LIP BUTTONS.
Queer Ornaments Worn. by Natives of
 Northern Alaska.

Queer Ornaments Worn. by Natives of
 Northern Alaska.
 Perhaps the most interesting archae- ologica1 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, None 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 a but ton into shirt front. Usually the two buttons worn are each of different sort, while sometimes only one of the holes is filled, 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.

THE DOG AS A BEDFEL1ow.

(From the Atlantic.
 Perhaps the final test of anybody s love of dogs is willingness to permit them to make camping ground of the bed. There is no other place in the world that suits the dog quite as well. On the bed he is safe from be- ing stepped upon; he is out of the way of draughts; he has a command ing position from which to survey W hat goes on in the world, and above all the surface $ soft and yielding to his outs tretched limbs. No mere man can ever be so comfortable as a dog looks.
 Some persons object to having 3 6og on the bed. at night, and tt must Ee admitted that he lies a little heav- fly on ones limbs; but why be so base as to prefer comfort to com To wake up in the dark night and put your hand on that warm, soft body, to feel the beating of that faithful seart-is not this better than undisturbed sloth? The best nights rest I ever had was once when a cocker spaniel puppy, who had just recovered from stomach ache (dose one to two soda nints) and was a little frightened by the experience, curled up on my shoulder like fur tippet, gently pushed his cool, soft nose into my neck and there slept sweetly and soundly until morning.

COST OF LIVING
 IS NOW DECREASING
6speciaI from united Press.l

Special from United Press.)
 New Y ork, April 18.-According to dealers in foodstufs, the cost of liv- ing is decreasing steadily and will continue until man with a dollar can buy some butter for his crust of bread
 , Today dealers claim there is evil dence that the consumer has seen the worst of the high cost of living.
 Since the first of April they point out pork has fallen $2 a barrel, lard cent a pound and hogs $2 a hun dred. Corn is 20 cents a bushel lower than in April, 1909, while oats and grain are off. Probably the greatest development is the decline in the price of corn, which has caused cheaper sta pies. As it is fed to hogs, pork is naturally off. Wheat, which sold at $1.44A in April, 1909 is now going for $1.10 bushel.

 In England during the reign Of Henry VIII. the public mind becRme greatly excited through several cases Of poisoning, and parliament enacted a law making boiling to death the pen alty. This lew was on thu gtUtuts books about sixteen y8aEA It was made retroactive. so aS to take in Q case that. chiefly prcnaP4sd its enact ment-thAt of Richard Roase, OthsF- wise Coke, the bishop o9 RocheGteE'B cook, who poisoned sSvGHtegn peEBouC, two of whom d1ed- C0sEs was boGlGd at Rochester The 1u&sctf0n was at- tended with peculiar cruelty, a9 Coke was put into a caldrOn. of cold water and gradually cooked to deG4h.
 A few years later, in AER1ch, 1EG2. Q young woman named Margaret DaVy was punished in a similar way on con vict1on of poisoning. The public was not satisfied as to her guilt, and, not withstandtng the comparatively slow travel of news in those days. the story of Margaret Davy's trial ana punish ment soon spread through the king dom and aroused universal horror. Boiling to death remained on the stat ute books, however, as long as Henry reigned, perhaps because the monarch himself had dread of being poisoned after his death iparlia- ment repealed the law.

After All His TrauhLs.

Two men we're hurrytng along Park row when the wind seemed to be blow ing from all directions to the peril of umbrellas and anything not firmly an- chored. One of them noticed the ham dle of wrecked umbrella which had been thrown into the street along with many others and, stopping to pick it up, remarked to his companion that it was too good to pass. As he stopped gust of wind captured his hat, and it went spinning along toward St. PauPs chapel, he after it. He ran into man, slipped. fell in the mud and arose in time to see his hat run over by a truck. At a nearby restau- rant, where he was drying his clothes, he said: sSI lost a five dollar hat and spoiled a suit of clothes for the handle of thirty cent umbfella. That would not be so bad, but see the handle is broken.''-New York Tribune.

THE BAMBoo HAIR.
A Slow buE Sure Poison That Is Uood
 by tho Japansss.

A Slow but Sure Poison That Co Uood
 by tho Ja%aness.
 The young shoots of the bamboo are covered with a number Of very 6ae hairs that are seen under the micro scope to be hollow and spiked hl<e bayonets. These hairs are commonly called bamboo poison by the white men resident in Java for the reason that murder is frequently committed through their agency.
 When a Javanese woman cakes Q fancy to a European, ac0rR5ing to an official Dutch report, she will either have him or poison him if she geGa the chance. She seeks any and every Op- portunity of mixing these 1nhn1tesimal hairs among his food, and they serve the purpose of irritating the whole length of the alimentary canal and set ting up malignant dysentery. It may take a long time and many doses of this so called poison to effect the puF- pose, but the native woman does not tire, and death will surely result The male native will also try this method of revenge for an affront.
 The planters know all this and dread the bamboo hair, but it is al- ways difficult to determine whether the dysentery is caused by the poison or comes about naturally. When a planter finds himself prey to attacks of that complaint his best course ts to take a voyage to Europe-PearsOn's Weekly

To Furnish the System the Necessary Fluids to Drive Dyspepsia
 From the Stomach

You should give to your stomach the chemicals it needs to restore tone, vigor and health to the gastric fluids.
 Food contains all these ingredients so necessary. and when the stomach is in a normal condition it separates these ingredients as it should and manufactures it's own digestive agents, but when it is sick and sore, filled with acids and a1ka1ines that irritate ev- erything they come in contact with, it does not get at the food as it should and cannot make it's own juices cor rect1y.
 Science has proven just what is most necessary to the stomach to pro make of digestion naturally pleas ant duty
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are so made as to give the stomach the high est chemical properties to aid deges- ton. These tablets are made up from pure fruit and vegetable es- sences, and this is the formula: lily drastis, Golden Seal, Lactose, Nux, Aseptic Pepsin (the highest digestive known), and Jamaica Ginger. Its prtparation peculiarly preserves the full strength of these ingredients. so that they go into the stomach strong and capable of digesting food of any character. Forty thousand p1ysi- clans use and prescribe them. Ask your doctor his opinion of the form u1a above. Every druggist sells them, price 50 cents per box, or send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Ad- dress F. A. Stuart Co, 150 Stuart Building, Marshall, Mich.

Curious Remedies.

In some parts of England one of the best cures for 8 swollen neck is to draw a snake nine times across the throat of the suffering one, after which the snake is killed and it's skin sewed in a silken 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 a rose bush, and as the helpless snake de cays the swelling in the neck of the patient will disappear.
