An Invisible Alter Eco.

it is curious and interesting to
note that the British Columbian
tribe of the Shanakons have a soul
belief which is an almost exact
counterpart of that cherished by the
old Israelites They believe that
every being has its double or
shadow, thin, pale figure, seldom or
never seen 10y mortal eyes, which
after death descends to an abode
beneath the earth and there leads
a sad and gloomy existence The
Israelites called this place sheol ;
the Shanakons know it as eotea.

ONE GENERAL REMEDY.
II Operates as Effectively For the Fat
as the Lean.

The pretty stenographer had
never worked for a physician before,
and hence, when on this first morn
ing office hours began, she settled
back IN her chair to listen with as
much interest as though she were Mt
matinee. The first patient was
a young man whose padded coat
would not conceal the narrowness of
his shoulders and the weakness of
ms chest. He was a very punv
young man indeed.
Doctor be said, Il want TO get
fat. l want to resemble a man
rather than a lead pencil. l want
to wear "A bathing suit without
shame"
The physician answered: 'Rise
at : O'Clock and exercise an hour
with chest weights and Indian clubs.
Then take a cold bath and break
fast without coffee or tea. During
the day cOntrive somehow to get a
two hours walk and sleep at least
nine hours a night. Don't smoke.
II YOU follow these directions, You'll
Gain ten pounds in a month"
After the thin young man had
gone a fat young woman entered.
Doctor" she said, make me
thin. Take off most of this too
solid flesh. Let me wear a straight
front like other girls"
The doctor prescribed: Rise at
: O'Clock and exercise an hour.
Then take q cold bath and for
breakfast have no coffee or sweets.
Get two hours walk during the
day and sleep at least nine hours
every night. You'll lose ten pounds
a month If YOU obey me-"
The patient left, and the stenog-
rapher asked the doctor how it was
he prescribed for leanness and for
fairness the same thing. Because"
he said. that thing is exercise and
exercise makes YOU right. Ii makes
YOU. If Won are too thin. stouter. and
If YOU are too stout, thinner. 1t is
the only remedy l have confidence
in.'-Philadelphia Record.

laos on Their Clothes.

In southern Italy one of the pc
culiar customs of the peasants is the
wearing of price marks on new suits
of clothes. whereas in other coun-
tries the dealers ticket and tag are
removed the moment a suit is
bought; in the sunny toe and heel
of the European "boot" they are
fastened on the tighter and worn
until they fall off. The object of
this, presumably, is to show neigh
bors that you have new clothes,
bought on such day and costing so
much at SO-and-sO's.
