do you see these large copper brads
in the sole of my shoe?n asked gen.
tleman of the st. Louis Republics Man
About Town, as he held up to view the
sole of one of his shoes. On being
answered in the affirmative he said:
ITO these simple brads alone / attri-
butte my present good health. For
years [ was an invalid. subject to dys-
pepsia, neuralgia. headache, 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 remark
able health, and especially their eN-
emption from the maladies that affiict-
ed me and also with the fact that the
strongest and healthiest went bare
footed altogether. | sought an expla-
nation os the matter and by continued
observation and study was finally led
to the conclusion that the aches and
pains to which civilized man is heir are
owing to the manner in which we in
sulate our bodies from Mother Earth.
Science is every day more clearly de
monstrating that electricity is the
yitalizing constituent of our bodies and
that this globe of ours is mi lightly bat
terry, continually generating and dis
charging electricity. Now. | reasoned,
if this was correct the secret of the In
dams health was in his bare feet, which
exposed his whole body to the vitaliz-
ing influence of the electrical earth cur
rents; while my i'll health was attribut-
able to my feet being insulated from
these currents. Acting on this hyDothe-
sis / sought to restore the broken con-
nection by inserting these brads in the
soles of my shoes, and the result, 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 | was entirely relieved of
all my pains, and have ever since en-
loved good health. 1t is very simple
thing and easily tested, and | feel sure
would benefit any one afflicted as l
was.

An Interpolation in Hamlet"

George Fandenhoff used to tell of
Dick Hoskins. an English (provinciaD
COMEDIAN, who was an inyeterate prac-
tica! joker on the stage. When he
came in contact with a traoedian whose
pTetensi0ns exceeded his talents woe to
the unhappy subject of Hoskins' fun
All his tragedy was sure to be turned
into farce. One night Dick played
FIRST Grave-Digger to the Hamlet of Il
solemn and mysterious tragedian Of
the Observation-Disclosures school. The
comedians nose was in the air. The
theater in which they were playing
was built on the site of an old dissent
ing chapel in which preacher named
Banks had been wont to hold forth
aud in the small graveyard attached
to which he was buried. The play
moved along to the scene of Ophelia's
grave and Hamlet asked:
How long will a man lie i the earth
ere he rot?'
Dick proceeded in due course 10
illustrate his answer by Yorrick's skull,
and taking it up he said in the language
of the play:
Now here's a skull that hath lain
you in the earth three and twenty
years. Whose do you think it wasp
Nay, | know not replied Ham
let, in the most sepulchral tragedy
tones.
This skull, sir said Dick-pursu-
ing the text correctly to this point and
there making a sudden and most I'M
looked-for break-'that was DR.. Banks
skull"
OF course the house was in an up
roar. The yictimized tragedian stamp
ed and fumed and exclaimed in "a
blood-curdling whisper. ''Yorick's, sir,
1orick 81
No" replied Dick coolly, taking
up another skull, this is Yorick's
skull, the kings Jester; but t others
DR.. Banks, as | told YOU"
The curtain was rung down to an ac-
compartment of roaIs and shrieks of
laughter, in which king, queen, priest,
courtiers and all We're compelled to
Join.

How to Sharpen a Pencil.

ut really makes me tired to see the
average man sharpen a pencil, said
an old newspaper man in stationary
store TO Washington Star reporter.
He will cut his fingers. cover them
with dirt and blacken them with lead
dust. and still will not sharpen the
PENCIL.
There is but one way to sharpen a
lead pencil and that is to grasp it firm
IL with the point from and not toward
you Take your knife in the other hand
and white away rs though You had
lots of pencils TO waste. By following
these directions and turning the pencil
over YOU will soon have it neatly and
regularly sharpened, and your fingers
viii be unSoiied and YOU will not need
any court plaster to put on the wounds
Because yon cannot cut your fingers
when whiting from them.
...his method i the best. whether
the knife is dali or sharp. II the PEN
eli is a soft one there is no sense in
sharpening the lead. Simply cut
away the wood, and in writing turn the
pencil over, thus writing with the sides
OF the lead.
Another disgusting and senseless
habit IS in placing the pencil in the
mouth when writing. This is relic
Of the days when pencils were as hard
as flint and before the manufacturers
were able to produce the smooth. soft
pencils that are used to-day. The con-
tinual dampening of the lead will
harden even a good graphite pencil
and make it hard and gritty. 1t is
simply a habit. any way, and most
habits are bad ones

the Famous Preacher.

never write OF speak to woman,
says DR.. Talmage in the LadieS' Home
Journal, but my mind wanders off to
one model-the aged one who, twenty
four years ago, we put away for the
resurrection.
About eighty years ago. and just be-
fore their marriage day. my father and
mother stood up in the old meeting
house at Somerville, n. j., and took
upon them the vows of the Christian
Through long life OF vicissitude my
mother lived harmlessly and usefullv
and came to her end in peace. No
child Of want ever came to her door
ana was turned away empty. No enc
III sorrow came to her but was COM
forted. No one asked her the way to
be saved but she pointed him to the
cross. When the angel of life came to
nelghbor's dwelling she was there to
rejoice at the starting of another i'm
mortal spirit. When the angel of death
came to that dwelling she was there to
robe the departed for the burial.
We had often heard her, when lead
ING family prayers in the absence of
my father, say: 20 Lord, | ask not for
my children wealth or honor, but | do
ask that they may all be the subjects of
tiny comforting gracem Her eleven
children brought into the kingdom Of
God she had but one more wish, and
that was that she might see her long
absent missionary son, and when the
ship from China anchored in New York
harbor and the long-absent one passed
over the thresholdof the paternal home
she said: Nov, Lord, lettest thou thy
servant depart in peace, for my eyes
have seen thy Salvation.n
The prayer was soon answered!
1t WAS an autumnal day when we
gathered from affair, and 1ound only the
house from which the soul had fled for
ever. She looked very natural, the
hands very much as when they were
employed in kindness for the children.
Whatever else we forget, we never
forget the look of mothers hands. As
we stood by the easket we could not
help but say: Doesn't she look beau
tiful?' 1t was a cloudlesS day when,
with heavy hearts, we carried her out
to the last resting place. The witner-
ed leaves crumbied under hoof and

on the Raritan river until it looked
like fire; but more calm, and beautiful.

SpreckeIs, the Sugar King.

CLAUS Spreckels, said friend of
his. CLOCKS SO much like the conven-
tional idea of Santa Claus. the Christ
mas saint that no one ought to be sur
prised at his being named Claus. The
old sugar king has full white beard,
rosy cheeks and luxuriant snowy hair.
He is even as benevolent in benevo-
lent way as his Christmas namesake is
on large scale, and his family and
employees are devoted to him. Mr..
Spreckels knows the sugar business
from the cane field to the refined pro-
duct. When the refinery was being
built at the foot of Reed street in Phil
adelphia, at a cost of more than mill
lion dollars, Il quantity of the most eX-
pensive machinery in the plant was put
in wrong, and when Mr.. Spreckeis saw
it he recognized the error at 4 glance.
As practical machinist he ieaped into

iron and steel yanked out and personal

How to Keep Warm.

IT may not be generally known that,
when exposed to severe cold, a feellrg
of warmth is readily created by re-
peatedly filing the lungs to their ut
most extent in the following manner:
Throw the shoulders well back and
hold the head we'll up. Initiate the
lungs slowly, the air entering entirely
through the nose. When the lungs are
completely filed, hold the breath for
ten seconds or longer, and then expire
it quickly through the mouth. After
repeating the exercise while one is
chilly feeling of warmth will be felt
over the entire body, and even in the
feet and hands. 1t is important to
practice this exercise many times each
day, and especially when in the open
air. If the habit ever becomes uni
versal then consumption and many
other diseases will rarely if ever be
heard of asserts the Northeast Maya
zine. Not only while praoticing the
breathing exercise must the clothing
be loose over the chest, but beginners
will do well to remember in having
their clothing fitted to allow for the
permanent expansion of one, two and
even three inches which will follow.

Hairpin and All.

Such thing as wearing different
sorts Of bangs on various occasions is
common enough among girls, your
correspondent is led to believe, says the
Albany argus. And this reminds him of
lady he knows who affects great
deal OF the lack of sentiment and eX-
cessivelv common-sense ways character
istic of the Boston girl. One evening
not long ago a young man whom she
cordially disliked had been making her
visit, gushing over, as usual, with
idiotic compliments. At last, with an
air and accent designed to be quite ire
sistible and heart crushing, he said:
My dear Miss p. your hair is so
beautiful. Should | be venturing too
gross a liberty if / begged you to give
me one little lock of it?n
Not, at I'll, Mr.. K" replied the lady
in matter-of-fact tone, YOU are quite
welcome"
And with that she deliberately de-
tached a small curl from above her
pink little ear, on the left side, and
gTavely presented it, hairpin and all,
TO the important dude. OF course he
took it. He could not perceive that
there was anything else for him to do.
