The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in woman is so close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration. nervous debility, the blues,
sleepiessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the

that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal

To know whether one will outlive the
year is almost universally regarded as
very desirable piece of knowledge,
and to acquire it the men and women
of different nations resort to various
stratagems to compel fate to stand and
deliver. The dweller by the Ganges
lights a tiny rush candle and fixes it
upright on bit of board, which he
launches on the waters of the sacred
stream. If it remains alight until he
can count TT, the perfect number, he
regards his prospects as good for the
year. If it goes out the omen is unfa-
vorable. He gives himself the benefit
of expedition, too, for instead Of count
ing In prosaic fashion-one, two, three,
fourth the old slow style, he counts by
leaps and bounds-five, ten, fifteen,
twenty, twenty-five, thirty-and thus
takes advantage of the Pickering can
die and fiuctuating wave and increases
his length Of days by the glibness Of
his tongue.-Pittsburg Press.

Christmas Cakes.

Little cakes that will please the chill
dren either at the table or on the
Christmas tree are made as follows:
Bake the cakes in little patty or muffin
pans and frost the tops with white
icing. Dip small new paint brush in
melted chocolate and draw face on
each. Make some crying and others
laughing, the different expressions be-
ing made by the curve of the mouth
line. The merest outline will be suffi-
cient. Cut circle of tissue paper Of
white or any other color liked two
inches larger than the cake, pink the
edge with scissors and run a thread
round one inch from the edge. Put a
cake In the paper, draw up the thread,
and a cunning little cap is formed.
The pleasure of small children will
well repay the trouble of making these
little cake babies.-Pittsburg Press.

How New Years Day Is Celebrated In
the Italian Colony.
The little boys and girls of Mulberry
street, on New York's queer east side,
keep their pockets, purses and savings
banks ready for New Years. This is
their great day. Whether or not the
American Santa Claus put anything In
their stockings on Christmas, their own
uncles and aunts cannot get off without
strenna de capo d'anno (New Years
gift. The strenna is confined to the
tributed by the relatives and friends of
the household on New Years day, when
calls and congratulations are in order.
"Buon capo d'annow CA good head of
the year!D
"Lo stesso a vol per cento amir
c'The same to you for a hundred
yearsv0
When the greetings are over the
guests will be treated to vermicelli
served with a special sort of sauce and
salad and ''merluzzo" prepared with oil
and lemon juice. The thought of the
New Years viands makes the black
eyed children smack their red lips. and
their time is taken up with discussing
it as well as with making forecasts as
to how much of a strenna Uncle So
and-so and Cousin So-and-so will put in
his or her little hand before leaving.
The old folks in Italy, too, are think
ing gratefully of the great land beyond
the seas over the wine and yprmicqlli
which they have bought with American
money. If strenna is here only given
to children an exception Is made for
the old people at home, to whom a
New Years gift is sent three or four
weeks in advance so as to reach it's des
tination in time for the great religious
and civil holiday. The Mulberry street
bankers do rushing business in capo
d'anno remittances.-New York Herald.

watching the Old Year Out.

Watching the old year out has, been
a common custom in many lands. In
most countries it assumes with the Sc
rious minded the phase of devotion. In
many countries where Roman Catholi-
cism is the prevalent form of faith the
year Is begun with midnight masses
Among the Greek Catholics the same
usage prevails. 1t declined In the
Church Of England, but was revived
by several of the dissenting bodies, the
watch night of the Methodists ac.Ig
merely a modification of the once gen.
eral practice. Among the convivially
inclined. however, watch night is TAX
en- anything but seriously, and the new
year is welcomed with such signs OF
rejoicing as to one who did not under
stand the customs would seem to indi-
cate that all men were heartily tired Of
existence and glad to see their years go
by as speedily as possible

THE NEW YEAR IN JAPAN.
The Day When the Milxado Has (,

The Day When the MilSado Has to
Get Up at O'Clock.
Quaint and curious New Year GUS
toms exist in Japan, where the LIST of
January commences with religious
festival celebrated at 5 In the morn
ing. At this time the mikadO, dressed
in japanese costume, proceeds from
the palace, followed by his deputies ar
rayed in ancient style and the foreign
diplomats in regalia dress. He enters
a small building or temple, prostrates
himself to the east, west, north and
south, and all present pray for the
prosperity Of the nation.
Later at a ceremonial breakfast the
emperor and empress receive their
family and court for three hours, the
rooms being thronged. At the expira-
ton of that time the real year begins,
and a formal luncheon is served from
which each guest is expected to take
a cup and saucer as souvenir.
Among the people the earth and
heaven are propitiated by offerings of
rice and vegetables, and strips Of
red paper are pasted on the doors as
a sign of good luck. This color is used
exclusively save in cases where a
death has occurred within year,
when blue paper is used instead of
red. The day ends with people still
saluting each other and attending the
plays at the theaters, where gorgeous
robes and monotonous voices are the
distinguishing features. = New York

nrxAu "ss" HAIR TONIC

The famous Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic is composed in chief of
Resorcin, Beta Naphthol and
Pilocarpin.
Resorcin is one of the latest
and most effective germ-killers
discovered by science, and in
connection with Beta Naphthol,
which is both germicidal and
antiseptic, a combination is
formed which not only destroys
the germs which rob the hair of
its nutriment, but creates a
clean and healthy condition of
the scalp, which prevents the
Judgment and development of
new germs.
Pilocarpin is well-known
agent for restoring the hair to
its natural color, where the loss
of color has been due to a dis
ease of the scalp. 1t is not a
coloring matter or dye-it pro-
duces its effect by stimulating
the scalp and hair follicles to
health and active life.
This com bin alto of cur
atives mixed with alcohol as a
stimulant, perfects the most eff
fect,ve remedy for hair and
scalp troubles known to-day.

RExALL DYSPEPSIA TABLETS

The remarkable success of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets is
largely due to the new and sue
cessful method of manufacture,
whereby the well known prop
critics of Bismuth Subnitra,c
and Pepsin have been combined
with carminitives and 9th or
agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pep
sin are recognized by the entire
medical profession as specifics
for acute indigestion or chronic
dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used is manufac-
tured under a new process S
which develops its greatest eff
ficiency. Pepsin not only sup
plies to the digestive machinery
one of the most important ele-
ments of the digestive fluid, but
il seems to exert a tonic intiu-
ence upon the glands which
supply all the other elements.
The carminitives add prop
critics which promptly relieve
pains caused by undigested food.
The combination of the whole
makes a remedy absolutely in
valuable to any man or woman
suffering from dyspepsia-and
not only a remedy, but a eHyI
which works by gradually re
building and stimulating I h
glands which perform the d;
gestive functions. Package, 25c
