A White Mark
Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made and that too by a woman in
this country. "Disease fastened it's
clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood it's severest
tests, but her vital organs were un.
derminded and death seemed immi-
nent. For three months she coughed
necessarily, and could not sleep.
She finally discovered way to re-
covery by purchasing of us bottle
of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, and was so mnch
relieved on taking first dose that she
slept all night, and with two bottles
has been absolutely cured. Her
name is Mrs. Luthur Lutz.' Thus

A Story of Twins.

Lloyd Lowndes and Richard Lown-
des, sons of Governor Lowndes OF
Maryland, are twins and look very
much alike. According to story 60
ing the rounds, Richard was travelling
through Ohio a year ago, when man
came through the cars and slapped him
on the back. Hello. Lloyd he said
stop over and spend the night with
me at Chillicothe." Richard said he
wasn't Lloyd, but the man wouldn't
believe him, so he stopped over.
Among the people he met was Miss
May Quinn. She liked him and he
liked her, but Richard had been mar
ried for several years. So he told his
brother Lloyd about her. and in proc
ess of time Lloyd went to see her, fell
in love, proposed, and was married
last week. When he told his fiancee
that he was not the Lloyd she first
met. but that the first Lloyd was a
false. Lloyd and really Richard, he
had a hard time convincing her he
was speaking the truth.

Inspector-General Breckenridge, re-
porting to Secretary Root, suggests the
employment of officers returned from
foreign service, and unable to perform
other duty, as professors of military
science at military colleges. There
are many indications that the reign
of peace is yet far off, and until the
millennial sun chases away the martial
clouds that brood over every land it
may be wise to instruct the youth OF
the country betimes in military drill
and discipline. A defensive force will
always be necessary here as elsewhere,
and this plan offers congenial and easy
tasks to men whose health has been
injured in their country's service, and
promises to provide at least frame
work on which to build up an efficient
force to meet any national emer-
gency.

From Pearson's Weekly: Few pso-
pie understand the mystery of mice.
| think l can, without immodestly,
claim to understand mice, for have
made them study for many years.
I used to think tina: nature supplied
mice wherever there seemed to be any
call for them. For example, il you
live in a house where there are no
mice, and in a rash moment provide
yourself with mouse trap, or set up
a cat, mice will Immediately make
their appearance. TO the superficial
observer this looks as If nature, per-
ceiving that you have a mouse trap,
proceeds to supply mice for it, or no.
ticing that you have a cat, sends mice
enough to satisfy the animal. But this
Is not the true explanation. In order
to understand mice you must grasp
the fact that the mouse is an animal
with keen sense of humor and love
of excitement. With this key in your
mystery of mice. That the mouse has
a sense of humor is conspicuously
shown by the way in which he VIII
rattle newspaper in your bedroom
at night. The mouse does not eat
newspapers, neither does he put them
to any domestic use. He merely makes
noise with them, knowing that of all
the sounds the midnight rustic of
newspaper is the one WHICH will most
successfully Danish slice, from your
eyes. If mouse finds an eligible
newspaper in your bedroom he will
settle himself down to plight of fun
and jollity. He will rattle that news
paper till morning, and the only effect
of throwing boots at him or Of getting
up and lighting the gas and searching
for him with poker will be that he
will hide himself till you lie down to
sleep and then resume his little news
paper game. If this does not show a
sense Of humor it would be difficult to
say what it does show. Then there is
the well-known fact that no sooner
does a mOusetrap or cat enter
house than it is followed by troop
of mice. Cats and traps draw mice as
the pole draws the magnet. The
mouse loves the game of teasing the
cat by stimulating the latter's hopes
of capturing mice. 1t is considered the
height Of fun among mice to scuttle
across room in the presence of a cat
and to disappear in a hole just as a
cat is ready to pounce. OF course, now
and then too reckless mouse pays
the penalty of rashness by being
caught by the cat, but accidents of this
kind are more rare among mice than
football accidents among men, and in
no way render mice shy of the game.
If you once understand the nature of
mice you need have no trouble with
them. Danish from your house every
cat, trap and newspaper, and not
mouse will show itself. Fill your
house with newspapers, traps and cats,
and mice will flock to it from miles
away No mouse will so to house
where no amusement is offered to him.
This lesson | have learned, as | said,
by years of study. and it has been con-
firmed by the testimony of several of
the most intelligent cats whom | have
known

Phillips Brooks said, in the last
Thanksgiving sermon he preached: II
defy man to put his finger upon any
page of history when it was clearer
than it is today that man has some
thing to do with his brethren and that
they are his brethren. Yes, it belongs
to nations, too. No nation dare act in
sublime selfishness." Whether the re-
straining motive be high or low, the
fact of greed, envy, hate, under some
control, is a ground of hope for in
dividuals and governments.

Where the "Meas!y Pork" Went To.

This amusing tale was recently told
to his class by Prof. Comstock of Cor
nell, in speaking of the trials of Scien'
lists. A professor of invertebrate zool.
ogy in sister university wanted Ia
get some trichinous pork for expert
ment. The learned scientist went to
his butcher and asked him if he ever
got any measly pork. Sometimes, q"
the butcher cautiously answered, ''bui
l always throw it away" Well" said
the professor, the next time you have
any l wish you'd send me up some, y
meaning, of course, to his laboratory.
The butcher, although somewhat taken
aback, said that he would. Three
weeks passed, when the professor, grow
ing impatient, again visited the store
Haven't you found any measly pork
YETI" why, yes" said the butcher
Il sent up two pounds a week ago." A
sickly grin broke over the professors
face. Where did you send it?" why,
to the house, of course" said the
butcher.

HELEN'S LUNATIC.

Helen Dacy went to Blgin-not be-
cause she was insane, but because she
had a second cousin who was. Elgin
Is a beautiful town, but its street car
service is not good, and Helen walked
through the village up to the pleasant
park with which the state has sur
rounded the asylum for the insane. 1t
Is walk of considerable length from
The gate of the grounds to the build
Ing, and Helen was to encounter
melancholy sight. AS she went along
the serpentine path procession came
toward her. There must have been
hundred men in it and they moved
slowly and most of them walked with
bowed heads. Their feet appeared to
press the earth heavily. At first Helen
thought it must be funeral process
sion, but moment later she perceived
that it was something more distress
ing. 1t was the walk of those who
had survived their own death. In
other words, it was body of insane
patients, exercising the bodies that
held their persisted mind. Helen shrank
aside and stood fascinated while they
passed her. Some of them looked at
her curiously, or with lack luster gaze,
or wistfully. A sudden appreciation
of her own youth and health and san
ity came over her and made her all the
more pitiful toward these unfortunates.
The procession had passed, and she
was about resuming her way to the
hospital, when one of the men quilted
the ranks and walked hurriedly toward
her. None of the rest looked around.
The attendants had not noticed his de-
sertion, and his steps on the sward
made no sound. He came with
rapid, gliding step toward Helen, show
ing his teeth in a broad smile. Helen
decided that however impertinent his
intentions might be at least he was in
good humor. This was consoling, but
it did not keep her hands from turning
cold with nervous dread.
AS he approached he lifted his hat
with a courtly air. 1t was evident that
the poor wretch had once been a gem
tleman, but even the most gentleman
~ of lunatics was not a companion to
choose, and Helen moved behind low
lilac bush. She felt that she was white
and that her eyes were wide-stretched,
but she tried not to show her alarm.
Confidence, she had always heard, was
needed in dealing with the insane. The
man moved more cautiously and liked
an undertaking gaze upon Helen.
Madam" said the man in a pecu-
liarly quiet voice, 1T is pleasant
morning"
Something in the words suggested a
scene in Hamlet" to Helen, and she
