THE .MIDDLE'AGED mAX. Drops Into. Recoiled Iso a Little Blt Overa Visit to the Old Hone. "Well," said the middle-aged man, Tve 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. "On the day I got there, this time, wc had cup custards for dinner. Beau ,ti?ul. they were, too; I have never . tasted any cup custards such as moth ?. er makes; and these were the best of her make; rich and delightful, as al : "ways. ?"But there was something wrong about mtae, somehow; what, I couldn't at first make out; the custard was , simply deUcloas, but there was some ?ulng wrong somewhere; and present ly I discovered what it was and I says to mother: 4 'Mother.' . 'What Is it, Melancthon?' she says, and I says: " 'It's the most beautiful custard I ever tasted, but you've given it 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 j what she did. *The next day we had cup custards again; 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 . from the side of the cup, was fresh and bright; lt 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 lt was ' thc, 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 lt up, and scraped the inslue 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 home."-New York Sun. Keep Nothing But Good Stock. Every farmer should be well sup plied with Uve stock. Xo 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 stock t um 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 in a scrub, and they both eat as much as another and cost as much to keep. alight Have Been Worse.

Professor lt. G. Moulton of the English Department at the University of 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 ls utterly improbable," said the professor a few days ago. "Now the fact la that the only thing which is 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 tc commit suicide. Shock lng? Yes, to be sure, but the man was not troubled with a conscience. The only thing that worried him was thc fear that he should make a fail ure of his attempt to kill himself, know myself so well that I feel Bure the thing would be a fiasco,* he al 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 all the details carefully and took every precaution against failure. He went to the edge of 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 i clothes, fired the pistol at his head and jumped off the cliff." 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. "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, anu the man fell into the water and that .put out flames. He never was a very good sailor anyhow and the poison hardly remained long enough in 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 ls making it possible for the coming men and worn en, who are being pictured awake and asleep, laughing and crying, in the bath and at 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 daily 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 photograph ers, and the multitudes and ea?<fhess of relatives and friends for baby's picture with papa, with mamma, with the nurse and alone secure to them no end of patronage. i's Vegetable Oom ially Successful in 1 Woman's Disease. i the female organism is afflicted, kidney tess early and correct treatment is ap es- i?. inkham, early in her career, gave ex roducing her great remedy for woman's Compound-was careful to see that it herbs which was sure to control that The Vegetable Compound acts in har entire female system, and while there ey troubles, Lydia E.

Business Women of Atlanta. A large body of the women of Atlan ta, Ga., attended a mass meeting re cently hi the rooms of the Atlanta Woman's club for the purpose of or ganizing a Business Woman's league, which promises to be the greatest and most Important organisation In that city. The promoters are a number of the leading and professional women of Atlanta, who realize that the Increas ing nunib3rs 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 a club house where working women may have access to all thc comforts of women of leisure and a chance for self-culture through lectures, music, etc. The organization will include those who, having boen in business, are in sympathy with the needs and aims of those who arc now self-sup porting. Loose SI cc vu i Again. 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 moro and more and arc in many cases slashed al most to the shoulder on thc outer side, over a full soft underslccve. The loose dnst cloaks with their volu minous sleeves hnve prepared the way for larger coat sleeves, which will be seen on the fall and winter coats. Panne velvet is 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 what is to be expected later. A model bat 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 Frunce pink. Necktie clasps are ven' much in evidence on the fall street costumes. The fashionable cravat which appears upon at least three out of every five 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 the 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 nntlque gold work that ls a present fad. The latter are good in style and a single cnbulchon gera set deeply in the gold and agree ing with 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 UM of Fragrant Snits. Women of today are not as liable to faint as their grandmothers were, because they dross more sensibly and do not wear as tlfrht dresses or ns 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. Those 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 the cost Is 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, so lt may be easily carried in the pocket. Vinaigrettes are often vary elaborate, decorated with silver, gold and even precious stones, but a tiny bottle of clear glass with a pretty stopper is always In good taste and as useful as a more ornate one. To pre pare the Bait, procure from a trust worthy druggist half a pound of car bonate of ammonia und an ounce and a half of the best 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 wann water, covered nnd set In a moderate oven for about an hour. Stir the mixture several times while lt ls heating. It Is not necessary for the ammonia to be crushed Tine. If lt is in broken lumps it lasts longer. Do not get In the foolish habit of using a vinai grette continually. Cases of obstinate deafness have boon ascribed to thia case. The salts are also said to have an Injurious effect on tho vocal cords as well ns 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 Stylos of Coiffure. We are abandoning tho pompadour, says a Paris correspondent, and for a truly enchanting fashion-the curl la the middle of the forehead. The half is curled right up In one twist from the center of the forehead in this new tttyle, wee tendrllls playing lightly up on the temples. The hair at the sides ls carried to the back of the' head, leaving only the tiniest possible puffs on ench side of the face. Oh the Crown bf 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 ls worn much loW?r than heretofore. Coiling it tip, hoVv1 overt suits sb ninny faces that thw fashion Will probably hot be Univer sally Adopted, Another style bf coiffure c?natsts hi parting the hair Itt the d?hter and Waving it itt large undulations. Which lend thethselVes to the slightly puffed hide's and upright loops on the top, and which proclaim their emanation from the empire period. A very light, ?ne curl ou either side softens the outline of the forehead. It rhouM be noted that extreme smoothness and a glossy look are essentials; no | fuzzy or fluffy appearance ls to b;? tolerated. A long comb should adorn the bnse of the structure; for the day time lt is 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 lt used to be. We are promised a return of the em pire curl. To many women lt is emi nently becoming, nnd as to those of us whom it does not suit, we may ig nore the curl when lt comes, if come lt does. An especial coiffure has been designed for those no longer In" tho flrst bloom of youth. After being waved, the hair is combed back and arranged in colls at the crown of the bead, 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 tie It round the coil, 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 Types of Girls. There are two, distinct types of girls recognized Just now, thc girl who is pretty and thc girl who ls stylish. Of course there are types of the intellectual and the studious, but when they are these they cease to 1>3 called girls, and are given the more dignified title of women, so the girls may readily be confined within the limits of the two types flrst mentioned. The girl who ls pretty seems to have an Invincible weapon In her hands. She is taught from her infancy that she ls favored above all other girls, and, alas, by the law of nature's com pensation, she generally grows up without nu 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 It 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 it on her modish head give it a' pat or two which will transform lt until her neigh bor will swear it ls imported. . Her gown m.ty be plniu 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 on ill grace. Everything belonging to her-partakes of her individuality, until eyeu^ the?. everyday sailor or rough straw is dis tinguished ns lt bangs on the hnll rack and thc 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 is some vague power within her which enables her to select out of the thousand and one hats at the millinery opening the very blt of head 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, Jackson, Lincoln and Garfield are the only presidents hon ored with public statues. Washing ton and Lincoln have two each. There is 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 has 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 hall. The city directory of Washington always Includes thc president, not one of whom ever was or ls a resident of the city, and the same ls true of all cabinet officers, bends of departments, senators and representatives and nil other officials, few of whom call Washington their home.

Fte Estimated Length of a Serpent Whose Petrified Head oad Tall Hive Been Ponad. Il ages gone by there were snakes In Colorado perhaps 100 feet lb length. Cufotor Will C. Ferrll, of the State Historical Society, considers himself at liberty to make this statement, as the result of rc-cent discoveries Made Ih' ih? Vicinity bt Florenc?. A huge moWer has been discovered Which proves beyond peradventure the snake story. Kenr Florence, W. F\ Masters, of jVirt?ri i?uhd part of the petrified hotly 0? ohb colossal snake. The pre historic reptile had a head fully the Biz? of a ham and about the same snipe. The exceptionally large eyes arc placed as are those of an ordinary snake. The stone head is 33x30 inches. A piece of the stone tall found, which is 3G inches long, indicates that the reptile must have been 30 inches in circumference. Masters seems to tk from the development of the that this particular snake was a young one, nut fully developed. In that case those of the same family lally- grown would be larger and much jqnger. In sending to Governor tibornas the description of this im portant discovery Masters says that ie will forward a sketch as soon as wwslble. Ferril was asked by Gov ernor Thomas to use every means at Us disposal to secure the specimen at once, together with as many others from the same locality as possible.

When this long canal is blockaded, look out for trouble-furred tongue, bad breath, belching of gases, ?rellow spots, pimples and boils, headaches, spitting up of ood after eating-an all-around disgusting nuisance. Violent pill poisons or ff riping salis are danger ous to use for cleaning out the bowels. They force out the obstruction by causing violent spasms of the bowels, but they leave the 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 kills more 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 foec.il 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 44 Cn on the box.)
