The average man cannot afford to employ good physician for every slight ail- ment or Injury that may occur in his family, nor can he afford 10 neglect them, as so slight an Injury as the scratch of a pin has been known to cause the loss of n limb. Hence every man must from necessity be his own doctor for this class ofailments Success often depends upon prompt treatment, which can only be had when suitable medicines are Kept at hand.

CIPHER MARKS UNPOPULAR.

''The cipher price mark, the tag not marked '$1.75' but 'P17cdq,' is getting to be a thing of the past" " said a jeweler. "The public mis- trusts it. There is nothing that wins the confidence of the public like price mark in big, plain figures.
 Most cipher price marks are easi- ly read. They have for their key, as rule, the sentence I push trade. The I' is 1, the p ?, and 'u' 3 and so on down to the e. which stands for 0. Thus 'S2.75' in cipher would be '$prh.'
 "Ciphers are useful for firms that give long credit, for such firms must naturally ask more from a six months customer than spot cash one. But they are very unpopular things. They arouse universal mis- trust

REcKLEssNEss OF CARTRIDGES.

An extraordinary partridge story comes from Conington, Hunting don, England. A lady was reading in her sitting room when, to her con- sternation, a brace of partridges dashed through the window. They broke two panes of glass but wers secured before doing further dam. age. It is supposed they were be. ing pursued by hawk, no guns be. ing out at the time.
 Partridges look backward in flight and are frequently injured or killed by telegraph wires. Some time ago a partridge dashed into the thick lookout glass of an engine on the Great Eastern railway near Ely and actually smashed 1t, while it is no unusual thing in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk for them to fly into railway carriages.

Rabbit Pest in a Graveyard.

stettin suffers from Australias plague of rabbits, but only in the principal cemetery. Here they are a veritable pest and so far all efforts to get rid of them have been unavaiA ing. Into holes, where holes could be found. carbolic acid was poured, but bunny of the graveyards is quite cozy in a thick bush under a fine tree as in any hole. and he makes the tree bark fly as far up as he can reach 1t. There has been one battue, but the rabbits are again as numerous as ever. The other day while a fu neral was in progress a rabbit en- sconced itself confidingly at the foot of the officiating clergyman.

heroism.

There is a good deal of heroism fin the world of the sort that gets into the public eye and receives med als as reward, as the giving out of 63 such tokens of gold, silver or bronze by the Carnegie hero fund commission attests, comments a writ. CT in the Boston Transcript, There is more of the splendid stuff indeed than even the firmest believers in human natures good qualities would quite think possible without all the gratifying figures at hand to prove its existence. And when one reflects that the heroism which may be known of all men Is only about one-thousandth part as great as the sort that never will and never may be known 1t makes one feel that the world and the times are good.

CAN BE HEARD ONE MILE.
Photograph invented by French.
 man Has This Quality.

A photograph which can be heard . mile away is the new French in- vention, the elgephone, says the Musical Age. The sound is pro- duced by the use of what are called speaking flames, and the principles governing the method were first ex- plained in 1903 by c. c. Porter be- fore the London Physical society.
 MT. Peter found that if tuning fork be struck and then held in the flame of a Bunsen burner the sound Is perceptibly increased. The maxi mum of sound intensity occurs when the fork is held where the flame is hottest.
 The French inventor, c. Landet, uses a record which has the sound vibrations marked not in depth, but in length, and the stylus travels horizontally, like pendulum. The stylus separates the gas chamber into two parts and the gas then passes on to the burners. The vibrations of the disk open and close the gas open ings, causing the flow to vary.
 The sound Is so intense that 1t can be heard a mile away. It can be les sened by regulating the burner, but the power of sound is found to be always proportional to the energy given out during combustion.

TEMPLES OF SOUTH AFRICA.
Great Areas Enclosed by soldIy Built
 Stone Walls.

The temple ruins at Rhodeeia arc puzzlers. The erudte folks used to say they were ancient, hut Dr. Ran dall Macivers, their latest explorer, says they were built iL the Middle Ages. He says the great "elliptical temple" was the fortified residence of the great chief or Monomortapa, whose sway extended over an enor- nous area and an extensive popula- tion. To understand how architectural feats like the finer Rhodesian build ings can have been achieved by the precursors of the modern South Afri- can natives it is necessary to assume that in those days there was organi- zation of far higher character than has obtained in recent years, organi. zation under great chiefs whose pow CT and intelligence were of a relative " high order. From the Portuguese and their records this would appear to have been the case in the days of the Monomortapan empire of the Mid dle Ages down to the close of the six teenth century The organization of labor implied by the elaborate and decorated stone architecture is re- markable. Even more remarkable than the fortified castles are the ter race walls. These stone built walls form irregular concentric rings around the hills upon which the vil- lages were situated, and althoug> structurally simple, cover an enor- nous area, extending in close forma- tion over a space of upward of 50 square miles.
