1t is the greatest nerve invigorator'
blood purifier and regulator for the i'm
portant organs of the body that has ever
come to light.
The languor, the nervousness, and the
pain in the region of the heart or the kid
deys are cured by Paine's celery compound
because the origin of these disorders is
easily traced to an impoverished condi-
ton of the nerves and poor state of the
blood.
This great invigorator does nothing at
haphazard. Its aim is to feed the ex-
hausted nervous tissues as soundly and
rapidly as is consistent with healthy d.
digestion and assimilation, and step by
step with this building-up process all oyer
the body goes that other fully as vital
work of driving out every trace of vicious
humor and poisonous matter from the
blood.
In every case-and there are thousands
of such cases throughout the country
where Paine's celery compound has cured
rheumatism, nervous prostration, neural.
gla or that very common rundown
condition-in every case recovery has
been by this same building up process,
that omits no step in making the cure
lasting and for lifetime.

TROUBLE FOR HIS HONESTY.

The Negative Reward of Virtue In the

said Bailey, lighting fresh cigar. "It

but annoying from the misconstruction

A Sparrow Prima Donna.

M. Mingaud, a naturalist of Mines,
France, gives, in La Revue Scientifque,
an interesting account of the musical
accomplishments of a sparrow in his
collection of living birds. He captured
the sparrow soon after it had been
Matched and fed it by hand until 1t
could care for itself. Then he placed it
in cage containing chaffinch, gold
finch and two canaries After a time
the sparrow learned to MARBLE like the
finches and to trill like the canaries, the
limitations being so perfect as to deceive
the ear. In spring M. Mingaud is &C
customed to keep box of crickets near
his birdcages. Two days after the
crickets had been placed near the cage
containing the sparrow the latter began
to initiate their cry, intermingling it
with its songs. Even after the crickets
had long been dead the sparrow remem-
bred its lesson and continued to repeat
their cry. None of the other birds at
tempted to initiate the orickets. Singu-
larry enough, the sparrow never utters
the peculiar squalling cry Of its own
species, having been removed from its
nest too early, apparently, to have
learned il

LEAN MEAT.

1t Sometimes Contains as Much as Seven
ty-eight Per Cent of Water.
Lean meat, it may surprise many to
learn, is much more watery than fat
meat. This may be illustrated by the
statement that very lean meat may con-
tain as much as rs per cent of water,
while very fat pork may contain only
10 per cent. The flesh of fish is more
watery than ordinary butcher meat.
Thus salmon contains five-eighths of it's
total weight Of water, cod four-fifths
and founders six-sevenths.
Among the foods which may be cited
as containing but small percentage of
water, and consequently as dry food,
are flour and oatmeal, and sugar is a
food entirely devoid of it. The animal
body has often been aptly likened to a
machine, and, like all machines, it re-
qulres fuel to keep 1t working. Now
this fuel it obtains from the food which
we eat, and in default of food the ami
NAL tissue itself is drawn upon. Food,
therefore, keeps the animal body warm
and yields the muscular energy necessary
for the accomplishment Of the work
which the body does. In this capacity
the three classes of food nutrients may
all be concerned.
The value of food may be estimated
in terms Of the amount of heat it will
give rise to. The most concentrated food
fuel is fat. When fat is burned, it gives
rise to twice as much heat as is given
by the burning of either the albuminoids
or the carbohydrates. Fatty foods, there
fore, possess much greater heating
value than nonfatty foods. -PhiladeI-

OUR GIRLS AND RRlToNs.
Why American Maidens Are Tempted to
Wed Stolid En1lishmen

Why American Maidens Are Tempted to
Wed Stolid Englishmen.
Why does the American girl marry
the Briton? Has she any adequate JUS
LITIGATION? Do you suppose it pays her,
and can such a choice on her part be
defended on large grounds as promotive
of the greatest good of the greatest
number? Is it fact, as has been flip
PANTY suggested, that she moves to
England to get country life because we
have no good roads here yet, or, on the
contrary, can it be demonstrated that
one reason our country roads are SO bad
is that the American girl cannot abide
the country and promptly carries her
man off to town at the earliest moment
that sees his endeavors blessed with
the necessary income? Is it her fault
that country interests tend too much to
fall to the care of a residuum that is
too poor to get away, or has the coun-
try life not much to do one way or the
other with her British propensities?
To be honest, there are other con-
ceivable reasons for marrying an Eng
lish gentleman besides his country
roads. He may be a charming gentle
man-they are said to be SO once in
awhile-who can win a wife by plain,
personal courtship, and whom any wom-
an would be justified in marrying on
general principles and without specific
excuses, or he may be a good faver-
age" sort of man whose advantage
over his American brother is matter
of size or complexion or hale appear
ance. have known American women
who ventured to assert that the femi-
nine eye rejoiced more in the type of
male human that treads the pavements
of Piccadilly and Pail Mall than in the
contemporaneous pedestrians of Fifth
avenue and Broadway.
Or maybe it is his superior stolidity
that electrifies in the Briton. 1t is to
be feared that there is truth in that tale
Mr.. Kipling or somebody was telling
of how phlegmatic merchants Of the
east had discovered that the way to
beat the American was simply to put
him off and let him fret himself rock
less. Stolidity is not quite the same as
repose, but to persons who are suffering
from an acute dearth Of repose it may
appeal as tolerable substitute, so that
one can imagine an American maid,
worn with the restless aspirations of
her high pressure countrymen, turning
with sincere relief to pillow her fair
young head upon bosom behind which
lurked no threat of heart failure
