gious Turk a fit If he saw how little
appreciation Americans show for the
rose and what little reverence they
have for It," spoke florist as he wrap
ped the foil about the stems Of q bou-
tonniere.
1.-The rose is beyond question the pref
tiest flower that blooms, and 1t was SO
considered by the Turks many years
before the conquest Of Granada. There
is a religious legend generally believed
in throughout Turkey that the red rose
sprang from drop Of the great proph-
ct Mohammed's blood. Everything
beautiful in nature is ascribed to him.
The Turks, therefore, have great rev.
erence for the flower and allow 1t to
bloom and die untouched. except on
state occasions and for the purpose OF
making rosewater.
after the conquest by the Turks
they would not worship in any church
until the walls were cleansed and wash
ed with rosewater and thus purified by
the blood Of the prophet. 1t Is used on
the body for the same purpose. A Turk
whose conscience is stung by some act
or deed he has committed Will caress
and pay reverence to the rose to ap-
pease the wrath Of the prophet and
Allah.

A LASTING EFFECT.
This Evidence Should Prove
Every Claim. 4.

Relief from the pains and aches OF .
bad back Is always welcome to every
backache sufferer. but to cure Q lame,
weak or aching back Is what's wanted.
Cure It so it will stay cured. 1t can be
done. Here's the strongest evidence to
prove it.
Mr.. II. P. Smith, blacksmith, Of Elm
street, Amesbury, Mass, says: MRS.
Smith, from cold which settled In her
loins, suffered SO severely from backache
that she was unable to attend to the OF
binary household duties, often finding 1t
impossible to even make bed for three
months. I had read a great many state
ments of residents of Amesbury who pos
itively declared that Doan's Kidney Pills
had cured them of backache and other
symptoms of kidney complaint. This led
me to make some inquiries, and as re-
suit Mrs. Smith took a thorough course
of the treatment. It cured her. 1t is 90
long ago that am confident the results
are permanent. We never lose an oppor-
tunity of advising others who suffer from
either weakened or over-excited kidneys
to procure Doan's Kidney Pills, and we
know of scores in and around Amesbury
who have taken our advice and were not
only surprised but gratiied at the bene-
fits received"

cOOD ADVICE

A New York physician in addressing a
club of women, said that the corset has
been an article of feminine wear for 700
years, and he wisely concluded that it is
useless for men to seek its abolition. He,
therefore, spoke in favor of mending
rather than ending this part of woman's
costume, and confined himself to the
discussion of its abuse rather than its
use.
He declared that 100000 American
women are afflicted with floating kid
neys because of bad corsets, and he said
that the reason women use fans and men
do not lies in the corset. This physi-
clans prescription for corset wearers is
as follows: First, the softer the corset
the better; second, it should be laced
with two strings; third, it should be
open in the back; fourth, when laced the
lacings should form V, with the angle
of the V at the top; fifth, every woman
should lie down when putting on a
corset

a liberal response, he promptly turned
over the money to the suffering ones,
thinking that all would be well.

Our System of Notation.

Some system Of notation has been
used since time out Of memory. The
first record we have Of it Is Of figures
written with stick on fiat surface
covered with sand. Before that all
calculations were made with pebbles,
beans and the like. Even now the
Chinese do their calculating with little
stones or beads strung on wires, in q
frame. The Romans first used vertical
lines-I, II, III. etc.-to express num-
bers. The Arabic figures, which we
commonly use at the present time. are
Of much earlier date.
The Arabic system Is chiefly valu'
able on account of the great conven'
fence it affords by giving a figure q
value according to the place it occu
pies in the line. BY this system the
most enormous sums can be expressed
by the ten little characters which form
the numerical alphabet.

It has been recorded that General
Henry Knox. in 1888, was the great
est" Of II distinguished officers Of the
army. weighing 2S0 pounds. Noah
Brooks, in his book entitled "Henry
knox," gives the following incident re-
lating to the generals full habit:
With a Captain Sargent, he was Sc
lected to present the hard case Of the
starving and naked men at Valley
Forge to the attention Of committee
of congress. One of the congressman
wishing to show his wit and sarcasm
said that he had never seen a fattel
man than General Knox nor q better
dressed man than his associate.
Knox managed to keep his temper
and remained silent, but his subor
dinate retorted. "The corps. out of re
spect to congress and themselves, have
sent as their representative the only
man who had an ounce of superfuous
flesh on his body and the only othel
man who possessed complete suit Of
clothes"
