Mark Twain's Debts Paid

A letter received from Mark Twain by
a personal friend in New York. within a
few days, brings the pleasant news that
the eminent humorist is now ''out of the
woods financially. He has succeeded
in paying a.! his debts by money which
he has earned during the past two years.
This success shows what Mr.. Clemens
can do when he feels that he must. His
actual earnings since he went abroad
amount to $4,000, of which about $50
600 has been received for featuring, and
the remainder has been paid to him for
his writings. He has now the comfort
able prospects of a very large income
from his books during the remainder Of
his life, and the certainty that his family
will be we'll provided for. He is nat1l-
rally in Il very happy frame of mind,
and. although he has been suffering
somewhat from the govt since he has
been III Vienna. the removal of the bur
den of debt from his shoulders makes
the world seem vastly pleasanter to live
in The rapidity with which Mr.. Glenn
ems has paid off his obligations hy his
own efforts shows that there was nbso-

The Nervous Americans.

Americans are fearfully nervous
people. 1t takes less provocaton to
send the average American Into ner-
youS spasm than any other person on
earth. If there is nation which should
let stimulants alone we are the nation.
Veto say nothing Of liquor, as to which
we are no worse than Others-we are
insatiabl coffee drinkers. Yes, and the
practice helps fill our hospitals and pen
itentiaries. Why not drop coffee and
drink Ora mo instead? The latter does
not act on the nerves, while 1T does
nourish, warm, sOothe, cheer and build
UP the body. 1t gives you what you
need and does no harm. Prepared from
pure grain. Try it and you won't go
back to coffee. The whole family can
drink Grain-O, at night, too, il you like
then sleep soundly. Ask your grocer
for package; 15c. or DC. each.

WHERE SOLDIERS LIE.
French Have the Most Comfortable beus
of All.

The soldiers bed differs notably III the
different European armies. In England
the bed is hard; the soldier lies on UNI,
mattress that rests on canvas stretcheu
over = frame. In Spain the soldier has
only a straw bed. but he is allowed DC
sides this a pillow, two sheets, TWO
blankets and Il quilt. sometimes even
cover for his feet 1t is almost sybarltlc.
In Germany and Austria he has SIM
pie straw bed, with one or two covers ;
neither sheet nor mattress In huss!a
until recently the soldier slept with MS
clothes on, on a camp bed; but now or.
binary beds begin to be used-the result
of contact with more civilized countries.
After this it cannot be doubted that the
French soldiers bed is the best OF all,
with its wooden or iron bedstead, straw
bed. good mattress, sheets, broWh
wooden coycret and an extra quit Tor
cold weather. Thus the bed of the
French soldier is the softest of all sol.
diers' beds. as that of the French peasant
is acknowledged also to be the best or al

The Word Toast"

The word toast used for describing
the proposal of health in an after-din-
ner speech dates back to medieval times
when the loving cup was still regarded
as an Indispensable feature Of every ban
quet. The cup would be filed to the
brim with wine or mead. in the center
of which would he floating piece Of
toasted bread. After putting his lips
thereto the host would pass the cup u
the guest of honor seated on his right
hand, and the latter would in turn pass
It TO his right-hand neighbor. In this
manner the cup would circulate around
the table. each one present taking a sip
while drinking toward his right hand
neighbor. until finally the cup would
come back to the host who would drain
what remained and swallow the piece of
toast in honor of all the friends assem-
hled at his table

Elder Blossom Wine,

Mrs. w. B. NJ, of Sharon, Pa, sends
her recipe for this famous medicinal
wine. As it has been well tested it may
be added to the housekeepers' scrap book
without hesitation:
Take one quart elder blossoms, pour
over them one gallon boiling water. Let
stand till cool, then add three pounds of
2rauulated sugar. Let it come to the
boil. skim. then add one lemon cut fine
and two tablespoonsful of yeast. Let
stand twcnty-four hours. then put in bot
ties. This makes fine wine. The Older
il is the better.
In making this delicious wine it is very
important that fermentation ceases before
the bottles are corked tight. Ginger,
raisinS or brandy are often added. and
some recipes call for the white of egg 10
mike tie wine more clear.

A Dangerous Practice.

Young persons, especially young wom-
en-. who are particular about their per-
sonaI appearance, are given to much
worry over moles and similar facial blem-
iShes. and often resort to severe appll-
cations in the hope of removing them.
Their efforts are usually fruitless unless
they employ a surgeon. who makes a
clean and scientific excison. The dan
ger Of irritating these growths is not
generally understood. Several cases are
on record where accidental bruises have
resulted in spreading the growth. In one
instance the mole developed enormous
spreading tendencies, covering the entire
surface of the body. resulting finally in
death Physicians frequently warn their
patients that such bemishes should not
be interfered with, but rarely do they in
sist with sufficient earnestneSs. The fact
is that a mole is a potential sarcoma,
and if disturbed at all should be COM
pletely removed-New York Ledger.
