The Great. Silent Men.

Carlyle in his analysis of the char
acter of Cromwell in Heroes and He
TO Worship" has something to say in
praise of silence. To him it was an
attribute of greatness. He says: The
great, silent men! Looking round on
the noisy inanity of the world, words
with little meaning, actions with little
worth, one loves to reflect on the
great Empire of Silence. The noble
silent men, scattered here and there.
each in his own department; silently
thinking; silently working; whom no
morning newspaper makes mention Of
They are the salt of the earth. A coun'
try that has none or few of these is
in a bad way. Like a forest which
had no roots, which had turned all
into leaves and boughs-which must
soon wither and be no forest. Woe
for us if we had nothing but what
we can show or speak"

Advice Of a Book Collector.

And hear me. If you would know
the delight of book-collecting begin
With something else. / care not what.
Book-collecting has all of the advan-
tages of other hobbies without their
drawbacks. The pleasure of acquisi-
ton is common to all, that's where the
sport lies, but the strain of the posses
sion of books is almost nothing; a
tight, dry closet will serve to house
them if need be.
1t is not so with flowers. They are a
constant care. Someone once wrote a
poem about "old books and fresh flow
ers." 1t lifted about very nicely; but |
remark that books stay old, indeed get
older, and flowers do not stay fresh; a
little too much rain, little too much
sun, and it is all over.
Pets die too, in spite of constant
perhaps by reason Of it. To
quiet teething dog | once took him,
her, it, to my room for the night and
slept soundly. Next morning l found
that the dog had committed suicide by
jumping out of the window.-A. Ed
ward Newton, in Atlantic.

why COLD TURNS HANDS BLUE
Veins Become Filled With Blood That
Is Impure, Its Color Being
Purplish.

The hands or other parts of the body
appear blue because the veins which
are near the surface are filed with
impure blood, which is purplish in
color. A normal, healtAful circula-
ton means that warm red blood flows
freely through the arteries, and this
is returned to the heart through the
lungs by way of the veins, which carry
only used-up blood, or what is left of
the good, red blood when the arteries
are through with it. The color is
purplish blue.
Full, uninterrupted circulation of
the warm red blood is what keeps the
body warm. When the hands are blue
it means that circulation of good, red
blood has practically stopped-that it
is not flowing from the heart through
the arteries in sufficient quantity, and
there is no color in the arteries, as the
blood from them has gone into the
veins. Then the hands will look blue
because the veins are full of pur-
plish blue blood, and there are a great
many veins in the hands close to the
surface.

MILWAUKEE, SUFFERER

z.n Rehiine Gave Up Hope Before He
Found Remedy-Happy Now.

Pen F. Behling of $50 Louis avenue.
milwaukee, was a sufferer from mala-
5ies of the stomach and digestive tract
for a long time. He gave up hope.
At last he discovered Mayrs Won
derful Remedy. He took dose just
70 try it. The results were remark
able. He wrote:
81 was in such bad condition that l
had given up hope of ever getting we'll
again. / sent to you for one dose of
YOUR remedy and took it the same day
YOU sent it. 1t has worked wonder
fully. / took five more bottles, one
each week. / am now a new man
again. / thank you a thousand times

Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per-
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and

REFUSED TO EAT MATCHES
Experiment Proved That Rats and
Mice Have Been Unjustly Accused
of Causing Fires.

Rats, mice and matches have long
been considered a source of fires. An
investigator, however, after extensive
experiment, reports, in Safety En-
cheering, that there is no real founda-
ton for the popular idea. A large num-
Der of rats we're caught at different
times and confined in cages with the
ends open for observation. Matches
were then placed in the cages, but no
food, and the rats were left in a quiet
spot in cellar. In every case the ami
mails starved to death or ate their COM
panions. Not a match head or splint
was gnawed. The matches were well
seasoned and Of different varieties
from the strike-on-the-box to the
double-tip and the common parlor
match. A second series of tests was
conducted in cage measuring more
than six feet square. The results
were the same.
In all cases the rats were without
food from two to three days, then the
matches were introduced and the rats
died from starvation within one to FIVE
days after. Like experiments were
conducted with mice and the same re-
suits obtained, the mice being hungry
