A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is confounded by many persons with a severe attack of catarrh, which in some respects resembles the former. These individuals suffer se- verely with pain about the forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness in throat and in fact are incapacitated for work of any kind for days at a time. These are catarrhal sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used with the best re- cults in such cases. The remedy will give instant relief. j29 cod St 1tw

Some Famous Men Whose Childhood Was

Some Famous Men Whose Childhood Was
rs Remarkable as Their Maturity.
Sir Christopher Wren was prodigy
in youth, as in maturity. Oughtrcd, the
first mathematician of his day, declares
in the preface to his great book that an
ingenious boy, gentleman commoncr
at Wadham," had enlarged the sciences
of astronomy, gnomonics, statics and
mechanics by most brilliant discov-
cries, 'praeclaris inventis. This was
Wren at the age of 10. A year before
that he had taken out a patent for an in
strument to write with two pens at the
same time. In the same year he was ap-
pointed demonstrating assistant Oh anat-
omy at Surgeons hall.
Wren lived to Justify his early prom
ise, but Dugal Stewart tells us of a hoy
who, as he hoped, would rival the
fame of Sir Isaac Newto This was
the son of Count Pusgstall II cannot
help considering him. wrote the
Scotch professor, las the most extraor-
dinary prodigy of intellectual endow-
ment that has ever fallen under my
knowledge" " This is great saying in
deed from Dugal Stewart, who was not
given to enthusiasm nor careless express
sion.
Unfortunately we have no detailed
information about the youths acquire
ments in later years He died at 10 of
general decay apparently. But Mr.. Le-
maistre met him in his travels and pub
lished an account in 1906, the boy be-
ing then years old. He sits ON car
pet, surrounded by his books, and when
the gravest and most acute remarks fall
from the lips of this little person a
spirit seems to speak rather than child,
and the fine expression which sparkles
on his countenance tends to strengthen
the idea.
Among other tests, Mr.. Lemaistre
asked him to make a map of the Vene-
tian empire, which he did with accuracy.
Those competent to judge the fact will
readily believe that the child of years
who performed it was an animated mir
acle. The French armies barred nearly
every road in Europe to an English
traveller at that date. Mr.. Lemaistre
asked how he could get home without
touching Hanoverian, French or Dutch
territory. The child INSTANTLY traced

CURIOUS WEDDING CUSTOMS.
Some Odd Phases of Social Life In North
ern Michigan.

ern Micn1Sau.
Many curious customs are III vogue
among the foreign population of north
ern Michigan, especially i'll social mat
ters. When a French couple get mar
ried, a carriage or a sleigh ride is in
evitable, according to the season of the
year. The couples are not packed to-
gether i'll one wagon or sleigh, but each
fellow and his girl have an individual
rig the bride and groom taking the lead
and the others following like funeral
procession, but there is nothing funereal
about it, especially the pace set After
the procession has been riding for hours,
dance ends the festivities.
The Polanders have a curious we'd
ding custom that is very ingenious as a
money getter, and takes the place of
wedding presents. After the wedding
feast follows a dance that sometimes
lasts 10 to IA hours, and even longer.
The chief honor is to dance with the
bride, and this is decided in a curious
manner. The mother of the bride takes
her place in one corner with a plate in
her lap, which she takes very good care
shall be built after the plan of an eat
ing house coffee cup. The gallant who
wants to dance with the bride, and all
are in honor bound to do so at least
once, must pull out piece of silver and
endeavor to chip or break the plato by
throwing their money upon it, and only
those who succeed in chipping or break
ing the plate are allowed the coveted
honor. Let those who think it easy to
break an ironstone plate try it. Few
succeed in doing it for less than so
= cents, and it is not an unusual thing for
the brides money to amount up to $75
or 500, even where the crowd is ap-
parently as poor as church mouse, and
it may go even higher when the bride is
pretty and popular. All the money goes
to the bride, and in backwoods coun-
try $50 to $75 will start happy couple

"Ioor vltE WRONG MEDICINE"
Why This Headline So Often Appears In
the Daily Newspapers.

1t is an odd trait in human nature
that man who has been ordered by his
physician to take paregoric will never
take it if thero is any carbolic acid or
prussic acid in the house that hS can
absorb in preference.
Statisticians who have studied tho
thing declare that an invalid will search
the whole house for poisonous drug
and drink it rather than the me lcine
ordered by the doctor. Tho death no.
tices in the newspapers in cases of that
kind are generally headed, Took the
Wrong Medicine.
evening, and glancing Oh the bureau
saw bottle of liquid that he hal been
ordered by the doctor to take.
'"That looks like the stuff, -" said he,
"but Pm not sure. As was locking up
the cellar l saw behind an old shelf a
blue bottle that looked as if it hadn't
been touched for years. 1t said OH it,
'Sulphuric Acid. Now that bottle on
the table looks exactly like the ono l
drank out of last night, but still have
an idea that the stuff down in the cellar
is what the doctor means for me. |
don't know how the dickens it got down
there when it's meant for me to take,
or how this bottle that isn't meant for
me to take got on this bureau. But I'm
not going to take any chances. I'll just
go down into the cellar and make sure,
and I'll throw this stuff out of the win
dow"
Then he cautiously went down stairs
and took the sulphuric acid, and he
was buried in due form after an ambu-
lance surgeon had done his best and the
coroner's physician had made COM
plete investigation and autopsy.
1t isn't only children who make these
blunders. Doctors will tell you that they
have only to label bottle Lotion, For
External Application Only" to make
sure of its being drunk. If patient
gets bottle of corrosive sublimate to
put on a felon on his great toe and
doesn't use it all, he will carefully save
it. Ten years afterward doctor gives
some cough mixture to him, and then he
goes and hunts up the corrosive subli-
mate bottle, plays three card monte with
it and the cough mixture, gets them
thoroughly mixed up so that he can t tell
one from the other, and then when he
feels that tightness across the chest that
the doctor told him about he swallows
part of the corrosive sublimate and
leaves his widow to collect the life
insurance. By no accident is the cough
mixture ever taken-it is always the
corrosive sublimate. New York Her.

MUTILATlON OF DOGS.
Ear and Tail Cropping and the Operation
Known as "Worming."

Ear and Tail Cropping and the Operation
Known "Worming."
The fashionable mutilations to which
the dog has been subjected are three in
number-ear and tail cropping, and the
strange operation known as worm
ing" Though the law prohibits the
performance of the operations which
lead to these mutilations, yet at least
two of them are still carried out surrep-
titiously, and the third, "worming, ~
may also be practiced At any rate
have seen it done i'll my young days. 1t
and the tail cropping can boast of a
venerable antiquity, and they also had
their raison d'etre in superstitious be-
lief in their efficacy in preventing mad
ness or rabies. So long as the time of
Columella, the Roman writer on agri-
culture, the mutilation of the dogs tail
was popular and favorite procedure.
AS he tells us In his "De Re Rustica"
that the shepherds believe that if, ON
the fortieth day after the birth of pup,
the last bone Of its tail were bitten off,
the sinew (believed to be worm) would
follow the piece, after this the tail
would not grow and the dog could not
become rabid
This superstitious notion has prevailed
for ages, and may still be entertained
in certain quarters However this may
be, the fashion of removing portion Of
the tail of many breeds of dogs is quite
common, and if it is done with view
to the prevention of madness, it is at
any rate considered most desirable for
these animals to have short, blunt tail,
because it improves their appearance.
Some dogs have scarcely any tail left.
l have seen grooms and dog fanciers bite
off puppies tails as matter of bust
ness, and some of these people have
shown me fragment of sinew attached
to the amputated portion as the "worm
in the tail. "
1t should be noted, in speaking of this
fashion, that mongrel dog has been
termed eur" (Latin curtus, or crop
tailed, because it usually had the tail
shortened, and according to ancient for
est laws, a man who had no right to the
privilege of the chase was obliged to
cut off the tail of his dog on the plea
that, if a dog has no tail to act as
rudder. he cannot hunt game. Nine

DON'T TUB TOO MUCH.
Professor Cheeky Advances the Idea That
1t Is Injurious,

1t Is Injurious.
Bathing and the use of SOAP" says
Professor Cheeky, "is 40 per cent more
injurious to the human race than any
other form of stimulation to which peo-
pie are addicted. If l should bathe
man in proportion as much as he drank,
I'd kill him in one-half the time This
is called the age of hurry and feverish
excitement; critics complain that people
are unwilling to take time for any
thing. AS a matter of fact, hours of
precious time are worse than wasted
daily in the bathroom. If men would
preserve their health, there are three
things they must do-first, leave soap
alone; second, get the skin loose from
the tissues of the body; third, get rid of
the idea that regularity in the matter of
sleep and meals is necessary to physical
well being"
What are the objections to the use
Ct soap?" asked reporter to whom the
professors original views were reve-
lation.
There are vital objections, was the
reply. "The skin, it is acknowledged,
bears most important relation to the
body. First, it acts as n protective
agent, covering the sensitive tissues o.
the flesh. Second, it acts as tho agent
of the mind, conveying all sensations
of heat, cold, friction and the like
Third, it directly aids all the other or
gans of the body, taking up the work of
each In turn when for any reason they
become unable to perform their func-
tions. The skin assists all the organs of
secretion and excretion in the entire
system, and for that reason great atten-
tion should be paid to keeping it in
healthy condition. Although realizing
its important functions, people, instead
of protecting this wonderful covering
of theirs, try by every means in their
power to destroy it, Soap does not
cleanse the skin. When the skin is dirty,
it is unhealthy, and the organs within
the body can never be cleansed by all
the soaps in the world. The only stains,
blots, etc, Oh the surface of the skin
that people need to get rid Of cannot
be removed by soap Some other chem
ical ointment or fluid has to be resorted
to to obliterate them. AS far as regards
the dust and dirt which naturally ad-
here to the body, dust and dirt, being
earthly and material, are much better
brushed off than washed off, and soap
does not aid in the process. "-Philadel-

To Start the Story,

In writing story there arc authors
who do not plan the course of events in
advance because they do not know
them, but they writo on, certain that
some ingenious complication will sug-
gest itself-in short, the story is to
write itself
l confess believe in and rather fol-
low this system, for tho reason that tho
incidents seem moro like real life
where the unexpected so often happens,
and where events turn up in capri
cious way. However this may be, l havo
always found that everything depends
on getting well started-that is started
with such eagerness and enthusiasm
that you could sit down then and there
and write on and on to the end
Others deliberate and potter, as it
were, hover Oh the brink, hesitating to
make the plunge. The moment of de-
parturo is put off and put off, and when
at last a start is made it becomes task
and a drudgery and is virtually no start
at all, because it is so labored and unin-
spired that you feel you have not be-
gun. Memoirs of an Author" Percy
Fitzgerald.
