HAVE YOU TRIED PAXTlM:
The Great Toilet Germiclde7

You don't have to pay soc CT S1.9G ] pint for Historian antiseptics Or pc-- oxide. You can make l6 pints of a, mere cleansing, germicidal, healing and deodor- tzing antiseptic solution with one 25o box of Paxtine,-a soluble antiseptiG powder, obtainable at any drug store.
 Paxtine destroys germs that cause disease, decay and odors,-that is why it is the best mouth wash and gargle, and why it purifies the breath, cleanses and preserves the teeth better than ordina:y y dentifrices, and in sponge bathing it co.l- pletely eradicates precipitation and other disagreeable body odors. Every dainty woman appreciates this and it's many other toilet and hygienic uses.
 Paxtine is splendid for sore throat, infiamed eyes and to purify mouth anl breath after smoking. You can get Pax tine Toilet Antiseptic at any drug store, price 25c and soc, or by mail postpaid from The Paxton Toilet Co.,, Boston, Mass, who will send you a free sample if you would like to try it before buying.

Origin or Coal,

Coal Is of vegetable origin. When vegetable matter accumulates under water 1t undergoes a slow process of decomposition, giving off its nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and some carbon, the result of which if carried far enough is the formation of mass of carbon. Peat. found often in swampy tracts, is the first stage in the coal forming process, and the further stHgos ire formed by the burial of these vegetable deposits under great .oads af sediment. where they become tibjeet to pressure and sometimes to hra.. This effects n series of changea consolidation and loss of oxygen and gives a series of products whose na, t.!"a t4epends on t',o 6ee.~cn to which f'tr 'r!c!nNl veCeta!'n n,atter has been charged.

Tho Salt ln tho Sea.

The Pythagoreans held that the sea was salt by reason of the tears shed by Kronos. father of Zeus According to the old Hebraic tradition, the ocean was originally great body of fresh water but which was made salt by the abundant tears of the fallen angels. One sect of Buddhists believe that Lots wife-that is to say, the pillar of salt" which was once the wife of the humble gentleman named above-lies at the bottom of the ocean in certain narrow strait and that once each year the waters of all oceans flow through that narrow channel. The Talmudic writers say that 1t was never salt until Moses wept repentance after breaking the tables of stone.

write myself down as one who stiH believes in Santa Claus. Don't you? Are you one of those very literal folk who have their doubts whether they ought to let their children cling to the beautiful old myth?
 Without imagination, without dreams, without poetry, this old world of ours would be very wearisome place. It's road would be sleeper than it is--much like sleighing over bare ground would our progress be as compared with sleightng over deep, hard packed snow.

4 CUP OF TEA.
1t Plays a Curious Part In Ch'"ese
 Business Etiquette.

When a salesman or person seeklns a business interview presents his cara at tbe entrance to Chinese mer- chants place of business the possl- bility of an audience depends alto pethcr upon how he deports htmselI while awaiting the return of the cafo bearer. Should he be so ind1screet as 10 put one foot over the twelve lheh railing that intervenes between the step and the doorway no manner ol persuasion can prevail upon the mef- chant to grant him an interview.
 In case he waits patiently in the space allotted to unknown callers this fact is noted, and he is usually ush- cred in.
 Once in, there is still more delicate matter to be disposed of, and in case the newcomer is ignorant of the GUS tom he fares ill with his errand. In mediately upon the callers enter1nG G and taking a seat servant brings q serving of tea, which includes a small cup for each person present. Inc point of etiquette demands that this tea shall not be touched until the guest is ready to depart, in case the inter view has been a pleasant one, ln wh'c1t.. case the caller is supposed to take IL and drink his tea at parting, and at this signal all the others do likewise. HoWa<af, should It so happen that the Chinaman Is ttot pleased with his call CT and is in any way annoyed by him the merchant takes up the tea aud be gins to drink at once, which act Is q direct and decided hint that the In terview is ended and has not been tO the pleasure of the merchant. The caller is then expected to take his ini mediate departure.
 When a caller has become we'll ac- quainted some of the formality is bro ken by the Chinese, and on a cold day a cup of tea is served immediate ly 10 the guest in a social way. But the formal" tea is still to be observ ed and rartakcn Of at parting. ire spectiye of the cup given to warm anG greet the caller on his arrival. This however, is done only after many wis it's, when the business dealings have been of such a nature as to warrant friendship and pitality.-Youth's Companion.

Chorus Girl Tells of Shoot

After Operation.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-while w. L.
d. Stokes, millionaire hotel proprietor,
was still in a serious, though not
critical. condition today as a result of
an operation last night for abscess of
the kidney, Ethel Conrad, one of the
girls who shot him, was on the witness
stand in the criminal court building,
telling her story Of the ARRAY.
Mr. Stokes, according to physicians,
showed remarkable recuperative powers
and his recovery Is now expected.
Miss Conrad proved herself most
peculiar witness. She acted as If be-
lieving herself the star In a melodrama.
Every move was studied, every word
prepared. She. was letter-perfect.
Some of the jury members turned their
to keep from laughing.
There was scene in the court room
yesterday when tho girl turned to ner
lawyer and asked him to make Assist
ant District 1adcs Attorney hsr Buckner stop
me laugh" she said, land this isn't
fany laughing matter to me-
Miss Conrad today proved herself an
adept witness, quick Of wit, and with
of the law, which enabled her on many
cct asfons to avoid answering questions
she did not care to answer.
she often arnealed 10 Justice Marcus
OH one of these technicalities, and
asked Must I answer ,hat?" Invari-
ably the court decided In her favor.
AS soon as she took the stand AS
sistant district httorney Bnekncr asked
her means Of livelihood She said she
had been employed a short time on the
stage, at SIS week, and later had
joined Mrs. Leslie Carters company.
Miss Conrad said she served as 4
model in department stores. and that
her brother, MaX. helped support her.
Miss Conrad denied that she ever
dined in the apartment of Pat Casey.
the theatrical manager, whose Japanese
buffers handled Stokes after he was
shot.
Miss Conrad described Stokes as he
had been described to her by Miss
Graham.
''She told me he had ruined her, that
he never paid his debts. that he never
kept a promise, and that he was a man
absolutely lacking in character" said
