GARDENING A HUMoRIsT.
When Mark Twain Was fin Trouble Dan Beard Used to ChesS
 Him Up,

The financial burden which Mark Twain carried some years ago weighed on his mind heavily. In these moments of despondency, there was one tactfu1 friend who could make the humorist forget his troubles. This was Dan Beard, the artist, who illus trated some of Twain's books, relates an exchange.
 s'Dan Beard, there is no tonic that can equal the company of cheerful man." said the hurnorist,, as he en- tered the artists studio.
 @Ah, but have such pleasant sub- ject to work upon. that l am not in need of either man or tonic for my cheerfulness, retorted the artist. Beg pardon, 1t is I that need the tonic, and that is why I am here, . said Twain, forlorn1y.
 t"Then allow me to prescribe a dose of your own medicine" and Mark was handed copy of his book which Beard had been studying.
 ''I thank you," replied the humor- ist, cit took me 8 year to get that medicine out of my system, and do not propose to imbibe it again.
 A discussion of the book was fol lowed by a hearty dinner, and Twain left his friend having received the cheer that he needed.

WHY WOMEN WORRY.
Because There Is Too Mnch of MOr
 notony in Their Mode of Life,

If 8. woman is to protect herself from the ravages of worry and so retain her youth for a longer period, she must come into more frequent contact with other people, as her husband does, and read good books: she must relieve the monotony of her duties and the limit ing influence of confinement within four walls by taking outdoor exercise-a walk every day or spin on a bicycle: in short, she must exercise the body and mind in healthful manner, and she will find the bloom of youth and health remain with her for years after 1t has faded in other women of the same age, says the Boston Republic.
 @The ordinary woman" says ceIe- brated physician, Heads such a monot- onous existence that her mind has no occupation but worry. What she needs is to come out of herself much more than she does. She must have inter course with more people and take more exercise. This can be done without neglecting the home, and every right minded man will do his best to secure for his mother or his sister or his wife these aids to the retention of youth fu1ness of body and mind"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-12-21

General business fs fair1y active tor the season, says Banker Henry Clews. Clearing house returns and railroad earnings show only slight reacttonary tendencies. generally explained in the first case by lessened speculation and in che latter by smaller iron ship ments. The west seems to be enjoy ing uninterrupted prosperity, and the south Is particularly exuberant over the high price of cotton and the conse- qnent prosperity of planters. The burden of dear cotton tails with spe- cial severity upon the mills, some of which may be forced into temporary curtadlmenf but the south as a whole Is likely to have more money to spend Tn 1904 than ever before. Cotton also proved to be an important factor in our exports. Last month. November. our merchandise exports aggregated sl6o, 100000, or $35,0O0, GOO more than Tn the same month last year. Nearly the whole Of this increase. $32, 500, ,OOo was in cotton, and was due to high prices and backwardness of the crop While our November exports were only twice exceeded, our imports amounted to only $77.0o0,000, compared with 1885, 100000 last year. This left an excess of exports this year of $S3, ,OOo, 900, against less than $4O,O0o,o00 a year ago. So favorable a trade balance easily explains the recent influx of gol, and suggests it's further continuance for period, the present tendency being for diminished imports regardless of the export movement, although the lat ter promises good results for the cur rent month.

Radfographang Criminals.

Roentgen rays will soon be made uss of by the Parisian police for the tden- tif1cation of criminals, says the London Telegraph. Some 16,000 photographic plates of cases of fractured bones, ab- normal formations, etc., have already been collected, chiefly from the hos pftals. Of course all these do not rep resent portions of the internal anato- my of criminal persons. But the Paris police go on the principle that people who have not yet broken the law may do so some day. These plates are ac- cordingly being classified after the method invented by M. Bertillon for identification by finger marks and measurements of the body. It is pro posed that in future all convicted per sons shall be photographed as they are now ssanthropomefrized.

There have grown up in all the coun- tries of Europe, and are growing up in this country, private manufactories that will aid the government in the solution of the various ordnance prob lems brought forward, says writer in the Scientific American. Tn many re- spects a private organization is more likely to bring forward improvements than is the government service. Not the least Of these is the fact that it must continually be bringing things forward. It can live in no other way, and if its staffs are well equipped and it's measures are wise, it should bring forward many good things things tbat are likely to last, and that are in the nature of sound progress and not merely changes. Only great steel works having large capital and con- trolled by directors willing to encour- age the, development of ordnance in their works, can succeed at this task. It is needless to point out the part the government may play In this develop ment. If the government officers, both those who control law-making and those in the executive branches. do not do what they can to aid such move nlent, it is likely that it may fail, and that what might have become a valu- able public servant may be destroyed The history Of all countries shows in comparatively modern times-in the last thirty or forty years-the up- building Of such private ordnance fac tories. There is no feature of the de ve1opment of modern ordnance in this country more interesting and impor- tant than the evolution and equipment of great mana1factories capable of sup plying the material necessary for the national defense. We now have many establishments more or less well equipped in various lines, and 1t is to be earnestly hoped that the public at large. and governmental officers hav- ing power directly in the premises, will interest themselves actively in the growth of these. Manufactories pro- dncing ordnance and armor, having in hand an extremely specialized branch, and looking only to the government for work of this character, are especially interesting in this connection.

Causes of Headache.

With a little seIf-examination 1t is not a difficult thing to trace the cause of headaches, which are so numerous. These are overstudy, overwork indoors, want of fresh air in sleeping rooms, in- sufficient exercise, too much or too little food, neglect of the bath, besides many other causes which might be put more coucisely as neglect of the ordinary rules of health. Irregular meals, work and study indoors, sitting in an un- natural position are other causes of this very prevalent ailment. Instead of making your stomach receptacle for drugs, try to find out the cause of your headache, and then 1t will be an easy matter to cure it-by preventing it, American Queen.

DRIVEN TO IT.
Politics the Only Thing He Could Go At Because He Didn't Fit In
 Anywhere Else.

The politician was reminiscent and some one took advantage of the fact to ask him a pertinent question, re- 1ates Elliott Flower, in the Brooklyn Eagle.
 "How did you happen to go into politics?' was the question.
 Frankly" was the reply. "I was driven to it."
 Driven to it?"
 "Yes. You see, I wasn't cut out for profession. I didn't have the neces- sary educational advantages, and didn't take kindly to study. anyway
 "You might have tried a clerkship?
 sFWell, I didn't seem to fit in there very we'll, either. There seemed to be about six applicants for one job, and my qualifications weren't sufficient to get me the job under those circum- stances. There were always others who could write better or figure bet ter.'
 Why not trade, then?"
