WOMEN WHO WORK
Need Strong, Vigorous
Nerves.

The life of women and girls who
work is at best hard one and even
under the most favorable circumstances
the results often show shattered nerv-
Gus systems and broken down health.
To meet the conditions required of her,
to sustain the extra strain and nervous
tension of duties never intended for her
in the plan of nature, she must use
every endeavor to preserve the vitality
of her nerves and the regularity of the
female functions. No remedy ever Of
fered the world has accomplished the
wonderful results obtained from the use
of DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills. BY

elements necessary to their life and ac-
tivity, they cause steady Increase Of
natural strength to both body and

| property owners caused by freezing
house connections and improperly laid
plumbing, and strongly urged that the
board of public works should inspect all
house connections before any dirt has
been thrown upon the pipes.
Aid. kleinschmidt spoke along the
| same line.
Aid. Coy moved that the board of
public works fix up the cutters on Pop
lar street so that they will carry off
water, and this was carried.
The matter of the alley in West
Mankato between the property of VIM.
| Irving and c. +. Musser was referred to
! the board of public works, on motion of
AID Kleinschmidt.
The placing of a fire alarm box in
Cummings addition was referred to the
committee on city property to report
at the next meeting, on motion of AID
Coy.
F. II. Neubel was granted permission
to build an ironclad shed II by 20 feet,
back of his place of business on North
Front street, for the purpose of stor-
ing iron.
Attorneys Bill Disallowed.
Aid. Jorgensen moved that the bill
for $3.50 presented by H. L. Schmitt and
w. Z. Young be taken from the table.
Mr. Young asked that the bill be pass
ed upon one way or the other, that they
might know where they were at.
The motion was carried.
AID Kleinschmidt moved that the bill
be disallowed.
Aid. Jorgensen said that he did not
know whether the bill was exorbitant
or not. The stenographer's bill was
allowed by the council, yet it seemed to
be much higher in proportion to the
work done than the attorneys bill.
Mr.. Schmitt said that before the char
ter commission began the work of pre-
pairing the new charter it had appeared
before the council and secured its prom
Use to pay the expenses of attorney hire,
etc.
Aid. Coy asked whether there was any
record of this. If so, it might alter the
situation. He suggested that the mat
ter lay over week to ascertain about
this.
Mr.. Sehmitt thought that there was
nothing placed on the records, as the
meeting was informal, and they had of
fered to take the word of the alder
men.
DIR. Andrews vouched for the promise
of the aldermen, having been one of the
committee that brought the matter be-
fore the council.
The vote on the matter stood: Ayes,
Aids. Coy, Kleinsehmidt and Schroeder;
noes, Aids. Jorgensen, Mckinley and
Roemer. Mayor Taylor voted aye and
declared the motion carried.
The bills were then read and allowed,
including pay roll of $33l.29, and $50
witness fee for two days service for
James H. Bell, in the paving suit that
was on trial the past two days.

BIRTHPLACE OF MASSAGE.
QueeE Nadia, Where the InhabitantH
Never Take q Bath.

Queer Nubia, Where the Inhabitanta
Never Take n Bath.
The masseur had just returned from
Nubia, the birthplace Of massage.
IL didn't learn as much as expected
to-" he said, "but / got hold Of two
movements that will eradicate wrin-
kles and remove tat In an Incredible
way.
"Nubia Is q queer place. They have
30 little water there that they never
take baths. The 'masseh, or kneading,
whence our word massage Is the
baths substitute. You strip, lie down
and are covered from head to foot with
q cream made Of mutton fat, musk,
sandalwOOd powder and certain plant
juices. Then you are kneaded, you
are massaged. l studied the Nublan
movements thoroughly and learned, as
/ say, good things.
'"The Nubians are a handsome and
queer race. They hunt elephants with
the sword A hunter steals upon a dOz-
ing elephant and slashes him in the
back of the leg ten inches above the
hoOf. This cut sewers the artery, and
the elephant bleeds to death.
''They cook meat on hot stones
First they build a fire, then they put
big stones on 1t, and when the stones
are hot enough they clean them Of
ashes and embers carefully and throw
on the meat. This is a better way Of
cooking than the broil, for 1t preserves
all the meat juices. But greenhorns
don't know what kind Of stones to use.
Most kinds heated explode.
'The Nubians are shapely and hand
some They never wrinkle, they never
get fat, their skins are smooth and
fine. They impute these graces to the

How "Reticule" Got It's Name.

Curious HistOFy OF the Word aVots.V
HoV "Retieule" GOt It's Name.
"Vote" is q word with a curious his
tory, To the Roman a ''vOtum" was
solemn promise made to a deity. From
the solemn promise itself the meaning
Of "VOtum" gradually became the
prayer or intense wish that aecompa-
MED the promise and then any intense
wish whatever. So far the develop
ment proceeded in Latin, and "vote"
passed into English with the same
sense. When Ben JonsOn wrote Of
public votes" to heaven he meant not
mass meeting resolutions, but prayers.
Finally vote" acquired its present
meaning, the formal and emphatic ex-
preston Of a wish, while the old sense
remains with it's double "Yow."
That OpenwOrk bag for shopping,
called a reticule, gets its name directly
from the Latin ''retlculum," 'little
net" Popularity, however. the word is
supposed to owe its existence to the
fact that when an EngllshwOman visit
ed the hrBt Paris exhibition with her
little bag 10 her hand the Parislans
cried "Rldieulew The Englishwoman,
Misunderstanding the exclamation, IL
said to have thought 1t the correct
translation OF "little bag and return
ed to England calling 1t a ''reticule."
PhilologIsts claim that the phrase to
"sleep like a top" comes from the
French "dormir CONNIE une taupe," to
sleep like a mole. It is said, too, that
CinderellaS slippers were not made Of
glass, but Of "valr," the old French
word for ermine, which in time became
corrupted Into ''Verre," Glass.-ChIcago
