'A'e- Latest Absolutely Pure
Punished For Their wickedness.

The st. Andrews fishermen are sup
posed, no doubt enormously, to be less
venturous than others. A year or two
ago they retrieved their fame by very
gallant conduct in an unseaworthy life
boat. However, their marine neighbors
tell this tale:
Many years ago there was a violent
storm on 22d of November. A wreck
came in; the fishers boarded it, found
some sailors still alive and "made six
kerr by drowning them. Then they
seized the cargo and fell in luck. The
anniversary, Nov. %, was a bright,
still, halcyon day, and the blue bay was
covered with brown sails. Not one came
home to the rocky chink which does
duty as harbor. A fierce storm arose,
and the fishing feet perished. Conse-
quently new and more or less high
land colony. mainly Of Chisholmes, came
in, and never were such good men as
the lost sailors of Fife. For long the un-
holy day of November was a holiday,
nobody daring to so forth to sea.
Such is the legend, which may have
no historical basis. In any case Fife
fishers and the east coast men generally
are considered to be better in boat
than the west highlanders, and Fife en-
terprise and capital might have left us
a more prosperous isle of Lewes.-Lon-

Mrs. Pender-Cudlip, the English nov

ads on the dining-table. "Any dishes
or plates answer the purpose, but for
preference grow them in old, quaint
shaped delft and china dishes, and this
makes them exceptionally ornamental.
The mode of growing them is simplicity
itself. Lay piece of white flannel or
1annelette cut to the shape at the bot
tom of the dish or plate; wet it well,
and sow on it rather thickly, water
cress, mustard, Or curled cress seed.
The water cress takes rather longer to

tenn works incessantly. Poor sleep
means a poor nervous condition, and
prolonged insomnia leads in every case
to p-estration, and too often to dread
insanity. The mischief that results
from weakened nerves is much greater
and more destructive than most folks
even dream Of.
The all-important thing for nervous,
rundown persons, and for those who
are losing sleep is that Paine's celery
compound builds up the whole physi-
cal system, and by improving the di-
gestion and regulating the nerves it in
sures sound, refreshing sleep. In win
ter most women and many men lead
hothouse lives. A tagging appetite,
a disposition to pick at this dish and
that, rather than to eat square meal,
is among the early indications Of fail
ing health. Then comes delay in fall
ing asleep and the fretful, uneasy feel
ing the next day.
Deliverance from such a miserable
condition by the use of Paine's celery
compound has caused men and women
from every section Of the United States
to write sincere, hearty words of praise

Ehe Anglo-Saxon sufixes "kin" and
"cock" were used as diminutive or en-
dearing forms Of personal names, just
as the Normans used the suffixes set, I"
"ot, ""en" and ION. F" Thus from Hitch,
itself diminutive of Richard, we get
the surnames Hitchkin, Hitchcock,
Kitchens and Hitchison. Any common
baptismal name affords a number of
such variants, which became fixed as
patronymics or surnames. There are,
for example. at least 10 different forms
of William available for that purpose.

For the unfortunates who lie awake,
staring at the ceiling and counting the
strokes of the clock, every sleepless
night is an eternity. Mrs. J. A. Sam
pie of 1868 Broadway, New York
city, was afflicted with insomnia until
her nerves were on the verge of pros.
tration. She thinks her condition was
due to indigestion. Here is what Mrs.
Sample says:
"I have used Paine's celery COM

arising from indigestion and poorly
nourished nerves.
81 should add that my grand-daugh-
ter, Vera Hafeigh, was SO thin and
puny at the age of ten as to cause the
greatest anxiety. We had no difficulty
in inducing her to take Paine's celery
compound. Today the roses bloom
in her cheeks, and never saw a
healthier, stronger child than Paine's
celery compound has made her."

A Famous French Duelist.


The late Marquis de l'Angle- -Beauma-
noir was in his younger days famous as
a duelist. One evening, meeting his
cousin, the Marquis du Hallays, in the
foyer Of the Opera, he walked up to him
and, in the course of conversation, re-
marked:
"Isn't it odd, my dear fellow, that,
quarrelsome as you and I are, we should
never have fought with one another?"
"That's true" replied Du Hallays,
"but that can always be remedied.
And on the strength of that, the two
cousins met in mortal combat on the
following morning, the encounter re-
sulting in the Marquis de l'Angle-Be
manoir having his right hand pierced by
his adversary's rapier, which, while it
rendered continuance of the fight i'm
possible, left the other hand free to
grasp that of his cousin in undiminished
friendship moment afterward. On an
other occasion, when he was about to
fight duel in which he was entirely In
the right and his adversary in the wrong,
he suddenly discovered that his opponent
was perfect novice in swordsmanship,
and that he would, therefore. have him
completely at his mercy. So he strobe
up to him and, in the presence Of 30 or
80 persons, presented the most courteous
and full apology. Almost dumfounded,
the latter inquired why the marquis
assumed such an extraordinary course.
Because, be returned, ''it would real
ly be too unfortunate if I were to fight
with mazette (greenhorn). And with
that he made low bow and then turned
his back upon him.-San Francisco Ar
gonaut.

LOVE AS CONSIDERED NOWADAYS.

There is no use of opposing love af-

the young and the old man. My first
experience was with young man, who
didn't know his mind and asked me
what he had better do, and I, like ia
ther, told him he'd better not marry
the girl he was courting. He went right
off and married her.
An old man from the country came
into the car where was reading my
morning paper and sat down at my side.

you ever court grass widder?"
"Oh, yes," I said. "I've courted a
dozen or more. Why?"

They do all the courting and generally
propose before you have courted them q

Waller, what's your opin 'n?"
"It is this-the man who marries
one is a jackass.''
The old fellow scratched his head for
a moment, and after he had got his idea
racked in the right spot he said: oval

BEAUTIFUL THOUGH PAINFUL.

We sing Come, Gentle Spring." and are
often very sorry that we did anything of
the kind, for Spring, though beautiful, is
sometimes very painful. The very luxury
we enjoy in the return of the balmy air is
the latent source of a great many pains
and aches. 1t is because the nerves are re-
Iaxed in this way that they become weak
and an easy prey to sudden attacks of neu-
ralgia; tonic of cold healthful air braces
them up and makes them strong against
any suck attack, but the sudden change to
warmth makes them liable to be preyed
upon by this disease. For this simple
reason the great nerve disorder has many
victims at this time, but we have in st.
Jacobs Oil something that restores the
tone, vigor and strength of the nerves to
what they had been. The prompt use of
it in these neuralgia attacks of spring time
is sure to be followed by perfect cure.

A MAN FOR AN EMERGENCY.
Surprising Experience In a Car of a Bo
Who Was Headstrong.

Surprising Experience In Car of a Boy
Who Was Headstrong.
A poorly dressed woman with boy
about years old boarded one of the
Union Trolley company's cars in White
vacant seat, and she grabbed strap in
front Of a young man and prepared to
hang on. The young man got up and
tipped his hat to her. Quick as flash
the boy dropped her hand and leaped in
to the seat oA his knees, taking care to
wipe his muddy feet on the clothing Of
the passengers on either side. The young
man looked first at the woman, for
whom he intended the seat, and then at
the boy. The woman shook her head
and said:
sPoor boyl Iguess he's tired. He can
have it, sir.
The young man looked from one to
the other again. He shifted about un-
easily for a moment The other passen-
gers in the car giggled. That decided
him. Holding to strap with one hand,
he reached for the boy with the other
and got him by the nape of the neck.
He lifted him clear of the seat and held
him dangling and kicking in the air.
The woman was about to protest. Then
she thought better of it and sat down in
the vacant seat.
Madam said the young man,
throwing the boy at her, "here is your
boy"
''Thank you, SIR" she said. "He is
a bit headstrong, it's true, SIR
The boy looked astonished. He whim-
pered little. The woman patted him
on the head, and there WASH t peep
heard from him from that time until
the Harlem bridge was reached and the
crowd got out.-New York Sun.

boy whether he would rather take a

piled that he would take the seventh.
At this the inspector explained at length
to the class that the boy who would
choose the smaller part as this boy had
done because it looked the larger frac.
