WILSON. -~ - PARKER'S HAIR BALSAM Clesases and beutifies the ha1n Proznotes a lnuurint growth. st. Meholau of Myra. All that is known with any certainty of Nicholas Is the bare fact that be lived in Asia Minor somewhere about the beginning of the fourth century. He was bishop of Myra, a Lycian sea coast town. venerable, of course, for his piety and benevolence, and fe was revered in the east at least as early as the sixth century. In the Qreek church he takes rank immediate., after the five great fathers, and under the name of St. Nicholas of Myra he is esteemed as patron saint of by far the largest body of Orthodox Greeks, the Russian empire. As early as the year 560 Jus tinian dedicated a church in Constanti nople to- the renowned bishop. In the west, where for a reason he is more commonly known as St. Nicholas of Bari, he was acclimatized for good In the eleventh century. His vogue in the north began with the twelfth, but ex tended so rapidly that by the reforma tion he probably possessed in England alone more churches and chapels dedi cated In his honor than any other holy personage.-CornhIll Magazine. Don't Talk of Your Health. If you are not well don't talk about To do so only exaggerates your con sciousness of physical discomfort; also it casts a shadow of gloom over other people. They grow hesitant about ask ing you how you feel. It gives them cold chills to be continually told that you are "not very well" or "not so well" or "about the same." Do you know that a good deal of this is imagination? If you braced up and told people cheerily that you felt tiptop nine chances In ten you would feel tiptop pretty soon. You'd forget the ailing habit. Don't let yourself become a slave to such a miserable little -absorber of health and happiness as the perpetual habit of "not feeling well."-Boston iTravatar. A Thousand Dollars Worh of Good. - A. H. Thurnes, a well knoin 6oal operator of Buffalo, 0., writes: " Ihave been afflicted with kidney -dnd bladder trouble for years, passing gravel and stones with excruciating pain. I got no relief from medicine unt iI began tak ing Foley's Kidney Cure, then the re sult was surprising. A few-doses started the brick dust like fine- stones and now I have no pain across my kidneys and I feel like a new man. It has done me $1,000 worth of good. Tht. It. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac MIea,Prop. Wonders of t~e Eye. Viewed'as tit 6ptical-Instrument, -the human eye may -well be called perfect, for It is an apparatus contained in a globe less than an Inch in diameter; in which is produced an Image practically perfect in form and color and which can be accurately adjusted almost in stantly for every distance from fl-e inches to infinity, which is movable in every direction, has an area small enough for the ,detection of the most minute details and at the.samo, time large enough for- the -appreciation of large objects, and which enables us to see all shades of color and to estimate distance, solidity, and,.to. sbme-extent; the consistenc. of-objects, and yet this wonderful ~-Instrument, perhaps the most varied in- its capabilities of any part of the body, Is persistently mis used and neglected. Is it any wonder that somne day nature resents this treat mnent and laves the oifenders in total Ancient Indian Obseratory. At Jeypore. the pleasant, healthy cap Ital of one of the most prosperous in dependent states of Rajputana, India, is the famous jautra or observatory, the largest of the five built by the cel ebrated royal astronomer, Jey Sing, the founder of Jeypore, who succeeded the rajas of Amber in 1093. Chosen by Muhammad Shah to re form -the calendar, his astronomical observations were formulated in ta bles which corrected those of De la Hire. He built five observatories, at Delhi, Benares, Muttra, UCjjain and Jeypore. It is not under cover, but is an open courtyard, full of curious and fantas tic Instruments invented and designed by him. They have been allowed to go out of repair, and many of them are now quite useless, it being impos sible even to guess what purpose they served in the wonderfully accurate cal culatio-s and observations of their in ventor, but the dial, gnomons, quad rants, etc., still remain of great inter est to astronomers.-Scientfic Amer lean. Real Elixir of Life. Contentment is the real elixir of life. It is the real fountain from which flow the waters of perennial youth. Sometimes it costs an effort, a tremen dous effort, to say it is all right, but the man or woman who can say it is much better off for thus looking at the sunny side of the world than the person who harbors a grievance against all mankind and walks through the world burdened with the somber thoughts of his disappointments. The discontented perhaps never stop to think how much worse off they could be; that, no matter how few their pleasures, there are those In the world who have fewer or none at all; that, given health and strength and the full possession of the senses, they are ad vantaged and blessed In the race of existence. The Tempering of Copper. The expression "the tempering of copper" arises from a thirteenth cen tury misunderstanding of the Greek word baphe-a word used by the Greco-Egyptian alchemistic writers of the third century. Berthelot, the emi nent authority on alchemy, has. shown that this word may mean. tempering, coloring (of cloth, glass And metals), the coloring materials or the coloring bath. Egyptian alchemy was busied originally in producing brilliant bronzes on copper and the copper al loys, and this expression "the temper ing of copper" means, and always has meant, bronzing copper so. that it may simulate silver or gold.-Arthur Jones Hopkins in New York Times. Another Victim. "Poor Mrs. Boozer suffers terribly from the liquor habit," said Mrs. Gabb. 'How is that?" inquired Mrs. Chinn, scenting gossip. "When her husband comes home at night is he is-too far.gone to pay at tention to her--remonstrances and the next morning he has such a headache he can't listen to her."-Portland Tele gram. Unlike Fishing Lines. "That fishing song In the new opern - s clever, don't you think?" asked thi critic I"No," replied the hard luck angler "it isn't at all natural." I No; the lines are too catchy." The Right of Way. In the early days of western railway building, days not so long gone by as to be out of memory, there were many exciting races between rival roads for the possession of important mountain passes. Such a race, says the World's Work, was that between the Santa Fe i and the Rio Grande roads for the right of way through Raton pass to New Mexico and the southwest. Engineers and construction gangs worked In mad haste to get to it ahead of their riv'ds The victory fell to the chief or the Santa Fe. When the Rio Grande cohorts arrived they round him alone in one o1 the big gorges, shovel In hand, slicing earth from an 8,000 foot hill. "What are you doing here?" they asked. "Constructing a railroad," he replied. He turned another shovelful of dirt, dropped the t(, .1 and hitched up his heavy cartridgc b.elt. "Any one who interferes with the Santa Fe does it at his own risk," he said quietly. First the Rio Grande men laughed, and then they raged, and then they turned and went away. Their road was cut off from the south forever. A Bath In Bubbles. "To take a bath at Tiflis, in Russian Caucasia, is to court a never to be for gotten experience," says one who knows. "The masseur who presides over the toilet of his patrons is a weird looking figure. His head Is shaved, a rag is twisted around his waist, and his fedt. are dyed a beautiful red. You are seized by this individual, rubbed, pushed face downward on a marble slab, find his feet in your spine and his hands upon your shoulders. Then he grinds his feet up and down your back. They are round your neck, on your head-everywhere! Then he vaults lightly off, and In a moment, from a linen bag filled with soap, he has squeezed clouds of perfumed bub ,les, and you are hidden in them from 'head to foot as completely as If you had fallen Into a snowdrift. You are not absolutely bruised, but you are clean."-Kansas City Journa&,L REFLOATING A SHIP. I Ingenious Expedient Devised to Save the Steamer Flavian.

CONCEIT OF THE SOMALI. - He Feels He Is About the most Pew feet Man In the World. Perhaps the most remarkable charac teristic of the natives of Somaliland is their unbounded, preposterous conceit. Englishmen who know their language have been appalled by it. When wa tering his camel oi his hore the Somali encourages the animal t8 drink by chanting to it in a monott.ne. -It is at snu moments of extemporary effusion that the man shines in all his' glory. The subject matter may be the experi ences of the day's march, the virtues of the animal beside him, the charms of his latest wife or his own prowess in some bloodless tribal raid. By great good fortune the following literal trans lation of one of these chants or songs came into my possession, and I insert it without any comment: "Will you see a man? Then behold me! I am a Somali. as perfect in size and form as Adam was' after God had breathed into him his inmortal soul. Look how beautiful my cui, lair is and how majestic I look when wrapped from head to foot in my snow white or jungle colored'tobe, although there be sometimes only one pie (a small piece of money) tied to it.
