curious Remedies.

In some parts OF England one Of the
best cures for a swollen neck Is to
draw snake nine times across the
throat of the suffering one. after
which the snake is killed and its skin
sewed in a. silnen bag and tightly
sewed around the neck. Another way,
almost as good. is to put the live snake
In bottle. which is tightly corked
and buried near the roots OF rose
bush. and as the helpless snake de-
Gays the swelling in the neck Of the

The Stomach Cannot Rest.

It is mistake to suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins in the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in
testines. The salivary glands in the
mouth. the stomach. lower stomach. liver,
spleen, etc., take part in the digestive
process. This process is going on con-
tinously. Think of resting the heart or
the lungs for few minutes, or any other
organ. Pepsin pancreatin, etc. do not
rest the stomach, they digest the residue
Of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body Of irri-
Eating acids or gas. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets contain just enough Pepsin. and
Pancreatin to do this. They also con-
tain many vegetable tonics and stimulants
for the digestive tract. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets cure dyspepsia the only way It
can be cured. Ask rs about them. Eli
+. Reynolds.

LIP BUTTONS.


Queer Ornaments Worn By Natives Of
Northern Alaska.
Perhaps the most interesting archaic
illogical discovery made on the north
coast Of Alaska has relation to the
present methods OF personal decora-
ton now used BY the natives Of Alas
ka, the most significant feature Of
which is the wearing of lip buttons, or
labrets. by the men.
The present custom is that when a
boy is fourteen or sixteen years OF age
holes are pierced In his lower lip, one
below each corner OF the mouth. A
small wooden plug is at first inserted
to keep the hole from growing to-
gether, and month by month a bigger
and bigger plug Is used, till finally the
openings are half an inch In diameter.
At this point the young man begins
to wear stone or ivory plugs. These
ornaments are put in from the inside
ordinarily as one might insert but
ton into shirt front. Usually the two
buttons worn are each Of a different
sort, while sometimes only one Of the
holes is filed. and in summer men are
occasionally met with who wear no
buttons at all.
When visitor Is seen approaching,
however, the ornaments are always In
serted, for one does not feel dressed
without them. In preparing for sleep
they are usually removed.--V. Stefans-
son in Harper's Magazine.

Method

Method is the very hinge Of bush
ness, and there is no method without
punctuality. Punctuality is important
because it subserves the peace and
good temper Of family. Calmness OF
mind. which it produces. is another
advantage Of punctdality. A disor-
derby man is always in a hurry. He
has no time to speak to you because
he is going elsewhere, and when he
gets there he is too late for. his bust
ness or he must hurry away before he
can finish it.

he is one of the. veterans of the
business. For more than 90 years
as boy and man, he has followed
the business of rafting and fishing;
has seen the end of one and now
faces the termination of the other.
Kinsey and Noll, quoted above,
are veterans also, having fished
the river for a livelihood more
than half a century.
"It's broke up rafting too" con-
tinued Shank, pointing gloomily
toward the river. "Yon don't

once long here, do youf Well, sir,
in my time I've seen as many as 75l
or 80 RATS come down the river a
day. Of course, there amt as
many trees up yonder as there was,

down the river no more, past that

probably travel 80 miles a day

they would hike it back to the

=
Ones ability to extinguish a starting
fire or to escape If caught in burn
ing building depends upon intelligence
and self control If the blaze is just
starting throw water on the material
that Is burning-not at the blaze. One
bucket of water will do more good II
thrown on by handfuls or with a
broom than If dashed on at once. a
small fire may be smothered with a
rug or blanket or beaten out with a
broom.
If you cannot put out the fire in a
minute yell "Firer' and then, if in a
city. call the fire department. Every
one living in the house should know
the telephone number to be used for
getting the firemen, and 1t should be
on the wall for strangers to use. There
Is no time for looking in the directory.
even If one should not be too nervous
to find a number. Every one should
know where the nearest fire alarm
box is and how to use it.
Do not leave the door open when
you run out to give an alarm. If the
Z
fire starts one can always get the fire
men there in time to put it out while
it is in only one room. The fire soon
consumes all the oxygen in closed
room and may die out If it gets no
fresh air
If awakened in the night by the
smell or cry of fire, don't dress. Wrap
Ia.
bed and get out the quickest way you
can. Shut the doors you pass through.
After calling for help try to ascertain
the extent and the situation of the
fire. You can tell If 1t is best to try
to carry out the household goods. If
the fire is on the first floor it is very
dangerous to go above, because the
heat and choking smoke rise.
One can often get out through a hall
filled with smoke by going on his hands
and knees when he would fall chok-
ing If he ran. The smoke is the thick
est at the ceiling. Holding wet tow
ell or anything made of flannel or even
a coat collar over the mouth greatly
lessons the danger of injury to the
lungs or death from the carbonic acid
gas In the smoke.
Most fires start in the first floor or
basement Of building and burn a
hole up through the roof. In a house
the flames travel by the stairways; in
n big store or hotel they go quickly
up the elevator shaft. After reaching
the top the fire spreads and slowly
goes down.

ing most of all In the first place,
don't be afraid to apply a little soap
and water to 1t to wash off the dust
and dirt. Use soapy water, sponge
and a paint brush to get into the folds
of the leather and the crevices. The
soapy water will darken the leather,
but only temporarily. When the leath-
er is dry here is a preparation that
will do it good. It's simply just one
part sweet oil and four parts benzine
The oil will darken the leather little,
but 1t will soon dry I'm and leave it the
original color. The surplus oil may be
removed by rubbing. Rub into the
grain of the leather. This treatment
four times year will preserve both
the life and the elasticity Of leather
