HOW TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
Young women or matrOns should not
allow themselves to look sallow and
wrinkled because of those pains and
weaknesses which become chronic and
are the result of colds, tight lacing, and
the imprudent care Of the womanly sys-
tenn. Many a woman would look beau
tiful, have healthy color and bright eyes
IL il were not for those drains on her
strength and those weaknesses which
come all too frequently and make her
life miserable. There is a ready-to-use
Prescription, used great many years by
Dr. r. v. Pierce in his large practice as
Specialist in women's diseases, which
is not like the many vpatent medicinesD
on the market, as It contains neither
alcohol nor any narcotic. 1t is purely
vegetable.

in the New York Times. A man bor-
rowed the natives horse without stop
ping to ask permission. In the course
Of a few days the animal was returned,
but the native did not take a kindly
view of the matter and concluded to
have legal redress. He announced his
intention of having the offender ar

"What will you have him arrested
for?" he was asked.
"For horse stealing, of course"
"How can you make horse stealing
out of it when he returned the horse?'
"Ai IN it stealing if he brought i'm

A Trick Sparrow.

The famous Chinese conjuring birds
are Java sparrows. A sedate old gen
tleman sitting at street corner in
Hongkong put one of his birds through
its tricks for the benefit of Commander
f. NJ. Norman.
Each birdcage has sliding door,
and just outside this is a pack of little
cardcases, each containing a picture
and small pot holding half dozen
grains of rice.
"Cumshaw Gee can do. No cum
shaw, no can do" remarks the man,
shutting the cards and pointing to the
bird, which meantime knowingly eyes
the proceedings.

I hand over the necessary coin, which

penny, then the cards, then the penny
again, as if he thought his perform
ances too cheaply valued, descends
from his perch, opens the door with his
beak, hops outside, draws a card from
the pack and passes it to his master.
He receives in reward one grain Of
rice.
The man takes the little picture from
the case received from the bird, and
hands it to me to inspect. He then re-

the tiniest fat slip of bamboo, and

only possible way of explaining it is, in
my mind, that the bamboo slip is slight

The thought of the white elephant

The thought of the white elephant
had been too much for him. His ia
Tiers suggestion that it had been
whitewashed was not alternating. Is a
whitewashed elephant an everyday
sight?
He had visions of running away, but
he knew he should not run away. He
would stay. scrawling his fingers in
uncomfortable gloves and opening Por-
ters door for dressed up and worth
less ladies, perfectly healthy and able
to do it for themselves, while amid the
sawdust the opening procession was
shining and glittering past unseen, new
er to be seen, by his longing eyes.
He observed in the open window
Pearl and Major Porter at their daily
after dinner game of "old maid.''
Major Porter was not a kindergart-
ner, and he was almost invariably "old
maid each time, with ringing shouts
of glee from his victorious grandchild
poised elegantly ON the window sill.
But today her poise seemed less airy
in it's light ease. Butter heard no
shouts, and when she turned and waved
her hand to him he saw that her eyes,
too, were red.
Major Porter was shifting his head
with despair and chagrin at being a
third time doomed to single life and
eliciting from his opponent only very
faint smile.
Was Pearl, too, not going to the cir
Gus?
Far from it. For days her GRANDPA
ther had been bringing home handbills
and posters; for days he had discussed
with Pearl what they both should wear,
what time they should start, how many
glasses of lemonade they should have,
whether they should look at the ami
mails before or after the performance,
and now all this was to be ON the day

of the reception. There were to be only
ladies at the reception. There was no
reason why Major Porter should re-
main at home fer it, and his enthusi-
assn for the circus had shown no change,
no abatement.
In the presence of his mistaken devo-
ton Pearl could not endure to confess
even to her mother that her heart was
torn at the thought of her new fringed
sash, the gift of her aunt, and how now
she could not wear it at the reception
or walk around with the ladies. She
had the dignified delicacy of many hon.
orable little girls, and she felt that it
would be disloyalty to her grandfather
to acknowledge that she was no longer
interested in the circus.
Her aunt said she had cried because
the heat made her nervous.
''She doesn't look to me able to go
toting off to that hot circus, father"
she said, coming up to the window.
"Tm afraid So" said Mr.. Porter, fol
lowing her. 'Do you care SO much
about it, darling"
PEARLS eyes filled again at this.
"Oh, Shocks II be all right for the
circus" said Major Porter, with hasty,
blind consolation, as Pearls mother
started into the house with her to battle
her eyes. 1t was his fixed belief that
the circus was the most ecstatic pleas
ure of every child and any alternative
an outrageous disappointment.
"Never mind if you are not all right,
pet" said Mrs. Burden, with inspired
dullness. Here's Butter. He isn't go
ing and doesn't want to CO. He wants
to see Mrs. Hendricks. And. Butter,
Mrs. Hendricks has some little boys of
her own-such nice. polite little boys.
l wish you could know them"
Butter looked submissive as Mrs.
Burdens benevolent, unperceiving eyes
were impressively fixed upon him.
"Why isn't Butter going to the cir
Gus" inquired Major Porter Butter
made no reply.
Father too busy, guess" pursued
the major. ':That itY
Butter is going to see Mrs. Ken

Burden. HE is going , open the door

Major Porter whistled. He looked
suspiciously at Buffers red eyelids.
"Well, how would it be to have But
ter come along with the circus party
this afternoon and let Mrs. Hendricks
open the door for the ladies herself?"
He gave Butter a nudge under the
table at this last abominably weak jest.
Butter could not refrain from smile

of apartments given over to the reception.
