Do YOU want TO know the name OF
one OF the best all around household
doctors. and certainly the cheapest

squeeze him into a glass Of water
every morning and drink him with
very little sugar. He will keep your
stomach in the best Of order aud never
let Mr. Dyspepsia, whom he hates
cordially, get into it.
II you have dark hair, and it seems
to be falling out, cut of a slice u the
doctor aud rub him on your scalp
He will stop that little trouble prompt
ly.
Squeeze him into n quart OF milk
and he will give you mixture to rub
on your face night and morning aud
ge; complexion like princess.
Pour hin into an equal quantity OF
glycerine and rub your hands with
the mixture before going to bed. II
you don't mind sleeping with your
gloves on. that's better still. and helps
the doctor considerably in his task Of
whitening your hands. In the morn
ing wash your hands thoroughly In
warm water and apply tue doctor
again pure. but only few drops this
time. You mus not keep this up too
long. or your hands will show such
dazzling whiteness a to make all the
other young ladies in the vicinity

If you have a bad headache cut DR..
Lemon into slices aud rub these along
your temple The pain will not be
long disappearing at least In
growing easier 10 bear.
II a bee or an insect stings you clap
a few drops OF the doctor on 20 the

better for it,
II YOU have a troublesome corn the
doctor can be again put TO good ac-
count by rubbing him on the toe after
you have taken hot. bath and cut
away as much a. possible Of the
troublesome intruder.
Besides all this tile doctor i always
ready 10 sacrifice himself in the cause
OF Russian tea-slice him in without
sugar-or in the preparation Of old
fashioned lemonade, than which no
drink is more Wholesome.
Altogether DR. Lemon is an indi-
viduAl few people can afford TO get
along without.

How it Will Pay.

The ST. Louis Republic has been at
the pains to figure out what the
Springer free-wool bill, il enacted
and signed by the President. would
save a family OF five persons each
year The two parents will spend. il
is estimated. $50 year. al least, for
clothing OF all sorts with wool ~ il. ~
The two half grown children will take
at least $50 more. The baby will
add 500. making $50 in all. Thi, in-
cludes carpets. blankets, hats and
other articles with wool in them used
in wear. 4 wealthy family would
use. Of course. four or five times $3.50.
but for the average family Of five
this is a moderate estimate. How
much Of this is protection, SAYS the
Republic: "Of every Sl00 spent for
woolens. or alleged woolens. in this
country at least 233k goes for nothing
except prohibitive duties imposed 70
prevent imports. TO keep revenue ont
of the treasury and TO so restrict
trade a. 10 establish monopoly.
Some $50 year is u low estimate Of
the amount the father OF the average
family is robbed Of by the wool tariff
yearly Take the tax away, and this
sum might 90 into the savings bank
against the rainy day. Hence the
popularity of the Springer bill a
sum OF $50 a year saved would be Il
fortune TO many poor man.

Why we Have leap-fears.

But. TO return to our leap-years, why
is it that there have TO be such years
that all our years are not OF the
same length! IL arises from the tact
that the wear does not consist OF an
exact number of days. The length OF
the day and that of the year are the
measures OF the motions of the earth
The globe We live on moves IN TWO
wavs. Ii turn itself round like
spinning top. and at the SAM time
it goes steadily forward like bullet
shot from gun. 1t turns itself once
completely round in twenty four OF
our hours aS shown by the clock; this
amount Of time We call day. It's
forward or onward motion carries IL
round the sun in Il path that l. nearly
a circle, the time it takes 10 - com
pletely around we call year. The
first motion gives H. day and night

one end OF the earth turning more
to ward the sun for half the time aud
.h- other end for the other half; AMI
this brings Us summer and winterand
the other seasons. Now the length OF
the wear is found TO be- nearly 361t
tunes the length Of the day of twenty
four hours; that is. the year Is 35)
days long aud nearly hours more. II
i these hours tuat give us our leap
wears. and il i IN thu nearly that

one OF their numb 'r.
\ Scottish clergyman who died
nearly thirty year>aEo, Mr. LaiShman
Of Kiaro,, used To tell that he had
once b,au seven year, without "A birth
day. The statem.n puzzled most
who heard H. Tney could ses that.
if he had b,en born on the .9th Of
February. h would have n birthday
except ia leap-y-ar. Bat leap year
comes once ia tDur years. and thi, ac-
counts fora gap OF three wears only;
their first thousht would therefore
naturally be that the old mau, who
i'm fact was fond OF n harmless jest,
WA, somehow testing about the seven.
There was however. no joke or trick
i'm his assertion. At the present time
there can b. very few, II there are
any, who have this tale to tell Of them
selves. for one who can tell IL must
have been born on the 2Jth OF Febru-
airy at Last ninety six years ago. But
a similar line Of missing dates II now
soon to return; and indeed there are
no doubt some read ,rs OF this page
who will have only one birthday To
celebrate for nearly twelve years t"
come.
The solution Of the puzzle i TO BE-
found in the fact, which does not ap-
pear to be very widely known. that
the year 1909 was not n leap-year aud
1900 will not bp. The February OF the
present year had twenty nine days;
but in all the seven years Intervening
between 1896 aud 1894 as well ~ In
the three between 1892 and 1896 that
month will have only twenty-eight.-

JUST BE GLAD.

Worry so,
What we've missed of calm we couldn't
Have. you know!
What we've met OF stormy pain,
And Of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again,

We have erred in that dark hour
We have known
When the tears fell with the shower.
All alone
Were not shine and shower blent
AS the Gracious Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With His own.
For. we know, not every morrow
Can he sad;
So, forgetting al the sorrow
We have had
Let us fold away our fears,
And put up our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.

Two Birthdays.

There are two Brooklyn women,
warm friends, whose ages are the
same, their birthdays falling upon the
same day. They had passed thirty
and were not yet forty, and one Of
them had made up her mind that she
never would be forty. At last came
the fortieth birthday. Mrs. Brown
called up her friend, Mrs. Bennett,
and said over the telephone wire,
This is nv birthday

the way. it's my birthday, too

As the Flame of a Candle.

One who looked the crowd over as
we waited for the train would not
have set us down as hard hearted and
Indifferent; but we so proved TO be,
as young Girl not over thirteen years
Of age, leading an old man who was
stone blind and very feeble, passed
slowly around the room soliciting
aims. They got a penny here and
there, but even these seemed to be
given grudgingly, aud those who gave
nothing consOled themselves with the
reflection that the pair were frauds
and really needed no assistance.
When they had made the tour of
the room the girl led the old man to Il
seat in a corner. and after few words
had passed between them they began
singing a hymn. She had Il wonder
full voice for a chiid-cIear and sweet
and his was deep bass. The hymn
was that grand old one
Nearer, my God. to Thee"
You have heard it by full choir
accompanied by the strains OF grand
organ, but you never listened so in
tently a. we did There was plaint
in that girls voice which touched u
chord, and there was a quiver in the
old mans bass which saddened YOU
They sang low and soft, aud they had
not finished half a verse when all Of
us were standing up to see them bet
ter.
The girl kept her eyes on the floor
at her feet. The sightless eyes of the
old man-her father-were raised to
the ceiling and over his furrowed face
crept a glad smile as he finished the
chorus.
Nearer. my God. 10 Thee,
Nearer 10 Thee
The hymn was not finished when
every man began feeling for contri-
button and women opened their port
monnaies. 1t was different now.
They were no longer frauds, and ev-
cry one was glad to give something.
Two or three were just ready to take
up q collection, but they waited for
the end of the hymn. When it came
10 the chorus Of the last verse, the old
man was singing bravely. Half way
through his voice suddenly chOked,
and the last two lines were sung by
the girl alone and died away in sob
and cry. All of us saw the old mans
head drop forward and his body give
a lurch. He would have fallen to the
floor had not the girl seized and held
him up. A dozen of us were there in
n moment, but we were too late. The
old mans life had gone out as your
breath upon the flame Of candle,
and on his ashen lips still trembled
the sacred notes of the refrain
Nearer, my God. 10 Thee,

to. 1t is said that the thinkers are de-

nails for the cross, and are condemned
to wander continually without any
rest. This tradition is very common

PRoFIT-sHARING IN RAILROADS.

President M. E. Ingalls,. of the Chesa-
peakean Ohio and Big Four Railroads,
In his annual report just issued, says
that a cooperative plan of profit shar
ing by the men is the best method Of
meeting the growing diff ;uitles of the
labor problem. He explains:
The problem of the future In railway
MANAGEMENT seems to be how to make
a fair return to investors while rates
are continually going down and wages
are increasing, A large portion Of the
time of your officers and managers is
taken up meeting and consulting and
discussing with the organized bodies
of labor on the road, the question of
woons etc Your directors would
rac0mmend to the stockholders to con
slider the plan establishing a com
m11nitv of interest with the employees.
IF the comp any has arrived at a fnan-
ciaI nositiOn, as your directors think
T. has when it can safely be expected
tn earn it's fixed charges and q surplus,
thew would recommend that the sur,
Mus be equally divided with the en-
For instance, if your capital is $780,
q 600 and the wages of the employee, 8
in he wear amount to SIS. 900, 900, let
that be the rate of division. If your
surplus earnings are $3.50, 900 a year, it
would be 1 per cent. for the stockhold-
ers and 1 per cent. to the employees.
An employee, then, who had served
for the entire year without accident
caused by his own negligence would
receive his 1 per cent. on the amount
OF his pay.
AS the earnings of the company in,
crease the percentage will be still
larger. In any event, the employe es
would still receive regular compensa-
ton and would also share to some ex-
tent in whatever prosperity the com
pany had. Wherever this has been
tried in manufacturing companies it
has worked we'll and has also been sue
.cessfully adopted on one of the French
railways.
Mr.. Ingalls, recommendeds that the
stockholders appoint a committee to
consider the matter and to take such
measures as will realize any action of
the directors in that line.-M Y. Post.
