FINGER PRINTS.

The French have hit upon new
idea for the making of finger prints.
Instead of rubbing the fnger-ends
with ink and making impressions
upon paper, the X-ray is used.
The finger is first busted with a
fine powder of bismuth, and then an
X-ray picture is taken of it. The
picture shows not only the ridged
convolutions of the skin texture but
also the terminal bones of the digit.
These bones are not exactly alike
in any two human beings and thus
Identification is rendered much
easier.-Philadelphia Ledger.

COMPARATIVE VALUES.

A Pennsylvania man had just lost
his faithful COW. His wife became so
grieved over the loss that her heart
was broken, and she, too, died.
Scarcely was she buried when one
of the neighbors came and offered
his daughter, another his sister and
third his niece for wife, Where
upon the bereaved man made re-
sponse:
well, | can easily see that it is
better to lose wife than COW in
this place. As soon as my wife is
dead choice of half dozen wives
is offered me, but when my cow died
they didn't offer me single one"

why Suffer from Rheumatism.

Do you know that nine out OF
every ten cases of rheumatism
are simply rheumatism of the
muscles or choronic rheumatism,
neither of which require any in
