Good Liooks
There are more wrinkles in the face
of a baby monkey than there are in
that of an old baboon And speaking
of wrinkles more of them can be
wrought out in a fair young face by
neuralgia than will be found in that of
an aged person Constant pain will
shrivel and neuralgia neglected will
plow its furrows deep It not only
wrinkles but takes the bloom away
and gives the skin a dull and yellow
look St Jacobs Oil is a prompt and
sure cure for neuralgia and it should
be used as while it soothes and cures
it smooths out the tracks of pain and
leaves the skin healthy and fair again
besides it rids the sufferer of much
torment and restores a happier dispo
sition Good looks come only with good
health and health is found in the ab
sence of pain
Jack and Jill
Many children are taught the nursery
thyme of Jack and Jill and the jour
ney up a hill in company without the
faintest idea being conveyed to the
mind of the learner that the story in
the lines is an allegory A jack in old
English was a pottery or earthenware
pitcher a jill or gill was a metal meas
ure and it is believed that the rhymes
contain a humorous personification of
the two vessels possibly by some per
son who had sustained the misfortune
of striking one against the other and
thus breaking the crown of the un
lucky jack

Do Snakes Really Bite
A careful student of snakes and their
ways declares that they never bite
despite the common belief that they kill
in that fashion In fact says this man
snakes cant bite because their jaws
are connected only by a cartilage and
not hinged and cannot be brought to
gether with any force The snake sim
ply hooks the fangs in its upper jaw
into the object aimed at the lower jaw
not figuring at all The act is very
similar to that of a man striking a
cotton hook into a bale of cotton or a
boat hook into a pier

A SCIENTIST SAVED
IVcoldent Barnaby of HartsvHle Col
lege Survives a Serious Illness
Throuch the Aid of Dr Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People
Frcvn the Republican Columbus Ind
The HartRTille College situated at
Hurtsville Ind was founded years ago
in the interest of the United Brethren
Church when the State was mostly a
wilderness and colleges were scarce The
college is well known throughout the
country former students having gone
into all parts of the world
A reporter recently called at this fa
mous seat of learning and was shown
into the room pf the president Prof Al
vin P Barnaby When laat seen by the
reporter Prof Barnaby was in delicate
health To day he was apparently in the
best of health In response to an in
quiry the Professor said
Oh yes I am much better than
for some time I am now in perfect
health but ray recovery was brought
about in rather a peculiar way
Tell me about it said the reporter
Well to begin at the beginning said
the Professor I studied too hard when
at school endeavoring to educate myself
for the professions After completing
the common course I came here and
graduated from the theological course I
entered the ministry and accepted the
charge of a United Brethren Church at a
small place in Kent County Michigan
Being of an ambitious nature I applied
myself diligently to my work and studies
In time I noticed that my health was fail
ing My trouble was indigestion and
PROF JLLVIN P BAKNABT
this with other troubles brought on ner
vousness
My physician prescribed for me for
some time and advised me to take a
change of climate I dfu as he requested
and was some improved Soon after 1
came here as professor in physics and
chemistry and later was financial agent
of this college The change agreed with
me and for awhile my health was better
but my duties were heavy and again I
fonnd my trouble returning This time
it was more severe and in the winter I
became completely prostrated I tried
various medicines and different physi
cians Finally I was able to return to
my duties Last spring I was elected
president of the college Again I had
considerable work and the trouble which
had not been entirely cured began to
affect me and last fall I collapsed I had
different doctors but none did me nny
good Prof Bowman who is professor
of natural science told me of his expe
rience with Dr Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and urged me to give them a
trial because they had benefited him in
a similar case and I concluded to try
them
The first box helped me and the sec
ond gave great relief such as I had
never experienced from tho treatment of
any physician After using air boxes of
the medicine I was entirely cured To
day I am perfectly well I feel better and
stronger than for years I certainly rec
ommend this medicine
To allay all doubt Prof Barnaby cheer
fully made an affidavit before

Transparent Sea
In the neighborhood of the Bermudas
the sea is extremely transparent so
that the fishermen can readily see the
horns of lobsters protruding from their
hiding places in the rocks at considera
ble depth To entice the crustaceans
from these crannies they tie a lot of
snails in a ball and dangle them in
front of the cautious lobster When he
grabs the ball they haul him up

treatment her uterine system is at fault
My advice to you is sit down and write a
letter to that friend of women Mrs Pinkham
of Lynn Mass state fully and freely the
whole case to her and she will honestly ad
vise you what to do Give your wife that
chance good man
If you do not wish to write about your
wife bring her a bottle of Lydia E Pink-
hams Vegetable Compound watch its ef
fects you will soon see the beginning oi
improvement then get her another and
keep it up until she is restored to you the same
lovely woman you married years ago

Compound and found it to be of great benefit to me The doctors said I had
womb trouble I had the headache all the time also a terrible backache
was nervous cross and irritable I looked so pale that people would ask me
what was the matter I suffered in this way for about four years until one
day about in despair my husband brought me a bottle of Lydia E Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound I commenced its use and much to every ones sur
prise it cured me It has completely changed my disposition for the better also
Several of my neighbors knowing what the Pinkham medicine has done for

Vegetable Fork for the Kitchen
A new vegetable fork has a conven
ient arrangement of handle by which
the burning and scalding of hands Is
prevented when taking potatoes beets
turnips parsley or any other large
vegetable out of boiling hot water Just
back of the fork proper is a perpendic
ularly arranged backing which pre
vents anything from sliding up the
handle
This fork is especially useful in tak
ing doughnuts out of the pan- of hot
lard and in preserving and pickling
work it has no equal and makes a
pleasant task out of an otherwise risky
one It is equally convenient in han
dling butter meat or any large piece
of food requiring to be handled and

Cleaninc Wall Paper
An exchange suggests the following
mode of cleaning or freshening the wall
paper Make several bags of canton
flannel fleece side out of the proper
size to cover the brush of your broom
Sweep down the walls with these
changing as they are soiled After re
moving all of the soil possible in this
way take a fresh bag dust it with
flour and wipe the walls with it shak
ing out and renewing the flour when
necessary If you have nice paper on
your rooms you will find it will pay
you to secure the services of a profes
sional cleaner who will put it through
a process which renews and freshens it
better far than anything you can do for
it yourself
Potato Fritters

to half a cupful of hot milk two ta
blespoonfuls of butter two eggs one

Hints
Cinders make a very hot fire and one
especially good for ironing days
A lump of sugar saturated with vin
egar will often stop the hiccoughs
when drinking water is not effectual
One of the most useful articles to the
took is a thermometer intended to be
fastened upon the oven door With
this the heat of the oven can be deter
mined without opening the door and
baking can be done much more success
fully
No good housewife is without her
own special and favorite disinfectant
A simple nd effective one may be
made of charcoal mixed with clear wa
ter Speaking of charcoal it is well
to remark that a little of it sprinkled
in water containing cut flowers will
keep the water fresh for some time
Irons may be made to last for years
nnd they may be treated on such a fash
ion as to wear out in a few moniths
The first great secret in their preser
vation is to keep them from rusting
To this end when not in use they
should be stowed away in a clean dry
place If in spite of this care or
more likely because of some neglect
they should still become rusty rub
them thoroughly with lard and bees
wax and then with sandpaper j
How to Root Slips
Take a shallow dish and fill with
sharp sand wet this very wet but not
so that it will be muddy or so that the
water will stand on the surface Insert
the slips in this sand and never let it
get dried out this is the secret of suc
cesskeep the sand wet all the time
and remember that it dries out rapidly
If you want to root a geranium slip
choose one that is strong large healthy
and not woody
Almost anything will root in this wet
sand If you want to root a good many
slips a box or something that could be
covered with glass would be best Fill
this partially with sand and have no
drainage insert the slips and cover
with glass put the box in a sunny win
dow and raise the back end so that the
box will be thrown with its entire sur
face to the sunshine Slips will root
rapidly and when well rooted they
may be transplanted
If you begin early you will have
plants for summer blooming and those
that have bloomed during the winter
may take a rest and have their buds
pinched off to fit them for service an
other winter It is a fact that a plant
will produce more flowers as it grows
older if it is cared for Of course plants
may get too old but I think this is the
exception rather than the rule
Now a word about potting rooted
slips these must be handled with care
and here Is where the novice makes a
mistake Do not put a tiny rooted slip
or a good sized rooted slip into a big pot
use a very small one it will not put the
plant back to transplant it from time to
time it will do it good it will make it
strong and stocky instead of letting it
grow up spindling and weak
Use drainage always in the bottom of
the pot and for the first potting use
rather poor soil and put sand about
the roots at first When the plant is
well established and growing well
then transplant it to a pot one size
larger and use as good soil as it may
require if you use the regular flower
pots the potting is an easy matter as
the plant may be taken out with all the
dirt about its roots and reset without
much trouble The Household

Remarkable Ears
Jean Baptiste Verre a laborer is
mentioned in the French Academy pro
ceedings of 1822 as having ears so long
that they projected above the top of his
head They possessed the power of
motion and being the cause of great
mortification to him he had them cut
down to something near the ordinary
size of human ears and concealed the
stumps beneath his long hair
TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL
The Lowest Rates Ever Made to an
Exposition In this Country
The exposition in commemoration of the
hundreth anniversary of the admis
sion of Tennessee into the union is
not a local affair by any means It
far surpasses in extent of buildings beauty
f grounds interesting exhibits and num
ber of both foreign and home attractions
any exhibition ever held in this country
with the possible exception of the Colum
bian of 1893 Located as it is on the main
line of the Louisville and Nashville Eail
road it is in the direct line of travel be
tween the North and South and can be
visited en route with loss of but little time
The extremely low rates that have beeif
established make it cheaper to go a little

Ancient Tickets to the Theater
During the last few years a large
number of small metal plates have
been found at diggings in Athens and
at the Piraeus and they were common
ly considered to be small symbols The
Greek archaeologist Svoronos bus now
demonstrated beyond doubt that these
metal plates were used as tickets of
admission to the theater of Dyonisos
about the time of Lycurgus The im
ages on these theater tickets certainly
the oldest of their kind in existence
show either the head of Pallas Athene
turned to the left or the head of a lion
and letters of the alphabet in single
double or triple arrangement It ap
pears therefore that the laws intro
duced by Lycurgus which had such a
great influence upon Athenians in all
walks of life extended also to the ad
mission to theaters which was also
probably regulated by him Philadel
