The Plaint of the British Fiddler.
The annual complaint of English

that an English 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 af them are
madp up of aliens. The one chance an
Englishment has of steady employ
ment is to disguise himself and pre
tend to he a Gerrnnn or a Belgian. One
hand 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 closed. So
they are going to move to the now,de
serted mansion of the late Charier
Broadway Rouss. On one side lives
Henry Clews, on the other D. Ogden
Mills.
CHANCE
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 would 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 chilhood up I had been a
coffee and tea drinker and for the
past 20 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 Posturn, and it seemed so pleasant
just to read about good health I 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 1 don't feel like the same per^
son. We all found Postum delicious
and like it better than coffee. My
health now is wonderfully good.
“As soon as I made the shfft from
coffee to Postum 1 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.”

TALE OF BUTTERBY'S KID
Old man Butterby hated Bob,
And Bob, he equally hated him.
And as each was onto his shooting
job.
It seemed that some one’s show was
slim.
For from Butterby's ranch to Bob's
home place
Was a mile or so, and that was all;
So the boys all said, as they viewed
the case:
“I reckon the Coroner'll git a call.”
Well, Pob and Butterby met one day—
"Twas a thing, of course, they were
bound to do—
And each of them put a tree in his
way.
And then, you bet, the bullets flew.
Bob's arm stuck out, and he got a
ball
Right where its passage was bound
to hurt.
And old man Butterby had a call
From a bullet that injured the side
of his shirt.
But they stuck to their trees as if
they were glued,
And they hurled some names that
that are not in the books.
“Come out!” said Bob, and his tene
was rude,
"You dassent,” said Butterby; "dern
your looks!”
And the air was full of bullets and
flings.
And adjectives dire of a ted-hot
brand,
And they knew that Death on his
misty wings
Was waiting about to take a hand.
“Come out,” cried Bob, "you cow
ardly cur!”
For \ is shoulder burned and liifc
thoughts were hot—
A laugh rang out where the bushes
were,
And into the open there strayed a
tot.
A wee little tot with curly hair,
And eyes with dreams in their
blue depths hid
The fairest thing on the mountain
there.
And her laughter was sweet—it was
Butterby’s kid.
Her eyes met Bob's, and she laughed
again
As she toddled straight to the tree
where he stood.
“I’ve lost my dolly,” she said, "but,
zen,
I dess 'at oo’ll find it; I 'pose at
oo could.”
Bob kissed the babe, and he left the
tree,
"Shoot if you please,” he cried,
"dern you!
There’s a job right here that is callin'
me.”
Said Butterby then: ‘‘I'm damned
if I do!”
There is peace today on Butterby's
hill,
There is peace in the home and the
heart of Bob,
And the sounds of strife are hushed
and still.
And the Coroner yet is minus a job,
I don’t go murh on cussing and such.
But I hope the angel the record hid
Of Butterby’s oath, or, with gentle
touch,
Wrote only: “Forgiven because of
the kid.”
—Alfred J. Waterhouse in New York
Times.
DEVICE FOR WOOING
SLEEP
♦
Most of the mental devices for
wooing sleep have failed because they
I have nearly always tried to resort to
“local treatment;” in other words,
they have made a homeopathic at
1 tempt to stop thinking by thinking
; about something else—a process
which might also be called “elimina
tion by substituion.” But all think
1 ing, spontaneous or forced, draws
more or less blood to the brain, pre
vents deep inhalations and bars the
gate to the kingdom of dreams. Any
device, on the other hand, which will
make one take deep, long breaths
spontaneously (the invariable fore
runner of sleep) may be counted upon
as a genuine remedy for Insomnia.
Even deep breathing which Is forced
is better than any purely mental at
tempt to win sleep, says Good House
keeping. Rut If the deep breathing
can be produced involuntarily one is
sure of a passport to Nod land. After
several nights of experiments to this
end the present writer decided to ap
ply the principal adopted by the mas
Eeurs, who begin their manipulation
“at the point farthest from the scat
of difficulty,” which, in the case of
T
insomnia, would bo the feet. Lying
on the right side, with the knees to
gether, and cor.sideratily flexed, the
victim of insomnia should begin to
pedal both his feet slowly up and
down, with the movement entirely in
the ankles. The pedaling should keep
time with the natural rhythm of res
piration and be continued until it is
followed by deep and spontaneous
breathing. Several people who have
tried this remedy report that invol
untary deep breathing invariably be
gins before they have pedaled up and
down a dozen ttnies. In obstinate
cases of insomnia the patient may
need to keep up the pedaling two or
three minutes, or even more, with in
termissions, if necessary. The treat
ment may also be varied by moving
the feet alternately, instead of simul
taneously, though the latter method
has proved the moro speedily effica
cious in the cases known to the
writer. The explanation of the result
obtained is probably simple. The
blood is pumped from the head, and
with the removal of brain tension, a
general relaxation follows, with a se
quent deep respiration and its result
ing sleep.
LIGHT HEARTS AND HEAVY
There have always heen men like
Thoreau and St. Francis who be
lieved, says the London Spectator,
that property brought with it a heavy
1 heart, and who have refused, as did
the American philosopher, to be "har
| nessed to his possessions." St. Fran
j cis “cast aside every weight” that he
might free himself from "idle sor
row.” He and his first disciples
loved nothing earthly; they were se
! cure in all places, troubled by no
j fears, distracted by no cares; they
j lived without trouble of mind, wait
j mg without solicitude for the corn
1 ing day.”
St. Francis in the fastnesses of the
Italian hills singing French hymns
among the highway robbers in his
whimsical lightness of heart makes a
strange picture. Ho knew French
sadly, but it seemed to him the lan
guage of gayety. The founder of the
Franciscans, though we are told that
ae possessed what was quaintly
I called the gift of tears when perform
ing his devotions in his call, was nev
»r seen abroad without a smile, neith
er would he tolerate any appearance
of heaviness In his followers. He
rebuked a brother to whom a deject
ed manner had become habitual, say
ing: "My brother, repeat thy sins In
private and do not appear before the
community thus downcast.”
We are inclined to think that those
who make their living—provided it is
a fairly good one—in the sweat of their
brow have lighter hearts than those
who make it in the sweat of their
brain. The high spirits which seem
to be enjoyed by domestic servants—
to judge by the sounds which come
upstairs—are a case in point. Dust
ing, scrubbing and plate cleaning
seem to weigh on the heart far less
than doctoring, journalism or the
study of law or theology. Too often
spirits are broken by overwork or by
disappointment in tho wild struggle
to succeed which goes on among pro
fessional people. Certainly in the lit
erary world light hearts are general
ly lost early, yet the light-hearted
man of letters, though he is rare, is
the most attractive of all light-heart
ed men.
TO SEARCH FOR TREASURE
If the sea were drained, says the
Family Herald, what treasures we
;ould find upon the old ocean floor—
galleons loaden with gold beyond the
ireams of avarice! Lesser waters
,han the sea. however, hold treasure
which can be found. Almost simul
taneously come reports of two scien
tific quests for wealth hidden under
die face of the waters. The Tiber of
lid Rome is to be searched, and a
ake in the Republic of Colombia is to
be drained for the gold and jewels,
votive offerings, that were thrown into
:t by the natives long ago.
For a century there have been
plans to turn the Tiber aside tem
porarily to search its dirty bottom.
Now the authorities have given Prof.
Nispilandl permission to make a sys
tematic hunt. The ancients used to
throw treasures to Father Tiber as
ifterings to the gods, and the current
of the river has swept away tho arms
ind armor of thousands of warriors
who fought on the banks. Much of
this wealth has no doubt been de
stroycd by ages of rust and rot, but
there must be a great deal not yet
found by occasional seekers.
The quest for gold and jewels at
the bottom of the Lake of Guatavita
in Colombia is at one > more romantic
ar.d surer to be profitable. The lake
lies ten thousand feet above the sea.
and was held sacred by the tribes of
natives that lived near it when the
Spaniards came. Every year the sav
ages, headed by their king, visited
the lake. The king, covered with gold
dust, plunged Into the waters, and his
subjects threw after him gold and
stiver and emeralds. When Quesada
and his Spaniards made their way up
the Andes to the lake, the natives
threw their treasures to the god of
the lake for safe-keeping. Enough
riches have been found in the lake to
warrant several attempts to cut a
depression in the side of it. All such
attempts hav« lowered the water only
a few feet. Now an English company
is to drain the lake by means of a
tunnel, and rake 'he bottom.
A
Ilealth and beauty are the glories of perfect womanhood. Women’
who suffer constantly with weakness peculiar to their sex cannot re
tain their beadty. Preservation of pretty features and rounded form is
a duty women owe to themselves.
When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful
menstruat ion, weakness, leucorrhcea, displacement or ulceration of tho
womb, that bearing down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, back
ache, bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous
prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness,
lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melan
choly, “all gone” and “ waut-to-be-left-alone” feelings, blues, and hope
lessness, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy.
Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegeta I »lo Compound removes such troubles.
Case of this Prominent Chicago Woman Should Give Everyone
Confidence in Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — It affords me great pleasure, indeed, to add my
testimonial to the great number who arc today praising Lydia E. Pink
liuiu’s Vegetable Compound. Three years ago I broke down from ex
cessive physical and mental strain. I was unable to
secure proper rest, nho lost ray 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 me, but as 1 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 m,V club friends called. She told mo how she 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 ain glad that 1 followed her
advice. Within six weeks 1 was a different
woman, strong and robust in health, and have
. been so ever since.
“ A number of my friends who have been
troubled with ailments peculiar to our sex
have taken your compound, and have also been
greatly benedted.” — Miss Emzauktii Dax.et,
270 Loomis St., Chicago, 111. Provident of the St. Rutui* Court, Order of For
resters, Catholic. j
What is left for tho women of America, after reading such letters
as we publish, but to believe. Don’t some of you who are sick and miser
able feel how wicked you aro 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 tho experience
of hundreds of thousands of women, whom the 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,” l*it by Lydia E.
Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, the great Woman’s Remedy for
Woman’s Ills.
Those women who refuse to accept anything elso are rewarded o
hundred thousand times, for they get. what they want — a cure. Moral
— stick to the medicine that you know is the Iiest. Write to Mrs.
Pinkham for advice.

to say among other things: "We are

good manners out of society you have
dismissed that beneficent and kindly
