John Pronklln, a saloonkeeper nt
Oyster Bny, Now York, has a big
tank cooled by water from a well 1GG
feet deep. In It he keeps his beer
In kegs and also a colony of twenty
seven big brook trout thnt usad to
swim In Mill Neck creek boforo they
were brought to the saloon.
Recently tho bartender at Pronto
Hn's saloon dumped four now quarter
kegs into tho pool. Thut was at 7
o'clock. An hour later, Just as Pronk
lln stnrted to work tho beer pump,
something slapped up against tho in
sldo of tho door leading into tho
room containing tho tank. It slapped
again harder than before, and then
thero were moro slaps.. John Pronk
lln stopped pumping and opened tho
door. As ho did so tho biggest trout
In tho tank turned a handspring on
its fins and went flopping toward tho
bar, threo others followed, and sev
eral moro were tumbling around on
tho floor besldo tho tnnk. Somo of
thoso In tho pool wero jumping clear
over tho beer kegs. Somo wero land
ing on top of them nnd sliding down
tho Bides, and all wero beating tho
water, splashing, and rolling over, and
chasing each other liko mad.
Two malos woro fighting. 'They
hml tholr Jaws lockod together nnd
tho water was streaked with blood.
Ono hnd Its back fin partly torn off,
nnd somo wero swimming on tholr
backs, somo wero going tail forotnost,
nnd somo kept their heads out of tho
tank for a long time, whllo they wig
gled tholr flns and "treadod" water.
All bumped into tho beer kegs, nnd
nppeared to bo confused generally
whenever they started to go any
where. Now, John Pronkln knowB thoso
trout well, and thoy hnd never dono
such stunts boforo, so, when a flno
two-pounder rolled over nnd slapped
Its tail hard against tho sldo of ono
of tho kegs, Johu Pronkln discovered
something. Ho discovered that ono
of tho "quarters" which had been put
into tho water full of boor nt 7
o'clock didn't contain beer at 8. A
hoop was broken and tho buug was
out
Tho next day John Pronklln's trout
lay under tho Rpout with Uio cold
spring water nnd air bublcs trickling
soothingly down their backs. Their
food for tho day lay untouched rtt tho
bottom of tho tank. Ono only Is
dead. It was found under a keg.

The Plaint of the British Fiddler.
The annual complaint of English
musicians comes from London. It is
that an English musician has no
chance to get work in competition
with foreigners. There are 300 orches
tral bands In London timing tho sea
son, and practically all of them are
made up of aliens. Tho one chance an
Engllshment has of steady employ
ment is to disguise himself and pre
tend to be a German or a Belgian. One
band of sixteen wears foreign uni
forms, trims beards in foreign stylo
and speaks only in foreign monosyl
lables, but every ono is an English
man, forced to the subterfuge by tho
necessity of making a living.
Tho color of eyes has hitherto
chiefly concerned tho novelist and tho
rpoet and lately, says tho London Ex
press, the cold-blooded statistician
has been looking into them.
It is announced that, taking tho av
erage of Europe and Amorlca, 44.C
per cent of men have light eyes, in
cluding blue and gray. Tho propor
tion of women having bluo or gray
eyes is 32.2 per cent. In other words,
blue eyes aro decidedly rarer among
women than among men.
Men havo light eyes oftener than
women, but in tho intermediato
shades between light and dark tho
percentage of the two sexes Is very
nearly tho same. In this Intermedi
ate category aro brown and hazel
eyes. Tho percentage of these among
men is 43.1 and among women 45.1.
Bluo eyes aro considered to possess
great attractions. This was tho case
among tho Greeks and Romans of
classic times. Upon tho goddess
Minerva was bestowed a surname to
signify the bluencss of her eyes.
Gray eyes havo ever been tho ideal
of all great novelists. Among tho
number Charlotte Bronto, Georgo El
lot, Kilkio Collins nnd Charles Rcado.
Most of tho heroine in up-to-dato Ac
tion aro gray-eyed maidens.
Of tho living great, as well as tho
famous dead, most havo oyes of gray
or blue. Shakespeare had eyes of
gray; so had nearly all tho English
poets. Coleridge's eyes wero largo,
light gray, prominent nnd of liquid
brilliancy. Byron's eyes wero gray,
fringed with long black lashes.
Charles Lamb's glittering eyes
were strangely dissimilar in color,
ono being hazel, tho other having
specks of gray In tho Iris. Chatter
ton's brilliant gray eyes wero his
most remarkablo feature. Under
strong excitement ono appeared
brighter and larger than tho other.
As to green eyes, they aro for glory.
Tho Empress Catharine of Russia
had eyes of this hue.

THE BENEFIT OF FASTING
Why Russell Sage Moves.
Russell Sage Is going to move from
the modest little house in Fifth avenue,
New York, whero ho has lived for
forty-two years. Ho can no longer
"stand for" his neighbors. First some
one put a candy storo next door to
him. Then another storo was estab
lished on tho other side. At tho rear
of the candy store is an immense fan
designed to cool tho ico cream parlor.
This fan is right next to threo of the
windows of his dining room. Tho
noise It makes Is deafening. On tho
Forty-second street side thero is a
smoking pnrlor, and as Mrs. Sage de
tests the smell of tobacco sho is com
pelled to keep her windows closed. So
they are going to move to tho now de
serted mansion of tho late Charles
Broadway Rouss. On one side lives
Henry Clews, on tho other D. Ogden
Mills.
Tho fast cure is ono of tho new
ideas from which great benefits may
bo derived by suffering humanity if
they will but observe its simple rules.
It is already believed In by many who
have adopted Its ways with good re
sults, but moro should follow. It is
an undisputed fact among men of
science that a great many of tho ail
ments that humanity suffers from
proceed directly from tho stomach,
whllo as many moro proceed Indirect
ly therefrom. Apoplexy, heart falluro
and in many cases sudden deaths, can
be traced directly to tho stomach,
overtaxed and weak, yet pushed on
to tho task for which It is unequal.
The result is inevitable.
A restricted diet Is always an aid
toward recovery. Fasting In connec
tion with cup3 of hot water drunk
during tho day as a tonic, will pro
duce remarkably quick cures In somo
stomach troubles. Doctors prescribe
milk diets and other diets not so
much for tho virtue of tho diet itself
as to avoid tho harmful effects of tho
foods It excludes. To keep a person
on a milk diet for a week or two
means that tho stomach gets a com
plete rest.
Dyspepsia especially yields to fast
ing and light meals rather than diet
ing. Indigestion is only a symptom
of something awry with tho internal
machinery, and ono of tho most com-mon-senso
cures Is to glvo tho ma-
f chlnery a rest and let tho body right
Itself; but dyspeptics aro continually
dosing themselves with drugs or try-1
ing to find something they can eat i
with safety. Everything disagrees '
with tho overburdened digestion, but
they never Btop to givo tho wheels a
rest. Like tho foolish muleteer who
put tho load all on ono sldo and then
tried to mnko things balanco by put
ting a heavy stone on tho other, they
overload tholr weakened stomach with
food and then attempt to counter bal
ance by ladling in a lot of powerful
drugs.
Health and beauty aro tho glories of porfect 'womanhood. "Women
who suffer constantly with weakness peculiar to their sex cannot re
tain their beauty. Preservation of pretty features and rounded form is.
a duty women owo to themselves. J
When women aro troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful
menstruation, weakness, loucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration of tho
womb, that bearing down feoling, inflammation of tho ovaries, back
ache, bloating (or ilatulonco), general debility, indigestion, and norvous
(irostration, or aro beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness,
assitudo, excitability, irritability,' norvousness, slooplessness, melan
choly, " all gono " and " want-to-bo-lof t-alono " feelings, blues, and hope
lessness, they should remember thero is ono tried and truo remedy.
Lydiu E. lMnkimm'8 Vegetable- Compound removes such troubles.
Case of this Prominent Chicago Woman Should Give Everyone
Confidence in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
DEAn Mns. Pinkiiam: It affords mo great pleasure, indeed, to add my
testimonial to tho great number who aro today praising Lydltt 13. Plnk
huin's Vogotablo Compound. Threo yenrs ago 1 broke- down from ex-
ccsslvo physical and mental strain. L was unable to
secure proper rest, also lost my appetite, and I became so
norvous nnd irritable too thnt my friends trembled, and
1 was unable to attend to my work. Our physician pre
scribed for mo, but as I did not seem to improve, I was
advised to go away. I could neither spara tho time nor
money, and was very muah worried when, fortunately,
ono of my club friends called. She told mo how sho had
been cured of ovnrinn troubles, and how like my symp
toms were to hers, seven bottles of your medicino cured
her, and sho insisted that I talco somo. '
" I did so, nnd am glad that I followed her
advice. Within six weeks I was a different
woman, strong nnd robust in health, and havo
been bo over since.
" A number of ray friends who havo been
troubled with ailments peculiar to our sex
havo taken your compound, nnd havo also been
rrrcatlv benefited." Miss Elizabeth Daxey,
270 Loomls St., Chicago, 111. President of tho St. Ruth's Court, Order of For-
rcstcrs, Catholic.
What is left for tho women of America, aftor reading such letters
as wo publish, but to boliove. Don't somo of you who aro sick and miser
able feel how wicked you aro to remain so, making life a burden for
yourself and your friends, when a euro is easily and inexpensively
obtained ? Don't you think it would pay to drop somo of your old
prejudices and "Try I. yd hi 13. Pinkham's Vcpctnblo Compound,
which is better than all the doctors for cures ? " Surely tho cxporienco
of hundreds of thousnnds of women, whom tho Compound has cured,
should convince nil women.
Follow the record of this medicine, and remember that thesq cures
of thousands of women whoso letters aro constantly printed in this
paper wero not brought about by "something else," but by Iiydln. E.

Thoso women who rcfuso to accept anything olso aro rewarded a

Quit Coffee and Get Well.
A 'woman's coffee experience is in

for solid food would ferment and
cniiEo such a pressure of gas and such
distress that I could hardly breathe at

"From chilhood up I had been a
coffee and tea drinker and for the

ferent physicians but could get only
temporary relief. Tboa I read an ar
ticlo telling how somo ono had been
cured by leaving off coffeo and drink
ing Postum, and it seemed so pleasant
just to read about good health I de
cided to try Postum in place of coffee.
"I made tho change from coffeo to
Postum and such a chango there is in
me that I don't feel liko tho samo per

and liko it better than coffeo. My
health now is wonderfully good.
"As soon as I made tho shift from
coffeo to Postum I got better and now
all of my troubles aro gone. I am

GOOD IN OLD-AGE PENSIONS
Simply speaking, tho rayment of an
old-ago pension, say of $100 each to
every citizen, nialo or female, who
has passed tho ago of 70, does not
involve a heavy burden to tho state.
Let us now couslder for a moment
tho advantages which tho state, as an
organization, would receive from such
a system. As matters stand, the man
agers of asylums, whether for tho
poor, or perhaps for tho blind, or tho
insane, or other Invalids, aro always
at their wits' ends to know what they
shall do with tho aged people who
aro crowded upon them. Tho alms
houses of towns and counties are
filled in the same way.
Now, all these old people are better
cared for in the homes of old neigh
bors, or old friends, very possibly of
sons, or of daughters, who would -re-celvo
them and tako chargo of them
humanely If thoy could recelvo a Utile
ready money for tho extra expense.
As society organizes itself, a very
little money goes a long way in tho
average, household of an American.
Tho moment it nuueara that a grand
father or a grandmother has $100 a'
year to his good, that moment wo
shall find that tho burden thrown
upon tho state and town in their asy
lums is reduced by a larger propor
tion than by tho charge mado by the
pensions upon tho treasury. Thus
tho pension system has tho great ad
vantage that It maintains life in
homes, and that It abates tho neces
sity for great Institutions or asylums.

dismissed that beneficent nnd kindly
Instinct-toward your fellow man of
