Although the empire of Japan is said to be a paradise of children" where they are allowed to do very much as they please md where they seldom 1T ever cry. their life is not all play. The little boys and girls have their work to do. but in many sklllful ways they turn work Into play. Take, for instance, the little girls yho have baby sisters or brothers to care for. They tuck the youngsters into their queer garments and so on with their games of ball. If the baby grows tired and begins to fret. the little mother" jounces it up and down over her shoulder with pc cullar humping motion of her back without stopping the game. All the time she sings some pretty song.

I stood one Saturday afternoon on the porch of a Luray Ya) hotel and saw fle past Q hundred or more dark les returning from work, each and ev- cry one of them carrying "watermil- lion" under hts arm. They had been pald of. and convenient farm wagon loaded with melons happened to pass as they aled along, and the darkies all bought.
 One young buck after hugging that melon for several blocks, ''just couldn't stand lt no longer" and without ado sat down upon the curb. and in the ab- sence of a jackknife he deftly tapped the melon against the edge of the curb until 1t broke asunder. Mansfield In transforming his Jekyll face into that of Hyde upon the stage never equaled the lightning change of countenance exhibited by that darky. One moment his eyes bulged, his mouth distorted, his teeth gllstened, and his face fairly glowcd with pleasurable expectancy and in the twlnkllng Of an eye when the parted halves of that unripe and white seeded melon fell from his pal sled hands his eyes contracted to mere slits showing m angry. snakelike red, hls face became of m ashen hue-call 1t pale # you wlll-and through his slightly parted lips he hissed out im- precatlon after lmprecation upon the farmer showing the fact clearly that the disappointed one was past grand master in the art of profanity.-Forest and Stream.

DYsPEPTICS
Their Lives Made Miserable
by the Failure of Drugs to
Relieve Their Trouble.
HOW TO GET WELL.

There are thousands upon thousands of
dyspeptics in this country to-day who
have given up all hope of ever being made
we'll Why's Because they have hereto
fore been doctoring symptoms instead Of
the disease itself.
With one exception among the thous-
ands of remedies used you will find that
they promise to cure dyspepsia, indiges-
ton, fatulency, gastritis, nervous dyspep-
STA and constipation, each and every one
of which are merely symptoms of dis
eased digestive organs, and not diseases
in themselves. If you will read the pamph-
let's and directions accompanying these
preparations, you will find that all are
composed of digestive ferments, soda,
nux and a catbartic of some sort-but
there is not one single article i'll the whole
list TO heal the diseased stomach.
Now when you understand that digeS-
tive ferments do not and cannot digest
food but simply decompos, it, and that
every other ingredient in these prepare
tions is placed there to relieve the symp-
toms alone, you will at once see why only
temporary relief has been obtained and
the disease itself not cured
The annual Increase in the number of
persons afflicted with dyspepsia or ind,
gesti"1, and your own experience with
tHe TeueuleS uStu, OuSab " u dth SOu
that doctoring the symptoms of the dis
ease is practically useless SO far rs per
manent cure GOES, aad the sooner Those
afflicted with diseased digestive organs
fad this out, the better it will be for
them.
We are not going to enter into lengthy
explanation as to why MON the new
vegetable remedy, has cured more cases
of so-called dyspepsia in six months, than
all other remedies in ten years but mere
" state that this new cure heals the dis
eased organs themselves and does not at
tempt to relieve the symptoms. MONA
is made this way because every intelli
gent phvsicien in the ceuntrv knows that
when the diseased digestive organs are
cured. all symptoms will readily disap-
peal. Therefore, we only say hat MI o.NA
heals the diseased organs themselves, and
does 1t quickly and permanently.

Victims of Electricity.

A table has been compiled by the In
surance companies of the losses by cleo
tricity during the nine months ending on
December |. Two hundred and forty-six
persons have been electrocuted during
these nine months, or an average of al
most 80 month; 515 have been manned,
III horses have been killed and there
were 442 fires.
In the table no account has been kept
OF the Indirect accidents through the use
Of electricity, such as trolley car acct
dents, electric mobile accidents, and the
like, but only where the direct electric
shock caused the death or manning or
the fire.
The losses by electric fires alone have
averaged over million dollars month.
These losses have become 80 serious that
the accident, life and fire insurance COM
paDies are considering the adyisability OF
taking united action against them. The
insurance rate in these companies was
fixed before the great and increasing use
Of electricity, and the electrical risk was
not figured in, so that the rates are up
set and require readjustment through
these additional losses.
The winter months show more dam
age ny eieClTlClLy Cndn the summer
months. During the summer there are
fewer fires and not 40 many electrocu-
tions, while after every winters storm
there is a long list of casualties and
losses from imperfect Insulation, crossed
and broken wires, and misled currents.
While on one side better sanitation
and medical and surgical care are tend
ing to increase the length of the average
human life, the development of these
new dangers acts as an Offset to what
would otherwise be clean gain.
Ii 10 the direct deaths by electricity
the indirect deaths were added, the total
Is sufficient to make an appreciable
change in the death rate. The Brook
Ign trolley lines alone are responsible
for about 100 deaths per annum, and
with the development of the trolley sys-
tenn and the increase in speed the num-
Der of deaths is keeping pace.
One Of the results Ia great increase
In accident insurance. 1t Is hardly d
score OF years since accident insurance
was invented, and now it has become an
extensive and profitable branch of the
insurance field.

Terrible Events.

Terrible events with great loss of life
and fearful suffering have been the
record of recent weeks in the news
papers of the country.
First and worst came the volcanic
cataclysms in Central America and the
Antilles, involving the destruction of
two cities and scores of thousands of
lives. The loss of life in the zone of the
West Indian eruption is now estimated
at 3d. 600, but the renewed and violent
activity of Mont Pelee gives rise to fear
that the death list is yet to be increased.
Close upon the horrors in the Caribbees
came the naptha explosion in Pittsburg,
which burned scores of people to death,
injured many and destroyed much prop
erty. Then occurred the Texas tornado,
which wiped out town and killed near
ly hundred people, besides doing
much injury over large extent of coun-
try. Hardly had these gruesome tidings
been received when news came of the
Tennessee coal mine explosion, the num-
Der of fatalities in which is placed at
226 by the latest count. Almost at the
same time the village of Honlton was
nearly one-third destroyed by fire, and
finally Cincinatti was swept by a storm
which caused the loss of six lives and
property worth a million, And later an
explosion in coal mine in Fernie, near
Vancouver, British Columbia, occurred
causing the death of almost $50 opera
tives.
1t is sincerely hoped we shall not be
obliged to chronicle longer disasters to
this extent and that we shall have more
agreeable news to read and affairs to-
contemplate.

The Charity of the Nation.
Washington Starr

The energy and generosity already dis
played by the government in the matter
of relieving the sufferings of the surviv.
ors Of the volcano-stricken West Indian
Islands should not operate as check up.
on the charitable impulses of the people
at large. The President has shown that
he expects them to supplement the work
of the government by giving literally to
the relief funds and has named num-
Der of men to receive their contributions.
The district has already responded to
the extent of about thirteen hundred
dollars, and the contributions continue
to arrive In such number and amounts as
to lead to the belief that the capital will
make a good showing when the totals
are reckoned.
Everybody should remember that in a
work Of this character the great need is
for prompt relief. A dollar given now
will be worth two given week hence.
For the buying of provisions and sup.
plies Is In progress and Its scale will be
determined by the rate at which the
funds are furnished from all sources.
II sharp pace Is set at the outset the
United States will be able to put enough
food 10 the devastated Islands within a
few days to prevent heavy loss of life.
