People who would naturally be supposed
to know better have shut their doors In the
enumerators' faces. but these have been
brought up with a round turn. The fun
keys who answer the bells at the great
houses in 5th avenue and in the other
fashionable streets have also been diff
cult for the numerators to handle. Most
of these door-attending funkeys are NUT
ton-chop- whfskered Englishmen, and there
are few things more delightful in the view
OF an English turnkey than to snub an
American official when he fancies he will
have his employers behind him to back
him up. A number of these dog-robbers
OF the rich have lost their f1unkey Jobs as
a result of their slamming the doors of
their employers in the faces Of the emu
merators, even when warned calmly by
the enuEaerators that they were making
trouble for themselves and their employers.
Bicycles and Automobiles.
The managers of the automobile com
panies are talking voiubly OF their deter
mination to take steps, to have the auto
mobie-haunting bicyclists "enjoined" from
practicing their annoying game of trailing
after the horseless carriages like pursuing
wolves. In truth, the bicyclists' deliberate
pursuit of the flying 'mobes has become a
very great nuisance indeed. Every auto
mobile that takes to country road to give
the occupants thereof an airing and may
hap an opportunity to say affectionatc
things unto each other amid pleasing coun-
try scenes. Is followed by throngs Of BIZ
cyclists. men and women, and the sought
for privacy Of the automobile passengers IS
thereby utterly destroyed. 1t is idle for
the engineer of the 'mobe and the passen-
gers in the machine to attempt to shoe m,
flock Of bicyciists away: the latter only pull
up when .he horseless carriage does, lean
against their wheels and grin. and when
the automobile starts up again. SO do the
bike riders. and they hang on to the pursuit
relentlessly. The bicycle folks have two or

W~]4:Open Pool Rooms.

But the industry of the New York cops
In closing up the women's pool rooms is in
queer contrast to their complaisance as to
the pool rooms for men. Scores of these
establishments are again in full blast. and
no password or countersign Is required in
order to pass beneath their lintels. Many
of them are right on Broadway. others are
away uptown. in the heart of the residence
district. They were all simultaneously
closed up for fully four days about three
months ago. AT the end OF that lengthy
period they opened up and began to do
business again ION the quiet" and about
month ago they took their watchmen off
the doors and began to let all hands in.
Now they've taken the Swiss curtains from
their front windows. and in some of them

The story of Sir George Williams is that
of man who once forgot self and yer
remembered it again. A little Engii h
village first knew him as the son of a
poor farmer. In another back-number
town, Bridgewater, he was apprenticed to
a draper-a dry goods dealer, as we say
Ia America-at an early age. When he
was seventeen those who knew him spoke
of him as good without sneering; he
had the reputation of being pretty de-
vout, but he must have combined hard
work and business sense with his more
spiritual hopes, for a year or two later

What Is a onic?


A tonic is any remedy that invigorates
the nervous system. A weakened nerve
either needs more rest or more nutri-
ton. A true tonic accomplishes both
these ends. 1t procures more rest by re-
moving all irritation and it increases
nutrition by regulating the digestive or
gans. This is why Peruna is to be class
ed as a tonic.
Spring Lassitude.
Why is nervousness more frequent in
the spring? Why do the people feel Ian
guild, tired and depressed as hot weather
approaches? Because the invigoration of
winter weather has acted as a stimulus
to the nervous system. In spring this is
gradually removed. 1t puts a severe
strain on the human system to adjust
itself to the climatic change from win
ter to summer. Many diseases are ac-
CURED at this season of the year Pc
runa is indispensable to tide the nervous
system over this unusual strain No one
should neglect to take a short course Of
Peruna during the spring. 1t will fortify
the system against the depressing infiu-
ences of hot weather. Buy a bottle to-

judgment when the annual conference
shall have taken their vote in this ques-
ton during the quadrennium the question
Will prevail so that the next general con-
ference will be able by a two-thirds vote
to declare by constitutional enactment
the full admission of women.
Rev. DR.. Potts, of the Christian Advo
cate, Of Detroit, Mich, was I'm favor OF
admitting the women now, despite the
constitution.
Before the letter reaches the press the
decision undoubtedly will be TO allow the

Winter Leaves Its Effects.
The climate of winter has produced
more or less catarrhal irritation OF the
various mucous membranes of the body.
This units a person for business or

this condition by producing a clean,
