The overwrought Nerves.

Fresh air will string up any group of
nerves not hopelessly demora!ized.
When you feel that flying to pieces"
inclination overtaking you, jerk your.
self to order with the check rein of
determination and then. If you cannot
regain self-control, stop anything on
earth you may be doing and go out OF
doors. II you cannot leave the home,
lean out of a window, or step for a lit.
tie while on a porch. You will not
lose any time-you will, in fact, gain
time by increasing efficiency in what.
ever you may be doing. Sleep also is
a great restorer Of nerves to a normal
tene, and sleeping with all windows
open secures for us two nerve cures
at the same time. In foods. raw on
ions. carrots, lettuce and celery. with
plenty of olive Gil, are excellent nerve
foods, all valuable as aids in the good
work, but the chief remedy is strong
will and the compelling Of your bod,
TO obey your mind.

FINE POINT ABOUT THE LAW
Raised by the Decision of
Learned Judge.

Suppose you owned a dog and q
neighbor asked the courts to compel
you TO keep II from barking and yelp-
ing day and night interfering with
his business and causing him and his
family loas Of sleep, and suppose the
court handed down a decree requiring
you to restrain your dog from bark
ing. yelping and bowling. except in
cases of burglary or fire." how would
you set about obeying the order?
II you fix It so the dog cannot bark
at all and burglars invade your domi-
cile or fire breaks out and the dog
cannot bark, you may be robbed or
murdered in peril by disobeying the
Injunction that your restraint of the
barking. yelping and bowling shall ex-
tend only to those periods when there
Is no burglary or fire. For the order
expressly limits your right to restrain
any barking. yelping and bowling
aforesaid by those exceptions.
Must you sit up nights and look out
for burglars and fires and be ready to
remove your restraint OF the dogs
yocalization when either or both ap-
pear?
Yes, you might get rid OF the dog,
OF course. but there Is nothing said
about that. The law does not prohib-
1t you keeping the dog. All It is con-
cerned about is that you shall not al.
low the dog to become q nuisance
You have to place It under restraint.
But you can at least congratulate
yourself that, unlike the trusts, you
do not have to worry about what con-
stitutes reasonable restraint because
there's not a word about reasonable.
ness IN the law. All you have to do
is TO restrain the animal from bark
Ing, yelping and bowling. except in
cases of burglary or fire. The excep-
tion may. It is true. seem unreason-
able. but the law is made to be obeyed
somehow and 1t leaves 1t to you to
nnd out how.

MARKED BY MUCH COURTESY
Transaction In English Country Store
Caused Reflection on Part Of
Boston Woman.

Letting a boy buy eggs in an Eng
lishe country store brought home to a
Boaton woman the barbarian blunt
ness of her own townsmen.
The boy was aged about six, and
he wanted three eggs" she said. pic.
ture the transaction in Boston store.
In bounces the boy, slaps down the
money. and shouts: Gimme three
egss;' the tradesman answers All
right or maybe nothing at all, and
the deal is closed. Not SO in that
English store.
Quietly the boy sidled up to the
counter. From the other side a gray
haired grocer beamed upon him be-
nevolently, and said, Thank your in
quiringly.
Three eggs. II you please said
the boy.
"Thank you.' said the grocer, and
put the eggs into paper bag
The boy received the bag with an.
other Thank you,' and Thank you,'
replied the grocer when he took the
money. That required making change,
which was effected with another in.
terchange Of Thank you's.' just count
the civilities: Six thank yous' and
one OF you please to buy three eggs.
In Boston you could do weeks mar.
keting on less courtesy"

Friendly Tip to an Arcbttee.

Ollie James, who is soon to be the
new senator from Kentucky, is well
known for two reasons in Washing,
ton. One is his perfectly, artistically
and entirely bald head The other is
the admiration and esteem In which
he is held by Handsome Tom Hetiin
a member of congress from Alabama
Il tell you," said Hetiin, one even
hg, to crowd, ollie is a fine feI
bw. What's more, he's self-made. and
he deserves a lot of credit for that
Think OF 1t! He started out with
hothing but his brains, and now he's
sbout to be made senator. A self
made senator!"

member OF the group, 'if he made
himself, and did such a laundering

AN IDLE SON OF THE RICH
How Fathers Money Was Running
Stomach and Digestion Of
Pampered Fool.

DR.. ]. N. Hurry, secretary of the
state board of health, told of a young
man he saw in dining car on a re-
cent trip from New York
He was evidently one OF the idle
sons Of the new and very rich," said
DR.. Hurry. He sat at the table
across from me. and prolonged my
dinner just to watch him. He first
had a cocktail and then some raw
oysters. a special pick for which he
tipped the steward generously. Re
cefved, he salted them heavily, then
peppered them as heavily. Then he
covered them with tabasco sauce and
finally with catsup. With these he
ate some dill pickles. Then he went
down the course with two kinds OF
meat, done very rare; two kinds of
salads. with pastries, hot bread and
two kinds of dessert, and much more,
all served in courses, topped off with
q pot Of two or three cups OF coffee,
followed by a cigarette He was
young and his face was covered with
those little pimples, signs that the din
ner he was consuming was not an un.
usual one.
AL the while he watched me and
others in the car from the corner OF
his eye, to see how we we're takinC
him. don't know whether he read
my thoughts or not A half dozen old
er men, myself included. who had
learned from experience, were eating
simple food, and plying the poor
pampered fool whose fathers money
was running his stomach. Two OF us
left the dining car together. The 9th

HAVE PRIVILEGE or cREATlo.
Consolation for Women Who Do Not
Enjoy All the Advantages They
See Others Have.

Women are taught very wrongly
about love. They are allowed to read
love stories at tender age and form
a totally fatal notion of love.
They see themselves as charmers at
a very early age. They begin trying
to captivate, to charm. to enslave the
opposite sex, before they are out of
the nursery. They live and die
many. many of them-without ever in
the least understanding the truth
about love or. in fact, about anything
else.
Women are very envious by nature.
There seems to be plenty of justifica.
tion in this one way you look at It.
Why should one woman have luxury,
ease. travel society and fine clothes
and another woman have only toll
and loneliness and privation?
This Is useless question. We
cannot explain the inequalities of life,
but there is an answer to the woman
who asks this question. II is this: !:
The more barren the field the greater
the privilege Of creation. You have
a chance to see what you can find by
the way of Joy and beauty; you have
an opportunity to create your own at.
mosphere and 1t can be q very lovely
one IL you learn the secret of making
1t so.-Pittsburg Leader.

Man and the Mammoth.

The skeleton of a mammoth discoy'
cred in the department of Pas de Ca.
lais. France. measures 49h feet In
length. The head is well preserved
with finely enameled molars of the
true Siberian type. thus furnishing one
more proof that the whole country was
once land of ice and snow. At din
ner given recently on sand-bar In the
Danube an attempt was made to con
vey an idea of the fcod consumed y
man In the time of the mammoth. Cab
bage soup cooked over hot stone
horse ham, roast pork with boiled
miilet and turnips cooked in hot ashes
composed the bill of fare. The dessert
was dried pears and honey.-Harper's

Curious superstItIons.

Some curious superstitions gathered
around ever SO eminently practical q

be the custom to throw a handful oil
salt and little dry malt into the
mash to keep the witches from II: and
the cautious housewife. 10 houses
where they brewed their own beer
used to throw live coal into the vat
to save the liquor from the frolicsome
Interference of fairies. The addition
OF salt. by the way, to keep beer In
the course of brewing, was supposed
to be for the unholy purpose of ex.
