The Fate of the Little Pin.

1t would be very kind indeed il
some of the hers or 'hims' would
tell us If they know what becomes
of all the pins.
You never saw a worn out pin,
but then they seem to go. We get
several new papers today, and we
have none in a week or 80.
Oh, the pin, the wonderful pin;
The duties it does perform
Holding the skirt, the dress and all,
And other things to keep us warm.
You use pin for tooth pick,
Then you will throw it away;
Some one else will pick it up
And will use it the very same way.
You will find them everywhere,
Even sometimes on Deck,
But where they go we don't know;
Somebody steals them, 'spect.
Why don't they prosecute the man
That takes our pins, so bright;
1t may be though he does his work
Under cover Of the night.

1t is perhaps not true that in st.
Louis when the noon whistle blew a
carpenter mailing shingles on roof
left his hammer suspended in the
air at the upper end of stroke and
went to lunch, but Search Light
vouches for the following, which Is
along the same line:
While the American Library asso-
citation was in session a number of
members went to inspect a cotton
mill. They were in the card room
when the whistle blew for noon and
saw the card room boys put up their
work as if by magic and disappear.
'Do all the boys drop their tools
the instant the whistle blows?" ask
ed one of the visitors.
ffNo, not ALL" replied the fore
man. ''The more orderly have their
tools all put away before that time. +"

drinking. asked her to dance with
him. At first she refused, but
finally consented. She had only
taken a few steps when she ran
back to her husband, saying Fla
heFty had insulted her. He came
mp in q few minutes and asked
Watson what his wife told him
and reached for his pistol. Mrs.
Watson was standing with her
back to Flaherty, who. graphing
with his brother, Jas. Flaherty, fin
ally got his pistol, a 32-caIiber, from

ABUSE OF THE STOMACH.
Crime of overeatins and the Best Way
to Avoid Il.


to Avoid 1t.
The practice of consuming more
food than is required for the nutri-
ton of the body is very old one.
In order to correct it Hippocrates,
about 400 years before Christ, adj
yocated the omission of breakfast,
custom that has recently become
popular in many places.
The harmfulness of overeating is
not SO much in the increased burden
thrown upon the digestive organs as
in the production of an excessive
amount of poisonous matter which
may become dangerous to life if re-
tanned in the system. The poisons
are produced either by decomposi-
ton of the undigested food or
through defective Transformation
within the organs and tissues.
Most injurious are the products
of decomposing animal food-meat,
eggs and shellfsh-and since the
kidneys are engaged more than 9TH
er organs in the removal of this
class of poison, the first indications
of serious injury are often found in
them.
Before permanent organic disease
has been produced, however, there
are generally repeated evidences of
poisoning of the system in the form
of Indigestion, headache, vertigo,
neuralgia pains, rheumatism, govt
or an indefinite sense of illness.
Then the appetite fails, the sufferer
reduces the amount of food and OBJ
tains relief. There may b., how
ever, sudden alarming attack re-
sembling apoplexy and even more
fatal In its result.
When an improvement of the
health is recognizable after an acct
dental or experimental restriction
of the diet it should be taken as an
indication that the mode of living
has not been altogether correct. But
it is not always an easy matter to de-
eide upon the best means of correct
ing the error. A change of diet may
fail of the desired effect if it be too
abrupt or too radical, and privation
is not advisable in all cases. A GER
tain bulkiness of the food is neces-
sary both to comfort and to good
digestion, and in many cases an ex-
cess is only relative one. The
abandonment of certain articles of
food, with more complete mastica-
ton of others, is often better than
decrease of the entire quantity con-
sumed. Sometimes indeed the diff
Guilty can be overcome by the admin
istration of laxatives, increased con-
sumption of water and more active
exercise. These things enable the
system to utilize more fully the food
that is eaten.
To determine intelligently the
course of treatment in most cases
involves an investigation of the di-
gestive capability of the stomach
and an examination of the function
al integrity of other organs. 1t is
generally more expedient therefore
to submit the case to the physician
than to be governed by abstract
rules or the experiences of other
people.-Youth's Companion.

An Irishman has oftentimes such
particular regard for the feelings of
a stranger that rather than contra
dict him he will appear to acquiesce
in many things that he could not be
expected to believe. I said he will
appear to acquiesce. A tourist who
was sailing upon Loeb Erne once
wished to test the alleged character
Of 1rishmen for poiteness. Now,
there was regular squall on, and

was engrossed and had all his ener-
