AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.

1t is easy TO keep well II we would
only observe each day few simple
rules of health.
The all important thing is to keep
the stomach right and to do this it is
not necessary to diet or to follow set
rule or bill of fare. Such pampering
simply makes n capricious appetite and
Il feeling that certain favorite articles
of food must be avoided.
Prof. Wicchold gives pretty good
advice on the subject: He
says: 81 am Us years old
and have neXer had II serious ill
ness. and at the same time my life has
been largely IN indoor one, but l early
discovered that the way to keep healthy
was to keep "A healthy stomach, not by
eating bran crackers or dieting of any
sort: ON the contrary, always eat
what my appetite Graves, but for the
past eight years ! have made II daily
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal and
attribute my robust health for a
man of my age to the regular daily
use of Stuart's Tablets.
My physician first advised me to use
them because he said they We're per
fectly harmless and were not secret
patent medicine, but contained only the
natural digestives, pcptones and dias-
tase. and after using them Il few weeks
| have never ceased to thank him for
his advice
| honestly believe the habit of taking
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals
Is the real health habit, because their
use brings health to the sick and aillng
and preserves health to the well and
strong"
Men and women past 80 years of
age, need safe digestive after meals
to insure IA perfect digestion and to
ward off disease, and the safest best
known and most widely used is Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
They are found in every well regu-
lated household from Maine to Califor-
mia and in Great Britain and Australia
are rapidly pushing their way into
popular favor.

these years has the animal been out

A SORCERER SCARE.
Kept French Villagers in Their Homes
for Several Evenings.

A young farmer living near Cha
vigny, a village in France, was at
tackled with consumption some time
ago and, as the local physician was
unable to do him any good, his ia
ther applied for advice to a sooth-
sayer, who duly visited the patient,
but proved Of such small service to
him that he died in a few days, says
the New York Herald.
TO the disconsolate father the
soothsayer then said: "Do not blame
me, for it is a sorcerer who has killed
your son by casting an evil eye on
him. This mischief is done, but for
tunately, can prevent the sorcerer
from doing any more. ] clearly
foresee that this evil-doer will re-
turn to the village some evening at
sunset, and that he will surely again
cast the evil eye on the first person
whom he meets at that time. If you
and l spread this news broadcast, it
is not likely that he will meet any
one as he enters the village, and thus
your son will be his onlyvictim,"
Within an hour or two everyone in
Chayigny had heard this strange pre-
diction, and as result there was not
human being in the streets when
the sun set that evening. For sew
eral days afterward the people locked
themselves in their houses at even
ing, and only now, it is said, are the
more skeptical among them begin

CHARACTER AND THE HAND.
French Author Draws on Well Known
People for Examples.

The hands Of 3Oprominent persons
are reproduced in a volume, "Char-
acter and the Hand" printed in Paris
and just received by SamuelP Avery,
the well-known collector The work
deals with the relations between the
form and lines Of the hand and the
character Of the individuals, aad the
author draws many deductions from
the network on the palms, the shape
Of the fingers and the form Of the
nails.
He divides the various kinds of
hands into groups, designated as fol-
lows: Intellectual hands, brilliant
hands, passionate hands, practical
hands, vulgar hands, insignificant
hands.
"Ihe hand Of the gorilla" writes
the author, sis an instrument Of quick
destruction" and the short, musculsf
fingers Of the brute bear out the au-
thor's statement The hand Of a
criminal, which follows, bears a strik-
ing resemblance to that Of the go
rilla.
Illustrating the brilliant hand'
appears a cut Of that of Puvis de
Chavannes, the fingers being narrow,
but blunt at the ends. The hand of
Jules Daiou, sculptor, is muscular,
the fingers short and fhe thumb stub
by in the extreme. Bluntness of fin
gers, with broad palm, comparative
ly free of lines, characteTizes the hand
of Carolus-Duran, the painter.
Most of the hands of artists shown
in the book exhibit similar character
istcs. That of Whistler, however, is
an exception. The fingers am slen-
der and tapering at the ends. The
hand is covered both on the back and
palm by network of irregular lines
and is typical, the author says, of the
extremely brilliant hand, combined
with the qualities of sarcasm and ag-
gressiyeness.
Contrary to what would be expect
ed, the hands of Sarasate, Alexandra
Petchnikoff and other violinists show
short, plump fingers, more like the
typical sculptor's hands than the 9th
ers in the book.
Among the passionate hands" is
that of Mounet-Sully, the tragedian,
which is one Of the most attractive, as
far as appearance goes, of all those H.
Illustrated. The fingers are well formed
and the few lines that mark the palm
accentuate the graceful contour Of the
member.
The hands Of Emile lola. Alexan-
DIRE Dumas, fills, and Bouguereau are
included in the practical hands"
A specific chapter is devoted to the
hands of women. "Maude Comes
hand" the author says, "is that of an
affectionate, enthusiastic and reason
ing woman, prudent and adroit in
love. She has coquetry, taste and
grace, and makes up her mind
quickly.
GIN the hand Of Mime. Rejane," he
writes, eve observe elegance and also
force. Note that the passion here is
secondary, the hand being conical in
shape; she profits also by a spirit of
tenderness"

COPY OF THE LORDS PRAYER,
Part of an Ancient Document Discovered
in Greece.

Eoil VI al AHI4Vul OOCumSul discovered
in Greece.
A modest but interesting addition
has recently been made to the early
documents Of the history of Chris
tianity, says the Tablet. This time it
comes, not from Egypt, but from
Greece. Nor is it a manuscript, but
an unassuming fragment Of a clay
sherd, found at Megara, and now in
the national museum at Athens.
What remains (abOut third of the
whole area) is some 81 by Al inches in
size, and contains part of the Greek
text of the Lords Prayer, from the
words: "Give us this day our daily

Christian monogram, DR.. Knopf,
who publishes the fragment in the
"Mittheilungen" of the German
Archaeological institute, notes that
the text was scratched on the wet
clay before it was baked; hence the
sherd must have been made actually

we have not to do with a
mere graffito. From the style of the
lettering, combined with the form of
the cruz monogrammatica, and the
absence Of the Doxology, he concludes
that the text belongs to the fourth
