The value of machinery given in the census

AN INTERPRETATION OF THE CENSUS STATISTICS REGARD

There is no seemingly plausible reason for this
stationary attitude for the general output of the

operation of its cotton factories. which employ

MARK WELL HIS HAIR.

The Superstitious Club was having
its meeting.
The Germantown girl who had been
told to hunt up data regarding man
and matrimony rose to report.
Her conclusions were as follows
When you have decided to select a
husband, look well to his hair. 1t is
a good indication of his character.
Men with fine brown hair, light or
dark, make the best husbands. They
are thoughtful. sympathetic and less
apt to be selfish than their very light
or very dark brothers.
Men with fine light hair are smart
but conceited. and If they do not pro-
pose until late in life they are liable
to grow cross and selfish.
Men whose hair turns prematurely
gray are more dependable They may
be little nervous, but are intellectual,
sympathetic and very honorable.
Nine times out OF ten the man with
red hair is smart. When you run
across the tenth, he is the stupidest
person under the sun.

Charles f. Doom, the young catch

National League team next season, is
native of Cincinnati. He started
his career on the lots of that city
about five years ago, when lie became
a prominent amateur player. He is
% years old, of stocky build, and
one of the fastest and most accurate
throwers that ever stepped behind a
bat. Dooin's first professional en-.
gagement was with Indianapolis in 'S8,
but during the exhibition season he
met with an injury and was released.
His next experience was with Du-
buque, from which club he went to
st. Paul. AS Comiskey did not giEa
him chance he went home in disgust
and did not play professionally again
until last season, when he was with
the st. Joe Club of the Western league.

PHILOSOPHY FROM KANSAS.

When a man sees a sign keep Out"
he thinks 1t is meant for other people.
In books and newspapers, husband
always refers to his wife as MY dear"
A man will be very much interested
in his wife's gossip, and then scold her
for repeating such talk
If woman claims that she is not
suspicious, let her catch her husband
smiling to himself when he thinks he
is alone.
What has become OF the old-fash-
toned woman who was so neat that
when her broom was hanging up 1t

The people who depend upon the
weather to break the monotony in
their lives are complaining that this
perfect weather is becoming monoto-

After all the money spent in giving
girl knowledge OF art and music to
help her through life, the time comes
when she finds that that which helps

The sponge of commerce is obtained

finest quality is the Levantine, which.

Weak and Sickly Children

Who, perhaps, have inherited a weak
digestion, continually subject to stomach
troubles, loss of flesh and general weakness,
can be made healthy and strong by the use
of Vogeer's Curative Compound. Every
doctor who is at all up to date will say that
Vogeler's Curative Compound will make the
blood pure and rich, bring colour to the
cheeks, and put on flesh where health de-
mands it. Children who have been weak
and sickly since birth should be treated with
small doses of Vogeler's Curative Compound,
from two to FIVE drops, twice daily, most
satisfactory results will follow. tits the best
of all medicines, because it is made from the
formula of great living physician.
