The "show" and the Snowy Peopl

The "Show" and the Snowy People.
Society" in England is divided into
two classes-show people and snowy
people. To the first society belongs;
the second are anxious to belong to
society"
OF the former there are comparative
ly few. 1t is a feature of the times
that there are very many Of the latter.
The show people are those who, be-
cause Of their position, their popularity
or their abilities, have attained promi-
nence and are more or less associated
together In the social life Of their pc
Rod.
The snowy people, without the posi-
ton, the popularity or the abilities,
strive to become prominent by display,
extravaganza, eccentricities or self ad-
vertisement Their carriages are paint
ed In the most glaring color; they are
dressed extensively even on ordinary
occasions; they are tireless and tire
some In their endeavors to appear to
be associated with society" their life
may be described as one Of continuous
deceit and disappointment, and they
take offense on the least provocation
and are implacable in their vindictive-
ness.-London Truth.

Chamberlaln's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with itt
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. It not only cures
colds and grip effectually and perma-
nently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting In pneumonia. 1t Ia
also a certain cure for Group. Whoop'
ing cough is not dangerous when this
remedy Is given. 1t contains no
opium or other harmful substance
and may be given as confidently to a
baby as to an adult. 1t Is also pleas
ant to take. When all OF these facts
are taken into consideration 1t Is not
surprising that people in foreign
lanos, as we'll as at home, esteem this
remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having
used it. For sale by All Medicine

What He Was.

A man Of letters-of poor physique
recently knocked policeman down and
Is still at large to tell the tale. 1t was
on the bank Of the upper Thames,
where a notice bids Pedestrians to en-
ter the towing path by the roadway"
The man Of letters, however, knew the
short cut and took it, running into a
huge Berkshire constable. "See that
notice board?" remarked the constable,
blocking the narrow path. The man Of
letters looked, considered, and replied.
But you see I'm not q pedestrian"
The constable considered him from his
hat to his boots and back again. why,
what are you then" he asked. I'm a
Congregationalist," said the man Of let

Strawberries. Strawberries
Crates are now in Season.

One of the most novel as we'll as
substantial strawberry crate now on
the market is made by the Green
bush Mfg. Co., at Greenbush, Va,

important point which all growers OF
berries will appreciate is in the fact,
that they are putting thirty-three
baskets In every crate thereby insur-
ing plenty of cups. This is a home
industry and is worthy Of the pat
ronage of the public. All parties
using crates will do well to write the
above named firm for prices which
they will find in keeping with things
in general.
They also wish to express their ap.
probation of all past favors granted
them and kindly solicit continuance
of the same. They cordially invite
the public to visit their works al

ceive a hearty welcome and be shown

Lore of the Clover,

Any one who carries about four
leaved clover will be lucky and will
have the power of discovering ghosts
or evil spirits. With 1t under the pill

BOOK COVERS.
All of the Cloth For Them Is Made
From Cotton Fabric.

From Cotton Fabric.
All of the cloth used in the binding
Of books is made from cotton fabric,
vet one would not say so on seeing the
finished product. Some of 1t looks ex-
actly like coarse linen. Other styles
have an appearance of the finest kind
of silk, while others have various sorts
of finishes that look like leatheret, can
vas. watered silk and thousand diff
ferent designs.
When the cloth comes from the mills
II is treated in various ways to pre-
pare it for the dyeing process, which Is
the most important. Different kinds OF
sizing are used in the different grades,
and after this is done 1t Is ready for
the color machines.
These are really the same sort Of ma
chimes that calico is made on. They
are built of great steel rolls or cams
that are heated to a high temperature
by means of live steam passing
through them constantly. The cloth
passes through boxes filed with the
aniline color that the cloth is expected
to be colored with. This is mixed with
a starch paste and is spread evenly all
through the cloth.
The latter then continues through the
steam heated cams and is finally rolled
up at the back of the machine in
heavy roll Of the desired color The diff
ferent finishes are given in a second
process. The cloth is passed through
very heavy and massive steel rolls
which have been engraved with the de-
sign that is wanted. Fine lines run
ming diagonally across the cloth VIII
give a silk effect, and there are many
other impressions that may be stamped
on in this way.-Springfeld Union.

BLOOD CIRCULATION.
Breathing and Its Relation to the
Secret of Good Health.


The secret of health, as every intelli-
gent physician knows, Is free and full
circulation Of the blood, and this circu-
lation is dependent absolutely on thor
ough oxygenation. In many cases
where erroneous habits Of living have
been so long continued that congestion
has become chronic in one shape or an
other-obesity. govt, rheumatism, con-
stipation or tuberculosis having
camped In the system and crippled it
the patient is not apt to be In a condi-
ton to readily assimilate a sufficient
quantity of oxygen direct from the at
mosphere. The breathing apparatus
must first be properly developed. so
that the patient shall be able to grad
ually increase the supply of air to the
system, until at last he RECEIVERS the
normal power of deep breathing.
With the building up Of the lungs
through proper breathing there is a
metabolism OF all the tissues ana or
cans. so that, for most men, breathing
exercises are more important than any
mere muscular exercise. Not only the
lungs. but all the internal organs are
brought into play by correct breathing.
1t develops the heart, stomach, liver
and kidneys directly and indirectly ana
nourishes all these organs as they
should be nourishcd by more blood and
better blood In constant and regular
circulation. Breathing. therefore, Is n
sovereign remedy for our national ais
ease of nervous depletion. 1t might
we'll replace the countless tonics' slim
ulants and anodynes now so commonly
resorted to. where results are nothing
less than tragic in thousands OF cases

The Boys In Gray.

A question often asked, according to
the United Service, is why the army
cadets at West Point wear gray uni
form, while the uniform of the army
is blue. The origin Of the distinction
dates back to the war Of 1924.
when the commissary general OF the
army could not procure the blue cloth
required for General Winfield SCOTS
brigade, and so they were clad In gray.
So distinguished was the conduct OF
that brigade at Lundy's Lane and Chip
pewa that when, after the war Of 1912,
q reorganization of West Point Mill
tary academy was made, out Of compli-
ment to General Scott and his brigade
the uniform Of the corps Of cadets was
changed from blue to gray.

A tn Mnhn.

You can't punish a mob unless you
punish it while 1t Is a mob. A man Is
not the same man while he Is in mob
as he is while he is an individual, and
this is one reason why 1t Is 80 difficult
ever to punish and individual for what
he did as a part Of mob. This dis
tinction Is not fanciful; 1t is a real diff
ference, and public sentiment and pros
ecuting officers and juries recognize 1t,
whether they know it or not. For this
reason 1t is generally useless to hope
for the punishment Of men after a mob
has dispersed.-World's Work.

almost sallow, with somewhat long,
loose hair, that draggled from beneath
the yellow straw hat we'll over the

The Twelve Jurymen.

A prisoner is tried by twelve Of his
fellow countrymen. This custom Is a
thousand years old, and we get 1t from
the Vikings. The Vikings divided their
country up into cantons, which were
subdivided into twelve portions, each
under chieftain. When a malefactor
was brought to justice 1t was usual for
each chieftain to select a man from the
district over which he ruled and COM
pei him to try the prisoner, the verdict
of these twelve men being declared by
the Judge to be final.

the following curious incident show
ing the Mohammedan hatred for pigs;
1--WE shot two wart hogs, one a partic-
ularly big boar. Alan wished to keep
the tusks. but Of course none OF the
Somalis would touch the unclean ami
NAL. At last bride Of rupees IN
duced the Midgan woman to chop the
tusks out with Ratchet Even then
she would not touch them and with
the help Of two sticks. which she used
like a pair Of tongs, put them on
camel. Then there was long dispute
about the hatchet No one would touch
II 1t had been defiled. OF course this
was pure affectation and playing to the
gallery on the ayah's part At home
with her native tribe she would have
gorged all the pig she could get But
It flattered the Somalis, and we march
ed off, the ayah holding the Ratchet at
arms length as II 1t were going to bite
her"

Our own opinion, which we have fire.
quently set forth, is that alcoholic bev-
erages are Of value in certain forms OF
disease and that their value depends
not so much upon the alcohol, but upon
the vinous ethers which these bever-
ages contain or should contain. No
medical man doubts that intemperance
in alcohol is an appalling factor In the
spread of crime. disease and poverty.
and 1t is undoubtedly the duty OF the
medical profession to endeavor to stay
the curse of drink by every means In
its power.-London Lancet.

Why Many Ycunu Men Fail.

1t is the fault and the cause Of tie
failure OF so many bright, capable
young men that, being put into a Ger
tain workday .rut, they make no effort
to climb Or even crawl out of it; they
do not seek the work that is not rou
tine and go beyond the terms of the
bond in search of additional labor in
order to attract the approving notice
OF their employers. They do not &C
to their posts before nor remain a,
them after the fixed hour. They are
content to do enough, and no more
than enough, to earn their hire. The
life of the average clerk is generally
genteel, easy, clearly; he need no,
soil his hands nor his clothes, and his
ambition is satisfied with these pleas

Russian Ambassador.

friendship of his country with this,
with the shreWd diplomatic sense for
which he is noted, determined to
place at the head of his embassy here
a man who would equal the British
ambassador in talents, family, wealth,
tact and connections on this side of
the water.
DR.. Won Holleben's alleged mistakes
were seized upon by the emperor as
an excuse to summon him to Ger
many and to appoint as temporary
head of the embassy Freiherr Speck
Won Sternburg, minister and envoy on
extraordinary mission. The story of
Baron Won Sternburg's career is al
most identical with that of the British
ambassador. He comes from an old
Saxon house, his mother was Of
Scotch origin and he was born at
Leeds, England, where his father was
engaged in business, but returned to
Germany to inherit the title and es-
tates that came to him by the death
Of the head of his family. Baron
or Freiherr Won Sternburg-he pre-
fers the older German title-speaks
English as fuently as he does his
native tongue. He passed the early
years Of his life in England, where
he learned the characteristics Of the
Anglo-Saxon race to which he Is al
lied. His long residence in America
