The Scotch Sabbath.

An English artist, travelling profes sionally through Scotland. had occa- sion to remain over Sunday in a small town in the north. To while away the time he walked out short way in the environs, where the picturesque ruin of castle met his eye He asked a countryman who was passing to be so good as to tell him the name of the castle. The reply was somewhat start ling. "It's no' the day to be asking sic things!'
 Another good story of Scottish ob servance of the Sabbath is told by a clergyman. "A minister of the kirk declared in public that at country hotel he wished the window raised so that he might get some fresh air but the landlady would not allow f, saying, 'Ye can hae no fresh air here on the Sawbeth."

The Way to w; rehan1.

Some young women II England have begun to dress out an.l out like men They wear long coat cut like a hunt ing coat, cap, riding l'reeches and top boots. It is handsome costume, and 1t Is not immodest, l.ut undoubtedly it attracts good dea! of attention. They have been telling in London a story about girl who adopted this riding rig. Pulling up her horse one after, noon, she said to an artisan who was passing, "Can you tell me If this is the way to Wareham?" The man look. ed her over carefully, then he touched bis cap In respectful manner and re piled, "Yes, miss, yes-you seem to ave got 'em on all right"

The Worst of Education.

When the new and the old school meet, there is likely to be clash of opinions, and so the miller, Brown, found the other day when Farmer Jackson sent his young son across to the mill with a sack of corn which he wished ground into meal. Like the miller, the mill was of the old, leisure ly school, and only tiny stream of meal trickled out. The young man waxed impatient.
 "What mill!' he said, with scorn. "Why, I could eat the meal quicker than this ramshackle old concern of yours can grind it!'
 Aye" said Miller Brown, "but how long couldst keep it up, lad?'
 '"Till I starved" was the trenchant answer.
 And when Miller Brown had puzzled out the inwardness of the remark he concluded that lads nowadays were ''gettin' a power too sharp vii their tongues" ."-London Express.

INDIGESTION
A Disorder that Breeds Dis- ease in the Body, and an Easy Way to Cure it.

Take care of the stomach and you will have little need for the doctor.
 When the stomach begins to show signs of disorder; when the food digests slowly and with discomfort; when you have heartburn; feel bloated and uneasy, you are in condition that needs atten- tion.
 Prickly Ash Bitters corre cts the dis. ordered stomach by strengthening and toning up the digestive organs, driving the badly digested food into the bowels and thence out of the system.
 Constipation is nearly always pres- ent when the stomach becomes sour or disordered. Prick1y Ash Bitters con- tains the medicinal qualities which act as a restorative and regulator for the stomach and bowels. It strengthens the digestive organs, cures constipation and prevents the return of bilious conditions.
 Thousands of people who have re- ceived lasting benefit from this great remedy willingly testify to its power in curing indigestion, constipation and kid ney trouble.
 1T suffered from constipation for years, and tried many remedies. but Prickly Ash Bitters is the only medicine that has ever done me any good. Through its use am now in good health and entirely free from all traces of my former trouble."-B. F. ST1GALL, Winnsboro, Louisiana

There Would Be a Vacancy.

"Genius is never appreciated in ths lifetime of the man who possesses it," said the poet disconsolately. "Milton, Shakespeare and all the other men who have made our literature what it is how much were they esteemed when alive?'
 "Cheer up. my boy!" said his easy going friend, who had no soul for sen timent. You'll be appreciated some day"
 "Tablets have been put on the houses where they spent most of their lives, but that is of no moment to them. l wonder whether even that will be done for me? I suppose not. I shall leave no vacant place."
 "Yes, you will. can see the in' scription in my minds eye now"
 "And what do you think will be in scribed upon it?" asked the poet brightening up little.
 "'Rooms to Let,'" replied his friend
 And the poet pined away.-Pearson's Weekly.

some OF the more obscure trades It

Tributary Evils.
This loss of life and limb in times
of peace would be sufficiently appal-

even more serious by the fact that
only about Is per cent. of the indus
trial accidents result in the death of

In our reckless haste to make money
we forget that in SO doing, the UNI
natural wear and tear of industry, and
the fierce struggle for existence are
producing an increasing host of de-
pendent citizens, who have been worn
out as a part of a machine and are
then thrown on the Industrial scrap
heap.
The hours of labor are being slight
~ reduced and wages slightly in
creased, but the wear and tear on
man and machine has been nearly
doubled.
Many men, each one a unit of labor,
valuable to the employer and to so
ciety, drop out crippled by accident or
with their health undermined Unless
the employees are speedily able to re-
adjust themselves in gainful occupa-
tons, they become public charges
Each man added to the list of the
states dependents makes an added
burden of taxes on the wealth produc-
ing citizens.
The employer, who is the exponent
of the industrial system is account
able for this waste of productive pow
er, though not the originator of it, is
himself one of the first victims to feel
the extra burden of taxation Doubt
less he is also appealed to, and sub
scribes literally for private charitable
schemes, which are themselves large
ly necessary evils. Hence the waste

labor. What are his chances to regain
a foothold?
Some few corporations retain on the
payroll those employees who may have
been injured in their service, but the
number of such is small. A few pro-
vide pensions. and even fewer have
instituted some form of benefit that
will be real help in case of disable
ment.
But the great mass of injured per-
sons must readjust themselves as best
they can
Prejudiced Employers.
The chief reason why they fail to do
this and start on the long tortuous
road to semi-pauperism and finally the
almshouse is the open prejudice of
employers against hiring a cripple, or
a failure on their part to recognize
the fact that he still possesses an
economic value. as he usually does.
This remorseless prejudice against
which many an honest and capable
man has been forced to contend has
driven valuable material to the waste
heap of humanity, if not to a self
made grave.
There are many positions filed by
boys and girls who should be in school
which could be better filled by older
men and women unable to command
higher wages because of physical dis
ability. To supplant the incumbents
of such positions would be to raise
the standards of education and of liv-
ing, for if the children were not avail
able their disabled seniors would take
their places at a higher rate of wages
though at less than current standards.
This would do much to remove the
stigma of present national disgrace
by which 1,267, 1924 boys and girls be-
tween the ages of IA and Is years are
allowed to dwarf their young lives in
our shops, factories and mills. The
handicapped man would supplant chill

ton, reacts on itself; and the hard
pressed employer becomes victim to
the very system that is slowly but GER
tainly adding to the cost of main
tenance and production by increasing
the value of labor, which he has tried
to maintain, if not to cheaper
Remedy Pointed Out.
Where is the remedy? If the pres
ent industrial system cannot be abol-
ished, it may be controlled. If the
wear and tear must continue. it may
proceed with less friction and waste.
Legislation on this point is becoming
more stringent, and employers them
selves are aiding in the effort to avoid
needless loss of life and limb.
This problem can be solved only by
sorting out the injured and readjust-
ing them to other forms of labor As
employers more fully appreciate the
great financial loss of life and limb,
as they now so carefully guard the
waste of raw material and so assidu-
ously convert by-products into profit,
the half million now annually forced
into idleness and nonproductivity will
be reestablished on a self-supporting
basis
Centuries ParaIIeIed.
In former times .vassals, serfs and
slaves gave up their lives blindly to
their feudal chiefs; fighting their bat
ties, filling their soil, selling their own
birth rights for a pot of miserable
porridge.
AS the fourteenth century vassal
sold his service and life for food and
shelter so the twentieth century ar
tisan sells his labor and life for money
with which to buy the necessaries of
life. If his wages are greater than his
living expenses and he is fortunate
enough to escape bodily harm, he may,
under extremely favorable conditions,
be able to provide for an Independent

This industrial carnage costs the

Such are the death tolls of indus

Whoever doubts these figures need
only read the grim statistics to be
convinced that modern industry is
more fateful than war.

of S3S.7S6 men were killed and wound

There is certain gentleman of particularly refined instincts and man. ner in Washington who abhors the idea that his young son will become generally acquainted with the Ian. guage of the street. The other after noon when he had just finished ad- monishing the boy that he should not play polo in the streets while roller skating, he got a shock. The young ster had been told that sooner or later he would find himself in the station house, when he suddenly interrupted.
 Pop, did you ever see cop run ming after man?"
 The proud parent replied that he had never seen a policeman at full speed after a prospective prisoner, but added that he believed there were any number of the force who were good speeders.
 Well" continued the youngster, "the bicycle cops is the boys now adays. l believe the cops that walks have all got the rheumatism, and with cops with bun feet, pop, l will run the risk of being pinched."
 The father gasped at the mixture of street. hurled at him. and then re- marked: T don't think there is any use of you going out into the street to skate" Straightway he issued or ders. and his young son now skates in the back yard.
