A MISERABLE DAY.

Yesterday was one of those ''miser-
able" days which New England alone
can produce. 1t neither rained or
showed, it was neither warm or cold;
but the air was fairly reeking with
moisture and the temperature was just
low enough to make heavy coats I'M
comfortable and lighter ones INSULT
cient.
During the morning light misty
rain fell, freezing as it struck and it
was taking ones limbs into danger 10
attempt to walk upon the sidewalks
About noon it moderated somewhat and
the Ice thawed enough to make walk
ing passable.
A dismal pail of mist, however, hung
over the city all day. Grabbed men said
all sorts of disagreeable things that
furnished amusement for people who
are always good natured. Those who
We're able to stay in all day We're
happy; but no one found pleasure in
being out.
The crowd of Christmas shoppers on
the streets was light and the big stores
practically deserted, save for the extra
number Of clerks and a few people who
We're anxious to buy early Christmas
trade this season has hardly been up
to the average, and merchants hope for
fair weather from now until after New
Years.

The chairman Of the government
committee of tea experts declares that
few Americans understand how to
make tea or how 30 obtain the maxi
mum benefit from II. 1t should be
taken between meals and without
much food when it becomes a harm
less, yet powerful tonic. England dis
covered the secret long ago, and hence
the universal custom of the o'clock
tea, midway between the luncheon and
dinner hour. The preparation OF the tea
is more important than the quality,
for the best tea badly drawn is worth
less. First, the water must be fresh;
second, it must be thoroughly boiled
for ten minutes third, the tea must
never be allowed o poll and must ne
yer draw over ten minutes. Prepared
in this way. and limiting the quantity
to not more than i've cups day, the
world might drink tea for a century,
says the expert, without feeling any
detrimental effect whatever"

ANNUAL RUSH.
1t Takes Place at the Post
Office Stamp Window.

The annual Christmas rush for
stamps at the post office has begun, and
every day now, from morning until
night, one will find a line of people, va
rying in length, waiting for a chance to
purchase little bits of paper bearing
Washington's portrait or portraits Of
other good men and great who have
been immortalized on stamps
There are all sorts of people in this
line. The happy faced maiden and the
anxious youth with a small bundle adj
dressed to sweetheart" the pOrtly Ia
dy with a bundle commensurate with
her size, and the slim woman with
slender package of newspapers There's
the rudy faced kid" and the sweet
school girl, and lastly that uneasy
restless, nervous being, the business
man. Everybody else in the line seems
to be happy, patient but he fumes
frets and crowds. Everybody else has
a message or a gift to bring good cheer,
but he wants stamps for business let
ters, or to send out bills, perhaps so
that he too may purchase presents.
And presiding over the whole, like a
judge of the supreme bench is the
stamp clerk at the window He never
gets ratified, never looks up. never
FERROUS packages without even wonder
ing what they contain. He never hands
out stamps until he gets the money,
and doesn't get nervous il some forget
full person tries to stick his stamps
while the line waits.
It's an interesting sight, well worth
dropping in to see It's the same year
after year-including the business man,
for he keeps on trying year after year
to remember" to buy stamps in ad-
vance.
The Christmas rush of business has
hardly begun as yet. Large numbers of
outgoing packages have been mailed.
but all mail is being handled eEpedi
tiously. Postmaster Greene put on two
extra clerks yesterday, and more win
be added as needed. Christmas mail
from the outside has not begun to come
in any quantity as yet, but the three
remaining days of the week are pretty
sure to be busy ones at the post office.

WRITE A LETTER.

Many women live where there is no skill
full specialist in women's diseases and still
more cannot afford to pay the high fees
charged. These sufferers should follow the
example of Mrs Anna Willy, Of Worthwhile,
Sphinx Co., S. Oak, who writes as follows
to Dr.. R. V. Pierce, Buffao, N. Y;
81 am enjoying good health, thanks to your
kind advice and valuable remedies. suffered
very much with female ailments for more than
two years, when wrote to Won for advice. After
carefully following your Tree advice, and taking
six bottles each OF Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
ton and Golden Medical Discovery I am now
a well aud happy woman. have also taken
several walls Of Vour Pleasant Pellets which
did me a great deal of good"
DR.. Pierce has probably treated and cured
more cases of female weakness, pains in
the back, side and abdomen, nervousness,
headache, Irregularities, ulceratious tu-
mors and other female troubles, than any
other living physician. His wide expert
ence peculiarly fits him to bring about cures
when every one else fails He charges no
fee whatever to those who write him for
advice, and he invites all to consult him
free by mail His wonderful remedy,
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription can
be depended upon to overcome nearly ev-
cry kind of disease that affiicts girls and
women. 1t contains no alcohol, opium or
other narcotics, and does not create craving
for injurious stimulants as IS so often the
case with other medicines advertised for
wouaus ailments
An honest medicine dealer will give you
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and not
try to persuade you to take some inferior
substitute for the little added profit he may
make thereon.
Those who wish may enclose 81 one cent
stamps in their letters, and Dr.. Pierce will
send free his 1908 page Common Sense
