Whose Say-so Is Best

With nearly all medicines put up for
sale through druggists, ono has to take
the makers say-so alone MS to their cura-
tive value. OF course, such testimony Is
not that OF disinterested party and
accordingly is not to be given the same
credit ms II written from disInterested
motives. DIR. Piorce's medicines, how
ever, form single and therefore striking
exception TO this rule Their claims TO
the confidence OF invallds does not rest
solely upon their makers say so or

separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid
sufferers are taken into DIR. Perce's full
confidence. Scores OF leading medical
men have written enough to fill volumes

LAWYERS Unique Plea Failed.

One evening recently Mr. and Mrs.
John Jacob Aston went on a slum-
ming trip in the Chinatown of
New York, accompanied by a friend
or two. In the course of the explor.
alton they were conducted through
the gambling house kept by one Jim
Lee. A few days later Jim and some
assistants were arrested for gambling,
whereupon his lawyer advanced this
original plea: Your honor, these
men were the hosts the other night
Of party headed by Mrs. John Jacob
Aston, and they have made every
preparation to return the call to-day
Chinese etiquette is very punctillious
in this respect and it will be a life
long grief to these men if they are
prevented from fulfilling their social
obligation" The magistrate refused
to be moved by this talk and held
Jim to answer.

interesting Plant Recently Establish.
ed by the Weather Bureau.
TO give to airy nothings a local
habitation and q name Prof. Willis l.
Moore, chief of the weather bureau
has established special plant at
Mount Weather, Va. BY means Of bal
looms and kites the temperature
moisture and movements of the air at
great heights will be ascertained
The absorption of solar heat by the
atmosphere will be measured by the
pyrheliometer and actiniometer. The
dissipation Of solar light and heat
will be determined by the polari-
scope The special analysis Of the
sunbeam will be carried out by means
of the bolometer and spectrometer.
The electric conditions will be deter
mined by means of the electrometer,
and the radio activity or ionization
of the air by means Of dissipation
apparatus. To this is added appa-
ratus for studying the weather as re-
lated to the earth's magnetism, tenn
perature of the soil and motions. All
these have been proved to have a
more or less intimate connection with
the weather. Balloons and kites will
be used to get the temperature, moist
ure, and movement of the air at great
heights.

Mcclellan out WIN Tammany.

One Of the proofs that Mayor Nc.
Clcllan of New York and Charles F.
Murphy have come to the parting of
the ways is the appointment of Hugh
Bonner as deputy fire commissioner.
Bonner was once chief of the fire de-
partment, but was never a politician.
He was forced to resign after thirty
nine years service in May, 1899. He
afterward went to Manila at the re.
quest of President Roosevelt to reor-
ganize the fire department there,
which he did. 1t is sale that Bonner's
knowledge of the construction of
buildings in New York was superior
TO that Of any architect or real es-
tate man.

WOMEN HAVE CREATIVE GENIUS
Statement to the Contrary Denied by
OBSERVING Writer.

observing Wrlter.
1t is not true that woman lacks
creative genius. In fact, the invent
i've talent Is marked in woman. There
is usually something original in her
makeup The rude masculine observ-
er who makes the charge that woman
is defective in creativeness is wrong,
He has noted that when one woman
begins to wear certain or uncertain
shape of hat that every other woman
must have the same shape, be 1t
shapely or shapeless. He has observ-
ed that when one woman switches
the fullness of the sleeve from the
elbow to the shoulder or back again
from the shoulder to the elbow every
other woman must do the same. He
has observed that when one woman
designs to bake cake she insists on
borrowing her neighbours recipe,
though this argues more for woman's
reverence for precedent than for her
lack of originality. The observer has
also noted that the first woman got
off the street car backward and that
ever since every other woman has
done the same thing.-Washing

Doctor shrewd Business Man.

DR.. William S. Hawke of Trenton,

though he is a professional man. A
few days ago he saw Thomas Fletcher
"steeple jack" repairing the spire of
g church. Fletcher owed Or. Hawke
s21 for medical attention, but had
made no effort to pay, though bill
had been sent long ago. Learning
that the "steeple jack" was to be paid
as soon as the job was finished,
which would be that evening, Dr.
Hawke went into court and secured
an attachment for the amount of his
claim and the debtor was forced to
pay for receipt before getting the
balance of 81.

WASTE TURKISH PUBLIC MONEY.
Typical Case of Mismanagement In
ConstantinopIe.

Writes Constantinople CORE
spondent: "The present state of the
government shipyard reveals an al
most unbelievable state of chaos, and
demonstrates how official sloth and
corruption can render an extensively
equipped establishment absolutely i'm
potent. Some years ago Englishmen
directed affairs, the boiler shop, the
tube factory, shipbuilding yard, and
marine engine shop being all under
English management. The late min
lister, Hassan Pasha, altered this,
however, and placed the management
in Turkish hands, foreigners being
able to hold only very subordinate
positions.
Results of this policy are now ap-
parent. The whole of the machinery
Is not only inefficiently managed, but
is in a condition of absolute decay
Torpedo boats and submarines are
seen, never used, and rapidly rusting
away. In the yard is the skeleton of
a cruiser which was commenced
twelve years ago and never finished,
and which has since become obso
lete.
"a forty-ton Siemens steel plant
with rolling mills and fifty-ton steam
crane, is rapidly becoming useless
through neglect, and the parts of a
5000, ton hydraulic forging press de-
livered twelve years ago have never
been unpacked. The only thriving
part of the whole department is the
management. consisting of forty-six
pashas and innumerable beys."
