She Worked the Snake Cure.

Novel crimes are occasionally COM
mitted In Paris. as, for instance: An
old gypsy woman called on a doctor
living in the Place Pierriere and asked
him to visit her daughter. who was
lying Ill in caravan on the fortifica-
lions near by. Il have tried the ser
pent cure" she said, but there was no
result. If you will allow me to pay
your fee in advance shall be sure you
will come"
The doctor consented, and the old
woman handed him a 500 note. As
he was getting the change out of the
safe she again mentioned the serpent
cure" and he asked her what it was.
This she said, and, taking box
from under her rags, she turned half
a dozen snakes out on the floor.
The doctor was startled and rushed
out of the room. When he returned
with stick he found that the woman
and the snakes had vanished, while all
the money in his safe had also gone
He still held the 500 note In his hand
bot this proved to be forgery.

OF the usual score cards, four lead

players for their tables, something
on the order of the old fashioned

forward to the delightful affairs
given at the Smiley home and this
was no exception to the rule. This
pretty lawn is well adapted for en-

about on the shady lawn, where I'M

New York man. IL stayed in a hotel

there was the faint OF leprosy, though
he apparently did not have it. One
night sitting at dinner he became an
cry at a waiter and brought his hand
down on the table with full force He
instantly realized that he did not feel
the blow and sat looking at his hand,
his face whitening with horror. Give
me your knife, Bob he said to his
chum. He grabbed the pocketknife in
a frenzy and stabbed the side of bis
hand with vicious cuts from finger
tips to wrist. You may not know that
leprosy appears in the side of the hand,
numbness being a sign. The man did

table, knocking over his chair. rushed

DON'T JUMP OUT OF BED.
Respect the Rights Of Your Nerves
and Get Up Properly.

and Get Up Properly.
Unless you are in vigorous health
and well rested, don't jump out of
bed, says the September Designer.
The majority of people wake more
or less tired, and springing sudden
ly upon the feet after slumber is a
shock which is as injurious as it is
unpleasant.
People who habitually wake up
tired, especially delicate women and
children, should get themselves up
gradually, taking at least five min
utes for it
! 1t is wonderful how much is gain
ed by a little preliminary stretching
/ of the muscles, to tighten them grad
ually with nervous force after they
have been completely unstrung for
| many hours. At the same time one
should stretch the lungs to their full
lest capacity by half dozen gener-
Gus yawns, thus flushing all the res
iduum of carbonic acid and other
poisonous exhalations out of the re-
hottest aif-ce1l6. After five minutes
of such preliminaries, one who has
| felt on first waking that the burden
of the body was too great to be taken
| up and borne, will be surprised to
find it possible to stand quite COM
| forta bly,.
In this, as in many other matters,
nature is better guide than blind
theory from supposed moral neces-
| sity. Lying abed," for moment
af'er waking Was once regarded with
holy horror, and the fate OF the lazy
man in Proverbs was quoted with
junction..
But the. instant to yawn and
stretch after waking is almost uni
versal: it Is also soundly hygienic
and should be q matter Of common
sense. No prudent man starts his
automobile, engine or steam plant
from an absolute rest to full speed
with q jerk; no humane man startles
his horse from sleep to rush him
outdoors, and yet some imagine
that this is the proper way for man.
woman and CHILD to get up!
Rise gradually and comfortably.
II you are woman, so much the
more need, as your nervous organi-
ration is more sensitive and your
duties often call for infinite patience.
