OF Days

Thousands and thousands men and women
have their off days-they are not sick enough to
give up, relinquish their duties and go to bed,
but as one describes it:
ct feel 80 drowsy and weary-my headaches"
81 never did have meaner feeling in my life"
''My stomach does not feel right
t'Don't know what is the matter with me, but
do not feel we'll"
sThave half feeling of nausea
s'Too cold one minute and too warm the next
''To use slang phrase, I'm all broke up"
The above and hundreds of similar express
sions are heard daily, with some there is diff
ferent cause, others cannot account for the feel
ing. Itmay originate from different reasons, but
from whatever cause, nature requires assistance
and you can Immediately render the assistance

using Burdock Blood Bitters take them imme-
diately on the appearance of the unpleasant feel
ing.

London Truth remarks that Nellie
went to see Oscar Wilde's wedding,
and was immensely amused, on arriving
at the church est. Jamse's, Sussex Gar
dens), to find that the bridegroom had
given orders thae none should be adj
mitted unless they had his card. Of
course, it was quite right that certain
portion of the church should be set apart
at weddings for the friends of the bride
and bridegroom: but for a man to issue
his commands as to who shall and who
shall not, be admitted to public place
of worship is little too ridiculous.
Nellie got in, however. notwithstanding
her being unprovided with Mr.. Oscar
Wilde's visiting card. She says the
brides dress was pretty, chiefly on ac-
count of its perfect simplicity, Her
veil was peculiar, being of gauze or
open-meshed spun silk, or something
unusual. The bridesmaids harmonies
Of terracotta and primrose were spoiled
by white hats and feathers. Nellie says
ii was the funniest thing IN the world
to see the contracting parties and the

during the ceremony. Fancy man

concerted arrangement. The BRIDES

Cupid in the Court Room.

A late occurrence in German court
of Justice points out to women a new
method of accomplishing her destiny.
Every lawyer knows the advantage to
his cause of bringing his client into
court, if she is handsome. graceful, in
teresting, and, above all, if she has COM
mand of tears. Many verdict has been
gained rather by pair of beseeching
eyes or a dropping figure than by any
argument. High damages for breach
of promise, divorce from an irksome
husband, acquittal from probable char
ges, have all been gained by women in
the court room; but did any one ever
win husband? This is what happened
to German girl. She was on trial for
child murder. She was acquitted from
this charge, but was condemned for
some trifing infraction of the law to a
few weeks imprisonment. During the
trial one of the jury, well-to- do burgh-
er, who had been unable to keep his
eyes off her. On her release he met her
at the prison door, requested and OBJ

Mormons Still Coming.

Twenty-Five Mormon missionaries,
with sol converts-4O1 Scandinavians
and 100 English-arrived at New York
by the steamship Arizona en- route to
Salt Lake City, under charge of Chief
Elder G. II. Nye. AS the steamer
reached the dock, roll call was held,
and each elder was detailed to his
respective post. The young women
looked listless as the elders rushed in
among them, giving orders. Elder Nye
said:
The converts bring are not all recent
accessions, some having been members
of the church over thirty years, who
through lack of means Or other causes
have been unable to come here. I am
now going back to Utah to remain there,
and within shori time of our arrival a
further relay of elders will be sent to
Europe to keep up the work. consid-
er that have been very successful.
Referring to the arrest of Mormon
missionaries in Vienna, Mr.. Nye says: II
do not contemplate any serious outcome
from it."

Regularity of Habit.
From the St Louis Republican.

One of the most difficult of all the
minor habits to acquire is that of regu-
larity. It ranks with that of order
"a place for everything and everything
in its place" is not more important than
q time for all things, and everything
on time" The natural inclination Of
most persons is to defer until the last
possible moment, or to put it off till an
other time where this can possibly be
done. Yet habits of regularity contri-
butte largely to the ease and comfort Of
life. A person can multiply his effici-
ency by it. We know persons who have
multitude of duties, and who perform
vast deal of work daily, who set apart
certain hours for given duties, and are
there at the moment and attend rigidly
to what is in hand. This done and
other engagements are met, each in
order, and vast deal accomplished,
not by strained exertion but by regu-
larity.
The mind can be so trained to this at
certain hours in the day it will turn to
a particular line of duty, and at other
shours to other and different labors.
The very diversity is restful, when at
tended to in regular order. But let these
be run together, and the duties mixed,
and what before was easy is now annoy
ing and oppressive And the exact diff
ference between many is just at this
point. There are those who confuse
and rush and attempt to do several
things at once and accomplish little,
while another will quietly proceed from
one duty to another, and easily accom-
plish a vast amount of work The diff
ference is not in the capacity Of the two
but in the regular methods Of the one,
as compared with the irregular and
confused habits fths other. -Philadel-

How it Was Done.

Frugal as the Scotch are, they could
learn something in the art of saving
from the french. The ordinary waste
fulness of an American kitchen throws
away that which would almost feed a
French family. For in France every
housekeeper is taught the art of making
much out Of little An American lady,
soiourning in the French province of
AuverreS, says:
II am simply astonished at the num-
Der of good, wholesome dishes which
nv friend here makes for her table from
things which at home I always threw
away. Dainty little dishes from scraps
of cold meat, from hard crusts of bread
delicately prepared and seasoned, from
almost everything and nothing. And yet
there is no feeling of stinginess or want
It is only the French housekeeper's hor-
ror of wasting anything.
II wish my countrywomen might take
pattern sfter them. It would lesson many
useless expense for the table"
Here and there in New England a
family may be found who practice a
similar econ omy. A gentleman who
dined with one of these families was
treated to soup SO excellent that he
asked the hostess how it was done.
Brushing, she answered with a
laugh, eve call it 'ox-head' soup. You
see, can buy at the market an infer

head of the animal at the time of slaugh-
terine, and is sometimes thrown away.

The sequel of the fatal love affair of
a federal prisoner named Capt. Raph-
ael Livingston, who was prisoner in
one of the confederate prisons at Sails
bury, N. c., during the late war, has
just come to light. During the last
year of war Livingston, through the aid
of pretty girl, managed to effect his
escape. He was given shelter by his
fair friend and remained in his hiding
place for day and night. Fearing
capture by the confederate prison au-
thorities, the escaped soldier made his
way on foot through the mountains in
the western part of the state. After
many trials and much suffering he
reached Wilkes county, one of the re-
mote counties of that section. Then he
was lucky enough to meet Miss Rose
Austin, who interested herself in him
and assisted him in eluding the con-
federate officers in her neighborhood.
The handsome young captain made a
deep impression upon Miss Austin and
a mutual understanding and an en-
gagement of marriage was the result.
Miss Austin managed to render
such assistance to her lover that
he got through the southern lines and
made his way to his home in New York.
In 1867, two years after the close of the
ryar, Livingston returned to Wilkes
county to claim his bride. During the
intervening years Charles Bird, ayoung
farmer in the neighborhood and an old
admirer of Miss Austin, had come be-
tween them and gained the girls atfee-
tions. Soon after the young captains
disappearance in Wilkes he one day
suddenly disappeared without leaving
any clue to his whereabouts. Bird and
Miss Austin were soon afterward mar
ried, and the romance of the federal Of
ticer passed out of the minds of the
Wilkes county people. 1t was revived
Wednesday night by a quarrel between
Bird and his wife, in which the latter
informed one of the neighbors that Bird
and two other men shot and killed
Livingston and buried his body in a
piece of woods. A negro, who is al
legged to have participated, corroborated
the wife's story. All of the accused
men were arrested and committed to
Jail in Wilkes county to await an examin-
alton upon the charge. The case at
tracts intense interest in that section,
where all are known, and where the
missing federal officer was great

The discussion of the Mexican pension bill In
the senate brought out some queer statistics
about the pensioners of the war of 1912 That
war was ended nearly seventy years ago, ana
the number of troops engaged in it was not
remarkable, yet to-day there are actually 81
coo pensioners on the roll, as widows of that
war. They drew last year 81 ,SS2 600, or five
and half times as much as the few old soldiers
surviving OF course, the explanation is that
an warriors half century or so after the war
was over and they became entitled to their
pensions in due time, when their husbands
died. Thus it is not impossible that in the
twentieth century greater part of the 81 600
widows will still be drawing pensions on &C
count the war of 1872.
