[By “Doc"] A woman needs no eulogist; she speaks for herself. One way to forget other people’s faults is to remember your own. 111 humor, like chemical prepara- tions, often comes from a retort. It is impossible to drown sorrow: it has been in the swim too long. A man’s narrowness is one of the things he doesn’t want heralded broad-cast. In this world the hardest knocks we get are delivered by our supposed friends. A man should remind his wife occasionally-that a little credit is a dangerous thing. Beware of the pensive maid,young man; she is apt to develop into an expensive wife. If at the age of thirtya girl hasn’t met her ideal man she tries to idealize some man she has met. A mixture of emery powder, sweet oil and kerosine is said to be excellent for cleaning the teeth—of a saw. When a man and a wife are of one mind, it’s doughnuts to fudge that the wife ‘does nearly all the thinking. In accordance with the fitness of things there are times when the milkman should be whipped instead of the cream. Recipe For Making Money. First catch your capital, however small, or if homemade, such as from savings, so much the better. Place in a steady, secure position, where it will not be disturbed, and allow to stand. Skim off all that accrues without waste and with that at the proper season make a stiff paste of business, In which place your capital or as much of it as you can use with advantage. A little ripe judgment should be added. Season with hope and enterprise and stir briskly with a bunch of fresh energy. While your ple is cooking watch it carefully yourself and see that nothing goes wrong. Keep up a good fire until it begins to brown and don’t take too much off the top for tasting until the whole is well cooked; then enjoy the result.—London Graph- fe. Square Bullets. In 1718 an Englishman, James Puc- kle, secured a British patent for what seems to have been an attempt at a breechloading rapid firing gun. An original feature of the Invention was the use of two different breech plates, one for square bullets, to be used against the Turks, and the other for round bullets, to be used agalinst Chris- tlans. It is curious to find two oppos- ing tendencles In the same invention— first, the desire to construct a gun that should be more effective because mors destructive, and, second, a desire to recognize certain ethical distinctions in its use. If a round bullet was too good for a Turk, a square one was too bad for a Christian.—London Chronk cle. Stereotyping. It is claimed that stereotyping wasr known in 1711. It was practiced by ‘William Ged of Edinburgh about 1730. Some of Ged’s plates are to be seen at the Royal institution, London. A Mr. James attempted to iIntroduce Ged's process in London in 1735, but failed. Stereotype printing was used in Hoi- land during the last century, and a quarto Bible and a Dutch follo Bibie ‘were printed there. It was revived in London by Wilson in 1804. Sincé 1850 the durability of stereotypes has been greatly increased by electrotyping them with copper or silver. The Cure. Professor W. E. Grange, author of the “History of Primitive Love,” ai luded in the course of a lecture in Bos ton to the modern cynical view of love that prevails: “I remember once hear ing a bricklayer and a plumber discuss love. ‘I hold,’ sald the bricklayer; ‘tha¢ if you are terribly in love the way to cure yourself is to run away.’ The plumber shook his head and sneered. “That will cure you,” he said, ‘provided ¥ou run away with the eirl’” b ARE S RURAL PARCELS POST Measure of Importance to Coun= try Sections of the Nation, MERCHANDISE BY CARRIER Bill Limits Packages to Eleven Pounds Actually Mailed on Rural Delivery Routes—Distant Catalogue Houses Barred From Its Use. Washington, Feb. 1 .—Senator Burn- ham of New Hampshire has intro- duced a measure of distinet impor- tance to rural interests throughout the United States. It is a bill to pro- vide a rural parcel post for merchan- dise and other articles actually mailed on rural delivery routes. The rural free delivery routes now number more than 38,000 and on them in excess of 15,000,000 people receive a daily pos- tal service. The measure introduced by Senator |* Burnham has the endorsement of the president and Postmaster General Meyer. It provides, in brief, for the establishment of a domestic rural par- cel post, at special rate of postage, for the delivery of foodstuffs, dry goods, drugs, books and other mer- chandise. The rate of postage shall be 5 cents for the first pound and 2 cents for each additional pound or fraction thereof and on parcels weigh- ing less than one pound as follows: Two ounces or less, 1 cent; over two and under four ounces, 2 cenis: over not exceeding eight ounces, over eight and not exceeding curnces, 4 cents, and over twelve twelve ounces and under one pound, 5 certs. Bars All but Domestic Mail. Twe imporiant limitations are placed cn the uze of the proposed parcel post by the following provi- sions: “That nothing herein contained shall be taken as authorizing the ac- centance or delivery at the special rotes of postaze herein provided of any parcel offered by any person act- ing as agent or representative, upon commission or othe! , for any per- son or company not resident on such raral delivery route. “That only such parcels shall be re- ceived for delivi at the special rates of postage he provided as are of- fered by bona file merchants or deal- ers whose rezular places of businezs are on rural delivery routes covered by this act in the ordinary and reg- ular courze of their business and by residents on such voutes in their in- dividual capacity.” The bill provides that the parcels carried shall not weigh more than eleven peunds or be more than three feet six inches in length. Perishable articles will be sent at the senders’ risk and will not be accepted at any postoffice mcre than three hours be- fore the departtre cf the mail from the office. ) MANY CHANGES VI;F;BPOSED Congress Receives Rencrt of Joint Postal Commission. Washington, Feb. 1 ..—Congress has received a prelimi report of the joint commission appeinted during the last congress to investigate the busl- ness methods of the postoffice depart- ment and postal service and submit recommendations for legislation to effect charges in their administration. The commissicn, consisting of Sena- tors Penroce, Carler and Clay and Representatives Overstreet, Gardner (N. J.) and Moon, points out many ob- jectionable features to the business methods of both department and serv- ice. Chief among the recommenda- tions is a plan to place the actual di- rection of the busine:s of the post- office department and service in the hands of an officer, with necessary as- sistants_ to be aprninted by, the pres- WHEN HER BAGK AGHES A Woman Finds All Her Energy and Ambition Slipping Away.

Backache, hip pains, head- aches, dizzy spells, distressing urinary troubles, all tell of sick kidneys and warn you of " the stealthy approach of diabetes, dropsy and Bright's disease, Doan’s Kidney Pills permanently cure all these disorders. Here's proof of it in a Bemidji woman'’s words: Wrs. Edward Jewett, living at 1112 Park Ave,, Bemidji, Minn., says: “I am recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills and from my actual experience I know them to be a reliable remedy. I did not take them as carefully as I might have, but still the results received were satisfactory. The attacks always came on with a dull ache in my back, and while they were at their height I felt weak and miserable. 1 sent to The Owl Drug Store and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills.

Jnder this plan the posimaster general, as a member of the cabinet, is chargeable with gen- eral supervisory control and the de- termination of questions of policy. The commission also recommends that the business of the department be decentralized so. as to avoid the congestion at the national -capital, which impairs the efficiency and in- creases the cost of the service; that the bookkeeping, auditing and ac- counting be simplified, unified and | centralized to secure greater accuracy, { more prompt methods and eliminatior |of duplication of work; and that the practice of requiring needless detailed | reports from small postoffices be dis- 1continned. The moderate application |of the nonaccounting system to small {offices will eliminate about 30,000, or nearly one-half, of all the postoffice .accounts from the present complex report and bookkeeping system, or {would at least greatly simplify the same. Thirteen Days Overdue. Philadelphia, Feb. 1 .—Incoming vessels which covered the same course as that which ought to have been taken by the steamship Eagle Point, thirty days out from London for this city, report that nothing was seen of the overdue steamship, for whose safety much fear is now enter- tained. The Ragle Point is thirteen days overdue. A King Edward Seeks Change of Air. London, Feb. 1'.—King Edward has gone to Brighton for a change of air. His majesty has suffered considerably from sore throat recently and this trouble has entailed sleepless nights. Sir Felix Semon, physician extraor- dinary to the king, has been in at- tendance on his majesty. {MORGAN SAT IN GALLERY Senator Depew Praises Action of New York Banker. ‘Washington, Feb. 1.—Senator De- pew replied to a recent charge made in the senate by Senator Culberson of Texas that during the recent panic the secretary of the treasury favored New York city in depositing public money in national depositories. The danger that was so great, he saild, was avoided by the wise action of the secretary of the treasury, as- sisted by “that phenomenal genius, J. Pierpont Morgan, who, associating with himself the bankers of New York, provided the means by which the assailed banks could be saved.” At the time this utterance was made Mr. Morgan occupied a seat in the private gallery of senators and was a careful listener to all that was said. Thousands Need Relief. Philadelphia, Feb. 1 —An appeal for aid for destitute people in the Kensington mill district .of Philadel- phia, one of the greatest industrial centers in the world, was made at a meeting of the Central Labor union. The union appointed a committee to act on the plea of a delegation of tex- tile workers, who claimed that from 35,000 to 50,000 men, women and children in the Kensington district are in need of relief. Plant Resumes Full Force. Naugatuck, Conn., Feb. 1 .—Em- ployes in the grinding department of the Goodyear Metallic Rubber Goods company ard the Goodyear India Rub- ber Glove company to the number of 900 have returned to work after be- ing in idleness since Dec. 14 owing to the open winter. Before the end of the week the plants will be run- ning in full force, employing more than 2,001 persons. Punitive Expedition Planned. Calcutta, Feb. 1.—The Indiaf gov- ernment has declded to send immedi- ately two brigades of troops under Major General Sir James Willcocks into the Bazaar valley, on the north- western frontier, to punish the Zak- kakhels, a powerful tribe of Afridis who have been raiding villages in that territory and ambushing mem- bers of the mounted police. Blg Steel Plant Resumes. Cleveland, Feb. 1'.—Between 5,000 and 6,000 men have returned to work at the Lorain plant of the National Tube company. The plant has been closed down for several months. Un- der normal conditions about 8,500 men are employed. It is understood to be the present intention of the company to re-employ a:full quota of men within a very short time.

The Empress Bugenie, whom Napo- leon III chose to share his throne, had a ready wit, which, although' it never veiled a sneer, often confused those on whom it was directed. The late Dr. T. W. Evans tells in his reminiscences the story of a distinguished senator, who, on being asked what he thought of the speech in which Napoleon had declared his marriage intention to the deputies, replied: . “A fine speech—excellent! But I pre- fer the sauce to the fish,” meaning that Napoleon’s words were better than his choosing of a bride. Some weeks later, at a dinner given at the Tuileries, this senator was seat- ed next to the empress, who, observ- ing that after having been helped to the turbot he declined the sauce, said to him, smiling roguishly: “Monsieur, I thought it was the sauce you liked and not the fish.” ‘With rare presence of mind the sena- tor hesitated but a moment. “A mistake, madam,” he said, “for which I am now trying to make amends.” The Corner Days. * Some aged country folk like to-take note of what they call the corner days —the 20th of March and the 20th of September—when the sun crosses the line and the days and nights are of equal length and the 20th of June (the longest day of the year) and the 20th of December (the shortest). After the 20th of June they say, “When the days grow shorter the weather grows hot- ter,” and after Dec. 20, “As the days begin to lengthen the cold begins to strengthen.” Levi Beebe, a mnoted old weather prophet, who used to watch the weath- er from his eyrie on Beartown moun- tain, southern Berkshire, Mass., made prophecies which were greatly prized. He made his prognostications from a study of the winds, the clear, cloudy and stormy days for ten days each side of the corner days and multiplied them by 3 to tell the weather for each suec- ceeding quarter, and he made some marvelous guesses.—New York Press. Time and the Man. Some one may suggest that if Crom- well and Napoleon Bonaparte and Bis- marck and George Washington and Abraham Lincoln had not appeared to do the work they did others would have arisen equally capable of doing it, though perhaps in a different way. To this suggestion there are two answers. One is that it is pure conjecture. The other answer is that history shows us many occasions when the great man was needed, and when the need of him ‘was acutely felt, and yet when he did not appear. The greatness of some men is largely due to favoring condi- tions. Other men, perhaps more bril- liant, achieve less than their powers seemed to promise because they were not quite in key with their own age. Perhaps they ‘were akead of it.—James Bryce in Pall Mall Gazette. Great Events From Little Causes. While staying at the court of Fred- erick I1. of Prussia Voltaire presented Mmne. de Pompadour’s compliments to the king, who scornfully replied, “Je ne la connais pas.” Out of vengeance for 50 much insult, as she deemed it, madame induced the weakminded Lou- 1s XV. to convert his country’s long standing hostility against Austria into friendship. A Franco-Austrian army then took the field against Prussia, and as it was an easy matter for ma- daize to enlist the 'practical sympathy of Elizabeth of Russia, who had been the subject of Frederick’s Indiscre®t remarks also, half a million lives were lost—London Notes and Queries. He Came Back at Her. “Many mendicants,” said ‘a New York charity - official, “are humbugs, and we do well to refuse their requests for help. What excellent digs, though, they sometimes give us in return. I remember the case of a farmer's wife who refused a tramp a night’s lodging. “‘Well, then, ma’am,’ said the tramp, ‘would you mind if I slept in that big meadow there behind your barn? “‘No,” said the woman, ‘you may sleep there if you like,’ “‘Oh¢ thing more, ma’am,’” said the tramp, ‘before I say good night. Will you please have me called at 4 o’clock sharp? I want to catch the cattle train to market.’” Standards. She—Men and women can't be judg- ed by the same standards.
