A Safeguard Against Curiosity.

When prominent picture dealer of

curiosity, his wife always laughs and

is coming.

gins, 81 decided to close the small ex-
hibition studio which leads from the
gallery, and put Private on the door,
just for an experiment. There was an
important collection of water colors by
one of our best artists in the gallery.

one there was in one place or another
little smear of gliding transferred to
the paper from the carefully prepared
knob of the door marked Private"
When the story has been accepted
with laughter by his listeners, some
body is sure to ask: 'How about the
one catalogue that was undecoratedY
To this query the picture dealer has
one invariable answer:

young woman who afterward became

have painted and decorated the walls
and carved and inlaid the wood of the
chapels. The abbot's crozier, formed
of thousands of pieces, was made by
one of the monks.
Among the monks the various trades
and callings are represented, and you
see men in brown frocks turning or
planning wood, setting type, sewing,
mixing drugs, mending kettles and
shoeing horses as well as tilling the
fields, gathering vegetables, tending
swine, milking COWS and driving teams.
There are two classes of Trappists-
the choir religious and the lay brothers.
Their mode of life is the same in its
essentials, but the first named are
bound to perform duty in the choir and
have a longer litany but shorter hours
of labor. The choir monks are general
ly men of education. with a knowledge
of Latin, in which most of their SER
vices are read. Some of them are
priests who have resigned their pulpits.
some are lawyers. some are teachers,
but under the rule of silence it may be
that no man knows his neighbor,
though he stand elbow to elbow with
him in the choir stalls for twenty
years. 1t is said that some of the
monks of Gethsemane have not heard
of the Spanish war. and that, as an
affair of an outside and far-off world,
it would not interest them if they did.
There are about eighty monks in the
Abbey of Gethsemane. and it is said
that there is a slow increase.

GRIPS RAvACES
After Effects Are Often Worse
Than the Trouble Itself How
They May Be Avoided and
Good 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 itself and which seem to
battle all efforts of physicians. A
specific, however, has been found
which not only will quickly restore
the health after an attack of grip
and expel the lingering germs, but,
working through the blood will rem
der the system proof against the dis
ease. In hundreds of cases it has
been shown that DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People have accomp-
lished 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
/ Mas one of its victims and the disease
left me in bad state. / formerly
had an excellent memory, but after
the attack l could scarcely remember
anything. l had severe pains in the
top and back of my head and was
dizzy by spells. / would lie awaek
until nearly morning and then fall
into sleep that was not restful. My
heart action was weak and / was a
victim of nervousness. In fact my
health was shattered by the attack OF
the grip and recovery seemed hope
less.
"After being afflicted in this man
ner for several weeks, | happened to
read an advertisement of DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
Thinking they might do me good, l
began taking them at once. In three
days l was much better and could
sleep like child at night After
using box of the pills my memory
was restored and l felt greatly en-
couraged. l continued taking them
until l had used three boxes and
was in better health than l had enjoy
ed for several years.

USE OF TOBACCO IN EUROPE.
1t Is Three Hundred and Fifty Years
Since the Weed Was introduced.


Three hundred and fifty years ago,
according to the allegations. Jean Nicot
introduced tobacco into Europe. 1t was
from his name that the word "nico-
tine" was derived. The French gov
eminent has just made an appropria-
ton for the erection of a bronze statue
to Nicot. 1t is to be set up in front of
the main government tobacco factory
in Paris. This French claim to the in
PRODUCTION of tobacco into Europe is
somewhat at variance with the general
supposition that Sir Walter Raleigh
first carried the fragrant weed across
the water to the old country. Raleigh
smoked his Virginia tobacco in the
presence of Queen Elizabeth in or
about the year 1856. Thirty-four years
earlier, however, Jean Moot, while
French ambassador to Portugal, pur-
chased some tobacco seeds that had
been brought over from Florida and
sent some of them to France. A year
later he presented some of the plants
to Catherine De Medici, and together
they smoked the dried leaves in pipes.
1t is interesting in this connection
to recall that when tobacco smoking
was first introduced into Europe, first
by Moot and later by Raleigh, it was
extremely unpopular. 1t was called
1.-The sinking habit" and at least two
popes, Urban VIII. and Innocent XI.,
issued DEGREES against it. A Sultan of
Turkey-in which country smoking Is
now almost universal-made it crime
punishable by the offenders having
their pipes thrust through their noses.
In Russia the noses of the smokers
were cut off. King James |. of En-
gland characterized smoking as "a Gus
tom loathsome to the eye, hateful to
the nose, harmful to the brain, danger
Gus to the lungs, and in the black, stink
ing fume thereof nearest resembling
the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit
that is bottomless. ''-Savannah News.

School Pupils Designations.

Teachers generally agree on one
thing-they say let night entertain

school child's life, come on Friday or
Saturday night. but do not let them
break in on study days. One teacher
tells me she would much prefer it did
not occur at all, and she points out as

parted and hanging ina long braid down
her back. mot only my best pupil"
she adds, ''but my best girl; sweet-tem-

why? Simply because she has lovely,

UPON A CATARACT'S BRINK.
Thrilling Experience of a Voyager on
the ottawa River.

the Ottawa River.
The horrible experiences of one who
ahas been swept away by some merci-
less current and finds himself at last
sdt the brink Of a cataract may possibly
be imagined, but there are few who
survive TO relate to us the particulars of
stance where a man was saved at the
very edge of the falls.
There are few more imposing bits of
scenery in Canada than where the OF
tawa River pours laundering and foam
ing over the Chaudiere Falls. When
the water in the river is low, as 1t is
Hn autumn, there is a fall of about forty
fleet, but when the river is swollen by
melting SHOWS in the spring the APP
parent depth of the fall is lessened. At
any time the rush and swirl of the
great river over this ledge of rock Is a
sight worth seeing.
In some places the water pours over
In dense and irresistible volume, while
at other points a shallow stream will
spray itself over higher table of rock.
On the upper Ottawa are foated
booms of logs which feed the large
lumber industries of that region. Han
ding these wet logs is a treacherous
business, and it is easy to lose ones
foothold and fall into the swift stream.
Accidents of this kind occur frequent
ly. The only case that did not have a
fatal termination Is the one referred to
here.
The man was busy forking these logs
with those sharp tongs used to swing
them about and draw them in, when
he missed his footing and fell into the
river. Though a strong swimmer, he
could not withstand the current and
was swept out into the stream and on
toward the falls. Nearing the falls, he
found himself still conscious, and it
happened that he was being foated
over one of those tables of rock where
the water was so shallow that he felt
himself touch. He struggled to regain
his feet, and was successful In so do
ing, so that he found himself standing
in, perhaps, a foot of rushing water, at
the brink of the cataract, a great cur
rent surging by him on every hand.
But 1t seemed hopeless. He saw no
way of getting to shore, and no one
from the shore could get to him. Many
people on the banks of the river were
watching him and trying to study out
some plan to save him. Finally large
derrick was brought to bear, such as is
used in building operations. A great
arm with ropes was swung out over
the current, and when the man had
fastened himself securely with the
ropes he was raised up high and swung
in, just as a large stone would be raised
in constructing a building.
