They Will Do Away With Several of
the Little Annoyance of Every
day Life.
Are you annoyed by the perspira
tion or wind dislodging your nose
glasses? Nose glasses can be held
firmly to the nose by the use of pow
dered rosin. This is flesh-colored
and the heat will make the glasses
stick so that neither ordinary wind
nor perspiration will dislodge them.
Are you a housekeeper or a me
chanic and suffer from cracking
linger nails made brittle through
your work? Finger nails can be
kept from splitting and breaking by
applying a little olive oil to them
once or twice a day.
Do you find scaling fish an un
pleasant task? Then dip it in hot
water a few minutes before doing so
and see how easy it becomes.
Does the day's work leave you in
a condition that will not permit you
enjoying life? Then draw water
iut; the bathtub, get into it and let
the water from the hot water faucet
run on a towel, lay this lengthwise
down your spine, gradually applying
colder water until it is direct from
the cold water faucet. You'll feel
like a different person. If MOM rel

dry salt and gently' rub your back
while it is wet from the hot water
you will be receiving the treatment

land, but his remark has some apt
ness applied to the administration of
the law in this country and, indeed,
the world over.
We make no reference here to
glaring miscarriage of justice. We
hare in' mind the good-intcntioned
acts of judges and magistrates that
sometimes jar on the sensibilities;
such an act as that of the presiding
judge in general sessions in New
York the other day who sentenced
an old man of seventy to the peni
tentiary for three monthB for steal
ing a pair of spectacles.
It is right and proper that a man
should be punished for theft, but
justice should be largely tempered
with mercy in the case of a poor old
man. We have had one or two mag
istrates in this town who would have
'discharged him and given him the
price of a pair of spectacles; and
there is a possibility that in this cae
such a "punishment" would more
nearly fit the crime. Knowledge of
l:iw is a mighty good thing to have
on the bench. A big heart, a sense
of proportion and common hoss sense
are even more important. Pitta

THEIR QUARREL
THIS SOLID EARTH A JELLY
It Quivers and Vibrates, Responding
to Wind. Water and Frost,
Say Scientists.
The "aolid earth is evidently a
misnomer; at least, two Germon sci
entists claim that the land is almost
as unstable as the sea.
They, by a long series of obser
vations, have proved that the earth
hat regular waves. In Germany these
oscillations are extremely small,
have a duration of between three
and ten seconds, and seem to have
some relation to the waves of the
North sea.
The most curious discovery was
that the seismograph at Goettingen
showl very irregular oscillations of
the earth, having periods of from
three-quarters of a minute to three
minutes, which have some sort of a
connection with the frosts of south
eastern Europe. These oscillations
are at a maximum at six o'clock in
the morning and diminish until
three in the afternoon.
Even the wind has set up vibra
tions in the soil that the instruments
are delicate enough to detect.
In Cuba the Infant Takes His Lacteal
Fluid Direct From the
Goat.
Down in Cuba they have solved
the problem of the bottle and the
baby. No more unwashed bottles,
nor half-soured milk threatens the
little life with the dread specter of
cholera infantum. When a Cuban
infant has had its morning bath the
click-daek of little hoofs is heard
in the patio. Enter a sleek, well-fed
nanny goat, led by a maid, or per
haps by the adoring grandmother.
Baby is held in position by his fond
mamma or nurse, and while some
body else grasps the animal firmly
by the hind legs the chihi takes his
breakfast direct from the same lac
teal fount as the kid. These four
footed wet nurses are now kept in
every well-to-do Cuban family where
there are young children. They are
not allowed to roam at large, but
are carefully fed and regularly
bathed and brushed by a special attendant.

The train rolled into the little sta
tion and as Gregory Moore stepped
from the platform he looked for
some means of transportation to hia
sister's country home three miles
distant. The only public convey
ance was the long rattling stago
drawn by a pair of lean grays, and
ns the interior of that ancient ve
hicle smollcd strongly of mold, and
n it was minus springs of any sort,
Ot (gory decided in favor of the clear
autumn air and prepared to walk to
tlreonlands, after arranging for hia
luggaga to be sent over.
As he left the station a smart little
tr.ip rolled up to the platform and
rd. extremely pretty girl inquired for
several express packages placed in
the trap, while on the seat beside the
girl was poised an enormous blue
bandbox.
"T.e careful, please," warned the
' i'! anxiotnlY as the express agent
handled the box.
Gregory swung down the road

Anticipation of the walk ahead of
him. The road was a shady one,
lipping up and down with the con-
iTOlUHotl of the land and affording
deiightfol glimpses of the richly
tinted autumn foliage.
He hud gone perhaps a quarter of
a mile when there was the sharp
tattle of hoofs on the hard road, and
the little trap passed him swiftly,
the blue bandbox swaying perilously.
lie watched her gain the rise be
yond and then she disappeared in
the depression of the road, only to
be silhouetted against the sky at the
t hill. Ah he walked down into
his first depression his eyes fell
upon the blue bandbox lying in the
dust where it had spilled from the
cart. He picked it up by the string
that fastened it and walked on,
ipiite confident that the girl would
mis the box and return for it. He
was not displeased at the opportuni
ty afforded him of meeting the
pretty girl.
When he next saw the cart it was
still bowling smoothly along the
road ahead of him, and the girl ap
peared not to have missed the blue
bandbox from the seat. To Gregory
this was perplexing because she had
appeared so solicitous concerning its
welfare-
The bandbox was light and prob
ably contained one of those lacy cre
ations that are beloved of just this
sort of pretty girl, decided Gregory
as he hastened along the road.
The trap still kept about twenty
rods in advance of his hurrying feet
and gained a little whenever he
panted up a hill and lost a trifle as
he sped down the next incline. Gnce
he shouted, but met with no re
sponse and, keenly conscious of the
absurd appearance he must present
as his stride hastened to a dog trot,
he was silent. .
Occasionally he paused to mop his
heated face, and once he stooped to
drink from a wayside spring, but
each delay only increased the dis
tance between the blue bandbox and
ils fair owner.
At last he stopped and, turning
around as he fanned himself with
his hut, he was conscious that some
body was following him as industri
ously as he was pursuing the girl
of the blue bam I bow Lumbering
I long the road behind him was u

"Well, mammy, what's up?" he
asked as pleasantly as he could con

"If you can prove it I will gladly

exasperated young ; man. "Only, I
would like to suggest, mammy, that
hereafter you avoid such cartwheel

"You mind yo' business, young

"Now, I can shot my eyes an' tell
all about that hat an' you can open
the box an' if it ain't so, I'll eat my
words."
"Go ahead," urged Gregory with a
glance over his shoulder at the de
serted road.
"Well," began mammy, closing
her eyes and smacking her lips as if
ubout to partake of a feast. "It's
not so big an' it's blue with a soft
blue ribbing bows an' teeny blue forget-me-nots

and disclosed just such a hat as

HIS FEE WAS EXCESSIVE
i
Skillful Dentist Was Net Appreciated
by the Young Farmer of the
Adirondack.
A New York dentist, having re
covered from a siege of illness, went
up to the Adirondacks for a season
of recuperation and rest. He got on
so rapidly that he decided to open
an office there for a few months and
combine business with pleasure. His
specialty was extraction of teeth, and
so much attention and study had he
given to this branch of his profes
sion that his fame soon spread, as
it had in New York.
One day a young farmer ramp into
the office with an ill-behaved tooth
that was causing him much mi.tery.
"Better have it out," was the den
tist's advice, so the yokel climbed
into the chair. The molar had a
curved root, and to extract it was
n difficult task. There would have
been real trouble had the man with
the forceps not Iwen past master of
his art. With a twist and a sort of
"unhooking" movement he had it
out in an instant.
"How much ?"gmnted the patient.
" Dollar." said the dental surgeon.
"A dollar! A dollar for a thing
Ide that!" howled the farmer.

AMERICAN PHOSPHATE LANDS.
The phosphate lands which a year
yt two ago were withdrawn from
entry for settlement by the federal
government constitute, it is said, the
greatest known phosphate deposits in
the world. These lands comprise
nearly the whole of Uinta county in
Wyoming and portions of Morgan,
I'ich and Cache counties in I tab
and of Bear Lake, Bannock, Bing
ham and Fremont counties in Idaho,
making in all about 7,500 square
miles of territory which is more or
less underlain by phosphate rock. Be

She must have read his thoughts,
for all at once she broke into a mel
low laugh.
"Fcr de lan' sake, young man, you
don't think I'm goin' to wear that
hat ?"
"You said it was yours," said
Gregory, still more mystified.
"It's fo' my gal, Evaliua," ex
plained the woman proudly. "It was

Mershon's daughter. I use to work
up to the big houso before Evalina

her head aud laughed heartily, and
as Gregory joined her he was con
scious of another laugh, light, rip
pling and amused.
He turned, to find the little trap
drawn up beside them, and the
pretty girl an amused spectator of
the scene. Gregory removed his hat
und then, separately, and finally in
union, he. and Mammy related the
adventure of the blue bandbox.
