NOT DOOMED TO sEcLusloN.
Austrian Nuns of Noble Blood Lead
Pleasant Lives.

The first lady in the Austro-Hun-
garian court is now the abbess of the
Theresian Convent of the Noble La
dies in Prague, a position which is
always held by an archduchess. The
Archduchess Maria Annunciata, the
present abbess, who is a niece of the
emperor has succeeded to the position
OF first lady through the widowhood
OF the Archduchess Maria Josefa, wife
of the late Archduke Otto. The noble
nuns of Prague live very different
life from what is the usual conception
of convent life. They play leading
part in the society of the city and are
not even compelled to live in the alb
hey, where each is provided with two
rooms and service. Handsome car
riages with liveried servants are also
provided for their use, and they have
a box in the opera. Each noble lady
is paid $500 a year, while the abbess
has a salary of $4,000. When they
attend court balls they must wear
black evening dress with a ribbon Of
light blue.

SAVES HER VISITING CARDS.
One Woman's Pet Economy Certainly

Women are proverbially niggardly
on one or two points; every woman
that ever existed had some pet econo-

may be in some respects. There's
the woman who spends hundreds of
dollars on imported gowns, but hates
to give up one penny for paper Of
pins The paper-saTing person who
drops into department stores and ho-
tells to borrow stationery rather than
spend any money upon the commodity
always is with us; we all know the
stamp s-ealer and the match borrow
er; but the visiting-card economizer
is new brand of woman who exists
only in the most exclusive society.
So niggard1y is she on the point of
her visiting cards that she demands
them back from her intimate friends;
from her mere acquaintances she
steals them at an opportune moment
when the servants back is turned, or
when the mistress has left the room.
She puts them slyly back into her
card case By clever series OF ma
nipulations it is said she can make

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When person gets up in the morn
ing with a dull headache and tired,
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over a century
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.
Brandfeth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes OF
Various Formations.

At a recent convention of German
naturalists and doctors DR.. Watcher,
of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper
put forth a sensational theory to ex-
plain the formation of the shape of
the head of infants. He maintained
that the head of a child could be
nodded artificially. He found by ex-
perience that when a medium-shaped
head is placed in a soft cushion the
child turns on its back, or rests on the
back of its head, in order to free
mouth, nose and face. In this manner
the head rests smoothly, and short
head is developed. But if the medium
shaped head of child is placed on a
hard under-rest, like a hair mattress
or rolled carpet, the child's head
turns aside, as it cannot stand any
more on it's head than an egg, for the
muscle of the back is weakened.
Therefore, with continued resting on
the side long head is developed. To
prove his assertions the lecturer pre-
scented child whose mother and sis
ter are short-headed- The child at its
birth had a short head, now after If
months tits long skulled. If the child
had been placed on its back, according
to other experiences its head would
have been short-shaped. DR.. Watcher
did not deny that the shape of the
head was inherited, but asserted that
it could be greatly Influenced by the
way the child rested.

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
fered 10 Years Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

when 1 was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. 1 scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became SO sore that
/ could scarcely walk. When 1 had
been suffering for about a month
the sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward 1 was troubled by such severe
itching that, until I became accus-
toned to it, would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for a few
days, but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom-
pany them. After I suffered about
ten years 1 made a renewed effort to
effect a cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part of
my body except my face and hands.
The best doctors in my native coun-
ty advised me to use arsenic in small
doses and a salve. I then used to
battle the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In ad-
dition I used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, IS
Salve, - Ointment, and in fact
was continually giving some remedy
a fair trial, never using less than
one or two boxes or bottles. All
this was fruitless. Finally my hair
began to fall out and I was rapidly
becoming bald. I used IS
but it did no good. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, I thought I would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticura Soap and being pleased with
it. After using three boxes 1 was
completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen years of suf-
fering and an expenditure of at least
$50 or $50 in vainly endeavoring to
find a cure / shall be glad to write
to any one who may be interested in
my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Yer

Hints for the Pine Lover.

The Canadian Cigar and Tobacco
Journal gives some hints to those
who smoke pipes. Everybody thinks
he knows how to smoke pipe, but to
do it perfectly is not easy. Thine is a
keynote of successful pipe smoking"
says the Journal, land another is gen.
tleness. Take it easy. Don't crowd
the pipe to the top of the bowl. Never
get pipe hot. Keep cool, and keep
your pipe cool. You can relight pipe,
and if you are an old smoker you will
be all the better for it. When you
have finished do not refill a heated
pipe"

The Prison Is Profitable.

The 18th biennial report of the d.
rectors, warden and other officers of
the state penitentiary has been issued.
1t shows that the penitentiary is more
than self-sustaining- The earnings
for the two years covered by the re-
port were $67,491.39 in excess of ex-
penditures. The board of directors,
Captain John Seaton, T B. Ballinger
and w. I. Biddle, tell in their report
of new improvements in the twins
plant which have enhanced its value
and will increase the output 20 per-
cent. The board recommends an in
crease of SO a month in the salary
of the guards and says that the in
crease in the cost of living since the
last report and the long hours and
close confinement of the guards make
it urgent that the raise be granted.
W. H. Haskell, the warden, also urges
the increase in wages in his report
