You Must
 Sleep.

If you cannot, it is due to an irritated or congested state of the brain, which will soon de- velope into nervous prostration.
 Nature demands sleep, and it is as important as food; it is a part of her building and sustaining process. This period of inconsistencies relaxes the mental and physical strain, and allows nature to restore ex- hausted vitality.
 Dr. Miles Nervine brings refreshing sleep, because it soothes the irritation and re- moves the congestion.
 It is also a nerve builder; it nourishes and strengthens ev- cry nerve in your body, and creates energy in all the organs.
 Nothing will give strength and vitality as surely and quickly as Dr. Miles Nervine.
 During the past winter had two attacks of LaGrippe which left mo very weak, and in bad condition. I was so nervous I could not sleep. My wife, after trying different remedies. went for doctor. The doctor was out. and a neighbor recommended pr. Miles Nervine, and she brought home a bottle. had not slept for some time. and had terrible pains in my. head. After taking a few doses of Nervinee the pain was not so severe. and I slept I am now taking the second bottle. and an. very much improved"

z U1 the heavens or 8 certaln9 spittle of the starres or juyce that ths ayre purgeth from himselfe." This be- lief in the celestial origin of honey runs through all the old treatises on apiculture, from the time of Virgil downward. It was supposed to be 3 kind of mama from heaven. and its quality depended greatly on the favor able or unfavorable juxtaposition of the stars at the time of it's descent.
 Although the existence in each hivs Of one bee much larger than all the others was generally recognized in old on times. this was believed to be mere ly ruler or king over the rest. That the large bee was actually the mother of the whole colony never seems to have occurred to anyone until recent times. This king bee Is very fanci- fully described as having "a lofty pacs and countenance expressing majesty. and white spot in his forehead glis- tening like . diadem." In each hiva, also, there were subordinate govern Ors and leaders and captains and colonels, marked by crests, tufts or tas- sells on their heads, some yellow, some murrey." Among various other duties 1t was the kings part to go out each evening in search of any bees that had not returned to the hive by sunset. and to show them the way home.
 From the earliest times honey ap- pears to have been held in extraor- dinary favor as universal specific for human ills. AS a hair restorer it was largely recommended. rubbed in plen- tifully night and morning, and if dead bees were dried, pounded and worked up into thick paste with the honey. its hair-producing capabilities wers much enhanced. This mess had to be plastered on the bald places of tho head over night, with infallible results in the morning, If one may credit . cer- tain fifteenth century writer. For weak eyes the same authority says to take a handful of the heads of bees, burn them, and mingle the ashes with honey gathered in the dog days. Tho ayes were then arointed literally with the mixture, and clearness of vision was the invariable reward.
 In the old days the situation of a beehive was matter of prime impor- tance. It was to be placed always oD the south side of a stream of water, and never in a place whore there were echoes. as an echo was very injurious to bees. A little gravel was to be put down in the neighborhood of the hives. as in windy weather the bees needed small stones to carry about in their flight as counterpoises. The bAekeeper was recommended to shave and keep his head close-cropped, long hair on head. or face being extremely offensive to his charges. and in attire he was to avoid anything of red color. as this was detrimental to the bees.

ANCIENT DoLL-LiKE IDOLS.
Were Found Imbedded in Walls q Ancient Cliff Dwellings Near
 Santa To.

While exploring the Puye and shufinne cliff dwellings near San. ta Fe recently Dr. R. w. Scheuss- Ter discovered some antiques of a kind not previously catalogued by students of that region. Mo- ticing upon the wall of an ancient dwelling some spots of an unu- sual color, he dug into the soft stone with his pocketknife and discovered a hole inches in diam eter and 12 inches deep, partly filled with mud. Inside was i'm" bedded a stick on which waa mounted a dolls head. In the same hole was small, highly pol ished turquoise.
 Dr. Schuessler investigated fur ther. He found three more of the sealed openings, each of them containing a doll and a turquoise. One of the holes contained a piece of petrified resin, in which tooth marks indicated that it had been used as the chewing gum of the day. The probability is that the doll heads were idols, but the sig nificance of burying them in the mesa walls and the presence of he turquoise are not explained

eARsERs' STOP DISEASES.
Patrons Advised to Have Their Own Brush and Comb-Carbolic Acid
 for the Razor.

The transference to his cuI- toners, by means of his hands and instruments, of many parasit. ic skin diseases has long been rec. ognized as one of the unnecessary accomplishments of the necessary barber. Among these affections, says American Medicine, are sycosis, impetigo, seborrheic alo- pecia and furunculosis that is more or less chronic in type. Dr. Graham Chambers states that during the past five years impet. go circinati has been very prev. alent in Toronto, scarcely a month passing without an outbreak of from two to thirty cases, gener. ally traceable to a common source. The barber shop is so com monly the source that he desfg. mates the disease as "barbers' i'm. petigo." Quite recently Or. w. A. Hardaway has called attention to a point which he believes, and we think rightly, has been but lit. tie realized by the medical profes. sion. That is the frequency with which carbuncles are acquired in barber shops. He has seen many cases of carbuncle in which the evidence of this means of trans. mission was to him indisputable. The relative importance of this se- rious affection as compared with the other diseases mentioned needs scarcely to be impressed. For the prevention of contagion in barber shops, Hardaway be- lieves that we will be forced to rely upon an educated public opinion rather than upon compul- sory laws directed against the barber. He recommends that each patron of barber shop pro vide himself with a box, contain ing his own brush and comb, a small package of absorbent cot. ton and a five per cent. oarbolis acid solution. The barber will then wipe his shears or clippers with the solution, and use the pa. tron's comb and brush. For the man who slaves his own soap, cup and brush are necessities. These suggestions are sensible. To car ry them out properly means some inconvenience, but it is worth while, especially to the aged and debilitated, or to those suffering from diabetes or similar diathe- sis. Physicians attending such par tients should extend them a warn ing in this regard.

who eouldn't smoke there, and was
always leaving thu blinds open so
that that the sun would shine in and

How vlvidly the picture OF the old
fashioned parlor comes back to the
mind There was the tnohalr covered
rocking chairs and the moha.r-cover-
ed standing chairs, all very shiny,
very slick and very uncomfortable.
The,chairs stood as straight as if their
petpendicularity had been determined
with plump line, and tneir seats
were springy and dubious. The small I
boy who attempted to sit on one Of
them found himself perpetualIy slid
ing off, and then crawling back on

and Aunt Fanny in hoopskigts, frills
and curls, and the latter preserving
record of the births and deaths for
several generations. The family al
bum was an indispensable feature of
every od-fashioned parlor. A family
might get along without the stuffed
birds or the wax flowers under the
glass case, but an album was a me-
cessity. Visitors found it source of
interest, and it was usually WEI
thumbed.
The very atmosphere of the old
parlor was different from that found

the Foreign Mission meeting both OF
these gentlemen spoke on missions
with greet effect. Judge Harlan said;
"There are those who object to For

in ignorance, Gods mercy will pro-

my understanding of religion is that
1t is aot meant simply To save men in
