SHORT TALKS BY L. T. COOPER. LIVFR TROUBLE. MICHAEL SILK. A dull, BluMiah liver always bring* a dull, sluggish feeling to the entire body. When the liver works properly the blood courses through the body in a bright red stream. When the liver is inactive the blood becomes dull and muddy, and it is full of poisonous matter. A great many people try to get a fine, clear, pink and white complexion by rubbing things on their faces. They might ruh a life time and the same yellow complexion would remain—for the liver causes it. Only bright, red blood brings fine complexions. Wood loaded with impurities from the )i>er sends the impurities out through the pores of the skin and turns the skin a brownish yellow. , I o get rid of the dull, heavy feeling and muddy, yellow complexion get the liver to working again. Two bottles of Coop er’s New Discovery will do this nine times out of ten though sometimes it takes four or five bottles.

Miss I<lu Lewis, the < Ira re Darling of Atneriea, as she is known, who has lived for fifty years at Lime Rock light house, off Newport, and has for twenty eight years been keeper of the beacon, recently celebrated her golden anni versary as a resident of the historic spot out on the waters, says a New port s|>eclal to the New York World. Miss liewis was sixty-eight years old in March last, but she is still alert in body and mind. Practically all of Newport took part in the celebration, for the Newport jieople are proud of the brave woman who has to her credit the saving of eighteen lives from the sea. Not a few of these rescues were made under circumstances that called for both daring and clever seamanship, and as a result of her courage and skill, under conditions that would have tViod the strongest heart, her fame became worldwide. Craft of every description, laden with admirers of the brave servant of Cncle Sam, made their way out to the light, where Miss Lewis kept open house, cheerily receiving and entertain ing her visitors. The lighthouse, which is known by the lighthouse board as one of tin* best managed on the coast, stands at tin* south end of the harbor on a cluster of big rocks. For twenty-five years Miss Lewis’ father was the keeper of the light, but for seventeen years of that time he was a paralytie, and his daugh ter kept the light. Eventually and through au act of congress, Miss Lewis succeeded her father and was the only woman to hold such u position. lu the interior of the house, which is wonderfully neat, are many medals and trophies, among them a silver medal from the New York Life Sav Ihg association for the rescue of two men in the harbor in a storm in March, IS*111. There is a hand painted ting picturing the rescue, the gift of tic* late Colonel Jim Fiske of New York, who established the Fall River line. The citizens of Newport presented Miss Lewis in ISOS with u fine rMW boat, the money for it being raised by English Girl Will Marry Her Fi ance on Lofty Nevada Peak. ROMANCE OF LONG STANDING Rich Miner Wine Mia* Who, Sixteen Years Ago, Slapped His Face In a Youthful Frolic For Daring to Kiaa Hor. Miss Lillie Edith Berryman of Gwl- near, Cornwall, England, who recently arrived at New York on the American liner New York, left the next day for Reno, New, where she is to marry Thomas Penzance Nicholls, an old sweetheart whom she first met under romantic circumstances, says the New York Times. The young woman Is the daughter of Edward Berryman, an English mining engineer. Her romance began on St. Michael’s mount in Corn wall and will culminate when the young couple are married on Wheeler's peak, Nevada, 13,036 feet above sea level. Miss Berryman is the picture of Ma lielle Gilman, now Mrs. Corey, and during the voyage from Southampton some of her fellow travelers Insisted on calling her Miss Gilman, greatly to her annoyance. Miss Mary G. Nich olls, a relative of her fiance, met her at the pier, and she went to Miss Nich olls’ home in New York. She started on her trip to the west, smiling and HARVARD HOUSE RESTORATION Hew Hem* of Mother *f American UnlveraKy’o Founder Woo Saved. The raatoratlon has recently been completed of the John Harvard house In Stntford-on-Avon, England. This house Is oue of the most Interesting of all the relics of Shakespeare’s time. It stands in High street opposite the oorn exchange. It was built lu 1506 and was the home of the mother of John Harvard, the founder of Harvard university, Cambridge, Maaa. The house will now be preserved as a public Institution, but It had a very narrow escape from destruction at the hands of the vandals, anys the London Chronicle. It Is really surprising that It has escaped for more than 300 years. Until recently It was nsed as au auc tioneer's office and adapted for busi ness purposes. Some former occupant had plastered over all the fine wood carving of the Interior, and the front In the ground floor was partly bricked up and a modern door made In the center. The building was fast falling Into a state of dilapidation through neglected drainage and other causes. In a few years’ time It would have col lapsed. It was bought by Nelson Mor ris of Chicago, who commissioned Miss Corelli to secure it and to have It re stored. The work of restoration has now been completed. The utmost care has been taken to preserve all the old fittings, the oak woodwork, the carvings which were covered up with plaster or painted, and the public can now form ap opin ion of what the house was like when It was built. A new door had to be made. OLD SORES kS? SSL.

Devil’s Most Cherished Weapon For Garnering Harvests, Says Pastor. More evil lurks lu a poor little kiss than all the other vices put together, according to the Rev. L. I). Bass of tie* Calvary Baptist church at Cairo, 111. lu his discourse the other night Mr. Bass, according to a Cairo special dis patch to the New York World, said the kiss was the devil’s most eherished and fruitful weapon for bringing tn his harvests and did more to till hell than whisky, drugs and all evils invented rolled into one. lb- said: “There is something won derfully magnetic and thrilling in a kiss. When two sets of lips come to gether It is like two clouds charged with electricity, the one positive and the other negative. And the result is, an emotional explosion and cloudburst of excessive passion and ecstasy, j Nothing has more of heaven’s lire oy th<- lire of hell than a ki'S. The things perverted are the worst instrumentali ties for deadly evil And I know nothing as subtle and as damning as a burning, thrilling kiss.

Much of the country about Laud's End, England, Is In the estate of Lord St. Levan. On fine days the grounds arc thrown open, and the young people go there for their holiday. One June afternoon sixteen years ago a party of j girls were spending the afternoon on St. Michael’s mount when a crowd of hoys, many of them just entering their ; teens, came along. Among them was ^ sandy haired Thomas Nicholls. They ' selected their playground near where girls were having a good time, and cricket game soon lost interest. Within an hour hoys and girls were playing together. The fun waved fast, and some boy said to Nich< Is, who had been romping with a slim young girl with chestnut hair, “1 dare you to ki>s that girl.” Young Nicholls would not take tin- dare and undertook to kiss his play mate. A stinging blow on the cheek was his reward, and soon after tin- party broke up. Some years later Nicholls came t" this country, and, going west, he made a comfortable fortune and became a mining operator. A year ago last March he went back to Penzance, where he was brought up. One day while on the main street of Gwinear be suddenly grubbed a com panion's arm and asked, “Jack, tell un* who is that pretty girl coming down the street?” ‘‘Which—tin* red haired one?” asked Jack. “No; the tall, slim girl with the brown dress and the mass of chestnut One of their i hair," said the excited mining man "Why, that's Miss Berryman, the gir; you tried to kiss.” Withiu two weeks after this chanei- meeting on the street Nicholls had been Introduced to Miss Berryman, and two months later lie returned to Amor lea with Miss Berryman’s promise to come over within a year and marry him. Nicholls wanted Miss Berryman to marry hint St. Michael’s mount, where they first met, and return to America as lbs wife. She declared that she could not wed then. "I cannot marry now,” said the gir), "and. as you are now an Amer lean and have to go hack to your busi ness, I will promise you that within a year I will come to America and, in stead of St. Michael’s mount, I’ll mar ry you on the highest mountain in America you choose.” And this Is why Miss Berryman came over in the cabin of the New York and why she and the young min lug man are to be married on the sum mlt of Wheeler's peak. of the house and looks quite Eliza bethan.

Deeming a legislative tax or munici pal mandate against nonmatrimonia) ly inclined men as impracticable, Tul sa’s unmarried women have hit upon a scheme for bringing the men to their knees in suppliauce for their hearts and bands that bids fair to he a great suc cess, says a Tulsa (1 T.) special dis patch to the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

This money goes into a com mon fund and is apportioned pro rata among tin* members as rapidly as they marry, with the understanding it be applied to the furnishing of the home The prospect of assistance in this man ner lu "going to housekeeping,” it i- believed, will nerve the men to speak the word they have long hud at the tip of the tongue, hut which they have re frained from uttering for fear they could not make good financially.
