Colds on
the Chest
Ask your doctor the medical (
name for a cold on the chest. ,
He will say, “Bronchitis.”
Ask him if it is ever serious.
Lastly, ask him if he pre- <
scribes Ayer’s Cherry Pec

When you tell your doctor about the bad
taste in your mouth, loss of appetite for
breakfast, and frequent headaches, and
when he sees your coated tongue, he will
say, “ You are bilious.” Ayer’s Pill*
work well in such cases.

THE MYSTERY OF SLEEP.
No Man Knows When the Moment ot
Unconsciousness Comes.
There is a remarkable fact connected
with sleep which must not be over
looked. The sleep of a human being
if we ure not too busy to attend to the
matter, always evokes a certain feeling
of awe. Go into a room where a per
son is sleeping, and it is difficult tc
resist the sense that one is in the pres
ence of the central mystery of exist
ence. People who remember how con
stantly they see old Jones asleep la
the club library will smile at this, but
look quietly and alone even at old
Jones and the sense of mystery will
soon develop.
It is no good to say that sleep is only
"moving” because it looks like death
The person who Is breathing so loudly
as to take away all thought of death
causes the sense of awe quite as easily
as the silent sleeper wTho hardly seem*
to breathe. =
We see death seldom, but were il
more familiar we doubt if a corpse
would inspire so much awe as the un
conscious and sleeping figure—a smil
ing, irresponsible doll, flesh and blood,
but a doll to whom in a second may
be called a proud, active, controlling
consciousness which will ride his bodl
ly and his mental horse with a hand
of iron, which will force that body tc
endure toll and misery and will make
that mind, now wandering in paths ot
fantastic folly, grapple with some great
problem or throw all its force into the
ruling, the saving or the destruction
of mankind. The corpse is only sc
much bone, muscle and tissue; the
sleeping body Is the house which e
quick and eager master has only left
for an hour or so.
Let any one who thinks sleep is not
a mystery try to observe in bimselt
the process by which sleep comes and
to notice how and when and undei
what conditions he loses consciousness.
He will, of course, utterly fail to put
his finger on the moment of sleep com
ing, but in striving to get as close as
he can to the phenomena of sleep he
will realize how great is the mystery
which he is trying to fathom.
A JAPANESE DINNER.
Plenty of Variety, but Too Much Salt
For American Palates.
“I am afraid you won't like it,” said
the young Japanese baron. “You in
sisted, though, on a real Japanese din
ner. So what was I to do?”
They seated themselves, the three
girls and he, upon the green silk cush
ions placed on a parquetry floor about
a little table a foot high. A Japanese
servant entered with the ten, and the
Japanese dinner began.
For first course there were sweet bis
cuit and tea—delicate tea of the April
harvest, “first chop” tea, formerly
served with cherry spoons and a poem
for each guest.
Next came ushio, a salty soup, with
which the national wine, called sake,
was served in flat saucers.
The third course was a little raw fish,
very salty and steeped in a sour and
appetizing sauce. The guests, con
trary to their expectation, found the
raw fish no more difficult to eat than
raw oysters. With this course went a
salad of white chrysanthemums.
The elaborate fourth course consist
ed of boiled chestnuts and a paste of
sharks’ fins, quail roasted and hashed
with preserved cherries and crawfish
with eggs. These viands were all ar
ranged decoratively on one large dish.
The fifth course, also on one dish,
was boiled bamboo shoots with soy,
salted mushrooms and a cold boiled
salmon and cold boiled perch, with
pickled shoots of the ginger plant.
Next came a soup of seaweed, bit
ter, salty, decidedly good; next an as
sortment of nuts boiled in soy; next
salt relishes; next delicious boiled
rice, the grains ns large as cherries,
and, to conclude, tea again.
The young girls as they rose from
their low cushions and limped about
in the effort to get the stiffness out of
their legs said that the Japanese din
ner hud been very good, really much
better than they had counted on, but
perhaps a little too salty for occidental
taste.—Exchange.
A Shower Wedding.
“And you say when the heiress be
came the wife of the foreign noble
man It was a shower wedding?”
“I should say so. The bride w;ore a
shower bouquet.”
“Yes.”
“And then there was a shower of
rice."
“My!”
“Followed by a shower of congratu
lations and old shoes.”
“Well, well! And how did It end
up?”
“Very embarrassing all round. The
nobleman’s creditors came around and
presented a shower of bills."—Kansas
City Independent.
As Good as the Zoo.
“Will you come with me to the zoo
this afternoon?”
“No, thank you; 1 would rather stay
at home. My eldest daughter jumps
like a wild goat, my youngest shrieks
like a parrot, my son is as surly as a
bear, my wife snaps like a dog, and
my mother-in-law, who is a veritable
tigress, says I am exactly like an
orang outang. So, you see, I have no
meed to go to the zoo to see strange
creatures.”
A Difference.
Young Aspirant—Sir, may I count on
your supporting me? Practical Citizen
—That depends, young man. Are you
going to run for office or do you want
to marry my daughter?—Philadelphia
Ledger.
