English n. She Is Wrote.

There has recently been an outburst of English signboards on the outside of shops in Japan. These signboards manifest laudable desire to cater for the needs of English travellers, but the method of expression is curious:
 Barber to Shave Beard or to Dress Hairs Away" appears several times, the hair cutters being apparently in debted to public translator for the rendering.
 'The Genuinely Bier by the Health for Drink"
 "Of Smokes Our Tobacco Is Pres sure to Our Tongue and Give the Healthiness to Hers and Hes. Also All People by It.
 Another sign is an dd blend of En- glish and Japanese:
 "Cowmeat and Pigmeat and Ram une SOuda Sasupre Fin Sinbiya Jin- jyael."
 The latter. being interpreted, is:
 Beef and Pork and Lemon Soda, Sarsaparilla, Ginger Beer and Ginger Ale"

Although the wife and daughters of Mir. Benson were on the point of leav- ing for their summer vacation, the claims of his business prevented him from joining them. On the morning of their departure Mrs. Benson made the horrifying discovery that certain noxious creature, well known to house. keepers, had been found in his room, She gave him particular directions as to exterminating the pest, and bade him good-by.
 On her return, about ten weeks later, he informed her, with much satlsfac- tion, that the treatment had been ef- fectual-there was not specimen of the Cimex lectularius in the house.
 You were careful to follow my al. rections, were you?" she asked.

Dr. Moxley's night bell rang vio- lently. The doctor rose from his bed and put his mouth to the speaking tube. "Who is it?" he asked
 ''It's MT. Simmons" answered a plaintlve voice. Doctor, I'm nearly dead with pain in my back. Can't you do something for it?"
 "Go to drug store," was the reply. "Get porous plaster, put it on accord. ing to directions, and it will relieve you"
 Then the doctor went back to bed.
 A few nights later there came anoth- CT ring at his bell.
 "Well" queried Dr. Moxley, with his mouth to the speaking tube
 'Its MT. Simmons" said the same plaintive voice. Doctor, my back is all right now, but I've got to have some help in gettin' this porous plaster off,"

SeIf-COntrOl.

The p0ssess0r of an equable temper is to be admired. The man or woman who always E1s himself Vr herself well in hand, who is cool under all annoyances and circumstances who has absolute control of the temper we are always willing to trust in any emergency. But person who flashes like powder touched by a. lighted match, who loses control of himself or herself upon the slightest provocation, we dlstrust, and have a right to do so. In the battle of life, he who would achieve victories must keep cool head. And this matter is largely un- der our own control.

Virtues of tho onion.

"Onions are really sweeteners of tho breath after the local effects have pass ed away" says one learned doctor. This statement is not In accordance with our own experience, therefore we avoid onions. We are still further in formed by the same authority that onions correct stomach disorders and carry off the accumulated poisons of the system. They provide blood puri- fer that all may freely use. Eaten raw, an onion will often check a cold in the head. One small onion eaten every night before retiring is this we'll known doctors prescription for numer- ous affections of the head, and is high ly recommended for sleeplessness. Per sonally we are never troubled with any of these complaints, and therefore still look upon this strange vegetable as something to avoid.-The Vegetarian.

Plenty of Bedding.

Both for the comfort of the COW and economy of manure bedding of some kind should be provided in the COW barn. The most satisfactory material is that which will absorb tho largest amount of liquid manure. When straw is scarce there are plenty of other ab- sorbents, which if not produced on the farm can usually be had for the trou- ble of carting. Sawdust, where it can be obtained readily, is cheap bed ding, and, everything considered, is very satisfactory. It keeps the cows clean, stays in it's place, and is easily handled. Dry shavings are also very satisfactory, though not so good as saw. dust

KISSING MOTHER.
Father Gives His Careless Daugh.
 ter Quiet Little Talk.

tcr &uict AAttAe IuAAs
 A father talking to his careless daughter, said:
 'I want to speak to you of your mother. It may be that you have notice careworn look upon her face lately. Of course, 1t has not been brought there by any act of yours, still it is your duty to chase it away. want you to get up tomorrow morn ing and get breakfast; and when your mother comes, and begins to express her surprise, go right up to her and kiss her on the mouth. You can't i'm agine how it will brighten her dear face.
 Besides, you owe her kiss or two. Away back, when you were q little girl, she kissed you when no one else was tempted by your fever-tainted breath and swollen face. You were not as attractive then as you are now. And through those years of childish sunshine and shidows, she was always ready to cure. by the magic of moth- CTS kiss, the little, dirty, chubby hands whenever they were injured in those first skirmishes with the rough old world.
 And then the midnight kiss with which she routed so many bad dreams, as she leaned above your restless pill low, have all been on interest these long, long years.
 "Of course, she is not so pretty and kissable as you are; but if you had done your share of work during the last ten years, the contrast would not be so marked
 "Her face has more wrinkles than yours, and yet if you were sick, that face would appear far more beautiful than an angels as it hovered over you, watching every opportunity to minister to your comfort, and every one of those wrinkles would seem to be bright waveets of sunshine chasing each oth- CT over the dear face.
 "She will leave you one of these days. These burdens, if not lifted from her shoulders, will break her down. Those rough, hard hands that have done so many necessary things for you, will be crossed upon her life less breast.
 "Those neglected lips, that gave you your first baby kiss, will be forever closed, and those sad, tired eyes will have opened in eternity, and then you will appreciate your mother; but it will be too late"

MADE FORTUNE IN kLoNoIKE
Connecticut WOman's SucccAs with
 Store in Far North.


 Mrs.. J. W. Mclean of Dawson, Yu kon territory, is visiting her daughter Mrs. H. M. Moore. Mrs. Mclean was formerly Mrs. J. w. Thornton, and be. fore her departure for Dawson lived in New London. where she now owns con siderable property. Mrs. Mclean is a 'ninety-eighter," as the hardy band of gold seekers were called who braved the discomfort and rigors of the early rush to the Klondike regions She join. ed her brother Dr. John R. Hamilton who preceded her into the frozen north by few weeks, and soon began a busi- ness career in the gold city which has netted comfortable competence, says the Hartford Courant.
 Mrs. Mclean first engaged in the restaurant business in Dawson, and af- terward opened general store, selling to the miners anything, from q pack age of pins to complete miners kit. Later, branching out, the doughty Con. necticut woman acquired some valuable claims. which banned out profitably Nothing daunted by the big fire of Oct 14, 1899, which almost swept her out of business, she secured several good busi. ness sites on Dawsons principal streets, and they are to-day valuable asset.
 When engaged in business in Dawson Mrs. Mclean met her husband. John W. Mclean, who was formerly gran ite man of Barre. Vt., and who joined the rush of gold seekers early in the now famous stampede of 1897. Join ing issues, the two hardy New Eng. flanders bravely endured the cold un. til October of last year, when both re. turned to the United States, coming by easy stages by boat to White Horse rapids, railroading to Skaguay and steamer to Seattle, thence direct to New York. The trip from Dawson to Seattle consumed twelve days. and was taken in the most delightful time of the year. in pleasant contrast with Mrs. McLean's adventurous passage over the famous Chilkoot pass before the railroad was built when she walk. ed in snow and ice.
 Dawson is a city of about 5000 in- habitants in winter, Mrs. Mclean re- ports. In summer probably 5000 is a fair estimate of its population. In these days civilization has reached the gold city in every form, and all the comforts of home may be enjoyed, When Mrs. Mclean went in" tallOw candle was luxury. Even now a ''two-bit" piece, or 9 cents, Is the smallest coin in circulation.

AS TO THE WEATHER.
One Topic of Conyersation Which
 Americans OverwOrk.

One Topic of Conversation Which
 Americans Overwork.
 Foreigners coming to this country express surprise at the amount of con versatiOn Americans give to the wealth CT. They say that we discuss the weather more than any one subject and not only the weather that is, but that which has been and the probabili- ties for tomorrow or next week, says the Indianapolis News.
 It is true that the American talks of the weather. If he meets an ac- quaintance in passing and he wishes to appear agreeable, in addition to say ing good morning" he adds, nice day" or "beastly weather" or like sentence, that is more than the mere morning salutation. When strangers are introduced, or even if they have not been, the first subject for discus sion is the weather. When women call on each other it is the weather that furnishes the first part of the conver sation and it has been known to fur nish the only subject for an afternoon call.
 The first hot days of summer al- ways bring out the "weather," and there is a general tone of complaint that the sun is hot. Merchant and clerk, mistress and maid, friend and friend, members of the family, all talk about the weather.
 Herman Lieber, president of the North American Gymnastic Union, is philosopher about the weather When the clouds threatened he only smiled and said: We cannot do anything about the weather" His spirit was not daunted, nor did his lips express any regret. MT. Lieber, however, is an exception, and it must be that, while he lives in Indiana, he has the strong foreign nature that has some thing other than the weather to talk about or even to worry about.
 The weather" is the first thing in the morning for the Americans, for by the prospect of the morning sky does he wear his clothing and does he gauge his temper. The weather man, in his station, is called up by telephone num- erous times, when persons wish to make inquiry about the weather, Often this is a legitimate inquiry but quite as often the question is from mere curiosity, so that the answer received may form the subject of talk.
 Men, as well as women, and even children, talk in all seriousness about the weather yesterday, to-day, to-mor rows outlook or even go back week or more to discuss rain and tell in cidents of being caught out in a down. pour, or of nearly melting" from the heat.
 There are persons to whom the weather is never agreeable and they take particular. care that people shall know it. Be the day ever so bright a summer day, with delicious breath of ozone, waiting sweet odors that all most intoxicate, this never-pleased person has some fault to find, while, should there be suggestive haze at the horizon, that is enough to make his temper even more murky than hydrant water after fire.
 It is the weather, weather, weather whether fair or foul, warm or cool, the crystalline draft of springtime or the mellow flavor of October.

VINOL SETTLES
The Cod Liver Ol Question

No one will dispute the curative and strength creating value of cod liver oil. For centuries it has been recognized as the greatest of all healing and body building agents for wasted human strength and vitality.
 Yet, owing to the heavy, greasy oil which envelopes the medicinal ele- ments, and which has no value either as 8 food or medicine, many patients weakened by disease canot digest 1t either in it's raw form or an emulsion, and others will not take it on account of it's disagreeable odor and taste-- consequently it's value Is lost.
 Now, the process discovered by two eminent French chemists -Morgues and Gautier- should interest every person in Montgomery, for all of the tonic. body building and curative elements of cod liver oil are now separated from the greasy, useless oil, and given to the people in delicious Vnol For this reason it is fast superseding old-fash- toned cod liver oil and emulsions.
 As a body-builder and strength creator for old people, weak women delicate children, and after sickness and all pulmonary diseases, it is rec commended by over 5000 of the leading druggists of the United States as the best.

Will Rev. Henry Trawick, for the past year the pastor of the Perry Street Methodist Church, be made pas tor of the Court Street Church at the Eufaula Conference?
 Visitors to the Conference who reacn- ed Montgomery yesterday we're firmly of the opinion that the greatest charge in the State of Alabama, the Court Street Methodist Church, will be given to the brilliant young minister. who has served the Berry Street Chuch so well. Of course there is yet no cer- tainty to the appointment. As the sit uation is now the Methodists who have been at Eufau1a and have returned, are convinced that unless something now unexpected should occur, Mir. Ira wick will get the pastorate left vacant by the transfer of Dr. John A. Rice to the Louisiana Conference,
 For one thing it is known that there has been no transfer consummated from any of the conferences of the adjoining states of some prominent minister Such a transfer was expected. The Court Street Methodist church is the largest church in Southern Methodism except the leading Methodist Church of St. Louis. N

 There is no doubt that Mir. Bryan is planning to capture the nomination. He believes the time has come when if nominated, he can be elected, and it looks now very much as if he would be the Democratic nominee.
 There are signs, however, that there cratic Party in favor of nominating a Southern man in 1908. The belief is growing that the South, which furn- ishes the most of the Democratic strength in the electoral college, should take charge of the party. For many years the opinion has prevailed that a Southern candidate would find but lit- tie support in the North, but there are good reasons for thinking that belief is erroneous. On the contrary, there is ground for saying that Southern can didate would be popular In that sec ton.
 For quite a long time the pendulum has been swinging toward radicallsm. It will begin swinging the other way in the near future, if indeed, 1t hasn't already begun to do so.

Charlotte. N. C., Dec. 9-one white man, five negroes and an Indian were literally blown into fragments by the explosion of dynamite in a tunnel on the right-of-way of the New South and Western Railroad, Friday night.
 The white man had been ordered to open a box of dynamite for blasting purposes and started to comply. One blow from a hammer exploded the con. tents and only a small fragment of the white man, who was blown through the tunnel, has been found.
 Six others were dismembered and seven were seriously injured. A mule and car were blown through the por- tai of the tunnel and down the moun- tain side. The car was wrecked but the mule escaped Unscathed and of his own volitlon galloped off to the stable.
 Not single person in the tunnel es- capped injury.

question. It is a conception of the Presbyterian Church that the church must have no part in politics, and it never has had a part. The State of Alabama was disgraced, he declared, by the use of church affiliations as means of influencing voters in the last campaign. But the liquor question is not political issue, hut one of moral fty, and the church has right to plea for the boys and the men and the wo- men whom liquor had ruined or is ruin ing. The church could, should, do something and something practical. The dispensary, he said, was not practical solution of the problem.
 He outlined the theories of the Anti Saloon League and said their work was practical and the best solution yet off, fered. The League advocates home rule" applied to counties, and to the political subdivisions of the counties. This method of decision for or against salons he approved heartily.
