gives me great pleasure to state that 1 at once began to feel its beneficial effects.
 My appetite, winch had failed me, re- turned, my constipation ceased, and very sUon my liver became norm in It's action. Following this my sleepleSsness and head aches ceased, and I began to gain flesh. The insldious hold on me that the grip had hitherto had was relaxed, and felt invig orated and strengthened, so could resume my vocation, and feel free from tbe lan- guild. enervated feeling that had so long possessed me.
 My friends were pleasantly surprised with the change in my condition, and was only too happy to recommend Palne's celery compound to such of my acquaint- ances as were suffering from any of the complaints which so complicated my case. Therefore, 1 again say feel impelled by deep sense of gratitude to express how much l have been he ped, for l now feel and look like new man"
 Physicians who rely on Paine's cel'ry compound-as thousands of the most wide awake members of the profession are doing, especially now that nearly every ore feels the need of a genuine spling remedy physicians know very well what that ianguor and that tired feeling means. They know that dehiIty today often re- suits in nervous prostratiOn tomorrow, unless the tied system is quickly invlg- Orated.
 That is why all over the country today Paine's celery cnmpOund is being taken by the advice of skilled pysicians. It is the one remedy that physicie ms can cOnscien- tiOusly call genuine spring remedy. Try it.

AUsTRlA'S eARBERS.
They Must Be Apprenticed Three Years
 and Pass Examination.

and Pass Examination.
 The Austrians take no chances with their barbers. They must be good, and the Barbers and Wigmakers' union of Vienna sees to it that they are. Provi- sion is also made in their code for wom- en barbers who desire to carry on the business of their husbands in case of the latters' death or illness.
 But in order to do this the wife must have been enrolled in the union as an apprentice for three years. Apprentices, by the rules of the union, must appear in Vienna in the presence of judges ot the union and show their skill before they are allowed to open shops of their own
 A properly certified barber must have knowledge of and pass an examination in shaving, hair cutting, hair curling and wigmaking, and during the period before the issuance of a certificate the poor and others who are frugal serve as subjects for experiment.
 At the examination the young men have their razors dulled by four strokes in pine plank, and they must then sharpen them. A subject is assigned to each, who must be tonsorially perfect, in the opinion of the judges, when the apprentice has released him.
 After this a certificate is issued and the apprentice serves two years as a journeyman before he may open shop as an emplover. The average age of ap- prentices when they begin to learn theil trade is IS years.-St. Louis Post-Dis- patch.

The Diminishing Alligator.

The alligator is being reduced in size steadily. Tourists used to hear about alligators 21 feet in length. A gentle man who is a naturalist as we'll as a sportsman is proud of having killed a 'gator measuring 8 feet 9 inches, and he believes a story about another nearly 15 feet long, but he does not expect that this generation will ever see an alliga- tor over 16 feet in length. This retroces- sion from the pictures ill the geography of childhood is due to no fault of the al- ligator, but to the presence of unimagi- native northerners. The gators are as big as they ever were; it is only the sto- ries that have grown smaller.

RIDING A WHEEL OF GOLD.
Lillian Russell Now Has a Bicycle to
 Match Her Hair.

About a year ago an Eastern wheel manufacturer presented Lillian Rus sell, the comic opera beauty. with a bi- cycle which was lavishly plated with gold. This machine has now given place to one made by a Western firm. The new wheel is much more expensive than the one discarded, the cost being put at 400. Every part of the wheel which could be plated has three layers of gold, and the value of the bullion used in the plating process was $500. In general appearance it is not unlike other wheels of the '96 models. There are. however, two exceptions, both of which emanated from suggestions made by the diva when she was in the West recently with her company. One is in the saddle, which is somewhat smaller than the average lady's saddle, and has concealed in the rear set of springs. Again, the handle bars arc nearer the rider than ordinarily. This is accomplished by having the bar which runs from the drop trifie short CT and inclined toward the rider at a greater angle. Another feature of the machine is the total absence of guards of any kind. Every part of the wheel has Miss RusselPs name engraved ON it. This even extends to the delicate spokes, each of which is emblazoned with the owners name on the triple plating of gold. The rims are, of course, devoid of plating. They are made of curly maple and polished to brilliancy. The cyclometer was included in the plating, as was also the lamp, which, by-the-by, is lighted with electricity from a small but strong storage bat tery.

Boys Lies.

It has remained for an English judge to officially and legally establish the ruling that lying is not wrong, at least it is not sufficiently immoral to justify an employer in dismissing a servant. An east end shopkeeper discharged his errand boy, who sued him for a weeks wages in lieu of notice. The man justi- fled himself by saying that he found that the boy told lies.
 "Nonsenser remarked Judge Bacon, "All boys tell lies, more or less It is a habit that is not confined to them"
 "But it is wicked, pleaded the shop keeper.

4 Boys Compliment.

It was at Narragansett hotel, where Mrs Yznaga, the mother of the Duch- ess of Manchester and Lady Lister-Kaye, was spending the summer. There was the usual crowd of children ill the house, who were all gathered in their own particular parlor one rainy day playing a game the dramatis person@ of which included queen.
 ''So the queen went and stayed at a boarding house." said one child, con- tinuing her majesty's adventures. An other, with more definite idea of the habits of royalty, expostulated. "Queens don't go to boarding houses," she said.
 "Mrs. Yznaga's here and she's a queenr" retorted little boy trium- phantly And he really thought it. Exchange

When Economy Economizes.

''Will it pay?' should be the first question asked when looking over the old clothes with view to making over. Time should be considered first, and if it can be put to better use then let the garment go and buy new one. If time will permit, then consider whether the garment will look well enough when completed to be satisfactory. Will it have shabby, made over look, and, if so, will a quantity of new material re- move that objection? Then consider the expense of the new goods, make a few figures if necessary, and, once deciding that it is a paying investment, rip, cleanse and make, with a hearty faith in the good results.
