Soft satins and silks in oriental en-

CURE FOR FoRGeTLuLNEss.
1t Is Lazy Habit which Can he Over
come


successful business man said that
there We're two things which he learned
when he was eighteen, and which were
over afterward OF great use to him
aamely: Never to lose anything, and
never TO forget anything"
An old lawyer sent the young man
with an important paper, giving him
definite instructions what to do with IL.
But" inquired the young man, sup
pose that | SHOULD happen TO lose il,
what shall | do them
You must not lose It," said the law
yer frowning.
Il don't mean TO-" said the young
man, but suppose I should happen
toT"
But l say you must not happen TO. /
shall make no provision for such an
occurrence. You must not lose It."
This put new train of thought into
the young mans mind, and he found
that If he was determined to do thing
he could do it. He made such proyis-
ion against every contingency that he
never lost anything.
He found this equally true about for
getting. II Il certain matter of Import
ance was to be remembered he pinned
it down on his mind. fastened It there,
and made it stay. He used to declare:
when n man tells me that he forgot
10 do something l tell him he might as
well have said: I did not care enough
about your business to take the trouble
TO think Of it again
81 once had an intelligent young man
in my employ who deemed 1t sufficient
excuse for having neglected an import
ant task TO say. i forgot l told him
that would not answer; if he was sufii-
ciently Interested he would be careful
to remember. IL was because he did
not care enough that he forgot. /
drilled him with this truth.
He worked for me three years, and
during the last year Of the three he was
utterly changed in this respect. He did
not forget a thing. His forgetting, he
found, had been a lazy and careless
habit OF mind. and he cured 1.-THE

Ingenuity OF Beavers.

One who has never seen beavers build
their dams can scarcely conceive the in
telllgence. cunning and shrewd Judgment
that are their most prominent character
lsttcs. In the first place they cut will
low poles near the edge of the stream
or pond in such a way that they viii! fall
twelve feet long, according TO the depth
of the water. Then n ditch is cleared
out across the stream. Four or five
seize the butt end of a pole and place It
upright in the ditch. The poles are put
close together and heavy stones are
pushed on each side OF them to form the
braces or support. Two or three feet
below this barrier another ditch OF the
same length is made Then the poles
are bent over in the form of a letter
m and stones and logs are placed on
on them so that the tips are caught Sc
curely in the other ditch. All open
spaces are filled in with sticks, gravel
and mud, until the dam is water-tight
on top of the poles 1t is snugly plastered
and the winter home is complete.

Clamor for a Wishbope.

For week or ten days before
Thanksgiving the President received
many letters asking for the wishbone
of the turkey that graced his board
upon that day. Several asked for the
right drumstick, but nobody asked for
the left This is unexplained, but there
is probably some superstition connected
with the turkeys right leg. 1t is n
curious fact. too, that nobody wrote
either for the wishbone or the drum

ThEOL LDEST MANN AMERICA
He Escaped the Terrors of Many Winters
hy Using Peruna

Isaac Brock, citizen of HcLennan
county, Texas, has lived III years
He now lives with his son-in-iaw at
Valley Mills, Texas.
In speaking of his good health and
extreme old age, Mr. Brock says:
.Affer a man has lived In the
world as long as have, he ought
TO have found OUT a greaf many
things by experience.
Zone of the things I have found
OUT to my entire satisfaction Is the
proper remedy for ailments that
are due directly TO the effects of
the climate.
"During my long life I have
known a great many remedies for
coughs, colds, cafarrh and diar-
rhea. had always supposed
these affections to be different dis
eases, but in reading DR.. Hart
mans books Ihave found out that
these affections are the same and
that they are properly called ca
farrh.
81 had several long sieges with
the grip. At first did not Know
that Peruna was remedy for this
disease. When I heard thar la
grippe was epidemic catarsh,
tried Peruna for la grippe and
found it to be just the thing.
..As for DR.. Harfn1an's remedy,
Pe-ru-na, have found 1t to be the
besf, if not the only, reliable REM
edy for these affections. 1t has
been my standby for many years,
and Iaffribute my good health and
extreme old age to this remedy.
