sensitive Scot rebukes the London
DAILY Chronicle for saying that his
couhtrymen pronounce man mon. :,
The absurd form 'mon,' he writes. "is
the hall mark of Scots vernacular as
written by southern pen, and its in
trusion has often lent additional sad
ness to comic journalism, even, alas.
to the pages OF our chief humorous
periodical. In the north of England
mon certainly occurs; in Scottish
speech never. In Scott and Stevenson
one may look for it in vain. The
broad, soft vocalization of the word i'm
Lothian dialect lies somewhere be-
tween 'maun' and man. but as it
cannot be literally symbolized the
word should be spelt in dialect pas
sages simply as in English"

Wigs For Hire.

"Men do not hire street wigs" said n
New York wigmaker. The man who
wears a wig constantly owns it. But
there are nevertheless many wigs hired
out. Actors, for example, hire wigs,
and wigs are rented for masqueraders
and costume parties, and sometimes
wigs are rented for surprises. SO that
after all wigs are included in the great
list of things that can be hired which
list would be found, fancy, to include
pretty much everything that could be
named"

A willy Anawer.

The shah of Persia once asked a
group Of his courtiers whom they
thought the greater man, himself or
his father. At first he could get no re-
ply to so dangerous question, the an
swer to which might cost the courtiers
their heads.
At last a willy old courtier said
"Your father, sire, for although you
are equal to your father in all other re-
spects in this he is superior to you,
that he had a greater son than any you
have"

Mr.. Wooley says: ~ was subject for
years to attacks of backache or pains
through the loins and kidneys, general
ly of a dull, heavy, aching nature, but
often when the weather changed or
when l moved awkwardly they became
sharp twinges of pain. AS / was doing
work which required STOPPING it was
very painful; exceedingly so if / caught
cold, which as rule settled in my loins.

a great deal, but shortly after began
the treatment the aching abated, and

Slaves of n Lifetime.

Beard appears to grow at the same
rate and to follow the same rules of
personal conduct as the hair Of the
head. So If man began shaving when
he was 16 and lives to be 40 years old
he will have cut more than a little bit
off the top. If he could keep in posi-
ton all he has thrown away, a head Of
hair 80 feet long and a beard 81 feet
long, all in one bunch, would enable
him to travel with a circus summers
and sit in n store window to advertise
a hair restorer in the winter.-Ainslee's

'htsC ltcNsGrfNX.
Many travellers returning from China
have commented upon the apparently
singular lack of knowledge OF the dis
tances across their country or between
their towns that exists among the Chi
nese. III at one town you inquire the
distance TO the next, you may be told
that IL is 20 II (One-thlrd of a mile). but
upon arriving at the town you will be
surprised TO find the distance back TO
the town from which YOU have lust
come is "A Ii and that the cost of Jour
neylng back again is correspondingly
greater than the cost 10 go 10 ii.
The Chinese measure distance not bv
rule but by the amount of physical en-
ergy required 10 traverse them. Their
wage is based on a unit of energy, the
amount that IL takes them TO carry a
given load, one picul one Ii, on level
ground. III the road from A 10 Il is
down hill, the distance is regarded as
less than the actual linear distance be-
cause 1t is supposed to take less energy
TO travel In that direction, or, as the
Chinese say, ''the Ii are short" 1t nat
urally follows that in travelling in the
other direction, from b back to A, the
road being a gradual ascent, a greater
expenditure Of energy is necessary.
The Ii are long" and in order to get
ralr compensation for their work the
carriers must see that the distance and
the charges are correspondingly in
creased. With this explanation what
has often appeared as vagary of the
Chinese becomes simple and reasona-
ble.-Leslie's Weekly.

Slight chills, accompanied by shiv- headaches; these followed by frequent sneeZing: heat and so1cEcc. at the top of the larynx, along the course of the windpipe, with hoarseEess and dry cough; flying pains in the back, knees and various parts of the body; weight and anxiety in the region of the heart; depression of the spirits, together with the sudden and extra ordinary prostration of strength.

 Get full eight hours sleep, and take a cold bath on arising, if you can stand it.
 If you can't stand the bath hire a masseur. If you cant afford mas sages, have the body rubbed down.
 Avoid eXcesses of all kinds, especi- ally in eating and drinking, but don't go too long without food.
