The profound and comprehensive inves-
tigation of Prof. Edward E. Phelps, the dis
coverer of Paine's celery compound, have
robbed disease of much of its alarming
character.
Nature has provided in the liver a safe
guard without which every one would die
from the slightest %imprudence in diet.
The blood loaded with poisons reaches
the liver, the excreting function arrests
them and they are thrown back to the
bowels. This is the action of the healthy
liver, but this perpetual overwork at last
does what over-functional activity does
for other organs-impairs or destroys their
excreting power and opens the door to
Bright's disease and diabetes. Paine's
celery compound enables the liver to work
without tearing itself to pieces. 1t sup
plies nervous energy to the organ and
prevents irritation. 1t purifies the blood
and does not leave the whole purifying
task to one organ, whether liver, kidney or
bowels. 1t obviates the collapse of any
one of these organs, and prevents disease.
1t not only regulates the nervous organ
~ization, but directly nourishes it.; sends
more and better blood to supply the vast
ed nervous tissues and takes the killing
strain from the kidneys.

Mice of All CoIors.

The National Mouse Club of England
recently held an exhibition where sew
eral hundred mice competed for gold
medals. champion cups and various 9th
or prizes. These little creatures are not
the ordinary everyday mice which scare
the cook and drive the mistress of the
house to take refuge on a chair They
are we'll bred mice that expected to be
petted and caressed and treated as ten
derly as a pet cat or dog
By careful breeding they have de-
veloped great variety in coloring and
sometimes in shape. One very choice
style of animal, called the spiny mouse,
has a row of bristling hair for a spinal
ornament and is a very cute miniature
reproduction OF a poroupine. The ia
miliar white mice SO often seen for sale
on the streets here have been bred with
black eyes instead of red ones. 1t has
taken several years to produce these re-
suits, but the society now claims to be
able to furnish mice in IL Or ID differ
emit shades. To any one who is able to
overcome the fear of mice they are
dainty, delicate little studies at my
time, but when they play around in
suits of chocolate, sable, fawn, jet
black, tortoise or golden agouti they be-
come perfectly fascinating.
AS in the case of all fads of this kind,
the prices brought by these little pets
are extremely steep Fifteen dollars or
$40 is not a large price to pay for a
we'll bred mouse, and some of them
have been sold for as high as $25

There is an old retired merchant in
Detroit who delights in recalling his
experiences when an active man run
ming a general store in one of the north
ern cities of the lower peninsula.
II used to reap a harvest when the
men we're coming out of the woods, he
relates. "They were not up in styles, and

asked what the hat was worth. Two

laughed at me for asking such a price
for damaged goods. He had me, and
got his hat for 81. while the jolly crowd
with him had a laugh at my expense.
He wanted to look at some 'iddles,
and after pricing n at $40 concluded
to take it.
Where's the bowP' he asked, as
was doing up the package.

A Swell.

One of my neighbors was an interest
ing creature, and evidently well pleased
with himself. He wore long finger nails,
and seeing me look at him spread out
his left hand, evidently for my admira-
ton. On the fourth finger he wore a
large Chinese ring, and all the nails
were long, particularly those of the
fourth and fifth fingers, which had
grown to a length of at least an inch.
They looked like huge claws, especially
when he tried to pick up anything from
the seat. The owners of such nails re-
gard them with extreme satisfaction
and cultivate them so carefully that
they sometimes attain a prodigious
length.
They are largely affected by Siamese
and Chinese clerks who fancy them
selves exquisites. They are supposed to
indicate the fact that their owners do no
manual work. Curiously enough, in SO
far off a place as Mexico, the same idea
exists, but there it is generally confined
to the little finger. do not know what
else he had to be proud about unless it
was his right leg. which was elaborate

dressed in only a panung, and to a cord
around his waist was attached a wallet

Climate and Consumption.

l am in favor of treating t%uberculous
patients near their homes and in the
same or nearly the same climate as that
in which they will have to live and
work after their restoration to health.
My reasons for advocating such princi-
pies are founded on the experiences of
all modern phthisio-therapeutists who
have demonstrated that the hygienic
and dietetic treatment in special sani-
tariums is feasible and successful in
nearly all climates.
| know from personal observation
that cures of pulmonary tuberculosis
effected in III ordinary home climates,
which are on the average not considered
as especially favorable to this class of
sufferers, have been more lasting and
more assured than cures obtained in
more genial climes.
And, with all due Difference to the
opinions of others, ! do not believe
there exists any climate which has a
special curative quality for any form Of
pulmonary tuberculosis. Climate can
only be considered as a more or less
valuable adjuvant in the treatment of
consumption, but not a Specifics. A.

The Test of Perseverance,.

Many girls are employed at the West
ern Union Telegraph company's main
office in filing dispatches and other
work requiring no great skill. Now,
although they get only the current
wages of workers in such employments,
there are always many applicants for
every vacancy. In view Of this fact the
company has adopted an interesting
method of dealing with applications.
Every girl applying is questioned as to
her age, education and residence. Fur
thermore, her height is taken. The facts
as to the applicant are then filed for fu-
ture reference, and she is advised in
case she is really anxious for a place to
return at the end of four months should
she not hear from the company before
that time. The reason for this advice
is that the list of applications is de-
stroyed every four months.
Many applicants never come a second
time. Some, however, come a second, a
third or even a fourth time, and, al
though the officers of the company hold
out no special hope to any applicant,
they do say that here. as elsewhere,
perseverance often succeeds. The re-
quirement that the applicant shall APP
pear in person each time is an ingen-
ious means of wedding out those appli-
cants that lack the perseverance, which,
other things being equal, is likely to
make a girl more useful to the COM
pany than a girl with less of that quail
ity.-New York Sun.

Unclean MIX.

The Kansas college dairy secured
samples of milk from persons that were
engaged more or less in the dairy bust
ness and placed these in long, narrow
glass tubes. After being allowed to
stand for several hours these tubes were
examined and notes taken on the
amount of dirt that settled to the bot
tom. Considerable difference was found,
some samples being almost free from
visible dirt, while others had SO much
it formed an irregular ring along the
lower edge of the tube. While this test
is a good one to detect solid particles Of
dirt in the milk, it is by no means con
elusive, as where milk is handled in an
uncleanly more or less dirt be-
comes dissolved in the milk and cannot
be separated out. This goes to illustrate
the Importance of the utmost cleanli-
ness in handling milk. We object
strongly to milk being adulterated with
water, but this is not to be compared
with adulterating it with dirt.-D. H.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE IN THE NEWS. TRY IT.


An annual "zwiebel market" or
onion market is held in Bern, and once
a year the peasants come from far and
near to purchase a stock of onions for
the twelvemonth, and, in fact, it has
grown to be a custom on zwiebel mar
ket day for everybody, rich and poor, to
buy onions; if not for use. then for the
custom of the thing.
On a Saturday night the onions ar
rive. Great boxes, baskets and barrels
OF onions line one side of the longest
main street of the city, from the station
directly through the long arcaded "
nue. as far as the arcades extend-about
a mile. All day Sunday the onions re-
main in the street, covered with cloths
of every description, and early Monday
morning the sale begins. For two days
every one you meet has at least a string
Of onions, and one walks the entire
length Of the market and weeps.
A few days later come the dances.
Every saloon and hall is decorated, and
the young peasants, girls and lads, come
to town and make merry. Every ''wirt-
schaft' is crowded with a pushing,
jostling throng Of plump and rudy
faced peasants, drinking, dancing and
"hiring out" There are no brawls,
only perhaps parties Of merry pumpkins
walking through the streets at / and Q
o'clock in the morning and yodeling,
without melody, at the top Of their
strong voices. Chicago Record.

He Was

An English literary man who visited
this country to lecture frankly declared
that he came. not expecting to find ac-
curate scholarship among Americans,
especially on purely literary subjects.
adding affably:
"You have been too busy and useful
a nation in practical matters to give
much time to the arts and graces of
learning"
During the dinner at which he made
this remark he criticised Shakespeare,
sharply declaring that his metaphors
often were absurd. GAS, for example,"
he said, Sleep that knits up the raw
eled sleave of care. How ridiculous to
figure sleep as knitting up a torn sleeve
of a coatl"
A young American sitting near him
said modestly: 81 think the word is
not sleeve, but sleave, the thin fluff of
a damaged web. 1t is a technical ex-
preston among weavers."
"In the States probablyr' retorted
the critic irritably. Shakespeare never
could have heard it. He meant sleeve"
81 believe, persisted the American
gently, ''the word is printed sleave in
all the old editions. 1t is not an Ameri-
can word, but has been used for CEN
turtles by weaver in Scotland and the
north of England"
The visitor frowned and then with
English frankness said, laughing:
"Thank you l was mistaken. Perhaps
| I'M mistaken about other things and
will be corrected before l leave your
shores. Youths Companion.

Language study.

Broadly speaking, there are two
methods which are used for the teach
ing of a language-that of the mother
and that of the grammarian. The child
learns its own or mother tongue from
the mother. 1t learns a foreign tongue
from a teacher, whose highest ambition
is to be a grammarian. Does the child
learn better from the mother or from
the g%rammarian? Without doubt, from
the mother, according to the mother
method.
If this is so, must we use the exam
pie of the mother or of the grammarian
when we are to begin the teaching of a
foreign language? Is there any reason
why a foreign tongue should be other
wise taught than the mother tongueP Is
it not at least worth the trouble to try
the method of the mother, when it is
every day demonstrated that pupils who
have had five, six, seven years of teach
ing are unable, on leaving school, so
much as to understand when the Ian
guage they have been studying is used

Committee of Chicago:
Gentlemen:-I have used Paine's celery
compound several times for the past two

Paine's celery compound always did.
There is nothing like it. 1t is splendid. !"

people to apply some useless local remedy

from purified blood, kidneys aroused to

nerves For this there is no need of
further proof as to the value of Paine's
celery compound than can be furnished

To tell my loving out it seems so weak"
TITS not my way

Because the loving word has been unspoken,
Because the smile we looked for was a frown,

To voice approval, foster vain desires"
Hearts often faint and fall out by the way.

And touch the best loved lips and make them

And stern remorse upon your heartstrings set

Then you'll remember every little thing.

Which might have gilded life and kept a heart

Under a former administration the

deputies, who was stationed in a back
county, for the arrest of a counterfeit
er- The deputy knew the mar and
treated him considerably. When they
reached Pittsburg, the necessary papers
were not at hand to commit the prison
er to Jail. The deputy would not take
him to a hotel, because he would have
TO pay the bill out of his own pocket.
So he took him to the marshal's office
to pass the night there, The deputy
was sleepy and the counterfeiter said he
was. So the deputy handcuffed his pris-
oner to himself and lay down on the
floor beside the steam register. AS soon
as the deputy was asleep the counter
feiter took his keys from his pocket,
unlocked the manacle and fastered the
loose end to the register. Then he took
the deputy's watch and what money he
had and departed.
"Where is your prisoner q asked the

as he tugged at his handcuff and bruised

Fmstidious Snakes.

Mr.. A. E. Baker of the national zoo
logical park notes that the large snakes
refuse to eat rats captured about the
buildings, but quickly devour those
caught out of doors. Rats taken indoors
were then kept for a day or so in a cage
with an earth floor. after which they
were readily eaten. A very similar ex-
perience was had with smaller snakes,
copperheads. these declining to eat
house mice. permitting them to run
about the cage or even over their bodies
with impunity, while field mice were
quickly taken even after they had been
dead for some little time. These facts
seem to show that snakes have a very
keen sense of smell and are largely
guided by 1t In the choice of their food.
