A BLUE,GLAss EXPERIMBN

Mr.. Blimley read about blue
glass until he became a convert
to the doctrine. Having boy
baby about three months old who
has been somewhat puny and has
given evidence of weak lungs, he
had an east window Of his house
paned with blue glass and exposed
him to the suns rays for an hour
or two for several days. Last
Sunday being a sunny day, the
BABY was left under the blue win
dow for three hours, at the con-
clusion Of which time he got up
and went down stairs, declaring
that he had bad enough of that
"doggoned foolishness.' On Mon
day he was exposed for four hours.
AT IL o'clock en- Monday night
he threw his off-foot into Mr.,
Blimley's stomach, and knocked
the lower portion Of Mrs. Bllm-
ley's chin Off with his right fist.

Of times and every coal consumer

A Boys COMPOSITION ON GIRLS

A BOYS COMPOSITION ON GIRLS
Girls is @ queer kind of tarmint.
Girls is the only thing that has
their own way every time. Girls
is several thousand kinds, land some
times one girl can be like several
thousand other girls, if she wants
you to do anything. Girls is all
alike one way; they are all like
cats. If you rub EN- the right
way of the hair they'll purr and
look sweet at you, but if you rub
EN- the wrong way, or step on
their tails, they'll claw you. S'long
as you let a girl have her own way
she's nice and sweet; but just
cross her, and she'll spit at you
worse moi cat. Girls is all like
miles; they're headstrong. If a
girl don't want to believe anything
you can It make her. If SHE knows
it SO she won't say 80. Girls is
like women. if they re good; and
If they amt good then nor when
they get big, they're she devils.
That's what father said mamma
was once, when she fixed a hot
flat-iron in the chair so he'd set
down on it, cause she was mad at
him. Brother Joe says he don't
like big girls, but he does like
little ones; and when | saw him
kissing Jennie Jones last Sunday,
and told him what he'd said, ne
said be was biting her cause he
didn't like her. think he hurt
her, for she hollered and run; and
there was a big red spot over both
of her cheeks. This is all | know
about girls, and father says the
less ! know about EN- the better
off I am.

Americans, like Ortogral of Basra, desire
that the golden stream should be sudden
and violent, and in their anxiety to acquire
wealth, overwhelm themselves with the
cares of business, until their Overtaxed sys-
TENS are broken down under the pressure to
which they are subjected. This is one pro-
life cause of nervous diseases 80 common in
this country. Another and probably agreater
one is the very general propensity to run
into excess in excitement and the use OF
Liquors and Tobacco, which soon ruin the
strongest nervous organizations. Such suf-
erers have more difficulty in obtaining re-
lief than almost any other class. DR. RAD

tions, no matter how they were incurred.

The senseless and ill-timed travesty

Thursday night. 1t was the act of a few
