Women Wanted the Maloon
▼ Women are general! regarded aa the
moral foese of the saloon, but the fair
residents of South River, N. J., are
exceptions to this rule, if rule It be.
A man named Willetts wished to open
a drinking resort, but met with op
position because of the number of sa
loons already doing business there.
He has succeeded in getting up quite
a lengthy petition on his behalf, all
the signers being women.
Snell's Stone Coffin Hobby,
Samuel Snell of Holyoke, Mass., has
a strange hobby. Though 73 years
old and wealthy, he devotes all his
spare time to the making of stone
coffins. During the past twenty-five
years he has made and disposed of
over 100 of these, claiming that they
keep the body in an excellent state of
preservation long after burial.
Queerly Marked Progeny.
Mr. and Mrs. Zaccheus Gaskill of

are not blessed in that direction hav

A Wonderful Cure.
Wright City, Mo., Dec. 30.—Medical
men are still wondering over the
Syrces case, which has aroused such a
widespread interest in this neighbor
hood.
Mr. Joseph G. Symes had suffered
very severely from Inflammatory Rheu
matism. enduring pains which were
|r something terrible and which made it
altogether impossible for him to work
by day or rest or sleep at night. In
spite of all treatments he grew worse
and his case seemed to defy all the
usual remedies.
He began a treatment of Dodd’s Kid
ney Pills and very soon noticed a
marked improvement, which increased
as he kept on till six boxes were used,
when he found himself without a trace
of pain or ache. He is now able to
work all day and sleep all night, and
his rapid and complete recovery is re
garded by the doctors as little short of
a miracle.

LARGER SCHOOL BUILDINGS RE
QUIRED.
Owing to the recent large influx of
population into Western Canada it has
become absolutely necessary in manj
parts of Manitoba, Assinlboia, Sas
katchewan and Alberta to increase the
school accommodation. In may places
buildings have been erected that are
only half-occupied. This is perhaps as
good evidence as will be found not
only of their satisfaction with theii
present school system and their con
fidence that it will remain as it is, but
also of their firm belief in the future
expansion of the country, in increased
Immigration, and it further indicates
that they have little fear that the well
established rate of births in civilized
communities will not be maintained
there.
The free homestead laws and the
cheap railway lands offer great induce
ments, which are opening up the new
settlements. Agents of the Govern

in different portions of the States for
the purpose of giving information to

are now appearing in a large number
of papers, giving the names and loca
tions of these agents.

REFORM IN MEN'S DRESS.
Club Formed at Berlin Will Eidearor
to KITert a Change.
Under the leadership of Prof. Her
man Widner. a number of noted men
of artistic taste have formed hX Berlin
the only male dress reform club in the
world, says the St. Louis Post-Dis
patch.
A great crusade has been inaugur
ated against the severe cut of the pres
ent day attire which forces one of the
sterner sex to put aside his own in
dividuality and follow a fashion re
flected upon every man h« meets.
While the members of the German
Male Dress Reform club do not favor
the ruffles and laces of Louis XIV. they
would compromise between that mode
of dress and the twentieth century
fashion.
Prof. Widner has Issued a call for
suggestions, and many hundreds of de
signs, some practical and others very
grotesque, have been submitted to
these organized revolters against the
laws of fashion. The idea first selected
is a design worked out at a mass meet
ing by the artists of the club. It is a
modified form of the uniform worn by
a German Hussar regiment.
The short coat or jacket fits snugly
at the waist and suggests the use of
stays, though these reformers are after
solid comfort. Rows of braid, silver or
gold, to match the cloth, as the fancy
dictates, outline the graceful curves of
the spinal column, the sleeves are a
trifle fuller than men usually wear and
the shoulaers have that long, graceful
slope so much desired by the society
"belle” and so strenuously avoided by
men until these artists changed the
fashion.
American ‘‘Beau Brummels” scoff at
the idea of wearing a coat the shoulder
seam of which commences about two
inches down the arm. for, besides being
in their eyes effeminate—that awful
word which stands for everything man
should avoid—and ugly, they must be
uncomfortable, or it seems to the poor,
unenlightened fashion s slaves and fol
lowers of long established custom on
this side of the water. The German
Male Dress Reform Club trousers fit
tight, loosening somewhat below the
knee, and they are trimmed with but
tons from the knee down.
The waistcoat is thickly padded,
showing to good advantage the chest
formation. With the thermometer at
zero, this is comfort. But is the com
bination of the broad and manly chests
with the slender, willowy form artis
tic? As the chief aim and object of
these reformers is to be beautiful as
well as comfortable, the question is a
reflection on the good judgment of the
club.
The garments are to be manufac
tured of gay-colored cloths, varied in
tones, this being intended to give the
portrait painters a relief from the dull
monotony of the present colors. The
club has written to artist fraternities
all over Europe soliciting further de
signs, and whole volumes of drawings
and suggestions have been received in
reply.
All the members are wearing the at
tire first selected until something else
is decided upon.
Heat of Volcanoes.
The Maoris of New Zealand cook
their potatoes and other vegetables in
volcanic heat. There are a few vol
canoes in New Zealand, and some of
the Maoris live up in the mountains
near them. They make the volcanoes
do several useful things for them, but
the queerest is the cooking. A few
of the volcanoes have a sort of periodic
action. They heat up the ground in
the fall and then lie idle the remaind
er of the year. Those volcanoes are of
a quiet disposition and never break
loose, but they heat the ground just
enough to do the native cooking. The
plan of the Maoris is to dig a pit about
five or six feet deep and bed it with
straw. Then they put in their vege
tables, filling up the pit quite full, and
then cover it over with more straw
and then a layer of earth. And then
then they go away and lie low. Then
the volcano begins to heat up and
gets in its fine work and the potatoes
and mangoes cook. The natives let
them stay there for a long time after
the heat departs from the earth, take
them out whenever they want them,
and eat them. So the earth is at once
a stove and a storehouse.—Detroit Free
Press.
Eastern Farm Lands.
In the eastern states prices of agri
cultural land have generally fallen in
recent years, in some cases about 50
per cent of the figures asked during
the time of high prices. One of the
chief causes for the decline in the
value of land in the east appears to
be a loss of fertility in the land itself,
due, perhaps, to careless farming. In
the central and western states there
appears to be no such marked decline
in farm values as In the east. In the
northwest land seems to have been in
creasing in value, and in some locali
ties to a very marked degree. Farm
laborers seem to have profited more in
the past few years than their em
ployers, or, since the fall in the prices
of farm products, even better off than
some of the farmers who employ them.
It is also said that there is a greater
opportunity for laborers to rise to in
dependent positions in agriculture
than ever before.—Detroit Free Press.

PROSTRATE WITH RHEUMATIC FE.
VER SIX TIMES WITHIN
TWENTY YEARS.
This was the case of Mr. Ell Wilt
shire of Landsdown Terrace, Caine,
Wis., who during this time suffered the
most Intense agony. He writes:
“I heartily indorse the testimonials
which you publish of St. Jacob’s Oil
as a pain killer, for I hare been a suf
ferer from rheumatism and kindred
complaints at different times during
the last twenty years. I have been
laid prostrate with rheumatic fever six
times during that perled, therefore I
consider I know something about rheu
matism. During ail of these twenty
years I have tried various advertised
rheumatic remedies, oils, ointments
and embrocations. None of them gave
me much relief, but when I tried St. Ja
cob’s Oil I found quite different results.
It eased the pain almost Immediately
and has done for me what all other rem
edies put together never began to do.
"I could give you several cases that
have been cured, which have come un
der my notice, and through my recom
mendation; also one of toothache, one
of faceache, and one of core throat.
"I have recommended St. Jacob's Oil
and shall continue to do so by every
moans in my power, as I consider you
deserving of every support.”

“Not In the Trait."
This is a favorite expression with
persons who have goods on hand that
they wish to sell to the public. But
their goods are not always good. Neith
er have they a right at all times
to claim that they are “not in the
trust.” As a matter of fact they gen
erally are in the trust. Trusts know
the advantage of advertising their
goods as “not in the trust.” It helps
them to sell an inferior article that
they may pay dividends on watered
stock. The Defiance Starch company
has no false stock on which to pay
dividends. They simply manufacture
the best starch that is made anywhere
in the world, and sell 16 ounces for
ten cents. Ask your grocer for it.
