Worry and Fear Removed.

It is not religion. but the lack Oh
It that makes people unhappy. Yet
how strangely and how widely the
opposite view prevails. There are
many who think of religion not only
as a CALLING drudgery, but as the
surest source of moroseness, melan-
choly and unhappiness Of life. Their
idea is that religion is a system or
suffering to which many people are
willing to submit here in order that
they may not suffer hereafter-that
religions only happiness is In the
future, its rewards after death. In
stead, the real fact is that religion Is
a thing of present Joy and ever CON
tinuing blessedness. 1t Is the glao-
dest, happiest thing in all this world.
Her ways are ways Of pleasantness
and all her paths are peace
It is religion that gives us the
bright things in life and sin the dark
things. and not vice versa. Religion
goes down to the deepest springs o.
our mental and spiritual well-being.
1t brings untold measures of peace
and Joy. 1t takes the sting out OF
the past and it takes the worry out
of the present. 1t tlkes the fear out
of the future-The Rev. G. b. f.

DISARMED.

There Is frank honesty which
cannot be made ridiculous, although
it be an acknowledgment of ignor-
ance. 1t was an honesty that Lin
coin used, and an anecdote of him in
the Century shows how with it he
once disarmed a learned opponent
who had overwhelmed him with quo
tations.
Lincoln was not learned man, but
for true knowledge he had the high
est respect. The practicing lawyer
with his pseudo-learning, however,
was fair target for Lincoln. one
such lawyer, in order to impress MS
hearers and to embarrass his oppo-
nent, quoted massively Latin
maxim.
SIS that not so, Mr.. Lincoln?' he
asked.
IF that is Latin" Lincoln re-
sponded, dryly, II think you had bet
ter call another witness.
Probably the jury hailed the frank
young lawyer as their own champion,
since he professed himself as ignor-
ant as they,

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from II
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of it's freshness and the form of it's
fairness.

A Well.Known Remedy.

One of the oldest, safest and most IA
vorablv known remedies in the world to-
day ia Brandreths Pills-a blood purifie
and laxative. Being purely vegetable they
can be used by old or young with perfect
safety and while other remedies require
increased doses and finally cease acting
altogether, with Brandreth's Pills the same
dose always has the same effect, no matter
how long they are taken. One or two pills
taken each night for u while is the best
thing known for any one troubled with
constipation, indigestion, dyspepsia or any
trouble arising from al impure state OF
the blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use for
over a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store. plain or sugar'coated.

4 Theatrical Superstition.

They were rehersing new play
and everyone was nervous, for the
first night was close at hand.
The play was tragedy, yet at
its end the dying heroine, as the
curtain descended, said:

Those words concluded the play.
Yet they were entirely out Of keep

have been: II die, but since ! have
saved you l die happy" or some
ching to that effect.

stage OF their career, and the finger
print system is the only means of
Identification yet devised that makes
this practicable.
Not only is it virtually impossible
that any mans ten finger-prints, one
after the other, should resemble in
mere general mathematical form each
of those of another man, the chance
against any such coincidence being
calculated by Professor Francis Gal
ton, the eminent anthropologist and
mathematician, as one hundred and
sixty-four million against one, but it
Is equally impossible that any two
finger-prints should be identical in
every detail.
Recently the United States govern
ment has also adopted the thumb
print system for Identification of the
sailors and soldiers in service, as this
might become useful not only in
cases of desertion, but also to more
readily identify the bo-les of those
who have fallen on the field of battle.

and Sailors
A few weeks ago Inspector
Mclaughlin of the New York City De-
tective Bureau received remarkable
evidence of the value of thumb-print
Identification. A letter was brought
to him through the mails from London
containing the picture and record OF
q noted criminal whose thumb-print,
with his name and description, was
sent to London to test the efficiency
of this new method of recording dis
tinguishing marks of criminals. BY
means of the thumb-print alone. the
English police identified the criminal
captured by the New York police,
whose record in England includes eight
imprlsonments on charges Of larceny.
The prisoner was caught by Inspector
Mclaughlin in the corridor of the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel in April. There
were no charges against him in this
country at the time, but the Inspector
decided that his captive was an En-
glisb "crook" 1t was found that two
patrons of the hotel had been robbed
and the prisoner was detained for q
thorough investigation of his case.
Meanwhile the Inspector sent the
thumb-print to London and the reply
brought a photograph Of the "crook"
and a duplicate photograph of his
thumb-print and his record.
THE BERTILLON SYSTEM. ,
For some time the criminal bureaus
of prominent cities have been using
the Bertillon measurement system
which also includes making two pho
tographs of the suspicious character,
but the French system and photo
graphy have fallen short in many
cases, as scheming criminal can
adopt various subterfuges to cheat the
law, but there Is no way Of changing
the character of his thumb-print, for
there are no two people whose thumbs
are exactly alike, and each person has
his own individual thumb-print whose
character remains the same from the
day of birth to the end.
