Pale Faces Pale-faced, weak, and shaky women-who suffer every day with womanl weakness-need the hlP of a gentle tonic, %ft a building action on the womanly system. If youare weak-you need Carduf, the w3man's tonic, because Cardui will act directly on the cause of your trouble. Cardui has a record of more than 50 years of success. It must be good. TakICAROU The Woman's Tonic Mrs. Effie Graham, of Willard, Ky., says: "I was so weak I could hardly go. I suffered, nearly every month, for 3 years. When I began to take Cardui, my back hurt awfully. I only welhed 99 pounds. Notlong after I weighed 115. Now, i do all my work, and am In good health." Begin taking Cardul, today. Gloves and Kings. Gloves have always been connected with royalty. When the tomb of King John was opened a century ago it was discovered that his hands were gloved. In France the gloves worn by the king at the coronation were consecrated by the officiating bishop, and at English cron ations a g'ove is thrown down as a challenge to any one to dispute the roy.i! title. When George II. was crowned an unanown Jacobite came forwtard and lifted the glove on behalf of the absent Stuart. and at the coro znatiou of Edward VUI. the Duke of Norfolk h-iled to his majesty a pair embroidered with the ducal arms be cause a r:anor connected with the dnkes inheritance Is held by the serv ice of prese!ming the monarch with a rght hand glove on the day of the eoronation.-T. P.'s London Weekly. A Battl:ship's Eyes. In the design and equipment of Un cle Sam's newer battleships no feature Is more noticeable than the facilities 'f orded for observation by the officers and men stationed on the bridge-ob servations of the beacons and other aids to navigation, but more especially observations of the movements of a supposed enemy. On the bridge and on the "fire control" tower overhead are to be found artifcial aids for the "eyes of the battleship," ranging all the way from old- fashioned glasses to the powerful telescopes and kindred annihilators of distance that are too large to be supported at arm's length and manipulated after the fashion of the spyglasses of the ancient mariner. --Detroit Free Press. Saved Himsuelf. Uncle Mose, a plantation negro, was being nsked about his religious affilia tions. "I's a preacher, sah," he said. -Do you mean," asked the aston Ished questioner. "that you preach the gospel?" Mose felt himself getting into deep water. "No. sah," he said. "Ah touches that subject very light."-Success Mag aine. Brine.

Judge Knott-why did you rob this man in broad daylight? Prisoner-I eouldn't help it. your honor. I had an engagement every night that week. Every man should keep a fair sized emetery in which to bury the faults of his frienis.-Beecher. Dye Before. You Patch. "Never patch a garment just before it goes to the dyers," was the advice >f a young woman in a dyeirg estab tshment. "Unless the patch and the thread it is sewed on with are exactly the same kind of material as the gar ment they will come out of the dye pot different shades. Here Is a blue skirt that was brought to us cream colored. The cloth had worn through in several places, and the owner had patched the tiny holes so painstaking y that the patches could not be de tecied in the original color, but alter the dyeing they showed up a darker blue.

H armless, Old-Fashioned Rem edy Brings Back Color to Gray Hair and Makes It Grow, How many old-fashioned remedies are being used, which goes to show that it is hard to improve some of our grand mothers' old-time. tried remedies. For in stance, for keeping the hair dark, soft and glossy nothing equals our grandmothers' "sage tea." Although, by the addition of sulphur and other ingredients, *this old fashioned brew has been made more ef fective as a scalp tonic and color re storer. Nowadays, when our hair comes out or gets faded or grey. instead of going to the garden or garret for herbs and making the "tea"- ourselves, we simply go to the nearest drug store and ask for a bottle of wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. Druggists are authorized to sell it under guarantee that the money will be refunded if it fails to do exactly as rep resented. This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and is ..cmmendand sold by all druggists. The Conscience of Clara. One day when Mrs. Bell was mak' ing a neighborly call on Mrs. EXis the latter. wn the prestlee o. ber caller. diseharged her colored maid, whost obstreperousiess could be borne with no longer. A few weeks later Mrs. Bell again called on Mrs. Ellis, and to her sur prise her hostess informed her that Clara was back. The services of the maid were re quired by her mistress, who pressed the button in the drawing room. There was. however. no response. Finally Mrs. Ellis went out and waited on herself. While she was gone Clara, who was acquainted with Mrs. Bell. having served in her fam ily also. put her head in at the door and explained: -Ilis' Bell. I heard Mis' Ellis all the time. but do you recollec' the las' time you was here she discharged me an' said she'd never have me again? I said rd never come back too. But here I am. so we bofe lied. That's why I's ashamed to come in. I was ashamed for bofe of us."-New York Times. Chili Con Carne. From remotest Mexico comes this recipe for chill con carne. which is capable of warming whatever cockles the heart may have and of diffusing calories to one's works at large: First comes a fire of logs in the open. Second comes an olla of generous proportions. Into the olla put a gallon of water and plenty of the hot chills, and in that region of Mexico they ripen so hot that not even the rattlesnake will dare take refuge in their shade. Upon this be* ginning lay as much of a side of beet In oiie piece as may be aqueezed into the pot. Set the cover on this olls and lute It down with clay. Then put the pot into the fire and heap the glowing coals all over it, with particular atten tion to the lid, so that the luting may bake into brick. Keep the fire burning slowly all day long. When night has come scatter the 'embers, break the brick seal of the olla, fork out and throw away whatever of the meat re msins solid. The remainder is the chill con came. No sauce Is needed. The Love Affairs of Handel. Women greatly admired Handel. who was very handsome. but the serenity of the composer seems only to have been ruffed twice by love on his part. His first attachment was to a Iondon girl, a member of the aris. tocracy. 'Her parents believed him beneath her In social position, but were good enough to say that If he ab stained from writing any move music the question of marriage might be en tertained. It was easier to abstain from their daughter than from his art. and he did so. Years after almost the same thing occurred. Handel and an other beautiful pupil of his fell In love with each other, and proud parents gave him the choice between giving up his profession or their daughter. Music, "heavenly maid," was chosen. "The Love Affairs of Some Famous Men." Hitting the. Doctor. As today, in the days gone by the doctors were made the target of the jester's fling.

A Summer Without Nights. To the summer visitor In Sweden there is nothing more striking than Ihe almost total absence of night. At tockhom, the SwedIsh capital, the sun goes down a few milnutes before 10 'clock and rises again four hours later during a greater part of the month f June. But the four hours the sun les hidden In the frozen north are not hours of darkness The refraction of his rays as he passes around the north ole makes midnight as light as a loudy midday and enables one to read he fnest print without artificial light tt any time during the "aight."

Old HeIdelberg is justly celebrated for Its castle, for the great tun there n which holds 83,000 bottles of wine nd was actually filled on three oe easons, and for the ancient university with one professor for each seven sta dents; but perhaps the most interest Lug thing in the old city from one point of view is the Church of the Eloly Ghost.

"Railways" and "Railroads." We are all speating of "railwaly3" now instead of "railroads," as they do n America. Both words' seem to be of about equal age in this country. Cobbett in 1832 wrote of "rail-ways" with the hyphen. Scott in :1831 of "rail roads." But already in 1838 an en gineering journal declared that "rail way" by this timne seemed to be gen erally adopted as the popular form, touginearly twenty years later Ruis kin still talked of "railroada." It Is curious that America has preserved the word which renembers thle de sent of the rilway from the old rodd, while Americans speak of "engineers" and "conductors" where we say "driv er" and "guards," ~perpetuating~ the oldco-hn wan.-London Soecta Complete Line.
