FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To Be a Benefactor TO
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
,yerfiows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
70 the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
~ which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man. suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence Of
untold misery. As the remedy in
question was the result Of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor-
ing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering
with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such remedy at
once. A request to II. @. Odds, Box
I74S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription
out of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use of the medicine by giving
1t a trial. will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in
formation came from
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr..
Odds can afford to give away his dis
covery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and
send to Mr.. Odds so that he may
know how you came to write him.

MODEST OLD ENGLAND.
She Says She's Not FooIishly Sensitive
Like Uncle Sam.

1t rs a little unfortunate that that
genial travelling inquisitOr, Ii Hung
Chang, was not warned as TO the limits
of American appreciation of humor be-
fore undertaking his visit to the United
States, observes the London World. In
common fairness he should have been
made to understand that Brother Jona-
than, by no means humorous person,
as a rule, is constitutionally incapable.
of appreciating any chaff leveled against
the institutions of his great and glori-
Gus country and demands unqualified
admiration, unmiXed even with the
friendliest criticism. from the stranger
within his gates.
In his ignorance of this popularity
it is only natural that the innocent Ii,
with his awkward questions and his
bland little sarcasms, should have put
his foot into it" in the most appalling
fashion on the other side of the At
lantic. His childlike inquiry about the
generals was bad enough, but worse
remained behind in a "candid friend"
reminder to his host that all that was
good in their country came from Eng
land
This seems to have been the last
straw, and now the luckless Ii is being
denounced as "murderous monster
who INDUCES in "senseless when not in
sulting questions and uncivil COM
ments." It seems that we understood
and appreciated the artless celestial a
good deal better in the old country.

MAY DISPLAcE ICE CHESTS.
Toledo People to Enjoy New System nj
RefrigeratIng.

Homer T. Yaryan, of Toledo, O., has
perfected a system of refrigerating
for residences which will be put in OPP
Grafton next summer and which will
be the first plant of its kind ever built.
Mr.. Yaryan is the president OF a
company which furnishes electric light
and hot water heating to a number OF
residences here by means Of central
stations. He will furnish an artificial
cold to take the place of ice by means
of a circulating brine which has been
reduced far below the freezing point
The brine will be conducted by copper
pipes through a triple conductor box
of wood, which is also an invention OF
Mr.. Yaryan and is claimed to be an
improvement over airy system of in
sulation which depends upon asbestos
or like substance.
Mr.. Yaryan states that his expert
ments have convinced him that he can
cause the brine to circulate to points
more than a mile distant. from the
central station without rise in temper
strre of more than five degrees. When
the brine reaches the householder 1t
will be made to circulate through eS-
posed pipes in refrigerators, or can be
used for cooling rooms by the use OF
overhead pipes. ...

GATHERING AQUARIUM STOCK.
How Live Fishes Are Selected and Pro-
pared for transportation.

Men experienced in gathering aquari-
I'm stock never ship fish long dis
tances Immediately after they are
caught, if it can be avoided; the NOR
tality is almost sure to be great among
stock so shipped. By whatever means
a fish has been captured, says the New
York Sun, it is likely to have been more
or less excited and it may have suffered
some injury which would make it liable
to attack by fungus. 1t is the practice
when possible to place the newly
caught fish in fish cars or in some other
Suitable place at or near the shore in the
vicinity of where they We're caught,
where they may be rested for the jour
ney, accustomed under favorable con-
ditions to captivity, and accustomed to
feeding, and where the weak or injured
fishes may be weeded out.
In this way only good and sound fish
are finally started, and these are start
ed in the best possible condition. Fishes
thus selected and prepared are far more
likely to get through all right, and
such fishes are, of course, far more like
" to survive in an aquarium.

The social butterfly is really not so much
an idler after, all. She works hard. She
keeps late hours. She manages a house
hold-plans entertainment for her guests
superintends the buying of furniture, the
making of dresses, the ordering of dinner;
is worried by her social duties, by servants,
by thousand things, and with it all she
must perform the duties of wifehood and
motherhood. Is it so very wonderful that
her health fails2 1t fails as other women's
health fails. The beginning is some slight
arrangement of functions peculiarly femi-
nine. From the beginning the progress of
disease is swift and appalling, unless it is
quickly checked. The frightful prevalence
of "female weakness" over thirty years
ago caused the invention of DR.. Pierce's

IMMIGRATION QUESTION.
A Practical Test Supplied by New Yorl
Factory.

A Practical Test Supplied by q New York
Factory.
She was a shirtmaker, writes Mary
Gay Humphreys, in Scribner's. The
girls had the trade in their own hands,
and made good wages. First one black
bearded man got in and he brought his
brother and his son. Soon the room
was half filed with men in shiny clothes
and big black boards, who brought their
celations. The girls first objected be-
cause they made the factory towel so
black with their dirty hands. After
that the girls brought their own towels,
but the black men seemed to choke up
the room and swallow all the air. Then
work began to give out; the black
bearded men were taking it home to do
nights, when their wives and daughters
could help them. The old people and
the little children, who could do moth
ing else, pulled out the hastings. The
boss found he could get his work done
cheaper and save in rent and fuel. At
last prices We're cut until the girls might
as well strike or starve. They struck.
1t is irrelevant but instructive to
know that they made a gallant fight and
lost. The black-bearded men came in
greater force and took all the work
home; the factory was given up, the
girls thrown out of work. Thus was
the question of immigration pressed
upon them.
