* . No Fun For Boys. In Rome of the cantons of Switzerland they have special laws made for boys. Here is a sample of them: "If a boy throws a stone and hits a man he may be fined 3 francs. "If a boy throws a snowball and hits a woman he may be fined 2 francs. "If a l)oy calls a Rirl a 'red head' he may be fined from 2 to 4 francs. "If a boy throws at fro?s in a pond vlthout being ordered to do so by his father or teacher he shall be fined a franc. "If a boy throws a stone and breaks j a window belonging to some one else I his father may whip hltu or he may be fined 2 francs. "If a boy makes a face at his teacher or draws pictures of him on his slate or speaks 111 of hlin he may be fined 5 francs and have to beg his pardon. "If a boy stones a dog or chases a cat It Is a fine of a franc. "If two boys fight without the consent of their teacher It Is a fine of 3 francs. "If a boy steals apples or other fruit It Is a fine of 2 francs, and he shonld be beaten by his father." The American boy who reads the above will wonder what the Swiss boy has to live for. About all he can do and not be fined Is to hare the measles or whooping cough.?Exchange. Man's Unwisdom. The simplest and plainest laws of health are outraged every hour of tho day by the average man. Did Adam smoke? Did Eve wear corsets? Did Solomon chew tobacco? Did Ruth chew gum? Did the children of Israel , make for a beer gardes after crossing the Red sea? Did Rebecca eat gumdrops and Ice cream and call for soda water? Adam was the first and was made perfect from head to heel. How long wonld be remain so after eating a mince pie before going to bed? Suppose he had slept In a bedroom fire bj even, with the windows down, ths door shut and two dogs under the bed? 8uppose Eve had laced herself up In a corset, put on tight shoes, sat up all hours of the night eating her fill of trash and sizzled her hair. When you come to look at the way a man misbehaves himself you can only wonder be ever lived to get there. Verily, the average man behaves as If he were little better than a fool.?Woodbury (Conn.) Reporter. rr A Pony Sentinsl. burlng one of General Custer's Indian campaigns be had a boy bugler with him who was mounted on a circus pony he had picked up somewhere. The animal was not only full of tricks, but he proved himself a better sentinel than any of the soldiers. Three times In four months he saved the camp from a night attack when no other < suspected that danger was near.

As It Looked to Him. *'une of the ladies In fancy dress was, < i though fair enough, a trifle fat, and ; we will not say that she did not look i N well out of the thirties. And there < apake to her a reporter: "May I ask what character you represent?" "Helen of Troy," she answered. J "What did you think It was?" "Well," he murmured, ungallantly enough, as weights and measures confused his brain and he gazed on her ample proportions. "I thought you might be Helen of Avoirdupois!" One For the Debating Club. A group of half a dozen physicists, all eminent; a sheet of paper; a pencil. With the latter one of the group draws a pulley, a cord over the pulley, a tree, a bough from which the pulley hangs. 1 To one end of the cord Is attached a , stone; to the other cord clings a mon-, key. The stone balances the monkey. If the monkey proceeds to cnmD op the cord, what will happen? Will the atone, rise or fall? Heated discussion; breakup of the party; no result Can any reader help to settle this question? An Aneedote of Agassis. On one occasion a person entered Professor Agasslz's room with a picture which be desired to sell, denominated a "Blrdseye View of Cambridge." i The professor contemplated it for a. moment, lifted his eyes, looked at the render of the picture, and said, with his characteristic accent "Well, I thank my God zat I am not a bird."?

John Barleycorn still holds the championship belt as a fizhter. Thomas A. Edisou, the great American inventor, says: "Fully eighty per cent of the illness of mankind comes from eating improper food or too much food; people are inclined to over-indulge themselves." This is where indigestion finds its beginning in nearly every case. The stomach can do just so much work and no more, and when you overload it, or when you eat a wrong kind of food, the' digesti ve organs connot possibly do the work demanded of them. It is at inch times that the stomach needs help; it demands help, and warns yon by headaches belching, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. Yon should attend to this at once by taking something fltof mill oAfnflliv An fKa vnrlr fnr I the stomach, tfodol will do this.

The funotlon of ibe .cldneys la to separate Inorganic salt and water In the process of circulation, and to remove them and their atlondantpolsons from the tody through the bladder. Therefore when the kidneys gecome diseased and weak they are naturally ; unable to perform their work properly, and pains In the back. Inflammation of the bladder and urinary disorders are the result. It Is Imperative that a prompt relief be afforded, which is Impossible unless you remove the cause. DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills promptly eliminate poisons from the system and at the same time make the kidneys wsll and strong. For Weak Kidneys. Backache, inflsmmstlon of the bladder and all urinary troublee Do Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills are unsurpassed. A Week's Treatment for 25c. Money back If they faiL Goldsmith's Generosity.

Ills companion, knowing some thing ?f the woman, censured the writer for his e a cess of humanity, suylug that ibe shilling was misapplied, as she would spend it for liquor. "If it makes her happy In any way. my end Is answereJ." replied Goldsmith. Another proof that the doctor's gen erosity was not always regulated by discretion was at a time when, after much deiay. a day was fixed to pay the ?40 due his tailor. Goldsmith procured the money, but a friend calling upon him and relating a piteous tale of his goods being seized for rent, the thoughtless but benevolent author gave him all the money. The tailor called and was told that If he had come a little sooner be could have had the money, but that be bad just parted with every shilling of It to a friend In distress, adding, "I would have been an unfeeling monster not to have relieved trouble when In my power." Heart Protectors. Many persons are puzzled to know why policemen wear their badges so low on their coats Instead of on the flap made for that purpose. As a matter of fact the badge or star, as be calls It, of many a policeman is right next to his heart. Some of the bluecoats can thank their "stars" for being alive. This little metal shield ha9 de fleeted the bullet of burglar or highwayman, and at times, too, has stopped the knife thrust of would be assasutas. During the last twenty or thirty years there are many cases on record show lng that the little badge has been a lift saver. Even bullets fired at close raunu, a? a iuic, v?nuv% ^cucu atv i?n shield. That's why a bluecoat always Peels safer In keeping the star at a rital spot. When off duty some policemen wear their stars on their rests, but always directly over the heart Tbey are so accustomed to the little protector that they feel uneasy without It? Philadelphia Record.
