People Who whistle.

"Most people look upon whistling as @
nuisance" said Herbert @. Subtitle, "but
there is no doubt that a whistling man
has good deal to recommend him.

long experience he never knew ha-

that although the rules as to quiet and
order are frequently broken he never re-
members to have heard an attempt at a
musical whistle within the terrible look
ing walls of the institution. Whistling
seems to be the natural safety valve of
good spirits and satisfaction, and the
grumbling man couldn't whistle if he

II had a man to work for me once who
was model in every respect except that
he kept my teeth constantly on edge by
series of whistling solos of anything
but cheerful character, although the
good man was evidently trying to repro
duce the latest operate hits. I broke
him of the habit by continuous scolding,
but the man became so idle and indiffer-
ent in consequence that I was very glad
to encourage him to resume a habit
which at first had given me SO much an
noyance. I try to get out of the way
when the spirit moves him to announce
in whistling tones some important or ro-
mantle event, but 1 am perfectly certain
that as long as he whistles he will work
as hard as his hands and arms will let

If you cannot keep your bathroom swee

If you cannot keep your bathroom sweet
by thorough flushing every day and by
pouring hot soda water, or dissolved coperas
through the pipes about once week, there
must be some serious trouble with the
plumbing, and you should have it examined
at once, writes Maria Parloa in the July
Ladies' Home Journal. Sometimes the pipe
in the kitchen sink is not kept perfectly
free and sweet, or the closet in the base
ment is not properly flushed. If there be
trouble anywhere in the waste-pipes it will
make itself known all over the house. Try
having the pipe in the kitchen sink flushed
twice a week with strong saltwater. 1t
will dissolve and carry off all the particles
Of grease that may be cllnging to the pipe.

Decidedly Shakey.

A trembling hand, an uncertain step, fidgiti-
ness, indicated by restless shifting from one
place or posture to another unusual mental
annoyance at unexpected noises are among the
indications of extreme nervousness. These
seem trihing, but the health of men and women
in this condition is decidedly shakey,n liable
to be overthrow dsastrously by causes which
the vigorous might defy. To fortify the nervous
system, general vigor must, through the medium
of reinforced digestion, and renewal of an i'm
paired power of sleeping at night, be raised to a
healthful standard. A guarantee of this is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which re-estab-
fishes digestion, bile secretion and the habit of
body on permanently regular basis thus re-
newing that bodily equilibrium, which is fol-
lowed by "a gain of strength and nerve tran

A Big Catch of Fish.

Indian Harry Fisk, the boss of the
West Seattle Indians, and Steve Wilson,
another of the clan, have the best record
of the season among the fishermen.
Harry contracted with the Myers can
merry to supply $4,000 fish during the
season. He went down with his crew to
Mukilteo and Peterlike threw over his
nets. Thirty thousand salmon were the
fruits of the haul, and what to do with
all the load was a puzzler. The scow
would not hold them, and nearly half
had to be thrown overheard. Harry had
been getting on so well that the next
day he tried his luck again and was as
much astonished as before, for $1,000
again filled his seine. His contract with
the big cannery was filled, and Harry
and his crew were richer by the two
days work by S750.-Seattle Dispatch.

The reason that Rock Island is so
fortunate in securing through the

the company was booked for Canton,

One of the Chicago papers contains
a ridiculous tale from Washington
relating to Rock Island affairs, which
is so exaggerated in its statements
and reflections that it is not worth
the space that it would take to re-
publish it. The assumption that
Senator Palmer and ex-Congressman
Gable are not in harmony as regards
Rock Island interests is the most alb
surd part of i. If the Illinois sena-
tor is engaged in any particular eff
fort on behalf of Rock Island, it il
not to be doubted he is moving with
