Old age as it comes in the orderly pro
cess of Nature is a beautiful and majestic
thing The very shadow of eclipse which
threatens it, makes it the more priced
1t stands for experience, knowledge, wis
dom and counsel That is old age as it
should be. But old age as it so often is
means nothing but second childhood of
mind and body What makes the diff
ference? Very largely the care of the
stomach. In youth and the full strength
of manhood it doesn't seem to matter
how we treat the stomach. We abuse it,
overwork it, injure it. We don't suffer
from it much. But when age comes the
stomach is worn Que. 1t can't prepare
and distribute the needed nourishment to
the body, and the body, unnourished, falls
into senile decay. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is a wonderful medi-
cine for old people whose stomachs are
weak" and whose digestions are ''poor. y
Its invigorating effects are felt by mind
as well as body. 1t takes the sting from
old age, and makes old people strong,

In recent police court squabble over
clock one man testified that he could
identify the timepiece in question by
the tick. This statement was received
with derision by most of the courtroom
attaches, the magistrate included, but
later matchmaker to whose attention
it had been called declared that the
scoffers laughed before they knew
what they We're laughing at.
'Of course you can tell a clock by
its tick he said. 81 don't mean that
every clock has an individual tick that
can be recognized by its friends, but
many of them have, and a parson who
has owned a certain clock for a long
while and has studied its style and
manneriSms can, If he has a good ear,
detect that particular tick among a
hundred. Many clocks that are appar-
emily made on the same plan develop
peculiarities in their running gear.
Some canter along at an even pace,
others go by jerks and spurts. Some
are stately and solemn, others frisky
and gay. The ticking of clocks varies,
too, in rhythm, pitch and dynamics.
With all these differences in tone is it
any wonder that man who has meas
ured his life by one clock for several
years can swear even in court to its
particular ?"-New York Post.

may write his business letters and pri-

The gareon brings him the black port
folio stocked with letter paper and en-
velopes and pens and ink. Notre client
may use up as much paper and en-
velopes as he pleases. These are pro-
vided by the staff of walters at their
own charge, not by M. lie Patron, the
landlord-a curious custom. Notre
client is welcome to sit there all day
long over his newspapers and CORE
spondence and his glass of bordeaux
or his ''lait chaud" perhaps with a nip
Of rum in it when the weather is cold.
The counter is reserved for walters
and for NJ. lie Patrons wife or daugh-
ter or lady clerk, who sits behind it re-
ceiving orders.
The ''habitues," mos clients" or pass
ing customers are comfortably seated
at their neat, scrupulously clean little
tables. Outside the chairs and little
tables are arranged in rows, three,
four, five, six deep There mos clients

:" I am well now and
enjoying better health
than ever before in
my whole life"

That is the statement of woman who
had never been well until she was made
well by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. There are a great many
other women in like case. They have
always been sufferers from disease. They
have never known the joy of perfect
health.
For all such women Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription holds out the pros
pect of perfect and permanent health, by
the cure of the womanly diseases which
weaken women. 1t establishes regular
ity, dries weakening drains, heals inham-
nation and liberation, and cures female
weakness. It makes weak women strong
and sick women well.

Chinese PecuIfnrities.

In giving his opinion of China Cap
tain Faulkner Of the artillery corps
epitomized the Chinese characteristics
so cleverly that some Of his listeners
copied down his words.
China" said Captain Faulkner, ''is
country where the roses have no fra
GRANGE and the women no petticoats,
where the laborer has no Sunday and
the magistrate no sense of honor, where
the roads bear no vehicles and the
ships no keels, where old men fly kites
and the needle points to the south,
where the place of honor is on the left
hand and the seat of intellect in the
stomach, where to take off your hat is
an insolent gesture and to wear white
garments is to be in mourning cOun-
try which has literature without an
alphabet and a language without c
grammar."-London Globe.

SOME ODD LEATHERS.
Prepared From the Skins of Various
A0uaf1c Animals

Prepared From the Skins of Various
Aquatic Animals.
Leather is prepared from the hides of
nearly all aquatic animals, principally
the seal, whale, porpoise, alligator and
walrus. The use of these hides Is al
most as old as man himself, and they
have ever been most eagerly sought
after for the many uses to which they
could be put after being prepared as
leather. At the time Of the Russian
occupation Of Alaska they made great
use of walrus hides. Furs were usual
1y wrapped up in these skins, and when
they reached Kiachta, China, the great
mart of those days, the skin was sewed
over chests Of tea. On arrival at Mos
COW the @undest portions were re-
moved, cut up and stamped into ko-
pecks and a variety of small change.
This formed the chief currency of Alas
ka for time The Russians also made
harness of walrus leather, while the
natives of Alaska used the skin as a
covering for their boats.
A queerer kind Of leather, however,
COQoS IEO1u TIE QUILTS VI HbueS. AL
extremely fine quality of green leather
made in Turkey is manufactured from
the skin Of an ugly fish called the angel
fish. The sword grips Of the German
army are made from shark leather,
which is beautiful in pattern, being
marked with dark diamond shaped fig
ures. This skin comes from a North
sea shark called the diamond shark.
Leather manufacturers have tried to
produce a substitute from animal
hides, but In vain. Unlike animal leath-
er, fish leather is absolutely impervious
to water and never gets soggy from
dampness. Therefore 1t is ideal for
sword grips, as. no matter how much
the hand may perspire, the grip re-
mains hard and dry.
Leather is made from the skin of the
Pacific coast and great lakes sturgeon,
which is exceedingly tough and is used
In making laces for joining leather
betting. In Canada the skin Of a spe-
cies Of siluroid Is used in making

party in the saloon at midnight and,
scorning to be escorted by the sergeant
Of the guard, proceeded alone to visit

Electric Waves.

Electric waves measured by Hertz
and named after him-were found by
the great scientist to be 100 feet from
the top of one wave to the top of the
next. The waves used by Marconi in
telegraphing across the Atlantic are
much longer. They are said to be 600
feet or more. They travel at the same
speed as light, $4,000 miles a second.
But the light wave measures only a
few millionths of an inch.

qThe aid of scientific inventions is not
needed to determine whether your lungs
are affected. The first symptoms can be
readily noted by anyone of average in

QThere Is no disease known that gives so
many plain warnings of its approach as

can be so quickly reached and checked,
If the medicine used is DIR. Boschee's

consumption.
GIT is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that won't quit,
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, &C
companied by frequent expectoration.
