She Never Kinaed.

f'I reckon if wus to ketch my daugh- ter kissin of a man I'd just natchelly cut him into mince meat ground fine, !" said the old man from the sWRmps of the Bracken hills.
 .'Then your daughter won't kiss the boys?" yentured a Dover youth with speotacles.
 "Well, reckon not. young man" and the old man gave him a look that dazzled his specs.
 "But-ah, you know, some girls who are engaged-you know some times kiss their = their - boys you know-and-it' all right and proper and"-
 The old man looked at him real hard, and, after watching the youth wilt like a tobacco leaf in an August sun, thun- dered out, Well, my daughter never kissed Twin man, not even her pap ner poodle dog, ner cat, ner nothin. "
 ''But there's no harm-and why-er why -e er?'' stammered the brave youth.
 "Well, I reckon the most principalist reson why my daughter never kissed nothin is that never had any daugh- ter" ....
 And the thoughtful silence of the young man was so dense that you could hear the price of farm lands drop quiet ly, drop by drop, while the farm prod uots hanging in the tobacco shed tier by tier.-Cincinnat Enquirer

WHY ATTEMPT TO CURE catarrh by the use of so-called blood remedies? That catarrh is not caused by blood troubles is self-evident when you reflect that attacks are always due to sudden climatic changes or exposure, and occur most frequently during the winter and spring, though the blood is as pure then as in summer or fall. A remedy which quickly relieves and cures the catarrhal attacks has been found ill Ely's Cream Balm.

The Future of Germany.

No one can prophecy the future of Germany. But so much at least seems clear-that it will largely depend on the course pursued by the socialists. Three alternatives seem open to them-they may indefinitely continue their present opposition to the government, and then they can only be source of weakness, or they may absorb the empire, trans forming it into feudal state, fatal to liberty and therefore unstable, or they may, in return for certain timely con- sessions, place their powerful organiza- tion at the service of the empire and be it's chief pillar of strength
 This is the cOnsummation that every friend of Germany and of humanity must devoutly wish. It would bring ad- vantage to both sides and put an end to autocracy. The empire would have to abandon it's attempt to return to me- diaval military despotism and allow it's subjects large liberty of thought, speech and action, while the socialists would have to abandon their notion of the state as a mere economic beehive and accept it as the great institution for raising man above slavery to physical needs in- to spiritual freedom and culture In this way Germany might be strong without being enslaved, and the present condi- tion of things, against which all thoughtful men rebel, might come to an end.

Haroio rreat,nent of Patlents.

The hospital physician should be a man of the most thorough methods and the most extreme conservatism. He should be chosen as much for his prac- tioaI good sense as for his skill in diag- nosing disease. He should be man with munitions and ought to be able to decide almost at a glance whether pa tient Is suffering from brain trouble or alcoholism.
 There have been of late great many instances where this mistake has been made. and it is by no means creditable to the hospital authorities when such blunders are made.
 One of the latest exploits of hospI- tal doctor was to order 8 cold bath for a consumptive patient who showed some symptoms of hysteria. Shortly after the bath the woman died. Just why doc- tor should order such treatment com mon sense as we'll as the medical pro- fession would like very much to know
 Hospitals are in the main supported by the people, and the people have right to good treatment and courtesy at the hands of those who are put In charge of such institutions. Failing to receive this, the public has also the right to demand an investigation of the situation and to demand the punish ment of those who are guilty of such unprofessional and inhuman conduct and that their places be filled by those who are more intelligent and better fit ted for the duties and responsibilities Oi such a place.

A Joke on an Englishman

Years and years ago, when the Press
club, Of more or less blessed memory,
was in existence, British newspaper
man-only they callit a journalist on the
other side-was at the club one evening.
He had been in Washington for some
time and was leaving next day. Mr..
Karl Decker made a speech to him.
''Mr. So-and-So," he said, you have
spent some time with us and you have
made many friends. We have become
attached to you. You are going away to-
morrow and we may never see you again,
but in order that you may always have
something by which to remember us, on
behalf Of the Press club present you
this ring"
And then he struck the call bell on the
reading table near him. The English
man looked just trifie bewildered for
bit; then he reached out his hand,
thanked the club and pocketed the bell.
And-bless his simple English hearth
next morning he told another newspaper
man how kind the Press club had been
to him, and what a lovely presentation
speech Mr.. Decker had made. "Mr.
Decker must have been awfully nervous,
you know" he said, though he didn't
show 1t, for he said: I present you this
ring and. don't y know, it wasn't a
ring at all, it was beIl."-Washington

FUTURE BUILDING MATERIAL
Nickel Steel Lighter and Stronger
Than Any Other in Use

Nickel steel is considered the building
material of the future. 1t Is produced
by the combination of iron and nickel,
and the principal condition for sue
cessful alloy is the purity of the nickel
used. The latter metal Is found mostly
in Canada and New Caledonia, and the
reduction of the ore has been, of late,
greatly simplified. Most of the New CAL
edonia product is smelted in Germany,
while that from Canada is exclusively
exported to England and the United
States. Nickel steel, while somewhat
lighter in weight than steel, ie two or
three times as strong; its power of re-
sis'tance and its resiliency also exceed
those of STEEL These properties per-
nit a considerable saving in dime nrlons.
and thereby In weight and in cost, as
compared with similar constructions Of
ordinary steel. Its principal uses are
armor plate for men-of-war, boiler
plates. especially those for marine
engines; screw propellers for ships;
wires for submarine cables. also wires
for rheostats, etc., on account of their
rels and guns: the more important
parts Of locomotives and pins and coup
lings of railroad cars. Quite recently
nickel steel has been employed in the pro-
duction Of bicycles and German wheel
built of this material and tested for its
strength compared favorably to bicycles
made OF common steel, while its weight
was less than two-thirds Of the latter,
or twelve and three-quarter pounds
