AN INCIDENT AT "ouR CLUB"
The Proud and Happy Papa Seeks a
"Seconder" for His Son.

Our club is not a large one and we
rather pride ourselves that it is not.
Our club is on a side street and we
rather pride ourselves that we are
not upon the avenue, says Arthur Cos
slett Smith in Scribner's. There is
an active but small minority that
claim that we hug ourselves because
we are not as other men are, that
we have not what some other clubs
have-a mortgaged house. stock
ticker, a keen man at the door who
can get you a box in horseshoe at
the opera or next the ropes at prize
fight, a cardroom where men may
play for stakes they cannot afford
to lose and which, if they lose, they
pay. if they pay at all, when next
they win, thus making clearing
house with no governors.
1t will be seen that we are, perhaps,
a trif1e old-fashioned, but the fact re-
mains that when one of us has male
child born the father takes a cab
not an electric; we are still a bit
skittish about self-propelled vehicles
and drives to the club. Arrived, he
marches to the big book on the table
and enters for membership the little,
lobster hued, blinking, whining bit Of
protoplasm that he calls my son."
Then he looks about him for a sec
onder. If it be the late afternoon
the bishop may be there. If not, there
is a little cardroom on the first floor,
and where no younger member ven
lures until half past six, when the
game ends. Between the deals the
father beckons to the admiral, the
general, the banker or the Judge (the
quartet of the little room), and says.
viii you second my son?" God
bless me." says the admiral. "of
course l VIII; much honored, Simp-
son. We've been waiting for this a
long while-had come to the concIu-
sion that Mrs. Simpson was, perhaps.

Hiss KofeA A4cDOaoId,

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which nanifests itself in
depression of spirits. reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything. backache,
bearing-down pains. hatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkhams Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Woodbridge,
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:
'' Restored health has meant so much to me
that cannot help from telling about it for
the sake of other suffering women.
g For long time l suffered untold agony
with a female trouble and irregularities,
which made me physical wreck and no one
thought would recover, but Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strCng, and
| feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what a splendid medicine it is"
For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia e. Pinkham,
has under her direction. and since her
deeease. been advising sick women free
of charge. Her advice is free and
always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass.

WHY EVERYBODY LIKES SAND.
Love of 1t Is Universal and Is Felt at
Ali Ages.

The love of sand is universal, felt
by all, and at all ages. The child finds
in it a ready and a plentiful material
for giving something of defniteness
to the world of his imagination, and
when experience shall have proved
the real world to be less pleasant and
not expressible in sand he neverthe-
less as Il grown man tacitly admits
the attraction of the old-time medium
and spends his holidays upon it. No
watering place need trouble as to its
prosperity if it has a broad forefront
of sand.
Probably so general and ingrained
a love is only to be accounted for as
tho result of a sympathetic and I'M
conscious barking back to the feel
of the life on the dry sandy soils of
the east, upon which man first wan
dered and in which he first delved,
says the London Spectator. He can
sit or lie with greater comfort and
eaSe-as he originally sat, without
chair or lay with out a couch-upOn
sand than upon any other kind of
earth and upon sand he reverts read
lily and without fear of convention to
primeval barefootedness Possibly
even the charm of the ''sanded floor"
i'm the concrete to our forefathers,
the comfort and coziness of CHEEKY inn
parlors and kitchens warm with the
ruddy heat of glowing logs on snowy
nights-may also be due to vaguely
assertiVe instinct.
In proof it may be :'eadily cOnclud-
ed that far distant man would not
have been long in finding out the ad-
vantGges of a dry cave as a dwelling
place 1t would be found most readily
in soft, friable rocks. The natural
and further easy expansion of the
cave to meet growing demands for
house room by scraping down of roof
and sides would result in a sanded
floor Litter of rude cave living and
housekeeping could be more easily
swept out with the leafy bough of
bunch of edges acting as the original
broom when mixed with sand +han
without it's aid. The savage family
which swept the cave out oftenest
and most thoroughly would certainly
be the healthiest and strongest.

These springs are always on the

crops out, and from the pores of this
stone the water flows and comes down
the creek bed until it sinks in the
sand. That it is the same water found
in the depth of the Santa Fe well in
Syracuse is apparent from taste and
use, and being so far away from the
fiat land of the river valley it is an in
dication at least that the same flow
of water, by boring, some day will be
found remote from that stream. AT
least it is sufficient for the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe to continue its
subterrancan explorations. Sufficient
soft water for locomotive use has
been found near the track in the flats

Ancient Custom.

The drinking of healths in wine or
liquor of other kinds originated in
Britain at the time OF the rule of the
Danes. before Alfred the Great finally
succeeded in driving them from the
land. Owing to the assassination Of
Englishmen by the Danes, it became
custom to enter into comp2cts for the
mutual preservation Of health and Sc
curlty. These compacts were usually
pledged IN wine, and hence the custom
OF drinking healths.

The Ane of Machinery.

me age OF machinery.
We live in the age of machinery.
The thinking, directing mind becomes
daily of more account, while mere
Drawn falls correspondingly in value
from day to day. That eccentric phil
osopher, Ebert Hubbard, says in one
of his essays, where a machine will
do better work than the human hand,
we prefer to let the machine do the
work.
1t has been but a few years since
the cotton gin, the spinning Jenny
and the power loom displaced the
hand picker, the spinning wheel and
the hand loom: since the reaper and
binder, the rake and tedder, the now
ing machine took the place of the old
cradle, scythe, pitchfork and hand
rake; since the friction match su-
perseded the flint and tinder; since
the modern paint factory replaced the
slab and muller, the paint pot and
paddle.
In every case where machinery has
been introduced to replace hand labor,
the laborers have resisted the change;
and as the weavers, the sempstresses
and the farm laborers protested
chimes and agricultural implements,
SO in recent times compositors have
protested against type-setting ma
chimes, glass blowers against bottle
blowing machines, and painters
against ready mixed paints. And as
in the case of these short-sighted
classes of an earlier day, so with their
imitators Of to-day, the protest will
be in vain. 1t is a protest against civ
ilizatiOn, against the common veal,
against their own welfare.
The history of all mechanical i'm
provements shows that workmen are
the first to be benefited by them.
The invention of the sewing machine,
instead Of throwing thousands of wom-
en- out of employment, increased the
demand to such an extent that thou
sands of women have been employed,
at better wages, for shorter hours and
easier work where hundreds before
worked in labOrious misery to exc
out a pitiable existence. 1t was so
with spinning and weaving machin-
cry, with agricultural implementS-in
fact, it is 50 with every notable i'm
provement. The multiplication of
books in the last decade is direct
result of the invention of linotype
machinery and fast presses.
The mixed paint industry in which
carefully designed paints for house
painting are prepared on large scale
by special machinery, is another i'm
prOvement of the same type. The
cheapness and general excellence of
these products has so stimulated the
consumption of paint that the de-
mand for the services of painters has
CORRESPONDENCE multiplied. Before
the advent of these goods well-paint-
ed house was noticeable from it's
rarity, whereas to-day an illpainted
house is conspicuous.
Nevertheless, the painters, as
rule, following the example set by
the weavers, the sempstresses and the
farm laborers of old, almost to q man,
oppose the Improvement. 1t is a real
Improvement, however, and simply be-
cause of that fact the sale OF such
products has increased until during
the present year it will fall not far
short of 9O,00O,00O or 1O0,000,00O gal
Ions.
Hindsight is always better than
foresight, and most of us who deplore
the short-sightedness of our ancestors
would do we'll to see that we do not
in turn furnish terrible examples to
