Cuff Buttons.

"Your cuff buttons are not properly
worn," said jeweler to one of his Gus
toners. "Whats the matter with
them? Haven't l got them in my
cuffs?" yes" replied the jeweler,
''but you are like a great many other
people; you are not a close observer
You have the little gold piece at one
end of each link placed so that in one
cuff it is toward your body and in the
other away from you. The small end
of the link should in every case be
toward you. Yet nine men out of ten
pay no attention to this detail The
careful dresser never has the small
end of a link button on the far side
of the cuff. f."-Philadelphia Record.

The most remarkably comedy ever
written is "The Visionaries," by Des
marets, the protege of Richelieu.
Every character in the play has hal
lucination of one kind or another. One
is a coward who thinks he has con-
quered the world, another a poet who
conceives himself better than Homer,
another a lover who becomes enam.
ored of every heroine he reads of in
romance, another beggar who thinks
himself richer than Croesus.

A "WiId Hafr.v

A "wild hair" is the most annoying
freak of nature a man can be afflicted
with. 1t grows in from the eyelid in
stead Of out and, constantly brushing
against the eyeball, sometimes causes
an irritation that results in loss of
sight. To pull it out gives only tenn
porary relief, since in a few weeks it
comes back, as well grown and strong
as ever. The only way to kill it is to
destroy the sac from which it springs.
This is done by means Of the electric
needle.

Four White FetIocks,

In France in former times a horse
that possessed four white stockings
had the privilege of being free from
toll. There is a passage in one of the
works of Frederick Mistral, the famous
poet Of Provence, to the following eff
feet: by the rule of the road there
was an old custom which was respect
ed by all, that the carter whose leader
had four white stockings, whether go
ing uphill or downhill, had the right
not to leave the road-that is, the mar
row paved part when the rest was in
a bad state-and thus arose the prov
erb, Who has four white feet can pass
everywhere

The Highest Stairway.

For the ascent of Mount Omi, on the
borderland between western China and
the Tibetan plateau, there is an artifi-
cial staircase consisting of 10000 steps
cut in slippery limestone. Who made
these steps is largely matter of sur
mise, but they were probably formed by
religious enthusiasts to provide means
of access from the hot plains, out of
which the mountain mass rises abrupt
ly to the heights, 5000 to 11,000 feet
above, among which the Buddhist alb
bey of Omi embodies some of the holi-
est traditions of the religion professed
by its inmates. Anyhow, the staircase
is there, and by it many pilgrims attain
to the shrine as well as the very few
Europeans who have ever visited this
singular spot

Milking Marbles.

Germany maintains monopoly of
making stone marbles in spite of vari-
Gus efforts made to wrest the trade
away. In the marble and agate quar-
ries there are innumerable chips and
bits of stone from the butting of the
large blocks, and this refuse Is broken
into cubes about the size of marble.
An experienced worker produces these
cubes of stone at an incredible speed
and with remarkable uniformity. When
about bushel are ready they are
dropped between a grooved bedstone
and revolving runner. Water is kept
constantly supplied, and in half an
hour the stones are turned out perfect
spheres. With abundant water power
the cost Is slight, as a couple of men
can keep dozen stones supplied and
the raw material costs nothing at all.
In other countries the cost of preparing
the blanks eats up the profits, and com
petition with the German made prod
uct Is impossible.

The Clifton Hill CMo) Rustler gives
the following directions for eating
German carp: When fishing, if you
catch German carp clean it and hang
it out in the sun six weeks to dry, then
nail it to a pine board and cover it
thoroughly with salt or mud. Let it
stand for two months longer, and then
bake it two days. Remove the nails,
throw the carp over the back fence
and eat the board, but never eat the
carp.

An Ancient Tune.

1--WE Won't Go Home Till Morning"
Is not n modern song; at least the air
is not modern, for it dates back to the
times of the first Duke of Marlbor-

BRONX sen va-t-en guerre; Dieu salt
quaint reviendra" C'Malbrouk has gone
to the war; the Lord knows when he
will come home again'). The second
verse hinted that the Duke of Marl-
borough would be a long time away.
al reviendra-Z-a la Paques, on Il Ia
Trinite" C'TIe will return at Easter or

in England, that air exists as chill
dren's song:
Mollie Brooks, she went to be shaved;
Mollie Brooks, she went to be shaved;
Mollie Brooks, she went to be shaved
and the barber cut her chin.
"Mollie Brooks" is corruption of

Think for q moment Of the extra
strain you put upon the stomach in
the winter. The hearty food, the late
suppers and the lack Of exercise and
out door life sl!l weaken and strain the
stomach, laying the foundation for
poor health and suffering.
Chroni, stomach troubles, nervous
%irritability, and serious bowel and
sidney diseases have often dated from
a week. Of extra good living"
Nearly every one is bothered with
more or less headaches and backaches,
furrd tongue, poor appetite, dry,
backing cough, heartburn, spots be-
lore the eyes, dizziness or vertigo,
sleeplessness, lack of energy, loss Of
flesh or a general weak, tired feeling.
Now is the time when Mi-O-na is
needed to repair the ravages and
wastes the hearty eating of winter has
caused in the stomach and digestive
system. This is the only known agent
that strengthens the stomach aud d.
gestiye organs, so they can and will
readily digest what food is eaten. A
Mi-o-na tablet taken before each meal
will remove all irritation, inflamma-
ton and congestion in the digestive
organs, and so strengthen them that
they will extract from the food all
that goes to make good rich blood, firm
muscle, and q sound, healthy body.
