Punctuation in Signs.

A sign painter of this town has de-
clared war against the unsightly
punctuation marks which custom re-
quires to be put on all business signs.
The custom, he says, is absurd, haV-
ing nothing to support it but super
anuated idea which is founded on d
misconception of the rules of the Ian
guage.
"Of course l know" said he, "that
the meaning OF sentence is some
times radically changed by leaving
out punctuation mark or by mis-
placing it. but a business sign is an
expression, not sentence, it l may
put it that way, and in most of them
commas, colons and periods are abso-
lutely useless. What harm do they
do? No particular harm, except
sometimes to utterly destroy the
beauty aud symmetry of sign and
that is something. Here, look at
this"
The painter took a pencil and .
scrap of paper and rapidly sketched
the following.

"Nasal Voices, Catarrh and
False Teeth"

A prominent English woman says
The American women have high,
shrill, nasal voices aud false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twitting they get about this nasal
twang, and vet it is fact caused by
our dry stimulating atmosphere, and
the universal presence OF catarf hal
difficulties.
But why should 80 many of our
women have false teeth?
That is more of poser to the En-
glish 1t is quite impossible to ac.
count for il except on the theory OF
deranged stomach action caused by
imprudence in eating and by want OF
regular exercise,
Both conditions are unnatural
Catarrhal troubles every ywhere'pre-
vail and end in cough and consump.
tion, which are promoted by mai-nu-
triton induced by deranged stomacn
action. The condition is modern
one, one unknown to our ancestors
who prevented the catarrh cold, cough
and consumption by abundant and
regular use of what is now known as
Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con
sumption Remedy and Log CABIN
Sarsaparilla, two cid fashioned stand
ard remedies handed down from our
ancestors, and now exclusively put
forth under the strongest guarantees
of purity and efficacy by the world
famed maker of Warmers safe cure.
These two remedies plentifully used
as the spring and summer seasons ad.
vance give positive assurance OF
freedom, both from catarrh and those
dreadful and if neglected, inevitable
conse sequences, pneumonia, lung trou-
bles and consumption, which so gener-
ally and fatally prevail among cur
people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem,
Henry Co, Iowa, served four years
in the late war and CONTRACTED dis

boldness and determination the women

library, when they sounded his praise.
though it might be in some degree OK
aggcrated. John Stuart Mill regarded the
Institution of marriage in its highest aim
and aspect as "a union of two persons of
cultivated faculties, identical in opinion
and purposes, between whom there exists
that best kind of equality, similarity of
powers with reciprocal superiority in
them, so that one can enjoy the luxury of
Looking up to the other and can have al
t~grnatcly tho pleasure of leading and
being led in the path of development"
But other mon of genius nave thought
differently on the subject. 1t is an oft
quoted saying of DIR. johnson that "a man
in general Is better pleased when he has a
good dinner on the table thar when his
wife talks Greek" Racine had an Tilt
crate wife and was accustomed to boast

constantInopIe's MussuIman Cemeteries.


at Constantinople the big Mussulman
cemeteries are sights that every visitor
goes to see From the comprehensive
outlook of the Sarada or Galata Tower a
panoramic view of the city embraces for
ests of dark cypress here and there The
black masses of woodland stretch along
the Golden Horn and encompass the city
on every hand. They are the famous cy-
press graveyards of the Ottoman capital
and well worth visiting. as nothing ike
them is TO be seen elsewhere. These Gem
eteries may best be described as dense
forests Of cypress trees and tombstones-
tangled masses of graves and trees. The
Expresses nave grown to enormous pro-
portions and the dense, dark foliage forms
a ceiling through which the sunshine pen
etrates only in streaks. The cathedral
isles of the trunks and the tablets of the
dead are bathed in twilight all day. On
moonlight nights the dark cypress ceme-
teries are weird pictures indeed.
The Constantinople headstone Is a rude
representation of the human form, with
a fez or turban chiseled on the top, so
that on these moonlight nights they may
well be taken for crowds of ghosts. In
these Constantinople cemeteries, too, one
may read a rare essay on natural econ
omies. Whence comes the remarkable
vigor and thrifty appearance of those
thousands and hundreds of thousands OF
huge cypresses2 The other hills and va
cant areas round about them are barren,
and trees planted thereon and left to take
care of themselves would hardly survive.
Whence, then, como tho giant growth and
the dark, almost black, glossy foliage of
the Cemetery forests2 The Turkish GUS
tom of browning their gravestones with n
representation OF the read dress worn by
the departed during life furnishes u ready
index to the age of the grave, apart from
the epitaph.
Side by side n sees in he CONSTANT
nople cemeteries the huge turban of the
time of Mahmud ii and the modern fez,
the former still a mass of gilt. the latter
painted red. But tho most impressive
feature of the cypress cemeteries, and
that which appeals particularly to the i'm
ngination of the western visitor, is the
way the he~adstones are crowded together.
In spots they are literally placed as thick
as they can stand, a mass of upright slabs
through which one could hardly force a
path. In other places they arc toppled
over md lie. like fallen sticks of timber,
one over another. Tho dead of different
periods must nave been buried one on top
OF another and new bodies wedged in
whenever enough soil was found to cover
them up.-Themas Stevens in Chicago

Progress of tho ChIppowas.

Twenty-Five Chippowas nave gone back
from the House of tho Good Shepherd,
Denver, Colo. to their parents in northern
Dakota. after finishing q three years
curse of study at the institution, and
thirty more have just arrived to be intro,
duced to civilization. The parents of the
girls who AVE gone homo are very proud
that their daughters have been taught to
read and write and have learned many
things concerning the ways of tho pale
faces. The first thing that the educated
little Indian maid does is TO transform the
lodge Of filth into one that Is neat and
tidy, and as homelike as 1t can become
under the circumstances. By degrees the
parents fall into tho habits OF their
daughters, first attracted by curiosity and
finally realizing that civilized ways are
fully as comfortable as their own bar
barous customs.-Boston Transcript.

COMFORT Under The waIstband.

The call of the stomach must be an.
swered even at the cost OF subsequent
discomfort. How to make digestion a
regular sequence of the satisfaction of
appetite SO long baffled the medical in
vestigation that it was almost gwen up in
despair, and dyspepsia viewed as well nigh
incuFable. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
came to the rescue of the dyspeptic, and
upset the theory of incurability. If it be
used with persistence, and ommon sense
in diet be not constantly violated, the
Bitters will most certainly restore
vigor and tranquility to the
stomach and constant regularity in Its
digestive functions. The dyspeptic who
uses it systematically soon ceases to suffer
after dinner penalties, and enjoys com
fort under the waistband between meals.
A benefcent change, truly, and one that
is aided by a sedulous avoidance of indis-
erection in eating and drinking. Constipa-
ton, biliousness, nervousness, malaria.
kidney troubles and debility are easily
remediable with this fine restorative.
