NO CASH "TIPS" FOR WOMEN.

They Get Only Smiles and Smirks From
Men at Restaurants.
Tn restaurants where women are en-
ployed as walters the average man seems
to be of the opinion that smiles or
smirks are tantamount to tips, al
though they cost the giver nothing and
have no cash value anywhere, except
perhaps as elements to be considered in
estimating damage in breach Of promise
suits. Why man should consider 1t
more or less obligatory on him to give
gratuity to the man who waits upon
him, be he white or colored, while his
conscience relieves him Of all such obll-
cations when woman performs SIM
liar service for him, is one Of those mys-
teries which the feminine mind is in
capable of solving. | have conversed
with several mattresses" on the sub
ject, and they have always told me that
they would infinitely prefer dimes to
smiles, more especially as their pay is
SO small that the problem of making
both ends meet is for them a particular
ly hard one.
1t may be said III defense Of mascu-
line custom in this matter that the con-
duct of the recipients of these amatory
demonstrations would justify the opin-
ion that they prefer them to small Pc
cuniary emoluments, but the cruel fact
is that the girl employed in restau-
rant who doesn't act more or less as
f1irt stands no chance of retaining her
position A complaint of a customers
familiarity instead of causing him to be
rebuked would more likely result in her
own dismissal 1t ism t alone for wait
ing that she is paid She is expected to
make herself attractive.
There are many men of an economical
turn of mind whose patronage Of restau-
rants where women are employed is
largely due to the fact that at such
places they can refrain from "tipping'
without being suspected OF meanness.
And dime saved is 20 cents earned.
But all the same woman who waits
on table in a restaurant is just as
much entitled to tip as man, and
the fact that she doesn t get it is only an
other link in the chain of evidence which
shows that the average man will always
take advantage of woman in pecuniary
matters if he gets a chance-that is to
say, for doing the same thing he will
always pay a woman less than he will a

From the Gate City, Keokuk, Ia.l
Mrs. Helen Meyers whose home is at

whose visit to Keokuk, Ia, will long
be remembered, was at one time at

at times drove her nearly to distraction.

MANUFACTURING BRAINS.
ImbeciIe Children and How They Are I'm
proved Mentally.

lmbec1le Children anu HOW Iney Are Hi
proved Mentally.
The education of the imbecile is one
requiring an infinite number OF repetl-
tions of a message, which at the outset
must be unusually sharp and clear and
unconfusing If it is the sight and hear
ing which are to be improved, the pupil
is placed in dark room, and into its
darkness a single ray of bright light is
admitted. And when this startling and
antithetical phenomenon has caught and
riveted the child's attention, by repeti-
ton, slide is passed through the beam
of light with sharply defined forms
painted or engraved upon it-simple
forms, too, such as the square or tri-
angle or star Then the names of these
figures are clearly and distinctly and re-
peatedly pronounced, the name sounded
each time the object is exhibited.
This is an example of the necessities
of an extreme Casa very apathet1c
and unobservant child Usually it will
be sufficient to exhibit objects by lifting
them from the table and simultaneously
telling their names. This must be done
over and over again until the nerve
fibers and brain cells are stimulated in
to reader action and developed into full
er and more perfect performances of nor
NAL functions.
The imbecile child's brain is improved
in the same way as the biceps muscles
are more and more enlarged This is
done by the repeated use of small dumb
bells at first and then by the gradual
substitution of heavier and heavier
weights.
The tenure of human life is so short
that all that can be done for such ex-
treme types is to enthrone the olsen
throned moral sense. 1t would require
an eternity to tone up the five physical
senses. Nervous idiots are much more
promising pupils and show remarkable
mental Improvement in a short time.
But the physical senses are always i'm
proved with the improvement of the
moral sense. A child who has been
taught how not to be an animal indoors
will have more appreciation Of color,
and child who has learned not to cry
and scream on the slightest pretext will
have a far better regulated sense of
touch, smell and hearing. New York

GOODBY.

We say 1t for an hour or for years;
We say it smiling, say it choked with tears;
We say it coldly. say it with a kiss,
And yet we have no other word than this
"Goodby."
We have no dearer word for our hearts friend,
For him who Journeys to the worlds far end
And scars our soul with going; thus we say,
AS unto him who steps but DER our way
"Goodby."
Alike to those we love and those we hate,
We say no more in parting. At 1fe's gate.
TO him who passes out beyond earth's sight
We CRY as to the wanderer for a night

Or. in other words, Hoods Sarsapariila,
is a universal need. If good health is to
be expected during the coming season
the blood must be purified now. All the
germs of disease must be destroyed and
the bodily health built up. Hoods Sar-
saparila is the only true blood purifier

Therefore Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best

Il have found it imperative to have pure
and simple remedies on hand in case of
cuts, bruises, strains, sprains, colds, rheu-

my profession, discovered such a remedy
in ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs. l tried
other plasters, but found them too harsh
and irritating. ALLCocK's Porous PLAs-
TIERS give almost instantaneous relief, and
their strengthening power is remarkable
