CHEERING HIM.

He was unquestionably an orator. But
he was not content with that gift He de-
sired to deliver speeches which would read
well in print. As a result, his periods were
polished till they lost force. They would
have made more OF an impression If he had
left afew jagged edges on them His speeches
were as famed for their soporifc qualities as
they were for their immaculate syntax, but
his wife was a confident admirer OF his pow
ers as speaker. Without taking the
trouble to inform herself very thoroughly
on the topics he discussed, she accepted his
observations with implicit faith and un.
bounded applause. She had gone to hear
him address the legislature. After it was
over he remarked:

A SCHOOL GIRLS BATTLE.
From the Mail, Milford, Ind.

literary world.

She grew weak, pale and nervous, and com.

A few weeks passed and she grew worse.
The doctor said she was victim of ner.

taken from school weeks earlier. She gradu.

that the least noise irritated her and she had
fever and a continual twtching in her
muscles. The symptoms were much like

A Beggar and His Hump"

We have heard of the London beg.
ear who kept his carriage and pair, and,
though Paris cannot have such valua-
bic places in its gift as London, it sup
ports greater number of beggars.
some of whom accumulate what would
be fortune to the average Frenchman.
Father Antoine, after begging for fif-
teen years at church doors, died. One
day the wretched old man with his
hump and his never-failing piety, was
missing. What happened? His nephew
suddenly appeared, and demanded, as
the representative, an examination
of the hump. Investigation revealed
that it was a strong box, and should
have contained ninety-six thousand
francs. A neighbor had appropriated
the box and his friends savings. The
nephew got the fortune, and the neigh;
Dor got two years.
Father Antoine, with the white beard
and the hump, who portioned out his
day between Saint Etienne-du-Mo
Saint Augustin and Saint Sulpice, and
at one time "did" the rich funerals at
the Madeleine, was a scoundrel, and
his real name was Pucciarelli.

a standard which was three inches
longer in 100 feet than the United
States standard. The extension of the
streets on the lines then laid down nec-
essarily perpetuated this original error
and extended it into the outlying dis
tricts.
The statute law of PENNSYLVANIA pro-
vides that ''the standard unit of all
measure OF length shall be the yard, to
conform to that in use in the Common
wealth at the date of the declaration
of independence"
When measurements of property, or
city streets, are in any way compli-
Gated with materials measured by the
United States standard, an allowance
must be made for the difference in
standards, the same difficulty arising
as in the case of two standards of val
ue. For this reason, when contracts
with the city are drawn up by the sur
vey bureau a clause is inserted calling
the attention of the contractor for city
work to this discrepancy Of standards.
No case Of dispute has yet arisen as

fine gold chains instead of by solid bars.
That makes them less awkward to the
wearer and also more effective when
they are flashed.
The jewels are attached to the nails
by a screw arrangement such as is
often used for diamond earrings. The
nails do not have to be especially long,
but great care must be taken in per-
forating them and that Is an operation
which is usually left to a manicure.
New holes must be made every week
or two, and the more common practice
Is to transfer the gems from one finger
to another whenever a new hole must
be made. When rings are used instead
of pendants, they are usually only
about half the diameter of the ordinary
finger ring, and are studded all around
with very small stones.

MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of
femaleweal1ness areinvited topromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinhhan and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely anywoman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.

the Vermont Legislature, where he re-
