A CITIZENS STUDY.
Told BY An Akron Citizen
For the Benefit of
Akron People.

The greatest importance attached
to the following is that it concerns
an Akron citizen. 1t would lose
three-quarters of its interest if il
involved some resident Of Kalama-
zoo, Mich, or Woonsocket, r. I.
Like all the testimony which has
appeared bere and like all which
will follow about the Old Quaker
remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills, it
comes from residents, fellow citizens
and neighbors. No other remedy
can show such record OF home
cures. Read this case:
Mrs. NJ. J. Vealey, Of l21 East
North street, says: II had tried
about every kidney medicine I
knew of when I got Doan's Kidney
Pills from Lamparter & Co.'s drug
store on South Howard street,. but
nothing before ever gave me positive
relief. 1t is now six months since /
stopped the treatment and I have
not had a single attack of the back
ache which before bothered me all
the time. / sleep soundly and my
kidneys are strengthened. lean say
positively that Doan's Kidney Pills
are superior to any other kidney
medicine I ever used and I tried
nearly all of them"

A Grewso.ne superstition.

A rumor got about in q village in
Russia, not far from the German from
tier, that the corpse OF a woman who
had recently been buried had turned in
the coffin. Everybody in the village not
only believed the rumor, but ascribed
the prevailing drought as the cause. A
village council was held, and it was de-
cided that the husband of the woman
should have the coffin opened and the
body replaced in its original position.
The husband, however, promptly re-
fused, and nothing could persuade him
to yield to the unanimous wish of his
fellow villagers, whereupoD the latter
took the matter in their own hands and
went to the churchyard to dig up and
open the coffin. To their great surprise
the body lay in its original position.
Their astonishment was not lessened
when the legal authorities appeared on
the scene and opened an inquiry. with
view of imposing punishment for the
desecrat ON of the grave.
The whole neighborhood was pos
sessed with the idea that newly buried
persons were to blame for the preva-
lerce Of the dry weather, for in anoth-
er village, not far off, q grave was
opened and the coffin unscrewed to
pour water on the corpse. The be-
nighted peasants of this village were
of the opinion that this was the best
way to induce the clerk of the weather
to supply them with much needed rain.

Women Head the Lat.


The proportion Of women among CEN
tenarians is nearly twice that of men.
A group of people cited by one of the
most careful and least credulous of the
numerous authors Of works ON the
subject shows that out of 66 persons
who were 100 years old and upward
there were 43 women and % men. In
London the last census showed q CEN
tenarians, men to 16 women. The
fact that nearly all the centenarians
were poor seems to prove that the rich

Persia is the ideal place for looking

fond of the shiny refectors as are saw
ages Of beads. Every year immense
numbers of mirrors of all sorts and

addition to having fondness for see-

says correspondent of the Detroit
Free Press, "sat on the fence in front
Of an Arkansas cabin, and just as !
came up his mother came to the door
and called 'Mosesv in a loud voice.
The boy did not look around, and after
minute she called Abraham He
made no move, and was asking him
how far it was to Greenville when she
put out her head and called Luke! He
did not appear to hear and had an-
swered me that it was seven miles
when the mother raised her voice still
higher and shouted Mark
"'Your mother is calling you,' I said,
as he paid no attention.
"'No, not me- he replied.
"'But who, then?
"'My brothers over in the woods.
She's called for Moses, Abraham, Luke

A Sharp SwindIer.

A fashionable young lady not long
ago drove up in a handsome carriage
to private lunatic asylum, situated a
few miles from Paris, and requested to
see the proprietor. Her wish being
acceded to, she Informed the doctor
that she desired to place her husband
under his care to see If a cruel mania,
under which he labored-viz, "that he
had lost large quantity Of jewels
could not be removed.
After some hesitation the doctor con-
sented, and the lady drove away di-
rectly to q jewelers. in Paris and Sc
lected jewels to the value Of several
thousand francs and requested one of
the shopmen to go with her in her car
riage to procure the money for the
goods she had taken. She drove with
him to the asylum, and, arriving there.
he was shown into room.
The lady then sought the doctor, told
him of the arrival of her husband, and
getting into her carriage again drove
away. The rest may be imagined, but
the poor fellow was confined several
days before it was found they both had
been "sold." The lady was never heard
Of after.

this service she went to Baltimore and
entered the medical school of Johns
Hopkins university. Her example
aroused the spirit of patriotism in her
friends. and Miss Dorothy Reid. daugh-
ter Of Whitelaw Reid; Miss Mabel Aus
tin, daughter of the former governor OF
Minnesota, and Miss Mabel Simis also
entered the university to prepare them
selves for hospital nurses.
As soon as war was declared Miss
Long and her friends volunteered their
services to the government. They were
assigned to the naval hospital in
Brooklyn. Here Miss Long won the
love Of the sick and wounded who ar
rived in the hospital ship Solace from
Santiago. Miss Long lived in the hos
pital and devoted her entire time cas-
ing the pain Of the brave fellows who
returned from the front helpless.
Miss Long made many friends during
her residence in Washington. Deep
sorrow is expressed at the sad news
of her alarming illness. She is q
quiet girl, with more love for books
than for social amenities. She has
gracious manners and cordial ad-
dress and will be sincerely regretted
by the other cabinet hostesses. 1t is
not likely that the family of the secre-
tary of the navy will take part in the
social season owing to Miss Helen's
condition. This will make another va
cancy IN the list of official hostesses.

One of Ohio. Noted women

DR.. Myra K. Merrick, the first wo-
man physician in Ohio and one of the
first in the United States, died in Cleve-
land last week at the age of "A. At
the beginning of her career she met
with great opposition. But her skill,
her serene confidence in herself that
was far removed from vanity and her
dogged persistence triumphed in due
time. and for many years she stood
shoulder to shoulder with the best ply
sicians in Cleveland. She overstep-
ped most of them in a pecuniary way,
and her practice was largely among
the wealthy and exclusive class that
gave her large income. She was born
in Hinkley, England, in 1926, but she
was brought by her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard King, to this country
when but 1 year old. The family To-
Gated near Boston, and at the age Of 8
she began working in the cotton cloth
mills of the east. 1t had been a boast
Of hers that since that age she had
earned her own living. The family
came to Ohio il 1S41. and she decided
to enter the medical profession. but
the doors Of medical colleges were clos
ed to women, and it was not until 1852
that she succeeded in securing her

Growth of woman. Hand.

The size of a woman's glove is not al
together conclusive evidence Of the
size Of her hand, but if the testimony
Of glove dealers can be accepted wo-
mems hands are getting larger year
by year, and golf, tennis, rowing and
driving must be held responsible for it.
Glove dealers say there is bigger
call for gloves of large size than for
merly and that they have to get rid Of
their smaller sizes at bargain sales.
Not only this, but athletics have made
en- inroad on the sale of gloves, for
the athletic girl nowadays eschews
them altogether, except in the win
ter, and even in town fashionable wo.
men are seen going abroad ungloved.
Besides this an artist asserts that
the athletic and outdoor life that girls
lead nowadays has totally destroyed
the form and shape Of the hand. He
declares women's hands are tanned
and reddened' and stretched out Of all
proportion, and golf receives the great
est amount Of blame for this, although
the rest Of the list of fashionable
sports share the blame.

Children are. sometimes tired Of be-

fers this brief list of things not to do:
Never make fun of old age, no mat
ter how decrepit or unfortunate or evil
1t may be. Gods hand rests lovingly
upon the aged head.
Never tell or listen to the telling of
nlthy stories. Cleanliness in word
and act is the sign manual of true

Never cheat or be unfair In your

Never call anybody bad names, no

You cannot throw mud and keep your

Caution I'm Introduetions.

Outside Of ones own house every one
should be careful in the matter of max
ing introductions. A lady at friends
house may safely introduce two per-
sons whom she herself knows well. A
man makes introductions more care
fully. and both men and women must
first, IL possible, get the consent of the
persons to be introduced. An excep-
tion to this rule, which hardly needs to
be noted, comes when three or four
persons are thrown together, some Of
whom are strangers to all but one Of
the others. In this case to save awk-
wardness simple Introduction should
be made. Some persons Of genial dis
position feel it necessary to introduce
all persons IN their immediate neigh
borhood at any social function. 1t is
needless to say that this Wholesale in
Producing is entirely mistxke and
that those who engage in it usually
make themselves very obnoxious to
their acquaintances. A woman has
always more freedom than a man in
making introductions, and a man, for
example, will hardly offer to introduce
two ladies to each other unless he
knows them both very well.-Leah
