Good to Eat.
The Seattle Times prints this inter-
esting letter from a Elondiker:
Dear Friend: You can surprise the
dear people of Casper by telling them
that am worth $4,000, and that next
summer will start back to buy the
town. Some people will want to kiss
me when | get back who wanted to

up here, but it is worth making if
money is what a man wants. 1t is the

much money that people don't seem to
Gaze for it.

LOSES HER TEETH.
Peculiar Misfortune of an Aged Col
ored Woman In Chicago.

"Aunty" Roberts, of Englewood, a
suburb of Chicago, bears the distinc-
ton of being one of three plantation
reared colored women in America who
use false teeth. That is, she did bear
that distinction until Thursday, when
she lost her teeth, three of them gold
mounted, in Washington park, and a
scorcher carried them off.
"Aunty" inserted an advertisement
in newspaper asking for the return
of the teeth to an Englewood drug

mnd Cats Worse Than Mad DOGS.


According to the returns just pub
lished by the Pasteur institute at Paris,
fully ten per cent. of the patients treat
ed there owe their injuries to the bites
of cats afflicted with hydrophobia.
These wounds are considered by the
medical officers in attendance to pre-
sent a greater degree of danger than
the bites of mad dogs, not because there
is any difference in the virus, but be-
cause, in the first place, the teeth of
cats, being more pointed than those
of dogs, infict deeper wound, and
also because a mad dog usually fastens
his fangs into the arm, the hand OF
the leg, while cat invariably jumps
for the face of the person it attacks
The nerve centers are far more ex
| posed in the face than in either the
arms or legs, and hence the virus en-
tiers into the circulation more rapid
ly by means of bite in the face thar
through one elsewhere in the body. i
may be added that the returns of thu
Pasteur institute for the last year show
that one Der cent. of the patients WIT

FASHION AMONG SAvAGES.
Queer Things That strange People
Do in Various Parts of the World.


Modesty in dress, more than any
other virtue, varies with the latitude
and longitude. The Samoans, for eN-
ample. have come to look upon thewear-
ing of clothes as a religious function in
consequence of the efforts of the mis-
sionaries to make the natives dress
themselves. So that it is a common
sight at Sunday morning service to see
the Samoan women take their seats
decorously clad in Mother Hubbards,
and after the service is over walking
home with their Mother Hubbards on
their arms.
1t is considered immodest for Chi
nese women to let their small feet, &C.
quired by such painful torture, be seen
peeping out from underneath their
dress. Any Chinese picture which
shows feet of this kind is considered
positively indecent by the Celestials. In
some other parts of Asia it is considered
immodest for a woman to show the
ends of her fingers, while among Ma
hometan women of Arabia, who are
closely yelled, exposing the back of the
neck in an emergency is held to be a
much greater breach of decorum than
displaying the face.
For caribbean woman to go out OF
the hut without being painted with
arnotto is to transgress all the native
rules of decency. The Tassai women OF
New Guinea wear two or three petit
coats, one over another, and nothing
else. If the native women of Sumatra
have their knees properly covered the
rest does not matter, while the native
women of some parts of Alaska, who
have been induced to remove the
heavy ornament which hangs from their
lower lip, act as if they were much
ashamed and embarrassed.
The Maoris of both sexes in New
Zealand put on clothes when the
weather grows cold, while the natives
of some islands off the coast of Guinea
wear clothes only when they are going
on Journey. Some Indians of Venezue-
la are ashamed to wear clothes before
strangers, as it seems indecent to them
to appear implanted.
"In Tahiti" says Sir John Lubbock,
"a person not properly tatttoed would
be as much reproached and Stunned as
if with us he should go about the streets
naked" The Papuans of the south,
west coast of New Guinea think that
clothing is fit only for women. In the
Andaman islands the women think the
same thing about the men.
The tyranny of fashion is as strong il
Greenland as it is in Paris. The main
spring of everything the Greenlander!
do, according TO Cranz, is their fear o
being blamed or Knocked by other men

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its
Excessive Use


Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
it was never intended for a medicine,
and people who use it as such will
some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
a habit which thousands of people prac-
tice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover the soda
only gives temporary relief and in the
end the stomach trouble gets worse and
worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
il accumulated in the intestines, caus-
ing death by Inflammation or peritoni
It's.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia an excellent prepara-
tion sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 20 grain .ozelges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the natural
acids. peptones and digestive elements
essential to good digestion and when
taken after meals they digest the FOOD
perfectly and promptly before 1t has
time to ferment, sour and poison the
blood and nervous system.
DIR. Wuerth states that he. invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets IN al
cases of stomach arrangements ana
finds them a certain cure not only Tor
stomach. but by promptly digestlng the
food they create a healthy appetite, in
crease the flesh and strengthen the
action of the heart and liver. They are
not cathartic, but intended only 1or
stomach diseases and weaknesses ana
will be found reliable in any stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
