Bee stinos and rheumatism.

Bee sting is said to be good for
rheumatism, but that is not the bees
intention in administering 1t. The
bee has other problems than those
connected with the curative art. His
intention is to lift his nan out of po-
sition and he does it-unless the lat
ter is intoxicated. If the man has
rheumatism, no matter. The bee
mov him at once by eliminating
acid from the blood and arousing the
gamiest leg from the lethargy of ages.
Il is well before annoying the bee to
got your rhumatism established, be-
cause one sting will lap over a good
deal of rheumatism, and if you have
an insufficient supply of the latter to
neutralize it the bee in his earnest
ness is prone to overdo his part.

orlqin of "PIaalarlst."

Though everybody knows the mean
ing OF the words plagiarist and plag-
iarism, few are acquainted with their
derivation. Among the more depraved
classes of ancient Rome there existed
a nefarious custom of stealing chill
dren and selling them as slaves. Ae-
cording to law, the child-stealers,
when detected, were liable to the pen
atty of being severely iogged; and as
the Latin word "plega" signifies a
stripe or lash, the ancient kidnapers
were, in Cicero's time, termed 'plagi-
ari'-that is, deserving of, or liable to
stripes. Thus both the crime and the
criminals received their names from
the punishment inflicted.

Ideals Of Family Life.

DR.. Alcott opposed the keeping of
a servant because, al he said, a
servant destroys the domesticity of
family life. DR.. Alcott further told
the young wife that she must pre-
pare" appetizing dishes for her hus-
band; must see that his house was
kept neat and clean; that the children
we're properly and nicely dressed,
and that the wife and children should
all be ready in the parlor to welcome
with smiling faces the man of the
house when he came home in the
afternoon. Emerson said that DR..
Alcott was the greatest intellect since
Plato. Emerson gave DR.. Alcott a
letter to Carlyle, and wives of the
present day will probably applaud
Thomas to the skies for saying to
Jane; Never let that old cabbage
in here again"

Power Of the Preas for Good.

No man who will consider the mat
ter with an open mind will refuse to
confess that this is the most potent
sgency in the world for the promotion
of righteousness. The pulpit, with all
it's power, is necessarily less effective
than the honest newspaper. The great
men who won freedom for us and for
our children and who laid the strong
foundations of u government saw
clearly when they persuaded them
selves tnat the untrammeled press is
the mightiest engine both of virtue
and of Observation-Disclosures Narth

Sermon stealers," said a minister,

read over several times the sermons
that they steal before delivering
them.

WANTS THE CORRECT PHRAslNe
Man Is Puzzled over the Right Way
to Ask for Liver.

81 WISH" said the chronic fault
finder, that butchers would hit upon
some uniform rule for writing out
their notices of calf's liver. The pres
ent diversity of styles is embarrass-
ing, and apparently %convicts a fellow
of grammatical error every time he
buys a pound of liver. Some shops
say they have calls liver for sale,
others make a specially of calves
liver while still others with a finer
regard for singular and plural num-
bers call attention to their excellent
calves livers.' One butcher in Co.
lumbus avenue goes so far as to ad.
vertise calls livers,' but unless that
sign is misleading the animals he
handles must be freaks, therefore
they need not be considered. What
1 want to know is, What is the gram
NAUTICAL rule in regard to this table

one calf can supply should plural

To Make an Essnoe.

When you get on your back, stom-
ach gone, ambition dead, the best
food is an eggnog. I'll tell you how
to make it. Separate the yolk from
the white of an egg. Beat the white
till 1t stands up like Gibraltar. Then
beat the yolk, add half a teaspoonful
of sugar and a glassful of milk. Pour
in half an ounce of whisky and stir.
On top put the white, and, If you like,
CRATE a little nutmeg. Ambrosia!
Nectar Of the godsl If you want a
change from day to day substitute
for the whisky some good port,
sherry, tokay, or any first class wine.

Wore out His Elnaer.

There is a brakeman on the Colo

lost his index finger on his right hand.
One day recently a lady passenger
who had been much interested in the
wonderful works of nature the brake
mar had pointed out to her along the
road, noticed the stub finger. When
the conductor came through the car
she said to him:
Excuse me, sir, but can you. tell me
how the brakeman lost his %forehnger?

world's Cotton Consumption.

The consumption of cotton from
1893 to 1898 averaged only 100000
bales annually in the whole world, but
from 1898 to 1903 the average was TO-
6s4,146 bales annually, and the aver
g price was three cents per pound
greater than for the previous period.
If the consumption increases at the
same ratio during the next five year
period the average will be nearly 49,
600, 900 bales annually, and the prices
will be much higher than In the pre-
vious period. This indicates a pros
porous future for the cotton producer
and manufacturer. as well as for the
export trade.

Preach from Automobiles.

A novel method of preaching the
gospel was recently tried in France
with striking success. Pastor Delat-
tire from Roame (Reformed church,,
in company with Pastor Sainton, of
the Baptist church, in Paris, visited
with an automobile the departments
of Loire, Rhone, Alter, Saone ct Loire,
within a radius of about 80 miles.
Pastor Delattre writes: During near
ly two months, from our automobile,
we have been able to preach the
gospel on market places, from fair to
fair, distributing thousands of tracts
and selling no less than 1900 copies
of the New Testament"

Protection from Bee sunqs.

A %beekeeper in New Hampshire
was showing a city man his apiary.
The hives were arranged in line on
the side of a mountain, and the air
was sweet with the smell of clover,
pine trees, carnations. A bee lit on
the keepers hand angrily, and the
man held his breath. .
Bees can't sting you, If you hold
your breath" he said afterward. ITO
hold the breath closes the pores of
the skin. or something like that. At
any rate, if a bee goes for you, hold
your breath, and I'll guarantee you
won't be stung, although the bee jab
its sting at you till the thing breaks.

The University of Notre Dame, Il ap-
pears, has some eatures that can not be
duplicated in n other school,. 1t is one
OF the old, w~ell-established colleges, with
settled traditions reaching back siXty-four
years, with a distinguished staff of pro-
fessors and excellent library and labora-
tory equipment. Its discipline is of the
paternal kind-strong without being OPP
pressive; and as it embraces in it's scope
the grammar school. high school and col
lege work, its appeal is as broad as it is
potent. Perhaps the most remarkable
feature of the famous Indiana University,
however, is the fact that it has arrived at
its present marvellous development abso-
lutely without endowment. An announce
ment of the courses provided at Notre
