which you have made near the other end Of the first pencil
 This is all, and the picture gives better idea of the arrangement than the description does
 But, continues Good Literature. you must be careful in putting the parts ogether-careful to get them just right. and especially careful not to cut yourself
 The distance of the knife-p points from the pencil-point depends on the size of the knives and the angle they make with each other. and after you have got the balance almost right you can make it perfect by moving the knife handles little toward or from each other, and by moving the upright pen cil along the horizontal one.
 When the balance is perfect you may carefully set the whole affair turning about the string, and 1t will continue to reyolve for long time

Business Strain.

The Chicago board of health has compiled some interesting statistics which show that deaths from nervous disorders have materially decreased in the Windy City of late years. This is not at all because the business pace has slaekened or because We are less burdened with affairs, declares the Sat urday Evening Post. II is because golf and country clubs have come into vogue. and. as a rule. business men are conducting themselves more sensi- bly, when away from their desks. The dragon Of overwork, which is repre- scented as annually deyouripg the flow CT of our commercial manhood in the great centers, is in sober fact hardly more deadly than his papier- -machc brother i'll the opera of Siegfried. Ninety nine times out of hundred it isn't what you do when in the office but what you do when away from it, that determines the state of your nervous system The bartender and other
 
 throw great food of light on those horrifying stories about the deyasta- tion wrought by business strain. Not long ago the builder of a large com mercial enterprise was gathered to his fathers in middle age and in very shattered condition. The fact fur nished text for various preachments about the deadliness of modern busi- ness-in which, however. no mention was made of the two pints of whisky, the 20 black cigars and the several hours devotion to the poker-table which figured in the daily regimen of the deceased, and which presumably had something to do wlth the wreck of his nerves

Are your wrists hands and fingers strong? Some chaps You know who are very strong in the arms and back have but little strength in their grip. while others who can nearly squeeze sour hand of are not at all muscular elsewhere.
 Here are few strength tests which are very simple and are lots of fun. You will be surprised at the results. for il will not always be the largest boy of crowd who will win the con tests.
 Two boys sit facing each other on opposite sides of small table and resting their right forearms a wrists on the table place the insides of their fingers together, as shown in the illus tration.

There Us Still Room.


 Charles NJ Schwabs reply to the declaration of Prof. Nathaniel Butler that tho day Of the self-made man ia over is valuable as coming from one who, having made his own way in the world. is as well informed on condi. tions existing to-day as any man in the country Mr. Schwab. comments the Detroit Free Press. takes strong exceptions 10 such a statement, insist ing that opportunities fer young men were never more plentiful, and that there is every chance for the one de- termined to come 10 the front to win success. glance at the situation lends color to Mir Sehwab's argument. There is q growing tendency to decry the limitations which corporations place about individual effort and the difficulty experienced by those de- prived Of extended educational ad- santages ia gaining recognition when pitted against more fortunate indiNid. uals. A . matter of fact. there never was q time when merit commanded the compensation it now receives. Cor porations are reaching out for bright young men and paying well for their services when they find them. Chances for advancement are as numerous as ever, in spite of the increased exac. tions imposed by the requirements of modern commercial life. The young man made of the right stuff will come to the front if he asserts himself. The one disinclined to exert himself will continue to remain in the back ground and lament the lack of oppor- runity. IL has always been so, and will continue to be. the assertions of Pref. Butler and others of his class to the contrary notwithstanding.

While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering. it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Mcnstrua- Ion is a severe strain on a woman's 8 vitality. If it is painful or irregular something is wrong which should be get right or it will lead to a serious de- engagement of the whole female organ .Sm.
 More than fifty thousand women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham 8 Vegetable Compound overcomes pain ful and irregular menstruation.
 It provides a safe and sure way of eS- cape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases.
 The two following letters tell so con vincingly wat Lydia E. Pinkham's 8 Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers.
 Miss Nellie Holmes of 5i5 N. Davi- sion Street. Buffalo. N. f, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham.--
 Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine for women. l suffered misery for years with painful pe-io6c, headaches, and bearing down pains. l consulte. two different physicians but failed to get any relief.

FROM TEXAS.
Some Coffee Facts from the Lone
 Star State

From a beautiful farm down in Tex as where gushing springs unite to form babbling brooks that wind their sparkling way through tlowery meads. comes note of gratitude for delivery from the coffee habit.
 When my baby boy came to me five years ago, l began to drink Postum Food Coffee, having a feeling that it would be better for him and me than the old kind of drug-laden coffee. was not disappointed in it. for ii en- abled me. small delicate woman. to nurse a bouncing healthy baby II months
 | have since continued the use of Postum, for l have grown fond of it. and have discovered to my joy that 1t has entirely relieved me of bilious habit which used 70 prostrate me two or three times a year. causing much discomfort to my family and suffering to myself.
 My brotherin-law was cured of chronic constipation by leaving of the old kind of coffee and using Postum. He has become even more fond of it than he was of the old coffee.
 In fact the entire family. from the latest arrival Ia 2-year-old who always calls for his 'potie' first thing in the morning., up 10 the head of the house. think there is no drink so good or so wholesome as Postum." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek. Mich.
