Unfortunate Lady Lamb.

Many of Byron’s most charming and tender verses are written to Lady Caroline Lamb, the novelist whose life was sadly Interesting. She was married before the age of 20 to the Honorable William Lamb and was long the favorite of fashionable circles for her literary accomplishments, her personal attractiveness and her grace. Upon meeting Lord Byron, she became the victim of an unfortunate infatuation for the poet which continued three years and •was the cause of much comment. The poet is said to have trifled with her feelings and a quarrel took place. For many years Lady Caroline led a life of comparative seclusion at Brocket Hall. While riding one day with Mr. Lamb, she met at the park gates the hearse which was conveying the remains of Lord Byron to Newstead Abbey. She was taken home insensible and a long and severe illness followed, during which she had spells of Insanity. From this time her manner and habits changed and three years before her death, a separation took place between her and husband, who, however, visited her frequently and corresponded with her. A romantic susceptibility of temperament seems to have been the misfortune of this lady. This fact illustrates the wisdom of Thompson’s advice: “Then keep each passion, however dear, Trust me, the tender are the most severe.” Cleveland has a “colored Wagner” in Harry L. Freemnn, who has composed several operas and other music of considerable merit. He is now engaged in writing an opera based upon folk lore, in which the music will be African folk songs of the South.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS, * Daughters Should be Carefully Guided in Early Womanhood. What suffering frequently results from a mother’s ignorance; or more frequently from a mother’s neglect to properly instruct her daughter! Tradition says “woman must suffer,” and young women are so taught. There is a little truth and agreat deal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman suffers severely she needs treatment and her mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina~ tion; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham’s address is Lynn, Mass. The following letter from Miss Mabib P. Johnson, Centralia, Pa., shows what neglect will do, and tells how Mrs. Pinkham helped her: “My health became so poor that I had to leave school. I was tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in, my side and back. I was also troubled with irregularity of menses. I was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed- My mother, who is a firm believer in your remedies from experience, thought perhaps they might benefit me, and wrote you for advice. I followed the advice you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as well as I ever waß. I have gained flesh and have a good color. I am completely cured of irregularity."

FRIENDLY WARNING.

The Old Men Had a Personal Interest in the Flirtation. The young manta the street car with the swell suit and gold-headed cane waa trying to flirt with the girl opposite, when the old man on his left nudged him with his elbow and hoarsely whispered: “Young man, pause and reflect" “Are yon speaking to me, star demanded the young man. “Yes, right to yon, but I’ve got such a hard cold that I cannot say-much. Let me repeat that you should pause ahd reflect !” “What for?” “You are trying to flirt with that young gal, sir!” “And is it any of your business?” “It is, sir. Excuse my hoarseness. 1 kicked the bed clothes off the other night and got cold. I want to say to you, sir, that It is my business, sir! Suppose that you succeed in attractin’ that gal’s attention?” “Well, what of it ?’ “She might be flattered and flirt back, though I don’t think she’s very flirtations. It might lead to a case of love, and love to marriage.” “Yon’d better attend to your own business, sir!” replied the yonng man. “That’s what I’m a-doin’, sir! ’Scuse me while I blow my nose. Yes, sir, I’m attendin’ right to my business.” “Then let mine alone?’ “Then you let mine alone! I’m that gal’s father!” “Oh, you are!” “Yes, I am, and I don’t want no more foolin’ around! I’ve got four sons-in-law Jest about your shape, and am supportin' the hull gang of ’em, and afore you saddle me with a fifth you’d better pause and reflect. It might be the last straw, and I’d turn the hull crowd out to dig fur fodder under the snow banks!”

A SCHOOL GIRL’S BATTLE.

From The Mail, Milford, IndL Miss Emma Rybolt, a prepossessing school girl, of Milford, Lnd., is of more than usual intelligence, and is ambitious to rise in the literary world. “In the fall of 1896,” said Mrs. Rybolt, “Emma was taken ill. She was a close student and her work began to tell on her. She grew weak, pale and nervous, and complained of pains in her back, chest and limbs. The doctor said she was a victim of nervous prostration, and should have been taken from school weeks earlier. She grew worse, Irer nerves were so tense that the least noise irritated her and sh& had a fever and a continual twitching in her muscles. The symptoms were much like St. Vitus’ dance.

Her Battle.

cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and I decided to try them. “Emma had no faith in proprietary medicines, but decided to try the pills. It was about the first of April when she began, and by the middle of May, after taking about eight boxes, she was entirely cured. “While ill she lost twenty-eight pounds, but now weighs more than ever before. Her nerves are strong and she is in perfect health. We are all confident that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People cured her. and I cheerfully recommend them in all similar cases. “MRS. E. A. RYBOLT.” Subscribed and sworn to before me, this third day of September, 1897. CALEB BAKER, Notary Public. These pills will cure all diseases arising from a poor and watery condition of the blood, will build up a run down system and are a specific for paralysis, locomotor ataxia and other diseases long regarded as incurable.

Hypnotizing a Hen.

“Did you ever hypnotize a chicken?” asked Police Commissioner Kind the other night. “It’s dead easy. Just catch your hen, place it on the floor in front of you, with its tail toward you. Take a piece of chalk and draw a straight line, beginning at a point just under the hen’s head and extending a foot and a half or more. “The bird will fasten Its eyes on the chalk, and in a twinkling she is unconscious of anything but that line. You can cuff and kick her about as much as you please, but her gaze will immediately return to the chalk line. When I was sailing before a mast It was not an unusual thing on a calm day, when there was no work In sight, to see a dozen or more sailors, each with a hen in his hands, drawing chalk marks. It Is the most perfect case of complete hypnotism I ever saw. Jusit try It some time if you don’t believe it.”—-Toledo Blade.

The Use of Chicory.

Few people are aware of the extent to which chicory is used as an addition to coffee. This vegetable is usually spoken of as an adulterant, and many look upon it as such. It has, however gained such a foothold in public esteem that housekeepers are buying it and mixing it with their coffee by choice. It is thought to make the coffee richer, and is employed for the purpose and without any consideration for economy. An immense amount of chicory is grown in Nebraska, and the last year’s yield Is said to be excellent quality. At one factory 14,000 pounds of finished chicory are turned out every twentyfour. hours. This is but one of the large plants In the State. There are contracts with Nebraska farmers for 15,000 acres of chicory, and at Fremont the drying plant is running at the rate of eighty tons a day.—New York Ledger.

PAYING THE PENALTY

CHAPTER XL—(Continued.) “True! But we are alive to each of these facts. We are in communication with the officials of every important city in the Union. All questionable resorts such as are usually frequented by criminals, are nnder surveillance from one end of the ceuntry to the other.” “Glad to hear that. Well, I receivedinstructions from the president of our company this moratag to offer a reward of just ten thousand dollars for the apprehension and conviction of the man who assaulted Elsworth and the restoration of that package or its contents of twenty thousand dollars, to the company.” “By Jove!” exclaimed the inspector. “That is a good round sum. Fifty per cent of your loss—it will set every expert detective In the country at work. We cannot be outdone. Onr department must capture that reward. But what portion of it goes for the apprehension and conviction of Elsworth’s assailant if the money is not recovered?” v "Not a dollar. Onr president in his communication states that as a safeguard and as a bar to an inducement on the part of unscrupulous so-called detectives—if there be such—to capture the reward, even though an innocent man be convicted, the reward will be paid only on conviction of the robber and restoration of the contents of that package.” “Which will result,” observed the inspector, “in very few detectives engaging In the case. But suppose the criminal Is convicted and but a part of the money is recovered?” “There also I have instructions. If the money recovered exceeds the amount of the reward, the ten thousand dollars will be paid; but not otherwise.” “You need have no fear of unscrupulous detectives convicting an innocent man by reason of any incentive they will receive from the conditions under which the reward is to be paid, certainly,” remarked Hunt. “But there are those ” “Oh, yes, plenty of them. They are mostly these private detectives—these dime novel sleuths. Yes, sir, they would convict their grandmothers for reward enough. But our force is composed of better timber.” “We are well aware of that, inspector,” said Mr. Andrews; “but our object is to offer no incentive to the class you have named.” “I see.” “Our proclamation will appear In the journals of ail our largest cities, as well as in some of the European papers. We are also getting out a few thousand handbills, and would like your assistance in—” “I see,” said Hunt. “Send over a bunch and I will have my secretary mail them to the chiefs of various departments in this country and Europe.” “Thanks; that is what I would have requested. Good day.” After his visitor had departed, the inspector leaned back in his chair, and the expression that fell from his lips was this: “Well, I’ll be d d! The old skate didn’t think of asking my advice. Ha, ha! There is not only no incentive for crooked detectives, but there is no incentive for our department. We are no cheap skates. I should say not.” At 4 p. m. a messenger from the express office laid a package on the desk of the inspector and with the words, “Those reward posters,” took his departure. Hunt soon had one of them spread out before him, which he read aloud for the benefit of several detectives he had been consulting with when the messenger arrived. “‘TEN THOI’SANn DOLLABS beW ARD V “ ‘The Union Express Company will pay the above-named sum for the apprehension and conviction of the robber, or robbers, who, between 4:35 and 4:45 p. m., on Tuesday, June 27, 1855, assaulted and robbed Collector Elsworth, of their service, of a money package containing $20,000.’ “ ’Said money was In State bank bills In denominations ranging from $5 to SIOO The bills were put up In SI,OOO packages, each package encircled by the ordinary paper slip, which, besides the SI,OOO mark, bore the letters L. T., the same being the Initials of Lawrence Terry, the cashier of the Great Western Bank, from whom our collector had, at 4:85 p. m., received the money. The twenty SI,OOO packages were embraced in one and It bore on its surface the words: “ ‘Central Bank, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.’ “ ‘The assault and robbery took place In the alley between Washington and Randolph streets/

“A year p a seed, and, under a change of ihnma b came some- • what better i but soon ’ was as bad as ever. One day I read of a case similar to hers which was

“ ‘The above reward will be paid only on condition that the $20,000 be recovered and returned to the company, or a sum exceeding 60 per cent, of the same.’ “ ‘For the conviction of no supposed criminal will the Union Express pay one dollar.’ “ ‘A schedule of the hanks or Issue of the bills making up the package can be had at our office.’ “ ‘The only clew as to the perpetrator, or perpetrators, of the crime, In so far as we are aware, Is that, on returning from the Northwestern Bank to the Union Express office, with the package In his possession, Collector Elsworth passed, on the sidewalk. Just before entering the alley where the robbery was committed, a man of dark, swarthy complexion, black hair and mustache, about 6 feet 8 Inches In. height and wearing a Derby hat and a dark sack coat. Our collector might not be able to Identify this man, as It was a dark, rainy evening, and he was carrying an umbrella, which he tilted forward as he noticed that he was observed.’ “ ‘This man also carried a cane. It Is the belief of the collector that this cane was loaded; that this man stole up behind him In the alley and struck him the blow the effects of which rendered him unconscious and an easy victim.’ “‘A. B. DOUGLASS,’ “ ‘President Union Express.’ “ ‘JACOB ANDREWS, Chicago Agent.’ " To the above proclamation of reward there was added in the Chicago newspapers’ reward announcements, these words: “Mr. Elsworth, our collector, states that the man he observed on the walk before entering the alley, bore a marked resemblance to the teller of the Northwestern Bank, Earl Kellogg, a nephew of President Kellogg, a worthy young man in all respects, and who, at the time of the robbery was at his desk in the bank. It was this resemblance that impressed the collector sufficiently to attract his attention, tie states, however, that this man appeared to be all of forty years of age, while the teller is a much younger man.” “There you are, boys!” exclaimed the inspector. “Now there is an incentive for you, sure. What do you say, Roan?” “Say? Why, the company will never be called on to pay that reward. Of course there is a possibility that we may corral the right man and recover some of the money, but we will have the field to ourselves. No private detective would touch the case on those terms. What do you say, Goss?” “I have run in ten men on the case and made enemies enough. Of course I want to earn my eighty dollars a month, but I am not blowing in money on uncertainties. That chap has skipped from Chicago, in my opinion, or we have had him in here and released him. If we had the numbers of some Of those bills we could do something; but ” “If we ever capture the man under the conditions,” said the inspector, “it will be because of future developments that we cannot foresee. Keep your eyes about you, but bring no more men here unless you find a good round sum of money in their possession and they are unable to account satisfactorily as to how they became possessed of it. Pay out no more car fare on the case. There is nothing in it. If anything comes your way, well and good. Andrews’ proclamation has knocked the bottom out of the whple business.” “If the reward had been offered for the conviction of the criminal without stipulating that the funds must be recovered,” said Officer Roan, “we would have the man in a week, and send him down next toort.”

BY HESCOTT

He was dressed in a suit of navy blue that seemed to fit exactly his attractive figure. The cashier glanced up as he approached the window. “Could I see Mr. Kellogg, the president of the bank?” he asked. “Not to-night, sir, unless yon visit his home. He left the bank an hour since. Is your business with him especially?” “I called to inquire if there were not marks by which some of those bills, stolen on the evening of June 27, might be identified—if you had a record of the numbers of the bills. It is not material that I see the president. In fact you yourself, or the teller, doubtless could inform me.” “Are you a detective, sir?” “Not a Chicago detective, but the work is in my line. I was attracted by the express company’s offered reward, and thought I would endeavor to earn it. I want nothing to do with the Chicago forcej I have my own methods and shall follow them. I am satisfied with the terms of the offer if ” “I understand—if any of the bills can be identified. Unfortunately we would be unable to identify a single bill that went to make up that package.” “Well, well!” “True, we have a schedule of the banks of issue, but not of the bill numbers. Nor was there a marked bill of any description, to my knowledge.” “The package was made up— r ” “By myself, the company’s collector standing where you now stand as I ran over the bills.” “Will you kindly furnish me a copy of your schedule of the bank issues that made up that package?” “Certainly. Here is a correct copy. I hope it may be of aid to you.” “Why did you schedule those bills and not schedule the bill numbers?”" “We always schedule the banks of issue in making up money packages for shipment by express. You see in these times, it is a matter of protection to the bank. The worthless bills of no defunct institution, or of one trembling on the verge of bankruptcy, can come back to us. You understand?” “By—yes, .1 understand. Bnt—but—pray who was present aside from yourself and the teller when this package was made up?” “The teller, Mr. Earl Kellogg, Banker Kellogg’s nephew, was standing here at my elbow as he now does. The bookkeeper was stationed at his desk where you see him. The porter was near the outer door.” “Earl Kellogg, the banker’s nephew. This, then, is the young man who bears such a striking resemblance to the supposed robber?” “Well, so the collector thought.” “Yes, I have visited the express office. He doubts if he could identify the man.” Here Earl glanced up and his eyes met those of the newcomer, who seemed to be gazing at him intently. “Yon—you are the banker’s nephew? Your name is Kellogg?” “Right, in each case,” said Earl, who felt extremely nervous under the piercing gaze of the questioner’s black eyes. “Yon more resemble a Southerner than

“Sore thing!” exclaimed Goss. “Send some one down and whack up on the reward.” “Get oat of this?’ said the inspector. “Go on, yon are only joking. Bat the next man yon find that resembles the yonng bank teller, fathom his financial condition before yoo lock him up,” CHAPTER XII. At the banker’s residence there was no little uneasiness felt and displayed over the continued ill health of Janette. She had apparently rallied nnder the doctor’s treatment, and in a week’s time had been able to descend the stairs to the parlor; but two days later she was a greater sufferer tbiti she had been before the physician had been called. “I declare,” the. doctor had said, “this is a stubborn case. It has assumed a chronic condition, and I will have to watch it more closely-” “Do yoto regard my daughter as being in a critical condition?” Mr. Kellogg had asked. “Oh, no, not in a critical condition; bat the malady should have yielded to treatment readily. It seemingly did, in fact; yet the improvement was bnt temporary. I think, Ms. Kellogg, that Janette had been suffering from hear ailment for a longer time than yon were aware of.” "Doubtless. She liked not the idea of being an’ invalid''. Spare not time or expense, doctor.” “We wIH soon have her bat, I trust,” the physician had stated. “And yet,” he mattered to himself while leaving the house, “I hardly understand it. The usual remedies, the best of attention, no apparent cause, and her condition not improved an iota.” The affairs of the bank were progressing as. usual, though its president, after the seeming relapse of Janette, devoted less of his time to that Institution. The officers of the bank, after the appearance of the reward proclamation of the express company, were subjected to one annoyance of considerable magnitude —particularly was this the case with the yonng teller.

Many would-be detectives and doubtless others led by curiosity, daily visited the bank for the sole purpose of obtaining a glance at the features of Earl Kellogg; some, in fact, gazed so intently at the young man that he became nervous and greatly annoyed. “Their idea must be,” said Terry, “to impress your features indelibly upon their brains before they go searching round the globe for your counterpart.” “It is Very annoying,” Earl said. “I wish that thief had resembled some one else. I imagine that was fancy on the part of Elsworth. Why, he stated that that man was forty years of age at least.” “Yet in form and features he might resemble you,” observed Terry. “I should pay no attention to them. Let them gaze their fill. In a week’s tinfe there will be no more of it.” “I wish they would repair to the express office and haunt that,” said Earl. “Doubtless that is also receiving attention. But, Earl, I doubt if the mystery attending that robbery is ever cleared up.” “I fail to see how it can be,” said Earl. “The robber would hardly remain in this locality. He probably left the city immediately after committing the crime.” “He may be on the ocean now,” remarked the cashier. “That money no one can trace. He has twenty thousand dollars in cash and will be satisfied to settle down far from the shores of America.” “Yes,” said the teller with a quiet smile, “that villain has twenty thousand in good, sound cash, and I believe he is safe. It was a bold stroke, though.” “It was; but everything favored the scoundrel. He had undoubtedly spotted Elsworth and was watching for an opportunity. The rain on the evening of the twenty-seventh kept people off the streets, and when he saw the collector enter the bank, he realized that his opportunity had arrived. It was an easy matter for him to leave the alley without attracting attention.” “True, there was none on the street to observe him.” The ninth of July, at near the closing hour, a gentleman entered the door of the bank and approached the window of the cashier. This man bore the appearance of being an individual of some importance, or at least of one believing himself to be of some importance. He was something less than six feet in height. As he walked forward he seemed as straight as an arrow, and his step was both quick and firm. A pair of gold-rimmed spectacles rested across the bridge of a rather prominent nose, and his face was beardless. A light Panama sat easily on his head. There was hardly enough of his close-cut hair to have enabled a close observer to state its color.

s&jkl Kfl y) “Ah, thataceounts for it! Wen, I most be By the way-Mr. Terry, I be- “ Yes, I see yon remember names well,” said Lawrence. 'f “Not only names, but faces as well I never forget a face. Never, even though the yean from infancy to manhood may have intervened.' But are yon quite certain, Mr. Terry, that none of the biUs making op that package were the bills of defunct banks?" “Why, certainly I am. That money was shipped to satisfy the demands of a draft. Each bill was carefully inspected when received in this bank, and as carefully scrutinized by both the express collector and myself when the package was made up. Not a dollar was there but would stand at par with coin. But why that question? You have a schedule of the banks.” “That question? Oh, I ” The eyes of the gentleman in navy blue were again on the face of the teller. Earl abruptly turned from his desk and approached a window facing the street. “I—l thought that perhaps if there was but one, and that one found its way back to the bank, it might prove of assistance in this case.” “Why, man! The collector being robbed, those bills not reaching their destination, even admitting that there was such a bill, how would it ever be returned V ‘True, true;” quickly exclaimed the gentleman. “It will prove a difficult case; but I have fathomed deeper mysteries. I have been working on one for years, with never a clue until to-day. Many thanks for your information. Good evening.” “You are welcome, sir, and I hope you may win the ten thousand reward. Good evening.” The gentleman in blue passed from the bank. (To be continued.)

Receptions at the White House. There is perhaps no time or place In which there Is such urgent need of quickness of wit and kindly tact as art: the public receptions given by the President of the United States and his wife. When a queen receives her subjects, the etiquette is fixed and inexorable. No one speaks unless addressed by royalty. But Americans of all classes crowd into the Blue Room, many with a question or a joke which they have prepared to fire at their unprepared ruler, and they judge by the fitness of his reply whether he Is competent to hold his office or not. * Many otf them, too, through sheer embarrassment make foolish remarks, the memory of Which probably causes them misery afterward. One frightened lady assured Mrs. Cleveland: “It is a mutual pleasure to meet you,” correcting her mistake by calling out as she was passed down the line, “I meant to say the pleasure is al on your side.” A group of students out from college on a holiday, were presented to the same lady just after her entrance to the 'White House for the second time. One 'lad, a Freshman, pale with diffidence, heard 'himself to his horror saying In a loud, squeaky tone of authority: “Madam, I think you have just cause to 'be proud of your husband.” The other boys stared with amazement and delight, storing up the “joke on Bill” for all future time. But there was not a flicker of a smile upon the sweet, womanly face of the first lady of the land. “Ah!” she said, gravely, still holding his hand, “you bring me the verdict of posterity! I thank you.” The Freshman’s comrades were delighted at the reply and at the opportunity given to chaff Bill upon the awkwardness of his address, but Bill only knew that he had seen what seemed to him the kindest woman in the World.

Hawthorne’s Bear Story.

In “Hawthorne’s First Diary,” begun at his home in Raymond, Maine, when he was a small boy, he tells a bear story, which is vouched for by his editor. Hawthorne gives it as follows: Mr. Henry Turner of Otisfield took his ax and went out between Saturday and Moose ponds, to look at some pinetrees. A rain had just taken off enough of the snow to lay bare the roots of a part of the trees. Under a large root there seemed to be a cavity, and on examining closely, something was exposed very much like long black hair. He cut off the root, saw the nose of a bear, and killed him, pulled out the body, saw another, killed that, and dragged out the carcass, when he found that there was a. third one in the den, and that he was thoroughly awake, too; but as soon as the head came in sight, it was split open with the ax, so that Mr. Turner alone, with only an ax, killed three bears in less than half an hour, the youngest being a goodsized one, and what the hunters call a yearling. This is a pretty good bear story, but probably true, and happened only a few weeks ago; for John Patch, who was here with his father, Gapt. Len Patch, who lives within two miles of Saturday Pond, told me eo yesterday.

Imaginative Eyesight.

After General Forrest's raid into Memphis, large stories were told about his heroism and the marvelous doings of his troops. One of the best Illustrations of the admiration inspired by the general came from a negro soldier, who claimed to have seen him, as he rode up in front of the Gayoso Hotel. He began telling his companions how Forrest looked, and finally came to the appearance of his horse. “I was a-stan’in’ right in dis alley,” said he, “when I seen him come up. He rid his hoss right up to de hotel; an’ —l’m tellin’ you de truf—he hitched his hoss right to de second-story banisters. I seed him. I tell you I seed him!”—Youth’s Companion.

Prohibition That Prohibits.

Whatever the deep-water sailor’s inclinations and habits may be he gets no liquor to drink at sea, unless it comes from aft and Is dealt out to him. When the men that make up the crew go aboard, which they do just before the ships sail, their traps are searched, and if whisky is found It goes usually over the side; sometimes the captain takes charge of it and deals if out to the men in bad weather. It might be possible for a sailor to smuggle aboard a little whisky, enough ‘to last for a day, but after that he would be most likely a total abstainer until the ship reached port.

Why We Have Lynching.

The law’s delay in this country is probably responsible for the enormous number of lynchings as proportioned to the legal executions for crime. In the 10 years ending with 1805 there were to this country 48,834 homicides, the legal executions were 1,030 and the lynchings 1,656. Maxim’s cavalry gun, which fires 700 shots a minute, weighs but 30 pounds, and can be carried strapped to a soldier’s back.

HEALTH NOTES.

Are Well Those Who ktb a good complexion depends largely on the proper circulation of good blood' throughout the body. Good blood depends upon the assimilation of digested food of the right quality. Anything which Interferes with the proper circulation of the blood t«nda to make the complexion poor; for example, tight lacing, tight shoes, tight neckbands and tight waistbands. Many cases of red nose are due to some form of pressure. Red hands, too, are often due to some impediment in the circulation of the blood; for example, tight gloves often produce and coarseness of the hands. In c -rly youth redness of the hands is as vfWu as not due to impeded circulation and to their exposure to cold winds after they have been washed. When redness of the hands proceeds from a chapped skim—a very frequent source of trouble—the remedy is to dry the hands very thoroughly and to strengthen and soften the cuticle by means of glycerine rubbed on while the hands are moist, and also of putting on and wearing loose kid gloves at night. Glycerine is a safer application than vaseline, because vaseline increases the growth of hair on the face and hands. A simple but effective remedy to remove the swelling and inflammation of a sprain which causes great pain consists In three drops of turpentine and the yolk of an egg, beaten together very thoroughly. Rub the sprained part every morning and night with this.

Our American Policy.

The policy of this country regarding foreign complications seems likely to remain conservative. The Monroe doctrine will be sustained, bat patience and prudence in official quarters will restrain public opinion. The wisest and most prudent course for the rheumatic and the malarious is to use Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.

With green leaf plates was the board complete, With drops of dew for their bread and meat, And in blue Delft cups the honey-wine sweet. And they only stayed to dance and sup, Nor cleared the table of platter and cup; For the rain washed all the dishes up. —Woman’s Home Companion.

There Is a Class of People

Who are injured by the use of coffee. Recently there has been placed in all the grocery stores a new preparation called GRAIN-O, made of pure grains, that takes the place of coffee. The most delicate stomach receives it without distress, and but few can tell it from coffee. It does not cost over one-fourth as much. Children may drink it with great benefit. 15c. and 25c. per package. Try it. Ask for GRAIN-O.

Professor—When you have finished your lecture, bfcw gracefully and leave the platform on tiptoe. Dulle—Why on tiptoe? Professor—So as not to waken the audience!

Great Britain’s Coal Supply. The British coal fields cover about 9,000 square miles, from which nearly 5,500,000,000 tons have already been taken, and there yet remain vast supplies. From these figures Mulhall, the English statistician, argues that there need be no fears of the exhaustion for 1,000 years of the world’s supply of coal, as Britain’s 9,000 miles of fields are but a speck in a total coal area of 471,800 square miles, divided as follows: China and Japan, 200,000; United States, 194,000; India, 35,000; Russia, 27,000; Great Britain, 9,000; France, 1,800, and Belgium, Spain other countries, 1,400.
