Housewis.lv English sparrov..

A loving student of the English spar
row as the bird is to be seen in Brooklyn
finds that the little creature has in his
domestic relations many human traits.
When the sparrows are mating and
building, the male sinks into insignifi-
canoe beside the female. When a nest
ing place is to be selected the male looks
jauntily about and is ready to accept
anything that comes to hand, but the
hen examines each proposed site with
critical care, apparently studies the re-
lations Of the place to sun, wind and
rain. and finally decides the question
with small consideration for the opin-
ions Of her spouse.
When the nest is to be built the house.
wifely character Of the hen again asserts
itself. She is busy all day long gather
ing sticks and straws to serve as building
material. Nothing is taken haphazard,
but every stick or straw fits to a nicely
and is admirably adapted to the end for
which it is selected. AS to the male, he
gives moral support and little else
While the hen is devoting all her ener-
gies to the task in hand he sits on q
neighboring bough and encourages her
with music. Nor does she expect or
wish more at his hands
Now and then, apparently pricked by
conscience, he leaves his perch, picks up
clumsy stick or straw and carries it to
the scene Of the building operations.
But his contribution is seldom received
with favor. The hen usually examines
it with the i'll concealed scorn that wives
sometimes accord to domestic perform
Rnces Of husbands. and In nine cases out
OF ten she losses away the proffered ma
terial as soon as the back Of her spouse
h turned.-New York Sun

What some wAg terms "the business end of a
wasp" stings with scarcely more acuteness than
the acid eruc.atlons OF gas from the stomach
to the gullet that are characterized as heart

without this symptom. Both cause and effect
are removable by the fine carminative tonic,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. which confer reg
ularity and vigor upon q disordered and en-
feebled stomach with certainty and dispatch
Besides checking the pranks Of a rebellious
stomach. the Bitters wakes up dormant liver

An immense reputation has also been won by
this professionally approved medicine as a

WITH HER WET HANDS.
A Handsome Western Girl Who Gan
Cure Headache.
From the San Francisco Examiner.


From the San francisco Examiner.
There's girl in San Francisco who can
cure headaches-cure them without bit Of
medicine. She just lays her hands on the
aches head and that settles the whole mat
ter.
There's something peculiar about the girls
hands.
They are white and shapely and very nice
to look at, but to touoh-ugh! they are as
cold as ice. More than that, they are al
ways dripping wet, these strange hands.
It's an eerie thing to see a handsome,
healthy girl lift her hands and let an icy
dew fall from the ends of her fingers She
can do that any time she wants TO, and
never feel the least annoyed at the awe OF
the beholders.
She is tall, handsome young woman ,
who has never been i'll in her life. She Is
rosy-cheeked and bright-eyed, and she isn't
the slightest particle like the typical healer.
She works In big, hot factory down
town, and che can cure any girl in the place
OF headache or any kind of pain. She don't
60 through strange evolutions or weird in
carnations. She just pushes back her sleeves
and lays her cold wet hands on the aching
head. The patient feels a queer, creepy,
shivery sensation crawling down her back.
The cold hands move slowly across the hot
forehead Of the sufferer, the throbbing pain
stops, the nervous twitohing of the eyelids
cease and the headache is gone.

Scriven will give $50, Bryan 100 and Efing-
