some. l got her bottle She took this
one, and when that was gone it had done
her so much good that l went and got two
more bottles.

A Dumb Mans Joke.

Jones was sauntering about at the Acad-
envy of Design and CHANGED to meet a
friend, a deaf mute, who was conversing
with a companion in sign language. Greet
ing Jones cordially the deaf mute drew out
notebook and pencil, and after a brief
pencil and paper conversation introduced
his companion by the same means and
shortly after withdrew.
Jones and the stranger discussed the pic
lures pleasantly for - minutes or more,
meanwhile covering the backs of sundry
envelopes and scraps of paper with their
pencilings, when IA fourth character in this
little drama came upon the scene-a friend
of Jones new made acquaintance.

the newcomer Familiarity. "How do you
like the pictures this year?"

The orthodox old-school doctors consid-
cred disease an organized enemy which
carried on an actual warfare within the
body. Heroic remedies, powerful pills and
pellets were, therefore, hurled like shot and
shell to displace the invisible enemy.
The belief to-day is that disease is deli
cate organization out of gear and working
with friction.
Have you had the grip?
Has it left you weak and nervous? Then
you know what disease is.
You need something to rob the nerves OF
irritability, and make the system capable of
making vigorous, ruddy, healthy blood.
Then above all things, use Paine's celery
compound. Thousands of people have set
their stamp Of approval on it, 1t is in the
line of progress. Its discoverer recognized
that weakness, lassitude and lack of energy
mean that more nervous force is being used
than is produced.

Girl PhrenolOgists.

''I had my head examined by girl phre-
nologist," said Harvey Conselyea at the
Lindell, land tell you it was an exceed
ingly pleasant operation. She told me a
great deal about myself that was true and
much that agreed with what other phrenol-
ogists had told me. Do you know that
think there is something in this science of
Gall and Spurzheim? And do you know,
too, that women are going in for the study
of it much the same as they are for medi-
cine and the law? A few years ago phre-
nology was looked upon as dime museum
fake. Now it is regarded as an exact sci
ence. There is college of phrenology in
New York city crowded with female stu
dents. At the last graduating day 40 wom-

Not a "Reel Mess"

A party OF young men who were off on a
fishing excursion on the Ohio river some
years ago were joined by an eccentric man
skilled as fisherman known in that region
as 'Barefooted Sam" He was good cook
and made himself useful in so many ways
that his presence, though unlimited, was
tolerated by the amateur sportsmen.
One morning two members of the party
returned to camp with their appetites well
sharpened for breakfast and were greeted
enthusiastically by IA third man, who said,
"You just come along and see the finest
baked perch you ever laid ewes on"
They hurried to the table, Sut saw only a
rick of bones from which every fiber of
meat had been taken. Sam was nowhere
to be seen. When he returned, no COM
ments were made upon the circumstance,
but in the afternoon, when the company
were lounging on the bank, Sam drawled
out:
I'D like to have all the fish | could eat,
Jest onst. | amt had mess since Pete
Toilet ketched that big catfish three years
back"
Sam" remarked one of the group dryly,
~ thought you had quite fair mess this
morning. That perch weighed about 1O
pounds, I've been informed"
''Oh, yes" replied Sam, with no sign OF
embarrassment on his placid countenance
~ ate that, but what mean is reel, req
lar messW
The company pondered on this remarka-
BILE statement in absolute silence for some
moments, until at last the man who had
caught the perch calculated, "Well, II

First Women on the English Stage.

It is only with the restoration drama
that the annals of actresses on the English
stage begin. Queen Henrietta Maria, wife
of Charles l, had early made a vain attempt
to introduce the French fashion of female
players into her adopted country by the es-
Establishment of French company, COM
posed only of women, in London. But the
experiment was premature, and the for
eigners were Kissed and pelted off the stage
at their first performance.
Until 1860 the female parts had always
been taken by boys, and the custom sur
vived even after women had taken their
place upon the stage, since some of the
more famous of the boy actors grown into
mem continued occasionally to play their
favorite roles as late as the end of the seven
teenth century. Kynaston, the chief boy
actor, survived till $685. long after the ladies
had ousted him from the principal parts,
and in 1861 Pepys, who saw him in the
''Silent Woman" speaks of him as 'the
liveliest lady for boy he had ever seen.
Nokes won fame as the nurse in Romeo
Ind Juliet" while the boy" who played
Evadne was beautiful even in old age

How Chinese Hatch Fish.

The Chinese have method of Matching

from those accidents which generally de-
ttroy large portion of it. The fishermen
collect with care from the margin and sur
face of water all those gelatinous masses
which contain the spawn of fish, and after
they have found sufficient quantity they
fill with it the shell of a fresh hens egg
which they have previously emptied, stop
up the hole and put it under sitting
fowl. At the expiration of certain num-
Der of days they break the shell in water
warmed by the sun. The young fry are
presently Matched and are kept in pure,
fresh water till they are large enough to
be thrown into the pond with the old fish.
