t'Take care of yourself, /" say our friends.
''rn try to, I" we answer. We do take a little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army Of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
inhammations and concessions, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have a cold on the chest, place a Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. If you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau.
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid a serious sickness. Nc
other applications, or any other form Of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have a dis
tinct and positive action and are curative tt
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma
tism, the grip Cback and chest) and all sim
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer
ers from cold weather complaints, SHOULD

him with questions as to his studies,
al of which he answered in a straight
forward way. Then. after asking him
about his fellow pupils, she wanted to
know if he did not find that many Of
the boys at the public schools were

Pope Leo XIII. will leave his p SON

THE DIAMOND SPLIT.
A Peculiar and Very Rare Accident
to a Fine Gem.

TO a EAmG UtMs
Secretary Harry Pulliam Of the Pitts
burg baseball club, who has been in
this city on a visit for some time,
smashed and utterly destroyed a five
hundred dollar diamond at the Louis
vile hotel recently, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal.
It was such an accident as will not
happen to a diamond once in 10000
times, so Mr. Pulliam feels that it is
Outrageous fortune" with a venge-
ance.
Anywhere but in Louisville" he
said, 'it wouldn't have happened-old
hard luck Louisville" And he thought
of the erstwhile Col0nels' long years Of
struggling in the National league
against the baseball demon of i'll luck.
The stone was set in a ring which had
been given him by the members of the
4 Pittsburg team last fall 1t was of
the fiery white variety, and for its size,
a little more than two carats, was un-
usually valuable and handsome. The
gold claws which held the stone in
place were heavy and one would have
supposed would have given the stone
ample protection against any injury it
might receive in a fall.
Mr.. Pulliam was bathing at the time.
He had had his hands in warm water,
and the ring was still on his finger.
He started to take it off and had with
drawn it from his finger when it slip
ped from his grasp to the marble floor
Of the bathroom. 1t happened to strike
at the one point necessary to cause its
destruction. However, the fall would
not have affected it in the least were
it not for the fact that the gem was
warm and the marble floor was cold
The conditions were just right for such
an accident, and the stone, falling on
the fatal point, was shattered and ruin
. ed. 1t was split in two as evenly as il
lapidary had done the work. The
upper part was still held in place by
: tile gold claws, while the lower hall
+ lay against the base of the settings.
G. P. Kendrick, who saw the rinl
! after the accident, said that he had Il
his whole experience as a jeweler heart
of three such cases and that such acci
dents to diamonds were generally rare
about twenty-five years ago Louis
Vile woman broke large diamond il
identically the same manner. She wa
:. washing her hands in warm water an
, let her ring fall on a cold surface @
: some kind Some years ago ! saw al
other case Of the kind in the Hoffma
/, House lobby in New York. A gentle
: man took stone from his wallet va
: ued at about $4,000, to show to som
Of his friends. 1t slipped from hi
: hands and fell to the marble floor.
= was literally shattered. Mr.. Pullial
I. could have hit that diamond with
hammer a hundred times and wOuldn
:, have made any impression upon it.
= skilled lapidary can take damon
u and after close study can determine i
grain. Then by slight blow he can CHI
- it in the direction he wishes. Mr.. Pu
n liam's ring so happened to fall on Il
20 grain and was just at the correct tel
\ perature to smash"

BOOK PLATES.
Those Owned by Both Common and
IlIustricus Folk.

IiIustricus Folk.
When a man has built up a library
Of his own, he is likely to want book
plate. Perhaps his fondness for his
own plate leads him to become a col
lector The chief object of a book
plate is to claim ownership of the vol
ume in which it is inserted ana to pro
tect the owner against loss. 1t also
labels the volume as one Of a collec-
ton, and, best of all. it gratifes the
sense of possession by giving books a
personal character. AS each man
chooses the design of his own plate or
has it chosen for him by some ac-
quaintance, it becomes a mirror of his
originality or his want of it.
The plates usually bear the words
Eek libris," which signify from the
books Of" and the owners name or
initials follow; but, however simple or
elaborate look plates may be. they are
in the main ornamental designs insert
ed on the inside cover of book, to in
dictate ownership.
Specimens occur on books printed as
early as 1916 but they became very
common in England. France and Ger
many during the last century. Since
1910 they have grown and hourished.
Book plates are divided into classes
merging imperceptibly into one anoth
er. There is the armorial device. which
may be very aorid or merely the coat
of arms with The owners name. Or
they may be allegOrical. thus giving
scope for the humor or even the ego
tism of the originator George Wash
ington's book plate is. of course, keenly
interesting. The scarcity of it. as well
as the distinguished name it bears,
caused it to be the only American
plate thought worthy of counterfeiting
1t bears the Washington coat of arms
inclosed in a shell-like frame, surround
ed by sprays and flowers. On ribbon
at the base is the motto. "Exitus ActG
Probat"
Book plates have been found belong
ing to eleven Of the signers Of the Dec
laration of independence. John Adams
introduced what might be called tn

When Livingstone died Ii few years
ago, says The Northwestern Christian
Advocate, there was not a civilized
town in central Africa. Now Living
stonia is to be lighted by electricity.
The cost Of the machinery and its
transportation to the mission was about
$4,000 The only source Of illumina-
ton for the home or the school or the
church has been hitherto kerosene, OBJ
tanned at cost. by the time it reaches
Lake Nyassa, Of $3.50 a gallon. Steam
power being out of the question on ac
count Of the scarcity of fuel, it was
suggested that the falls of the river
Manchewe, near to sc mission, be
used for the producuon of light and
the driving Of machinery. The machin
cry is OH it's way an was to be SCI
up this month. The n tural waterfall
will thus thrash wheat. grind the foul

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
