No living man of this age ever de-
liberately chose to adopt trousers"
He was forced into them and all other
eccentricities of dress by woman. In
the very earliest sartorial experience
of every man he is swathed in a queer
bundle of incoherent bandages by a
woman Later she puts him into cute
little dresses so that the neighbOrs
can't tell him from his little sister.
Still later she cuts off his curls and
puts him into knickerbockers, and he
puts on long pants" when she gives
the word and not before. That is all
that man has to do or ever had to do
with wearing trousers. Woman forced
him into them in the first place, and
now he is afraid to wear anything else
for fear Of making 4 sensation.

Soap for the Orient.

1t is told by travellers that the
homes of the common people of China
are so wanting in cleanliness that a
Russian dog would refuse TO live in
one of them. The peasantry are said
to be unacquainted entirely with the
benefits Of water except for irrigat-
ing and drinking purposes.
From the report of the Deputy Con-
sul-General at Hong Kong it appears
: that a new order Of things is begin
ming to interest the Chinese. Among
the inhabitants of Southern China a
brisk demand has of late sprung up
for soap. In the year 1906 Great Brit
ain sold more than 100000 worth,
and in the same period soap to the
value of $4,000 has been imported
from the United States. The Euro
pean business has almost doubled in
a year, and the Americans are doing
better than ever before. The Deputy
Consu[General says that the demand
is a growing one, the taste of the buy
eTs running toward the highly scented
grades and those with attractive
wrappings. He thinks that american
manufacturers could do very well if
they went after the business, putting
their products up in cartons marked
with Chinese characters. - Toledo

1T is of incalculable consequence

contempt mixed with our pity, but
for his unfortunate wife and little
ones we feel only pity, and that CT
the deepest and tenderest kind.
Everything possible should be done

a proud and responsible privilege to

keep steadily before his eyes the fact
that he is wholly unfit to take part

less he can first govern himself. He

DO SALOONS MAKE BUSINESS?

The average bar in a town viii
take in about $4,000 a year. This
amount is money drawn away from
legitimate channels of trade. That
which is spent for liquor cannot buy
boots, shoes, clothing. provisions
nor the comforts of life.
Yet the barroom does make busi-
ness. A certain justice of the peace
in New York State said, Nineteen
out of twenty cases brought before
me are the result of liquor. See
how this makes business for the po-
lice officer, and prosecuting lawyer,
the defendants lawyer, the judge,
the jailor, guards at the penitenti-
aries, asylums, coroners, undertake
ers, etc The county has to bear the
most of this expense. Let us apply
the same reasoning to importing to

The Medical Profession and Alcohol

A veritable revolution has occur
red in medical science within a gen.
Grafton. In an important paper read
before the Central Texas Medical AS
ISOLATION in 1903, DR.. r. B. Turner
states these facts: Thirty years
ago the dominant principle of the
practice of medicine was stimulation.
Alcohol was supposed to arouse and
support vital forces in disease; hence
its university in the therapeutics of
that age"
In contrast with this there is now
a strong element in the medical pro-
fessiOn who have almost wholly dis
carded the use of alcohol, except in
extraordinary cases; national tenn
perance medical associations in both
England and America have been or
ganiZed, led by many of the most
distinguished physicians and sur
geons now living; several leading
hospitals have successfully banished
alcoholic remedies from their medi-
cal cOmmissary and now investiga-
lions sarried on by many of the
great insurance companies are en-
phasiZing the startling conclusion Of
actuaries that teetotalers, as class,
live from 30 to so per cent longer
than moderate drinkers.

And the Prayer Was Answered.

Little Dorothy at the age of 6,
was very thoughtless regarding the
care of her clothes, and the many
admonitions she had received about
neatly arranging her clothes on a
chair each night before retiring were
daily forgotten.
One night, just as she was ready
for bed, her mother came in and,
finding the little garments in heap
on the floor, as usual, said, "Doro-
thy, you may say your prayers, and
then mother will have to punish you
for not minding her about your
clothes" Having said this she step
ped into the adjoining room and par

Dorothy, who was a firm believer in
the power of prayer, repeat, Now

heard this appeal, And, dear Lord.

A BIT or ORIENTAL HUMOR.

Of the eyes of native children. and
men lie asleep in sunny places with
flies crawling over their lips.
The natives don't mind the flies.
In fact, they like them. At hoorj,
or native inn, in the Sahara, a trat-
eler said to the waiter, pointing in
dignantly at his stew of barley and
goats flesh:
How comes this dead fly in my
couscous?"
Monsieur" replied the waiter, II
can not tell you. Perhaps the fly
had not eaten for many days, and.
throwing itself ravenously on the
couscous, fed with too great heartt-
ness. thereby contracting an infiam-
nation of the stomach severe enough
to cause death Tie poor little thing
could never have been strong. When
I brought the couscous it was dane

presented itself to met endeavor-

That Blush That Won't Come Off.

of course, like the delicate flush with
which novelists SO conveniently en-
dow their heroines. and one is not
sure whether it is not better to trust
to Providence for an occasional blush
than to wear it continually and never
be able to pale on OCCASION. If one did
naturally blush. moreover, with the
healthy flush" already placed there
by artificiaEy's artful aid, goodness
alone knows what the effect would be.

japanese Coins the Finest.

If comparison is made with coins Of
other countries it is found that, so far
at least as the experience of the New
York assay office goes, the American
coin, although falling considerably
short of the absolute fineness, is about
as good as any other gold coin cur
rent in Europe and better by good
deal than some of them. The average
of German coins that have been melt
ed down at the assay Office has proved
to be about 899,626, the average fine
ness of French coin about 1894, while
the Spanish coins have frequently
been found to be as low as 500 In
all these countries the legal ineness
is 900, so that these figures show that
there is considerable variation from
the nominal fineness of coins, not only
here, but in Europe as well. 1t is
an interesting fact-light recently
thrown on Japanese affairs in gen
eral makes it possible to say a curt
Gus fact-that the Japanese coins in
the matter of fneness are superior 80
all Others.-Finance.

BAR5ERiNG BY CODE.

A barber on Kansas avenue in Kan

lather over the face of a perspiring

IN a drawer under the mirror and
drew forth large leather-bound book.

a large sign OH the wall

he placed the medical book back In

off the mans whiskers. Having fin

it to the customers face. Regulation

took some formaldehyde gas. which
he applied to his razor to make sure
that any bacill that might have be-

tons would be dead before applying
the razor again. After looking over
the list to see that none of the regu-
lations were violated, he summoned

Poisoned BY EoneysuckIe.

One of the most favorite and beau
tiful of our flowers is the common
honeysuckle, but it would seem to
have it's dangers, The London Lancet
mentions a case occurring in the prac-
tice of Dr. Engh OF Volden, in which
q little boy two years old was poison
ed by its flowers.
The child, after being in the garden
playing with the flowers, became tired
and drowsy and then complained of
thirst. Our contemporary dc cribes
the symptoms that followed and adds
that the boy made a good recovery
but was peevish and inert for some
days. Various kinds of honeysuckle
have been used incidentally as dihret-
lis and diarhoretics, and it is well
that it should be known that some of
the varieties at all events are far
from harmless. The flowers appear
to be specially dangerous when fresh
ly picked.

Imitation Patina,

The best method of obtaining a
coating resembling patina, according
to the Metallarbeiter, Vienna. is to
immerse the article in a solution of
nitrate of COPPER and then to place it
while still wet in a chamber contain
ing an abundance of carbonic acid
The fermenting room of brandy dis
tillery is specially adapted for this
purpose, as. besides containing car
bonic acid, it has a rather high tenn
perature. which materially aids the
formation of the coating In this case
the development of the green incrus-
tation may be observed from day to
day; If after about a week the object
has not yet obtained the proper color
it must be again dipped in the above
solution, and this operation repeat
ed till the desired shade has been
acquired. AS the formation of patina
under these conditions proceeds in
the same way as in the open air, but
more rapidly, handsome and perma-
nent coating can be produced by this
mems.

LAsT SIGH OF THE MOOR
Il Promises to Be the Most Distress
inc of All for Spain.

Fore more than 400 years the
bodies of dead Spaniards have filled
the trenches and the battle plains
from North America to Terre del Fue-
go and from Cuba to the Philippines.
Every family's dead is scattered over
the earth. And it has all Teen in vain.
The people of Spain have only really
prospered since we relieved them of
this burden of world-power and world
meddling which we are finding so
costly and troublesome. They have
seen all go, save a few rocks on for
eign shores, of which Ceuta and Melil-
la are the most valuable, and they are
willing to let them go rather than pay
tribute to the war gods The Liberals,
the Republicans, the Democrats, the
progressive common people, and the
mothers of Spain have had enough of
it all. They demand less war and
more education for Spain.
The Morocco war is not new. 1t is
only another echo of that momentous
reign of Ferdinand and Isabella. The
present war is directly attributable to
lHe opening OF UIDeS-dnu TdlQS on
those mines-ffteen miles inland from
Melilla. But as matter of fact this
is only the present day provocation
Underneath and behind it, smoldering
through centuries, are the fires of the
hatred for the Spaniards that the
Moors brought over to the Riff coast
when they were expelled from Spain
and when, leaving Granada, they even
carried their keys with them to Africa
with the determination to return to
use them.
The present war began in Mellila
only five years after Columbus dis
covered America, when the Spaniards
following the MoOrs, established the
Spanish town and convict station on
the rocky peninsula which is now
Melilla, and to which Spain is now
sending her soldiers. And this time
the Moors are equipped with the very
rifles that the Spaniards carried in
Cuba, sold to them by a short-sighted
government. They have the hatred,
the villainous appearance, and the
arms to make this last sigh of the
Moor" the most distressing one of all.

in a state of nervous collapse that

tussle we do not like to postpone the
great event, so we take picture.
Naturally it is not a good likeness.
The man is not satisfied neither am l,
but it is not much use to repeat the
performance, for he is not likely to
get better picture.
Altogether there is strained,
tense look on the pictured face of a
deaf person which not even the pen
ell of the retoucher can soften, and
if the photographers art were to be
judged by that small portion of his
work he would soon suffer so in repu-
