COPPER BRAnS IN SHOES.

How Man Restore. .-.hself to a Healthy
Condition.
"Do you see the large copper brads in
the sole of my shoe?" asked gentleman
as he held up to view the sole of one of
his shoes. On being answered in the
affirmative he said: "To these simple
brads alone 1 attribute my present good
health. For years 1 was an invalid,
subject to dyspepsia, neuralgia. head
ache and other innumerable pains, and
travelled the country over in search of
health. In travelling out West among
the Indian tribes / was struck with
their remarkable health, and especially
their exemption from the maladies that
afflicted me and also with the fact that
the strongest and healthiest went bare
footed altogether. l sought an expla-
nation of the matter and by continued
observation and study was finally led to
the conclusion that these aches and pains
to which civilized man is heir is owing
TO the manner in which we insolate
our bodies from Mother Earth. Science
is every day more clearly demonstrating
that electricity is the vitalizing con-
SGlIucuG Vi our DOQloS anu CQaU UQ1S
globe of ours is mighty battery, con-
tinually generating and discharging
electricity. Now, 1 reasoned, if this
was correct the secret of the Indians
health was in his bare feet, which ex-
posed his whole body to the vitalizing
influence of the electrical earth cur
rents; while my i'll health was attributed
to my feet being isolated from these
currents. Acting on the hypothesis !
sought to restore the broken connection
by inserting these brads in the soles of
my shoes, and the result, 1 must say,
was astonishing. My feet, which
formerly were nearly always cold, soon
became warm and moist; my health
commenced shortly to improve, and in
few months 1 was entirely relieved of
all my pains, and have ever since en-
joyed good health. 1t is very simple
thing and .asli.J tested and 1 feel sure
would benefit any one afflicted as 1 was"

A Confusion of Tongues.

The prohibition of the use of the Ger
man language in the courts of the Baltic
provinces by the Russian Government
has created great confusion of tongues.
The majority of the population on the
Russian side of the Baltic knows little
or no Russian at all, and the scenes in
the courts, where the peasants seeking
justice and the lawyers pleading their
clients cases are unable to communicate
their grievances to the learned Judge
who knows no German, are any thing
but pleasing for those concerned. One
barrister, on being required to sign an
oath, demanded that he might be al
lowed to study the document with the
aid of dictionary before he put his
name to it. This request, however, was
denied as ''unseemly and impudent."
The judges themselves are in an
awkward plight, being ordered to go to
the Baltic provinces from their posts in
other parts of Russia, sometimes at only
a moments notice, and there seems to
be as complete chaos as is possible

SHOOTING A DECOY,
A Clever Trick That Was Played on a Jok
ing SDOrtsman

A Clever Trick That Was Played ON q Jok-
ing Sportsman.
am reminded of rather good warn
L have been promising for some time to
spin. The joke is on irst-class all
around sportsman, and jolly good fell
low he is, too, ready for any thing from
an early morning start and wait on the
bay for chance at the ducks to an all-day
tramp in the backwoods after the wilv
fox. He is practical joker as we'll as
sportsman, and is always ready to
work off 'rig" on the boys, so we were
all unusually hilarious when at last he
had to succumb and own himself out
witted. He had gotten the best of me
on several occasions, and many a minute
had 1 given to concocting plans for get
ting even.
At last my chance came, and in this
way: Out on cunning trip 1 had the
good fortune to shoot superb fresh
water shell-drake, and when I went
home 1 said nothing to Lucien, but be-.
gan to perfect scheme that took shape
In my mind almost as soon as nv bird
dropped. Lucien lived on the banks of
pond i'll which ducks would now and
then light, and he always had his gun
ready. l carefully skinned nv bird,
stretched the skin over wooden decov
In as life-like manner as possible, and
then began to think how best to make
it seem alive. My device was merely to
tasten one end of line to the decoy un-
der the breast and lead it through 4
ring in stone sunk to the bottom of
the pond and from there to some bushes
up on high bank.
All being arranged took my position,
and one of the men went to the shop
just below the dam and told Lu to hurry
up and get his gun to shoot the queer
looking bird that had just lit there. Lu
was at first suspicious, but finally went
up to take look. The bird was moving
around, ducking, etc., in such evident
life and spirits that Lucien was, for
once at least, completely taken in. He
lodged down behind the dam, crept care
fully to his cabin, got his gun, and as
stealthily crept back. Reaching the
right spot, up he came, looked over to
reconnoiter, and being entirely con-
WINGED banged away. How the feathers
did fly! and how we all shouted. and
how disguised Lu looked, 1 will leave to
your observation-disclosures and Stream.

this country an Englishman says: ''The

more. When local Liverpool man

A GIRLS INFLUENCE.
How Feminine Beauty Is Utilized In the
Pulling of Teeth.
"When mans afraid,

PULLING OF IecCns
"When a mans afraid,
A beautiful maid
Is charming sight to see."
That is what you heard the maiden
sing in ''The Mikado." She was telling
about capital punishment which she
had witnessed and her declaration that
the doomed man just before losing his
head gazed upon her pretty face for
courage was always taken as a Gilbert
fantasy. But the idea is actually put
into practical use in the largest New
York establishments where teeth are
extracted under laughing-gas. 1 have
been there two or three times and have
watched this feature of the business
with amused interest. Now, as you NAV
readily know, laughing-gas renders the
patient ObliviOus but not insensible. He
feels all that is done to him and often
makes lot of fuss about it, but upon
awakening he can recall nothing that
has happened. 1t is when the mans
afraid" that the beautiful maid" is
placed before him as charming sight
to see." In other words, while the
strong-armed dentist stands at one
side of the victims chair with
the gas-bag ready for him to
breathe out of, girl wi h an amiable,
pretty face takes position close to the
opposite arm. She gazes sympathet-
ically yet smilingly into his face She
isn't coquettish about it. 1t may be de-
scribed as a sort of cousinly smile-that
is, somewhere between sisterly grin
and an ogle, with no tie of consanguin-
ity in it. AS the man breathes in the
gas and loses his senses the last fading
vision is that of the girls encouraging
face. The practical value of this device
lies in the fact-and have this on the
authority of the boss of the place-that
a goodly proportion of the patients
would become obstreperous and violent
while under the influence of the gas but
for the effect of the girls presence.
That may seem like nonsense, but in
practice it proves to be good sense
When the man awakens he finds his
guardian angel is still there, and he de-
parts feeling, 1 suppose, that she has
taken a deep and poignant interest in
his particular case.-N. Y. Cor. Boston

CALF OTNIA'S POVERTY,
How 1t Was Impressed on the Mind O
an Arizona Pioneer.

How 1t Was Impressed on the Mind of
an Arizona Pioneer.
Odd Judge McCorkle, of Arizona, when
he left that land of legends, pueblos,
celia monsters" and gold, took with
him large quantity of the latter. He
sold a mine for something over $500, 900.
With this fortune the "Jedge" repaired
to ''the Bay" as San Francisco is called
throughout the coast, there to spend the
rest of his days in comfort. Having
wholesome distrust of banks, acquired
from his experience of them in Arizona,
the Judge placed his coin in the safe de-
post vaults, and has ever since lived on
his principal, drawing on the original
stock of twenty-dollar pieces there when
ever his purse runs low. When the
Judge first came to San Francisco he was
some what dazed by the rush and whirl
of even that not too densely populated
city. But with true provincial pride he
determined to conceal his feelings. 1t
was this frontier hauteur which actu-
ated his retort in the following dia-
logue: The Judge entered the break
fast-room in one of the large hotels the
morning after his arrival in San Fran
cisco. The waiter presented to him that
long and involved document from which
Americans chart out the morning meal.
The Judge regarded it apprehensively
and said: ''Young man, gimme some
fryoIes.' "Beg pardon, sir?" 'You
don't speak no Spanish, hay? Well,
gimme some BEANS" every sorry, sir,
butwe do not serve beans at breakfast,
SIR" "You don't, hay?" remarked the
Judge sarcastically; ''you don't give no
beans for breakfast? Young man." and
the Judge lowered his rich alcoholic
bass to an impressive murmur, young
man, l come from Arizoney, the poorest
kentry on this here yearth; but even in
Arizoney We git beans three times
day!'-San Francisco Argonaut.
