WHAT GOES UP
Must Come Down.

Nothing is more certain than that
the use of so called tonics, stimulants
and medicines, which depend upon
alcohol for their effect is injurious to
| health in the long run.
What goes up must come down and
the elevation of spirits, the temporary
eXhilaration resulting from a dose OF
medicine containing alcohol, will GER
! tainly be followed in a few hours by
a corresponding depression to relieve
which another dose must be taken.
In other words, many liquid patent
medicines derive their effect entirely
! from the alcohol they contain.
Alcohol, and medicines containing ii,
are temporary stimulants and not in
any sense a true tonic. In fact it is
doubtful if any medicine or drug Is a
real tonic.
A true tonic is something which will
renew, replenish. build up the exhaust
ed nervous system and wasted tissues
of the body, something that will en-
rich the blood and endow it with the
proper proportions of red and white
! corpuscles, which prevent or destroy
disease germs. This is what a real tonic
| should do and no drug or alcoholic
stmulant win do 1t.
The only true tonic in nature Is
Whole some food, thoroughly digested.
Every particle Of nervous energy, every
minute muscle, fibre and drop of blood
Is created daily from the food we
digest
The mere eating OF food has little
to do with the repair of waste tissue
but the perfect digestion of the food
eaten has everything to do with 1t.

Question of Beauty.

In the early Indiana days. when both
judges and attorneys literally erode the
circuit a newly elected judge, noted
for his lack of personal beauty. was
plodding along on horseback between
two county-seats one fine INNER day.
Suddenly he was confronted by a hunt
er, who unslung his squirrel rifle from
his shoulder, and ordered the horse.
man to dismount. Somewhat startled
by this peremptory command, the jur-
list began to demonstrate. He was
quickly cut short, however, by the re-
mark: Its no use talking. I long ago
swore hat if I ever met a homlier
mar than I am I'd shoot him on sight"
The Judge, sizing up the situation,
promptly got off his horse. Folding his
arms he faced MS assailant, and said:
If I am any homlier than you are, for
heavens sake do shoot and be quick
about it," Needless to say, his wit
saved him.-Argonaut.

The Care OF Children.

When it is a possible thing, have a
separate bed for every child, even
though there are two beds in a room.
This is by no means an expensive
matter. Good legs can be turned or,
made at home and supplied with
casters. Fasten these onto woven
wire springs, and over them fasten
a good mattress of curled hair or
moss. Make a cover of heavy I'M
bleached muslin to protect the mat
tress, and then make it up as you
would any bed. A pretty outer cover
or spread made of art denim, linen
or other suitable material, made with
a f1ounce reaching to the floor, will
convert this bed into an attractive
divan If the room is needed during
the day. A nice bath is very refresh
ing just before bedtime, and is usually
productive of quiet sleep. 1t means
considerable work for the busy mother
of several children, but it generally
pays in the end.

words.
II mean that Gilbert Rickerby is dead
died nearly a week ago; that he lies
In his grave and is almost forgotten by
this time. Where have you been wan
dering, you mailman, not to know
that?"
Mr.. Reeks opened his mouth as if to
say something, shut it again hurriedly,
and turned and made for the door. But
before he reached it, however, the hand
Of Nugent Leathwood fell upon his
shoulder and twisted him round, and
the eyes of Nugent L~eathwood were
looking into his qualing ones.
Don't run away" said the quie,
voice. "There is some game on here
which I do not understand. Come, now,
who rut you on to this game, and who
are you, really? You are not Gilbert
Rickerby; of that I am certain. But
you know something about him.. Why,
don't you know that Gilbert Rickerby
was a young man OF twenty-six?"
Mr.. Reeks. nodded feebly. about
that, I should Think he said.
"Oh! so you know him, do you? This
grows interesting. Come, sit down, my
friend, and let us hear what you have
to say for yourself" He pushed the
reluctant Mr.. Reeks into a chair, and
seated himself on the edge Of the table
close beside MIN. "Now, let me hear
what you have to say about this Gill
bert Rickerby."
George Reeks saw, only too plainly
that he was in a remarkably tight
place; even in his muddled state, at the
moment he was quite capablec of recog-
nizing that fact. Moreover, this calm
man, with the quiet voice and the dark
hair, had abouI him a certain sense of
power that was not to be denied. There
fore, with some attempt to treat the
matter as a mere joke, and with many
labored apologies for the mistake lie
had made, the little man made a full
confession--pointing out how he had
been tempted by some faint hope of the
reward which was offered. Nugent
Leathwood listened with the closest at

then, and occasionally breaking in with
a short. dry laugh. At the end of the re-

A Dead Mans Money.

However startling it may have been
to Nugent Leathwood to have this man
standing before him and proclaimlne
himself by that name, which already
seemed to haunt him night and day, he
soon recovered from the shock; saw
that whatever this man was or what
ever he might know. he was, at the
best, a weak little creature, half-stu-
pefed with drink and scarcely knowing
at the moment who he was or what lie
said. However, precautions had to lie

BURNERS,
SUBSTITUTES RENDERING THE BUsl-
NESS A LOST ART.
Gas and Gasoline Have Almost Dis
placed Charcoal as q H"eat-ProducinR
substance-The Man Who Burns Char"
coal Leads a Gypsy Lite.

Charcoal burning in the United
States, so far as the product concerns
the cities. gives promise Of becoming a
lost art. Gas and gasoline have almost
displaced it as a heat-producing sub
stance. With the thinning of the for
ests, too, the source of supply Is cut.
Yet in the woods of Michigan, Wiscon-
sin. Ohio and Pennsylvania, a cons

Charcoal in its perfect state is g
baked, not a burnt wood. Here is ting
distinction that keeps the charcoal
burner awake sometimes from 4S to 64|
hours at a stretch, especially if he BID
alone. For the baking of charcoal tho
wood is piled in a circle about a central
pit, leaving jnterstices through which
the heat from the fire burning in the
center may circulate to the outer edge
Of the pile. Turf is piled over all until
the pile resembles a volcano. 1t is the
object to keep the wood covered unit
it cannot break into a blaze. Higx
winds are troublesome. The. sign =
trouble. in a kiln is a thin blue smGnos
that points to fire in the wood. This
fire is put out by smothering from
the outside. Only experience teaches
when the charcoal is sufficiently baked.
When this period is reached it has lost
about three-fourths of it's weight. An
old observation is to the effect that
ten horses will draw the wood and
three horses will draw the charcoal
away" The slower the wood has baked
the more substance and weight will be
in the Goals. When the pyre has burn
ed sufficiently the fire is put out by
drenching the heap with water. Even
poured through the heap, it may take
three days for it to cool sufficiently for
the charcoal to be removed. A kiln will
produce 200 to $50 bushels of the Goals.
The charcoal burner leads a gypsy
life. His cabin is zeal by the kilns.
and in it is the picturesque disorder
that is natural to man in the woods.
His kitchen utensils are most in evil
dence. His bed is wholly secondary.
He eats to live and lives to work with
only an occasional spree in some
nearby town. In the woods sobriety is
everything to his craft. He is a won
der to the visitors, as he plunges into
thick smoke and heat, and works in
the choking fumes with the fortitude
of a salamander. When the kiln is
working best the smoke and fumes are
worst, and to keep the kilns so necessi-
tateS the constant attention of the
burner. These fumes are considered
detrimental to health under ordinary
circumstances, but the compensating
life in the woods seems to make the
charcoal burner a hardy specimen of
his race.-Utica Globe. +,

a man than a woman. Her conduct in

Queen Alexandra, on the other hand,

George Frederick Ernest Albert. the
