Gures All Stomach Troubles.


Many q man with great brain power
and fine physique who started in life
with good prospects has failed to attain
rreat success because Of little idiosyn'
grasies, peculiarities of speech or man
her, things not in themselves vicious OF
wrong, but which render him disagree
able or unacceptable to those who have
dealings with him.
! II It were possible for US to write Of
all the little things which have cut
down the average of our success and
10 calculate just how much each has
contributed to the whole, it would be
most helpful.
For example, one young mans ad-
vancement has been cut down 20 per
cent by bad temper, a surly, disagree
able disposition; another's by careless
ness ia dress, an unkempt or slovenly
appearance, and yet another's by a
sharp tongue or an unkind habit OF
criticising.
Many a brilliant and capable stenog-
rapher has failed to advance because
she had disagreeable habits that annoy
ed her employer, who, while he recog-
nized her ability, preferred a less able
stenographer who had amiable and
agreeable qualities. The lack Of amia-
bility has stood in the way Of advance
ment Of many an employee who won
dered why he did not get along.-Suc-

The lawyers were discussing the mer'
its and dement's of a well known mem
her of the New Orleans bar who had
been gathered to his fathers, and one
of the party, says the New orleans
Times-Democrat, recalled the time
when he studied in the old mans office.
we had a copying clerk whose in
efficiency continually worked the judge
I'D to the point of explosion. One day
a wire basket fell off the top OF his
desk and scratched his cheek. NOT
having any courtplaster, he slapped on
three postage stamps and went on with
bis work.
A little later he had some papers 70
take to the United States court, and,
forgetting all about the stamps, he put
on his hat and went out.
As he entered the office the judge
raised his head and fixed him with an
astonished stare. The. clerk stopped
and looked frightened and finally ask
ed:
"Anything-er-wrong, sir"
eyes, sirp' Numbered the old gentle
man. "You are carrying too much
postage for second class matter"

The Ear,

AS delicate as the organ Of vision IL
that Of hearing, and as careful watch
should be kept upon It, so that no loss
Of that more exquisite sense may &C.
cur.
When several blind persons were
questioned as TO which they would
rather do without, their visual organs
or those of hearing, the majority de-
clared In favor Of hearing. We feel a
compassion for the blind; for the deaf
we are not often sympathetic. The
spectacle of a sightless individual
touches us to tears; that Of one who
cannot hear proyokes almost feeling
Of drollery. Yet no doubt the loss OF
one organ is as pathetic thing as the
loss Of the other.
Many erroneous ideas still exist In
the public mind that interfere seriously
with the work of the skilled aurist.
Too many people think that the ear IS
so delicate an organ that nothing
whatever can be done to alleviate any
distress arising therein and allow Il
trivial disorder that might be rectifed
by an aurist to bring about case of
partial deafness that settles into per-
manency.

noroer. of the Apothecary.

The distilled essential oil of almonds,
which when diluted supplies the popu-
lar favoring for sweets and confection-
cry known as ''ratafia," contains In It's
strongest form a sufficient percentage
Of hydrocyanic acid to make 1t highly
dangerous. A young man who was ex-
ecuting an order by pouring it from a
large bottle to smaller one noticed
that he had not put the label quite
straight on the smaller bottle and took
1t off again. Before replacing the label
he licked it to make sure Of its sticking
properly. But while pouring he had
inadvertently let drop or two trickle
on the outside of the bottle where he
had affixed the label Then when he
touched the label with his tongue he
felt as If something shot along that
member aud also a jump Of his heart.
So he rushed TO a tap, which was for
tunately close at hand, and put his
tongue under the running water. Never
as long as he lived, he said, would he
forget that poisoning sensation.-Cham-

rbe ADVICE Came Home to Roost.

The Advice Came Home to ROost.
The president of one Of the promi-
1ent railway corporations 10 America
was making a stirring address TO an
audience Of young men and dwelt
with particular emphasis on the neces-
sity Of making a good appearance.
"When you are looking for work"
he said, "be careful that you are pre-
sentable. If you have only $24 In
the world, spend $50 for suit Of
clothes. $3.50 for pair Of shoes, 80
cents for a hair cut and shave. Then
walk up to the job wherever 1t is and
ask for It ike a man."
This advice was greeted with great
applause, and the railway president
sat down amid a storm Of cheers.
The very next morning a dapper look
ing young fellow walked into the outer
Office of the orator and, handing note
TO the clerk, said, "Please give this to
the president" The note read as fol-
lows:
'T have paid $40 for this suit Of
clothes, $3.50 for pair of shoes and
80 cents for hair cut and a shave. L
have walked from Harlem, and l would
like Job as conductor on your road"
He got the job.

Dirt In Dainty Carpets.

For housewives who pride them
selves upon the spotless floor coverings
The Druggists Circular gives the fol
lowing recipe for removing spots of
dirt from carpets:
Make a suds with a good white soap
and hot water and add fuller's earth
to this until the consistency of thin
cream. Have plenty Of clean drying
cloths, q small scrubbing brush, large
sponge and a pail of fresh water. Put
some Of the cleaning mixture in a bowl
and dip the brush in it. Brush small
piece of the carpet with this; then
wash with the sponge and cold water.
Dry as much as possible with the
sponge and finally rub with dry cloths.
Continue this till you are sure that all
the carpet is clean; then let 1t dry.

Fhe Cat and the Tail.

Once upon a time a cat who prided
herself on her wit and wisdom was
prowling about the barn in search of
food and saw a tail protruding from q
hole.
'There is the conclusion Of a rat, ="
she said.
Then she crept stealthily toward II
until within striking distance, when
she made a jump and reached 1t with
her claws. Alas, 1t was not the ap-
pendage Of a rat, but the tail of a
snake, who Immediately turned and
gave her a mortal bite.
Moral.-It is dangerous to jump at
conclusions.

Startled the Natives.

Herrara, the Spanish historian, says
that Pizarro, when he landed in South
America, owed his life and those Of his
companions to the fact that one of the
party fell of his horse by accident.
The natives had succeeded IN cutting
of the retreat Of the Spaniards TO their
ships, when one Of the riders was
thrown. The Indians were so aston
ished at the dissolution Of partnership
that they took fight at once. They
had supposed horse and man to be one
animal.
