| LISZT SMOKED CIGAR DAIL1
But Great Musician Insisted on Hav

of Misfortune.
Liszt was in the habit of smoklnj
one cigar a day. But that one cigai
1 was an exceedingly choice one. Whei
he was starting on a journey he tol(
his valet how many days he would b<
away and his valet put into the valis<
1 a corresponding number of those Vir
* ginia cigars.
7 Once when Liszt was going to Ital:
: the chief customs officer at the fron
' tier post of Chiasso asked him if h<
' had anything to declare. The musi
clan, with his thoughts centered oi
his music rather than his cigars, madi
1 signs to the effect that he had noth

1 without the traveler agitating himsel
* over the search. Persently a numbei

and he was ordered to pay a fine o:

Ricordi says he kept his vow. Oth

t [ To Avoid Colds,
n j Catching cold is not so much a sigi
e i that there has been great exposure
t ! but that the body has no resistance t
b small amount of exposure. The onl;
[] way of avoiding catching colds is t
f accustom oneself to every kind o
?- change of temperature, not to try an
e keep the body at a uniform heat. I
;, is clear that if the body is kept withi:
i- a narrow range of temperature, every
>. thing outside that will be dangeroue
s whereas if it fcs familiarized with
wide range of temperature, everythin,
e within that can have no ill effect. Ej
D ercise in the open air, without warr
wraps, is the chief protection agalns
catching cold.

Meanings changed by time
8tudy of Word Building Through Centuries
Brings Out Many Most
interesting Points.
Word building is afe much a piece
of carpentry as is bouse building.
Only it takes longer. Sometimes a
century or more. And by that time
the word's first meaning is usually
changed.
For example, the old word for
"neighbor" was "sib." One's good
neighbor was known as one's "good
sib." This became shortened to "godsib,"
and later to "gossip." Then the
word's whole meaning changed and
gossip no longer meant good neigh-1
bor, but applied to the sort of talk
exchanged between good neighbors.
Take the word "farmer," too. The
old word for "farmer" was "boor."
/a- j ?1 m ua #ak /to.
(AQU uuur mier nao uocu >ui uv
scribing farmer-like or rough per
sons.) The farmer living nearest tc
one was known aB the "nlghbor," and
this phrase, in course of time, wae
twisted to "neighbor."
You've heard the proverb: "Little
pitchers have big ears." Well, it
doesn't refer to the utensil that holds
water or goes to the corner side door. |
"Pitcher" was a slang term with some ;
Buch meaning as our word "chap" or
"fellow." Thus, "Little fellows have |
big ears" is a more sensible rendering
of the proverb.
STONES THAT SEEK COMPANY
Peculiarity of Small Rocks of Nevada
Hrau/a Th?m Tnnothrr an
by a Magnet.
"T-avel'ng stones," from tbe size of
a pea to six inches in diameter, are
found in Nevada. When distributed od
on a floor or other level surface, within
two or three feet of one another,
they immediately begin to travel toward
a common center, and there lie
huddled like a clutch of eggs in a
nest. A single stone removed to a
distance of feet, upon being released,
at once started with wonderful
and somewhat comical celerity to
join its fellows.
These queer Btoncs are found in a
region that <s comparatively level and
little more than a bare rock. Scattered
over this barren region are little
basins, from a few feet to a rod
or two in diameter, and it is in the
bottom of these that the rolling stones
are found.
The cause for the strange conduct
of these stones is doubtless to he
found in the material of which they
are composed, which appears to be
loadstone or magnetic iron ore.

Health ? Factor in Success.
The largest factor contributing to a
man's success is undoubtedly health.
It has. been observed that a man is.
seldom sick when his bowels are regular?he
is never well when they are
constipated. For constipation you will
find nothing quite so good as Chamberlain's
Tablets. They not only move
the bowels but improve the appetiteand
strengthen the Jige. tion. They are

Domestic Science. fl
The Chicago woman who advertised
for a domestic, and offered a weekly
auto rido as one of the inducements,
got but one reply. She was requested
to send a photograph of the chauffeur
so that it could be determined whether
the place was as attractive as desired.
Aa the lady's husband himself
drives the car ther'photograph was not.
sent, and there is search In otherdirections
for a domestic. It would:
seem from this that the service must,
have more than ordinary inducements s
these days, and then doesn't suit some*.
