No Fun For Boys.
In Rome of the cantons of Switzerland
they have special laws made for
boys. Here is a sample of them:
"If a boy throws a stone and hits a
man he may be fined 3 francs.
"If a boy throws a snowball and hits
a woman he may be fined 2 francs.
"If a l)oy calls a Rirl a 'red head' he
may be fined from 2 to 4 francs.
"If a boy throws at fro?s in a pond
vlthout being ordered to do so by his
father or teacher he shall be fined a
franc.
"If a boy throws a stone and breaks j
a window belonging to some one else I
his father may whip hltu or he may be
fined 2 francs.
"If a boy makes a face at his teacher
or draws pictures of him on his
slate or speaks 111 of hlin he may be
fined 5 francs and have to beg his pardon.
"If a boy stones a dog or chases a
cat It Is a fine of a franc.
"If two boys fight without the consent
of their teacher It Is a fine of 3
francs.
"If a boy steals apples or other fruit
It Is a fine of 2 francs, and he shonld be
beaten by his father."
The American boy who reads the
above will wonder what the Swiss boy
has to live for. About all he can do
and not be fined Is to hare the measles
or whooping cough.?Exchange.
Man's Unwisdom.
The simplest and plainest laws of
health are outraged every hour of tho
day by the average man. Did Adam
smoke? Did Eve wear corsets? Did
Solomon chew tobacco? Did Ruth
chew gum? Did the children of Israel
, make for a beer gardes after crossing
the Red sea? Did Rebecca eat gumdrops
and Ice cream and call for soda
water? Adam was the first and was
made perfect from head to heel. How
long wonld be remain so after eating
a mince pie before going to bed? Suppose
he had slept In a bedroom fire bj
even, with the windows down, ths
door shut and two dogs under the bed?
8uppose Eve had laced herself up In
a corset, put on tight shoes, sat up all
hours of the night eating her fill of
trash and sizzled her hair. When you
come to look at the way a man misbehaves
himself you can only wonder be
ever lived to get there. Verily, the average
man behaves as If he were little
better than a fool.?Woodbury (Conn.)

A Pony Sentinsl.
burlng one of General Custer's Indian
campaigns be had a boy bugler
with him who was mounted on a circus
pony he had picked up somewhere.
The animal was not only full of tricks,
but he proved himself a better sentinel
than any of the soldiers. Three times
In four months he saved the camp
from a night attack when no other <
suspected that danger was near. Upon i
one occasion the pony, who was loose
camd walking about camp, discovered a
-sentinel asleep on his post That was
wrong, and the animal knew it was,
:and he gave the soldier such a bite on <

- arouse the whole camp. Pony and boy
both died In Custer's last battle. The
pony had twelve arrows In his body
when found.?Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune.
As It Looked to Him.
*'une of the ladies In fancy dress was, <
i though fair enough, a trifle fat, and ;
we will not say that she did not look i
N well out of the thirties. And there <
apake to her a reporter:
"May I ask what character you represent?"
"Helen of Troy," she answered. J
"What did you think It was?"
"Well," he murmured, ungallantly
enough, as weights and measures confused
his brain and he gazed on her
ample proportions. "I thought you
might be Helen of Avoirdupois!"
One For the Debating Club.
A group of half a dozen physicists,
all eminent; a sheet of paper; a pencil.
With the latter one of the group draws
a pulley, a cord over the pulley, a tree,
a bough from which the pulley hangs. 1
To one end of the cord Is attached a ,
stone; to the other cord clings a mon-,
key. The stone balances the monkey.
If the monkey proceeds to cnmD op
the cord, what will happen? Will the
atone, rise or fall? Heated discussion;
breakup of the party; no result Can
any reader help to settle this question?
An Aneedote of Agassis.
On one occasion a person entered
Professor Agasslz's room with a picture
which be desired to sell, denominated
a "Blrdseye View of Cambridge." i
The professor contemplated it for a.
moment, lifted his eyes, looked at the
render of the picture, and said, with
his characteristic accent "Well, I
thank my God zat I am not a bird."?

Thomas A. Edisou, the great
American inventor, says: "Fully
eighty per cent of the illness of mankind
comes from eating improper
food or too much food; people are
inclined to over-indulge themselves."
This is where indigestion finds its
beginning in nearly every case. The
stomach can do just so much work
and no more, and when you overload
it, or when you eat a wrong
kind of food, the' digesti ve organs
connot possibly do the work demanded
of them. It is at inch times that
the stomach needs help; it demands
help, and warns yon by headaches
belching, sour stomach, nausea and
indigestion. Yon should attend to
this at once by taking something

Those who desire to pay their tari*
through the mail, would expedite matters
by dropping the Treasurer a postal
asking for the amount of the i r tax so as
to avoid sending the wrong amount,
also stating the township or townships,
(if property is owned in more than one)
and if possible give school district where
property is located, also state whether
poll or road tax, or both are wanted.
After paying taxes examine your receipts
and see if all of your property is
covered, if not, see about it a" once.
By following the above suggestions
complications and additional cost may
be avoided.

Kidneys
Cause more trouble than any other organ of
the body. The funotlon of ibe .cldneys la to
separate Inorganic salt and water In the process
of circulation, and to remove them and
their atlondantpolsons from the tody through
the bladder. Therefore when the kidneys
gecome diseased and weak they are naturally
; unable to perform their work properly, and
pains In the back. Inflammation of the bladder
and urinary disorders are the result. It Is
Imperative that a prompt relief be afforded,
which is Impossible unless you remove the
cause.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills
promptly eliminate poisons from the system
and at the same time make the kidneys wsll
and strong.
For Weak Kidneys. Backache, inflsmmstlon
of the bladder and all
urinary troublee Do Witt's Kidney
and Bladder Pills are unsurpassed.

Gold-mith ? * he walked with a frleud
lip Fleet street, ami he gave her a shilling.
Ills companion, knowing some
thing ?f the woman, censured the writer
for his e a cess of humanity, suylug
that ibe shilling was misapplied, as
she would spend it for liquor. "If it
makes her happy In any way. my end
Is answereJ." replied Goldsmith.
Another proof that the doctor's gen
erosity was not always regulated by
discretion was at a time when, after
much deiay. a day was fixed to pay
the ?40 due his tailor. Goldsmith procured
the money, but a friend calling
upon him and relating a piteous tale
of his goods being seized for rent, the
thoughtless but benevolent author gave
him all the money. The tailor called
and was told that If he had come a little
sooner be could have had the
money, but that be bad just parted
with every shilling of It to a friend In
distress, adding, "I would have been
an unfeeling monster not to have relieved
trouble when In my power."
Heart Protectors.
Many persons are puzzled to know
why policemen wear their badges so
low on their coats Instead of on the
flap made for that purpose. As a matter
of fact the badge or star, as be
calls It, of many a policeman is right
next to his heart. Some of the bluecoats
can thank their "stars" for being
alive. This little metal shield ha9 de
fleeted the bullet of burglar or highwayman,
and at times, too, has stopped

there are many cases on record show

Peels safer In keeping the star at a rital

wear their stars on their rests, but always

so accustomed to the little protector
that they feel uneasy without It?

Bo veracious a man as Sir Walter
Bcott had a wise dog, a bull terrier.
Bald the novelist once: "I taught him

The Wealthy Angler's Tack!* Outfit.
The wealthy angler who wants the
best of everything has a special six
foot oblong case or trunk for his
fishing rods, which, being the best,
cost about $30 each. He hau a heavy
urf casting rod, a lighter hay casting
rod and a set of fly rods for fresh water
Ashing. His reels, of srtxleh be
must have various types, cost $75 each
and upward. For his fishing tackle
there Is .a special trunk, In which are
the beat Irish linen Hoes, hooks aad
flies of all descriptions, sinkers, swivels,
squids, spoons, spinners, floats, artificial
bait, etc. Such fishermen gansr
ally carry duplicate tackle and several
duplicates of pole tips and such things
as m?v be most likely to break. The
total coat of a wealthy angler'* tackle
outfit range* from 1250 to $1.000.?New

Fire and Water.
Water will extinguish a fire because
the water forma a coating over the
fuel, which keepa it from the air, and
the conversion of water into steam
draws off the heat from the burning
fuel. A little water makes a Are
fiercer, while a large quantity of water
puts It out The explanation la that
water Is composed of oxygen and hydrogen.
When, therefore, the fire can
decompose the water Into Its simple
elements It serves as fuel to the Ham*.
A Hard Drinking Bout
Among the songs of Robert Burns
Is one upon a whistle used by a Dane
who visited England In the retinue of
Anne of Denmark. This whistle was
placed on the table at the beginning of
a drinking bout, which was won by
whoever was last able to blow It The
Dane conquered all comers, says the
story, until Sir Robert Lawrie of Maxwelton,
"after three days and three
nights' hard contest, left the Scandinavian
under the table."
