THE CAR AND THE HIGHWAY.

Nothing has given so forceful an impetus to the movement for road building as the automobile" writes T'haddeus s. Dayton in Harper's Weekly. Millions of dollars are be- ing spent upon state roads. "The time is not far distant when the fed eral government will step in and aid In their construction. There is a bill before congress for an ocean-to-ocean highway, which shall have a right of way a mile wide. The highway proper is to be 1,430 feet wide, Along this will be roads with a macadam surface, steel tracks for electric cars, steel-plate tracks for fast automobiles, and cement ways for motor cars going less than twen- ty-fve miles an hour. It is planned to have this highway follow the thir- ty-ifth parallel of latitude"

COUP OF GREAT COLLECTOR
How Charles Werthelmer Bought Fur nished House In Order to Get
 Priceless Chinese Vase.

The late Charles Wertheimer when asked on one occasion what he con- sidered to be his astutest business coup, thought for while and then told how once when he was walking through a Brighton square he espied through an open window what he knew to be priceless Chinese vase. He went to the nearest postoffice, ex- amined local directory and found the name of the resident. Then he called and asked for the gentleman and was shown into the study under the name of 'SHamilton. He briefly explained that he was looking for a modest house in Brighton and had taken a fancy to this one. Would the gentleman entertain an offer for the place as it stood-"lock, stock and barrel?" The owner, a little nonplused, hesitated. "If your of fer Is reasonable, interrupted Ham, ilton," q will give you an extra thousand" "Call tomorrow at 10 80 then," replied the owner. :'Hamil- ton" did and found him prepared to accept f18,000 for the twenty-two years unexpired term and the con- tents of the residence.
 Although this was well over mar ket vulue, Hamilton" at once closed, adding the extra thousand, according to promise. As, however, he after ward sold the vase for f35,000, his coup was unmistakable.

You can help to keep of sagging cheeks if you will only "think young Never allow the cheek mus cles to droop for q single instant. Pleasant thoughts help the muscles as well as tbe mind, At night mas sage the relaxed muscles back into place with a good ointment. Sleep on your back without pillow at night, and if this does not do, tie up the chin in a chin belt. It will hold up the relaxed muscles until your cheeks<return to a firmer con- tour.

THE TEA DRINKERS.

The chronic tea drinkers of this country are generally the kitchen girls and women who remain in the kitchen and in the house a great deal. The teapot is constantly on the stove and the strong stale brew full of tannic acid and bitter extrac- tives is poured into the stomach At frequent intervals. Here we get not only the stimulation of the cuff fein, but the irritation of the tannin derivatives on the stomach mucous membrane. The sooner or later re- suit is sleeplessness, and irritable fretty disposition, nervous dyspepsia, or even gastritis, and constipation. Of course, the treatment is to stop the cause, treat the insomnia, dys- pepsia and constipation, and give fresh air Tea tasters show earlier than other individuals decay of the teeth.

FIGHTING FOR WIFE AT 90
Aged Turkoman, Taken Prisoner by kurds, Was Grained by Woman
 He Had Captured.

Describing a feature of fight be- tween Iurkomans and Kurds ill Per sia, traveller says: "The Turko- mans, who always fight on foot, were ultimately defeated with heavy loss, and many prisoners were taken and still more captiyes were released. Among the Turkoman prisoners was an old man of ninety, who said that he had joined the expedition in order to secure a new wife The damsel in question came up during the in- terrogatory and brained her captor with a stonel During these raids, past and present, the Turkoman ap- peared to have enjoyed great and permanent advantage, in that nei- ther Kurd nor Persian ever carried off their women, owing to their ugli- ness. The Turkoman, on the other hand, preferred Persian to their own women, and thus had keen incen- tive, apart from the purely commer- cial aspect, to engage in these forays, in which no mercy was ever shown to the aged or weary"
