The Plaint of the British Fiddler.
The annual complaint of English
musicians comes from London. 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

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.”

1 TROUT ON A SPREE " j
John Pronklin. a saloonkeeper at
Oyster Bay, New York, has a big
tank cooled by water fvoni a \vettfl65
feet deep, fn it he keeps his beer
in kegs and also a colony of twenty
sevbn big brook trout that used to
swim in Mill Neck creek before they
were brought to the saloon.
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.

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.

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.

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’

Case of this Prominent Chicago Woman Should Give Everyone
Confidence in Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
“ Peak Mbs. 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,

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
