OBSERVATIONS. (By “Doc"] A man can backslide at twice the speed he can go ahead. The Sympathetic Soul always has a’full stock of Polite Lies. An overdone jolly is just as un- appetizing as an unexpected roast. My son, remember the higher up you climb the farther you can fall. You can waste a lot of time listen- ing to people tell you how smart they are. Girls, before you marry a man to reform him study his list of New Year’s resolutions. The ordinary man always has something to brag about, even if it is only something his grandfather did. Optimism: smiling at the troubles of others. Pessimism: wondering why others don’t sigh over your troubles. Acting on the theory of “taking a fellow his own size,” there is nothing in the country for Mr. Taft to punch at but the trusts. The present ruler of the district around Mount Ararat has ordered a moter boat. Gracious! hasn’t the flood dried up there yet? When a man is sick he never gets a chance to discuss his symptoms, because his wife insists on telling every caller how much sleep she loses. The man who uses an old-fashioned razor always moves to another seat when the man who uses a safety razor begins telling how easily he shaves himself in thirty seconds. —— Crushing the Curate. One of the first tasks they set the new curate, who was bandicapped by youth and inexperience, was to investl- gate the bona fides of a “widow wo- man” who had applied to the church for help. He departed nervously on bis errand and knocked, as il luck would have it, at the wrong door. “How long has your poor husband . been dead, my good woman? What number of children have you? Are any of them working? If so, what amount of money are they earning altogether?” were the questions he fired, ltke shots from a revolver, at the slatternly woman who answered his summons. “I presume I am ad- fressing Mrs. Harrlet Smith?” he add- #d, noticing with alarm that she look- ed angry. “No, you aln’t,” answered the woman enappishly. “My name is Selina Jack- Eon, my bairns go to school and my *usband’s doin’ what is necessary to a plateful of steak and onions at this very moment. Would you like to know anything else? Where I was born? When I was baptized? At what age 1 started courtin’? Perbaps,” she con- cluded sarcastically, rollin® her tatter- ed sleeve up above the elbow, “you’d like to see my vaccination mark before you go?” But the bashful curate was already fn full flight.—Liverpool Mercury. Cautious. A five-year-old girl was very {ll, and, noticing the anxlety of her parent, she sald, “Mamma, do you think I'm going todle?” “No, my dear,” replied 't‘h‘ébmother, " “we think you will soon b'better.” “Well,” said the little:,gpe; “I'd like to die and go to heaven on a visit if I ‘was sure 1 could come back if T didn't like the place.”—Chicago News. Would “Sort Out” Chlldren and Cem- pel Them to Learn Trades. Chicago, Jan, 25.—Dr, Charles W. Fliot, president. of Haryard univer sity, advocated in a public address that American boys and girls be “sort- ed out” by agents of authority, teach- ers perhaps, and forced by law to study trades assigned to them. Dr. Eliot’s ideas caused a sensation at the banquet of the Natlonal Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education held at the Auditorium. Here is what Dr. Eliot said: “1 assert that it is perfectly proper to enact laws which will give the '| teachers the authority to sort out the boys and girls, assign to each the trade at which he or she seems best adapted and the law should then com- pel these children to be trained for these trades. “This sentiment I see has already Impressed some of you as being un- democratic. T think that it s not so. Democracy is based on a theory that all men are equal; all men are not equal and never can be; men of prac- tical mind have long set aside that platitude for what it is worth. “And as men are not equal 8o are children yet less equal. We see how in a single family with the same heredity, the same environment, the same opportunities, brothers and sis- ters enter widely divergent strata of society by natural difference. “Thus I find that nature often ocon- flicts with what idealists regard as democracy’s prineiples and when na- ture and democracy clash democracy is the loser.” Alleged Crook Conf: 8. St. Cloud, Mtnn, Jan. 35.—A con- fession has been secured from one of the three men implicated in the sheot- Ing of Policemen Becker. The man who gave the story to the police gave his name as George Gale, twermy vears old, and said that he lived in St. Paul. He gave the names of his companions as John Green and Fraik Williams. He sald that Willlams was a well known Chicago croek and was the instigator as well as the man who fired the shots at Beoler. Due to Coal Gas Asphyxiation. Milwaukee, Jan. 25.—Herman g macher returned to his home to fhid his grandmother dead, asphygiated with coal gas, and his father dyins. An open 14d on a coal stove permitted the fatal fumes to fill the rooms a.d the two people both lay in an umcon- scious state until the son returned from an all night’s absence from home to discover the fact.

RHEUMATISM SAID TO BE EASILY GURED Science Proves it a Symptom of Feeble Kidneys Which Don't Filter Acids. Recent hospital reports show that the dread disease, rheumatism, is steadily increasing throughout the country. All known means of relief are being suggested to save the great amount of suffering this win- ter, especially those who are not in a -position to pack up and visit the noted health resorts to be treat- ed. Recent tests prove rheumatism not exactly a disease in itself, but a severe symptom of kidney trou- ble, a condition caused by clogged up pores- of the eliminative tissues in the kidneys which fail to hlter the poisonous waste matter and uric acid from the blood, permitting these substances to remain in the veins and decompose, usually set- ting about the joints and muscles, causing the intense pain, swelling and stiffness of rheumatism. A well-known specialist, who has probably treated more cases of rheumatism than anyone else and who is almost the most success- ful, gives the following simple treat- ment, which is harmless and inex- pensive, and so simple _thatany- one can mix it at home. The ingredients are: Fluid Ex- tract Dandelion,one-half ounce;Com- pound ,Kargon, one ounce; Com- pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Go to any good prescrip- tion ‘pharmacy and get these three vegetable ingredients and mix them by shaking in a bottle, tak- ing as a dose a teaspoonful after each meal and again at bedtime. There is nothing better in the world for backache, kidney and bladder trouble, too. Such symp- toms as frequent and painful uri- nations, soreness, weakness, general and nervous”;debility are caused by certain acids and poisonous waste matter, decayed tissue, etc, in the blood, which the kidneys will clear and purify after a few doses of this prescription.

Jan. | Animal Instinct. . A friend of mine saw two cats proaching each other on the top of a board fence. There was no room for them to pass each other, and he won- dered what would happen. When they were near each other one of them stopped, turned around and retreated till it cam'e to another board fence that Joined at right angles the one they were on. The cat stepped off on this fence and waited there till the other went by. My friend thought this act showed an appreciation of the problem beyond the reach of instinct. No doubt those cats had wmet before, and one ‘was master of the other. What more natural than that the defeated cat should retreat before the superlor and when it came to the other fence step off upon it and let the victor pass? The action involved no mental process any more than when two inert bodies in motion meet each other and one glves way. There was no other course open to the cat. If she or he had turned back and taken-to the side fence solely to accommodate the other cat, why, that were another matter. The Gordon setter that met a train of cars upon a railroad bridge and stepped down upon one of the timbers of the bridge and stood there while the train passed gave no proof of rea- soning powers. It was the only thing the dog could do. Nearly all animals know enough to get out the way of danger. If they did not, what would become of the race of animals?—John Burroughs in Outing Magazine. Old Roman Laws. The old Roman laws, according to Colquhoun, conferred on the husband complete empery over the wife. All she owned or earned was vested in him, and he acquired the same rights over her person and property as if. she were his natural daughter. The wife, on the other hand, acquired all the rights to a child and to her husband’s name and succession in the event of an intestate estate, and she could exer- cise all the privileges to which her sex admitted.” The power of the ancient Roman father over his offspring was originally perpetual, mnor could the child be emancipated from the fa- ther’s control during the father's life except by that parent’s consent, nor did he become sui juris until the fa- ther (being himself sui juris) died, when the son was emancipated by the simple operation of the law. In those brave days the father had legal per- mission ‘to scourge his children or to send “them, fettered- like slaves, to| work on his estate or even to kill them, choosing whatsoever means for their taking.off be thought proper. How the Brahman Cleans His Teeth. ‘When the Brahman cleans his teeth he must use a small twig cut from one of a number of certain trees, and be- fore he cuts it he must malke his act known to the gods of the woods. He must not indulge in this cleanly habit every day. He must abstain on the sixth, the eighth, the ninth, the four- teenth, the fifteenth and the last day of the moon, on the days of new and full moon, on the Tuesday in every week, on’the day of the constellation under which he was born, on the day of the week and on the day of the month which correspond with.those of his birth, at an eclipse, at the conjunc- tion of the planets, at the equinoxes and other unlucky epochs and also on the anniversary of the death of his fa- ther or mother. Any one who cleans his teeth with his bit of stick on any of the above mentioned days will have hell as his portion. — “Hindoo Man- uers,” by Abbe Dubois. The Way to the Station. A party of automobilists was tour- ing through Virginia. An accident to the car forced them to take a train home. As they walked down the road seeking some one from whom they could inquire their way they met an old darky, says the Success Magazine. “Will you kindly direct us to the rail- road station?’ one of the party asked. “Cert'n’y, sir,” he responded. “Keep a-goin’ right down dis road till yo' gets to where two mo' roads branches out. Den yo' take de lef’ one an’ keep on a-goin’ tlll yo' gets to where de ole postoffice uster be.” . Creative. A certain man coming from abroad was taken up by the smart set. “We'll make a lion of him,” quoth they, “for the distinction he will there- upon reflect upon us.” But the man was too little. much material to make a lion. “Then we'll make a monkey of him,” said the smart set, determined to have some exercise for their creative genius.

There is a story told of a very talka- tive lady who met with a well de- served rebuke at a social gathering not long ago. Her husband is a man of high standing in the world of science, but tke lady regards him as a dreamer of impossible dreams. “Do you know,” she remarked, “that genius and imbe- cllity are twin brothers? The world regards John as a genlus. Now, there are times when I believe him to be an tdiot.” A painful silence followed, broken by a blunt old doctor who had over- heard the remark. “Are we to understand, madam,” he sald, “that Professor Y., though your husband, 15 so lightly esteemed by you?’ “I say what I think,” she retorted. “At times John is unmistakably an fdiot.” “Merely because he is your hus- band?” - “sirt” “Oh, very well,” was the grim re- Joinder. “We will put it another way: He is your husband because he is an idiot. Will that do?’ — Pearson’s Weekly. The Folklore of Puss. Puss has earned the reputation of belng weatherwise. Good weather may be expected when “tabby” washes her- self, but bad when she licks herself against the grain or sits with her tail to the fire. _Former], tland when a family ouse to anothier the family cat was always taken as a pro- tection against disease. It is curious to find the opposite practice obtaining in Ireland, where it is considered high- ly unlucky for a family to take with them a cat when they are “flitting,” especially so if they have to cross a river. There is a popular belief that a cat born in the month of May is of no use whatever for catching rats and mice, but exerts an injurious influence on the house through bringing into it disagreeable reptiles of various kinds, says Woman’s Life. In Scotland black cats are supposed to bring not only good luck, but also lovers, in {llustration of which may be quoted the well known rhyme: ‘Whenever the cat o' the house is black, ‘The lasses o’ lovers will have no lack.

Why is break fast not ready?” “Well, sir,” replied Mrs, Perkins, “I got a nice bit of fish for you, but I'm sorry to say, sir, the cat’— “Confound the cat! Then let me have the cold chicken.” “I regret to say, sir, the cat’— “Well, then, some eggs.” “There are no eggs, sir; the cat”— “Hang it all, then cook the cat, and we'll have it all at once!”—London Mail. 20 years experience . asa SPECIALIST DR.
