But human creatures lives"
IfThomas Hood could have looked
into one of the big retail stores in any
city with the endless streams of eager
buyers and the pale faced shop girls be-
hind the counters, he would have in
cluded women as well as meni in his
appeal for more humanity.
In order that some may go finely
clad and have leisure, thousands of
tired working girls must wear out
health, good looks and strength by long,
close hours in offices, behind monoto-
nous store counters and in factories.
"Women," as DIR. Weir Mitchell
says, "are by physiological nature more
liable to be nervous and thin-blooded
than are the men," 1t is a sad draw
back in the face of the duties of life that
very little emotional disturbance.
anxiety or nervous strain suffices to
overcome the woman as it does not the
man, and that the same excuses which
make him irritable make her nervous.
The greatest friend tired, feeble
women have to-day is Paine's celery
compound, the remarkable discovery
of Prof. Edward e. Phelps, M. d., l.
l.. D., of Dartmouth college. This
greatest nerve regulator and blood puri-
fer yet known is the mainstay of great
proportion of the homes throughout the
country where nervous weakness and
feebleness have entered. Paine's celery
compound begins at once to rebuild the
shattered nerves and nerve centers all
over the body 1t is the one great
spring medicine, because it quickly re-
moves impurities from the blood; gives
new life and vigor by filling every tiny
ramification of the blood vessels with
rich red blood, capable of making
healthy tissue.
"The difference between the knowl-
edge of to-day" says well-known
scientist, "and that possessed before
DR.. Phelps studies of the nerves and
their intimate connection with every
process in the body, is enormous. Dys-
pepsia, for example, is now ranked as a
nervous disease, and, as in the case OF
other nervous weakness, it is really
durable by attending closely to the nu-
triton of the nerve centers with Paine's
celery compound. Diseases of the kid
neys, heart and the liver are cured in
the same radical way by providing
abundant and appropriate nutrition for
these parts"
"Not more food but better,n is the
watchword of the best medical skill
better food for nerves and nerve centers.
When the system is completely nour-
ished the tired-out, run down feeling
vanishes, and the craving of the nerves
called neuralgia, rheumatism and heart
trouble ceases.
'.'There is one remedy deserving the
name of spring medicine-that is
Paihe's celery compound" said very
careful physician. Sick headache,
sleeplessness, mental oppression and
lack of energy are cured by Paine's Gel
cry compound. 1t makes people well.

When Prince Bismarck wore a Wig.
From Deutsche Revue

Prince Bismarck expressed himself in
very forcible terms on the subject of
badness. "Moltke," he said, 'swears a
wig which deceives nobody. If l wore
wig 1 should give vent to all my
humors, and wear wigs of all kinds
long, short and middle-sized; fair and
brown. In my eyes a wig is simply a
hood of hair, instead of wool, silk or
cotton. l should, therefore, wear my
wig as hood and there are hoods of
different kinds, some warmer and
others lighter. There was time when
l made up my mind to wear a wig,
when was in st. Petersburg. My eX-
cuse was the cold. AT temperature
of % to 80 degrees (Reaumur) below
freezing point had sometimes to stand
bareheaded, with scarcely more hair ON
my head than l have now. This nuis-
ance required annually at the blessing
of the Neva. Others had worn wigs be-
fore me, and so got one. AT review
at Warsaw before the Car Alexander
III and the Prince Regent of Prussia,
afterward the Emperor William 1, 1
had to ride and wear military uni
form. A helmet is a bad protection
against both heat and cold, so 1 resolved
to put on my wig. We were galloping
in the retinue of the Princes when a
general beside me looked at me and
said, half chaffingly, What, do you
wear wig?' rs it to be seen?' l re-
piled. Yes, devilish distinctly. It's
slipping down on one side 1t was
the fact. The carriage in which 1 was
to drive home was standing at some
distance. 1 left the General Staff
where it was. My general accompanied
me and we spurred our horses. L
stopped my horse at the carriage-not
an easy matter for it was a thorough
bred-and there and then, in the pres
ence of the Car, the Princes, the Gen.
eral Staff and the Army, L took off my
helmet, tore off my wig and threw it
into the carriage. The Prince Regent
who attached great importance to forms
afterward said to me, rather testify,
what diabolical manOeuvre you ex-
ecuted with that wig of yours.

A gold medal with the insignia OF the
Legion of Honor was presented by the
French government, while Carnot was
still at it's head, to child eleven years
of age-Jennie Creek by name-who
lives in Milford Ohio. The statement
has been made that she is the youngest
person of either sex who has ever re-
ceived this distinction; but one cares
more to know that the deed thus COM
memorated-her heroism in saving a
Worlds Fair train last summer-has
picturesque quality that may perhaps;
keep it in memory when other acts OF
heroism have been forgotten. 1t is the
subject of a poem, entitled "Maid of the
Legion of Honor" by Margaret b.
Sangster, in Harper's Young People for
July 3.

CHILDREN's CROOKED LEGS.
The Process by which They May Bs
StrafGhtened.

From the st. Louis Republic.
1t is the fault Of child's mother today
IL either boy or girl is allowed to reach
maturity with distorted limbs-knock knees
or bowed legs are unnecessary evils
Both these deformlties can be cured, and
cured permanently. There are three ways
In which physicians undertake cases.
First, by what they term 'expectant"
treatment; next, chemical and, lastly, op-
erative tire. tment. The little boy or girl
land no child is received over fourteen
years of age is placed on brown paper and
the outlines of his legs are traced; this de-
termines how serious the defect Is II the
baby Is young, eight months or two years,
ana It's bones are soft. the first method is
prescribed, which consists of keeping the
little one in bed and rubbing the legs with
firm pressure until the bones yield and take
their normal position. This can be done
only with those still in Infancy
II the child is two to four years old me-
chanical treatment is given; the legs are
either put into steel braces, which correct
the displacement in the bones by continual
pressure, or, If the defect Is slight, shoes
are built up on the soles to throw tie legs
into the right angle.
After four years the bones usually are
hardened, and it would take tedious time
TO strafghten them by braces, so the opera
tive treatment is given. The legs are
broken
This seems a startling statement, and
sounds very cruel for the child. but the doc
tors think nothing of the operation, and pa
rents have begun 10 realize how harmless
1t Is, and do not protest 50 violently as at
first
The child is put under ether, the body
laid on the operating table, the legs
strapped and the bones broken by a chiscl
and mallet. A keen knife Is used to ope n
a little slit in the skin, and the small chisel
Is inserted delicately in between the arte-
ries, reaching the bones easily and quickly,
for the large bone IS near the skin below
the knee, and when securely testing on II
the chisel Is hammered through.
The broken bones are then placed in their
correct position with the least trouble, a
dressing put on and the leg incased in plas-
ter of paris. or course, both legs are CD
Grated on in the same manner. Scarcely any
blood is shed, there is no danger, 1t being
unnecessary that even fever should result,
and in four weeks the child Is sent home
cured. Fol- awhile he wears braces, but
soon discards these. and finds himself as
straight and supple as any Of his COM
rades.

MEMORIZING THE BIBLE.
Some Instances Of Great Verbal Fa-
miliarity With the Scriptures.


From the Brooklyn Eagle.
There have been several Instances of men
with such marvellous memories that they
knew not only by heart the New but also
the Old Testament. and in one case, at
least, the whole Apocrypha as well. An
old beggar at Stirling, Scotland, known over
sixty years ago as Blind Aiick, knew the
whole of the Bible by heart, insomuch that
If sentence was read to him he could
name book, chapter and verse; or, IL the
book, chapter and verse were named he
could give the exact words. A man tested
him by repeating verse and purposely
making one verbal fnaccuracy. Alick hest
tated, named the place where the passage
was to be found, and at the same time
pointed out the verbal error. The same
man asked him to repeat the ninetieth
verse of the seventh chapter Of the book
Of Numbers. AliclS almost instantly re-
piled: There Is no such verse; that chap
ter has only eighty-nine verses" A monk
who resided at Moscow in the fifteenth
century could repeat the whole of the New
Testament; Daniel Mccartney was a COM
plete concordance of the New Testament
and Of most of the Old Testament. Prof.
Hoyt (of Hebrew recited large number
of passages from the Scriptures, as asked
for, and satisfied his audience that he knew
where every passage was. Lord Cartaret
knew all the Greek Testament by heart
from the first chapter of Matthew to the
last chapter Of the Apocalypse and could
recite 1t verse by verse as IL he had the
book actually before him.
