lon1 Hair a Mark of Honor.

In olden times excessively long hail was considered a mark of honor and rank For many centuries long hair was in France the distinctive mark of kings. The ancient Persians and Par thians of high caste wore long, flowing hair, while the poorer classes were obliged to cut theirs short. Homer speaks of the long haired Greeks by way of distinction.
 The Gauls considered long hair q mark of honor, but Caesar oblige;, them to cut it off in token of submis- sion. Long hair was thought by the Franks to denote high birth, and tho Goths looked upon it as a distinctive mark of culture and honor. Short hair was considered by nearly all the old nations to denote thraldom, and even now criminals have their heads shaved, Denver Times.

Qualities of the Oyster.

A San Franciscan has discovered d new method of cutting short recitals that promise to become too long wind ed. An acquaintance of his who has local reputation as bore was one day holding forth at some length when the Californian interrupted him with:
 By the way, did ever tell you the story of the oyster?'
 On receiving negative reply he con tinued:
 Ut seems that when oysters are talk. en from the sea they often open their shells so that the juice or liquid runs out. As this is undesirable the expert enced oyster gatherer has tub of wa. ter close at hand into which the oyster Is plunged as soon as it begins to open its she'll"
 "Well, and what then?" asked the other as the narrator paused.
 The San Franciscan smiled.
 "Oh, after awhile the oyster learns to keep its mouth shut" he remarked quietly.

Different Names For Waves.

They have curiously different names for waves about the coast of Great Britain. The Peterhead folk call the large breakers that fall with crash on the beach by the grim name Of "Norrawa (Norway) carpenters" On the low Lincolnshire coast as on the southwestern Atlantic fronting shore of these islands. the grandly long un- broken waves are known as "rollers." Among east Anglians a heavy surf. tumbling in with an offshore wind or in calm, is called by the expressive name of a "slog," while a we'll marked swell, rolling in independently of any blowing, is called "home." "There is no wind," a Suffolk fisherman will say. "but nasty home on the beach, Sui folk men also speak of the 'bark" oi the surf, and a sea covered with foao! is spoken of as feather white." The foam itself is known as "spoon drift" So, in the vernacular, we have it, ".Ihe sea was all feather white with spoon drift"

Hammers.

Hammers are represented on the monuments of Egypt twenty centuries before our era They greatly resembled the hammer now in use, save that there were no claws on the back for the ex- traction of nails The first hammer was undoubtedly stone held in the hand. Claw hammers were invented some time during the middle ages. H. luminated manuscripts of the eleventh century represent carpenters with claw hammers. Hammers are of all sizes, from the dainty instruments used by the jeweler, which weigh less thaI half an ounce, to the gigantic fifty ton ham, mer of shipbuilding establishments, some of which weigh as much as fifty tons and have falling force of from ninety to a hundred.

A PHYSICIANS DIAGNOSES OF
 KIDNEY TROUBLE.
A Seemingly Common Disease which Becomes Fatal through Neglect and which May Be Readily Cured by Prompt At- tention.

More than two-thirds of the annual death rate, physicians claim, is directly traceable to kidney disorders.
 Interested by this remarkable asser- ton and desiring to acquire a better un- derstanding of the origin of the disease. prominent physician was recently in- terviewed as to the symptoms of such troubles.
 "To what do you attribute the great destructiveness of kidney disease?" was asked.
 "The hold which the disease gains in the body before the victim becomes aware of his true condition, and the rapidity with which it eats its way into the vital organs"
 "Would not the proverbia1 'ounce Of prevention check the progress of the disease?"
 "There is no doubt of it. The trouble is that victims of this disease mistake the symptoms for some trifing ailment in the stomach or bowels; therefore they do nothing to arrest the course of the disease until it is we'll advanced."
 "What is the origin of kidneytrouble?"
 "Almost invariably bad digestion, fol- lowed by torpid liver and a constipated habit.'
 "What are the symptoms?'
 "Headache, dizzy spells, sluggish brain, restless nights, pale or sallow skin, bad breath, lack of appetite, heart burn, sour be1ching, backache or tender ness over the kidneys, nervous weak ness, dark rings around the eyes, tired feeling, too much or too little urine, and sediment in urine."
 ITS EFFECT ON THE HEART.
 "In what way is the heart affected from kidney trouble?"
 "In all cases the heart is disturbed, though i'll many instances the pa1pita- tion does not become alarming until the disease has advanced to a serious point A severe heart throbbing and nervous trembling is noticeable, especially after little bodily exercise; the victim ire quently inagines he has heart disease"
 HOW TO CURE IT. "What is the proper course of treat nent for kidney disease?"
 "First, to get rid of uric acid and other poisons in the system. This can be done by stimulating the bladder and bowels so that they will act more freely. The suffering kidneys must be strengthened, the liver and stomach toned up and the digestion improved" Prick1y Ash Bitters is remedy that answers these requirements completely. It is not only system tonic and regu. lator, but its healing and restorative in- Auence will build up the weakened kid- neys and urge them to better perform ance of their duties. It gives strength and tone to the liver, stomach and heart and promotes harmony of action through out the body.
 M. W. Burr, village blacksmith and respected citizen of Starks, La., says: II was troubled with kidney and liver disorder for IS years. was in continual misery until began taking Prickly Ash Bitters which has entirely cured me, and I am now strong, healthy and hearty man. I give it to my wife and four children and they in the best of health, too. Ifeelthat Prickly Ash Bitters is the best remedy on earth and that everybody should keep bottle at home"

utes later she chanced to return to
the bed room and found the house cat
crouched on the baby's breast, with
its nostrils pressed close to the little
ones mouth.
The animal emitted a snarl as Mrs.
