It is that an Eng’ish musician has no chance to get work in competition with foreigners. There are 300 orches tral bands in London druing the sea son. and practically all of them are made up of aliens. The one chance an Englishment 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 style and speaks only in foreign monosyl lables, but every one is an English man, forced to the subterfuge by the necessity of making a living. Why Russell Sage Moves. Russell Sage is going to move from the modest little house in Fifth avenue, New York, where he has lived for forty-two years. He can no longer “stand for” his neighbors. First some one put a candy store next door to him. Then another store was estab lished on the other side. At the rear of the candy store is an immense fan designed to cool the ice cream parlor. This fan is right next to three of the windows of his dining room. The noise it makes is deafening. On the Forty-second street side there is a smoking parlor, and as Mrs. Sage de tests the smell of tobacco she is com pelled to keep her windows closnd. So they are going to move to the now de serted mansion -of the late Charles Broadway Rouss. On one side lives Henry Clews, on the other D. Ogden Mills. . , CHANGE Quit Coffee and Get Well. A woman’s coffee experience is in teresting. “For two weeks at a time I have taken no food but skim milk, for solid food w'ould ferment and cause such a pressure of gas and such distress that I could hardly breathe at times, also excruciating pain and heart palpitation and all the time I was so nervous and restless. “From chiihood up I had been a coffee and tea drinker and for the past 2u years I have been trying dif ferent physicians but could get only temporary relief. Then I read an ar ticle telling how some one had been cured by leaving off coffee and drink ing Postum, and it seemed so pleasant just to read about good health 1 de cided to try Postum in place of coffee. “I made the change from coffee to Postum and such a change there Is in me that I don’t feel like the same per son. We all found Postum delicious l nd like it better than coffee. My health now is wonderfully good. “As soon as 1 made the shift from coffee to Postum I got better and now all of my troubles are gone. I am fleshy, my food assimilates, the pres sure in the chest and palpitation are all gone, my bowels are regular, have no more stomach trouble and my headaches are gone. Remember I did not use medicines at all—just left off coffee and drank Postum steadily.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Recently the bartender at Pronk iin's saloon dumped four new quarter kegs into the pool. That was at 7 o'clock. An hour later, just as Fronk lin started to work the beer pump, something slapped up against the in side of the • door leading into the room containing the tank. It slapped again harder than before, and then there were more slaps. John Pronk lin stopped pumping and opened the door. As he did so the biggest trout in the tank turned a handspring on its fins and went flopping toward the bar, three others followed, and sev eral more were tumbling around on the floor beside the tank. Some of those in the pool were jumping clear over the beer kegs. Some were land ing on top of them and sliding down the sides, and all were beating the water, splashing, and rolling over, and chasing each other like road. .. ... Two males were fighting. They had their jaws locked together and the water was streaked with blood. ! One had its back fin partly torn off, and some were swimming on their backs, some were going tail foremost, and some kept their heads out of the i tank for a long time, while they wig gled their fins and “treaded" water. All bumped into the beer kegs, and appeared to be confused generally ; whenever they started to go any- : where. Now, John Pronkln knows these trout well, and they had never done such stunts before, so, when a fine two-pounder rolled over and slapped its tail hard against the side of one of tho kegs, John Pronkin discovered something. Ho discovered that ono of the “quarters” which had been put into the water full of beor at 7 o’clock didn't contain beep at 8. A hoop was broken and the bung was j out. The next day John Pronklin’s trout 1 lay under the spout with the cold spring water and air bubles trickling soothingly down their backs. Their food for the day lay untouched at the bottom of the tank. One only Is deud. It was found under a keg. n : WHAT THE EYES DISCLOSE The color of eyes has hitherto chiefly concerned the novelist and the ■^oet and lately, says the London Ex press, the cold-blooded statistician has been looking into them. It is announced that, taking the av erage of Europe and America, 44.G per cent of men have light eyes, in cluding blue (ind gray. The propor tion of women having blue or gray eyes is 32.2 per cent. In other words, blue eyes are decidedly rarer among women than among men. Men have light eyes oftener than women, but in the intermediate shades between light and dark the percentage of the two sexes is very nearly the same. In this intermedi ate category are brown and hazel eyes. The percentage of these among men is 43.1 and among women 45.1. Blue eyes are considered to possess great attractions. This was the case among the Greeks and Homans of classic times. Upon the goddess Minerva was bestowed a surname to ?•••••• * * •••••••••••••••••-< signify the blueness of her eyes. Gray eyes have ever been the ideal of all great novelists. Among the number Charlotte Bronte, George El iot, Kilkie Collins and Charles Reade. Most of the heroine in up-to-date Ac tion are gray-eyed maidens. Of the living great, as well as the famous dead, most have eyes of gray or blue. Shakespeare had eyes of gray; so had nearly all the English poets. Coleridge's eyes wero large, light gray, prominent and of liquid brilliancy. Byron’s eyes were gray, fringed with long black lashes. Charles Lamb’s glittering eyes were strangely dissimilar in color, one being hazel, the other having specks of gray in the iris. Chatter ton's brilliant gray eyes were his most remarkable feature. Under strong excitement one appeared brighter and larger than the other. As to green eyes, they are for glory. The Empress Catharine of Russia had eyes of this hue. THE BENEFIT OF FASTING j _ t The fast cure is one of the new ideas from which great benefits may be 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 more should follow. It is an undisputed fact among men of science that a great many of the ail ments that humanity suffers from proceed directly from the stomach, while as many more proceed indirect ly therefrom. Apoplexy, heart failuro and in many cases sudden deaths, can be traced directly to the stomach, overtaxed and weak, yet pushed on to the task for which it is unequal. The result is inevitable. A restricted diet is always an aid toward recovery. Fasting in connec tion with cups of hot water drunk during the day as a tonic, will pro duce remarkably quick cures in some stomach troubles. Doctors prescribe milk diets and other diets not so much for the virtue of the diet itself »■*.» as to avoid the harmful effects of the foods it excludes. To keep a person on a milk diet for a week or two means that the 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 the internal machinery, and one of the most com mon-sense cures is to give the ma chinery a rest and let the body right itself; but dyspeptics are continually dosing themselves with drugs or try ing to find something' they can eat with safety. Everything disagrees with the overburdened digestion, but they never stop to give the wheels a rest. Like the foolish muleteer who put the load all on one side and then tried to make things balance by put ting a heavy stone on the other, they overload their weakened stomach with food and then attempt to counter bal ance by ladling in a lot of powerful drugs. < I GOOD IN OLD-AGE PENSIONS i 1 1 ’ Simply speaking, tlie payment of an old-age pension, say of $100 each to every citizen, male or female, who has passed the age of 70, does not involve a heavy burden to the state. Let us now consider for a moment the advantages which the state, as an organization, would receive from such a system. As matters stand, the man agers of asylums, whether for the poor, or perhaps for the blind, or the insane, or other invalids, are always at their wits’ ends to know what they shall do with the aged people who are crowded upon them. The 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- 1 ceive them and take charge of them humanely if they could receive a little ready money for the extra expense. As society organizes itself, a very little money goes a long way in the average household of an American. The moment it appears that a grand- j father or a grandmother has $100 a year to his good, that moment we shall find that the burden thrown I upon the state and town in their asy lums is reduced by a larger propor- ! tion than by the charge made by the pensions upon the treasury. Thus ■ the pension system has the great ad vantage that it maintains life in homes, and that it abates the neces sity for great institutions or asylums. —Edward Everett Hale in June Cos- i mopolitan. It I FOOLED BY SLICK TRAMP \ Harry Sanderson, manager for Tony Pastor, who resides at Cranford, N. J., not feeling particularly well, took a day oft recently and remained at home. From the window of his li brary he observed a tramp entering his gate and he walked down to the rear door to meet him. It was the old story—a request for a meal. Hav ing a load of unsawed wood in the shed he told the fellow that If he got to work and performed on the sawbuek for a brief period he would have something prepared for him. The tramp went to the shed and im mediately the sound of vigorous saw ing was heard, stick after stick part ing under his energetic efforts. Call ins the tramp into the kitchen, San- ■ derson complimented him upon his energy, and the tramp replied, with a modest air, that whenever he had anything to do he generally paid at tention to it. The meal was eaten and the tramp expressed his thanks and departed. Shortly after Sanderson went out to the shed and was surprised to find every stick of wood intact. Upon inquiry in the village he ascertained that he had been entertaining a stranded ventriloquist, who was work ing his way back to New York from Easton, Penn. The mean chap had simply gone into the shed and given his imitation of sawing wood.—New York Times. ’ Health and beauty are the glories of perfect 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 owe to themselves. !

Pinkham : — It affords ine great pleasure, indeed, to add my testimonial to tho great number who are today praising Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound. Three years ago I broke down from ex cessive physical and mental strain. I was unable to secure proper rest, also lost my appetite, and I became so nervous and irritable too that my friends trembled,and I 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 spare the time nor money, and was very much worried when, fortunately, one of my club friends called. She told me how Bhe had been cured of ovarian troubles, and how like my symp toms were to hers, seven bottles of your medicine cured her, and she insisted that I take some. “ 1 did so, and am glad that I followed her advice. Within six weeks I was a different woman, strong and robust in health, and have been so ever since. “ A number of my friends who hare been troubled with ailments peculiar to our sex have taken your compound, and have also been greatly benefited.” — Miss Elizabktu Daley, 270 Loomis St., Chicago, 111.

Don’t some of you who are sick and miser able feel how wicked you are to remain so, making life a burden for yourself and your friends, when a cure is easily and inexpensively obtained ? Don’t you think it would pay to drop some of your old. prejudices and “Try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which is better than all the doctors for cures?” Surely the experience of hundreds of thousands of women, whom tho Compound has cured, should convince all women. Follow the record of this medicine, and remember that these cures of thousands of women whoso letters are constantly printed in this paper were not brought about by “something else,” but by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, tho great Woman’s Remedy for Woman’s Ills. Those women who refuse to accept anything else are rewarded a hundred thousand t imes, for they get what they want — a cure.
