MESSENGER eoYs IN BERLIN.
Usefu as Escorts for Lone Women
arc Substitutes fer Nursemaids.

Berlin he's inst adopted the dis
trict messenger The boys wear
iauuty polo caps with leather straps
under their chins like English IL
ianirymen.
Their uniform is blue with red
pipings and red stripes down the
seams Of the trousers. The coats
are military blouses with stiff, braid
ed upright collars. There are six
buttons in groups Of two so arranged
that both regular and shoulder belts
may be worn. The latter has a regu-
lar cartouche case for the safe keep
ing of letters or small parcels.
Oddly enough, it is not so much
in a business way that the system has
attracted the Berlinese. They have
taken if up as a kind Of social and
domestic auxiliary.
The boys are already in request as
escorts TO lone women; this is a spe-
cial boon in a city where a respect
able woman can hardly stir out of
doors after dark without either es-
cort or chaperon.
Many households are also saving
the expense of a nursemaid by call
ing a boy to trundle the baby's per-
ambulator for an hour or so or per-
haps to romp with the larger chill
dren in one Of the parks. Boys are
also seen giving French poodles their
airings and Berlin lovers are said
to have found them a more trust
worthy medium o. communication
than the mails.
The peaceful Berlincse are not vet
accustomed to the novelty and as the
boys 90 about the streets on their
various errands crowds stand to gaze
at them. The boys are rigidly
drilled, especially in politeness.

PLEASED THE BOSTON MAN.
Thought Indian Was Acknowledging
Culture Of Modern Athens.

The following story is often told
among the old pioneers and more
enlightened Indians of Oregon,
though it has probably never APP
reared in print.
AT the time the Hudson Bay COM
pany was founding the city of Port
land in the carly ffties, there was a
party OF Bostonian spectators To-
Gated farther up the Columbia river.
This party was often referred TO as
the Boston men" and from fire.
quentIy hearing this expression, the
Indians came to apply the term Of
Boston man. as their only express
sion meaning white man. In further
explanation, the Indian word for
expressing bad and dishonest is
"cultus.'
One day while a number of In
dians were sitting by the roadside. a
couple of the Boston spectators not
verscd in the lingo Of the Indians.
coming upon them, stopped TO see
what they were doing.
An old Indian looked up and,
turning to his friends remarked:
"CuItus Boston men Dad and
lhievish white mcn).
Then one of the spectators
turned to his friend and said in
amazemcnt:
Just to think that even these
poor ignorant Indians acknowledge
the culture Of the BOstonan."

Matrimonial Insurance.

If then no man is stronger than his
stomach and physical strength Is created
the very first question, that a weak man
should ask is. What is wrong with my
stomach?" III there are weak ldngs. the
condition also points to "weak stom-
ach. All physicians know that the cure

ton. II you can put flesh and fat on the

physician in the cure of lung and other
diseases is weak" stomach. II the
stomach was strong he'd feel sure of
cure. in fact. then, any condition o,
physical weakness at once suggests weak
stomach. When the stomach is made
strong. the whole body regans strength
and every organ of the body. heart. liver,
lungs. kidneys. etc. shares in this newly
gained strength.
1t is because d.. Pierce's Golden Meo-
zeal Discovery cues diseases of the stom-
ach and other organs of digestion and
nutrition that il gives strength 10 the
whole body. When the weak stomach is
made strong by Golden Medical Discov-
cry" then food is perfectly dieested
and assimilatct. the nutrition derived
from food is distributed TO the several
organs of the body; and the weak
well fed becomes strong again. So with
the weakness of the other organs Of the
body. it is cured when the stomach is
cured.

does things and hnO,cs tChy he does them
is the one who reaches the top. Most
farmers know that the reason that clover
and all the relations of the clover family
are great reStorers of fertility Is because
they are nitrogen gatherers. They enrich
the land because down at the roots of
these plants are multitudeS OF little nou-
ules and in these nodules are millions of
small organisms gathering in nitrogen
from the air and storing ii in such way
that the plant will give it up TO the soil.

can fino snd use il. The laboratory has
taught the farmer this, and it is i'm the
scientific laboratory that then are win

provement of our fields. Although the
wheat fields produce billion bushels.
we believe the great strides made in agri-
cultural Improvements will bring still
greater returns this year. In the same
way i mechanical engineering making
great strides and improvements whereby
immense harvesters do the work of a
large gang of men and a great many small
machines. If the farmer paid nall ~
much attention to his own body IS nc

The increase in the assessed val
ne of property in Louisville and
Jefferson county, of more than 10
per ent. over that of the last is-
cal year, is strong confirmation
of all the other evidences of prog
ress so apparent in the interval.
The total assessment of the city
a I'd county is S15S, 753, 997, which
is an increase over that of 1905 of
$40, 15S,504. The result is more
assuring from the fact that the in
crease is not ascribable to a greater
rate of taxation, but to the greater
value of property as the healthy
outgrowth of population and i'm
provements. Courier Journal.
