Apple Cure for Drunkards.

For ten years, said aphyslclan,
Il have advocated apples as a cure
for drunkenness. In that time have
tried the apple cure on some 40 or 81
drunkardS. and my success has been
most gratifying.
Let any man afflicted with the
love of drink eat three or more apples
daily and the horrible craving will
gradually leave him. The cure be
greatly helped along if he also smokes
little as possible.
Il know a woman who cured 4
drunken husband without his knowl-
edge. by keeping always plentiful
supply of good apples on the dining
table. The man ate these apples and
finally stopped drinking altogether.

THE ORIGIN OF PROFANITY.
LinguistlesIIy It Is Primarily Due to
Desire for Emphasis.

One proposition there is which
needs to be stated emphatically at this
point, writes Prof. Thomas r. Louns-
bury, in Harper's. Words and phrases
which are amply sufficient for the un-
derstanding are often altogether made
Quate for the expression of tho feel
ings. The result of this mental dissat-
mere knowledge is most conspicuous
ly illustrated in the wide prevalence
of profanity Into the discussion of this
practice its moral and religious as
pect does not enter at all. 1t is pure
ly from the linguistic side that 1t is
here to be considered. So looked at,
its existence and the extent of the in
diligence in it bear out the truth of
the principle just announced. What
ever intellectual justification there
may be for profanity is based upon the
fact that men are aiming to state
strongly what they feel strongly. The
habit is. in consequence, subject to the
general law governing intensives.
TO very great extent the practice
of swearing is specially characteristic
of a rude and imperfect civilization.
With the advance of culture profanity
declines 1t declines not so much be-
cause men become peculiarly sensitive
to its viciOusness, but they do to its
ineffectiveness. The growth of refine
ment both in the individual and in
the community tends more to its dis.
use than all the eXhortations of NOR
altsts or the rebukes of divines. Much
must always be allowed in the case of
particular persons for the influence of
early training and association. FIX
ceptions are. therefore, too numerous
to lay down any positive rule; still. 1t
is safe to say in general that a mans
intellectual development is largely de-
termned by the extent of his indulg-
ence in profanity. No one, indeed,
doubts its wide prevalence at the pres
ent time. But compared to the prac-
tice of the past, it has been steadily.
even If slowly, diminishing for cen
turtles. This does not prove that men
are better morally or intellectually
than they were. 1t does show, however,
that there exists now a higher aver
age of cultivation. which renders the
habit distasteful to increasingly large
Numbers.

Coffee as Remedy for Asthma.

Coffee is very excellent remedy
for asthma, according to writer in
the Family Doctor. Those who do not
know how to cut short their attacks
and have not tried coffee should do so
by all means. 1t often succeeds ad
mirably when almost everything else
has failed. There are one or two little
points to be attended to in taking
coffee for asthma.
In the first place, it should be very
strong--in fact. perfectly black. Weak
coffee does more harm than good. II

A Busv Locality.

Jack is the eight-year-old son Of a
Philadelphia suburban merchant, and
not long ago made his first visit to
New York with his father. The
strenuosity of the big town got on
the boys nerves, and by bedtime he
was about run down. He tumbled
into bed quite regardless of certain
duties, but his father was more OBJ
servant.
Don't forget to say your prayers,
my boy" he said.
20, what's the use, pop?" respond
ed the boy. Gods too busy over here
to bother with little thing like that"
The father was shocked, but under
the circumstances he thought it best
not to urge his son.-Lippincott's 8

SINKS AND DRAINS A FIRE.
QUENT CAUSE OF TYPHOID
Purify These and You Will Be
Safe From COntagiOn.
DISIHFEGTIHG THE ONLY PREVENTIVE
Borax, a Simple, Safe and Sure
Method.

How to keep our homes clean, sweet
and free from germ influences is a
question.
While there is no occasion for alarm,
it is always well to be forearmed on
the theory that "An Ounce of Proven
ton Is Better Than a Pound of Cure"
and no ounce of prevention has yet
been discovered that is more simple,
more direct and more effective, yet
harmless to the human system, than
BoraX.
Borax has been known and used for
generations as a purifier and preven-
tive against epidemic influences orig
mating from uncleanly conditions re-
sulting from unsanitary sinks and
drains, and when used as a hot solu-
tion in the proportion of two table
spoonfuls to a gallon of hot water
flushed through the offending loca-
tions, removes every trace of disease
germs and renders the pipes clean
and wholesome.
Borax in addition to it's hygienic
qualities, is household necessity, and
can be used for numberless domestic
purposes. 1t softens the water, makes
linen dazzling white, will cleanse
every article in the kitchen or din
ing room and make it bright, will pre-
vent moths, soften and whiten the
skin, remove dandruff and cleanse the
scalp, and for cleansing and steriliz.
ing baby's milk bottle and nipple has
no equal.
Borax, unlike every other cleanser
and disinfectant, is absolutely harm
less to the system, and is safe, simple,
economical, and can be purchased at
any druggist or grocery. A dainty
book in colors, called the "Jinge
Book" will be sent free to any Mother

No Need of Cotton Famine.

The cotton spinners of the world are
needIessly alarmed lest the ability of
tho south to increase her cotton pro-
duction will not keep pace with the in
creasing number Of spindles and
looms. Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia
in a recent article or interview says
that his state alone. If necessary. could
produce as much cotton as is now be-
ing produced by the entire south. The
same is true Of Mississippi and more
than doubly true Of Texas. The labor
supply is absolutely the only difficulty
that prevents the expansion of cotton
production in the south to almost any
limit that might be desired d-Soutbern

Little Virginia Imagined She Had

Little Virginia, three years old,

But, mamma, feel of me, see if I'm

BLAMED ON THE RAILROAD.
First Thought in Irishman's Mind At.

Railroad claim-agents have little
faith in their fellow creatures. One
said recently: Every time 1 settle

rural residents who wants the rail-
road to pay twice what he would
charge the butcher if he gets a sheep
killed, l think of this story, illustra-
tive of the way some people want to
hold the railroad responsible for
every accident, of whatever kind, that
happens Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one night when their
buggy ran into a ditch overturned,
and they were both stunned When
rescuer came along and revived them,
the first thing one Of them said was:
Where's the train?' why, there's no
train around he was told. Then
where's the railroad?' The nearest

Theodosia Garrison, who has writ.
ten enough poems to girdle the globe,
is called by her friends, the Christ

something of hers in its Christmas

Mrs. Garrison is a surprise to per-

meet her the first time. In verse she
expresses emotion. sentiment, pic
turesque imagination, and has a
thrilling, vibrant touch that stirs to
tears In real life she twangs Il merry

hodiment of wild, roIlicking Irish wit
and humor.

"Dosia." as she is called, had her first
taste of seasickness She met it with
incredulity and remonStrance at first,
but finally succumbed and fled to her
stateroom. There the stewardess
found her prone and bewildered.

the matrOn.
'Oh, yes" gasped Dosia. bring me

After a time she struggled ont on

in a "reely" storm. Telling her friends
of it afterward. she said:
