Seven Diseases Caused by Measles. Dr. Miles* Restorative Tonic and Nervine Cured After Thirty-one Years. *1 wa/a perfectly healthy young man up to February 1865. When my regiment waa in Camp Randall I was taken sick with the measles and I did not enjoy good health up to the time I used Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine and Tonic in 1896. Doctors have told me it came from inactivity of the liver. I cannot say how many physicians did treat me but have had all kinds. Dieting has never helped me. Biliousness, attacks of headache, rheumatism, nasal catarh, hay fever, asthma, and chronic diarrhoea; have all taken their turn with-me. Thanks to the Nervine and Tonic I am completely restored to health. I have also used Dr. Miles’ AntiPain Pills with good results and I think that the Dr. Miles Remedies are perfect’—Rev. Hiram Bender, Sparta, Wis. « “I want to say a tew good words for Dr. Miles* Restorative Nervine. I have been troubled very much with insoasnia since I made the change to the new paper and on account of this nave tried various remedies without relief. I was finally induced by a wholesale druggist, a personal friend ol mine, to try Nervine. I can assure you it has done me a lot of good. Ido not find it necessary to use it regularly now but occasionally when I find that I am excessively nervous and restless I again take it up as I always keep a supply on hand. It has never failed to give me the desired relief.”—A. Huegin, Publisher “Daily Free-Press" Milwaukee, Wis. AU druggists seU and guarantee first bottle Dr. Mfles’Remedies.

AUTUMN POULTRY SHOW.

That at Ind tana State Fair to be of National Scope* The most important poultry show to be held in America this year will be that at the Indiana State Fair, the week of September 14. In addition to what the State Board of Agriculture is doing for it, the American Poultry Association will hold its annual meeting in connection with the show. Its grounds will be on the State Fair grounds on September 16, and each session will open to Indiana farmers and poultry raisers without extra charge. Under the premiun list offered by the Fair management, it will be posible for hundreds of poultry raisers to win premiums. The number of prizes to be awarded will be 859, or three in each class. The premiun list has been made up with the particular idea in view of arranging classes for poultry that is raised in Indiana. While there may be considerable competition from other States, drawn to Indianapolis by the meeting of the American Poultry Association, the premiuns will be all the more valuable to Indiana men who win them. The poultry exhibt at the State Fair will be under the direction of Sid Conger, of Shelbyville, who is regarded as one of the highest authorities on poultry in the country.

An exchange wants to know what Would be thought of a man that would have his pants made from sixteen to twenty inches longer than his legs and then go a round holding them up to keep them from trailing in the mud and filth. He would probably be considered crazy. But where does the comparison come in? We don’t know of any women who do this.

WOMEN WHO POSE.

The Secrecy That la Maintained Byy Artiata About Their Modela. Every artist keeps In his studio little book that he guards most sacredly. It contains his list of models. In some art studios of New York the “model book” contains 500 names of men and women who earn their living by posing. The betrayal of a single - name by the artist would injure his reputation with the craft and make it difficult for him to employ the better class of models.

The chief reason for this secrecy is the fact that the outside world is prone to look askance at professional models. Most of them, however, are perfectly modest and good women, whose business, though apparently violating the letter of morality, preserves its spirit. In fact, behind the model's professional career is little but the commonplace:

American models are characterizedby the same qualities of self respect and independence as American art. The principal fault artists and illustrator® find with them is their lack of expression, but for beautiful figures and perfect features they are unexcelled. The best models In the world are found in France and America, where the most general, intelligence prevails In the class from which they chieflycome. In America many of them belong to middle class families who havemet reverses.

He Had Followed Directions.

A little black boy sat on the soap' lx>x which served as a front step to the tumble down shanty. His skin was more than black. Here and there* It looked as if it bad been varnished.' His fingers clung together when he attempted to open his hands, and films; of silky sweetness were spun about him as he threw back his head and opened his mouth in epicurean ecstasy. Household Words explains this happy condition:

“Goodness, law!” exclaimed the old' mammy, who came suddenly round the corner. “What yo' sittin’ dat a-way for when I jes’ been tryin’ to clean yo F up? Es yo’ ain’ went an’ molassed yo’se’f f’m head to foot!” “Dat ain’ ’lasses, mammy.” “Whut’s de use o’ tryin’ ter makeyo’ look ’spectable, ’d like ter know? I wash yo’ an’ dress yo’, an’ den I tells yo* ter go an’ use de comb, didn’t I?” “Yes’m. An’ I look aroun’, an’ ail de comb I could fin’ was dis yere honeycomb. But I don use dat, mammy?. I sho’ly did.”

The Wonders of Color.

A small and simple experiment can. be tried by any reader which will go far to convince him or her what a debt we owe to color and what a good thing it is we have sunlight, which enables our eyes to take advantage of the beautiful hues of nature. Make a room quite dark and then burn some carbonate of soda In the flame of a bunsen gas burner. It will burn with an orange yellow light sufficiently strong to illuminate everything in the room, but you will realize with a sudden shock that, bright though the light is, all distinctions of color have vanished. Only light and shade remain. A crimson carnation, a blue violet, a red tablecloth, a yellow blind—all look gray or black or white. The faces of those present look positively repulsive, for all natural color has disappeared. No other experiment will so well con- • vlnce those who have witnessed it how great a loss would be that of our sense for color.

Friends and Relativee.

“So the poor fellow’s dead?” “¥es, and he left all his money to Charity. His funeral was very largely attended.” “Ab, yes, he had lots of friends; t don’t suppose he had any enemies at all.” “Ob, yes, a few; he had several relatires.”—Philadelphia Ledger.
