AMERICAN SUPERIORITY.
"Happy is He That
Chastens Himself"

Self Christening at one time
meant that the body avas to
be diSregarded, despised and
even Injured. Today it means
that IT IS to be cared for and
protected, made "beaatfaL
entire and clean" To do
this, the messenger that
Visas every part of the body
must be able to furnish good
material to the organs nnder
his care and supervision.
This messenger is blood, that wonder
full life-giyer. If you want to protect
yourself and want your blood to be
quick and active, cleanse it OF impurl-
ties. Hoods Sarsaparilla does that to
perfection, and it is unfailing. Nature
seems to have set this remedy apart to
make the blood pure.

makes me bristle UP.
Some time ago a suburban resident OF
New YORK fell up against stove and
burnt away a large section OF cuticle
from his features. Mishaps OF this sort
can be easily remedied by borrowing meat
from your friends and ncighbors who have
more face than they know what to do
with and having II grated into your
wounds. Unfortunately ORourke, the
bfolied individual TO whom 1 allude had
no acquaintance who cared to be skinned
alive for this philanthropic purpose and
so several healthy hens were slaughtered
for the restoration OF his physiognomy.
The operation worked we'll for the man,
though II was a little lnconvenient 10 the
hens. But now O'Rourke is worrying his
friends with the following question:: "WiH
feathers grow on my faceT' 'Will take
TO roosting instead OF going 10 bed at
nights?" "Will 1 have an instructive
horror OF night marauders in my back
yardg' "Win I ever enjoy soft-boiled
eggs again?"
IL Is said that time alone will relieve
his anxiety. but II he takes to drink
should at least advise cocktails so that
the hens can have company.
Marie Corelli. the authoress. does not
think suicide is justlnable A recent let
ter from her. which was read before an
English debating society. says among
other things: There can be no doubt
that we are brought into the world for
some purpose, known only TO the Creator
and 1t Is but towards act TO shrink

least make brave effort not 10 shrink
from Il. But let me confess right here
mat If there is any one thing above
All others that does tax my shrinkahility
II Is good, honest. hard work.
The weight OF Miss Corellps sugges-
tons can be duly appreciated when It is
announced that millions Of people have
aostained from suicide since the publ
cation of her letter.
The 'ladies' column" OF a Virginia
contemporary. in discussing the train
ing and modulation OF the voice. says
"One should never scream, Shrek, or
even raise the voice above its natural
pitch. and when singing should avoid
straining the vocal chords. which. when
once injured. never regain their softness
MIX, buttermilk, raw eggs, lemonade,
and occasionally q mOuthful Of hot water,

Good, These suggestions shall be pasted
up I'm my nursery before dark. though
of i'm the unstilly night we've tried the
milk. lemonade. and egg treatments with
out success. The tbarrel-stave antidote
and slipper treatment are the best me-
diums for procuring silence which have

highly recommended. But I'm willing to
keep experimenting until I improve on

what II A1eans to Walk.

The man who Ia content with q
modest average Of six miles walking a
day scarcely realizes that every 12
years ho walks distance sufficient to
girdle the earth at the equator.
Startling as this simple calculation
is, he may be excused feeling of in
credulity when he learns that in walk
ing this distance he has expended suff1-
cient energy to raise our 3S first class
battleships foot high
1t is calculated that in walking an
average mile man uses sufficient en-
ergy e zs;se IT'S tons to the height of
foot. or conversely ton (of Goals
eay). to three times his own height. The
mere thought OF such feat is sufficient
to deter man from taking the most
modest constitutional.
Thus every year the man who walks
six miles day does sufficient work to
raise ton weight to height equal
roughly to 11S times that Of Mont
Blanc. or to raise all the gold current
throughout the world a foot higher
than his own head. A tramp Of 1S miles
a day involves as much exertion az the
day g work Of an ordinary laborer.

These aliens never know English.
They gratefully accept assistance, and

INDIAN Inntruments.

The only instruments known to these
tribes were the drum. the rattle ard a
kind of fageolet.
The drum and rattle were used in ac-
colnpanying the voice, to accentuatc
the rhythm and to assist in interpret-
ing the emOtive impulse Of the song.
Shaking the rattle and beating the
drum with clear, sharp strokes served
not only to mark the time, but to se
cure the coordination and unity Of
movement Of the numerous voices in
the choral or to enforce precision of
motion in the dance. The tremolo OF
the drum or rattle was to express the
awe and trepidation felt when approach
ing the supernatural or when invoking
the aid of the occult power.
The fageolet was q rather rude in
etrument. having u range limited to
eight or ten notes In the treble clef.
Owing to the lack Of mechanical ac-
Curacy in its manufacture, this range
varied with every instrument. as did
also the quality and value OF the tone
relations. There seems TO have been
only one requirement OF the maker
namely. that when tho fageolet was
blown with all the six holes stopped
thero should be strong vibrations in the
tone produced. This instrument was
used exclusively FOR solos by the young
men OF the tribe.-Journal OF Ameri-
can Folk Lore.

An Economical Cook.

A Chinaman will bake dinner for a
dozen with mere handful of fuel. The
boiler he uses is large aud cone shaped,
being sometimes two feet in diameter
and one foot deep. It covers the fire
with merely small portion of the low
er part Of the case, but the heat and
flames infold the rest. Water and rice
are put at the bottom with fame
over them, and on this are placed dishes
Of fiRh. fowl and vegetables to boil. The
whole is covered with wooden cover,
in the center Of which is n hole about
four inches in diameter. and in this an
other dish is often placed, the contents
Of which are cooked by the steam.

Divorce by Candles.

When Burmese husband and wife
decide to separate, the woman goes out
and buys two little candles OF equal
length. which are made especially for
this use. She brings them home. She
and her husband sit down on the floor.
placing the candles between them, and
light them simultaneously. One candle
stands for her. the other for him. The
one whose candle goes out first rises
and goes out Of the house forever, with
nothing but what he or she may have
on. The one whose candle has survived
the longer time. even by second. takes
everything. So the divorce end division
Of the property, If one can call that "a

A womnn,s worries.

Said physician: II wonder that
women fail to appreciate how much
nervous force as well as physical
strength they consume in worrying over
the little things Of life. Look at the
mother and housewife as she goes about
her tasks and observe how often she ut
ters an impatient exclamation, how Of
cen she sighs over her servants short
comings. now often she etarts nervous
ly at noise from one OF the children.
And each time that she loses control
over herself, her nerves. her temper,
she loses just little nervous force, just
little physical well being, and moves
q fraction Of an inch farther on in the
path that leads to premature old age
and to invalidiem."
