principal hostelry, Clarkesburg, w.

headline on the bill OF fare the word

and when thre elarge shells con
tanning three shriyeled up looking
oysters were served him. ne natur-
ally took a'~'ru'ieU, asked the waiter
II ne was sure they were Blue
Points. The waiter said Yes in
deed, sab. Them Is sure Blue
Points. OF course. Mr. Holden
knew differently. but. rather amused
he strung the waiter along into a
somewha tlengthy dissertation while
he detected the fac tthat the oysters
were simply bulk oysters that were
put on the shells that had been used
before. and, as II TO verify this, on
turning them over with his fork he
discovered two small oysters on one
she'll. Holding them aloft he said In
dramatic tones George, how do you
account for this?" George gazed
curiously az the two oysters for a
moment, and then said In very self
satisfied way: II doan know, sab

MISTAKES OF MENTAL WORKERS.
Few Endeavor to Keep Themselves in
Proper Physical Trim.

Neglect Of physical development is
responsible for many of the ills to
which the vast army of men work
ers is heir. Men and women who labor
In Offices are even forgetting how to
use their legs, SO convenient is it to
resort to street cars, though the dis
lance to be covered may be but few
blocks.
The best mental work is performed
by those who keep in good physical
trim. Generally, the incentive for this
is lacking 1t is perfectly possible for
every mental worker to take daily,
systematic exercise, though it may be
only a brisk walk in the open air or
few free-hand movements on rising in
the morning or retiring at night Few,
however, gain sufficient exhilaration in
these diversions. Most people are more
strongly attracted by games, competi-
lions or the forms of exercise entered
into by a considerable body of persons
in unison. More than that, most peo-
pie would prefer to wa tch others in
these pastimes than to enter into them
in person.

SURE REMEDY FOR H,ccouaHs.
Science at Last Has Devised Cure for
Troublesome Complaint.

Did you ever take nine swallows OF
water to cure the hiccoughs? Do you
remember the time some one scared
the hiccoughs away by telling you of a
whipping due for some meanness?
Well, science has been studying hic-
coughs and caught the hiccoughs by
the "nape of the neck" The nine
swallows of water had a little science
in it, and so did the scare cure. The
scientific hiccough cure consists in
pressing down to numbness the nerve
that connects the stomach, heart, lungs
and brain, the pneumogastric nerve.
The pressure partially and locally
paralyzes this nerve and of necessity
the hiccoughing must cease.
Have the hiccoughing patient sit
down and be at ease, with the muscles
of the neck relaxed as much as pos
sible. Grasp both sides of the neck
somewhat toward the back part and
press down steadily and as hard as the
subject may permit for about one min
ute, having the patient work the head
from side to side. Within about one
minute the nerve will be numbed and
rested and the spasmodic motion viii
cease. It may require longer pressure
is some cases, but the result is sure
if patience is maintained.

Best WAY to Be ussful.

To make oneself beloved, says an old
French proverb, that is, after all, the
best way to be useful That is one of
the deep sayings which children think
fiat, and which young men, and even
young women, despise; and which a
middle-aged man hears with a certain
troubled surprise, and wonders if there
is not something in it, after all; and
which old people discover to be true,
and think, with a sad regret of oPpcr-
tunities missed, and of years devo: ed,
how unprofit ably, to other kinds of use
fulnessi The truth is that most~os us,
who have any ambitions at all, do not
start in life with the hope of being
useful, but rather with an intention CT
being ornamental-Arthu c. Benson

Rules for Good Health.

To keep in good health it is neces-
sary to have regular hours for eating
and sleeping. Meals should be ar
ranged to be served at the same time
each day and there should be no hurry
ing. Go to bed at set hour and rise
regularly. A cold bath is very great
aid toward maintaining health and
beauty, but if 1t is too great a shock
to the system then a tepid bath will
do. Do not, however, neglect the
morning bath. 1t is a great deal
easier, of course, to start taking cold
hath in summer than in winter-any
way to contract the habit. Do not eat
between meals-it is injurious to the
complexion and to the general health
Even afternoon tea is not at all good
for the average woman or man.

The WaIrus' Defenses.

A full-grown walrus will weigh as

mass of muscle and blubber. He is
armed with tusks of ivory, sometimes
two feet in length, and when from his
upreared bulk these formidable weap-
ons are plunged downward upon an
enemy they are as resistless as the
drop of a guillotine. Such thick layer
of blubber lies under the skin that he
is practically clad in an armor impervf-

ONE ON THE JUNIOR PARTNER
Office Boys Joke That Was Appre-
ciated by the Manager.

In large Chicago office, where the
value of system and order is appre-
ciated, one OF the rules which the
manager insists must never be
broken is: Everything must be in
its proper place." The clerk who has
to look for an article which has a
designated place receives a mark
against his name, and a second Of
Tense is sure to bring him a repri-
mand- One day recently the boy
whose duty it is to affix stamps on the
outgoing mail found on his desk a
hat, pair of gloves and a broken box
of cigarettes. The initials in the hat
gave him a clew, and after making a
red ink mark against Rule No. 6, he
placed the articles and the Office code
on the desk of the junior partner and
then told the other boys: I'm fred"
When he received his pay envelope he
found that his wages had been raised
one dollar, and the manager says
Rule No. has never been respected

Good for the Liver.

When the liver is bad life is
jaundiced. Nothing will be right and
woes will 1ock-in Imagination.
Therefore, keep in good trim. If you
think your liver is torpid take it in
time. Change your diet; go in hard
for systematic and outdoor exercise,
special calisthenics to act on the
liver and deep breathing. Avoid rich
food, especially in hot weather. Eat
plenty of fresh vegetables, fruit, gra-
ham or whole-wheat bread and not too
much meat. If milk makes you bilious,
1t is better not to drink it. AS soon
as you begin to feel bilious and your
eyeballs look yellow, drink lemon and
water. Not lemonade, for the acid of
the sugar and lemon is injurious, but
the juice of half lemon squeezed into
glass of water. This can be taken
hot at bedtime and cold, but not
iced, in the morning.

Mental SUGGESTION for Health.

Suggestible as is the conscious mind
the subconscious is still more 50.
Now we know that at least twice a
day we all have brief periods during
which the subconscious is in evidence
and during which therefore, we are
especially suggestible. These two pc
RODS are those immediately preceding
and Immediately succeeding sleep.
We are then in a half-waking and half
sleeping condition, and any suggestion
offered to the mind in that state is in
some inexplicable way, taken up by
the brain mechanism and realized.
Let the worrier, then, use we'll these
few minutes at night and in the morn
ing, by saturating his brain with sug-
gestfons that make against worry and
that make for peace, poise and nerv-
Gus balance.-Rev. S. S. McComb, In

The Skylark's Soma.

The skylark of England does not
sing in winter, but in the early days
of spring the great flocks of these
birds break up, and they go in pairs
to hunt for places to build their nests
and rear their young. 1t is then that
the song of the bird is heard in all
its sweetness. While the mother-bird
is sitting on her nest, her mate often
rises in the air, and with quivering
wing mounts straight upwards so far
that he looks like a mere speck in
the sky. And all the time he pours
forth his rich and beautiful song, ceas-
ing only as he descends again to the
nest.

Singing as Evidence,

Apropos the prodigiously long ora

to know that only a little over twenty
years ago my uncle, Judge in New
Zealand, was obliged to issue an order
to the effect that Tin future singing
would not be taken as evidence" in his
court. 1t was the constant habit of
the Maoris when pleading a cause to
sing long and quite poetic sagas. AS
these generally began with legends of
their remote ancestors, sometimes
many hours, even days, would be spent
before the point POSSIBLY a trivial
one) was reached. There is some
thing Gilbertian in this idea, but any
old New Zealander could youch for the

Mohammedan Serenity.

A Mohammedan people enjoy one
great advantage over all others-thcy
never suffer from the anticipation Of
that which is to come, and, as a nat
ural result, they can always enjoy the

nay separate them from disaster, or
egen from death. Their implicit be-
