He wouldn.. BRING an Action.

There is story told Of avery eminent
advocate, now no longer with Ms, who
once, while endeavoring to dissuadea
friend from going to law. was asked
what he would himself consider a suff-
Gent ground for resorting to litigation.
my dear fellow" he replied, 81 do
not say that under no conceivable cir
cumstances would ! take proceedings
against any one, but do say that IL at
this moment you deliberately upset my
ink on the tablecloth, chucked my wife
out Of the window, threw that volumeof
reports at the bust Of Blackstone, made
hay with my furniture and finally
tweaked my nose. I should no doubt use
my best endeavors to kick you down
stairs, but, once rid Of you, either by
force or persuasion. no power on earth
should induce me to bring an action
against you. "-Westminster Gazette

Pasteur's carefuiness.

Once when Pasteur was dining with
his daughter and her family at her homo
in Burgundy he took care TO dip in a
glass of water the cherries that were
served for dessert and then to wipe them
carefully with his napkin before putting
them in his mouth. His fastidiousness
amused the people at table. but the sci
enlist rebuked them for their levity and
discoursed at length ON the dangers in
microbes and animacule. A few mo-
ments later, in fit of abstraction, he
suddenly seized the glass in which he
had washed the cherries and drank the
water, microbes and all, at a single
draft

sauaring tho Circle.

One of the problems that are as old az
the science Of mathematics is that Of
"squaring the circle" By squaring the
circle Is meant the problem of finding
the sides Of square exactly equal in
area to circle Of given diameter. To
do this. either by elementary geometry
or by expressing it automatically In
Commensurate numbers, has been found
70 be an impossibility. In other words,
the ratio between the diameter and the
circumference Of a circle cannot be ex-
actly found, even though in the division
the decimal be carried out to $1,000
figures. The above being the exact facts
In the case. we will say that the problem
OF "squaring the circle" is one that has
long been given up by the mathema-
ticians as insoluble. st. Louis Repub-

Coll Joseph L. Follett of New York has a national reputation.

 Since the war he has devoted himself to mechanical engineering, and has in vented several important improvements on the sewing machine and a bicycle that promises to be one of the surprises of next season. @i--5.sz
 The tension on the nervous system of an inventor, kept up for months and months, seriously weakened the health of busy brain worker like Colonel Follett, ands his constitution. which even the hardships of war did not weaken, threat ened tossuccumb to nervous exhaustion.
 WhatsColonel Follett has to say in re- gard to his restoration to health cannot fail to carry great weight In a letter to Wells & Richardson Go. of Burlington. Vt. he writes: -i''i .sl aH~a-
 "Whefi suffering from mental exhaus- tion and a generally disorganized sys- tenn, and overwork, I used Paines celery compound

in need of tonic and general regulator of the system. have recommended 1t to great many and everyone who tried it got relief.
 Tt is the best general remedy I ever used or knew anything about"
 When the nervous system has become weakened from any cause Paine's celery compound builds it up as nothing else can. It makes people well.
 People in every walk of life have req son to be grateful to Professor Phelps of Dartmouth college. the eminent scien- tist who discovered Paines celery com pound. He understood the peculiar needs of the nervous system; he knew that the backache. headache, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and disordered blood all mean that the nerves are weakened and inadequate to the demands upon them. The experience of thousan nds has proven all over this broad country that only Paines celery compound will give health to the nerves, and through them to the entire body
 Colleges conferred upon Dr. Phelps their highest honors for his invaluable Investigations in medicine, but all this seems insignificant In comparison with the chorus of gratitude that has gone up all over the world from men, women and children. who have outgrown weakness and the lack of health by the use of pane's celery compound the most won- derful nerve and blood restorative.
