MAKE THE MEN MARKET.

A Woman Writers Bold Suggestion to
 Help Weary Wives.
 There are few things that exhaust woman more than days shopping. The average man looks upon a woman's purchasing day" as one of pleasure, but when he accompanies her on one of these shopping expeditions he goes home, after his patience has been all ex- hausted, with different belief He learns, too, that a woman can endure vacations and disappointments with much more equanimSy than he can, and he mentally VOWS never to do it again.
 The number of miles traversed is really what tires one, and it is little wonder that the woman who does the shopping for herself and her entire fam fly, as we'll as the marketing and the bargaining with the "butcher and bak- CT and candlestick maker,' should feel the need of rest for her tired nerves
 The man of the house should always do the marketing. In the old days, when the butler was not the stately parsonage he is now, women were nev- CT troubled with the worries of house. hold purchasing, for the head of the house did the entire buying, and "James" carried the parcels and was not ashamed to do it.
 No mother who has the care of little children should give the precious morn ing hours to anything else but the nursery nor should she let butchers and grocers' boys call for and deliver orders, because there is sure to be dis satisfaction if she does. Some wealthy families allow their chef to take charge of the household, and he collects large percentage from the tradesmen, which, of course, is added to the monthly bill Reputable storekeepers will not do this kind of business, however, and the chef patronage" is controlled entirely by a few men. On the whole, it is much more satisfactory for the man of the house to do the marketing. He will get the best meat, have his orders promptly attended to and save about 25 per cent in the transaction, as we'll as the health of his wife. Chicago Times Herald.

Geological Deductions,

Geology was once defined by Lord Salisbury as "the science of the what might have been." Some American geologists prefer to regard it as the sci enoe of the what may be. Pictures have often been drawn of the destruction of Toronto and the devastation of southern Ontario and Quebec by flood let loose when the great lakes are emptied owing to the continued recession of Niagara falls.
 Professor G. K. Gilbert now tells us that long before this disaster is due Mi agara will have been destroyed by other processes. Some slow changes of level are now taking place over the whole lake region. The eastern outlet will be closed and the lakes drained by dis charging from the southern end of Lake Michigan into the basin of the Missis- sippi. The change in the river system will begin in about 1, ,000 years time. The evidence adduced by Professor Gil bert in support of this prophecy is of great interest, although only his pre- liminary report has yet been published. -Snectator

 "Said the cook, MT. Pengelly calls the bones what he finds to Kent's cav ern 'possil's bones, but say how can he know the bones of the 'possils from the bones of other men"
 We'll, said the nurse, I've heard say as he is uncommon clever. Besides, nobody knows where the garden of Eden was, and, if so, why shouldn't it be here? And if twas here, where else should the bones of the apostles be?' .

Last week in New York, Messrs. w. & ]. Sloane, act ing for the Alexander Smith & Sons Carpet company of Yonkers, placed upon sale at auction and sold the second installment of their famous carpets. For three days the sale ragged midst intense ex- citement, and 48,ooo rolls of carpets were disposed of-but the prices realized were even lower than in the first sale.
 Again we were ready for just such a picnic, having dis posed in ten days of all our purchases at the former auc- tion, so great run was there on them. Our carpet mana ger sat all through the three days of this sale, with the other representatives of our Syndicate stores, and thus, with this combined power, easily secured the pick of the especially fine qualities and patterns.
 And so we now have on our floors nearly two hundred rolls of fine quality of Tapes try, Administers, Velvets and Moquette Carpets, all new, perfect goods, handsome pick ed patterns, and we sell them At the Lowest Prices such
 Carpets Ever Sold For. No mistake about this read what follows very care fully:
 Tapestry Carpets.
 New and perfect picked pat terms, such as have always been COG a yard, are here and will be sold at 37c the ydI Tapestry Carpets.
 New and perfect picked pat terms, such as have always been soc yard, are here and will be sold at 42c the yd! Tapestry Carpets.
 New and perfect picked pat terms, such as always have been 75c yard, are here and will be sold at 52c the yd! Tapestry Carpets.
 New and perfect picked pat terms, such as always have been 95c yard, are here and will be sold at 59c the yd! Administer Carpets.
 New and perfect picked pat terms, such as have always been $1.25 yard, are here and will be sold at 69c the yd! MOquette Carpets.
 New and perfect picked pat terms, such as have always been $100 8 yard, are here and will be sold at 69c the ydl Velvet Carpets.

 In this sale, also, will be several bales of Moquette Rugs, three sizes, purchased at the same sale. The prices will be l Very special
 All these carpets are now on sale, and you may be sure ot just three things: First No other carpets will be sold anywhere in town while these last. Second-Before long we shall see the last of some of these very handsome pat terms. Third-Won't be very many days before we shall have to say, "The auction carpets are all gone."

The Army Medical Library.

Both library and museum date their existence from the late civil war, whose horrors and sufferings prompted 8 pro- found study of military medicine and surgery. In 1869, Surgeon General Ham, mond directed all medical officers of the army ito collect and forward to the office of the surgeon general all speci- mems of morbid anatomy, surgical or medical which may be regarded as valuable, together with projectiles and foreign bodies removed, and such other matters as may prove of interest. " The office of the surgeon general possessed about $50 books on medical subjects at that time, when congress legislated to appropriate $5, 900 yearly for the pur- chase of reference books to be used in the compilation of the Medical and Surgical History of the War" In 1865, Dr. John S. Billings, U. s. A., was placed in charge of the emb bryo enter prise and his wide, grasping mind in- stantly seized this opportunity to lay the foundation of a national medical library. The success of this scheme, un- der his energetic administration as curator for 80 years has been phenom- small
 Since April, 1897, pr. J. c. Merrill has been in charge of the library, which it present contains on it's shelves 12O, poo volumes of bound books, and more than 200, 900 pamphlets, besides valu able collection of atlases of plates and angravings, and is acknowledged to be the most complete collection of medi- gal literature i'll the world.

Three Doctors in Consultation.
From BENJAMIN Franklin.

"When you are sick, what you like best is to
be chosen for a medicine In the first place; what
experience tells you Is best, to be chosen in the
second place; what reason q. C., Theory SAYS Is
best is To be chosen in the last place. But IL you
can get DIR. Inclination, DIR. experience and DR..
Reason to hold consultation together, they
will give you the best advice that can be taken. "
When you have bad cold DR.. Inclina-
tion would recommend Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant
and safe to take. DIR. Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to
effect speedy and permanent cure.
DR.. Reason would recommend it be-
cause it is prepared on scientific princi-
piles, and acts on natures plan in reliev-
ing the lungs, opening the secretions
and restoring the system to natural
and healthy condition. For sale by
