This is the query per-
What Is petually on your little
boys lips. And he is
1t For2 nc worse than the big
ger, older, balder-head-
ed boys. Life is all interrogation
point. "What is it for?" we con-
tinually cry from the cradle to the
grave. So with this little introduc-
tory sermonw we turn and ask: What
is AUGUST FLOWER FOR :" As easily
answered as asked: 1t is for Dys-
pepsia. 1t is a special remedy for
the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
more than this; but this brimful.
We believe August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowing it. Twenty
years agoi it started ina smallcountry
town. To-day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one of the largest manu-
featuring plants in the country and
sells everywhere. Why is this? The
reason is as simple as a child's
thought. 1t is honest, does one
thing, and does it right along-it
cures Dyspepsia. q

The Punishment of Crime.

Colossal organizations with lavish APP
preparations are in the field for the pur-
pose of suppressing crime and pauper-
ism. Until within few years this
great army has been oficered by the
church, and plans of campaign have
been mapped by it, Slowly the public
intelligence is awakening to the fact
that these methods have been ridiculous
ly inadequate, as proof exists that crime
and pauperism are steadily increasing.
The law of indefinite terms of impris-
onment for criminals committed for I;
third offense has been the wisest prison
law ever passed, for by such q law
criminals are the longer prevented from
the chance of perpetuating their evil
traits; and yet in Massachusetts there
are sentimentalists who oppose the
enactment of this law.-Professor E. S.
Morse in Popular Science Monthly.

What Mario Enze Is Doing.

That popular prima donna, Nine.
Marie Roze, who has for nearly twenty
years been favorite both in this coun-
Try and the United States, proposes to
retire from the English operatic stage
and will winter in Paris, where she has
taken large fiat for the purpose Of
holding classes for English, French and
American students in operatic singing
and acting. Nine. Roze is rightly Of
opinion that operatic department and
acting are neglected in the rush to
crowd as much knowledge of vocalism
as is possible into the short time which
artists now give themselves for prelim-
mary study.
Consequently debutantes come before
the public half trained and almost in
variably as inexperienced and incompe-
tent actresses. Nine. Roze has deter
mined that the study of operatic acting
snail go hand in hand with the study of
singing, and she will thus inaugurate a
very necessary reform. London Figaro.

Too Much walking.

The ease with which simple thing
can work harm if overdone and the eter-
nal vigilance needed to secure the safety
of children are exemplified in sad oc-
currence recently reported. Last fall a
little girl of six died after several
weeks illness of spinal meningitis. The
child's death was undoubtedly due to
overexercise of the most quiet sort.
From early spring she had accompanied
the nurse daily, both morning and after
noon, up and down the long shady street
on which her parents home stood,
walking quietly, but continuously, az
the side of the carriage of her infanl
brother. The baby thrived and grew
fat on his restful airing, but the little
sirl, as the summer waned, showed
weakness and languor, which developed
into pronounced disease and ended in
death.
The physicians decided that the ch;lds
spine must have been naturally weak.
but the persistent walking was serious
tax at any rate, and had in this case pro-
duced mortal result. A significant
fact in the matter was tic rtterance of
the doctors that rompinS = the lawn
in brief periods, with III. 5 of rest,
would not have been so -,--.i0i ;ls the
inonotonous tramping. - h1r Point OF

How Miss Jennie Took Lessons.

Some women have such an aptitude
for cooking that dishes will turn out
well even though put together like stray
pieces Of silk in u crazy patchwork. But
the most Of us want an exact rule.
Hence the value of cooking schools and
of excellent cookbooks, though pupils at
cooking schools are apt to be like Miss
Jennie, who last year wished to learn
the mysteries of the art.
She took course, but when asked
how long she baked her bread she re-
piled, Il do not know, for Susan baked
it." When questioned about the guam
tity Of butter i'll her cake, she answered,
"Sl,san got the butter for me-" So it
was Susan's bread and cake after all

Hard ON the summer Girl.

The girls of the period are groaning
under the burden of laundry bills. Tho
fashionable young woman would go into
shirts and collars and cuffs, and only
after doing so did she discover the dis
agreeable stern reality that makes a
pretty dip every week into her pin
money. Somehow girls didn't get any
encouragement from the world in their
present masculine leaning. Even the
laundryman poses as public instructor
of correct dressing, and by putting it on
pretty heavy is cs<nsing wall of dis
tress that may turn to a bowling reform.
A mans collar is always a collar; a
woman's is never a collar to the laundry
man photographer, who will make it a
chemisette if he has to put in an addi-
tional buttonhole to prove the assertion.
Then he triples the price on it, for the
laundryman is nothing if not philan-
thropic to his own purse. A sliding
scale governs the price, which is esti-
mated by the number of buttonholes,
and the providence taking care of laun-
charge, but no maximum-a beautiful
economic arrangement that rebounds
very much in favor of the laundryman.
There is no doubt, if the gentleman
who washes our cuffs and collars does
not soon relent of his sharkish appetite,
it will be death to the summer tailor
made girl.--Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Grab Claw Grip.

The Philadelphians at Bay Head. N.
j., have introduced at the hops their
latest fad in the way of dancing. 1t is
known as the 'crab claw grip" and
while most suitable for waltz is
adapted equally to the polka or gavotte.
The gentleman places his right arm
around his partner, putting his hand as
high as possible between her shoulders.
She elevates her left arm until it is at
right angles with her body and bends
her arm until her fingers rest on her
shoulder instead of her partners arm.
With his left hand he takes hold of her
right wrist, her right arm being in a
similar position to her left, and holds it
nearly under her chin, with her hand
tapping. After this position has been
secured they proceed, in true Philadel-
phia style, to dance without any regard
to the Observation-Disclosures Letter.
