THEY'RE WONDERS.
Young Married Mans Comment on
the Feminine Riddle

Say" remarked a young married
man, they're wonders, amt they?
yesterday my wife got out of bed
and ate about half pound of choco-
late cream candies, the remains of d
box that I'd fetched home the evening
before. After that she didn't want any
breakfast, but she drank couple of
cups of coffee. She went shopping in
the morning, and while shopping she
drank n strawberry soda and choc-
olate ice cream soda. For lunch she
had glass of milk, a couple of choc-
olate eclairs, a piece of hot mince pie
and some candy. Then she went shop
ping some.more and stopped at coun
ter where a woman was demonstrate
ing some new kind of pickles. Ny
wife ate about six of those pickles.
Then she fitted on TO another demon
strating' counter and went up against
plate Of some newfangled cereal,
covered with sirup. Then she had a
raspberry soda. Then she ate a little
dshful of some new kind of canned
salmon that some 'demonstrator' push
ed in her direction. Then she went to
the matinee, consuming during the per-
formance about pound of peanut brit
tie. When l got home, | found her ly
ing down, suffering from a bad head
ache.
"'Now l WONDER said she to ne,
what in the world could have given me
a headache|
"About a month ago she had cold
that | was afraid was going to develop
into pneumonia. She started it by GO
ing shopping during slushy, raw wealth
er in paper soled low shoes and thin
silk stockings. Then she stood for ten
minutes in the basement areaway in
her bare head and with a thin house
jacket on and house slippers, telling
the washerwoman how she wanted the
clothes done up. Then she took a red
hot bath and dressed Immediately and
went right out to buy the Sunday din
ner, standing outside the market house
for an hour or so talking with the wo-
men friends she met. Then she went
to the theater with me. against my
solemn protest, wearing nothing on her
head but an aigret that weighed one
eighth of grain, and it was cold
enough on that night to chase polar
bear into an ice cave.
"She had such a cold the next morn.
ing that she couldn't talk.
"'Now, what in the wide, wide
world said she to me when she'd got
her pipes thawed out little bit, could
have given me cold. do you thinkY
"Oh, they're wonders, all right
enough" concluded the young married
man, shaking his head dismally and
gazing at the ceiling of the car as if
the key to the eternal feminine riddle
were inscribed there. - Washington

A roar of laughter greeted this last

You cannot multiply or divide money
by money. You may repeat a smaller
sum of money as many times as it is
contained in a larger sum of money,
but that is very different thing. If
you repeat shillings as often as there
are hairs in a horses tail, you do not
multiply shillings by a horse tail.
Perhaps you did not know this before.
Never mind you need not be ashamed
Of your ignorance, for it was shared, as
has been demonstrated, by the entire
house of commons (bGr one member),
including the then chancellor of the

A Very Old Rule.

The oldest mathematic book in the
world is believed to be the "Papyrus
Rhind" in the British museum. pro
fessed to have been written by Ahmes,
a scribe of King Ra-a-us, about the pc
riod between 1000 and 1900 b. c. This
"Papyrus Rhind" was translated by
Eisenohr of Leipsic, and it was found
to contain "A rule for making square
equal in area to given circle. 1t was
not put forth as an original discovery,
but as the transcript of a treatise 800
years older still, which sends us back
to, approximately, 2J00 b. c., when
Egyptian mathematicians solved, or
thought they had solved, the problem
of squaring the circle.

HARDENED TO COLD.
Natives of Siberia Don't Mind n Be-
low Zero Temperature.

Frequently, when we could not ex-
pose our ears for two minutes without
having them frozen, says a traveller in
Siberia, the natives would go for an
hour at time with their hoods thrown
back from their heads, and when it re-
qured constant watchfulness to keep
our noses from freezing they did not
appear to notice the temperature at all.
One morning in January l stood in
perfect amazement at their disregard
of the low temperature They worked
for at least half an hour with bare
hands packing up the tent and utensils,
handling the packages and lashing
them together with icy seal thongs
without experiencing the least appar-
ent Inconvenience, while l partly froze

They were lying coiled up on small
deerslzins, with their backs to the en-
bers and their fur coats thrown loosely
over their naked bodies.
The coat of one of them had slipped
almost entirely off his body, leaving his
back and shoulders exposed to tenn
perature of IS degrees f. below zero,
and, though his hair was frosted, he
snored as soundly as if in comfortable
quarters.

MAIL CARRIERS CAR FARE.
Companies Are Paid n Lump Sum by
the Government.


the Government.
'Most people who spend 500 Il year
for car fare consider that they are con-
tributing literally toward the dividends
of the company" remarked Il postal
clerk, "but Uncle Sam spends nearly
S250,00O a year for the transportation
Of carriers in street cars in the different
free delivery cities.
For instance, including substitutes,
there are 2T5 carriers in Washington.
You may have observed that carriers,
when riding on the surface roads, do
not pay fares either with tickets or in
cash. The free delivery system allots
the Washington city postotlce an an
nual allowance of $4,000 to be used eX-
clusively for the car fare of letter car
riers. The postmaster is authorized TO
make contract with the companies to
transport all carriers while on duty for
n lump sum, which he does. The car
rier must have his pouch with him,
which is sign manual to the conduct
or that he is on duty, the mere wear
ing of his uniform being insufficient.
This rule obtains in some cities,
while in others special tickets are sold
at special rates to be used only by car
ricrs, or the cash is handed direct to
the carrier for certain number of
daily trips, depending upon the prac-
tice. Thus, while Washington receives
$1,000, Chicago gets $4,000 for letter
carriers car fare because of its large
territorial extent and distance between
stations on the prairie, oftentimes ne
cessitating a double fare by the car
rier. Boston is allowed $13,5O0 and
New York and Philadelphia about $10,-
COO each. Few people know that the
government eXpends such a large sum

THE KING SNAKE.
He Is the Deadly Enemy of Every
Poisonous Reptile.


OF all kind provisions of nature per-
haps the manner i'll which snakes are
brought into the world is the most re
markable. AS a rule all harmless
snakes are hatched from eggs, arriv-
ing in patches of from thirty to eighty.
The poisonous snakes, ON the other
hand, are born in litters of from seven
to eleven in number. There are ex-
ceptions to the rule, of course, but
they are few and unimportant, for,
though the deadly king cobra lays her
eggs to be hatched by the sun, they
are few In number, unlike the colonies
deposited by the harmless snakes.
Chief among the enemies of the
snakes are the reptiles themselves.
Cannibalism is general among the crea-
lures, the smaller snake serving as
food to the larger one. But chief of all
snakes that hunt their own kind for
the pleasure of slaughter is the long,
slender king snake, a constructor by
habit and a flash in his movements.
Among all reptiles the king snake
alone may truly be said to be the
friend of man. He is found through
out the whole south, where the rattler
and moccasin abound, summing himself
and preying for slaughter. Picked up
by human hand, the reptile seems
pleased with the touch. He makes
no effort to escape, but twines about
his captor's arm and makes himself
comfortable.
To the rattlesnake and to every 9TH
er dangerous snake, large or small
the king snake is terror. The poison
of rattler has no more effect on him
than so much moonshine. Instructive
ly the rattler knows his match and at
sight of king snake tries to escape,
if possible. In fight the king snake re-
lies wholly upon his incredible speed.
If the movements of an ordinary snake
seem quick to the human eye, the
movements of king snake would
seem instantaneous. In a twinkle the
long. lank fellow has wound himself
about the throat of an antagonist and,
his sinewy coils closing about the 9th
er's throat, chokes the wind out of
him.-New York Times.

James Lettuce of Canajohare, N. Y,
who writes:
Some years ago I was attacked with
pains in my back and side that were fear
ful in the extreme. l could not control
my kidneys at all and what came from
them was mucuous and blood. was in
terrible state and suffered intensely. The
partner of DR.. Vanderveer of Albany, N

ties, the flow from the bladder was much
cleaner, the pain stopped, and was saved
from the surgeons knife and am now

DR.. w. II. Morse, the famous phys-
clan of Westfield, n. j., has this to say
of this great medicine:
~ have known it to cure chronic in
tiammation of the kidneys, where the
attending physician pronounced the case
incurable"
No form of kidney, liver, bladder or
blood disease, or the distressing sickness
es so common to women, can long with
stand the great curative power of this
famous specific. "a small quantity of
this wonderful medicine has more
curative power than barrels of other
remedies" says a prominent New York
physician. Its record of cures has
made it famous in medical circles every
