Dr. Pullem of big, robust looking
woman who had come into his Office
to have some teeth extracted.
We'll, that's what / hardly know,
doctor, and | wanted to talk to Won
about it. I'm just an awful coward
and I'm afraid III screech aWfully if
don't take anything, and then, again,
mebbe it wouldn't be SO bad after all.
My husbands sister had Il teeth out
at one time and never took a single
thing nor give a single screech. But
then she amt bit nervous and | am,

even one out without screaming aW-

Have you ever taken gas?"
mo, I've not; and | said I never
would. My cousins wife's mother
took gas, and she says that she felt
FclytIing exactly the same as if she
hadn't taken it. and it made her so
dreadfully sick she had to be taken
home in a carriage. and she never
did get clear over it. Of course. it
was a cheap dentist, and cousin Sarah
thinks it was poor gas, for he didn't
charge but Is cents for it, but is cost
her 20 times that in doctor bills after
ward, to say nothing of the misery
she endured | don't think that 1t
ever pays to go in for cheapness when
it comes to doctors Or dentists or any
thing likely to affect the health. If |
should take gas I'd want it to be the
best grade, and"
Il assure you, madam, that I never
administer any other kind"
20. no; I'm sure you don't. My hu5-
hands sisters aunt gets her work done
here, and she says / could depend on

take gas it would be OF the best, but
ny sister-in-law's stepmother took gas
in nice place where she paid 81 for it,
and it made her carry on aWfully. She
laughed and Rugged the dentist and
talked silly and squirmed out of the
chair and carried on awfully, and I'd
haze dreadfully to do anything OF that
sort Then, again, think what if

thing of that kind, and I'd be sure I'd
never come out Of it. My husbands

and I've heard my mother tell about a

She sent me all Of their photographs
only last week. If I'd thought
might have brought them with me.
Anyhow, her husband took somethin 6
to have his teeth out, and Lucy Jane
thinks it saIivated him, and he did
think of suing the dentist But then
it wasn't gas he took, and-well, my
teeth don't pain me very much, and
I'm in no hurry about having them
out, so I'll come in again and talk to
you about it, but, to tell the honest
truth, doctor, l don't believe very
much in gas"

muttered the dentist, between his set
teeth as she disappeared New York

Eject of Coffee on the Nerves.

The impression prevails in many
minds that coffee is extremely inju-
rious to the nerves and also to the
liver. How true this may be it is not
easy to decide. Normal constitutions
do not, as a rule, e to find coffee in
moderation in the least degree inju-
rious. Dyspeptics may experience dis
tress from it's use, but according to
some ,carefully-conducted experiments,
it is quite as likely to be the sugar and
cream in The coffee as the coffee itself.
Persons who have been in the habit of
taking coffee prepared in the usual
faEhion and have. found 1t to disagree
with them have tried black coffee with
out sugar or cream with most excellent
results. From which it may appear
that the caffeine may not be so inju-
rious after all; indeed, 1t has of late
been used in cases of ~myocarditis with
excellent effect. Small doses of caf-
feline are recommended, and these at
intervals, the remedy being given stead,
lily, then discontinued for a while. In
this way the system does not become
accustomed to the medicine and 1t Is
not necessary to increase the dose Of
the drug.

Champagne from Apple Parines.

The practice of the economics in the
fruit-raising sections of the west has
developed a new article Of export. Tn.
til recently the orchard owners and the
evaporator managers did not think OF
utilizing the cores and parings of ap.
pies. They occasionally sold them to
the jelly-makers or fed them to the
hogs, but more generally allowed them
to accumulate as refuse in great heaps,
which slowly fermented and deeayed.
This year in many places the parings
and cores are being saved. They are
spread out in the hot sun and dried,
after which they are packed in large
sacks and held for buyers, who gather
them up and send them away In car
lots. The destination of the dried par
ings and cores In these large quantities
is France. 1t is no secret that the ref
use of the orchards of the Missouri val
ley and the Ozark country is 10 larg'

Men and Women.

A Swedish writer, Frau Hanson, in
her "Das Buch der Frauen," thus de-
scribes the relation between modern
men and women: ut is a peculiar sign
of the times that in spite Of the many
restrictions of former days men and
women have never stood wider apart
than lat present and have never under
stood one another more badly than
now,I The honest, unselhsh sympathy,
the true, l should like to say organical,
unidn-which is still to be observed in
the married life of old people, seems to
have vanished; each goes his OF her
OWN way. There may be a nervous
sejrch for each other and a short fiIld-

ONE they were scarcely more socia-
Bile than at present. Or Is it the women
who are at fault? Fol some time past
l have watched life in its many phases,
and have come to the conclusion that
II is the oma who either develops
the mans character or ruins 1t. His
mother and the uni to whom he
unites himself leave an everlasting
mark upon the impressionable side Of
his nature. In most cases the final
question is not what is the man like,
but what kind of a woman Is she? And
l think that the answer is as follows:
A woman's actions are more reasona-
BILE than they used to be, and her love Is
also more reasonable. The consequence
is a ~lessening of the passion that is
hers to give, which again results in a
corresponding GOODNESS on the part of
the man."

way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu-
