The New Jersey law against profane
swearing has been In force for more
than two hundred years. The statute OF
which 1t Is n part has been revised
many times, but the clause prohibiting
profanity has remained unchanged.
Therefore It cannot be justly regarded
as one Of the blue laws" that were en-
acted long ago, and were permitted
through oversight to remain on the
books. The penalty is fine OF so cents
for each oath. Only few years ago n
man was fined $3.50 for a string OF
oaths There is, however. In every
State quite as effective n law against
profanity rs Is written In any statute.
II is not the rule of right. for those who
live rightly need no restraint against
the utterance OF oaths. 1t Is the unwrt-
ten enactment OF good society that
there is no longer any such thing as
swearing like n gentleman" Gentle
men do not swear. and even their imi.
tators avoid swearing.

An epidemic OF suicides has been pre-
yailing for some time In Chill. and II
has been decided finally by the news
papers OF Valparaiso and Santiago to
suspend the publication OF all details
respecting these crimes in the hope that
they may become less frequent. This
action Is taken probably because OF the
power OF suggestion contained In these
tragedies. 1t has been pointed out Of
ten by scientists In this country that
almost all crimes Of a novel character
produce imitation or a series OF imita-
lions, and the fact has been demon
strated by the records OF the daily
press. The authorities In Chill appear
to have appreciated this tendency OF de-
generates In n practical manner and
have taken the one course that obvious
ly may be Instrumental In reducing TO
the smallest limits this suggestive char
acter OF one class OF crime. In all 9TH
er crimes excepting that OF self-de-
structlon there are other important
considerations that weigh on the side
OF certain degree OF publicity. but In

wise course In most Instances to eliml-

A Good Showing.
What a Reporter Learned About
a Certain Medicine.

From the Journal. Minneapolis, MINI.
There ia one proprietary medicine In
use in this city. the name Of which has
become q household word and that is
the preparation known as Pink Pills
for Pale People" Shakespeare said,
"a rose by any other name would smell
as sweet" That may be 80. but
pills put up by any other name would
not have the same attraction nor popu-
lar sales that Pink Pills have in Spo-
kane, Wash.
A representative of the Minneapolis
Journal started out the other day to in
vestigate the merits of this popular and
widely sold household medicine. The
evidence was on every hand. Hamil-
ton B. Merrill. young money loaner
Of Spokane. was seen by the newspaper
man. Mr.. Merrill made no secret Of
his remarkable cure by these little
pellets.

Pills?" he reiterated. IL should rath-
er think do, they have been blessing
to me. am not in the habit Of prais-
ing proprietary medicine, but l must
say that Pink Pills as far ~ my case
goes have no equal in the world. A
little over year ago began siling and
commenced to lose flesh rapidly. The
doctor told ms to stop smoking; this l
did, but the result was even worse.
Ny heart beats decreased to less than
forty a minute l was prescribed for
by my doctor. but without receiving
any benefit whatever. l continued
daily to grow worse and my parents be-
came alarmed over my condition. Some
one suggested Pink Pills; thought l
would try them anyway. And tell
you cannot endorse them too highly;
they worked like charm in my case.
My heart soon became normal again.
my flesh increased and felt like new
man. To tell you the truth am still
taking them. l have sort OF fond
ness for them yet and l am loath to
give them up.
~ know Of a young lady living in
this city, whose condition was even
worse than mine. she took Pink Pills
and is one of society's gayest young
ladies now. l wish l we're at liberty
to give her name. as am sure she would
only be too delighted to give them a
hearty send off. | believe Pink Pills
cannot be too highly recommended.
They are gems, indeed. J."
Mr.. Merrill is young man OF 22 or

Cars reception In Paris was the ex-
change OF courtesles between the Mus
coyite autocrat and the President OF

meeting WAS the coming together OF the
very extremes OF governmental pollty.

something more significant than queer
official fellowship in this unprecedent-

For when Pan had nearly
Touched her, wild to plead.
She was gone-and clearly
In her place q reedl
Long the god, unwilling,
Through the valley strayed
Then at last, submitting,
Cut the reed, and made,
Deity fashioned, seven
Pipes, and poured his pain
Unto earth and heaven
In n piercing strain.

Pleasure still from wrong,
And with smiling sorrow
Turn II to a song.
