decades Of popularity. are numbered by
the hundreds of thousands. They have

A good, honest. square deal medicine of
known composition is DIR. PierCe's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an I'M
menSe sale, while most of the prepara-
tiOns that have come into prominence in
the earlier period of its popularity have
gone by the board and are never more
heard Of There must he some reason for
this long time popularity and that is to
be- found in its superior merits. When
once given Il fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections. its Supe-
rior curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence IT has survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores of less mcritoriOus
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.

The Presidents Bear.


OF those who have greatness thrust
upon them was the She-bear slain by
Mr.. Roosevelt in the canebrakeS near
Bear Lake, La, on Thursday after
noon. OF domestic, not to say re-
firing, disposition, she shrank from
publicity. Home duties claimed her
full attention, and she would gladly
have avoided the spotlights that beat
with pitilcss glare upon the centre of
the stage.
But it was not to be- Ruthlcssly
the mighty hunter invaded her pri-
vacy. and now the press of half the
world is descanting upon her modesty
and her valor in defense of her vio-
lated home. Even such intimate de-
tails rs her complexion, her apparent
age-for woman-like she guarded
that secret to the last and took it
with her to the grave-are bruited
abroad for the dclcctation Of eager
curiosity.
As for President Roosevelt, con-
gratulations are his. May he be no
less successful in cunning for the
bears in high finance who have stolen

LOST OPPORTUNITIES.

No Indians out west to fight,
No scouting To- he done.
No pc>ky redskins To lie low
And have Il lot of fun.
No chance to follow up the trail
And scrap 4 brave or two.
No place to take the warpath now,
What is = boy to do?
Not very many years ago
y fellow had n chance
To take a hand with Buffalo Bill
And on the camp advance.
Or he could hide behind bush.
Lie low and mind his eye,
And with his rifle pick them Off
AS they went riding by.
Those were the days a boy could be
A hero bold and grand,
And snatch the pretty heroine
From some marauding band
And when the cruel war was DER,
With honor for his side,
He'd take her To his humble home
And she would be his bride.
There ism any show for BOYS
Like once there used To be;
1t hardly pays them any more
When they run of to sea.
Why can I the Indians break out
And round the war pole dance
Or raid the settlements again
And give 4 boy chance?

Dress Made OF Postage Stamps.

At Il ball in Bermuda a wonderful
dress was worn, in the making of
which over 30, 900 stamps were used.
Years were spent in collecting the
stamps, and three weeks in the max
ing the dress which was of the finest
muslin. The lady called upon her
friends to help her, and the dress was
covered with the stamps of all ma
tions. They were not put on any
how, but in an elaborate design.
On the front of the bodice was an
eagle made entirely of brown Colum-
bian stamps. Suspended from the
birds talOns was Il globe made of
very old blue revenue stamps. On
each side of the globe was an Ameri-
can flag, having stripes of red and
blue stamps. On the back of the
bodice was collection of foreign
stamps in the form of Il shield, in the
center of which was portrait of Sir
George Summers, cut from old rcve-
nue. stamps.
A picture hat covered with red and
blue stamps was worn with this re-
markable dress.

Don't indulge in personalities.
They invariably return worse than

Don talk of the cost of things; it
gives the rich 4 chance for boastful-
ness and may be embarrassing to the
poor.
Don't tell your personal interests
occupations, hopes or aspirations.
Nobody wants to hear them, and you
give your dignity 4 mortal stab.
Don t discuss diseases or surgical
operations. Without Il natural path
Ological taste or q trained nurses ex-
perience, it is apt to disgust people.
Don t discuss children; if you have

LITTLE THINGS.

\ good-bye kiss is a little thing,
With your hand on the door to go,
But it takes the venom out OF the sting
OF Il thoughtless word or cruel fling
That you made an hour ago.
y kiss of greeting is sweet and rare,
After the toll OF the day.
But it smoothes the burrows out of the
care,
And lines on the forehead you once
called fair,
In the years that have flown away.
'Tis little thingto say, "Iou are kind
love you, my dear" each night;
But it sends a thrill through the heart,
find,
For love is tender, as love is blind,
AS we climb life's rugged height.
We starve each other for loves carress
We take but do not give;
ii seems so easy some soul to bless,
But We dole love grudgingly, less and
less,
Till It's bitter and hard to live.

FACTS ABOUT JAPAN.
Some Things Not Generally Known About
This Assertive Race Of Mdeets

lhiS ASSertIve Race of MIdeetS.
While Russia is about twice the
size of the United States, Japan is
only about the size of the States of
Missouri and Kansas combined. 1t
is smaller than Texas Alaska would
make three countries of the size of it.
California and Japan are about equal
in size In fact, there are no two
political divisions of the earth any
where which are So nearly alike in
extent as California and Japan. Mis-
souri, and Kansas together have Il
population of 1900, 900; Japan has a
population of over 10000, 900, and
this, too, without counting the ia
panese population that has settled in
Korea, in the island of Formosa and
the country adjacent. The idea pre-
walls that Japan is FlOwery King
dom and that it is the garden spot OF
the world. That it has flowers in
profusion is q fact, but only one acre
out of eight is fit for cultivation.
The country is too mountainous and
the soil too rocky to permit of being
an agricultural country.
The people of the Western States
upon their first view of Japan would
never be led to believe that the cOun-
try was fit for agriculture. However,
no portion of the soil is neglected.
Every foot of ground is made to yield
every iota of substance that it is pos
sible to extract from it. Were this
not strictly adhered to, the majority
of the people would starve, if de-
pendence were not placed on outside
sources. The average farm is about
the size of the ordinary town lot in
America. The greatest food prOduc-
tion of the country is fish. 1t is thus
that a country SO small, compare
lively, with a population so great, is
compelled to seek new areas of eX-
pansion upon which to cast its ever
Increasing population. The posses
sion of Korea. right at it side, in 4
large measure affords the relief de-
sired. In fact, for long periods In
the past Japan has depended upon
Korea for subsistence. Its food sup
plies came largely from the soil of its
nearby neighbOr. In consequence of
this state of affairs the possession of
Korea is vitality necessary to the ex-
iStence of Japan.

CONGREGATION Saw the Joke.

Former President Patton of Prince
ton University recently delivered a
sermon at Fifth Avenue Collegiate
church on the subject of Faith.
He spoke of the blind faith of the
client who puts himself at the mercy
of a lawyer in preparing an action
for trial, and of the confidence of the
sick in intrusting themselves to the
physician.
A case of blind faith, said the
clergyman. The doctor writes out
a prescription. Oftener than not you
cannot read it and you don't know
what it is. He tells you to take it.
Yours is not to reason why; yours
but to do and die. "
Whether or not DR.. Patton meant
it there was q distinct ripple through
out the congregation.

How Nutmees Are Cured.

a writer who has explored New
Guinea describes the nutmeg region.
Upon Il fine piece of table land he
came upon three houses erected in
the very heart of the forest. These
were used by the natives for drying
nutmegs. The country was every
where magnificent and the aroma of
the spice laden air delicious. Nut
meg and other equally valuable trees
were everywhere growing in great
profuSion. The fruit of the nutmeg
in appearance resembles Il pear, and
when ripe it opens and displays the
nut covered with beautiful red coat
ing of mace. The nuts are then
picked and taken to the houses,
where they are husked and placed on
shelves. They are then partially
roasted over slow fire, until all of
the moisture is extracted. after which
they are cooled and sent to market.

Men and Women.

When a woman becomes flurried
she feels for a fan. When a man be-
comes fiurried he feels for q cigar.
Women jump to conclusions and
generally hit them. Men reason
things out logically and generally
miss them.
Some women can't pass q millinery
store without looking in. Some men
can't pass a saloon without going in.
Women love alteration, approba-
ton, self-immolation on the part OF
others. SO do the men.
A woman always carries her purse
in her hands SO that other women
will see it. A man carries his in his
inside pockets. SO that his wife won t
see if,

For the Sick-Room

One of the most convenient articles
to be used in a sick room is Il sand
bag, Get some clean, fine sand. dry
it thoroughly in a kettle on the stove.
Make Il bag about eight inches square,
of flannel, fill it with dry sand, sew
the opening carefully together, and
cover the bag with Gotten or linen.
This will prevent the sand from sift-
ing out, and will also enable you to
heat the bag quickly by placing it in
the oven or even ON the top of the
stove. After once using this you
will never attempt to warm the feet
or hands of "a sick person with a bottle
of hot water or a brick.

To Chew or Not to Chew.

Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist
and pure food expert of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, has startled
scientific Washington by announcing
that it is 4 mistake to chew food.
In discussing the results of the ex-
perimentS of a Yale professor, DR..
Wiley made the startling statement
that to chew meat makes it indiges-
tible.
Flesh eating animals never chew
their food" he said They bolt it.
Man by chewing his meat makes it
indigestible. The saliva mixed with
the meat forms an alkaline. Before
the meat can be digested that aka
line must be neutralized.
Eat plenty of good wholesome food.
Sleep the sleep of innOcence-that is
eight hours of peaceful, restful sleep
in every twenty-four hours.
Take plenty of exercise. Do not
make it too violent.
Don't be afraid of fight. Fight
with all your energy when fighting,
but the moment the fight is over,
forget it. The man who carries envy
and hatred to his bed is bound to die
young.
This is the formula for the century
life time laid down by Dr. Wiley.

in alcohol, then mix over the fire in
warm water, and stir until it is of a
proper glue consistency.
For China. rice powder to a
paste with water, and boil one min
ute.
A Glue which Remains Liquid
Dissolve ordinary glue in whisky in
stead of water. 1t will always be
liquid and ready for use.
All the hints given here, if acted
upon as the emergencies arise. will
save many penny-and many a dol
lar-to say nothing of much worry
for the housewife who loves her home
and its contents, and who knows that

Remove smoke stains from ivory

Boil six peach kernels in a quart

Sift tablespoonful of flour with
the corn meal used for mush. 1t will
prevent the mush sticking.
A few drops of alcohol rubbed on
the inside of chimneys will remove
all trace of greasy smoke when water
alone is of no avail.
The blemish may be removed from

osene oil for a while. The oil loosens
the rust SO that it may easily be
scraped off.
To avoid breakages when washing
glass, fold a towel several times and
place it in the bottom of the bowl
used for washing up. This prevents
thin glass from breaking and chip

A Simple Way to Test Flour.


Every housewife knows that some
flour will make good bread, while
other flour will not. If you want to
find out for yourself whether it is a
good bread flour, test it in the follow
ing way:
In the first place, see that it is
white, with Il faint yellow tinge
Then take some of it up in your
hand and press it. 1t will fall apart
loosely. not in Jumps. Rub some of
it between your fingers. 1t will not
feel entirely smooth and powdery,
but you will be able family to distin-
guish the different particles. Put a
little of it between your teeth and
chew it. 1t will crunch, little and
the taste will be sweet and nutty.
without any acidity. That is, if it is
a good bread flour it will do all these
things.
The above is q simple test that
is given in Farmers Bulletin No.
III, issued by the Agricultural De-
partment, Washington, ID. c. 1t is
worth remembering.

equally in style In the illustration
the material is tussore silk with
trimming of banding while the trim
ming straps and pleats are stitched
with belding silk. The model is APP
propriate for all suitings, however,
and also makes very charming
little separate wrap, which at this
season is appropriate in pongee or
in taffeta. A little later the same
Elton will be charming for the suit
ings of slightly heavier weight, as it
includes all the latest features. The
tie ends of soft silk are smart and
pretty, but are not obligatory and
can be used or not as liked.
i; The jacket is made with fronts
and back which are cut in sections
and joined beneath the tucks and the
trimming bands. These trimming
bands are applied to give box pleat-
ed effect and terminate in points at
back and front. There is a fiat, odd
ly shaped collar that finishes the neck
and there are the two sets of sleeves,
the ones of elbow length that are
finished with box pleats at their
lower edges, and the additional XII
