His BOY Very Much Like Other Boys,
After All.

On the day The Boy was eleven
years old he visited an artist friend
who likes boys. The artist enter
tanned him royalty. He gave him a
gun and cigarette coupons worth
$3.50. The Boy was proud Of the gun,
but he thought still more of the COT
pons.
What are you going to get with
them, SOM" asked The Boys mother.
81 don't know" said The Boy.
His mother was about to offer a
few suggestions but The Boys father
%interfered.
"Just you let Bob alone, he said.
Let him pick out his W prize. He
knows what he wants"
But he'll get something foolish"
argued the practical mother.
NO, he won't" said the father.
THAT boys got the best judgment Of
any boy 1 ever saw. He won't throw
his money away. He'll come home
with something useful-something
that he needs right On the spot. ]
wouldn't be afraid to bet on that"
So the mother finally gave in. On
Saturday The Boy went down town
to exchange his coupons for a prize.
When he came home the family was
gathered at the dinner table talking
about him.
Come, DEAR said his mother,
show mama what her little boy got"
They sat expectant while the boy
unwrapped his prize. After a little
they spoke. The mother said, ooh!
oh! OH" and the father said, well,
I'll be blessed!"
The boy had bought a razor.

USE FOR CAYENNE PEPPER.
In the Form Of a Sandwich It viii In
duce Sleep,


Sufferers from insomnia should try
cayenne pepper sandwiches. Cut a
slice of thin bread-a plain biscuit
may be used-butter it generously,
and add a liberal sprinkling of cayenne
pepper. Cover it over with a thin
slice of bread or a biscuit, as the case
may be. 1t is surprising what little in
convenience is experienced, merely a
slight, smarting sensation in the
mouth, which is soon over. The sand.
witch should be eaten just before re-
firing, and soon after the sufferer will
be asleep. The pepper acts as a slim
ulant to the stomach, drawing the
blood from the excited brain and in.
ducing sleep. A cayenne pepper sand
witch is much less harmful than drugs
and, when taken in small quantities, is
a good tonic for a weak stomach. Bill
ious headache has also been known to
yield to a cup of hot water to which
has been added a generous pinch OF
cayenne pepper and a nip of soda as
big as a pea.

Living on Simple Food.

The statement that a man can exist
on 1h kilos (31-3 pounds) of rye
bread consul ed daily is, of course,
purely theoretical, inasmuch as no one
is able to live on y bread alone for
a length of time. But if the bread is
made more palatable by the addition
Of butter, sausages, or the like, and if
some other food is substituted every
day for part Of the bread, such a bev-
erage as warm coffee being also con
sumed, then the statement expresses
what actually happens with many peo-
pie.

Courtesy.

A disagreeable child is likely to
grow up a churl. 1t is about time row
that Americans began to cultivate the
finer s~ensibilities. Emerson says:
Give a boy dress and accomplish
ments and you give him the mastery
OF palaces and fortunes wherever he
o e He has not the trouble to earn
or own them. They solicit him to
enter and possess" Children depend
for their good upon the ex-
ample set by their parents. No policy

men apply for the same situation and
usually the better-mannered will get
the iob.-Boston Post.

Recreation should promote content

duces to she charm of life. Taken in
undue amounts it satiates. Man was

johannesburg as a town surprises
and disappoints," writes a South At
rican traveller. 1T has been put up
in a hurry and is mostly built of cor
rugated iron. There are finished
buildings, mostly of stucco, and innu-
merable shanties. There are wide
streets, but they are all dusty. Com
missioner street is the main artery
for business. 1t is there that, in i'm
itation of America, sky-scrapers have
been built, which domineer over the
town more than the old fort does. Sun
day in johannesburg is honored in
the breach and not in the observance.
johannesburg is a young thing yet,
not out Of it's teens, but it apes the
of centuries"

Their IDEAS About Women.

The Hottentots and Bushmen believe
women are a necessary evil, and the
younger they break their wives in the
better. They feel that ten years is
none too young, for girls of these years
are more pliable and more easily mold.
ed. 1t must be granted that the Hot,
tentots use milder methods than do
the Australians. They do not kill the
girls who refuse to marry. The Hot.
tentot often goes to the hut of a girl
and makes her a cup of coffee, then
hands it to her without adding a word.
If she drinks half of it he knows her
answer is yes" If she refuses to
touch the coffee he feels his suit is
hopeless, but he is not g%rieved; he
visits a neighboring hut and tries his
luck again.
