How to Cuss an Editor.

The number of obsolete words that
are to be found in a complete diction-
airy of the English language is con-
siderably larger than the people have
any idea of. The following letter,
written by an alleged poet to an edi-
tor who had treated his poetry with
ierision, furnishes some idea OF
them:
"Sir: You have behaved like an
impetiginous scrogle-like those who,
envious of any moral celsitude, carry
their unglicity to the height of Great
ing symposiacally the fecund words
which my polymathic genius uses
with liberty to abligate the tongues
of the w~eetless! Sir, you have crassly
parodied my own pet words, though
they were trangams!
81 will not c~oascervate reproaches.
I will oduce a veil over the atra.
mental ingratitude which has cham
fered even my indiscerptible heart. /
am silent on the focillation which
my coadtuvancy must have given
when I offered to become your
fantor and adminicle. 1 will not
speak of the l%ippitude, the oblepsy
you have shown in exacerbating me,
one whose genius you should have ap-
preached with mental discalceation.
So I tell you, without superVacaneous
words, nothing will render ignoscible
r1.,- o@~I,nS ~ mo
81 warn you that 1 would v~ellicate
your nose if I thought that any moral
diarthrosis thereby could be per,
formed-if I thought 1 should not i'm
pignorate my reputation. Go. tachy-
graphic scrogle, hand with your Grass,
inquinate fantors! Draw oblectations
from the thought if you can of having
systematically lost the existimation
Of the greatest poet since Milton"
And yet all these words are to be
found in the dictionary.-Tit-Bits.

also it can be relied upon to be cor
rect for the early autumn, which,
after all, is not so far off. The mar
row vest makes a special feature, and
the garment is altogether exceedingly
smart. In fact, it gives the effect of
exceptional lines, while it is so sim
pie that there is very little labor in
volved in its making, the characteris-
tic smartness being largely produced
by judicious use of trimming.
The Elton is made with fronts,
back and vest and wide sleeves that
are joined to it at the armholes. The
seams Of the sleeves, however, are
entirely concealed by the trimming
so that the effect is that Of being cut
in one with the garment, and there is
also a V-shaped portion applied on
the back.
The quantity Of material required
for the medium size is two and a
half yards twenty-one or twenty
seven or one and t~hree-eighth yards
forty-four inches wide with five and
a quarter yards of banding one and
three-Quarter inches wide, and eleven
yards of narrow braid TO trim as illus
trated.

Tragedy of Fish Life.

sFish never die a natural DEATH
said an old fisherman who has OBJ
served as he fshed. IF they did,
bodies Of dead fish would be floating
on the surface of the water all the
while, because such bodies, if unmo-
Tested, would have to float.
IF fish in their native element
were never molested I believe they
would never die. If they had suf-
fcient food, which would be impossi-
BILE if they no longer preyed on one
another, there would be no reason
for their dying. 1t was to prevent
such uninterrupted tenure Of life that
all fish were made fiercely predatory,
If not remorselessly cannibalistic, as
many kinds are.
"a fsh's life is a constantly siren
uous one and one entirely selfish. A
fish live5 only to eat and Ito avoid
being eaten. Los Angeles Times.

Scarfs, Long and Filmy.

They are greatly in vogue. In
deed. a scarf of some sort is consid-
cred quite an indispensable adjunct
of ones toilette. 1t may or may not
match the gown, but at least it must
harmonic with it. Gray. is just now
the most popular color, and fash
toned of gauze, crepe or any of the
very thin, lustrous silks with deep
bordered ends in gold or silver, or
nerhaps gold and silver in clever COM
bination, these scarfs are extremely
fetching. For wear with street cos
tunes the scarfs are generally of a
slightly drmer fabric or an Oriental
silk, n of the beautiful crepes or
chiffon. They are not tied but al
lowed to droop carelessly over the
shoulders.

Daily Life GlOrified,

Last Sunday morning in unnum-
bered churches throughout the land
stood a simple table and upon it
bread and wine. Men were partak-
ing of the Lords Supper. Christ had
touched commonplace things and
made them holy. Most memorials
are evidence Of striving after the IN
common as the worthy the tomb
upon the mountain-top, the obelisk,
the pyramid, the vast building or the
great institution. Not least of the
lesser lessons taught by that simple
meal is the worth of common things.
There IS no meal but may be made an
hour Of thanksgiving, no honest toll
that cannot become worship, NO
smallest deed to which highest mo-
tives may not add glory. The Lords
Supper gains its glory from its refer
ence to Christ; why not "do all to
the glory Of God?"-Pacifc Baptist.

A Ditch is a Stream,

Judge Clyde, of Charles City, Ia,
has handed down a decision which he
took under Amusement at the March
term in what is known as the Honey
field ditch case. Honeyfeld filled up
a ditch that went through his farm
and which had been in existence some
fifty years. Honeyfeld is compelled
to open the ditch within sixty days,
and is perpetually enjoined from fill
ing it in again. The ditch was put in
to drain some land on the other side
of H%oneyfeld's farm, a mile or so
north of the city. The decision is in
effect that a ditch when legally put in
stands and is the same as any other
stream of. water.-Country Gentle

FEET OUT.
She Had Curious Habits.

When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold.
est nights in winter because Of the
heat and prickly sensation, 1t is time
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off.
There Is no end to the nervous con-
ditions that coffee will produce. 1t
shows in n way in one person and
in another way in another. In this
case the lady lived in S. Oak. She
says:
'1 have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limbs out Of
the bed on the coolest nights, and felt
afraid to sleep for fear Of catching
cold. I had been troubled for years
with twitching and jerking of the
lower limbs, and for most Of the time
1 have been unable to 90 to church
or to lectures because Of that awful
feeling that I must keep on the move.
When 1t was brought to my atten-
ton that coffee caused 30 many nerv-
Gus diseases, I concluded to drop cof-
fee and take Postum Food Cofee to
see if my trouble was caused by cof-
fee drinking.
II only drank one cup Of coffee for
breakfast, but that was enough to do
the business for me. When l quit 1t
my troubles disappeared in an almost
miraculous way. Now ! have no
more of the jerking and twitching
and can sleep with any amount OF
bedding over me and sleep all night
in sound, peaceful rest.
Postum Food Coffee is absolutely
worth it's weight in gold to me-"

The Oniefness of Power.

One of the impressive things about
the greatest engines is the silence
with which they do their work. The
stars rushing through space with a
force we cannot even imagine, do so
in silence.
The same thing may be observed
in regard to the work which is done
in the world. The most powerful is
always very quiet. The great spirit
ual ministry Of the Christian Church
Is carried forward with very little
noise. Noise is not the same as work;
frenzy is not power. - Friendly

Brethren, in accordance with an

And I am going to give you the re-
suit of a weeks speculations.
Mind you, I don't insist that the
result is unbeatable. I hold it ten
tatively as the more credible of two

wrong, but I'm quite certainly not
entirely right. I may change my
mind when I've thought more about
it, and as for you-why, you're Who'll

so thick you can't throw a handful
of pebbles into the water without hit
ting as many gulls as there are peb-
bles, you may make up your mind
that it is going to rain within a few
hours. When the gulls turn tail and

fair weather till they come thick.

Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after. having my little girl
treated by a very prominent physician for
an obstinate case of eczema, l resorted to
the Cuticura Remedies, and was 80 well
pleased with the almost instantaneous re-
lief afforded that we discarded the physi-
Clans prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with
the Cuticara Remedies her feet and limbs
were covered with running sores. In about,
six weeks We had her completely well. and
there has been no recurrence OF the
trouble.
in July of this year a little boy in our
family poisoned his hands and arms with
poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his
hands and arms were a mass of tortIring
sores. We used only the Cuticura Rene
dies, and in about three weeks his hands
and arms healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent

The coronet braid, called a matte
In Paris, is now most esteemed for

much better buy her matte at the

The Tunic in Evidence.

The tunic, or, in provincial terms,
the overkirt, is in evidence in a good
many of the new costumes. One OF
it's latest phases is with a long point

back. This saves the figure from the
effect of being cut in two, which re-
suits from a round double skirt.

A smarter way of employing braid

bow cuffs, and quantity shaped
buckles or simulated clasps.
