Woman's Mistake.

She tries to do too much.
This applies to all women.
The ambitious girl striving
for school honors. The busy
house wife, the shop girl, the
society woman.
What follows?
Nervous prostration, excita-
bility, fainting spells, dizziness,
sleeplessness, backache, and
most likely organic diseases of
the uterus or womb, causing
bearing-down pains and irreg-
ularity.

A scientific journal tells this story
Of a toad's cunning: A brood of
chickens was fed with moistened
meal in saucers, and when the dough
soured a little it attracted large
number of flies. An observant toad
had evidently noticed this, and every
day toward evening he would make
his appearance in the yard, hop to a
saucer, climb in and roll over and
over until he was covered with meal,
having done which he awaited de-
velopments. The flies, enticed by
the smell, soon swarmed around the
scheming batrachian, and whenever
one passed within two inches of his
nose his tongue darted out, and the
fly disappeared. The plan worked
go we'll ttst the toad made regular
business OF it..

did not at once proceed to kill and

it. It's meditations were cut short
by a bullet from Mr. Bakers rifle,

WHY the Beef Was Tough,

That there are some things about
frontier life which are more enjoy
able than others the frontiersman is
free to admit Among the few mat
ters he would have otherwise, he
gives the first place to the tough

which he must needs subsist.
II heard a story once" said he,
''about young man, tenderfoot,
who after long wondering what made
the beef so fearfully tough at length
arrived at the solution, as he thought,
and that quito by accident. He was
riding out with a friend, an old resi-
dent, when they CHANGED to come

Exterminating Reaches.

Sweeten some water well with COM
mon molasscs and put it into tin
pan or washbowl deep enough to
drown the bugs when they get in it,
and place the vessel after dark in
their runways. Place the end Of
some fiat sticks about a foot in
length (pieces Of common lath are
best) on the side of the vessel, letting
the other ends rest Oh the floor. The
odor of the molasses will draw the
reaches from their hiding places. A
few nights will destroy them, how
ever numerous. This method en-
ables one to remove the dead bugs
from the house, which is very desir-
able and is very much better than to
poison them. In such case they re.
treat and die in their hiding places
and give out an offensive odor.-Chi-

What the Train Was.

"Yonder she comesr' said a tall,
lank man who was sitting on trunk
in the shade of the station building.
"Yonder comes who?" asked fat,
good natured appearing man who sat
near him.
1.-THE train we've been waiting for
nearly half an hour" said the first
speaker.
why do you say 'Yonder she
comesg" asked the other.
"Well, that's the customary way
of speaking of a train, isn't it? And
custom is what fixes things. Every
body says 'Yonder she comes in
speaking of trains approach"
"Well, insist you should have
said 'Yonder he comes, ," said the fat
man.
''Oh, pshaw! Nobody ever says
he in speaking of a train,' returned
the lean man.
"Well, I'll agree to leave it to the
station agent and see if it wouldn't
have been better for you to have
said 'Yonder he comes,'" added the
fat man.
Both agreed to it, and when they
had found the station agent the fiat
man asked, "What is the sex Of the
train just drawing near to the sta
tion?"
''It's mail train," answered he.
And the lean man went out and
bought good cigar for the fat man.

A young lady, whom l will call

Irene had very short illness-in
fact, her death was almost sudden,
and on the night of her death Amy,
who had gone to bed early, had tooth
ache very badly and went down stairs
to get something to relieve the pain.
She went into a back room looking
into the garden. The blinds were not

had recently been wearing and heard
her say three times, BE good to

a COLLECTORS LONG SEARCH.
HOW Stevens Finally Got the First English
Book Printed In America.

Now Stevens Finally Got the First Engltsh
Book Printed In America. =.
Henry Stevens, the celebrated
American book collector, who made
his home in London, was seven long
years in finding a perfect copy Of
the BAY Psalm Book" the New
England metrical version of the
psalms printed at Cambridge in 1640.'
The only copy in England was per-
feet one at the Bodleian library,
which was mentioned in the cata-
logue without distinction among the
other psalms in verse.
Mr.. Stevens had often reverently
handled this book, but had never
spoken of it to the librarian, think
ing, as he said, that when he had So
cured a copy for himself lit would
be time enough to acquaint the
learned doctor that he was enter
tanning unawares this angel Of the
new world"
One day, however, on looking over
an auctioneer's stock, he came upon
the lost Benjamin, clean and unspot-
ted. He instantly closed the parcel,
which had been described in the cat
alogue as "Psalms-1630 to 1875"
and tightened the string just as the
man came to lay it on the table.
A cool determination nerved him,
and advancing to the table he began
the bids in a perfectly neutral tone
by sixpence. They went on by six
pences until half a crown had been
reached and the auctioneer had
loosened the string. He took up
every volume of which Mr.. Stevens
was in search and turned to him to
say:
This looks like rare edition, Mr..
Stevens. Don't you think 500"
Thereupon he raised the bid S shil-
lings. Then a spirited competition
arose, until finally the lot was
Knocked down to "Stevens" for 10
shillings. He called out Delivered! !"
with more energy than discretion
and tucked the little volume in his
pocket, leaving the other seven in
the package to take the usual course,
whereupon some one asked curl
ously:
What rarity have you got now9"
"Oh, nothing, was the reply, 'but
the first English book printed in
America"
There was a pause in the sale
while every one took a look at the
victor.
There has evidently been a mis-
taker' cried jocular voice. PUT
up the lot again!"
NO" said Mr.. Stevens. IF the
former owner did not recognize the
prize he had won, as he has shown
by selling it for shillings, certainly
the cataloguer might be excused for
throwing it away into the hands of
the right person, to rescue, appreci-
ate and preserve. I am fully re-
warded for my long and silent
