A Merging of Formulas.

A commercial traveller well known
in the cycle trade on both sides of
the Atlantic adds this to the collec-
ton Of jokes on newly made happy
fathers:
The hero is the manufacturer of
the wheel which the narrator sells.
Being compelled to go away on a
business trip about the time an in
teresting domestic event was expect
ed, he left orders for the nurse to
wire him results according to the
following formula:
If boy, EsGentleman's safety ar
rived"
If girl, Gladys safety arrived"
The fathers state of mind may
be imagined when, few days later,
he received a telegram containing
the one word:
s'Tandem. Denver News.

Sip Your MIX Slowly.

Many people complain that they
cannot drink milk without being
distressed by it. The reason is that
they drink ititoo fast. If a glass Of
milk is swallowed hastily, it enters
the stomach and then forms in one
solid, curdled mass difficult Of d.
gestion. At least four minutes
should be occupied in drinking a
glass of milk, SO that in reaching
the stomach it will be SO distributed
that when coagulated, as it must
be by the gastric juice, instead Of
being in one hard, condensed mass,
it will be more in the form Of a
sponge.

NECESSITY FOR SMILES.
A Discourse on the Desirability Of a
Happy Countenance.

Certain kindly disposed persons
are in the habit Of advising man
kind in a phrase peculiar to photog-
raphers to SSlook pleasant" whatever
be their state and condition and to
insist that even aching hearts should
be carried beneath smiling counte-
nances. Yet just as there are peo-
pie who object to those regions
where perpetual sunshine prevails
and where clouds and storms are
unknown, SO there are those who
would find nonotonous an ever
cloudless countenance. AS an anti
dote to melancholy Keats suggested
that when ones beloved exhibited
some erich anger" to
Imprison her soft hand and let her rave
And feed deep, deep upon her peerless
eyes,
Of course there are smiles more
heartrending than tears and tears
more cheering than smiles, while
the Cheshire cat variety Of express
sion is pleasant to the point Of ex~
ASPIRATION. The smile upon the face
of Leonardo da Vinci's celebrated
Norma Lisa is uncomfortable to some
people, while over others it casts a
spell not to be resisted. It is said
that the American feminine counte-
nance is one that leans toward
smiles, and if foreign testimony is
to be trusted there is cause for
smiling complacency in the demon
strated facts that American women
are the best dressed as well as the
most independent and problem free
of all women. To have the right
things on ones body and the wrong
things off ones mind is certainly
to be as happy as it is possible for
womankind to be. But as for the
necessity for smiling in all situa-
lions and under all circumstances
that must rest with the individual,
who will probably decide that he
will look as he feels and smile when
he pleases Chicago Tribune.

Brain-Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori.
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind of food Is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part of the
body, but 1t will sustain every other part.
Yet, however good your food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for their
appearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses OF Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine Of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver TO healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get

Look at Your Mail.

The postal authorities at Washington,
recognizing the liability of postmasters to
make mistakes in getting letters in wrong
boxes, have fixed a penalty of 500 on
persons taking out of the office other than
their own and not returning it. The law
is TO have people iook at their mail before
taking it cut of the Office and If they
should have mail other than their own
they must return 1t at once. This also
includes newspapers. The excuse that ii
is the postmaster's fault "cuts no ice" If
