He Was AbsentmInded.

The absentmlnded man Is ut 1t again.
He had been reading the egg story and
decided to try the trick. The first thing
to do was to boil the egg. How many
minutes2 he asked himself. and, going
to the stove with the egg In one hand
and his watch in the other, he dropped
the latter in the hot water. Then.
placing the egg on the table, he sat
down to read until the time was up.
At the end OF five or six minutes he
was surprised to find the egg lying
there before him, but, supposing that
he had himself taken 1t from the kettle
and cooled it, he proceeded to crack
and peel 1t. The consequence may be
imagined. Finally he missed his watch.
The house was searched high and low,
and it was not till the following morn
ing that the cook found 1t In the kettle,
where 1t had been boiling for hours

A bald head is Il less familiar (and
nowadays less true) representative of
the Interchangeable than the Ethiopian's
skin or the leopard's spots, but 1t was
cited In this character with impressive
pathos by Hipparchus, one of the sew
en- martyrs of Samosata. After they
had been subjected to severe fortunes
they were at last confronted with sew
en- crosses, and the Emperor Maxlmian
offered them a last chance to recant.
But the aged Hipparchus put his hand
on his bald head and cried. LAS this,
according to the order of nature, can
not again be covered with hair. so
never will | change or conform to your
wlshw Maxlmian ordered a goats
skin to be nailed to Hipparchus' head
and then jeeringly claimed that the
condition was fulfilled. But Hippar-
chus remained obdurate and speedily
died on the cross.-London Chronicle.

Money value of st. Louis.

When Louis IN, the saint, surren'
dered with his whole forces to the
Saracens at Mansura on the 9th OF
April, 1850. 100000 golden bezants-
equal TO half that number of the liyres
of the day-were demanded for his
freedom. But the Moslems came down
to 500 600 bezants, and in the end by
surrendering Damietta Louis got of
for 100000 marks-equal, roughly. to
over 100000 Of today. These golden
bezants contained about 80 shlllings'
worth of our gold but to go to market
with would buy then as much probably
as ~ sovereigns now would. Were
the scorner allowed to break forth here
he would probably tell how this high
priced and sanity carcass was treat
ed by his people when Louis died at
the siege of Tuns, twenty years later.
Being hard up for embalmers, they
had. according to the journal of Au-
berry, to quarter and boil him down in
separate caldrons and so sent but his
whlted skeleton to France.-London

Fraudulent sweersre.As.

"a true sweetbread Is perhaps the
most healthy meat that can be eaten,
said a doctor, but you are never able
to get 1t. The sweetbread proper Is the
pancreas. which is one of the most eff
fective agents in promoting digestion,
but the sweetbread of trade Is usually
obtained from the threats of cattle and
Is what is called the thyroid gland.
This gland rests against the windpipe,
and. while its texture is similar to that
of the real sweetbread, it has not the
same beneficial qualities. But some
butchers. in order to make money, pass
off the salivary gland that which fur
nishes the saliva. located in the cheeks,
for a sweetbread. This is the most in
ferior substitute of all. The pancreas,
or real sweetbread, is Il most dainty
morsel. 1t is of triangular form, while
the sweetbreads obtained from the
throat are Of an oval form. But what
Is the use of making people dissatis-
fed? They have been eating thyroid
and saliyary glands for sweetbreads
for years and have been satisfied. But
then they have never tasted the real
thing. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The People of Great Britain.

Ethnologically Great Britain Is a mix
ture of many races, resulting from a
succession of invasions. When the Ro-
mans invaded Britain the inhabitants
were Celtic, mixed with an earlier
Euskarlan non-Aryan element. They
continued to be mainly so until the
fifth and sixth centuries, when the lev
ell parts of the country were overrun
by German tribes. Then followed inva-
slons by the Danes and other Scandi-
nayian tribes and lastly the Norman
conquest. The inhabitants of England
and the lowlands of Scotland, there
FORE sprang from an amalgamation of
the original Celtic with German and
Scandinavian blood. Wales and the
highlands OF Scotland are still inhabit-
ed by descendants of the ancient Celtic
tribes. The people of Ireland also are
of Celtic origin, although there Is an
admixture of many other races.

Or. Williams Pink Pills the Best
Remedy for This Critical
Trouble

While Mr. w. S. Geisel, Of No. 1916
East Coates street, Moberly, Mo, was
steadily working Mt his trade i'll foun-
dry at that place he became the victim
of an attack of rheumatism, and his ex-
perience is that of thousands who are
compelled To work in similar surround
lngs. He describes his situation as fol-
lows:
i" had been at work for a long time
in a foundry where 1 was exposed to
dampness First my feet began to hurt
and To swell, then my knees and my
shoulder joints began to be affected IN
the same way. Finally | couldnot walk
without great difficulty and suffering
aud had to stop work altogether My
appetite was feeble and | grew very pale
and weak. began to have pains about
my heart and it futtered great deal.
[ became greatly alarmed about my con-
ditiOn. Ny mother knew about the yir-
rues Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, as they
lad given her back her health when she
WAS nearly wasting to death, and when
she found that they We're good for rheu-
matism too, she began to give them to
me about month after | was attacked.
That was i'll the early part of March,
1908, and by June they had driven away
the pains and swelling and had restored
my appetite and color Then l felt
strong enough to take up line Of out

gard myself as entirely we'll and am
about to go into a foundry again at st.

Rheumatism is one Of the most obsti-
nate diseases to treat after 1T has once
gained good foothold. The power OF
DR. Williams Pink Pills has been tested
in extreme cases and no one should de-
spair of cure if he has not tried this
sovereign remedy. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are so efficacious because they be-
gin at once to change the character OF
the blood, in which the disease is
seated They also cure other diseases
springing from impure blood or dis
ordered nerves, such as scatica, locomo,

forms of weakness i'll male or female.
