THE FULLNEss THEREOF.

Among the discomforts of life and the
fullness thereof, reaching to every family,
there is that which can so easily mitigate
or entirely cure, the wonder is why we en-
dure and suffer SO much. From big pains
to little aches, which are the wear and tear
of the physical structure of men, there are
always remedies good, better and best. The
choice should always be for best as the sur
est and the cheapest. III chronic or acute
suffering with rheumatism, neuralgia, sci
atica or lumbago, or with the minor all
ments of sprains and bruises, or of soreness
and stiffness, the efficacy of St. Jacobs Oil
and the fullness thereof in so many COM
plete and perfect cures make it stand out as
the best emedy for pain. Why then should
we stand on the order of going for it and
not go at once? In numberless cases the
aggravations of discomforts and pains are
from delay. Why should we suffer?

IODINE ON FINGERS.
Treatment of the Hands of Pianoforte
Pupils Who Practice.

Pup1ls Who Practice.
A modest appearing young woman
entered drug store on Madison avenue
one morning recently, and, walking 10
the end OF the counter nearest the pre-
scription department, mutely held out
both hands toward clerk who CHANGED
to be standing in that particular place.
The clerk, equally mute, reached be-
hind screen and brought out blue
glass bottle, from which a brush han
die protruded. After stirring the con-
tents of the bottle with the brush for a
few seconds the clerk daintily brushed
the tips of the young woman's fingers
with the mixture, leaving dark stain
around the top of each finger nail. With
pleasant nod Of her head and low
murmuring thanks the young woman
quickly withdrew from the store and
the blue glass bottle was put back in it's
hiding place.
Observing puzzled expression on the
face of an old patron Of the store who
had come in to get cigar, the clerk
said, Iodine. -
"What for?" asked the smoker.

sore, replied the clerk. "She is from
the musical conservatory, where she
practices on the piano three or four
hours day. In order to prevent the
finger nails from coming in contact with
the ivory keys she has them cut very
short and we apply iodine to take the
soreness out of the ends of the fingers

or four hours of pounding Most piano
players, you will observe, have their
finger nails cut to the quick, so that no

SAMPLE CORPSE.
Scheme of an Ohio Undertaken For Ad-
vertising Embalming.

vertising Embalming.
An Ohio undertaken named Pearce
doesn't allow sentiment to interfere
with business. He can't see why the
shoemaker adjoining his establishment
should advertise his skill by displaying
his samples, or the tailor across the
street hang his latest sartorial confec-
ton in his front window, while the en-
balmers good work has to find lodg-
ment beneath six feet of earth almost as
soon as it has been accomplished.
Mark Twain, when he was shown the
mummy of Pharaoh who lived in the
time of Moses, shrugged his shoulders
with contemptuous Indifference and re-
marked 10 the curator of the museum:
Haven't you got corpse that is a
little fresher?''
All Mark has to do is to visit the flu
neral direction establishment Of Mr.
Pearce at Ardmore. There he will prob
ably find something more to his fastidi-
Gus fancy in the shape of a sample of
embalming, kept on view by Mr. Pearce
for inspection by his customers The
subject has now done service for a
period of three years. and the proprietor
confidently expects that it will last as
long as he remains in business.
The body in question has been in the
very warmest workroom of his estab
lishment all this while. and the leather
like flesh Of the corpse is totally free
from odor or putrefaction Some say
the hair on body will grow after
death This probably originated in the
mind of dramatist or novelist, who
wanted to sensationalize his readers to
sell his books, for there lies MIR Pearce's
dead man. with his very last hair cut
the same as it was two or three years
ago. Then some say that the hair will
fall out, but you couldn t pull the hair
out of that body with tweezers Each
hair seems to be particularly riveted i'll

Even the fuzzy. lighter hairs of all
other parts of the body remain the same
as they were at death.
FOrmaldeheyde, a product of wood
alcohol, and comparatively recent
product, is the fluid with which the
body was embalmed, and Mr. Pearce
says that there is now fluid, with 9th,

than the I40 ounces, or little over one
