BEST TONIC FOR THE NERVOUS.
Diet of Raw Eggs and Milk Will Work
Wonders.

New York society women are at
last beginning to learn the value of
raw eggs as a nerve tonic" said a
trained nurse the other day. "For the
last few years I've been trying to get
nervous patients to give this simple
remedy a trial, but I really think it's
simplicity was against it. These fash
ionable women want something ex-
pensive, with a wonderful name, and
prescribed by some noted specialist
who charges a fabulous sum for each
visit. When anything is simple, easy
and cheap it doesn't stand any chance
with them at all.
"A celebrated nerve specialist told
me only the other day that one could
hardly overestimate the benefit de-
rived from the almost wholesale eat
ing of raw eggs in case Of serious
nervous exhaustion. Not a raw egg
now and then-not a bit Of it-but
raw eggs two at a time and at least
four times a day! Ten eggs a day
are often taken by a patient with
most excellent results. This same
specialist told me that he had seen
the most ragged set of nerves he ever
dealt with quieted in a week with
this treatment combined with as much
milk as the patient could take. An
immense amount of pure and highly
concentrated nourishment may be TAX
en- into the system in this way"

"The mother brought proceed
ings in court for the recovery of
the child. The case brought a big
crowd of farming folk one dayinto
the courtroom at Hillsboro, the
county seat of Montgomery coun-
ty. Judge Phillips, afterward of
the supreme court of Illinois, pre-
sided. The case lasted far into the
night, and the scene in the crowd
ed and lighted courtroom was
dramatic. The rival claimants
for the little morsel of humanity
of course were there, the mother
pale and anxious, the other wom-
an with the child, beautifully
dressed in rich materials, in her
lap. While the woman who had
adopted the child was giving her
testimony the judge directed that
the mother be allowed to hold it.
The affecting way the parent wept
over and caressed the the child,
and the way it chung and cuddled
to her, as if by instinct, produced
a deep impression in court.
at was after midnight when
Judge Phillips rendered his de-
cision to the effect that there hav-
ing been NJ regular legal form of
adoption the child should be re-
turned to it's mother. The latter,
on hearing this, tainted and was
| carried out of the courtroom.
Then the other woman, with stern
determination, proceeded before
the spectators to strip the baby
of all it's costly finery and to dress
it in the poor garments in which
she had received it,"

FAILURES w BUSINESS.
Onlv Ono Out of a Hundred 14DW0 q
Year for q Period OF thirty
Seven Years.

Who was originally responsible
for the statement that 95 per cent.
of people going into business ulti-
mately fail, it is impossible to say,
says the Mercantile Review, but
one frequently hears the state
ment repeated, especially in ad-
dresses before business mems
conventions, and in speeches at
dinners of commercial organiza-
tions. Other misstatements are
corrected, other myths die out,
but this one persists. Recently
the hoary old humbug received a
bad whack, a solar plexus blow,
that should send it down "for the
count"
The stroke was dealt by Dun's
weekly circular in response to the
query Of a correspondent wheth-
er it is true that IS per cent. of
business men fail. The Dun
agency people looked into the
matter. They studied the stats
tics of failures since 1857, and
they found that the records show
that the ratio of failures in bust
ness between 1866 and. 1908, in
elusive, averaged only a little over
one per cent. each year, that
is one out of every hundred firms
in business failed. The ratio ex-
ceeded 1 per cent. during the years
of hard. times, from 1875 to 1878,
inclusive, and again from 1893 to
1898; but of the 80 years between
1866 and 1903 there were 10 years
when the ratio slightly exceeded
one per cent, and 10 years in
. which it was slightly less than one
per cent.
This showing does not reveal
exactly how many Of those who
enter business ultimately fail, for
the number of firms and individ.
uals entering business every year,
and the number of those voluntar'
lily retiring from business, would
have to be known in order to get
the figures exact; but it is very ev'
ident that the old delusion of 81
per cent. of business men failing
| has no foundation in fact.

No Fresh Air in London.

There is no fresh air in the heart
of London, according to the conclu-
sions Of a recent investigator. He
says: mo evidence of ozone was any
where apparent, except at Browns
wood Park, in the northeast. 1t was
from the northeast quarter the wind
was blowing and the air had lost all
trace of ozone before it had reached
Hyde Park; at Bushey Park, although
practically a country district, nc ozone
was present in the air. London had
not only distracted the goodness out
of the air that swept over it, but had
added to it the e%xhalations from the
breath and bodies of thousands Of an
finals. Persons living within a one
or two mile radius of Charing Cross
cannot have fresh air entering their
dwellings at any time"

LEGAL RIGHT.
Demonstrated in an Affecting Suit
Ear Possession in an I'LL
nois Court.

~ once knew of a legal dispute
about a child which ended in a
way that somehow reminded me
of the judgment of Solomon" said
Lawyer George A. Dupuy, relates
the Chicago Daily News. ut hap
pened that in a St. Louis hospital
a young woman whose husband
had left her gave birth to a child.
She was a very poor young wom-
an, friendless and unfortunate.
In her extremity of poverty, on the
advice of some humane persons,
she agreed to leave her infant for
adoption. Sorrowfully parting
from it, she went away to he:
home in a remote part of Missouri.
"The child was adopted by a
well-to-do family at Litchield, III.
There for several months it was
cared for tenderly. Then, one day,
the mother appeared on the scene.
Her husband, having acquired
some means, had returned to her,
whereupoE she determined, if pos
sible, to regain possession of her
child.
"I have come for my baby she
timidly said, on reaching it's home
in Litchfeld.
"For answer the woman who
had adopted the child produced a
revolver. You get out Of here
she said. IF you touch that child
I'll blow your head off,

The Walters Rebuke.

Bishop Brewster Of Connecticut,
while visiting some friends not long
ago, tucked his napkin in his collar to
avoid the juice of the grape fruit at
breakfast, says %Lippincott's. He
laughed as he did it, and said it re-
minded him Of a man he once knew
who rushed into a restaurant, and,
seating himself at a table, proceeded
to tuck his napkin under his chin. He
then called a waiter and said: Can l
get lunch here?" YES" responded
the waiter in a dignified manner, but
not a shampoo"

Pats Long "Lape."

Last summer when excursions were
being run from Providence to New
port, r. l., an incident occurred that
created considerable laughter. Pat
MCGUIRE, a small. good-natured Irish
man, was hurrying down the street to
the wharf, when he met a few friends,
who talked with him until the boat
about to start. Pat raj down the
street, and as he reached the wharf,
the boat was pulling out into the
stream. Not intending to get left, he
made a jump, just cleared the rail, and,
landing heavily on his head, was rem
dered unconscious for a few minutes.
When he recovered he stood up,
looked back al the wharf, and sx-
claimed: "Jabez! What a Lapel"

Air de Luxe.

w. P. Northrup, in the Medical Rec
learned how to eat and drink and how
to wash, but he has not yet learned
how to ventilate. The author depicts
the unhygienic conditions existing in
most places of public assemblage,
owing to the lack of fresh air, and says
that the need for reform in this re-
gard is also great in private dwell
ings. The curse of modern living is
overworking, o%verheating and lack of
ventilation, not to mention worry and
hasty eating. The suggestion is made
of utilizing the roofs . of dwelling
houses as sources of fresh air, by con-
structing roof gardens.

TO BECOME A c~ENTENARlAN
It Is Only to Take Up Your Resddsnae
In Arizona or New Mextcos
] According to This. =

The pitiless logic of percent
ages as applied to vital statistics,
falls short of accounting for one
fact in the census reports-the
longevity of residents of the few
remaining territories Of the coun-
try, says the New York Sun.
OF 100000 persons in the popu.
lation of the average American
community, taking the whole
country through, there is just one
who reaches or exceeds the age OF
100. AS the census computers
prosaically express it, "99,999 die
before that time" One in 100000
is therefore the percentage OF cen
tenarians in the United States,
but in Arizona it is 10-ten times
as high as in the rest of the coun-
try-and in New Mexico it is 3
nine times as high as in the other
portions of the United States.
Some states, Arkansas, Mime
sofa, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho,
have no centenarians. Some
states, Florida, California, New
Hampshire, South Carolina and
Vermont, have a high rate Of cen
tenarians-three times as large
as the average in the other states,
but much below the figures of Ari-
iona and New Mexico.
There are few centenarians in
New England, but the number OF
persons between Is and 100 there
is greater than in any other Sec
ton of the United States, and the
two New England states which
are most noted on account of their
great number of old inhabitants
are Vermont and Maine. Massa-
chusetts has a considerable num-
Der, but the people of Massachu-
setts are generally of a more pro-
gressive character than those OF
the farming districts of Vermont
and Maine, and urban life is not
generally conducive to longevity.
The number of centenarians in
the territories is to be ascribed,
probably, to favorable climat'
ic conditions, for both Arizo'
ma and New Mexico enjoy celeb
rity as beneficial in pulmonary all
ments. The question Of territor'
ial organization has probably
nothing to do with it.

A Lesson Well Learned.


The following story is told of Elihu
Root. secretary of state, at Washing
ton. and his Office boy. Said Mr.. Root
to the lad one day:
who has taken my waate-paper
basket?"
"Mr. Riley" said the boy.
"And who is Mr.. Riley?" asked Mr..
Root.
"The caretaker, sir"
James, who opened that Window"
Mr.. Root asked, an hour later.
MIR. Lantz, sir"
And who is Mr.. Lantz?"
"The window cleaner, sir"
Mr.. Root turned and looked at the
boy.

Ten minutes afterwards the door
opened, and the shrill voice of James
was heard:

Chinese SWindlers,

In the Philippine islands some of
the Cinnamon are extremely clever at
swindling, n of their tricks being
to remove whisky from q bottle and
substitute vinegar without breaking
the seal. They do this by soaking off
the label and drilling a tiny hole in
the side of the bottle. They then take
out the whisky and substitute a liquid
similar in color, fill up the hole and
cover it with the label.

MINISTER NOT TO BE BLUFFED.

GoodIy Zeal.


GoodIy Zeal.
The Rev. N. Boynton was raising
the debt from the little church at
Georgetown, Me-, one summer, ten or
twelve years ago. He asked each
member to give 81. Most of the bro
theirs and sisters were willing to give
the amount, but one old farmer was
loath to part with his mite. Meeting
him one morning on the wharf, the
minister asked him again for the dol
lar.
Jump into the water and you get
it," was the reply.
Without a word, and much to the
surprise of the farmer, the reverend
gentleman plunged into the water, and
when he scrambled up on to the
wharf the dollar was handed to him,
amid the laughter of the lookers-on.
