Weak women should read my "Book No. 4 For Women." It was written 1 expsessly for women who are not well. t The Book No. 4 tells of Dr. Shoop's "Night Cure" and just how these sooth- c ing, healing, antiseptic suppositories 'can be successfully applied. The book and strictly confidential medical advice f is entirelv free. Write'Dr. Shoop. Ra cine. Wis. The Night Cure is sold by W. E. Brown & Co. Miss the Easy Road. Two young exponents of the strenu ous life on Broadway were sitting in a hotel lobby the other evening discuss ing their plans for making some "big money" in the future. One of them confessed that his salary was "only $45 a week," and he was having a hard time of it in keeping the wolf from the door. Sitting near them was an old gentleman who overheard their conver sation and was evidently interested. "You fellows are making the mistake of your lives," the old gentleman said at last. "You are chasing the will o' the wisp while you have the means of wealth within your grasp. Why, I'm considered pretty well off financially, as you both know, and I never re ceived a salary of $45 a week in my life. But I saved money when I was your age, and I found opportunities for Investment that soon put me out of the salary class and made me a business man on my own account The trouble with young fellows nowadays is that they can't see the opportunities that are given them. They have their eyes glued to the get-rich-quick idea so tight ly that they pass by the only sure route to wealth."-New York Globe. Handwriting. As a rule, clear handwriting is more common with persons who do not write for a living than with those who do. Authors, for example, are creating something when they write; their mind is concentrated on this creative work; their thoughts are generally ahead of their hand, sometimes a whole sen tence, and they hurry to keep pace with them. The result is bad hand writing, but handwriting with individ uality in it, if not character. There is a theory that plain writing is most easily forged. This is not true. Ob scure signatures are most easily forged and the so called freak signatures, which nobody can read, eaefest of all. The best signature and the safest for a man who signs checks is neither too prim nor too involved; just plain, ev eryday writing, done in the easiest way, according to his temperament. Such a signature expresses as much character as any handwriting can, but It doesn't tell us a thing about the man's moral makeup; not a thing. Boston Globe. Wanted His Dues. A reservation Indian was disconso late over the breaking of his ax handle. He laid his misfortune before the "farmer" of the reservation, who, through pity, took a new handle from his private stock and adjusted it to the ax. The farmer then noticed that the ax was shockingly dull. So, motioning the owner to turn the grindstone, he expended a half hour's time in sharp ening the blade. When the rehablli tated ax was given to the Indian he was childishly gleeful, but still lingered about, Indicating by his actions that some feature of the transaction had not been adjusted. The farmer was a lIttle annoyed and called to an interpreter. "Ask the old fellow what he wants now," he di rected. After an exchange of grunts and ges tures the interpreter announced. "He wants 25 cents." "Twenty-five cents! What for?' "For turning the grindstone."-Har-4 per's. _______ The Other Way. -There was a hopeful gleam in the eyes of the young man with a slightly retreating chin as he approached the father of his ladylove. "Will you give your daughter to me in marriage, sir?" he asked in as firm 1 a tone as he could muster. "'m afraid you are not well enough acquainted with her, young man." re marked the father. "Why, I've seen her twice a week for nearly a year," said the astonished suitor. "That may all be," said the parent. "but If you knew much about her char acter you'd have said, 'Will you give me to your daughter in marriage?'" A Poet's Slip. A correspondent of London Notes and Queries has "caught out" Mr. Kipling In an extraordinary blunder. He finds It in the "Last Chantey" in these lines: Then said the souls of the slaves that men threw overboard: "Kenneled in the picaroon a weary band were we, But thy arm was strong to save, And it touched us on the wave, And we drowsed the long tides Idle till( thy trumpets tore the sea." "Of course," says the commentator,1 "the word Kipling meant to use was1 barracoon, the technical term for a: slave pen. Picaroon means a rogue." 1 Catching a Cobra. A driver on the Avontuur railway, South Africa, while staying at the Gamtoos caught a large cobra de ca pello alive. The cool way in which he did the trick, says a local paper, sent a cold shiver through every one who saw it. He simply caught hold of the point of Its tail, gave it a sudden jerk toward him and caught It by the back of the head. He then placed it in a biscuit tin. The snake was three inches in diameter and about four feet long. 1 -Facts Versus Terms. "I've a terrible toothache. What's good for it?" "Nonsense! You've no toothache. It's simply imagination."

Tired nerves, with that "no ambi tion" feeling that is commonly felt in spring or early summer, can be easily and quickly altered by taking what is known to druggists every where as Dr. Shoop's Restorative. One will abso lately note a changed feeling within 48 hours after beginning to take the Rie storative. The bowels get sluggish ini the winter time. the circulation often slows up, the kidneys ar-e inactive andt even the heart in many cases grows de-t cidedly weaker. Dr. Shoop's Restora- a tir a is recognized everywhere as a gen-t uine tonic to these vital organs. It i builds up and stretnathens the worn-Out weakened nerves: it sharpens the fail- 1 ing appetite, and universally aids di gestion.

One strange feature of this sea life of the tropics is the regular recurrence of migratory swarms of fish of very small size that return in huge numbers year after year with such absolute reg ularity that the natives calculate on the event on a certain day in each year and even within an hour or two of the day. One such swarm of fish forms the occasion of an annual holiday and feast at Samoa. The fish is not unlike the whitebait for which the English Thames has so long been celebrated, and each year it arrives at Samoa on the same day in the month of October, remains for a day or at the most two days and then disappears entirely till the same day of the following year. Why it comes or whence no curious naturalist has yet discovered, nor has anybody traced its onward course when it leaves the Samoan group, but the fact is unquestionable that suddenly, without notice, the still waters of the lagoon which surround each island within the fringing reef become alive with millions of fishes passing through them for a single day and night and then disappearing for a year as though they had never come.-London Stand ard. The Armenians. The history of Armenia is not cheer ful reading. With the exception of oc rasional brief periods, the Armenians have been almost continually under some foreign rule. Assyrians, Babylo aans, Medes, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Parthians, Saracens, Mongols nd Turks have each in turn dominated the country, and of all these successive loreign yokes the present one, that of the Turks, has been the longest and the heaviest. The highest activities of the Armenian people today are not to be found in Armenia proper, but rather in the marts of prominent cities the world over. This is especially notice ble in Constantinople, Smyrna and ther cities of the Levant, where the arked aptitude of the Armenian in business enables him practically to lominate the commercial situation. )ne example is the oriental rug trade, wvhich is practically controlled by Ar nenians not only in the east itself, but tiso in many western countries.-Argo aaut. How Sandy Fooled Sandy. An old gentleman in a village not far rom Glasgow breakfasted every morn ng on porridge and in order to save uel cooked a whole week's supply very Saturday.

"ow, Sandy," said he, "If ye eat -hat parritch ye'll hae that whisky, an' f ye don't ye won't." He stuck ag.ain at the last spoonful; ,ut, keeping his eye steadily on the ;lass of w7hisky, he made a bold, brave ~ffort and got it down. Then he slowly tnd carefully poured back the whisky nto the bottle, with a broad grin, as he ;aid to himself, "Sandy, my lad, I did re that time, ye auld fule!"-Dunldee advertser. One Hair Astray.

The accordion, which was a develop ment of a previously existing aeolina, was invented in 1829 by a Viennese named Damian and consists, as every one knows, of a small pair of bellows and a range of keys which regulate the admission of wind to metal reeds. Thu accordion sounds notes in one key only. The concertina proper was Invented on the same date by Charles Wheatstone, who later became a famous man of science. It seems curious that a man whose reputation rests chiefy on his electrical work and discoveries, who was one of the earliest men of science to make experiments in connection with submarine cables and who, more over, was an extraordinarily skillful decipherer of cryptographic writings, should also have dabbled in musical inventions. But, as a matter of fact, Wheatstone's musical work preceded his scientific discoveries. He went straight from school to the business of I manufacturing musical instruments, and it was in 1S29, at the age of twen ty-seven, that he took out his patent for the concertina. But he was more Interested In the scientific principles on which musical instruments are con structed than in music itself, and his acoustical and musical experiments soon drew him into the path which led to his many electrical discoveries. London Globe. An Emended Sign. Many a householder at the mercy of the painter will find a bond of sympa thy with the students of Stanford uni versity in the incident taken from the San Francisco Chronicle. The score of fraternity houses on the campus were in the process of being cleaned up In preparatior for the receptions and luncheons to be given to visitors on the day of the big football game. A man got the contract to paint one of the houses white with the understand ing that the job must be done and dry by a certain day. After making a rush start the painter asked permission to hang out his sign. His request was granted, and he put up a conspicuous announcement over the front porch, "These Premises Being Painted by Blank Blank." Then the work dragged. He would come one day and stay rtway two. So the impatient collegians added to the sign until the announcement read: "These Premises Being Painted by Blank Blank. Now and Then." A Calm Witness. A lawyer was cross examining a wit ness with a view to getting him mud died in his testimony. The following questions and answers occurred: "Did you see the plaintiff faint a short time ago?" "Yes, sir." "People turn pale when they faint, don't they?" "No, sir; not always." -'What! Do you mean to tell me that a person can faint and not turn pale? Did you ev er hear of such a case?" "Yes, sht'" "Did you ever see such a case?' "I did, sir." "When?" "About a year ago, sir." "Who was it?" "'Twas a negro, sir." The lawyer excused the witness. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. The Moabite Stone. The so called Moabite stone was dis covered by the Rlev. F. Klein in 180S among the ruins of Dhiban, the ancient Dibon. The stone was of black ba salt, rounded at thy. top and bottom, two feet broad, three feet tea inches high and fourteen inches in thickness, but was unfortunately broken by the Arabs, whose cupidity had been arous ed by the interest that was taken In It by the explorers. The fragments were afterward collected and laboriously fitted together, and the stone now stands In the Louvre at Paris. The Inscription of thirty-four lines is in Hebrew-Phoeniclan characters and ap pears to be a record of Mesha, king of Moab, mentioned in II Kings ii, refer ring to his successful revolt against the king of Israel.-New York Ameri can. A Model Friend. What true friendship consists In de pends on the temperament of the man who has a friend. It Is related that at the funeral of Mr. X., who died ex tremely poor, the usually cold blooded Squire Tlghtfist was much affected. "You thought a great deal of him, I suppose?" some one asked him. "Thought a great deal of him? 1 should think I did. There was a true friend! He never asked me to lend him a cent, though I knew well. enough he was starving to death!" Too Expensive Twvo little girls who were taken to see "Othello" were much impressed by the death scene. "I wonder whether they kill a lady every night?" asked one. "Why, of course not." said the other. "They just pretend to! It would be too expensive to really kill a lady every night!" ________ Sweet Sorrow. "I can't please my friends," sobbed the young bride.

When a queen bee becomes unpro ductive through old age, it is necessary for the bee keeper to supply the colony of bees with a new queen. This he does in the following manner: The old queen is removed from the hive and the bees are left alone for about twelve hours or longer, during which time they find out that they are queenless. The new queen is then put Into a cage made of wood and wire cloth, with an opening through one end. This open ing is filled tight with a mixture of honey and sugar. The cage thus pre pared is laid upon the tops of the frames in the hive. The bees soon dis cover the new queen in the cage and set to work upon the honey and sugar. In the hive bees recognize friends and strangers L. their sense of smell, and a strange queen entering a hive would be very quickly killed by the bees. By the time the queen is liberated from the cage she has acquired the scent of the hive and is therefore no longer a stranger.-London Globe. Eccentric Editions of Books. Mr. George Somses Layard in a book entitled "Suppressed Plates. Wood En gravings. Etc.." writes of the ridicu lous people who value such books as the first issue of the first edition of Dickens' "American Notes" just be cause there Is a mistake In the pagi nation, or a first edition of Disraeli's "Lothair" because the prototype of "Mgr.

The magistrate at the Liskeard po lice court might well have excused the laughter which greeted the remark of a police witness only a short time ago who said with all seriousness: "He was drunk, your honor, and couldn't stand. I told him to go away, and as he wouldn't I locked him up." The laugh in another court was against the solicitor who severely ask ed, "Were you present when you heard this?"

A once well known individual -who had lived every day of his life and gained from it a great experience left the following advice-and little else to his sons: "Drink slow; do not mix your liquor; never sit with your backs to the fire." It was an excelleut ire cept for the era in which it was given -the times when the dining room door was kept locked that there might be no shirking the claret and when the only cht.nce at the circuit mess of es caping intoxication was to drop under the table "like the rest." as Lord Cock burn tells us he did. and lie :uiet nay. even when our judges resented that discredit should be brought on drinking by misconduct. Everybody drank, and much too much, in those days, but especially the upper classes. A well known politician discharged his coachman for overturning him in his carriage. "I had certainly drunk too much, sir," urged the poor man, "but I was not very drunk, and gentlemen. you know, sometimes get drunk." "I don't say you were very drunk for a gentleman," returned his master, "but you were exceedingly drunk for a coachman"-London Illustrated News. To His Benefit. A Tennessee congressman enjoys telling a story of a darky in his dis trict who in a way is something of a philosopher. Some one was saying to Mose one day: "You're always In trouble, Mose. Why can't you try to do better? You're a likely sort of darky, and you could get along very well if only you'd behave yourself-keep a steady job instead of drinking bad whisky and getting your self behind the bars half the time." "Excuse me, boss," said Mose, with a grin. "but it looks to me like I makes more money this way. When I works hard I gets $7 a month and my board. When I gets arrested the jedge he says to me that it will be $10 or thirty days. How kin I afford to work for $7 a month when I'm worth $3 more In de lockup?"-St. Paul Pioneer-Press. Diagnosed the Case. A successful oculist recently put in a day or two with his new shotgun in the marshes. He soon noticed that when using the left hand barrel he generally brought down the game, but when using the other barrel he inva riably missed. He finally tacked a small target to a bush near the river's bank and fired at it several times with each barrel in order to bring the mat ter to a test. The result confirmed his suspicions. One barrel was all right, or nearly so, and the other was all wrong.
