VARNlSH TROUBLES.

The Complaint That Is Made by a
Piano Manufacturer.
The piano manufacturer was talking.
"a fortune of a million dollars, at
least" he said, awaits the man who
can invent a varnish which will re-
spond to changes Of temperature in
exactly the same rate at which wood
responds.
Everybody who ever has made or
owned a highly polished article Of fur
niture knows that the surface is liable
to break into small cracks-become
finely crackled-and thus its beauty is
lost. This cracking Is caused by the
fact that sudden changes Of tempera-
ture affect varnish- especially fine
piano varnish-almost Instantly, while
the wood beneath contracts or ex-
pands at a different rate. This splin-
tiers the varnish, and thus far no man.
ufacturer has been able to get the
best OF the situation.
1--WE are waiting for this entirely
possible elastic varnish, which, when
it shall come. will be more welcome to
the manufa cturers Of fine furniture
than the flying machine is to the world
at large. A piano, delicate as 1t is,
could be stored in an icehouse without
detriment to Its polished surface, pro-
vided the temperature was kept even,
but changes, especially If sudden, are
fatal to the beauty of the case."-.

Her Patriotic Protest.

The force Of natural and Instructive
pride in ones country has been end
lessly expressed in literatures Of all
times and chimes, but rarely more dra-
matically than in the following little
incident:
Grieg, as every one knows, is the
musical idol Of all Norwegians, al
though it has been the fashion Of less
talented outsiders to underrate him.
One Of the most indefa tigable Of these
detractors was the German composer
Bargiel, a man of an instinctively jeal-
GUS nature.
One day one of his pupils, Norwe-
gian girl, brought for her lesson con-
certo Of Grieg'a. Bargiel took it from
her with a smile Of most superior dis
dain.
'.But I told you to bring your music,
and Grieg is no music!" he said scorn-
fully.
"What-Grieg no musicv' was the
indignant reply. "Adieu, Herr Profess
orr And she swept out Of the studio,
never to return.

THEY TOOK HIM IN.
A Surprise That Rufflsd an Absent.
minded Scientist.

minded Scientist.
A certain foreign scientist who lee
tured in this country was, to say the
was asked to lecture In a city not fal
from Philadelphia. He went, taking
with him his dress suit and no other
suit. Having given his lecture, he
spent the night at the house of fel'
low professor, woke up the next morn
ing, cheerfully donned the dress suit
and sailed forth to give another lee
ture at the local college.
He didn't know just where the col
lege was, but, spying an imposing
looking building not far from his
hosts residence, decided that that was
it. While walking toward the door he
suddenly saw an ant hill. Bugs were
his specially. He dropped at once to
his knees, dress suit and all, and start
ed to scoop out ants.
The next thing he knew he was sur
rounded by body Of men who had
rushed out from the imposing looking
building. They seized him roughly
and proceeded to drag him indoors.
He gesticulated. He protested in many
languages. 1t was Of no avail. At last,
however, explanations were forthcom-
ing.
The imposing looking building was
none other than the lunatic asylum.
Seeing a man attired in dress suit
digging up ants at 10 o'clock in the
morning, the attendants had thought
that an inmate had escaped; hence the
sally and attack.-Philadelph Record.

|NO INDIGESTION OR
STOMACH TROUBLE

Why not get some now-this mo-
ment, and forever rid yourself of
stomach trouble and indigestion? A
dieted stomach gets the, blues and
grumbles. Give it a good eat, then
take Pape's Diapepsin to start the di-
gestive juices working. There will be
no dyspepsia or belchtng Of gas or
eructations Of undigested food; no
feeling like lump of lead in the
stomach or heartburn, sick headache
and dizziness, and your food will not
ferment and poison your breath with
nauseous odors. .!1s
Pape's Diapepsin costs only 50 cents
for a large case at any drug store
here, and will relieve the most OBJ
stinate case of indigestion and upset
stomach in five minutes.
There is nothing else better to take
gas from the stomach and cleanse the
stomach and rintestines, and, besides,
one single dose will digest and pre-
pare for assimilation into the blood,
all your food the same as a sound,
healthy stomach would do 1t.
When Diapepsin works, your stom-
ach rests-gets itself in order, cleans
up-and then you feel like eating
when you come to the table, and what
you eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all stomach
misery is waiting for you as soon as
you decide to take little Diapepsin.
Tell your druggist that you want
Pape's Diapepsin, because you want
to become thoroughly cured this time.
Remember, if your stomach feels
out of order and uncomfortable now
you can get relief in five minutes.

THE WISDOM OF WE'LL DOING.

Duluth Herald: The other day the
Herald told how an Iowa man paid
1886 for ten ears of corn, or at the
rate of $3.50 per ear, for a cereal
that ordinarily you can buy for 60
cents or so bushel.
But this corn was different. 1t was
raised by an Indiana man who not
only got $685. for the ten ears, but
who had before that won more than
$1,000 in prizes with them at the
Omaha corn exposition. At the rate
paid for this corn by the Iowa man
corn would cost $2,345 bushel.
At the same exposition another
man paid $104 for peck Of wheat
which had won the prize, and he
was glad to get it. This wheat was
costly for the same reason the corn
was expensive-because it was the
best ever grown, and was highly val
liable for seed-growing purposes.
The man who produced that prize
corn didn't buy any old seed that was
ON the market, scatter it in the
ground in any old way, and harvest
it in any old: way. If he had, it
would not even have brought the
highest market price of something
like IS cents a bushel. He bought
the best seed he could find, and he
watched every step of the way from
seed-buying to harvest with the ut
most vigilance. Out Of his crop he
picked only the perfect ears for seed
sending the rest to market. Out of
his second years crop again he pick
ed only the perfect ears, eliminating
all with the slightest blemish. And
so it went until he had produced,
by an evolutionary process of the
survival Of the fittest, ten ears OF
corn that won $1,000 in prizes and
sold for $685..
His neighbors, perhaps, still were
raising corn in the 'good old way
which largely was hit or miss way
that took for granted many things
that this man made the subject of
constant care. This neighbours corn
If he is lucky, brings him 40 cents
a bushel or thereaLouts. The prize
winners corn brings the top market
'nrice and his seed corn commands
fancy rates.
All of which goes to show that If
a thing is worth doing it is worth
doing we'll.

To Save Confusion When Movin

To Save Confusion When Moving.
If you are planning to move prevent
confusion in placing furniture in the
new house in the following manner:
In leisure moments prepare large
card for each room to be tackled to the
outside of the door frame on moving
day. Assign a number and mark
card for each bedroom. Letter the
other cards with the names of the
other rooms Then prepare number
of smaller tags, attaching a string to
each, or use baggage tags. Mark
enough to put on all furniture. trunks
or boxes with the name of the room
into which each is to be put. Show
your movers the arrangement and
there will be little or no error in plac-
ing, while no valuable time and
