the Lantern. A southern senator was at ona time counsel for a small railroad. At a point on the line where it crossed a prominent highway they had an old negro watchman, whose duties consisted in warning travelers of the approach of trains. One night a farmer’s wagon was struck, causing a bad accident. The railroad company was us course sued for damages, and at the trial the old darky was the chief witness for his employers. He answered the questions put to him in a clear, direct manner. Among them was the query as to whether he surely swung his lantern across the road when he saw the train coming, to which he replied : “ ’Deed I did, sah.” The railroad company won the suit, and the senator took occasion later to compliment hit witness on his excellent testimony. The old fellow was profuse in thanks, but before they parted bluntly said: “Lordy, Marse John, I sho’ was skeered when dat lawyer gin to ax me ’bout de lantern. I was afeared he was goin’ to ax if it was lit or not, ’cause de oil in it done give out some time before de axdent.” The Perfect Head. A perfect bead, viewed from the side, falls within a perfect square, averaging nine inches for a man and B’4 inches for a woman. The width of the face is equal to five eyes. The distance between the eyes is equal to one eye. The size of the ejAls two-thirds that of the mouth. of the nose is one-third the length of the face. The car is, at all ages, as long as two eyes. Although these are the ideal measurements and are approximately adhered to, so fond of irregularity is nature that rarely any face corresponds to them. The two sides of any face are never exactly alike. Strictly speaking, the face extends only from the chin to the root of the nose. Above that point is the brain case. For a well developed brain the width of the head just above the ears, measured with callipers, should be from 5'4 to 6’4 inches, and the height from the opening of the ear to the top of the crown should be exactly the same. In women both height and width are one inch less than in men, women’s heads approaching the type belonging to children.—London Magazine. An Ills Child Saw Him. A prominent real estate man in Los Angeles bad an experience a few evenings ago that kept him guessing for a little bit as to whether be should feel complimented or otherwise. He was at home with one little daughter while his wife and another of the children were downtown. Darkness was coming on, and the little girl was anxiously watching for her mother's return. Her nervousness grew apace in spite of the father’s attempts at reassurance. At length the little one burst Into tears, saying: ’ “I just can’t help it! I need mamma, and I must have her!” ‘‘Do you do this way when your mamma is here and I’m away?” asked the father. "No, of course not,” replied the little one, “ ’cause then there’s some grownup person about the house!”—Los Angeles Herald. A Great Work of Art. It was Apelles vbo visited the studio of Protogenes in Borne and, finding the artist absent, drew a thin colored line in such away that the Roman knew that only his Grecian brother could have done it. But, not to be outdone, Protogenes drew a thinner line upon that of Apelles, and when this was seen Apelles drew a third line upon that of Protogenes. This panel was then looked upon as the greatest work of art, so says the story, in the palace of the Cttsars. Ea«y Enough. The New Arrival and the Experienced Maid are the dramatis personae of a brief comedy published in Life. The New Arrival was in doubt about the use of the blower on the open fireplace. “When will it be time to take this blower off?” “Lave it alone,” replied the Experienced Maid, “till it do be too bot for yez to touch; then lift it off.” Evolution of n Name, We have traced it back and find that a Topeka woman some sixteen years ago named her baby girl Bertha. Later she was called Bertie, then Birdie, then Bird, and when she was graduated it was Byrdeyne. Mothers never know how simple a thing may result tragically.—Atchison Globe. The Slice...fill Clilcugoan. “I tell you,” said the doctor, "it’s the man who can push himself along that succeeds best in this world.” "Not at nil.” replied the professor. "It’s the man who can shove others out of the way that succeeds best.”— Chicago Tribune. Acquiring a Golf Accent. "Brassie detests oatmeal, but he Is eating it regularly for breakfast now,” said Larkin. “What’s his object?” asked Gilroy. “He's trying to improve his golf accent”—Judge. More Fortnnnte Tlmn Moat.

i RirdN Made a Sieve. In the mountains of Tennessee a stranger came upon <i man who was shoveling coal upon a wooden sieve. Upon Inquiry how on earth he got such a curious thing the old man replied: “Stranger, I don’t think you’ll b’leeve me if I tell you.” “Oh, yes, certainly,” said the man; “I will believe you.” “Waal,” said the mountaineer, “it war this way: About five years ago I lived down on the side of the mountain whar woodpeckers and other kind o’ birds is powerful thick. That ’ar thing” —pointing to the'sieve—“war my door to my cabin. It 'nd mock any bird that flies. I’d jest sit tliar some summer evenin’ and jest move it, and every bird came that war imitated. “Howsumever, one day I left my cabin to go huntin’ and went preamblin’ down the mountain. Waal, some wind come along and made that 'ar door imitate a woodpecker. Fii«t one come and then a whole pile o’ tlie critters. They lit in on the door, and when I come it war jest like you see it.” The man thanked him and moved on. “I declar’,” said the mountaineer, “1 don't b’leeve be thought I war tellin’ the truth.” And he resumed shoveling coal.—New York Herald. Thouchtlexs. Selfish. Thoughtlessness of others is nothing more than downright selfishness, which is the curse of humanity. The man who on leaving an elevated train pauses at the head of the stairs to light his cigar is selfish. He incommodes all who are behind him. The woman who insists on passing up or down the stairs ahead of the eager crowd, slowly, indifferent to the haste of others, must be an awful thing at home. He who pauses to tie his shoe regardless of the interruption of traffic is a brute in bis family. I see all these things a dozen times a day and wonder what kind of lives such persons lead In the family circle. One of the common evidences of thoughtlessness is seen in those who stand in the middle of the sidewalk to chat while multitudes are forced to deflect or make an offset in order to pass them. The more I see of men the greater is my respect for asses, dogs and mules.—New York PressL A Rattled Bridegroom. A young couple were married in Fenelon Falls, and a number of their friends and relatives assembled at the railway station to see them off on their honeymoon. Old slippers and rice were showered on the hqppy pair as they boarded the train. Wten they got comfortably seated in the car, the groom noticed a boot in the aisle, and, thinking it was one that had been thrown into the car by some of his jovial friends, threw the boot out of the window as the train was moving. It happened that the boot belonged to a well known Toronto commercial traveler who had removed his boots to ease his weary feet On the arrival of the train at Lindsay tlie bridegroom was compelled to purchase a new pair of boots for the drummer^—Toronto Globe. A Pointed Suggestion. A young married lady is often criticised by her friends because of the freedom with which she accepts little attentions from friends of the other sex. At a recent gathering which she attended she drew from her pocket her lace handkerchief, in which a knot had been tied in order to call to her mind some trivial duty. “Dear me,” said the popular young married lady to several gallants about her, “why is that knot in my handkerchief? I tied it there to remind me of something. What could it be?” "My child,” said an old lady who overheard her and who is noted for the acrid wittiness of her repartee, “it was probably tied in order to remind you that you are married.” Swindled Aflraln. “Ah,” exclaimed Mrs. Oldcastle as she took a book from the table in the magnificent library of the new neighbors, “hand laid paper, isn't it?” “Is it?” her hostess asked, looking at it doubtfully. “I told Josiah when I bought them books that that’s one of the set of that lie was payin’ a whole lot too much. I'm glad it wasn't me. If I’d of went and give such a price for something that was hand laid, I’d never hear the last of it from him. But he wouldn't believe it when I told him he was cheated, because I seen the same set with nearly three times more gilt on the bindin's for a lower price. Josiah’s awful headstrong in some ways.”—Chicago Record-Herald. Sure Test. She—They held a mirror over her face to see if she was alive. I don't understand that. He—Why, you see. if she was alive she'd open her eyes and look in it

Permit us to call the attention of our readers to the important fact that there are three essential steps in the successful treatment of disease. First, a correct diagnosis; second, the selection of the proper remedies in their best possible form, and third, a thorough knowledge of knowing how to prepare these remedies and their physiological effects upon the human body, in order to effect a cure. In the three above named facts Dr. D. W. Tucker has no equal in the state of Indiana. He has treated many thousands of eases within the last thirty years. If one-fourth of the people that are now in the cemetery had consulted and been treated by some good Specialist instead of their family doctor, they would have lived twenty years longer. Only a Specialist who thoroughly understands Chronic Diseases, can treat them successfully. Dr. Tucker is without doubt the ablest Specialist in this state, and has treated and cured more Chronic and Private Diseases than all the other Specialists in this state combined. A doctor that has restored thousands to health, and can pro-
