THE MIDDLE* AQED MAX. Drops toto - RecoHeciton a Little Bit Overa Visit to the Old Home. "WelL" said the middle-aged man, "I've been down borne again on my usual summer visit and had the great est time this year ever. In fact as time goes by the old spot seems dear er and dearer, and recollections tend erer; and little things to which once I never gave a second thought, appeal to me more and more. 4,On the day I got there, this time, we had cup custards for dinner. Beau "tiful. they were, too; I have never v- tasted any cup custards such as moth . er makes; and these were the best of her make; rich and delightful, as ai rways. *'But there was something wrong about mine, somehow; what, I couldn't int first make out; the custard was atrop? delicious, but there was soine tuliig wrong somewhere; and present ly I discovered what it was and I says to mother: " 'Mother.' " 'What Is it, Melancthon?* she says, and I says: " 'It's the most beautiful custard I ever tasted, but you've given lt to me ?*lu a, cup with a handle on lt.' " "Well, don't you want it In a cup '.with a handle on It, Melancthon? she : .says. " 'Why, don't you remember,* I says, that when we used to have cup cus tards I always used to get the cup with the broken handle?' " 'So you did, Melancthon, so you did!' she said, and that was all she said; but I am sure you can guess what she did. "The next day we had cup custards Qgoin; and when they came around, lo, the cup that mine was in was a cup without a handle. The fractured surface of a sharp and jagged rem nant of It that remained, projecting ifrom the side of the cup, was fresh j and bright; it had not, on this cup, been browned over, as the broken handle on the other had been, with the heat of many bakings; but still it was . the., old cup come back again. ' And when I had finished the custard In it and had grasped the cup around with one hand and held it up, and scraped the Inside of it until I had got the very last speck and then had licked the spoon, I felt my youth come back again in childhood's hap py h 'me."-New York Sun. Keep Nothing But Good Stock. Every farmer should be well sup plied with live stock. No farmer can afford to farm without the income that the stock affords. As he must keep the stock he might .as well make them a success, and In order for them to be a success, he must not keep any more pfock than he can shelter, at tend to, and feed properly. He must also raise only the best, for there is -more money in a thoroughbred animal than lu a scrub, and they both eat cs much as another and cost as much to keep. Might i?ave Been Worse.

Prof. Moulton, Who Tells a Few Stories of a Taking Kind. Professor lt. G. Moulton of the English Department at the University cf Chicago has a way of enlivening his lectures by pointed and homely illustrations. "Sometimes we hear as an objection to- the plot of a first-class novel that it is utterly improbable," said the professor a few days ago. "Now the fact is that the only thing which ls true ls fiction. There Is nothing so false as what we call the truth. Facts always give some loophole of escape. For instance there was a man that you ought to know about, who wished very much to commit suicide. Shock ing? Yes, to be sure, but the man was not troubled with a conscience. The only thing that worried him was the fear that he should make a fail ure of his attempt to kill himself. 'I know myself so well that I feel sure the thing would be a fiasco,* he al I ways declared. For thirty years this conviction was the only obstacle that stood between that man and death. "Finally he mustered up the cour age one day to try to commit suicide. He went over ail etalls carefully and took every precaution against failure. He went to the edge of a cliff overhanging the sea near his home. With him he carried a revolver, a bottle of poison, a rope, and a box of matches. He tied one end of the rope around his neck and fastened the other end to a tree near by. Then he swallowed the poison, set fire to his clothes, fired the pistol at his head and Jumped off the clliT." Professor Moulton ended his story here and blandly proceeded to bow himself out of his class room. "But, professor, was the man kill ed?" shouted the overwrought class of future American novelists. "By no means," replied the profes sor in astonishment. n "Excitement made the man nervous and his pistol shot went wide of the mark. The rope caught fire from his burning clothing, came in two in a trico, and the man fell into the water and that .piit out flames. He never was a very good sailor anyhow and the poison hardly remained long enough lu his system to make him dizzy. He was rescued by an officious fisherman, who charged $5 for his trouble. And yet people talk about the improbabil ities of fiction."-Chicago Inter Ocean. Women as Baby Photograpners. Modern photography is making it possible for the coming men and wom en, who av. being pictured awake and asleep, laughing and crying, In the bath and ot play, to see themselves In their childhood as other saw them. Many mothers now keep an album devoted especially to each child, and where formerly once a year, or twice at the most, was regarded sufficiently frequent to picture the youngsters, the dally life from the earliest infancy to college days ls now faithfully record ed. Many women are taking advant age of this fad, and are carrying on a thriving business as baby photograpl ers, and the multitudes and ea?^fness of relatives and friends for baby's picture with papa, with mamma, with the nurse and alone secure to them no end of patronage.

Nature Lessons Out of Doom. Nature classes that meet In the open air are sources of delight to tho youngsters who arc fortunate enough to belong to them. In a lesson over heard recently, the small uoy'B pro verbial curiosity was satisfied by talks upon how the Insects bear, where tho grasshoppers ears ure situa ted, what makes the locust sing, how the crickets chirp, how many legs a spider has, where the butterflies come from, and what makes the katy did's song.-New York Tribune. Unusual Meld for u Wowan. Miss Caroline Van Brunt, secretary of a large copper company, ls also one of the directors and corporators of the company, and ls said to know more about copper, nickel, the general mining of ores, the source of supply, production, consumption, tariff, state of trade etc.. than any other woman In this country, and probably more than many men who claim to be ex perts on the subject. Miss Van Brunt has studied the problem of rendering copper fumes innocuous, and lt was largely through her presentation of the subject to Congress that to those establishments requiring it was given an opportunity to experiment further with patent smoke consumers and odor contractors. Business Women of Atlanta. A large body of the women of Atlan ta, Ga., attended a mass meeting re cently In the rooms of the Atlanta Woman's club for the purpose of or ganizing a Business Womnu's league, which promises to be the greatest and most important organization in that city. The promoters are a number of the leading and professional women of Atlanta, who realize that the increas ing nunib2rs of women who work make such an organization necessary. The immediate objects of the Atlan ta Business Wowan's league are to se cure a rest room and restaurant, a gymnasium and eventually u club house where working womer, may have access to all the eomfqi; of women of leisure and a chane or self-culture through lectures, m etc. The organization will lnci those who, having been In buslnt are in sympathy with the needs a. alms of those who are now self-sui., porting. Loose S Ivr v n\ A? lin. The tight sleeve has had but a brief existence in its last revival. All ru mors hint that larger sleeves are on the way. and already there Is a dis tinct fulness at the shoulder. The elbow sleeves Hare more and more and arc in many cases slashed al most to the shoulder on the outer side, over a full soft undeirslccve. The loose dnst cloaks with their volu minous sleeves have prepared the way for larger coat sleeves, which will be seen on the fall and winter coats. Panne velvet ls the milliner's de cree to. be the most popular material for autumn and winter hats; and French makers are showing wonder fully beautiful velvet flowers, as a hint of whnt is to be expected later. A model hot is of panne velvet In Jacqueminot color, trimmed with Re naissance lace and a mass of velvet roses, shading from darkest Jacque minot to La France pink. Necktie clasps are very much in evidence on the fall street costumes. The fashionable cravat which appears upon at least three out of every Ave of these gowns and is most frequently of black velvet or soft black satin, is much more effective when drawn through such a clasp, than when tied, and the touch of gold harmonizes with the gold buttons and braid which are tolerably sure to lurk somewhere about the gown. Flat and heavy dead gold, dull silver or gun metal rings are perhaps tile most knowing of these clasps; but the jewelers, In response to the demand, are now bringing them ' out in jewelled de signs, and In the antique gold work that ls a present fad. The latter are good In style and a single cnbulchon gem set deeply In the gold and agree ing wjth the color scheme of the gown adds to the effect, but the heavy Jew eled clasps are a trifle too pronounced and rob the cravat of distinction. The Use of Fragrant Faits. Women of today are not as liable to faint as their grandmothers were, because they dress more sensibly and do not wenr as tight dresses or as tight shoes, and gloves, but it Is a wise and sensible precaution to keep fragrant salts on hand. Any salt loses its strength in a short time. The simple lavender salts are the most de sirable of all perfumed salts. These are easily prepared at home. While you are preparing a portion of these salts lt is as easy to make several bottles or vinaigrettes as one, and fhe cost ls small. Procure half a dozen small, clear glass bottles, with close cut glass stoppers If you wish. A pretty stopper costs very little pur chased with the bottles by the half dozen, and adds considerable to the value of the vinaigrette as a gift It is desirable that a vinaigrette be small, PO lt may be easily carried in the pocket. Vinaigrettes are often vary elaborate, decorated with silver, gold and tren precious stones, but a tiny bottle of clear glass with a pretty stopper ls always lu good taste and as useful as a more ornate one. To pre pare the salt, procure from a trust worthy druggist half a pound of car bonate of ammonia and an ounce and a half of the liest oil of lavender. Crush the two together In a mortar, or In any dish that will mix them. Set the mixture in a large bowl, which should be put In a pan of warm water, covered and set In a moderate oven for about an hour. Stir the mixture several times while lt ls heating. It ls not necessary for the ammonia to be crushed fine. If lt ls in broken lumps lt lasts longer. Do not get in the foolish habit of using a vinai grette continually. Cases of obstinate deafness have been nscrlbed to this case. The salts are also said to have an injurious effect on the vocal cords ns well as on the auditory .nerves when used continually. Even the odor of flowers, notably the odor of violets, has been known to cause a singer temporarily to lose her voice. Becoming Styles of Coiffure. We are abandoning the pompadour, says a Paris correspondent, and for a truly enchanting fashion-the curl in the middle of the forehead. The hair is curled right up In one twist from the center of the forehead in this new style, wee tendrills playing lightly up on the temples. The hair at the sides ls carried to the back of the' head, leaving only the tiniest possible pulls on each side of the face. On the crown of the head the hair is slightly parted on one side-merely a sugges tion of a parting, not a hard line. The coll at the back Is worn much lower than heretofore. Coiling lt tip, how ever, suits so mflby faces that thw fashion will probably not be univets sally adopted? Anothei style of coiffure consists in parting the halt Iii the center ohd WaVihg it lu large Undulations, Which lehd themselves to the slightly puffed sides and upright loops on the top, and which proclaim their emanation from the empire period. A very light, fine euri ou either side softens the outline of the forehead. It shoull be noted that extreme smoothness and a glossy look arc essentials; no fuzzy or fluffy Appearance ls to bi? tolerated. A long comb should adorn the base of the structure; for the day time lt ls of plain tortoiseshell, but for full dress an adornment of jewels is permitted. Small side combs set .out the side puffs, which, however, should; not be exaggerated. As for the ondu l?e, or waving. It is now an Atlantic billow compared with the little lake ripples it used to be. We are promised a return of the em pire curl. To many women it Is emi nently becoming, and as to those of us whom lt docs not suit, we may Ig nore the curl when it comes, if come lt docs. An especial coiffure hus been designed for those no longer In' tko first bloom of youth. After being waved, the hair is combed back and arranged In coils at the crown ot the head, not quite on the top. A very becoming way for a girl to" arrange her hair is to pull a ribbon through a small diamond buckle, and to lie it round the coll, so that lt Just. stands up a little, wee blt above the fringe. The .ribbon should either be white or to match the dress.-New York Commercial Advertiser. Two Typen of Girl?. There are two, distinct types of girls recognized just now, thc girl who is pretty and the girl who Is stylish. Of course there are types of the intellectual and the studious, but when they ure these they cease to 1)2 called girls, and are given the more dignified title of women, so the girls mny readily be confined within the limits of the two types first mentioned. The girl who ls pretty seems to have an invincible weapon In her hands. She is taught from her infancy that she is favored above all other girls, and, alas, by thc law of nature's com pensation, she generally grows up without an idea In her fluffy pate, be yond the best pose for that same pate, and the best becoming piece of mil linery with which to adorn IL The stylish girl Is the one whose clothes seem made for her alone. She will take the commonplace hat Of her pretty sister and placing lt on her modish head give lt a pat or two which will transform lt until her neigh bor will swe;'.r it is imported., Her gown may be plaiu and cheap, but they are worn with an Indefinable air which makes them better looking than the satins and velvets which the other woman wears with an 111 grace. Everything belonging to her-partakes of her Individuality, until even__thc? everyday sailor or rough straw is dis tinguished ns it bangs,on the hall rack and the fuzzy brown cape which she dons In wet weather looks more perky and self satisfied than its neigh bor, the sealskin, which does not be long to the stylish girl. It ls some vugue power within her which enables . her to select out of the thousand and one hats at the millinery opening the very blt of hoad gear which will make her the cynosure of all eyes. She may be a millionaire's daughter, lu which case she ls invariably the belle of the season, and makes the very best match, or she may be a shop girl who sells ribbons and laces by the yard, in which case her coil of. hair is the smoothest and best groomed looking in the days of smooth hair, and her curled bang the fluffiest and most ethereal looking In the days of puffed curls. She has an air which her envious fellow women would give half their lives to possess, and which attracts the admiring eyes of all the men on the street when she appears. -The Pittsburg Press. WASHINGTON NOMENCLATURE, No Preildont'i Name In the Senate, Four in Houne, directory Full of Them.. In thc Senate there is no name cor responding with that of any president. In the House there are four-Adams of Pennsylvania, Pierce of Tennessee, Polk of Pennsylvania and Taylor of Alabama. In the city directory of Washington ail presidential family names are re peated, and in some instances the Christian names. There are 14 John Adamses, two James Buchanans, one William Hen ry Harrison, one Benjamin Harrison. K< Andrew Johnsons, seven James Monroes, two Franklin Pierces, one James K. Polk, 12 John Tylers, four Martin Van B?rens, 13 George Wash ingtons with no middle names, and one William McKinley besides the president Tb??re are 18 Arthurs, 18 Clevelands, 10 Flllmores, one Garfield, 71 Grants, 20 Lincolns, a raft of Mndlsons, Tay lors galore, Washingtons by the-page and a number of McKinleys. Washington. Jackson, Lincoln and Garfield are thc only presidents hon ored with public statues. Washing ton and Lincoln have two each. There ls none of any vice president Daniel Webster ls the only cabinet officer and senator who bas been so honored, for Garfield never took his seat as senator. The army hns one general, Scott The navy has Farragut and Dupont The supreme court has one, John Jay, first chief justice. The above list does not include the statues in Statuary holl. The city directory of Washington always Includes the president, not one of whom ever was or is a resident of the city, and the same is true of all cabinet officers, heads of departments, senators and representatives and all other officials, few of whom call Washington their home. Most visitors, and many who live In Washington, speak of Jackson square or park, forgetting that this, the most generally known square in the city, is Lafayette. Hot Weather's Tent of Love.

Tee Estimated Length of a Serpent Whose Petrified Hud tod Tail Have Been Posad. l? ages gone by there -were snakes in Colorado perhaps 100 feet lb length. Curator Will C. Ferrll, of the State Historical Society, considers himself at ?liberty to make this statement, ?s tba result of recent discoveries made in ?b? vicinity oi Florence. A huge monster has beeb discovered which proves beyond p?rhdventure the snake stdrJf. Neat Fidrencfej W. F; Masters, of jVlctbrj ?O?hd part of the petrified body ?t 6he coiossdi snake. The pre - historic reptile had a head fully the BIZO of a ham and about the same snipe. The exceptionally large eyes are placed as are those of an ordinary snake. The stone head is 33x30 Inches. .??piece of the stone tall found, which is SC inches long, Indicates that the reptile must have been 30 Inches in circumference. Masters seems to think from the development of the tall that this particular snake was a young one, not fully developed. In (?at case those of the same family . jolly grown would be larger and much Tonger. In sending to Governor ?Siomas the description of this 1m 'mrtant discovery Masters says that .winwill forward a sketch as soon as Possible. Ferril was asked by Gov ernor Thomas to use every means at Us disposal to secure the specimen at .<mce, together with as many others from the same locality as possible. Curator Ferrll thinks that as the os sified head was found in the sand stone strata there must be more speci mens near at hand. These he will at opee secure, If possible, and will add them to the State collection. Mas tera's- letter to Governor Thomas, which sets forth the first vague and uncertain facts in this important dis covery, is as follows: "Honored Slr: I have recently found a fossilized specimen of a huge njonster of a very singular character, and, thinking you were the one most l?iely to cite me to the proper person for further correspondence In regard to the matter, I would be pleased to h?ve you refer the matter to proper authority and have the enclosed clip ping written up in the Republican.

It's a long way, with many turns and pitfalls to catch the refuse and clo? the channel if not most carefully cleaned out every day. When this long canal is blockaded, look out for trouble-furred tongue, bad breath, belching of gases, yellow spots, pimples and boils, headaches, spitting up of food after eating-an all-around disgusting nuisance. Violent pitt poisons or griping salis are danger ous to ose for cleaning out the bowels. They force out the obstruction by causing violent spasms of the bowels, but they leave thc in testines weak and even less able to keep up regular movements than before, and make a larger dose necessary next time. Then you have the pill habit, which tills moire people than the morphine and whiskey habits combined. The only safe, gentle but certain bowel cleansers are sweet, fragrant CASCARETS, because they don't force out the foecai matter with violence, but act as a tonic on the whole 30 feet of bowel wall, strengthen the muscles and restore healthy, natural action. Buy and try them! (Look out for imitations and substitutes or you can't get results. Cascarets are never sold in bulk. Look for the trade-mark, the long-tailed MCn on the box.)
