HEALTH AND INCOME Both Kept Up on Scientific Food.

Good sturdy health helps one a lot to make money.
 With the loss of health ones income is liable to shrink, if not entirely dwindle away.
 When young lady has to make her own living, good health is her best asset.
 q am alone in the world," writes a Chicago girl, dependent on my own efforts for my living. I am clerk, and about two years ago through close application to work and a boarding house diet, I became a nervous in- valid, and got so bad off it was almost impossible for me to stay in the office a half day at time.
 "A friend suggested to me the idea of trying Grape-Nuts food which 1 did making 1t large part of at least two meals a day.
 To-day, I am free from brain-tire, dyspepsia, and all the ills of an over worked and improperly nourished brain and body. To Grape-Nuts ] owe the recovery of my health, and the ability to retain my position and income.
 Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. There's Reason"
 Ever read the above letterf A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest.

AN EFFECTIVE HOME MADE
 KIDNEY AND BACKACHE CURE
Easily Prepared Medicine Which Is Said to Regulate the Kidneys
 and End Backache.

To make up enough of the "Dande- lion Mixture" which is claimed to be prompt cure for Backache and Kid ney and Bladder trouble, get from any good Prescription Pharmacist one.half ounce fluid extract Dandelion; one ounce Kargon Compound and three ounces Compound Syrup of Sarsapa- rilla. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime.
 Those who have tried 1t say 1t acts gently but thoroughly on the Kidneys and entire urinary system, relieving the most severe Backache at once.
 A well-known medical authority rec ommends the prescription to be taken the moment you suspect any Kidney, Bladder or Urinary disorder or feel constant dull Backache, or if the urine is thick, cloudy offensive or full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by scalding sensation; or for too frequent urination during the night.
 This is real harmless vegetable mixture which could not cause injury to anyone and the relief which is said to immediately follow its use is rev elatiou to men and women who suffer from Backache. Kidney trouble or any form of Urinary disorder.
 This Is surely worth trying. as it is easily mixed at home or any druggist will do 1t for you. and doesn't cost much.

the Mesent barnlike quarters, Mann moth cave will come into it's own again.
 However, there are many obstacles that will have to be overcome before this can be brought about When | Doctor Croghan, the owner, died in 1849, he left the entire Mammoth cave estate, consisting of nearly 5000 acres, in the hanGs of trustees for the benefit of his nine nephows and n1eces, with the proviso that when they should all be dead the trustees should sell the estate at public auc- ton. Five of the heirs are still alive, and although the youngest Is seventy two, it may be many years before the provisions of the will can be carried out At public auction the Louisville & Nashville railroad probably would be the purchaser, for already it owns practically all the land around the cave, and for a long time it has been known that the railroad would like to get it to boom it's traffic The rail- road and the trustees have been at loggerheads for years, with the re- suit that the road makes no effort to stimulate traffic. The trustees of the estate do not spend any money in ad- vertising the cave or for improve ments. They are content to get what revenue they can from admissions to the cavern and from the hotel
 Representative Thomas declares the o+O iv, II, cave despite the Croghan will, which provides for it's sale only at public auction, and then only when the last heir shall have passed away. If he can get sufficiently large appropria- tion-probably $1,000,000 for the tim Der on the land is worth $250.000- the government can have the estate appraised and pay the appraisal price to the trustees. His idea is to have the federal authorities improve the estate and make the cave once more a famous show place. The thousands of persons who have visited the cave in earlier days, who have seen it's wonderful stalagmites, who have sailed on its Echo river and who have sat in the star chamber, will sympathize with him and his plan.
 And unless his plan be carried out in the near future the cave will be ab- solutely forgotten except in its imme- diate vicinity The guides and the people who live near the cave love it, and they are looking forward to the time when under government control hundreds of visitors will arrive daily to see It's wonders as they did in the good old days "befo' de wah."

A Run in tne Ear

Pittsburg long, shiny instru ments that doctors solemnly poke into your ear when a little bug makes 6 mistake and gets into the wrong house really aren't necessary to show the bug the error of his way. All you need is box of matches, with friend whose hand is steady, to light them one by one and hold them as close tc your ear as is consistent with safety
 The world is indebted to John Sunders of Colwyn, Pa, fo~ this dis covery. The other day while at work a bug crawled into his ear, causing him great pain, and sympathetic friends gathered round him to offer what aid they might. Then one of them struck a match and held it close to get a better view into the ear. In stantly the pain stopped. While the flame flickered and went out the pain began again. Light another match" begged Sunders. They did, and a dozen after that. Presently the bug responding to the light, emerged and was killed.

Schurz Was Sure of Him,

Carl Schurz was dining one night with man who had written a book of poems, so called, and who was pleased with himself
 The poet was discoursing on the time-worn topic of politics of the men who take office.
 q consider politics and politicians beneath my notice," he said q do not care for office. I wouldn't be a senator or cabinet officer, and I doubt if I could be tempted by the offer of the presidency. For the matter of that, l would rather be known as a third-rate poet than first-rate states man.
 Well, aren't you?' Schurz shouted at him.

Tba Seven Worst Sermons.

As one surveys the field of pulpit oratory for illustrations of sermonic incompetence, he will perceive that if his subject Is to be handled with any high order of justice, he must dispos- sess himself of the personal equation. Among the 52 sermons he was priv1- leged to hear last year, there may have been 49 which he disliked, which bored him or failed to produce flut- tefing of conscience, but these of themselves are not sufficient reasons for bestowing upon any of the 49 the sinister distinction we have In mind. They may have been stupid sermons, badly written, abominably-delive sermons, uninteresting, modifying, un- inspiring, un-anything which sermon may be, and perhaps generally is; but they were just meager, or common place, or tiresome sermons, no more nor less, certainly not of an order of demerit to rank among the seven. For to have won the distinction of badness in a supreme degree, a discourse, like a person, must have violated one of the fundamental laws of goodness, and have clashed somehow with the eternal verities.-William Austin Smith, in At lantic.

The International Salute.

Washington.-Twe guns, the number fired in the international sd lute, was not selected at random. The number was chosen by our govern ment because it was the number long used by the British for their interna- tional salute. Why the British used 21 guns was no doubt due to an early custom which had for a warship salute seven guns. A fort was allowed to fire three times as many guns as a warship, because in those days it was difficult to keep powder in good con- 6ition at sea. It could be kept in good condition on land, and conse- quently the shore battery was allowed large number, or 21. When the time arrived that better powder was made and it could be carried at sea without deterioration, the warship was allowed the same number of guns as the shore battery, and the 21 of today are the result.

 Every part of the vessel and all its belongings are on the same massive scale as the gigantic shell itself.

The Winninq Candidate,

Two candidates for the same office came into a certain town one day. The one called at house where lit tie girl came to the door. Said he: "Stssie, will you please bring me a glass of water?" Having brought the water, he gave her some candy and asked: Did the man ahead of me give you eandy?' Yes, sir" Then he gave her a nickel and said: Did he give you money?" Yes, sir; he gave me ten cents." Then, picking her up, he kissed her and said: Did he kiss you?" Yes, sir, and he kissed mamma, too!'

Kidding Worse Than Cutting.

Talk about making good with your friends, New Orleans man told everybody he knew that he was going to Philadelphia for the dual purpose of seeing the worlds baseball series and having a slight surgical operation performed. Reaching this city, he consulted specialist, and was told that an operation was not necessary.
 But, doctor" the New Orleans party urgently interposed, "it must be done"
 "Why must it?" wonderingly quer- fed the surgeon.
 Because" was the startling re- ioinder of the Southern man, q told all the boys at home that I was going to have an operation performed, and If I don't make good they will kid the life out of me- e'-Philadelphia Tele- graph.

aters and getting the best acts One of the last to give up was old Pop Atkins. By jove, he trotted over his old circuit with the same old ele plants and wagons and animals that he'd been giving them for years His wife died that year, but he didn't care. They'd trained the daughter Clover, to take her place, and she took better than the old lady"
 Sammy evinced a fresh interest Good looker?"
 More than that, son, more than that. She was the $10,000 beauty, all right. None of your little sawed-off soubrettes Slim and fair, she was, and graceful-why, Lord Harry, you should have seen her ride a horse we had. It would waltz on it's eyelids if she lifted her whip. But the cheetah loved her best. Pop used to beat it and poke it playfully with hot iron, and so on. Once when it didn't mind him he stuck the lighted end of a cigar on the tip of its nose Oh, yes, Pop was surely playful"
 Were you with him them" asked Sammy
 q was-up to two weeks before it happened. Then Pop and I had a gentlemanly difference of opinion and l went east. He used to whip the girl the way he had her mother She'd fight back, but 1t wasn't any use, and I interfered We'll, he was her father, and there you were And she was too proud to have him ar rested and testify against him. So after I'd pounded Pop and relieved my feelings and been declined by Glover, left the show She was working up an act with the cheetah then You know what they look like, bigger than a leopard and not so crafty. They train them for hunting over in Persia and India. This one was trained to hate the hand that struck him. So it laid for Pop"
 Who took care of it?" asked Sam my lazily.

M THE CAUSE OF MORE PIE

but MT. Seaman was not satisfied with the size of the pieces of pie. He ar- gued the case briefly with the various walters, but got no satisfactory re- suits. Also he stated his convictions to the manager of the hotel, but that functionary was not altogether free agent and could make no change. In the pursuit of pie, however, MT. Sea- man cannot be baffied. Shortly before dinner one day he telegraphed the general manager of the c. P. R. at Montreal that the slivers of pie which
 were served were not adequate to the rest of the scenery. The message flew across the continent and at din- ner that evening Mir. Seaman's waiter obsequiously set before him large half moon of pie. From that time on there were no further complaints.

GREAT OCEAN BOAT
Olympic, Recently Launched, Is
 Largest in the World.
Ship Is One-Sixth of a Mile Long, Ninety-Two and One-Half Feet Wide and Will Transport
 2,5oo Passengers.

Belfast, Ireland.-At the immense ship-building yards here recently was launched the worlds largest steam ship, the Olympic of the White Star line. The immense craft, to be used in carrying passengers across the At lantic between New York city and Southampton, is S22 feet long, has a breadth of 92 feet and height from the keel to the top of the captains house of 105 feet. There are Il steel lecks and 15 water-tight bulkheads.
 Exceeding one-sixth of a mile in length, the Olympic IS nearly 100 feet longer than any ship now atloat and, compared with her, the Great Eastern, launched in 1858, would seem a dwarf. The Olympic will carry a crew of S60 and will have accommodations for 2,500 passengers, the passenger state rooms and the various public apart ments to be exceptionally spacious, while the beauty and luxury of the ap- pointments will sugpass anything ever attempted aboard ship.
 In addition to lounging rooms, res taurants, smoking apartments, saloons and the like, the Olympic will have in the line of special attractions, swim ming pools, sun parlors, sport decks, tennis courts and palm gardens. The decks will be connected by passenger elevator, much the same as the vari- ous floors of modern office building.
 The gross tonnage of the Olympic will be 45,000, and the ocean monster will have displacement of 6O,O0G tons. Every part of the leviathan has been constructed with a view to strength. There is a double bottom, extending the entire length, the depth being five feet, three inches for the whole distance except under the en- zine room, where it is increased to six feet three inches. The double bottom alone contains more than a half million rivets, weighing about 270 tons, while in the complete ship, the

"A cheetah, said Murray pleasant Iy. "is the pet of kings and rajahs and nabobs and the other classy gen. try of the far east. Ever see one?"
 "I'm not sure," little Sammy Clancy answered.
 The two showmen were on the train en route to join others of the tent family to show in Philadelphia.
 Clancy was new to the circus busi- ness. He had appeared out of the west without warning and had bought out the Rawlings and Wells Oriental hippodrome on wheels, so to speak Both Rawlings and Wells had de- camped for New York without specify ing their intentions as soon as the transfer was made, and the new own CT had appeared simultaneously and had picked up the reins on the run away outfit and stopped the danger.
 He was a very polite, low-voiced chap, about thirty, smooth shaven, dark, with slow, boyish smile and a steady eye. The show people liked him at sight, and within week re- spected him. He did not yell at them nor use large language. AS Murray expressed 1t after personal expert enee:
 Hes an ultimate conclusion So and sos the case, and there you are, and what are you going to do about it? He's wise little boy, and he's my boss and the rest of the shows, too"
 There are several in this country" went on Murray. Some of the parks have them. But they all seem dis pirited. I never saw but one live one You don't know any of the old timers, do you? Haven't been in the busi- ness long?"
 Not so very long," said Sammy.
 This happened nearly eight years ago, just about the time small cir cuses began to lose their grip on ac- count of vaudeville packing the the

Mixinu His Dates.

There is a story of man who was so transported with joy as he stood up at the altar rail to be married, that his thoughts reverted to a day when he stood up at the prisoners bar in a court of justice to plead guilty" or mot guilty" to a criminal charge. So powerfully did that, the most painful event of his life, obtrude itself upon his mind, that when the clergyman put the question, Wilt thou have this woman to be thy welded wife," and so on, the poor distracted bridegroom answered with startling distinctness, Not guilty, so help me God!"-From Tuckerman's Personal Recollections."

Traveller Made His Protest, and the Result Was Both Prompt and
 Effective.

An Intimate friend of Frank Sea
 an was spending a summer out in Ute mountains of British Columbia.
 one occasion he wrote Frank that ,,saf expected to move his camp in a tw weeks and take a certain route, oy water and rail, to another part of ehe mountains. By return mail he re- celyed letter from MT. Seaman say Sng. Don't take that route. Take Hpe train to - and from there the 1pat to -. Stop off at - and stay 4aere while.

 MT. Seaman's fondness for pie as- sumes, at times, serious forms. When travelling in British Columbia himself ne spent some time at one of the iarge hotels belonging to the Canadi- Aa Pacific Railway company. The service in those hotels is excellent
