as high an idea as other men Of the rel
ative advantages Of contentment and
strife.
At the Mcclure the other day group
Of well-dressed men were discussing the
good and bad points of a mutual ac-
quaintance. Said one gentleman dur
ing his remarks, "He is as useless as a
fifth wheel to a wagon"
A gentleman in the group spoke up
and said, "Well, he is not so useless
after ALL
"How do you make that out?" queried
the first speaker in surprise.
That's easy enough" replied the
man with the practical mind. 1.-THE
fifth wheel of carriage or wagon is a
small rim of iron on which the running
gear turns. 1t is on the front axle OF
the wagon and could not be dispensed
with, so you see your comparison is not
a good one, even ii the phrase you used
were as old as the hills" and the Sec
ond gentleman was right, for he was a
wagon manufacturer, and knew what
he was talking about.

In going north on Main street the
other day The Tattler was struck with
he artistic display by the gentlemen
who have charge OF the window deco
rations. The artistic ability displayed
is something wonderful, and the most
pleasing part Of all is the different de-
signs displayed were all formed with
goods on sale in the stores, the windows
Of which the display is made. This is
an attractive way of attracting atten-
ton to a house, and coupled with neat
display ad. in a reputable newspaper is
sure TO bring customers TO the house.

course, but it should hasten to correct
it so as to prevent its readers getting

There is apparently no limit to the
curious and unique arrangements sug.
gested for the employment of electricity
for general household purposes, as is
evidenced by the device that has just
been completed by Cincinnati firm. 1t
is an electric light bath, which is not to
be COMPOUNDED with an electric bath.
The cabinet is of the usual size of vapor
baths, with lid inclosing the body
completely, except the head, which is
exposed. The lamps are distributed
around the body of the patient, being
arranged in groups of fourteen and OPP
Grated by separate switch for each
group.
About sixty lamps of sixteen candle
power are used in the bath. The sides
of the interior of the cabinet are backed
by polished nickel to give reflective
power. The effect of the strong light is
to brown the skin as if it had been ex-
posed to the sun. The combined effects
of the electric and vapor bath in one
are said to be without the usual de-
pressing effects of the vapor bath alone,
in fact having an opposite effect and
making a patient buoyant and frisky.-

The quiet girl doesn't do any waltz

why Livery Stable Men Trust.

Sometimes it seems a little strange
that the one business in which dealer
seldom asks for a deposit in advance
from a customer whom he does not
know is the one in which very valua-
BILE article is given confidently into the
customers hands. This is the livery
stable business. A stranger appears,
asks for horse and carriage, receives
them and nothing is said, except in rare
instances, about his responsibility.
The reason is that there is very little
likelihood in any civilized country that
any one will undertake to steal horse
and carriage. Civilization and officers
of the law have made it next to impos
sible to dispose of stolen horse and es-
cape capture.
The same principle makes certain ex-
tremely valuable diamonds almost per-
fectly safe property.-London Tit-Bits.

The wife of a popular preacher says
that fine looking young farmer, rough
ly dressed, with an OK whip in his hand,
knocked at the door and was shown into
the parlor. There he laid his whip upon
the mantelpiece and proceeded to make
known his errand.
81 say parson," he began, with some
embarrassment, eff was to figger roun
today till l got things fixed to my no
ton, could come up here long with a
girl an git marriedY
Certainly" said the minister, "cer-
tainly. What seems to be the troubleT
"Wal." answered the farmer, "Pve
got my license-that's all ready; got it
more'n a week ago. An now I've got a
place to git married at That's two
things. But amt said nothing to the
girl yet. She's in town today, though,
an l seen her in store buyin some
things, an Pm a-goin right down an ask
her."
He took down his whip, flung it over
his shoulder and went out of the door
and down the street. The minister and
his wife laughed, but the wife went
often to the window and peeped out to
see whether the expectant couple were
in sight.
More than an hour passed; she had
nearly given them up; but at last they
appeared-the girl, as the parsons wife
expressed it, ga perfect little beauty and
as neat as PIN"
II had lots o. trouble a-findin her"
said the farmer by way of explanation,
and then they stood up and were mar
ried, while the bride seemed hardly to
know whether to smile or TO weep. But
when the ceremony was over and the
minister's wife said something TO her
about it's being so sudden she answered,
while tears brimmed her eyes, "But you
see, ma'am, I've loved Jim ever since /

stupid to find 1t out. st. Louis Re-

Nervous Exhaustion.

The ultimate nutrients of the body,
whether of the muscles, membranes,
nerve or cerebral substances, are the
cells. These cells select the appropriate
nourishment from the blood, assimilate
it and throw off the debris-the poison
GUS waste, always fatal if unduly re-
tanned.
No other organ is so constantly in &C.
ton as the nervous system. 1t is never
fully at rest, day or night The cells of
every tissue must be kept necessarily at
work. Every thought, feeling, purpose,
volition, every excitement of pleasure,
pain or passion, all concentration Of
mind in study, business or care, uses up
brain substance and transforms it into
waste product.
In normal mental action this waste is
taken care of and duly eliminated; but
in prolonged excessive mental activity
the waste accumulates, and, according
to DR.. Cowles, acts as a poison to the
nerves themselves, interfering with their
normal action.
An early result is simple fatigue of
the brain, which rest may soon relieve;
at later stage, the overactivity being
longer continued, there is excessive irri-
liability and weakness of the nervous
system. The tendency is always toward
grave mental disease, often merging
into insanity.
Among the physical signs are tremoi
Of the face, tongue and hands; but the
earliest and most important signs are
mental symptoms-melancholy and men,
tai depression. The disease, to be easily
arrested, should be treated early

Old Nursery Favorites

There was Tom, the Son of the Piper,
Jack Sprat, and Merry King Cole,
And the Thrice Wise Men of Gotham,
Who went to sea In a bowl;
The woman who rode on a broomstick.
And swept the cobwebbed sky,
And the boy who sat in the corner,
Eating his Christmas pie.
These were some of the old favorites,
but they have been supplanted by the
"Pansy" and "Chatterbox" stories,
Little Lord Fauntleroy," and give
Little Peppers" The old fashioned
pills and physics have been superseded,
and wisely, too, by Pierce's Purgative
Pellets, mild, harmless and effective
cathartic. They are pleasant n take
so gentle in their action that the most
delicate child can take them, yet so
effective that they will cure the most
obstinate cases of constipation, stomach,
liver and bowel troubles. They should
be in every nu rsery. A gentle laxative,
only one for dose.

Arson Smith, of Shelton Center, a
wooden legged veteran, tells a funny
story about himself. Mr.. Smith set to
work to make frame for the support
of his tomato vines. To keep the posts
steady while mailing the Stats he placed
his left or wooden leg against them and
drove the nails home with vim. After
mailing one end he started to go to the
next, but found to his surprise he could
not move. Visions of paralysis flashed
over his mind, but ON examining care
fully he found he had driven the nail
through Stat and post into his wooden
leg, and that he was nailed fast to the
tomato frame.-Ansonia Conn., Senti-
mel.

The seIentis.s, Debt to Franklin.

Benjamin Franklin was one of the
most earnest and tireless of scientists.
His discoveries are classed among the
most remarkable Of the age. They were
as extensive and brilliant as they were
deep and mysterious. He outran the
most celebrated English electricians in
the race for new discoveries. He gave
form and dignity to the science of cleo
tricity, and raised the science to high
rank among the most useful and distin-
guished, and also gave it philosophic
standing second to none of the discover
les of the Eighteenth century. To Ben
jamin Franklin are due many of the
most useful discoveries in electricity.
His clear eyes of prophecy saw the glo-
rious triumph of his favorite science,
and somewhere he may be watching the
grand illuminations resulting from his
successful efforts in bottling a flash Of
lightning He was the first man to
succeed in imprisonihg the mysterious
currents of electricity.-New York Tel
