YOU WILL BE ALL
SMILES AGAIN.
Forget Your Stomach and You'll
Have a Santa Claus Face.
HOW TO DO 1T.

If there is one thing more than all
others that will give a man forlorn
and friendless appearance and make
him morbid and cranky" and dis
agreeable, that thing is dyspepsia. 1t
makes one forget his friends and be-
come morose and irritable. He is so
wrapped up in his own misery that
he is inconsiderate of every one else.
Relieved of this terrible and depress-
ing ailment, he again becomes a good
fellow and man among men.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are be-
yond question the most effective and
popular remedy ever offered to the
sufferers of this terrible disease. The
thousands and thousands of cures
they have brought about and the
enormous increase of their sales fully
attest the truth of this statement.
They are, above all, natural reme-
dy. rhey possess exactly the same
properties that the gastric juices and
other digestive fluids of the stomach
possess and they actually do the di-
gestive work of the stomach and en-
a bic that organ to rest and recuperate
and become sound and we'll. They
act in a mild, natural manner and
cause no disturbance in the digestive
organs. They prevent any fermen-
tation of the food which causes sour
stomach. In fact. under their infiu-
ence the subject forgetS that he has
stomach and his resulting cheerful
ness presents a great contrast to his
former detection.
Millions of boxes of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are sold annually and
they are but in the dawn of their pop
ularity. Every mail brings letters of
thanksgiving from grateful ones who
have been cured of this terrible dis
ease. The following is one of hun
dreds received each week:
Rev. j. r. Hoag of Wymore Neb..
writes: For six years 1 have been
troubled with dyspepsia. Last fall
became very much alarmed at some
symptoms Of heart trouble and came
to believe there was a sympathetic re-
lation between the two diseases. or
rather. that the stomach trouble was

In spite of these handicaps, she read

ton, and is almost painfully anxious

little body and bright eyes in study

own language by itself presents a
fair field for her industry, for in or
binary reading and writing at least
1000 characters are used, and scholars,
owing to the admixture of Chinese,
must master twice as many.
In addition to the new western
learning, so far, at least, she has re-
tanned that of the Land of the Ris-
ing Sun, where the proverbial "tup-
pence" must always have been paid.
She studies. as her ancestors, the
Daimyo and the Samurai, studied, the
art of opening and shutting doors,
polite handing of teacups, gracious re-
ception of presents, and so on; in fact,
so careful and elaborate are her ETH
uuette lessons that no possibility of
unpreparedness for emergencies is left
to the Japanese maiden, who gains an
entire self-possession through a
thorough knowledge of how to act on
all occasions, important or trivial
together with habitual politeness and
charm. In the department class she
masters the difficulties of walking in
clogs and sandals, of sitting on and
rising from the floor, and of bowling
with grace in her tight kimono-her
bows are often literally to the ground,
remember.

LESS POWER NEEDED
In Flying Than in Any other Method
of Progression.
From the Scientific American.


From the Scientific American.
Flying, from the figures available,
may be considered the easiest of all
methods of progression, calling for less
horsepower than any other. AS
proof of this. take for example the case
Of the storks, which, in their annual
migrations, make a flight between
Budapest in Hungary and Lahore in
India. This, in an air line, is, perhaps,
1900 to 2400 miles, and the distance is
accomplished in about twenty-four
hours without a rest. A horse driven
in a sulky 100 miles in a long summer
day is not far from the limit of endur-
ance. Six hundred miles in week is
near the limit of a man in heel-and-toe
walking. One thousand two hundred
miles is approaching the record of the
"go-as-you-p please" gait. Among wild
animals 100 miles is about as much as
can be found in the records for twen-
ty-four hours, but the bird weighing
anywhere perhaps up to twenty pounds
makes the $500 miles in twenty-four
hours with ease and certainly twice in
a year. If the weight is put at ten
pounds, this equals twenty-five ton
miles. On the best and most level
railroad and with carriages operating
WIFI lHe least lTlCllOIly d lGIl- pOuHu dll-
imal would find it difficult to haul
twenty five tons one mile in twenty
four hours. These birds fly at great
nights, undoubtedly to reduce the re-
sistance of the air. There are many
other examples that might be given of
long distances covered by heavy birds,
showing the small amount of power
required in fight. The immense speed
of many of our birds when in ordinary
flight is another proof of the small
amount of power required.
No animal, whatever its weight, d
bird only excepted, can make any such
speed as ninety to 100 miles per hour.
Among the birds there is a long list of
those whose speeds are from eighty
miles an hour upward, their weights
all being under fifteen pounds. Paren-
thetically, it may be remarked that
naturalists will give dimensions of
birds to an eighth of an inch, carefully
spreading their wings and arranging
the feathers, but it never occurs to
them to give weights. The eagle may
weigh five to fifty pounds, so far as
the records show. Hunters rarely
speak of the weight of birds, though
the weight of game is often estimated
and the weight of fish given to the
nearest ounce.
The fact just given, when taken to-
gether, show pretty conclusively that
the power necessary for animal fight
is extremely small rather than very
great. 1t also seems to be proved that
to fly successfully the speed must be
high.

A Wonderful Saving.

Georgia calculated to use over one
hundred gallons of the usual kind OF

They used only 80 gallons of the

in paint, and got a big donation be-

nursery? Think how much "tidying
up might be saved if toys could be
left behind there instead of being scat
tered through every room in the house.
There would be no worry over dam
aged furniture or scratched walls; best
of all, the children would enjoy l1ber-
ty, could romp and be noisy without
causing discomfort to adult members
of the family.
Surprising that you wish to mex
pensively fit up a play room, have, if
possible, a blackboard dado. Most
children love to scribble and mark
every available space, and this ar
rangement permits them to do so.
Blackboarding is not very expensive.
Above 1t a border of Mother Goose
pictures might be arranged, as they
always give pleasure to young chill
dren. In the case of a small room
this decoration may be supplied in
amateur fashion by clipping Mother
Goose pictures and pasting them on
the wall, afterward coating them with
shellac. The upper part of the wall
may be covered with any cheap paper,
provided it is plain and in good taste,
preferably light colored, for greater
cheerfulness.
There are especially designed wall
papers, of course, which illustrate the
stories Oh ReQ RlQlnS HOOP anu OlneT
juvenile tales of like character. These
are by no means beautiful, however,
and preclude the hanging of pictures.
1t is a question whether the better
choice would not be in favor of plain,
well-chosen engravings, or even pho
tographs.
BY the way, some may argue against
the blackboarding that it would tend
to encourage the childish habits of de-
facing walls but this has never proved
to be the case when the experiment
has been tried; rather the contrary.
If the fitting of the room must be done
at minimum cost a wainscoting of
thick brown paper may be substituted,
fastened down at it's upper edge with
a narrowing molding. This can be
renewed from time to time. The gen.
eral idea to be kept in mind in fit
ting up such a room is the avoidance
of sharp corners. There should be a
round instead of a square table, and
rocking chairs should find no place in
the childrens room. In the first place,
they are dangerous, usually inf1icting
injuries to cuticle sooner or later; in
the second place, children should not
be permitted to acquire the rocking
chair habit, which is conductive to
round shoulders.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Not all mothers are so fortunate as

How to Pronounce "Pepys."
London Correspondence New Yorl


london correspondence NEW 1UTh
Times.
I could mention many more in
stances of British kindness to Amer
leans, but will content myself with
one illustration. An American wrote
to the editor of the Daily Chronicle
asking how he should pronounce the
name of that famous diarist, Pepys.
DO you" he asked, "call it Peppis,
or Peoples, or Chumley, or what?" The
Chronicle might have been pardoned
if it answered this satirical American
according to his satire, but it did not.
1t discussed matters at considerable
length, and wound UP by quoting a
verse from James Carcasse, whom
Pepys kindly took in his boat to view
the great fire in London. This verse
indicates that to Carcasse at least
Pepys was known as Pips.

ALEX PURCHASED A STORE
Was Ambitious to Shine as Pro-

PAID $3.50 TO BIND BARGAIN
And Then Discovered That There Were Many

Col. Alex KineI, the well-knoWn

suit had an experience when came
near costing him several hundred
dollars ard many peaceful hours.
Alex has been ambitious for some.
time to get into the grocery business,
and had his eye on the store of George
w. Williams, on North Queen street.
After several tentative moves he fl
nally closed deal with the proprietor
whereby he became the sole owner,
manager, etc, of the food product
emporium, and got ready to start begin
to commence to begin. de paid $500
on account. and claims that Williams
represented to him that there were no
encumbrances on the stock except a
matter of about $50 for rent. As soon
as the deal becam known on the street.
judgments, warrants and other forms
of attachments began pouring IN upon
the stock, and the budding grocery
magnate lifted up his hands in holy
horror aud cried aloud in despair.
He really believed that mis- money was
gone, and with it his hard-earned rep.
utation as shrewd man at bargain.
Finally he thought of the law. and
applied to Attorney Emmert to extri-
cate him from his troubles and save
his precious and beloved dollars-two
hundred and sixty big, round dollars,
lawful coin of the realm, which NE
had gathered together By hard and
honest effort. Mr.. Emmert easily So
cured the return of the money npon a
threat to prosecute, aud Alex smiles,
bursting over his countenance like a
CLEAN of sunshine, chased the shad-
ows into eternal Oblivion, and he
went his way with paen of gladness
yelling from his heart like the notes
of joy from the throat of a bird who
has recovered his long-lost mate,
