A Doctors DISADVANTAGE.

In one way" said collector. 'it
is easier to get money from doctor
than anybody else who is slow pay.
1t is more difficult for him to swear
that he hasn't been able to make any
collections himself since the first of
the year. A doctors reception room is
open 10 all possible patients. A col
lector with grain of ingenuity can
find way to worm out of the men on
the waiting list information as to the
terms of payment. After an inter-
view with three or four persons who
have paid spot cash for treatment and
who have told the collector they paid,
it takes a mighty nerve on the part of
the doctor to insist that he hasn't a
dollar to his name"

Women Fishermen.

On the coast of Holland, Belgium
and Northern France the fisherwomen
are a familiar sight, with their great
hand nets and quaint costumes. Many
of the towns have distinctive costumes
by which their women can be recog-
nized anywhere. Those of Mana-Kirke
near Ostend, wear trousers and loose
blouses, while their heads and shoul
ders are covered by shawls. They
carry their nets into the sea and scoop
up vast quantities of shrimps and
prawns, with an occasional crab or
lobster and many small fish. They
often wade out till the water is up to
their necks, and they remain for hours
at time in water above their knees,
rarely returning until their baskets
are full.

LEST HE FORGET.
No Roseate Postcard Without Its
Thorn of Suggestion.

Harolds mother-well call him Har-
old-went abroad a month ago, leav-
ing Harold under the somewhat I'M
substantial control of his elder sisters.
In spite of the itemized directions
with which even unto the moment of
final leave-taking she had not ceased
to lombard him, Harold's mother was
far from sure that her efforts would
have any lasting effect.
Her voyage was more or less dis
turbed by these doubts, but before
she landed on the other side she had
determined on course of action. Like
all small boys, Harold is most COW
etous Of picture postcards and had
looked forward to harvest from his
mothers trip. He got it.
Every day she sent at least one
card. And whatever else it bore in the
way of inscription, there was not one
which failed Of this introduction:

Very Tempting.

A man was brought before justice
of the peace charged with the offense
of kissing a young woman "by force
and violence, and against her will"
The young lady, who was very
handsome, gave her testimony in a
modest and straightforward manner,
after which his honor gave the follow
ing decision:
"The court in this case sympathizes
with. the defendant, and will therefore
discharge him without fine, imprison-
ment or reprimand, because the court
while this case has been in progress,
has been obliged to hold on to both
arms of his chair to keep from kissing
the complainant himself"

He saw me one afternoon on Broad

chatted about old times.

Yes, it is he answered. as he
lighted Vuelto Abajos and handed
me another. And do you know what
is the pleasantest thing about it? You

To keep poached eggs in shape set
the water whirling with a spoon and
drop the egg in the center of the
maelstrom. The motion rounds the
eggs.
Place eggs on table. With the fin
ger and thumb try to spin them. A
good egg will only twirl little
while; bad one will spin like top.
Put the broiler pan of your gas
range up in the oven and set your pie
in it. The pie will bake just as well
and if the juice runs out and it always
does, it will not burn and smoke.
Citron which stands awhile is diff
cult to cut, as it gets extremely hard.
If taken and placed in a colander and
held over steam for a short while it
will regain its original freshness and
be ready for use.
An excellent way to avoid staining
the fingers when pairing vegetables
and fruit, particularly apples, is to
wind the thumb and first finger of the
right hand with strips of clean white
cloth. They can be pulled off easily
when pairing is completed and the
stains will be on the cloth instead of
the fingers, which invariably become
deeply stained from fruit and knife.

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for. family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

Timely Advice.

When, not long ago, Mark Twain re-
visited Elmira, whose citizens still
claim him as one of them, he was in
vited to address the inmates of the
State reformatory. Seeking to illus
trate a point in his talk, he drew a
handsome gold watch from his pocket,
and said:
For instance, take my watch"
He got no further Many of the
inmates had been placed in the insti-

went up on all sides, and the speaker

Popu!.us China.

The population Of the Chinese en-
rire is largely a matter of estimate.
There has never been such census of
the empire as that which is
taken every decade IN this country.
But the estimate of the Almanach de
Gotha for 1900 may be taken as fairly
reliable. According to that estimate.
the population of the empire is, in
round numbers, about 400 100000. 1t
is probably safe to say that if the
human beings on earth were stood up
in line every fourth one would be a
