tract.

Used Him as Eraser.

The late DR.. Henry Martyr Field
some years ago related at Williams
alumni dinner a rather amusing incl
dent of his freshman days at college
Being only IL years old when he
entered he had not reached the point
where the natural friction between the
big boy and the small boy ceases and
he was at particular feud with one OF
his fellows, a stalwart country youth
fresh from the farm. One day young
Field went early to the classroom and
put upon the big blackboard a very
exasperating caricature of his en-.
envy, with his name beneath. When
the aggrieved party saw what had
been done he said not a word, but
catching up his youthful tormentor, he
used him as an eraser and after rub
hing out the offensive picture quietly
took his seat

A Woman on Women.

For selfshness and reconsideration,
commend me to a woman travelling,
says the Saturday Evening Post She
will deliberately occupy two seats in
street car; see other women stand,
laden with bundles, without Offering to
move up, and otherwise try to prove
to everybody with eyes in their
heads that they, these women, have
no manners at all.
Yet, if you called at the houses of
such women, have no doubt in the
world that you would be courteously
received; their best would be at your
disposal, and you would otherwise dis
cover that they had some claim to the
title of ladies-but never from their
manners in public.
And, far from displaying good man
ners themselves, many women are in
capable of approaching good manners
in others. If well-bred woman does
move up to make room for a standing
woman, how often is the first woman
thanked? Sometimes not even a bow
or glance is given!
Ask men how often they are thanked
(once in 20 times) for giving their
seats in car to women.

Tools Cheap at Junk Shops.

In every large city VIII be found
places where secondhand or junk
tools are sold. Tools of all descrip-
lions, adapted to every branch of
mechanics, can be bought at prices
ranging from one cent up.
A good-sized paint brush brings two
cents, a carpenters hammer i've
cents, a pick or shovel 25 cents, rip
saw ten cents, and so on. According
to Popular Mechanics, the average
price is less than one-tenth what the
new article would cost at a hardware
store, and the tool is often just as USE
full as a new one.
Some of the stuff IN the motley col.
lection comes from unredeemed
pawns. some from junk dealers and
good deal from parties of whom nc
questions are asked.
Frequently quite valuable tools ans
instruments can be had for a mere
song, as most customers want the
tools of ordinary use requiring less
skill to handle.

Of Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be
healthy and strong, but great many
women, unfortunately, are not, owing
to the unnatural condition Of the lives
we lead. Headache, backache and a
general tired condition are prevalent
amongst the women of to-day, and to
relieve these conditions women rush
to the druggists for a bottle of some
preparation supposed to be particular
ly for them, and containing-nobody
knows what. If they would just get
box of Brandreth's Pills, and take
them regularly every night for time,
all their trouble would disappear, as
these pills regulate the organs of the
feminine system. The same dose al
ways has the same effect, no matter
how long they are used.
Brandreth's pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or Sugar-coated.
