General William W. Belknap went to the war of the rebellion as the major of the Fifteenth Iowa infantry. In one of the companies of that regiment was a young fellow named Darby Greely. When the regiment was marching over the gangplanks on to the steamer Sucker State the major sat on his horse close. by. As Darby Greely stepped on the plank his mother grab bed him and pulled him to her bosom. With intense emotion she cried and crooned over him and then, seeing the major, she cried, "Darby, me b'y, s':ick close to the major an' ye'll niver git hurted." A tickling Cough from any cause, is quickly stopped by Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure.

No Stain on His Record. A New York clergyman, who often srends his vacation in fishing the streams of the Adirondacks, was on one trip adopted by a handsome setter dog, which insisted on following him from camp to camp as he moved along the stream. One day he met a party of men work ing upstream with a native guide. The guide immediately recognized the dog as his own property. "Trying to steal my setter, are you?" he shouted at the clergyman. "'11 have you to jail for this! There's a law in the woods just as big as you have in the city." The clergyman endeavored -to ex plain that he was an unwilling com panion of the dog, which had refused to be driven away, but to little effect until he added a two dollar bill to his arguments. - "It's queer what strange things hap pen to a man up here," he said to the stage driver who later carried him away from the woods. "That is the first time I was ever accused of steal ing a dog." "Yes, sir," replied the driver, sym pathetically, and added, after a mo ment's pause, "For myself, sir, I have never been accused of stealing any thing."-Youth's Companion. When you see the name Rydale in an advertisement or on a remedy it is a sure sign that the remedy advertised is compounded from the prescription of a specialist. A specialist in a certain disease knows more about and is better fitted to treat that disease than 'anyone else, and that is the aeason why the Rydale remedy never fails to relieve and so often cure the troubles for which they are recommended. Ry dale's Stom ach Tablets, for Indigestion and Dys pepsia; Rydale's Liver Tablets for liver and bowels- Rydale's Tonic, for a sys tem builder and sure cure for Chills and Malaria; and Cough Elixir, for all ordinary Coughs ancn bronchial trouble, are four prescriptions of the best specialists and will do all that medicine can do.

Methods of the English at Table In the Seventeenth Century. The old English had three meals a day, of which the chier meal was tak en when the work of the day was fin ished. The first meal was at 0, dinner was about 3 o'clock, and supper was taken just before bedtime. The Nor mans dined at the old English break fast time or a little later and supped at 7 p. m. In Tudor times the higher classes dined at 11 and supped at 5, but the merchants seldom took their sneals before 12 and G o'clock. The chief meals, dinner and supper, were taken in the hall both by the old English and the Normans, for the par lor did not come into use until the reign of Elizabeth. Breakfast did not become a regular meal until quite late ly, and Dr. Murray in the Oxford Dic tionary ga ve 1413 as the date of the earliest quotation in which the word occurred. The meal did not become recognized until late in the seventeenth century, for Pepys habitually took his draft of half a pint (if Rhenish wine or a dram of strong waters in place of a morning meal. Dinner was always the great meal of the day, and from the accession of Henry IV. to the death of Queen Elizabeth the dinners were as sumptuous and extravagant as any of those now served. Carving was then a fine art. Each guest brought his own knife and spoon, for the small fork was not introduced into England until Thomas Coryate of Odeombe published his "Crudities" in 1611. Pepys took his spoon and fork with him to the lord mayor's feast in 16G3. The absence of forks led to much stress being laid upon the acjof washing the hands both before and after meals and to the rule that the left hand alone should be dipped into the common dish, the right hand being occupied with the knife. The perfect dinner at the best time of English cookery consisted of three courses, each complet-e in itself, and terminated by a subtlety or device, the whole being rounded off with ypocras, after which the guests retired into an other room, where pastry. sweetmeats and fruit were served with the choicer wines. The English were essentially meat eaters, and it was not until the time of the commonwealth that pud ding attained its extraordinary popu larity. Indeed, the first mention of pudding in the menus of the Buckfeast at St. Bartholomew's hospital did not occur until 1710, and in 1712 is an iten' of 5 shillings for ice.--London Times.

The woman who had shopped until the closing gong had sounded stood at the transfer station and awaited the suburban trolley. "What," she wearily asked herself, "does It profit a woman if she gain the elusive bargain and loses every trace of physical freshness?" Presently the car came along. It had the usual crowd of humanity, and the woman resignedly prepared to stand, when a grimy youth arose and tendered her his place. Protesting faintly, she sank into It guiltily and registered a vow never to shop over time again. In due time several seats were vacat ed, and the woman looked hopefully toward her knight "Jimmy," a friend of his was saying, "there's room Inside now. Why don't you sit down?" And the last drop of discomfort was added to the woman's cup of humilia tion when Jinrmy responded: "Aw. what's the use! No sooner I'll get me legs stretched when another tired old hen will get on and I'll have to hop up!"-New York Times. i MOVE is the time to es are corn rything in the OTHING ~st Shoes, the Goods and up ~ry. ey saving for >your pocket hmann.

The Colossal Task of Selecting the Words to Be Used. One of the men who compiled a big dictionary talks as follows about the way the work was done: From the largest dictionary of the language all the words were diligently copied, and then each of the smaller dictionaries was checked off in turn against this growing list. When the dictionaries had been thus exhausted all the living authors of works that had an undoubted standard value were secured to contribute from their works such words as they had used that were not found in the general dictionaries. In addition to this, the services of about 500 readers were utilized, among whom was distributed all the standard literature from Chaucer to the present time. These readers were instructed to report such words as seemed to be new and not found in the ordinary dic tionaries and to locate them by page and line that they might be inspee .d. each in its own context. For this pur pose pri' ared blanks were furnished. Specialists in various trades, arts and professions were also invited to send such words belonging to the technique of their vocabularies as might be fa miliar to them, but which were not in general use, and so had not found their way into the dictionaries. It will be seen that the collection of a vocabulary on such a plan, though there were many helpers, was a long and laborious task, involving a great amount of correspondence, which ex tended literally all over the world. Added to this was the nearly appalling task of editorial and clerical work, merely to sift and organize these con tributions. It is not to be imagined that words so gathered could or should be all included. An organized staLff of editors and philologists was required, who passed upon the eligibility of each word. The conservative care exercised in determining the scope and limits of a vocabulary can be inferred from the fact that in one of these offices, after a "dragnet" had gathered over 500,000 words, more than 200,000 were f.nally rejected. These included words that were still too completely foreign to merit a place in an English vocabu lary, all the "used but once" words, considerable slang language and many technical terms that had good reasons against them. The fixing of a date be fore which words should be excluded, except on certain conditions, resulted In throwing out many. When words have been selected for a dictionary, several distinct things must be done with them. They must be di vided into their proper syllables, and the right syllables must be supplied with accents. They must be pro nounced by the use of certain arbitrary signs used In a respelling of them t-, indicate the powers of the letters they contain. They must be defined in all the senses In which they have actually been found used in literature. In the ease of a primary form the origin of the word in other languages-that is, its etymology-must be given.-Chlcago News.

The Manning Grocery Co. The Greeting at the Pier. "One of the most unsatisfactory ex periences that I know of," said a man who likes to make his time cotunt, "is meeting people, home from Europe, af the pier. They are glad to see you, as you are, of course, to see them, but I have never yet greeted a relative or friend under these circumstances with out realizing the fact that my presence was more or less of a nuisance. What with the collection of the baggage from the stateroom and the hold, the fuss ing with the customs inspectors and the getting of the impedimenta to the express office or the cab the returned voyagers are fully occupied, and It is asking too much to expect them to pay particular attention to those who are right on hand to say 'how-de-do.'

EX..Brown & Co. -THE PERFECT LIKENESS. A Snuffbox, a Portrait and a Sur prised Monarch. It Is related of Frederick II.. king of Prussia, that he one day made a pres ent of a golden snuffbox to one of his counts, When the latter opened the lid he found the picture of an ass painted upon the underside of it. Though he scarcely relished the king's joke, he said nothing at the time, but as soon as he quitted the k-lng's pres ence be sent one of hIs valets with the snuftbox to the city and gatve him In structions that the picture of the ass was to be painted out and a portrait of the king put In Its place. A few days later a distinguished company dined with the king. The count was one of the guests, and after a time he produced his sntufbox and pretended to examine It with the air of a man who was proud to have re ceived such a gift from the king. The latter, wishing to enjoy a little amuse ment at the count's expense, mention ed to the Duchess of Brunswick that he had ~made a present of the box to the count on the preceding day. She desired to inspect it, and when the box was handed to her she opened the lid and, looking inside, cried In raptures: "Perfect! The likeness is charming! It Is one of the best por traits of you that I have ever seen!" She handed the box to the person next to her, who was equally charmed with the likeness. From one to anoth er the box was passed, and all testi fied to the excellent resemblance which the picture bore to the king. The king, thinking that the ass' head was still to be seen on the snuffbox, felt exceed ingly embarrassed and scarcely knew what to make of the Incident, but at last the snuffbox, having made the tour of the table, came to his hands. and the first glance showed him how cleverly the count had anticipated his The new Laxative thaL does not gripe or nauseate.
