Filipino Servant Maid.

When Mrs. Taft, wife Of secretary
of War Taft. visited the Philippine
reservation at the Worlds Fair, few
weeks ago, she was greatly impressed
says the st. Louis Republic, with the
beautiful and skilful Visayan girls
and expressed a desire to have ono
of the clever young women of the
island for her maid
The Visayan represent the pick and
flower of the island people, and in
point of refinement and intelligence
are first among the various tribes
now CHARTERED at the Philippine reser.
vation. They are the only Christian
people among the many Filipino
tribes at the exposition.
The Visayan girls are skilled work.
ers in embroidery. Many of them
are expert musicians. In addition to
speaking the Spanish language and
their native dialect, many of them
speak very good English.
Mrs Taft's request for one Of the
dainty visayan maidens to serve in
her washington home has been re-
peated by several St. Louis society
women.

Caesars.
The paper contained question al
which the young man looked with dis

What can you say about Caligula?'
He did not remember that Caligula
was the worst of long line of mad
and bad Roman emperors.
But a witless inspiration came tc
him, of the sort that often saves the
young and the ignorant. He wrote:
''The less said about Caligula, the
better"
He passed.

Ogle, her daughter. and the several
other persons known to have been in
the telegraph-station building, which
served as a dwelling-house for Mrs.
Ogle and her family. as well as for
Office uses. No trace of these bodies
has ever been found.
That the death of Mrs. Ogle was
mercifully sudden seems certain. The
frail building could not-long have with

statement, ''the woman operator at
Johnstown was cheerfully ticking
away that she had to abandon the

! BROUGHT LIFE BACK.
Man Dead from Electric Shock Had
His Circulation Restored.


His Circulation Restored.
Is it possible to restore life to a
person killed by an electric shock
DIR. George w. Grille, of Western Re-
serve Medical college, Cleveland. O.,
believes that it is. He experimental
year ago with the purpose OF demon
strating the value of adrenalin as a
life restorer. His subjects were dogs.
He succeeded in restoring to life an
animal that had been dead from
strangulation for Is minutes. The re-
suits of his experiments was then
given to the medical profession in a
paper in which he told how artificial
respiration had been induced by press
ure upon the thorax of the animal, the
injection Of a solution of salt water
and adrenalin into the veins doing the
rest
DIR. Grille has now tried the same
experiment upon human subject, the
body being taken two hours after
death. The attempt to restore life
was not wholly successful. but circu-
hours after death. ard an hour later
there was response from the
heart. leading the surgeons to believe
that If they had got the subject in time
they would have succeeded.
Thomas Kelly. lineman. who had
been stricken at the top of a telephone
pole by coming in contact with an
electric light wire. was the subject.
The accident happened about IL in
the forenoon. The body was taken as
soon as possible to the Western Re-
serve college. where DR.. Grille was
ready to begin with the experiment.
He was assisted by Dr. William f.
Lower, who has worked with him for
some time. Preparations had been
made in the college laboratory. The
body was placed upon "a table and
surrounded with hot water bottles.
One surgeon seized the right arm of
the deceased and sought to induce ar
tificial respiration. He soon an
nounced that the lungs were working,

lating the breast in the effort to assist
the artificial respiration, and another
opened the vein under the left arm
preparatory to injecting a solution of
salt and adrenalin. The mouth was
then opened, the tongue drawn for
ward with forceDs and oxygen admin
istered to the lungs. The physicians
worked desperately. One of them held
the pulse. After four hours DIR. Lower
announced that they had produced cir
culation, but that the heart refused to
respond.
With great rapidity and skill, cav
ity was opened, and while other sur
geons continued the injections of adre-
nalin and the administration of oxy-
gen, DIR. Lower kneaded the heart
with his hands. 1t was a forlorn hope.
but the surgeons did not despair. A
faint response on the part of the heart
was noticed two or three times. but
when the manipulation stopped the
response ceased.-Philadelp North

Hone On.

There was never day so misty and gray
That the blue was not somewhere above
1t;
There is never a mountain top ever SO
bleak,
That some little flower does not love it.
There was never night SO dreary and
That the stars were. not somewhere
shining;
There is never cloud so heavy and
black
That it has not silvery lining.
There is never a waitng-time, weary and
long.
That will not sometime have an ending;
The most beautiful part of the landscape
Is where
The sunshine and shadows are blending.
Into every life some shadows will fall.
But Heaven sends the sunshine of love:
Through the riffs in the clouds we may
if we will
See the beautiful blue above.
Then let us hope on though the way be
long
And the darkness be gathering fast:
For the turn in the road is a little way
Where the home-lights will greet us at
last.

A Chinese Girls Education.

A good story is told of Miss All Mae
Wong, who was visiting in Indianapo-
lis. Several years ago when Miss
Wong was studying with DR.. Marie
Haslep in China, she was asked to
play the organ for services in the Epis-
copal mission church in Shanghai. She
naturally thought to play something
that would please her American
friends. 1t was the celebration of the
communion and the congregation was
startled to hear the organ pealing
forth 1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner"
Miss Wong selected that as an air that
could not fail to please, never doubling
its appropriateness.
Those who have met Miss Wong are
astonished at her knowledge of Amer
lean history, noted American men and
American literature. Looking through
a book of views of Washington, d. c.,
she was most interested in pictures of
the statues of Washington, Daniel
Webster, John A. Logan and Garfield,
evincing knowledge of the life of each.

BUYING Ruslss IN BURMA.
A Peculiar Method of Bargaining Flo
the Precious Stones,

The peculiar business methods of
Oriental merchants are illustrated by
the manner of buying rubies in Burma.
In the examination of rubies artificial
light is not used, the merchants hold
ing that full sunlight alone can bring
out the color and brilliancy of the
gems. Sales must, therefore, take
place between a. m. and p. NJ, and
the sky must be clear.
The purchaser, placed near win
dow, has before him large copper
plate. The sellers come to him one by
one, and each empties upon this plate
his little bag of rubies. The purchaser
proceeds to arrange them for valua-
ton in number of small heaps. The
first division is into three grades, ac-
cording to size; each of these groups
is again divided into three piles, ac-
cording to COLOR and each of these
piles, in turn, is again divided into
three groups, according to shape. The
bright copper plate has a curious use.
Fhe sunlight reflected from it through
the stones brings out, with true rubies,
a color effect different from that with
red spinels and tourmalines, which are
thus easily separated.
The buyer and seller then go through
very peculiar method of bargaining
by signs, or rather grips, i'll perfect
silence. After agreeing upon the fair
ness of the classification. they join
their right hands, covered with hand
kerchief or the flap of garment, and
by grips and pressures mutually I'M

GIVES REASONS WHY HE CON.
 SIDERS VINOL
The Greatest Health Restorer and Strength Creator Known
 to Medicine.

First: Because Vinol contains in con centrated form all of the medicinal cura . tive clements actually taken from fresh cods uvers, but without drop of oil to nauseate and upset the stomach and retard its work; therefore, wherever old fashioned cod liver oil or emulsions will do good Vinol will do far more good.
 Second: Because VinOl acts first upon the stomach, creates a healthy appetite, strengthens and tones up the digestive organs; purifes and enriches the blood. and in a natural manner health is re- stored and strength created.
 Third: Because VinOl contains no iE- furious drugs to react upon the system; You know just what you are taking, as It is printed on every bottle.
 Fourth; Because we have never sola anything in our store equal to Ninol tc restore health and create strength for old people weak, sickly women and children nursing mothers. and to build up th, system after severe sickness.
 Ninol cures hacking coughs, chroni, colds, bronchitis and all throat and lung troubles.
 A prominent physician writes: "Vino is the most palatable and valuable prepa ration Of cod liver oil ever compounded l now use 1t entirely in all cases wher, formerly depended upon old-fashioneC cod liver oil and emulsions."
 Try Vinol on our guarantee to retur- money if you receive no benefit. E. G Fowler, Druggist
