Observations on Plain Human Na (ure by the Cigar Dealer. "I understand," said the cigar deal as he took advantage of a leisure -.ent !o pass a word with one his customers "that the, wise peo .vho write books about various es speak a good deal of rever io type.

"It's funny,' he'll say to his ends, 'that I never discovered i.- cigar before.' He'll talk about i. and smoke it, and then, in about week, he'll drift in and ask in a ay a bit shame-faced for some of lie old kind. No, I don't say any .[?r.jg; I'm not anxious to lose trane; I put the familiar box before him And watch the i.ffectionate touch that he gives the cigars. I might give instance after instance of the pipe smoker, for example, who decides he has used one variety of tobacco long enough, but who finds that nothing tastes quite the same as the 'riend of years. But the story would be too long a one. "There'- an exception, hewevor tnd i suppose the exception proves '.he .ule. Your cigarette smoker is apt to te looking for some pew thing nretty much all the time, and that's one thing that convinces me that Mgarettes really don't give lasting riausfaction." Some Tails and Their Uses. A cat never actually wags its tail. Why should ii when it can purr? ?ut, nevertheless, it seems to serve th> tame purrjse in permitting a temporary expenditure of excess ner * ous oner-?/ when the animal is uu J:er groat strrin. For instance. vv.Vii carefully stalking a bird or a man, as in the case of a kitten or i lion, the Up of the tail is never still for a moment?ever curling and '.ucurling. ? We may" compare this to the ner vo?s tapping of the foot or fingers :n a man. When an angry lion is roaring its loudest, his tail will fre quently lash from side to side, giv ing rise among the ancients to. the oeliof that he scourged his body with a hook or thorn which grew from the end of the teil. When a jaguar walks along a slender bough or a house cat peram bulates the top of a board fence, we l^rceive another important function ?A the tall?that of an aid in balanc ing. As a tight-rope performer sways his pole.so the feiine shifts its tail to preserve the centre cf grav ity. The ;ail of a sheep sterns to be of little use to its owner, although in the breed wuich is found in Asia Minor and on the tablelands of Tar tary this organ functions ar. a store house of fat, and sometimes reaches a weight of * f ty poundB. When viewed from behind the animal seems all tail and when its anpeuuage reaches full size it is either fasten 3d between two sticks which drag on the ground, or it is suspended on two small wheels.? Outing Magazine. dinner*' Ik'afnosR. A British writer quoted by the Army and Nary Journal, ?oclares that 50 par cent of the men in the British navy are more or less deaf as a result of heavy air sh< cks to which their ears are subjected by firing of the big guns. Strang? to say, how ever, this disastrous effect on the ears, is sometimes greatest in the rase of small guns. Por instance, it has been found that the gun crews of tho Dreadnought's twelve-inch guns suffer less from tbe "ring" than men handling three-poundera. This is explained by the protection re sulting from the barbetje U whicb tbe former is ?ncioeed, and which is not as a rule used for the three i/ounder. aad further by the fact that the men operating the twelve ineh gun are about nine iOS as far away Prom the muzzle as those of :r.e threo-pounder crew. To avoid the worst effects of these gun dis charges on the ears it is recommend ed that a piece of rubber be kept be tween the tejth so that tne mouth ?-'ill be held open, and clay fibre I nigs be uaed in the eare.

The great fundamental difference hptween the modern woman aLd the tnoderr man is this: that, whereas the raiment of the modern woman has no pockets at all, the raiment of tue modern man has nothing else. Indeed, a man may be defined as nn animal with a passiop for pockets. It you wtre asked to say off hand how many pockets you possess at a .given moment you would be stump ed. It would be necessary to make out an inventory. In the first place, there are at least five in your over coat. There are at least flvo more in your lounge jacket, four In your waistcoat, and four In your trousera. ?> i' Therefore, at least eigh I'ts. - '-? absurd to say that any ' - em.itpen pockets. Why, n "et of pigeon holes! nt. t;> be numbered or iet 1. '?"en a man loses his lall v ? : !<?.. ami after paying excess fare he finds it hHdeij .11 one of hla jozen and a half pockets. There are tew of us who do not surfer from ac cumulations of old letters, paid and unpaid bills, 'bus and tram tickets, theatre vouchers anJ miscellaneous on's and enis. We change our flotsam and jetsam from one suit of clothes to another, for we are not happy without unnec essary tragments of paper. As a rule, a smoker carries sever al boxes of matches in his pockets, it i? easier to put a penny in a slot at a railway station and extract a new rox than to hunt through layers of rr>( kets for an old one. I once knew a man who carried an amazing assortment of useless things . In his pockets. He always bad a lump oi chalk, a piece of string, a small ivory inch rule, a penknife, a pencil ;.nd a pair of compasses. In his pocket book he carried stamps, sticking plaster, telegraph ?orms and pins. Another man I know always carries half a dozen silver cigar cases shaped like torpe* ooes. with one cigar in each. Some men have a mania for car rying enormous bunches of keys. They do not use more than two of tnem every day but they are not happy unless they have a key for everything they have ever owned. When they lose their keys It is a tragedy. I sometimes wonder why the chan cellor of the exchequer does not im j cse a pocket-tax. It would bring ir enough revenue to pay for old age pensions. It would be much more profitable than the ancient window-tax, for men could live with out windows, but they could not pos sibly exist without pockets. A pocketless man would be mls erable. Try to imagine yourselves lu clothes without pocitets. The Imagination boggles at the thought. A coat without pockets wou'd be a monstrosity, before which a man would recoil in terror. js suspect that the tailor is the first cause of pocketitls. He it is who forces us to submit to the plague of pockets. I appeal to my fellow men to revoPt againBt this sar torial tyranny. Let us establish a pocket limit. Fourteea pockete ought to be enough for any saa? man.?James Douglas in M. A. P. Maine Man Up on Turnips. The lobby of the Saco court rooai has its usual number of story tellers. A venerable member of the bar told the following story recently: A young lawyer of the village of Marshfield once came to Daniel Weoster und asked him what he had belter study to build himself up in his profession. "Turnip seed,'* was the laconic reply. The disciple of Plackstone followed his advice. He studied up everything that bore upon the su jjoct of turnips, until be b?- i came a master of the principles of thai vegetable. A year or two af terward a neighboring farmer origi nated a new turnip, from the sale of whose seed he expected to make a fortune. Another neighbor began te raise an'd sell the same seed and a lawsuit resulted. The originator of the seed came to retain Webster, to prosecute the case. Webster re plied: "I am not as well booked up on turnips as I ought to be, but there Is a young fellow over at the village who knows all about them. Go and get hlra. He will win your case." 'i'he farmer posted oft and engaged him. When the trial came off the lawyer, astonished the Judge, jury, and audience, by his profoune" learn ing on the subject of turnips. The case was triumphantly won, and the young lawyer started on the road to lame and fortune.?Lewis'.ju (Me.) Jourual. Thumb Bells.

It is located in the North-eastern portion of the city, as shown in cut In ad. in another column. The lots are about 5-8 miles from the Cour' louse, and about 10 minutes walk to the business center. They are high, overlooking the city and beautifully situated in a first class section. This looks like a fine chance to build a home, particularly so when you con sider that labor, lumber and other material are cheaper now than they have been in several years past.

Last winter I tried many advertised remedies, but the cough, continued until I bough?: a 50c hottle of Dr. Kings New Dis covery; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone.

You need a sufficient amount of good wholesome food and more than this you need to fully digest it. Else you can't gain strength, nor can you strengthen your stomach if it is weak. You must eat in order to live and maintain strength. You must not diet, because the body requires that you eat a suffic ient amount of food-regularly. But this food must be digested, and it must be digested thoroughly. When the stomach can't do it, you must take something that will hclp'the stomach. The proper way to do is to eat what you want., end let Kodol di gest \lre food. Nothing else can do this. When the stomach is weak it needs help; you must help It" by giving it rest, and Kodol will do that.
