How to Save Money and Health,

Most people have some trouble with their
health which they would like cured if it could
be done easily and cheap1y. DR.. Greene, of
81 Temple Place, Boston, Mass, who is the
most successful specialist in curing nervous
and chronic diseases, makes the following
offer: He gives you the privilege of consult
ing him, free of charge, through his great
system of letter correspondence. Write him
just how you feel and what symptoms trouble
you. He will answer your letter, xplaining
your case thoroughly, telling just what ais
you and how to get strong and we'll. He gives
the most careful attention to every letter, and
makes his explanations so clear that you I'M
derstand exactly what your complaint is
And for all this you pay nothing. You do
not leave your home, and have no doctors
fee to pay. The Doctor makes a speciality of
treating patients through letter correspond
ence, and is having wonderful success. He
is the discoverer of that celebrated medicine,

WHAT THE MOUTH TELLS

There are certain mouths which tell
you in every curve TO beware of their
owners. There are thin lips. sharply
drawn at the corners, rather bloodIess
and pale. They belong to men and
women whose views are narrow and
Interchangeable, whose sympathies are
not to be aroused by any means. They
are self righteous people, and as OBJ
| stinate as human beings can be.
A woman with mouth of that type
may proclaim as far as her words can
reach that she believes in wifely sub
missions and feminine yielding, but
she will have her own way through
her life. She is likely to have certain
virtues, to be sure. She will be econ
omical, pious and proper.
Her husband is not likely to be bro't
to bankruptcy or to the divorce courts
by her, but she will lead him some
times to wish for either Of these varie-
ties in the rigidity and monotony of
existence.
The woman with very full, very red
lips, Of the =" pouting - variety, is apt
to be luxurious in her tastes She is
fond Of ease and pleasure. Beauty
and brightness appeal to her, and
her ideals are not likely to be high
but she is ardent in her temperament
and very impulsive.
The Cupid's bow, of which the no
veIists Of another day used to write a
good deal, is pretty mouth, but it
lacks an element OF beauty which
modern standards demand-that Of
spirituality.
Lips continually curving upwards,
slightly pouting and red, may be very
pretty, but they are not the ones
which denote that their owner is full
Of sympathy and has had deep exper-
fence Of life.
Sorrow, either personal Or indirect,
earnestness and gravity, are all denot-
ed by the lips, which although not
sharply drawn, naturally take down
ward curve IN repose. The opposite
tendencies are denoted by up curved,
full lips.

Jew refers to the religion which the

Jew refers to the religion which the
Jews profess. Hebrew refers to a
language which they no longer speak,
and has consequently no meaning at
the present time. Israelite refers to a
nation which they at one time form
ed, and it has at present no significa-
ton except when reference is made
to the ancient nation. The Jews are
a religious community, and that is all
that separates them, Or rather dis
tinguishes them, from their fellow cit
liens. The Jews do not call themselv-
es Hebrews. A few who do not know
any better may call themselves so,
but they are wrong. Those who
know what is right call them
selves Jews, and that is the only cor
rect name.

Miss Kate Sanborn, in her abandon

Of rural schoolmaster named Dun
can, who was especially tried by an
overgrown lummux-a boy bright
enough in some studies, but hopeless
ly deficient in mathematics.
One day, when Mr.. Duncan was dis
gusted by the boys failure to do a
simple sum in subtraction, he rubbed
out the figures on his slate and put
down six ciphers and six more under
meath these, drew line, and handing
back the slate to the dullard, said
gruff1y, There! see if you can subtract
that.
The boy gazed stolidly at this new
sum. It looked queer and hard.

Men who knew Henry M. Stanley
when he WIS a newspaper man will
not be surprised at the early 'pass
ing" of the African explorer. He has
now almost entirely dropped from
public notice. Among a number of
New York publishers who were dis
cussing the matter the other day, it
was stated that Stanley was now liv-
ing in the suburbs of London. He has
a comfortable small house there, but
even the neighbors scarcely know
who he is. Not long ago, one of this
book talking group said, an article
from Stanley came to New York, and
it actually went begging for publish
err! This seems strange when one
considers that it is only three years
agciwhen one of the Scribners hastily
packed his valise and went to Cairo
in Egypt, to head off other publishers
and secure the American rights to
Stanley's book. He received a fabu-
lCus sum for it, sold the English, In
dian, Australian, Canadian, German
AMI French rights separately, and
made a small fortune out of the book.
Then he came here and lectured and
aided thousands of dollars to his re-
sources. Now, those who are in a
position to know question whether he
could draw paying house at mode
rae prices.

James G. Blaine used to tell good
story illustrative Of the quaint man
ner of President Lincoln, and showing
the strong contrast between senator
ial dignity and presidential simplici-
ty.
At the beginning of a session of con-
gress Mr.. Blaine had been appointed,
by the speaker of the House Of repre- :
sentatives, member of the joint COM
mittee to wait upon the president and
inform him that congress had duly as
sembled. Senator Foote of Vermont,
one OF the most dignified of men, was
chairman of the committee.
On being ushered into the presence
Of the president, Mr.. FOote involun-
tarily struck an attitude, and proceed
ed to say in his stateliest manner =
'Mr. President, we have been APP
pointed a committee on the part of
the two houses of congress to apprise
you that they have met and organized
and are ready to receive any com
munication which it may be your
pleasure to them"
AS he Concluded, Mr.. Lincoln step
ped up to him, and, taking him famil-
iarly by one button of his coat, said:-
''Now, look here, Foote, if it is a
matter Of life and death with you, l

The greatest care and anxiety of the
Hindu mother is to bring up her
daughter to home life and make her a
good housewife. When a girl is seven
years of age, her mother teaches her
to cook and to clean the pots. Hin
dus have two kinds of washing. One
is the daily washing OF every day APP
parel, for the clothes are changed ev-
cry morning after bathing. Every
Hindu must battle before he takes his
meals. Religion requires that no food
be cooked before the person who cooks
it has bathed. A woman first takes a
bath to her children, then she takes a
bath herself, and thereafter goes to
COOK. Inc ClOUn6S are cndlSSu anu
washed every day.
The mother teaches the little girl to
sew and to embroider, and make her
toilet, which is simple. She has no
paint on her cheeks and no hooks and
thorns in her hair. She adorns her
hair with ornamental flowers made of
gold. These are fixed on the knot of
hair. A small, round mark of red
paint is made on her forehead. The
absence of the mark from the fore
head of woman indicates that she is
a widow, for widows have not the
privilege of wearing it. BY the time
she is fifteen she learns all things per-
tanning to general housekeeping and
cookery. In short, the mother makes
her daughter good housekeeper be-
fore she goes to live with her hus-
band.
