"They have q strange new kind Of gas

at is somewhat on the principle of these
chewing gum boxes at the centennial, where
YOU drop a nickel in the slit and a stick Of
gum is measured out to you. In this meter
YOU drop certain number of pennies in a
box and then that amount Of gus is at your
service. If you want more gas another sou

economical in France and so many of them

such meter just fills the bill There is such
a large, floating population that if the gas
companies were not thus paid day by day for
the Illumination furnished they might find it
hard to find any one at the end of month to

"Going to try that kind of meter hereT
Cant tell; still, do not think we want
such thing just yet in America But it
wouldn't be bad thing in some ways" and

THE SAVAGE WAY.
How the Indian Treats an injury
Old Time Methods.

OAu INV AAN sAA0eef
The savage is emphatically the child
of nature He lives close to nature; his
only education is gained in natures
school.
When the Indian receives an injury, he
does not seek q cure in mineral poisons,
but binds on the simple leaf, administers
the herbal tea, and. with natures aid,
comes natural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors who pierced the
wilderness, built their uncouth but CON-
Portable log cabins and started the clear
ings in the woods, which in time became
the broad, fertile fields of the modern
farmer, found in roots and herbs that lay
close at hand natures potent remedies for
all their common ailments. 1t was only
in very serious cases they sent for old
saddle bags with his physic, which
quite as often killed as cured.
Latter day society has wandered too
far away from nature, in every way. for
its own good. Our grandfsthers and
grandmothers lived wholesomer purer,
better, healthier, more natural lives than
we do. Their minds were not filed with
nOxlOus lSnlS, nor lnelr DouleS sdturateu
with poisonous drugs.
Is 1t not time TO make a change, TO re-
turn to the simple vegetable preparations
of our grandmothers which contained the
power and potency of nature as remedial
agents, and in all the ordinary ailments
were efficscious, at least harmless?
The proprietors of Warmers Log Cabin
remedies have thought so, and have put
on the market number of these pure
vegetable preparations, made from form
| ulas secured after patient searching into
the annals of the past, so that those who
want them need not be without them.
Among these log cabin remedies will
be found LOG Cabin Sarsaparilla," for
the blood; Log Cabin hops and buchu
remedy" tonic and stomach remedy;
Log Cabin cough and consumption
remedy" Log Cabin hair tonic" fol-
Strengthening and renewing the hair
Log Cabin extract. for both external
and internal application; Log Cabin
liver pills; Log Cabin rose cream" an
old but effective remedy for cstarrh, and
LOG Cabin plasters." All these RENE
dies are carefully prepared from recipes
which were found. after long investiga'
ton, to have been those most successfully
used by our grandmolhers of We olden
time. They are the simple, vegetable
efficscious remedies of log cabin days.

Early in the present century infanticide
was suppressed by the Ang!o-Indan govern
ment, and sati was also abolished in 1922.
Since that time any one accused of commit
ting the one or abetting the other has been
prosecuted as n murderer. Sati was more
easily put down than infanticide The in
terror of the zanana is so private that crimes
are sometimes committed there that never
come to light. Indeed, child murder is un-
doubtedly perpetrated often at the present
day

Near sighted, small or blinking eyes should
have special treatment, the first care being
never to expose them to trying light. Small
bonnets and front light pouring into the face
from window or lamp are responsible for the
inferior, peering, uncertain eyes which
abound, To enlarge the eye and to give it
noble steadiness of glance it must be rem
dered strong and the general health i'm
proved. Dyspepsia ueaksrs the eyes, and
good treatment for this is ''Gquid food" for
six weeks, with coarse toasted crackers, meat
broths, and grape juice or lemonade if it can
be borne. The use Of grapes, IONS, and
sub rosa, of garlic and onions, liz great eff
feet on the eve. Tuscan and provencals,
indeed all southern nations, owe their
smooth skins, rich hair, and large liquid eyes
TO their diet of fruits, light wine, olive oil
and the great regulating food, onions and to-
matoes. Chilly surroundings contract the
eyes with the rest Of the flesh and injure ex-
! preston,
Weak eyes and disordered stomach or kid
neys exist together, and these must be set
/ right before the eyes are good. The cool
| douche across the loins and constant use Of
green parsley are the best remedies. A jet
of weak salt water-a teaspoonful of salt to
/ a half pint Of water-playing on the eyelid
or spraying the closed eye with vaporizar,
strengthens and enlarges the eye. Holding
the eyelids apart at the corners with thumb
and finger will enlarge the size of the eye in
time, being careful not to fret or inhame it.

every one with small, inferior looking eyes.

A professor in an Eastern college had in
his botany class young japanese, who was
very much interested in the science One
day the professor was lecturing on the sub
ject of termination, and the food matter of
the plant, and tod the class that if they
mixed flour and water, the water poured off
would be white while the sediment remain
ing was brown and glutinous, thHt the water
tested with iodine would turn blue, proving
that it contained starch, and he asked the
japanese student, lisa Tetsuka, to perform
the experiment before the class at the next
recitation.
The day following, however, Issa came to
the class room with very troubled expires
sion on his face and said that the experiment
was not satisfactory. When the professor
investigated the matter he was amused to
find that the Japanese had misunderstood
him, and in place of some four had taken
some fower''-viz, bunch of geraniums
squeezed them up in the water, and
poured in iodine, then being very much dis
appointed because the water did not turn
blue.-Dctrot Free Press.

Whittier so fast with your two white saiis,
o fair little craft of the high seaY
Where do you go when the sunlight pales,
And it's dark on your trackless high scar
DO tiretiies furnish you beacon lights
When, soft as the sigh of babe, you wait
From yellow moons to the moon shod nights
beautiful, fairly like, elfin craftS
So fair, so perfect, so light, so free,
flower of the air almost one knows
The symbol of your immortality,
For surely you are the soul of the rose.

Writing on ''Dress and Economy" Mrs
Henry Reeve gives us some very remarkable
"facts and figures and other data for tho
construction of scale of expenditure and OF
ratio to income of the cost of clothes.n The
writer has evidently been at much pains to
collect these facts, etc, from various in
formants, and though these latter often pre-
fer to give the house rent they pay rather
than the income they possess, their informa-
ton is surprising enough. One lady. who
has 'snall income of eS00 a year. finds
$50 enough for her dress Another who,
with her husband, enjoys an income of
el,500 mo children spends only ESQ on her
dress, while her husbands averages e26 los.
per annum- Again, a professional man with
''f2, 900 a year to spend, gives his two daugh-
tiers $40 year for dress, and gentleman
who shoots, plays tennis, mixes in the best
society in town and country, and travels on
the continent spends only cog a year on
his raiment. Finally, an inquiry among
twenty eight bachelors Including members
of parliament, civil wants, barristers and
country squiresl shows maximum expendi
ture of e34 and q minimum of el4, or an
average of e23 year, spent on dress
