When | first took up my residence
in Singapore one OF the strangest
things | saw was a number Of lizards
that crawled about the walls, says the
London Telegraph. My first few days
were spent in one Of the largest and
most up to date hotels, and | thought
it strange that such things should be
allowed "the run Of the house"
On making inquiries, learned that
these little animals were called Chi
haks," and are necessity in every
house, as they do no harm to anything
or anybody except the numerous in
sects mosquitoes included that all
tropical countries are plagued with.
The chihak is treated with the. great
est respect, and some of them are
quite tame. There is one little fellow
always on our dining table, and an
other can always be found under fell
low boarder's inkstand. The boarder
being a "hraw Scot" has christened
his little friend "Wee Jock"

SINCERE STATEMENT
FROM RELIABLE. CITIZEN

Your window display in the store Of
Mr.. K. J. Sweeney here, reminded me
that my family owed debt of graft
tude to your wonderful preparation
for kidney trouble.
A few years ago my wife suffered
from a general breakdown in health.
She was troubled continually with,
backache and suffered severely fron
nervousness and loss of appetite.
We tried several preparations ans
had the services of different physi'
clans who prescribed for her, but she
could not obtain any permanent re-
lief from their treatment.
At the time / was connected with
the drug business and had heard So
many people speak highly of DIR. Kill

try it.
My wife had only been taking ii
short time when she felt much i'm
proved. We continued it's use for
some time until she felt entirely we'll
and was hundred per cent better in
every way.
Since that time she has had no re-
turn of the trouble. We always keep
Swamp Root in the house and find ir
wonderful tonic as well as great
kidney medicine.
We want to thank you sincerely for
the benefits derived from its use ana
shall never hesitate to recommend 1t
to our friends. Yours very truly,

WHY WOMEN LIVE LONGER
Physicians AscrIbs Fact TO = More
Sheltered Existence, for One
Thing.

Though doctors have long realized
that. thanks to a better knowledge or
sanitation and personal hygiene. peo-
pie are living longer than formerly.
the much greater relative longevity
OF women, as shown in the recently
published national debt Offices re-
port on the mortality OF government
life annuitants, has come as general
surprise.
In a summary OF these figures 1t
was shown that the expectation OF
life of a woman of fifty is now more
than a year greater than 1t was In
1875, while that OF a man Of the same
age Is only about three months
greater.
Discussing the reasons of our in
creasing longevity, and in particular
woman's stronger hold on life. physi-
clans at st. Bartholomew hospital
advanced widely different theories.
"The essential cause OF DEATH" one
stated, rs a wearing out from over
work Of our brain cells. Women may
be Just as brainy as men. but they
do not work their brain cells as Wig
orously or as continuously as do their
men relatives. II they did there
would not be so great disparity in
the length Of life OF the two sexes"
Another consultant put down wom-
ans greater expectation OF life to the
more sheltered existence she leads
and the lack OF physically depressing
competition which Is part Of nearly
every mans life. "a woman may
have hard work to do" he explained
"but, except for the few who work In
Offices or who follow professions, they
work in their own homes, and at q
pace they set for themselves. The
home Is also as a rule vastly more
airy, sunny. and generally more whole
some than is her husbands shop ol

Influence of the CInematograph.

A striking illustration OF the infiu'
ence of the ubiquitous cinematograph
is reported by the United States con-
sulate at Belgrade, Servia. American
fashions have recently hecome very
popular with the young men OF
that city, there Is an unprecedent'
ed demand at the local shops for hats.
boots, and other wearing apparel sim
liar to that in vogue in the United
States: and the American style OF
hair cutting has come into favor.
These innovations are unmistakably
the result of the exhibition Of moving
pictures Of American origin. The OBJ
vious moral Of all this. as the consul
points out, Is that the cinematograph
might be used to great advantage in
advertising all kinds OF American
products. For instance, pictures OF
American agricultural machinery In
operation would probably create a
great demand for the thing itself. This
~lan offers an economical substitute
for the actual exhibition Of American
~roducts in commercial museums and
the like.

There are two clubs in New York
that are designed to reduce the cost of
fresh reading matter. One is com.

cents month and have the use of
all the best magazines, which are

THE FAIR IRISH MAID"

Justin Huntly Mccarthy writes in his happiest vein when he deals with Irish character and romance, as his later novels have abundantIy shown His new novel. The Fair Irish Maid iS set in d timS-the beginning of the nineteenth century-which gives the author many favorable opportunities His imagination revels in this. the period of Beau BrummeL The Fair Irish Maid" has just been published by the Harpers.
 There is much native poetry and feeling in the story of the Irish maid $ humble but happy way of life among poor folk on the coast of Kerry, of her sudden rise to fortune, and her daZZ- ling career in London. Grania O'Hara comes of high blood. though her fam ily has been impoverished, and she holds her home through the cOntemp- tuous tolerance of Lord ClOyne, the local proprietor. She has lover. Den his Tirowen-called Dennis of the sweet mouth because of his skill in poetry and music-but although Ora nia loves him he feels that sne is be- yond his. reach, since he is only the son of well-to-do farmer, while she is an OHdra. He has written a play, however. and he sets off with 1t to London. hoping to rival the tame of Tom Moore. and thus lift himself to the level of his lady's lips.
 Fortunate comes to Grania in the guise of a New York lawyer. who tells her of great wealth which she has in heritcd from an uncle who emigrated to America. Conveyed by Lord and Lady ClOyne. she goes to Paris and thence to London, where she becomes all the rage.
 The depraved and brilliant London society of the time is portrayed in col orful scenes, and the reader catches glimpses of many notables. including the Prince Regent Lord Byron. and Beau Brummel At | the same time Crania grows in character and charm. When Dennis Tirowen's spirit is brok er by failure she rescues him. q ragged outcast, from the streets. brings him into the midst of her fashionable life, and secretly arranges for the prOduc tion of his play. The story is swift in action, and its climax holds a surprise quite characteristic of Mir. Mccarthy's ingenuity.
 The Fair Irish Maid" is a light hearted comedy. with winning sen timental appeal
