GRIPS RAYAGES
Aftef-Effeets Ire Often Worse than the Trouble Itself f-Hou They May Be Avoided and Good
 Hpa1th ppetnned
Health Restored
From the Journal, Kansas City, Mo.

Following every epidemic of the grip there remains trail of after effects which are often worse than the trouble i itself and which seem to baft1e all eff | forts of physicians. A specific how ever, has been found which not only will quickly restore the health after an attack of grip and eXpel the finger | ing germs, but, working through the blood, will render the system proof against the disease. In hundreds of cases it has been shown that pr. Will jams Pink Pills. for Pale People have accomplished this result One of the many recent cures is that of Mrs. J. B. Shaw, of 2101 Bellefontain avenue, Kansas City, Mo-, who says:
 When the grip was epidemic here was one of it's victims, and the dis ease left me in bad state. I formerly had an excellent memory, but after the attack I could scarcely remember any thing. I had severe pains in the top and back of my head and was dizzy by spells. I would lie awake until nearly morning and then fall into sleep that was not restful. My heart action was weak and I was a victim OI nCI IhOuoICSS III ldCI, lily ASoi1A was shattered by the attack of the grip and recovery seemed hopeless.
 After being afflicted in this man. ner for several weeks, I happened to read an advertisement of pr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Thinking they might do me good, began taking them at once. In three days I was much better and could sleep like a child at night. After using a box of the pills my memory was restored and I felt greatly encouraged. I continued taking them until I had used three boxes, and was in better health than I had enjoyed for several years.

The bell on historic old St. Johns church, ill Richmond, where Patrick Henry made his famous speech prior to the American Revolution, rang in tho twentieth century. This bell is thus given the distinction of being the only one in this country, with the possible exception of that on old Liberty hall, in Philadelphia, that has rung in three centuries. Old St. Johns bell has an interesting history.

Anronos ot Ice Tea.

Some construction workers were camped in a small Arkansan town. They boarded with an old woman whose ideas of culinary art were not of the latest approved style. One young man tired of the evening drink of cheap, hot tea. He asked the old lady why she did not serve iced tea. She replied that she never heard tell of it, and asked for information. He told her to make it the same as any other tea only put ice in it. That even ing she waited until he had seated him. self, then bestirred herself to the kitch- en. She hastened back with a steam ing cup of tea just brewed. In the cup was a small piece of ice.
 Here, take it quick" she said, "'fore the ice melts.''

COUNTERFEIT ART.
Americans Are Easily Swind1ed C
 Pictures by "OId Masters"

Americans Are Easily Swind1ed on Pictures by "Old Masters" There will doubtless never come a time in the history of the art world when the discovery of "oId masters will cease, certainly not as long as American picture buyers possess the almighty dollar and are willing to be swindied.
 Nearly every week in New York for the last year there have been auction sales of rare old masters" Some of them are rare. indeed; one that was shown at the Macbeth gallery and also in Detroit some time ago, supposed to be study of an old man by Rubens. the left hand of which was nearly twice the size of it's mate, and the term ''rare" did certainly apply very aptly to the flesh tints.
 Do people ever stop to think how many of these ''old masters" there are in existence? Any one may have an 'old master" these days who has the ''price to pay the dealer to find one or go abroad and get one made" There are many artists in Paris and else where who make a good living. or what they consider a good living, copy ing "Old masters" in the various gal lerieS to sell to dealers for little or nothing, and they in turn bring them to America and clear hundreds by sell ing them to some mOneyed art lover who ill some cases is doubtless in the possession of more money than judg- ment in art matters.
 One well known New York art col lectOr some time ago paid large sum for a certain painting that an enter priSing dealer had discovered" and who represented it to him as very rare and the only one in existence. The same gentleman while on q recent tour through Spain was shown the original painting upon the walls of a certain monastery. The sequel of the story does not say what he did with the dealer. If there be hereafter for these diScOverers of ''Old masters" their con- sciences, which seem very elastic. will have to do a deal of rubbering to get back to the required shape to fit them for their celestial abiding places or to meet the frOwns of the shades of de parted masters themselves News Tribune.

EIoguence and the Pea.

Our worthy forefathers were fond or rhetoric-particularl of funereal rhet- oric-and were not always quick to perceive the dividing line between the sublime and ridiculous. They seem, moreover, to have regarded the extraor- dinary as contributing an added and kindred element to the impressive. Many of their epitaphs show this, but few more completely than that of an estimable matron who perished un- timely in NeWburypOrt in the eight eenth century.
 Her tombstone on the crest of the burying hill is yet easily legible, with no more trouble than scraping bit of lichen here and there and kneeling to push away the long grass and intrud1 ing daisies. Thus it reads:

CHOOSING A CAPTAIN.
The Rough and Tumble Custom of the
 Japanese Fishermen of Hawaii,

Japanese Fishermen of Hawaii.
 Where several years ago the fishing for the supplying of the Honolulu mar ket was done almost exclusively by the natives in their canoes and a few Chinamen, now the bulk of the work is done by the Japanese, who are at it in great numbers.
 The boats which they use are built here after patterns used in Japan, and once in a while an Oriental steamer. ar irving from the west brings an5import ed fishing boat, which the fishermen think is superior to those of local manu- fracture. The boats are of a peculiar shape and are of different sizes, some able to accommodate but three men, which is an ordinary crew, and others are large enough for seven or eight .men.
 Up to the time that the vessel is launched there is no captain selected for the boat. The choosing of this i'm portant factor in every case is left un-
 til the boat is in the water. It is known who the members of the crew are, and from them the captain is selected.
 When the boat is in the water and mOCred securely, the members of the crew, who are generally the owners of the boat, strip themselves and get into the boat. Then the fun of making the selection of the commander begins. There is no voting or drawing of lots to settle the matter. At given signal from one of the crowd on shore, who are watching, the men in the boat be- gin with all their might to try to throw each other out into the water. Each man is against the other, and so the struggle, as a usual thing, lasts a long time and is remarkably exciting. All the time the play goes on the friends of the contestants yell words of cheer to the struggling men in the boat and throw buckets of water on them and into the boat, seemingly with the idea of making the battle-ground more slip pery as we'll as refreshing to the men at work. As soon as man is thrown out of the boat he must stay out, but may assist with water if he so desires. The man who stays in the boat longest, or rather who is able to put all the others out of the boat, has by his prow- @ss shown himself competent to be cap tain, and so he is greeted with much applause and showered with cOngratu- IatiOns at the termination of the scuftie. There is no appeal from the selection so made. and the man so chosen con tinues to be captain until he voluntarily retires or sells out his share in the boat.

And Yet He Could Write.

Among the public servants who are worried by foolish questions the super intendent of mails in the poStottice gets his full share. One of his visitors OF a certain occasion was man who saiG to the deputy who answered the cah at the window:
 ''I am going out of town today and want to get a letter to my brother, who Is on board the Majestic, and she is not due until Wednesday. l don't know where he will stay in New York or where he will go from here. Can you help me?"
 Certainly we can," said the clerk. "A mailhoat goes to meet the steamer. and if you address your letter properly and put domestic postage on it it will be delivered all right"
 But how shall l address it-where shall send itY''
 Address it John Smith. passenger on board incoming steamer Majestic. due in New York, Dec. 12.' That will reach him."
 "No city? No nothing?"
 That's all-just as I told you"
 The man thanked the clerk and went away, and came back little later with an addressed letter in his hand.
 Say" he said to the clerk, about that letter. I've addressed it and stamped it all right, but the mans name isn't John Smith. How about atY"-New York Tribune.

HnhieS In Greenland.

The bed of the baby Eskimo is not al. ways one of cider down. There are times of famine now and then when the condition of the ice makes hunting impossible. and old and young starve to death. Cases have been known on both shores of Baffin bay where ba- bies have been eaten by starving adults. but infanticide in Greenland is un- known because of belief that the spirit of a murdered infant turns into an evil spirit called Angiak that for ever haunts the entire village and brings endless misery and distress.
