BRING YOUR ACJOB WORK~ TO THE TiMFS (OFFICE. In July, XS83, I begantobreak out with Eczema on my head, legs and arms, and began treatment with local doctors, but di not get much relief. They said the dis ease had become chronic. I then quit them and tried various ointments and soaps for another two years, but as soon as cold weather came I was as bad off as ever, so I finally decided to let medicine alone, and for twelve or thirteen years did nothing towards curing the Eczema, except bath ing. This seemed to do about as much good as anything I had tried. During the time I lost about one-half of my hair. I began S. S.

Odd Display of Etiquette That Must Precede the Meal. Two French inssionaries, Fathers Hue and Gabet, who went through China to Tibet over half a century ago, discovered on the way-or perhaps, be ing French, they knew before they started-that the easiest way to go through a strange country peacefully is to conform to all its customs and confine one's expressions of amaze ment to the quiet of one's own room. They observed closely and followed the lead of their neighbors and made copious notes on everything. "When we entered the great market town of Tolon Noor (Seven Lakes)." they wrote, "we knew not where to take up our abode. We wandered about for a long time in a labyrinth of narrow, tortuous streets incumbered with men and animals. "At last we found an inn. We un loaded our dromedaries, deposited the baggage in a small room, foddered the animals, and then. having affixed to the door of the room a small padlock which the landlord had given us, we sallied forth in quest of dinner. "A triangular flag floating before a house in the next street indicated to our joyful hearts an eating house. A long passage led us into a spacious apartment. in which were symmetrical ly set forth a number of little tables. When we had seated ourselves at one of the tables a teapot, the inevitable prelude in these countries to every meal, was set before each of us. You must swallow infinite tea, and that boiling hot, before they will consent to bring you anything else. "At last, when thesy see you thus oc cupied, the comptroller of the table payt yosu his official visit, a person of immensely elegant manners and cease less volubility of tongue, who after en tertaining you with his views on the affairs of the world in general and in each country in particular concludes by announcing what there is to eat and requesting your judgment thereon. "As you mention the dishes you de sire he repeats their names in a meas ured chant for the information of the governor of the pot. Your dinner is served with admirable promptitude, but before you commence the meal eti quette requires that you rise from your seat and invite all the other company to partake. "'Come,' you say, with an engaging gesture, 'come, my friends; come and drink a glass of wine with me; come and eat a plate of rice.' "'No, thank you!' replies everybody in the room. 'Do you rather come and seat yourself at my table. It is I who invite you.' - "By this ceremony you have 'mani fested your honor,' as the saying is, and you may now sit down and eat in comfort, your character as a gentle man thoroughly established. "When you rise to depart tire comp troller of the table again appears. As you cross the apartment with him he chants over again the names of the dishes you have had, this time append ng the prices and terminating with the sum total, announced with especial emphasis. Then, proceeding to the counter, you deposit the amount in the money b.ox."-Youth's Companion. By the Tonic Route. The pills that act as a tonic, and not s a drastic purge, are DeWitt's Little Early Risers. They cure Headache, onstipation, Billiousness, etc. Early isers are small, easy to take and easy to act-a safe pill. Mack Hamilton, otel clerk at Valley City, N.

A benevolent neighbor of ours is sometimes put to it to decide whether her good intentions do not cause quite as much trouble as they cure. The oth er day she was visiting in the tene ment of a very poor family, in whose wretched home she found a litter of puppies better cared for than the chil dren and a basketful of kittens ab sorbing the attention which might have been profitably devoted to the mopping of the floor. While meditating how she could best offer some gift of money which might be wisely applied to Im mediate 1iecessities the eldest daugh ter of the one room home abruptly ask ed: "Say, Mrs. X., wouldn't you like to buy two of these puppies? You can have them for $4." Glad of an oppor tunity to contribute the $4 to a house hold where it was evidently much needed, she was opening her purse, when she thought to inquire, "Mary, what will you do with the $4 if I give It to youy' "Pay the dog tax on the rest of the puppies," was the prompt but unexpected reply. The problem of poverty is not how to get money to the rhand of the poor, but how to get It to stay there.--Chicago Interior.

E. Brown & Co A Plea For Small Attentions. If men only knew how much their wves appreciate the little attentions that they consider too small to t~lnk about there would be more of the cour teses that marked the antenuptial pe-, rod manifested in the everyday rou tine life that comes after marriage. A man when he has succeeded In winning a woman calmly lays aside all those delightful little ways that, if he only knew it, did so much to capti vate her and with the air of a man who has run after a street car he set tles down and reads his paper without having an idea that she is eating her hert out because of the absence of those trifling attentions that mean so much to her. Listen, all ye men, to a wife who knows how much woman's nature is alike and how happy we all become over little kindnesses which may not in your eyes be worth considering, but which to us speak of a sentiment that has not dIed out In marriage and a po lite regard for the wife that is as great as that shown the fiancee. Are You Engaged? Dgaged people should remember that after marriage many quarrels can be avoided by keeping their digestive organs in good condition with Electric Bitters. S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. C., says: "For years my wife suffer ed intensely from dyspepsia, complica ted with a torpid liver, until she lost her strength and vigor, and became a mere wreck of her former self. Then sh tried Electric Bitters, which helped her at once, and finally made her ;' tirely well. She is now strong and healthy." The R. B. Lory-ea Drug Store sells and guargntees them at 50c Close CalculatIon. Extremes touch in commercial eccen tricities, and the land of the palm is not so different from that of the pine in the oddities of its small traders. It was a Canada grocer who owned that it never paid him to keep white sugar. "If I get a barrel, folks buy it up so fast it's gone in less'n a week," said he. "Don't pay, I tell ye; it don't pay!" A traveler in the Philippines gives this experience on the island of Negros. He had gone to the open air market, where the native women sit squatting in a row, prepared for the long finan cial arguments that follow the custom er's first mention of a price. "How much?' asked the visitor, pointing to some mangoes. "Three cents each," was the answer. There were six mangoes in the bas ket, and the traveler took them all and laid a twenty cent piece in the seller's lap. But she angrily snatched them back and also returned the coin. "They are 3 cents if you buy them separately." said she. "If you buy the lot you will have to pay 5 cents, for I shall have none to sell to other peo ple." Got Off Cheap. H may well think he has got oil cheop, who after having contracted constipation or indigestion is able to perfectly restore his health. Nothing will do this but Dr. King's New Life Pills.

In the train of Anne of Denmark, when she went to Scotland with ames VI., was a gigantic Dane of matchless drinking capacity. He pos sessed an ebony whistle, which at the beginning of a drunken bout he would lay on the table, and whoever was the last able to blow it was by general consent considered to be the "champion of the whistle." It happened, how ever, that during his stay in Scotland the Dane was defeated by Sir Robert Laurie of Maxwelton, who after three days and three nights of hard drink ing left the Dane under the table and "blew on the whistle his requiem shrill." The whistle remained in the family for many years, and the last person whozearried it off was Alex ander Ferguson of Craig-Darroch, son of Annie Laurie, so well and musically known. Bobbie Burns immortalized the subject in a poem entitled "The Whistle." A Safe Cough Medicine for Children. In bn-ving a cough medicine for chil Iren never be afraid to buy Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. There is no Ianger from it and relief is always sure to follow. It is especially valuable for 'olds, croup and whooping cough. For ale by The R. B. Loryea Drag Store, Isaac M. Loryea. Prop. To Cure Pensimism. Hang these words on your bedpost or tack them in your brain: I am going to become an optimist. From now on I am going to change my entire life and my entire style of thinking. I will endeavor hereafter to be gen rous in my view toward others, broad minded, large spirited and kind, think ing well of everybody, mean of nobody, nd overlooking the little faults, be lieving that there are other qualities in the man that overwhelm the de iciency. "There is so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us that It behooves each one of US to be charitable to the rest of us." I shall see the bright side of every thing. I shall talk like an optimist, laugh like an optimist and move about like an optimist, conscious of the fact that I shall radiate sunshine and make every one around me happler.--Physical Cul tire. _ _ _ Who Was Your Father ?

Makes old people young, renews. youth, makes weak people strong, gives refreshing sleep. Sold by Dr. W. E. Brown & Co. Averting a Duel. The challenge to a duel is commonly regarded as the last word after pacific methods have failed to right the wrong of the party aggrieved. As we all know, this is the hollowest pretense. Bismarck and Rechberg, the Austrian premier, decided to fight upon a certain morrow. "Why not now?" said Bismarck. "We have our pistols here." And they agreed to a duel there and then. But first Bismarck had to write a dispatch to his government giving the cause of the duel. This he asked Rechberg to forward in case he (Bis mark) fell. Rechberg read the report, and his passion cooled. "What you say is quite correct," he remarked, "but is it really worth fight ing a duel for such a reason?" "That is exactly my opinion," said Bismark, and the matter ended on the spot For an Impaired Appetite. Loss of appetite always results from faulty digestion. All that is needed is a few doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. They will invigor ate the stomach, strengthen the diges tion and give you an aplpetite like a wolf.

The oldest working. clock in Great Britain is that of Peterborough cathe dral, which dates from 1320 and is con ceded to have been made by a monas tic clockmaker. It is the only onfe now known that is wound up over an old 'wooden -wheel. This is some twelve feet in circumference, carrying a gal vanized cable about 300 feet in length, 'with a leaden weight of three hundred weight. The cable has to be wound up daily. The gong Is the great tenor bell of the cathedral, which weighs thirty two hundredweight, and it is struck houry by an eighty pound hammer. 'The going and the striking parts of the clock are some yards apart, communi cation being by a slender wire. The clock is not fitted with a dial, but the time is indicated on the main wheel of the escapement, which goes round once in two hours. This clock is of the most primitive design, more so than the fa mous one made for Charles V. of F'rance by Henry do Nick.-Sientfie American. Murray's Horehound. Mullein ant] Tar will cure your cough.

" c an heartilv and conscientiously recommend Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy for afiections of the throat and lungs.' says Hou. John Shenick, 220 So. Peoria St. Chicaze. -Two years ai-o during a political campaign, I c.auiht cold after being overheated, which irritated my throat and I was finally compelled to stop. as I could not so.ak aloud. In my extremity a friend aavised me to use Chamberlains Cough 1 emedy. I took two doses that after uiwon add could not believe my senses v-hen I found the next morning the in flam mation had largely subsided. I took several doses that day, kept rigtht on talking through the campaign, and thank this medicine that I won my seat in the council." This remedy is for i:sae by The I. B.

As a result of careful study and many exhaustive experiments thewriter is convinced that the average man or woman uses up in the' performance of ordinary everyday acts from three to fifteen times the amount of vital force necessary. The vitality so wasted is in many cases sufficient to make all the diference between weakness and strength, between sickness and health or between failure and success. The ways in which vita!ity is wasted are many and various. We need con sider but two-incorrect posture of the body and excessive muscular action. Another and most far reaching factor in nervous vital waste is lack of con trol of the emotions. A bent body is strained by its own weight, so we Bnd that among people having such bodies the mere act of holding up the body in standing, walking and moving about requires from four to ten times as much vital outlay as the straight body.-Dr. W.

Free from the distractions of life, the aged are at leisure to observe and ad mire. "I never knew," said Cornaro, "that the world was beautiful until I reached old age." This period was fre quently declared by him to be the most beautiful of his life. Writing at the age of ninety-one, he said that'he felt it his duty to make known to the world that man could attain to an earthly paradise after the age of eighty, but only by means of the two virtues, self restraint and temperance. At that time he was writing eight hours a day, walking and singing many other hours, enjoying the beauties of nature and abundant in labors for the good of mankind.-Good Health.
