A CANDY-MAKING MOTHER.

In a small city of Massachusetts
there Is a woman who works busily
all day at a novel industry that OF
making candy, through the sale OF
which she is giving her son a college
course. Her beginning was in very
small way. To help herself-left a
widow with this one child-she made
dainty candies, put them into at
tractive boxes, and sent the boy with
them to a girls boarding school in
the city. The other boys of the vicin-
ity began very soon to make fun OF
the candy peddler, as they called him,
but he kept bravely at his task.
When his mother found out his trials
she sent him to neighboring city,
where she also found ready market
for her products, meanwhile handling
the home trade herself.
Little by little the woman's fame
in candy making spread: by the time
her son was ready to enter college
she had built up considerable indus
try. Now consignments Of hundred
pounds, in pound and half pound
boxes, go weekly to many college
and boarding school in New England,
and orders come to the mother for
all she can make of fudge, nut can
dies and the other CONNECTIONS dear

Accounted For.

On a voyage of the Pacific Mail
liner China, Capt. Dan. Friele--
Ninety Fathom Dan," as he is
called in affectionate tribute to his
care for the lives and property de-
pendent upon his skill-was annoyed
by the persistent and not overwise
chatter of a garrulous passenger.
Whenever the Captain appeared on
desk his prosecutor was there wait
ing with some idiotic question or in
ane and drawn-out yarn. One day
the wind kicked up nasty sea in
which the China pitched and tossed
like an eggshell in pot of boiling
coffee. Ninety Fathom Dan," in
dripping oilskins, his weather-beaten
cheeks glowing from the flashing of
the spray-laden gale, came down from
the bridge and at the saloon COM
panionway was waylaid by the pest.
The pests complexion was a mud
dy green, and it required no expert
enced eye to see that the China's an
tics had shaken his system, full of
bile.
Morning, Captain" he said.
Morning." growled Dan, who
started away in harry.

BaIzac And The Thief.

A story of Balzac IS related by a
French contemporary. A burglar
gained admission to Balzac's house
and was soon at work, by the light
of the moon, at the lock OF the
secretaire in the novelist's chamber.
A strident laugh arrested his opera
tions and he beheld by the moonlight
the novelist sitting up in bed, his
sides aching with laughter.
What is it that makes you mer-
ry?'' demanded the burglar.

'Pere Goriot,' ito think that you
should come in the night without
a lantern to search my secretaire for
money when I can never find any

WISE WORDS.

An exploded theory generally
makes the most noise.
Fortune doesn't smile on us with
out some encouragement.
Love will find a way, even though
it may be only way out.
Put your best foot forward and
you won't have so many kicks COM
ing.
When success doesn't turn a mans
head it is probably because he has a
stiff neck.
Liquor improves with age. In fact,
the longer you keep it the better it is
for you.
The average widow doesn't let the
grass grow under her feet, especially
the grass widow.
Some women get old enough to lie
about their birthdays at a much ear
lier age than others.
AS a rule, woman is dreadfully
disappointed if her worst suspicious
don't come true.
Many woman fishes for a hus-
band, and having landed him, doesn't
know how to get him off the hook.
The average woman prefers a low
neck to high forehead.
Life would be very monotonous if
1t wasn't for the disappointments.
II you want girl to appreciate
your jokes tell her she has a musical
laugh.
People who are always taking Of
Tense have no difficulty in finding
plentiful supply.
The knowledge that comes with old
age is frequently confined to the
knowledge Of lost opportunities.

EXERCISING THE EYES.

"Have you a high roof" was the
apparently irrelevant question put by
the ocu1ist to the woman who had
complained Of having bad eyes.
Higher than the surrounding
houses?"
"Oh, yes" said the woman, "a
good deal higher"
Then what 1 want you to d."
said he, "is to go up there every day
and look around for half an hour.
That will do you more good than
glasses. One trouble with your eyes,
and with many pairs of eyes in New
York, is that you exercise them so
little at long range. They are used
to looking at short distances only.
Long distance looking Is good for
eyes. Persons who habitually have
q wide expanse Of sea or plain to gaze
upon very seldom have weak eyes.
OF course, you cannot move out to
the plains, neither can you spend a
life on the ocean wave, but you can
let your sight travel across the Hud-
son River every day, and I advise
you to do ii. New York Press.

Our Wonderful Bodies.

The mechanism of the human body
is the most complicated. and perfect
in existence. There is no movement
known to engineers which does not
exist in our bodies. The muscles
alone number 500, and the aliment-
a~y canal measures about 80 feet.
The heart is six inches in length
and four inches in diameter, and
beats 70 times a minute, 1920 an
hour, 100000 times a day. At each
beatsef the heart two and a half
<cdhces Of blood are thrown out of it,
IT'S ounces minute, 656A pounds
an hour
All the. blood in the body passes
through the heart in three minutes.
This little organ, by it's ceaseless in
dustry, pumps each day what is equal
to lifting 1872 tons one foot high, or
one ton 122 feet high.
Each square inch of our skin con-
tains $500 perspiratory pores, each
of which may be likened to a little
drainpipe one-fourth of an inch long,
making an aggregate length in the
entire surface of the body OF 201,166

Rare Birds.

Taxidermist G. H. Hoxie, Of Dover
has three birds, very rare for this sec.
ton, which he is mounting at his
shop on Lincoln street. consisting OF
an American rough legged hawk, a
snowy owl and a dovekie. The lat.
ter mentioned bird was found in the
western part of the town one night
last week. It had evidently been
driven inland by the strong wind, as
1t was in an exhausted condition and
died a few days after. Local bird
authorities state that never to theif
knowledge has an Aemerican rough
legged hawk been seen in this sec.
ton. The snowy owl is found occa.
sionally, but 1t is rare visitor in this
locality.-Kennebec Journal.

IN THE HEALTH BOARD.

Miss E. Marion Wade is the first
woman to be appointed by the Boston
Board of Health as bacteriologist

entered the Massachusetts Institute
Of Technology, where she took a spe-
cial course in air, water and food

MODEL COSTUME FOR BUSINESS.

MODEL COSTUME FOR BUSINESS.
The model dress for young wom-
an in an office would consist of a
plain cloth skirt for winter, tailored
silk or white linen blouse, linen col
lar, silk tie and a leather belt. This
may not sound attractive, but if 1t is
we'll made and properly worn the girl
who has it on is in style. If the waist
chosen is dark silk, turn over white
cuffs will be suitable and pretty.
The art Of being well dressed in
this kind of model consists in having
all details perfect. 1t is in this way
that girl shows her good form and
taste. Belt and tie must be in &C
cord, both having some reference to
the color shown in the skirt. Every
detail must be fresh and immaculate
Her hair must be tidy and becomingly
dressed and her hands and nails
should be clean and carefully mani
cured.
A girl who dresses in this way is
apt to succeed in business, because
appearances are in her favor and heI

directness which are a decided ad'
vantage.-New York Telegram.

My mother often told nae it was the

I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe head

While visiting my mother-ln-law
remarked 'tIat she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell ne
how. She laughed and told ne it was
easy to make good coffee when you
use Postum.
Il began to use Postum as soon as
l got home, and now we have the
same good coffee (Postum) every
day, and l have no more trouble. In
digestion is thing of the past, and

WHAT TEARS ARE GOOD FOR.


Professor Waynbaum, M. D., of
Paris, publishes some queer facts re-
garding the nature and purpose of
tears, coming to the conclusion that
tears act upon the human organism
like chloroform ether or alcohol"
when human being gives way to
SORROW" says DR.. Waynbaum, "the
blood pressure in the brain decreases.
The tear helps in this process which
benumbs the brain, for the time be-
ing, causing passiveness of the soul
almost approaching Indifference.
"Tears are blood, changing color
by their passage through the lachry-
NAL glands. One can drown his sor-
row in tears as one can benumb his
3enses by the use of alcohol or drugs.
When a person cries the facial mus
cles contract and the appearance of
the face changes, which action facil-
itates the white blood letting, driving
the blood particles into the lacfrymal
gland, from which they issue in the
shape of tiers.
"Children, whose nervous system is
particularly tender, derive great ben
eft from crying occasionally. The act
Of crying relieves their brain. The
came may be said with respect to
women"
The professor likewise explains
why laughter sometimes produces
tears, but the explanation is too tech

Money is the first essential for
