A French medical journal cites a
number of cases where great and last
ng benefits were derived by people suf-
fering from dyspepsia and abdominal
diseases from a gentle massage treat
ment of the abdomen. One case men,
toned is that of young man aged 20
years who for six months had been suf-
fering with his stomach. In spite of
varied treatment he was gradually
growing worse and looked like one in
the last stages of phthisis. He suf-
fered from constipation and insomnia.
He was very nervous and was con-
WINGED that he was about to die After
instituting the abdominal massage his
condition rapidly improved. His abb
domen, which had resembled that of q
child with meningitis, became supple
and daily enlarged. The treatment
was not severe nor very special His
pain disappeared, and he was able to
digest all that was given to him. The
patient gained in six months about 60
pounds, which he has not lost since
that time, now five years ago.-Les-

The Third Handle.

The best account of the origin of the
loving cup comes from the late Lord
Lyons, British ambassador at Paris.
Henry " of France while hunting be-
came separated from his companions
and, feeling thirsty, called at wayside
inn for a cup of wine. The serving
maid on handing it to him as he sat on
horseback neglected to present the han
ole. Some wine was spilled, and his
majesty's white gauntlets were soiled.
While riding home he bethought him
that a two handled cup would prevent
a recurrence of this, so his majesty
had two handled cup made at the
royal potteries and sent it to the inn
On his next visit he called again for
wine, when, to his establishment, the
maid, having received Instructions
from her mistress to be very careful Of
the kings cup, presented it to him by
holding it herself by each Of its han
dies. At once the happy idea struck
the king of cup with three handles,
which was promptly acted upon, as his
majesty quantity said, Surely, out Of
three handles l shall be able to get
one" Hence the loving cup.

The English Are UnmiIitarr.

Partly from historical and partly per-
haps from racial causes the English
are essentially unmilitary They resent
the control of soldiers. They distrust
military ideals. No government that
ever existed in this country was more
unpopular than that of Oliver Cromwell
and his major generals. It's unpopu-
larity left an indelible mark on English
institutions. For many years it made
it impossible to have standing army.
Even when the course of events made
it necessary to concede that much to
the military necessities of the time it
still remained a maxim for centuries
with all politicians that as little power
as possible must be granted to the SOL
diers; that their business was to fight
our wars, and, this being done, that
there was little or no place for them in
the body polite.
We do not think it necessary to de-
fend this attitude of mind. Like most
popular feelings, it is largely unjust,
but also, like many popular feelings, it
is based to some extent on a true con-
ception. Politically, using the word in
its largest sense, the domination Of the
military idea in state is calamitOus.
1t tends, we believe, to destroy individ-
uality and is a serious menace to indi-
vidual liberty. - English Monthly Re-
view.

4 Shock to Richard.

Mabel had been waiting for her low

age. Her heart turned to stone as she
thought Of him, young, slender, but
brave to rashness and recklessness,
closeted alone with her stern father in
the grim old library. The door opened
at last, and he stood before her, flush
on his cheeks and an expression in his
eye.

asked with trembling eagerness. He
held her in his arms for a moment
without speaking.

'And what did be say, Richard? Tell
me what he said! He refused youi
Oh, your eyes tell me! He refused; he
will not give me to your But l will be

But Richard looked down into her
pleading face and shook his head slow
ly, like man in a dream.
"Tell me, then, for / cannot wait!
Was he brutal and cruel to you? What
did he do? What did he say?"
Richard drew a long, deep breath and
again looked down at the face turned
up to meet his troubled glance. He
sighed and whispered slowly:

CENTERS OF INTELLIGENCE.
Cities In This Country That Lead in
the Production of Printed
Matter,

Nearly 2S.000.00o pounds of print
ed matter, designed for general dis
semination, was shipped in one
month last year by publishers at the
rate of a cent pound at the hun
dred largest post offices in the Unit
ed States, ranging from New York
at the top to Fort Worth, Tex. at
the foot, the total amount of such
shipments having risen from 100000
600 pounds in 1896 to 100000, 900 in
1900. These shipments of printed
matter, collected and trans mitted by
the post office department., consti-
tute a very fair gauge of the dis
tributing points of news and litera-
ture in the United States, and the
relation which they bear to each
other is peculiS' and has little ref
erence to population, says the New
York Sun.
New York stands at the head with
more than % per cent. of the whole
shipments of the country Chicago
follows with about two-thirds of the
shipments of New York. Then fol-
low st. Louis, Philadelphia and BoS-
ton, in the order named, BoSton'S
shipments seeming unduly low, and
then Kansas City, Cincinnati and Au-
gusta, Me-, the shipments of Augusta
seeming unduly high. Mime apolis,
San Francisco, Pittsburg, Detroit,
St. Paul, Cleveland and Milwaukee
follow-all of them minor but pop
ulous cities-and then come Spring
field, O., and Elgin, Ill, two small
places, Springfield being nota bic on
account of it's output of agricultural
machinery, and Eigin on account of
its manufacture of watches and it's
shipments of condensed milk.

SURE CURE FOR BLUES.
Turn Up the Corners of Your Month
nnd Keep On Trying
to Smile.

"A well-known doctor of Minneapo-
lis, who has made a specially of nerv
Gus disea ses, has found a new rem
edy for 1.-The blues" AS no drugs are
admins tered, he has felt safe in eX-
perimenting with at least Il half hun
dred melancholy patients, and now de-
clares himself thoroughly satisfied
with the good results of his treat
ment, says the Minneapolis Journal.
His prescription reads something like
this: eff you keep the corners of your
mouth turned up you can't feel blue"
The directions for taking are: Smile,
keep on smiling, don't stop smiling"
1t sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Well,
just try turning up the corners of your
mouth, regardless of your mood, and
see how it makes you feel; then draw
the corners of your mouth down and
note the effect, and you will be willing
to declare there's something in it,"
The doctor treats his nervous pa
tientS o medicine when necessary, but
when the case is one of pure melan-
choly without bodily i'll. he simply rec
ommends the smile care. He has the
patient to remain in his Office and
smile; if it isn't the genuine article, it
must at least be an upward curvature
of the corners of the mouth, and the
better feelings follow inevitably. The
treatments are followed up regularly,
and the patients all testify to their
good effect. 1t takes considera bic per-
suasion to induce some of them to APP
ply the cure, and, of course, the great
er number of patients are women, for
when a man is blue he is bound o be
blue in spite of everything, but a wom-
an is more easily persuaded to try to
find a cure.
The doctor declares that if pers ons
will only draw down the corners of
their mouths and use sufficient will
power. they can actually shed tears.
On the other hand. if they will per
sistently keep the corners of the mouth
turned up pleasant. h oughts will chase
away the gloomy forebodings. His
discovery grew out of an experience in.
his own home. His wife was of
nervous and rather morbid tempera-
ment, and when in a Respondent mood
he would ask her to "smile a little"
until the saying came to be a house
hold joke. But it brought about good
results, and then came the inspirat ton
to try the same cure on others.
The doctor has not pa tented his rem
edy. and it is free to all who choose to
take advantage of it.
