DOCTORS MISTAKES

Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
new disease, another from nervous pros
tration, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
be, assuming them to be such, prescribes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant Of the
cause Of suffering, keeps up his treatment
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, by reason of the
wrong treatment, but probably worse. A
proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, directed to the cause would
have entirely removed the disease, there
by dispelling all those distressing symp-
toms, and instituting comfort instead OF
prolonged misery. Il has been well said,
that "a disease known is half cured"

Minutes of the First Representative

The minutes of the first representa-

by its clerk, John Irvine, constitute q
quaint and interesting document They
are headed:
"A reporte of the,manner of proceed

at James City, In Virginia, July 30,
1910, consisting Of the governor, the
COUNSEL of estate and two burgesses
elected out of cache incorporation and
plantation, and being dissolved the 9TH
OF August next ensuing"
The assembly met in the "quire of
the churche." Then, ''forasmuche as
mems affaires doe little prosper where
Gods service Is neglected, all the bur
gesses took their places in the quire
till a prayer was said by Mr.. Buckle,
the minister, that;it would please God
to guide and sanctif1e all our proceed

this plantation"
After the prayer the burgesses were
summoned one by one to take the oath
to the king, none staggering at II"
The assembly at once set 10 work to
adopt English laws to Virginian condi-

The Old Time staaecoaeh.

In 1862 there were, strange as it
seems, only six stagecoaches running
in all England, and of course these
were the only public vehicles for trav-
elers. Even these were a novelty, and
a person named John Crosset thought
they were such dangerous innovation
that he wrote a pamphlet against them.
"These coachees," he wrote, make
gentlemen come TO London upon every
small occasion, which otherwise they
would not do except upon urgent ne
cessity. Nay, the conveniency of the
passage makes their wives come often
ND. who rather than come such long
Journeys on horseback would stay at

The files of old newspapers are a
priceless record of the history and
manners of their times. In the papers
of 1896 the accounts of public rejoicings
show that these were few in, number
and that the method of keeping them
differed widely from our ideas of fes-
tivities. Washington's birthday was
perhaps the greatest holiday.

appropriated the hour of noon for the
congratulations of the day. Each fam
ily enriched the domestic meal with
bountiful provisions. and gay spirits
and temperate and undissembled JOY
pervaded all classes"
There were speeches and professions
and illuninations for the less indus
trious who were willing to give some
thing more than the hour of noon to
the celebration. but the most memora-
Bile observance of the day was that of
the Harvard students.
Saying to each other that it would
be dsgraceful to pretend to honor
Washington with riot and disorder
they retired to their chambers before 9
o'clock, and by the time the bells
ceased ringing there was not light to
be seen in any of the buildings"
This is equaled by the summing up
Of the celebrations of Fourth Of July

great rejoicings. No accidents are re-
ported, and the editor concludes, 'In

The Letter a.

The letter G furnishes us a curious
bit Of orientalism. It's Hebrew name
is gimel, camel, from the resemblance
of the Hebrew character to the head
and neck of that animal. The char
acter was thus almost certainly de-
rived from picture of that animal
which, reduced to hieroglyphic and
then simplified, still distantly indicates
the shape of the head and neck of the
beast of burden familiar to every
dweller in eastern lands.

WooING SLEEP.
4 Prescription That Worked Well In
PhiIadeInhia

a Prescription That Worked Well In
Philadelphia.
A haggard looking man strolled into
a downtown drug store the other day
and asked the druggist for help He
said he had trouble In getting to sleep
when he retired No matter how
sleepy he might be during the day or
how much sleep he might have lost
the moment his head touched the pill
low he was wide awake and lay thus
Tor several hours. Once asleep he was
very hard to waken, but he had to be
up at a certain hour, and in conse-
quence of his peculiar affection he was
losing more sleep than he could stand.
The drug clerk regarded him quiz
zically a few moments and then re-
piled:
"My dear man, you don't want medi-
cine. What you want Is something to
change the trend of your thoughts.
Do as a friend of mine did He was
troubled the same way and found that
the old folks plan of imagining sheep
passing a barrier and counting them
was out of date, so he began trying to
name all the states In the Union. He
soon got them so he could classify
them alphabetically. Then, when they
no longer Interested him, he started on
the counties of his state. He now has
them at his tongues end, classified up
to the fourth letter Now he Is start
ing on state capitals and their loca-
tons. Then he will take up county
seats. A moments glance at an atlas
during the day shows him when he is
wrong, and the beauty Of the plan Is
that he rarely has to think along these
lines longer than ten minutes before
he is sound asleep. To make 1t short,
