The woman who is lovely iD face, form and temper will always have friends, but one who would be attractive must keep her health.

The old hunter thought a moment and then said, "Harry, I'll try ycu ag in " And Harry was elected. Twelve pounds is the weight of the new uutomatic machine gun under experiment in the United States army. It fires 450 shots a minute, and can be carried by one man. A philosophical statistician calcu iates that in the year 2'JOO there will be 1,700,000,000 people who speak English, and that the other European languages will be spoken by only 500,000.000 people. 0 je of the q ieere3t corners of the earth is Chatham Island, off the coast of Ecudor. The island abounds in cats, every one of which is black. They live in the crevices of the lava near the coast, and get a living by catching fish and crabs, instead of rats. "After doctors failed to cure me of pneumonia I used One Minute Cough Cure and three bottles of it cured me. It is also the best remedy on earth for whooping cough. It cured my grandchildren of the worst cases," writes Jno. Berry, Logan ton, Pa. It is the only harmless remedy that gives immediate results. Cures coughs, colds, croup and throat and lung troubles. It prevents consumption. Children always like it. Mothers endorse it. J. E. Kaufmann. On seeing a notice in the window of a county shop that everything was sold by the yard, aD Irishman entered. "Do you sell milk?'1 said he. "Yes," said the shopman. "Then give me a yard," said Pat. "All right," said the shopman. And, dipped Lis finger in a milk can at' his side, he drew it a yard in length on the counter. Looking up triumphantly at Pat, he asked: "Do you want anything else today, sii?" "No," said Pat; but just rowl it up in a bit o' paper, and I'll take it home wid me." "I had bronchitis every winter for yeais, and no medicine gave me permanent relief till I began to take One Minute Cough Cure. I know it is the best cough medicine made," say3 J.#Koontz, Corry, Pa. It quickly cures coughs, colds, croup, asthma, grippe and throat and lung troubles. It is the children's favorite remedy. Cures quickly. J E Kaufmann.

To dispose of an estate worth only a few hundred dollars a Connecticut man who died the other day left a written will more than a yard long. It seems like a tremendous amount of wrapping paper for a decidedly small package. In Iceland horses are shod with sheep's horn. In the valley of the upper Oxus the antlers of the moun. tain deer are used for the same pur pose, the shoes being fastened _with born pins. At a recent reception in New York, Mrs. Henry Havemeyer had fordeco rations for one room 200 dozen roses, which were bought at $30 dozen. A prominent detective agency has recently investigated the use of elec* tricity for breakiug the vaults of banks and safes. The report states that there ba9 never been a single successful burglary of a bank vault or safe by electricity, and that there is no neccessity for alarm on this | score. . A. Georgia convict, working with others in a contractor's brickyard, escaped by piling bricks in a hollow square, and thus shutting himself in until the convicts had been locked up for the night. A woman has at last choked to death from putting hairpins in her mouth, but probably all the other women will go right ahead with the same mad recklessness. ... .Ud
