THE LADY WON.
An Amusing Occurrence in n Mig 9mcs
Building Elevator In
Chicago.

People who ride in lifts" in this city
acquire some queer experiences at
times. The calling Of the floors where
passengers desire to debark or embark
not infrequently produces some anus
ing situations. Ii all depends on the
style of the person making the an
nouncement. OF course, conductors
are mute participants to the game.
Here is one happening which is certain
ly out of the usual rum, says the Chi
cage Chronicle.
Half a dozen passengers entered an
elevator in big downtown Office build
ing. Doctors Office there almost to
the exclusion Of other professions.
One boy with a package asked to be de-
posted at the second floor. a woman
stood mute while medical man
thought he would leave at the fifth.
The conductor turned an inquiring
head and the remaining passengers
with one voice Ginning in full chorus
shouted:
Tenth"
Seven up" murmured a gentle
voice as the car reached the indicated
floor.
Two men seeking the tenth floor
glanced at each other with grins of ap-
probation as a stenographer, and a
pretty one, by the way, entered the car.
She seemed unconscious of having
created more than passing interest,
but the conductor was alive to the stu
alton.
The lady wins" he muttercd to him.

VI0LETS TIE RAGE.

Women OF fashion are violet mad
so say the florists and dealers in per
fumeries. Violet perfume is in uuiver-
sal use among society women As for
prominent actresses, without eXcep-
ton they favor this perfume. Lillian
Russell especially uses large quantities
of violet toilet articles
prominent perfumer says he makes
nine varieties of violet perfume rang
ing from so cents to $3.50 an ounce.
The latter is really oil of violets, The
highest-priced sells faster than the
cheaper grades Violet toilet water is
very popular. Violet face powder is
even used by men, who like it after
shaving
\ perfume burner is the latest fad.
They are little glass lamps supplied
with carbon tips placed on the center of
round wick The lamp is filed with
a specially made violet perfume, the
wick is let burn till the carbon is heated
and then the flame is put out. The
sweet fragrance of violets is waited
through all the rooms of house in
this manner
Violet tooth paste is the latest and
perfumes the breath. Violet tablets
are carried by some women in the glove
or pocket, in place of sachets. There is
q substitute for the old sachet powder,
but it is expensive. Violet flannel costs

Thanks to the energy and genius of

1t was well built and thriving. Business
was active and the people were thrifty

despite all these good qualities, we must
make an effort of the Imagination to
realize how quietly and slowly life
moved then in comparison to the pace
of to-day. There in Philadelphia was
the center of the postal system of the
continent, and the recently established
mail coach called the Flying machine"
not in jest, but in praise, performed the
Journey to New York in the hitherto
unequaled time of two days. Another
mail at longer intervals crept more
slowly to the south. Vessels of thu
coastwise traffic, or from beyond the
seas came into port at uncertain times,
and after long and still more uncertain
voyages. The daily round of life was
so regular and so quiet that any Incl

PROFIT AND LOSS.
It Is Not Enough to Merely Hold
Your Own.

Hard Times in Health as Well as Business
How to Attain Physical Prosperity.
Every successful merchant keeps
two columns, one for " Profit" and
another for Loss" At the close of
each year balance is taken and the
true condition of things revealed.
Unwise purchases or too many
charges on the books may easily mako
the balance show on the wrong side.
In duh and hard times the merchant
often thinks he is fortunate if the
books do not show loss, even if there
is no gain. He is almost satisfied II
he "holds lis own"
A great many young people, espeo-
tally school girls, seem TO be living in
dull and hard times" for they do not
improve and develop as they should.
They just hold their own, and that Ia
all. Thev shoald be growing and
making advances all along the line.
Every day shoGld show a balance on
the Profit side of the health column.
They should gain in weight, increase
in height, and steadily develop in mus
cular and mental strength.
If there is stand-still, just holding
your own, then an effort should be
made to aid nature. You ONLY have to
give her a little start in the right
direction. Some good rcinforccmenta
will easily help her oVer the hill, then
everything viii prosper again. Give
her power and vigor by supplying her
with nourishiug food, rcconstruc-
tive, and strong nerve tonics.
All three of these are found in

The trouble with a great many In
that they think one preparation Of
cod-livcr oil is as good as another.
Hence, if they try some clear oil and
receive no benefit, then they are dis
Outraged and give up in despair.
When the body is weak and you wish
to give it strength, what wisdom Is
there in making it do an extra amount
liver oil, this is what you do. The
body has to digest the OIL, and this
work of digestion takes vital energy.
Why not digest the oil before taking it,
and thus save the body all this ex-
penditure of force?
Physiology teaches that an oil ID
digested when it is emulsifed, or
broken up into most minute globuleA
An emulsion" is a preparation of .
digested oil. Therefore, in Scott's
Emulsion the oil is digested. There Ia
no loss of force in preparing 1t for alb
sorption. Everything is on the Profit
side. The body has the full benefit of
the whole dose. The hypophosphites
makes you hungry, and they give tone
and stability to the nerves and brain.

DENs OF HORROR.
ons of MOroccO-A Vile
System.

The prison system and treatment of
prisoners is worse in Morocco than in
any other country in the world.
Men are arrested-often merely to
spite some one whom they have been so
unfortunate as to offend, and who pos
sess some power-and flung into pris-
on, where they would be left to
starve did not their relatives or friends
bring them food, for no arrangements
whatever are made by the authorities
for the feeding of prisoners. All that is
provided is prison, generally crowded
with prisoners dying of the most loath-
some and infectious diseases, dark and
unventilated; and custodians who are
quite as brutal and savage as the prison
system itself.
Prisoners are cast into these hotbeds
of disease, generally without the most
farcical pretensc of trial, to die and
rot if their crimes are light, or their
enemies impotent. Otherwise they are
probably tortured in some way or an
other. Starving merely is too good for
them in the opinion of the authorities.
Not long ago merchant who had
dared to claim payment for goods sup
piled TO friend of one of the court Off
Gals was cast into prison without trial,
and after suffering torments in the
midst of mass of diseased humanity
for months was taken out, showed into
