The Indians have a tradition that
tells how the custom of painting their
faces originated. A certain big chief
while hunting deer was chased by a
lion and fell exhausted, calling upon
the Big Bear, which Indians believe
was the grandfather of man, to save
him. The Big Bear heard and went to
the mans assistance, scratching his
foot and sprinkling the blood over him.
No animal will eat bear or taste his
blood. and when the lion smelled 1t he
turned away. But in doing SO he
scratched some of the blood off the In
dams face with his claw by accident
When he found himself unhurt, the
Indian was 80 thankful that he let the
blood dry on his face. With the marks
Of the lions claws this gave the effect
Of stripes, and ever afterward when
going on hunting expeditions for man
or beast the Indian painted his face in
stripes as charm against danger.

Rare Editions SoreIy Vexed.
A certain young man of literary
tastes has two somewhat incongruous
yet almost equally expensive fads-a
fondness for dogs of illustrious pedi-
gree and love for first editions of
celebrated books, says the Youths Com
panion. One day he invited friend to
his house to see two of his latest ac-
quisitions. One Of them was an i'm
ported bull terrier and the other was
a rare copy of work by celebrated
Boston author. He exhibited the dog
first
isn't he a beauty" he exclaimed.
Hes the finest specimen of that breed
that was ever brought to this town and
1 got him for about half what he Is
worth. Yes, he's perfectly harmless
and as gentle as can be. Now, I'll
show YOU something in the book line
that you don't see every day. Cost
me good round sum Of money, too"
They went into the library and the
first thing that caught my eyes was the
mangled wreck Of his cherished volume
lying on the table. He summoned his
colored servant.
SAM" he said, wrathfully, what
has happened to this book? wouldn't
have had 1t ruined for hundred dol

EFFECT OF LONG GLOVES.
Supply of Kid skins Unequal to InS
creased Demand.

Consul c. 2. p. Mason, of Grenoble
furnishes an interesting review of the
business of that French district for the
calendar year 1906. The following
paragraphs are from the consul's re-
port:
'The total value Of merchandise ex-
ported to the United States through
Grenoble in the year ended Dec. 81.
1906, was So, ,13S, ,246, an increase of ST.
354, 900 over 1905. The principal arti-
cles of export to the United States were
kid gloves and walnuts. These two
aggregated $2,562,S72 last year. OF
kid gloves the value was $1,956,472
which is nearly equal to one-half of
the entire value of kid gloves import
ed from France during that year.
"The kid-glove industry, of which
Grenoble is the center, has been mark
ed by unwonted activity. For several
years prior to 1905 there had been a
gradual decline in the demand if not
in the use of ladies' kid gloves in the
United States This was largely due
to the growing outdoor use, especially
in the warmer season, of the so-called
fabric gloves" gloves made of lisle
thread, silk, etc., and which had been
greatly improved both in design and
finish. Fashion then decreed a shorter
sleeve to the woman's dress, both for
indoor and outdoor wear, and there

of the longkid glove. White was at first
the prevailing color, but later the pref
erence was given to black and what Is
known as the tan shade. Gloves in
treme lengths, have gone forward as
never before to the United States. This
demand has put an unwonted strain
upon the skin markets and not only
| countries have been ransacked to find
the coveted material. the more so be-
cause the longer gloves call for skins
of double length or two skins put to-
nary length. In consequence the prices
of kid and lamb skins have tended
steadily upward, until there has been
| almost panic In the skin market.
"This naturally has accrued to the
greater profit Of the skin merchants,
| skin gatherers and growers. The
larger manufacturers vino were fortu.
nate enough to have full stocks on
hand have also proited. 1t has been
| hardest on the smaller manufacturers,
who have been forced to buy their
skins at current rates to meet previous
contracts or lose their customers Re
tail prices Of gloves have necessarily
advanced, but not in proportion to the
rise in prices Of skins. These within
a year have doubled and even more
than doubled. And this condition of
things has only been intensified by the
use Of skins for other purposes than
gloves, and by the dearth of material
in the worlds leather market, push
ing the price Of all kinds of leather up
notch by otch."-United States Consu-

BROILING.

If the fire should be too hot, sprinkle
salt over it.
Birds and other things which need
to be halved should be broiled inside
first.
Always grease the gridiron well and
have it hot before the meat is placed
on it.
Never put your fork in the lean part
Of meat on the gridiron, as it allows
the juice to escape.
Fish should be buttered and sprin-
kled with flour, which will prevent the
skin from adhering to the gridiron.
RemembSz that a hot, clear fire is
necessary Tor broiling all small arti-
cles. They should be turned often to
be cooked evenly without being burned.
Cover the gridiron with a tin pan or
baking pan. The sooner the meat is
cooked without burning the better.
The pan holds the heat and often pre-
vents a stray line Of smoke from
touching the uieat.-Philadelph Ledg-

Exchange In Neckties.

A South Penn square business man
has evolved plan Of how to dodge
WHEY, but there Is merit attaching to
it in this case. His wife insists on
buying his neckties and dotes on laven-
der and red or green spots or pale
shimmering nile green shot with pur-
pie. Rather than cause her anguish by
seeming to decry her taste In cravats,
her husband most dece1tfully starts for
the office every morning wearing tie
Of her selection. Once in the Office,
however, the traitor quickly exchanges
the offending necktie for something
quieter which he keeps under careful
lock and key in his own private desk.
It would be interesting to find out his
wife's sensations should she pay him
a visit some day in Office hours or
should he forget to make the exchange
again before his trip home.-Philadel-

CALLING IN PARIS.
Tho Concierge Is Peculiar lnstitu-
ton Ia Several Ways.

ItOH IN SEVERAL ways
You leave your card at the door Of
the person to whom you desire to pre-
sent yourself, and there it is taken in
charge by that peculiarly French func-
tionary, the concierge, says Professor
Barrett Wendell in Scribner's. At
least in Paris, the greater part Of
French people live in large houses con-
tanning number of apartments with
common entrance and staircase.
Close to the entrance door, on the level
OF the street, are some stuffy little
rooms inhabited by the concierge, or
porter, with his family. Their duty,
among other things, is to keep strict
watch on whoever goes in or out, and
at least one of them, often the porter's
wife or half grown daughter, is always
at hand
The chief popularity Of their temper
ament seems to be Unsuitable appetite.
At whatever hour of day or evening
you call on concierge you are sure to
find somebody eating or just risen
from table, and the atmosphere inhab-
tied by this bustling parsonage seems
Immortality laden with the fumes OF
something recently boiled.
No matter whether you call on a
friend who lives in some unpretentfous
out Of the way place or on one who
inhabits something like palace, the
concierge is always about the same.
You can detect little difference be-
twoon those in oh roo Of M
doors and of insignificant. They are
as like as house flies. Of course there
are private houses in Paris, with regu-
lar domestic servants such as you
would find anywhere, but these, grand
or simple, are so unusual that you re-
member the concierge as everywhere
standing between you and further hui
man intercourse.
In response to your card, which the
concierge duly sees delivered, comes a
card, often with note, in return. IT.,
as is generally the case, this acknow2-
edgment of your existence contains an
intimation of when your French ac-
quaintance may be found at home, Ell
Their habitual or for your special bene-
fit, you make your second visit at this
appointed time and thus enter into real
personal relations
Otherwise, your intercourse has limit
ed itself to polite exchange of cards.
Generally speaking, you never expect
or attempt to see French people socially
except when they have asked you to
one Of their regular days of reception
or have made a definite appointment.
To call on person at any other time
to do more than leave your card with
the concierge-would be an intrusive
pretense to intimacy.

FACTS IN NATURE.

Nature. But Health 40 Well.

For people who are rundown and nerv-
ous. who suffer from indigestion or dYs-
nensia. headache, biliousness, or torpid
liver, coated tongue with bitter taste in
the morning and poor appetite, it be-
comes necessary to turn n, 20 some toMc or
and help them to get on their feet and
put the body into its proper condition. It
is becoming more and more apparent that
Nature's most valuable health giving
agents are to be found in forest plants
and roots.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. R.V. Pierce,
now consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
n. Y, discovered that by scientifically
extracting and com bining certain medici
nal principles from native roots, taken
from our American forests, he could pro-
duce a medicine which was maryelously
efficient in curing cases of blood disorder
and liver and stomach trouble as we'll as
many other chronic, or lingering ALL
ments. This concentrated extract of
Natures vitality he named vGolden Med
zeal Discovery" It purifes the blood by
putting the stomach and liver into
healthy condition, thereby helping the
digestion and assimilation of food which
feeds the blood. Thereby. it cures weak
iousness, and kindred arrangements.
If you have coated tongue, with bitter
or bad taste in the morning, frequent
headaches, feel weak, easily tired, stitches
or pain in side, back gives out easily and
aches, belching of gas, constipation, or
irregular bowels, feel flashes of heat al
ternating with chilly sensations or kin
dred symptoms, they point to derange-
ment Of your stomach, liver and kidneys,

will correct more speedily and perma-
nently than any other known agent. Con-
tains no alcohol or habit-forming drugs.

Oldest of British Shorts.

Hawking is the oldest of all British
sports. To the uninitiated the most
marvellous feature Of hawking is the
manner in which the hawks them
selves, naturally the widest and wari-
est of the feathered tribe, have been
trained to surrender voluntarily their
liberty and return literally like a bolt
from the blue in obedience to the will
of the falconer. This indeed seems
the more remarkable when one learns
that the best birds are those which

HOW WE ARE FORMED.
4 Few Of the Many, MarveIs Of the HUI
man Body.

On an average mans body there are
10000 hairs. Plucking one every Sec

hour working days to pull them all out
In his blood there are %, 900 coo, OOO, 900
red corpuscles. Laid out side by side
they would cover surface of 3,13O

The whole Of the blood passes through
a mans heart nearly twice in every

the entire body weight, and it moves
in different parts Of the body at speeds
varying from ten feet to 1866 yards
(nearly one mile) an hour.
The fat of your body is fluid. It be-
comes solid only when the body cools
after death. It is one Of your most
useful constituents, forming noncon-
Quoting sheath to protect you from
cold, acting as pads to preserve from
shock, on the tips Of the fingers, the
toes and the heels and lying always
ready as reserve food supply when
you can get nothing to eat.

The skin cannot grow again once
it is destroyed; hence the unsightly
scars left by burns and severe wounds.
Only the surface layer can renew
itself. When the whole thickness is de-
stroyed, it never reforms This is the
more curious as muscles, nerves, blood
vessels and bones, all less liable to in
jury than the skin, can grow again.
You are really water rather than
land animal. Although as a whole

LAWYERS IN ENGLAND.
The Difference Between the Barrister
and the Solicitor.

and the Solicitor.
The barrister in England is the very
salt Of the earth. He it is who makes
the laws, who goes into parliament,
who sits on the bench, who considers
himself seven or eight degrees higher
up in the social scale than any other
poor or middle class mortal, and with
all this he has absolutely no response
bility toward his clients. That ancient,
much abused thing called custom in
this country has created for the law
two separate and distinct limbs, which
may be compared in measure to the
life of the bee. One is the drone and
the other the queen. The drOne is the
solicitor, who sits in an Office working
up case, consulting clients, drawing
gills, controlling estate transactions and
controlling the incomes of people who
are unfortunate enough to be saddled
under the trust deeds. The solicitor,
who has his own tradition to work out,
does not ever get to himself any glory
whatever. Except in police and coun-
ty court cases, he is persona non grata,
or, in the words 81 the judges, she is
not SEEM If he has case on hand,
he is obliged to take it to barrister,
who, though he may never have heard
Of the matter in dispute before, dons
his wig and gown, proceeds into court
and argues till all is black and blue
as if he knew all about it, for which be
draws a most prodigious fee, quite big
enough to enable him to appear nicely
mounted in the row every morning
If he spoils the case, there is no chance
for redress, because the barrister is
merely a gentleman whom fiction po-
litely assumes to be friend in need
All the onus of failure falls upon the
poor solicitor. There are no barristers
in prison, but there are a good many
solicitors who wear the broad arrow
which is the trademark Of his majesty's
prisons. The solicitor remains the old
time family adviser, to whom all sorts
Of foolish people bring their trust
deeds, their stock certificates, their
government bonds and all such docu-
ments which have tendency to lead a
weak men into temptation, and that is
why so many solicitors, when they
need money, find it impossible to re-
sist the desire to take that which is
not theirs.-London Letter in Town and
