Have You Tried It?
Tnere is a bottle of Cardui waiting for you at the
drug store. Have you tried it?
If not, we urge you to do so, before your troubles
have obtained such a hold on you, that nothing will drive
them out
Even now, it may be nearly too late. But try it any
how. If anything can help you, Cartiui will. It has helped
in thousands of cases, where other medicines had been
tried in vain. Why should it not. do the same for you?
"My daughter, Octava, would have been in her grave
today, had it not been for that fine medicine, Cardui,"
writes Mrs. Laura Lawrence, of Drennon Springs, Ky.
"Nothing I tried helped my daughter,, until she had
taken Cardui. I had sent for the doctor, when I thought
of your medicine and got a $1 bottle. When she had
taken four doses she became all right I often recommend
Cardui to my friends."
Your druggist sells Cardui with full instructions for use
on the bottle.

COUNTRY BILLIARDS.
Story that Will Be Appreciated by
Knights of the Cue.
Calvin Demurest, the amateur bil
liard champion, described at a dinner
in Chicago some poor billiard tables.
"One summer in the country," he
said, "another man and I were over*
taken by a storm and had to go into
a tavern for shelter. The rain fell
steadily. We had three or four long
hours before us. Time began to
hang heavily on our hands.
" 'Landlord,' said I. 'do you happen
to have a billiard table?'
" 'Sure.' said the landlord. 'Sure.
Just step this way. gents.'
"He proudly threw open the door
of a dark, stuffy room. We saw an
antiquated table with a patched cloth,
and in the corner was a racl: of crook
ed cues.
" 'Any balls?' said I.
" 'Sure,' said the landlord, and he
unlocked a closet and laid on the ta
ble three white balls, all alike?there
was no spot, you know.
" 'But, see here,' I remonstrated,
'how do you tell these balls apart?'
" 'Oh. that's all right, said he. 'You
soon get to know 'em by their
shape.' "?Washington Star.
Length of Life.
The maximum length of life of some
of the best known animals is as fol
lows: The horse lives to a maximum
of thirty-five years, and the donkey
a like period; the dog does not ex
ceed twenty-five years; the rabbit
from eight to ten; the goose, thirty;
the duck, the hen and the turkey, a
dozen years.
Among the animals having the best
established reputation for longevity
are: The crow, which lives one hun
dred years; the parrot and the ele
phant, which attain an age of one
hundred and fifty years. Carp, on the
other hand, appear to have usurped
their reputation, which was based on
ill-understood facts from Chantilly
and Fontainebleau. They rarely be
come centenatians. The tortoise ap
pears to be the animal that lives the
longest, and the record of longevity
is surely held by one weighing 250
kilograms, which was presented In
1904 to the London zoological gar
dens by Walter De Rothschild, and
which Is said to have been born in
1750.
Use for Elastic Conscience.
Riggs and Briggs are two Montreal
?Itizens, more or less interested fcn
municipal affairs. They differ on sev
eral burning questions, but unite in a
?trong dislike for O'Flaherty (which
Is not the gentleman's name). The
same O'Flaherty has a positive gift
?6i manipulating votes, and is capable
of looking after a larger band of the
'faithful" than any other Montreal
politician.
"It's men like O'Flaherty who give
'his city a bad name," said Riggs
warmly. "He's got no principles at
all. In fact, he doesn't think of any
thing but getting his man in."
"That's so," responded Briggs. "If
T had a conscience as elastic as
O'Flaherty's, I'd make it into a rub
ber trust."
Took Her at Her Word.
A woman came into the general
store with a jar of butter. She de
Hired to exchange It for another ja>
of butter. In churning her butter sh<
had discovered a mouse In the churn
"It didn't injure the butter," sht
said to the storekeeper, "and to any
one who did not know the circum
stance it would taste all right."
Taking the woman at her word, tht
merchant carried her jar into th<
back room, transferred her butter tc
another Jar, and the gratified custom
er took back her mouse butter with b
thousand thanks for the accommoda
tion. '

Indian Missionaries to the Seminoles.
The Indian Baptist Church of We- |

Semlnole tribe of Indians and whose
services are held in the Seninole lan
guage, is preparing 'to send mission

five huadred members of the Seminol<
tribe still living in that State. An ef

this work, and to send about ten per

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once told
an amusing story of an illiterate mil

of Napoleon's career. He thought it
would fill a case in his library.
He was somewhat taken aback, how

had got 40.000 volumes, and was await

PUNISHIkENTS FOR PERJTRERS.
Thrown From ClifTs, Branded with
Irons, Tongues Torn Out, Etc.
Perjury, besides being one of the
oldest offenses in the catalogue of
crime, has always been very severely
punished. A\ ith the advar :e of civ
ilization, however, fiendish punish
ments have been replaced with more
humane, if still severe penalties.
In the days of the Roman empire
nry one who committed perjury wa9
thrown from a precipice, whilst the
Greeks branded their false swearers.
It is interesting to note that when
the latter embraced the Christian re
ligion the punishment was altered
to that of having the togue cut out,
a sort of punishment wh.ch was con
sidered to fit the crime in the early
centuries.
In the middle ages some coun
tries adopted the system of giving
the perjurer the punishment for the
crime he falsely accused another of
Thus if he swore a neighbor had
committed murder, and the charge
was disproved, the perjurer would be
Bentenced to death, and the other
penalties of the penal rode were ex
acted for the particular crime al
leged.
The two greatest perjurers in the
history of the world were Tltu9
Oates and Arthur Orton, the Tich
borne claimant. Oates, who had
been dismissed from the ship he was
serving on,' turned lecturer, and,
finding that it did not pay, conceived
the notion of Inventing a r.oplsh plot
against the king, and reaping the
rewards that were always on offer
against traitors of the Roman relig
ion in England.
The story was believed for a time
and eighteen Catholics of rank were
arrested and executed. Meanwhile
the court conferred a lavish sum of
money on Oates, who quickly be
came the terror of everybody, for
he had merely to point the finger of
j suspicion at any one, to have that
person arrested.
However, he fell into disfavor,
was himself arrested, tried for per
jury and sentenced to imprisonment
for life. Before entering the dun
geon he was put in tin pillory and
tfterwards public whipped all the
way from Newgate to Tyburn
This extraordinary man, how
ever, had not reached the end of
Us career, for the accession of Wil
liam of Orange, once more brought
the Roman CathoHc religion into dis
iavor, and the perjurer was not only
released but a pension of $15 a week
for life was conferred upon him.
The Tichborne case, is, of course,
the best known in the history of
English law, but some of Its marvel
ous features have not been empha
sized. How an uneducate? man
could have hoodwinked a nother to
swear that he was her son, convince
a firm of astute lawyers of the same
fact, and, in short, obtain a follow
ing of millions of persons, passes
human knowledge.
Fourteen jears' penal servitude
was a heavy price to pay for his

The Marvela of Indian Magic.
A former French Chief Justice in
CLandermagaore, Jacolliot, gives an
account of several curious perform
ances that were displayed for his ben
fit by a yogi named Bovbinda-Swaml
on the terrace of his own house. Be
ing by no mean?? credulous, Jacolliot
took every precaution to prevent de
ception. Fine sand was strewn on
the ground in ?rder to make as
even a surface as possible. Jacolliot
was asked to seat himelf at a table
upon which were a pencil and paper.
The fakir carefully laid a piece of
wood upon the sand, and announced
that whatever figures Jacolliot might
draw on the paper the piece of wood
would transcribe them precisely up
on the pand. The yogi stretched out
his hand, and the wooden piece Im
mediately copied upon the sand the
most complicated and twisted figures
that Jacolliot drew. When the
Frenchman stopped writing the piece
of wood also came to a standstill.
The fakir stoou at a distance against
a wall, while Jacolliot laid the paper
and pencil hi such a way that the In
dian could not possibly see what he
was inscribing.?Harper'B Weekly.
Chamois Makor is a Magician.
Most everybody uses chamolc and
and everybody imagines it comes
from the graceful goats of the Swiss
Alps. But it doesn't. It really
hails rrom the cavernous depths of
tanneries of Peabody, in New Eng
land. Peabody tanners make beau
tiful leathers of sheep pelts. The
chamois maker is a magician of the
leather trade. To his doors he drawB
sheep skins from the great ranches
of Montana, or their possible future
rivals on th? plains of Siberia, the
pampas of Argentine, or the ^elds of
Australia. Mary's little lamb mas
querading as brave Swiss chamois,
has a wonderful career.
Ten Tons of Diamonds.
Prodigious diamonds are not so
uncommon as Is generally supposed,
says Sir William Crookes in the
North American Review. Diamonds
weighing over an ounce (151.5 ca
rats) are not infrequent at Klmber
ly. I have seen in one parcel of
s'onee eight perfect ounce cystala
a?d one inestimable stone weighing
two ounces. The largest known dia
mond, "the "Cullinan," was found In
the new Premier mine. It welgna
no less than 3,025 'iaruta.
