An Absent-iMinded Man. Edward L. Henry, the academician, is considerably over 60 years of age, but his youthful, smooth face, aside from his gray hair, has deceived many persons. He is an inveterate joker and also exceedingly absent-minded. This is an actual experience he had at the Centruy Club not long ago; It was a reception and Mr. Henry was very busy talking to a fellow artist, when something irritated his ankle. He stopped down and lifted the edge of the bottom of one of the other man’s trouser legs, calmly scratched the other man's ankle just alwive the pat ent tie, and, replacing the garment, went on talking, wholly oblivious of his action and apparently perfectly satisfied. Ring from Mrs. Sage's Coffin. An interesting story appeared re cently anent. Russell Sage and his old-time rival—who has just died— for the hand of Mr. Sage's first wife., one of the “Emma Willard girls,” aJ graduate of Mount Holyoke seminary.: In commenting upon the story to a friend, the present Mrs. Sage, who! was a school chum of the first wife; said that not long ago the old grave yard where her predecessor had been buried was torn up, and Mr. Sage went there to superintend the removal of the body. He stepped over the fence, and as he did so a coffin was borne past him. A wedding ring roll ed out at his feet. It was that of his former wife. The present Mrs. Sage, who has much sentiment in her make up, thought it a beautiful omen. A BACK NUMBER The Milk and Egg Diet. Starving the patient who has a sick stomach, is an out-of-date treatment and no longer necessary with the pre digested and nourishing food Grape Nuts, that the weakest stomach can handle and grow strong upon. There is plenty of proof of this: *T had suffered from stomach trouble for six years and for most of the last two years had been confined tp my bed, the trouble having become chronic in spite of the very, best medi cal attention. I had always been a coffee drinker, but for the past year I could not drink it at all because it made me so nervous I could not sleep and my appetite was almost entirely gone. "Then some friends advised me to try the predigested food Grape-Nuts and about three months ago I did so and since that time my Improvement has been so rapid that my customers and friends are astonished and every day someone remarks upon my changed condition. I have gained 15 pounds, sleep well, my appetite is good and my digestion Is perfect. Where I have lived on milk and light diet for years I now eat most any thing I want and don't suffer any In convenience either. The way Grape Nuts food has built up my stomach and strengthened my nervous system particularly is Just wonderful. “I drink your food drink, Postum, too, and no longer feel the want of coffee. There is absolutely no doubt that leaving off coffee and using Grape-Nuts and Postum has brought me out of my bed from an Invalid back to fine health.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. “There’s a reason,” and that reason II plain to anyone who will spend a few minutes investigating in the in terest of health.

Here a.T? a number of odd systems of curing disease which are now prac ticed is Now York city: The frrape cure consists in revert ing to a diet exclusively of grapes for several days at a time. It is much practiced in Europe. Patients go to the vineyards of the south and spend ten days there, eating the grapes all day long. The fruit cure largely used in this country is merely a modification of the grape cure. Allied to the grape and fruit cures are the two-meals-a-day, onc-mcal-a day and the fasting cures. A somewhat similar cure is the milk treatment, advocated and prac ticed quite extensively in New York city. Its disciples prescribe an ex clusive diet of milk—as much in cer tain cases as two or three gallons a day. The bathtub cure, largely practiced in Germany, but also in occasional use here, is a modification of one of Kneipp’s systems. The patient’s body is immersed in water at blood heat, and he remains there for days at a time, even sleeping in the water. The cure is of special efficacy in the treat ment of burns, scalds and other ex ternal wounds. Of baths there is an almost infinite variety used therapeutically. The Turkish. Persian and Russian baths are familiar. The needle bath is an other. The recently developed light treat ment is assuming important propor tions. It has many forms anil is espe daily used In cases where disease Is known to have a bacterial origin. An important class of cures includes hypnotism, suggestive therapeutics and magnetic healing. Related to these methods also is Christian Sci ence. The National Health league is a million-dollar corporation formed for i the promulgation of the nature cure. This includes many methods of treat ment. but its central idea is the study i of healthy conditions and the attain ment of them hy normal methods. Complete rest is the cure-all devised by a prominent Philadelphia physi cian. He advocates an occasional week spent In bed under conditions favorable to the least possible exhaus tion of vitality. The olive oil cure is widely prac ticed. Ttire oil is used externally with rubbing and internally as nourish ment. Deep breathing is claimed by many to lie a specific in all manner of dis ease. The theory is that perfect aera tion of the lungs moans healthy blood and consequent health of all the tissues. Physical culture is a very import ant branch of therapeutics. Its advocates claim that with regular exercise in telligently directed, and, as an essen tial accessory, right eating and drink ing. the body may be kept in normal , condition. The treatment of certain diseases by baking the body in a special oven has recently been practiced with success. The lean-meat cure is another sys tern of dietetics.—New York World. ******WA^VWVVWVVWWWWWVN^ Ruins to Be Preserved. The United States has lately taken steps to preserve the extensive ruins discovered on the Navajo Indian res* trvation in the northeastern part of Arizona. In these canyons are cliff dwellers’ ruins, varying in size from a single room perched on some ledge to an extensive communal building, number ing as many as seventy-five rooms and several stories in height. On the can yon bottoms are most interesting pueblo ruins. There are more than 200 of both classes and at one time they must have housed a population of 15.000 souls. Students of America's prehistoric civilization hold that the (lift and pueblo dwellers belonged to the same race and possessed the same characteristics, dwelling in harmony. It is of interest to note that the Indians who now dwell in the canyon show a less advanced civilization than its prehistoric occupants. Rev. Henry Mason Baum has made several visits to the canyons and dis covered many valuable specimens. In the current issue of Records of the Past he tells about some of his visits. He found Del Muerto the most inter esting. It takes Its name—“the can-1 yon of death"—from the fact that at the time of the Spanish conquest a large force moved tip the canyon and massacred hundreds of Indians. It was in this canyon that he found n most peculiar mummy—an aged cliff dwelling warrior done up in a well preserved feather cloth. By his side was a bow and arrow of perfect work manship. “As I made the accompany ing photograph," writes Mr. Baum, "it seemed to me that a more pathetic dis covery had not been made In recent years." In another cliff ruin was found the well-preserved skeleton of a male dwarf, supposed to he about 35 years old and measuring thirty-three inches in height. It is the first dwarf mummy found in the southwest and opens a considers' Held of investigation. “It may bring the student face to face with a race of dwarfs as found in some of the native tribes of Africa. Each tribe is the possessor of from one to four of these dwarfs, whom they re gard as their wise men. The saying is curreat among them that ‘you can fool a native many times, but a dwarf hut once.’ ”—New York Times. Are Small But Strong. Everyone in a general way knows of the astonishing muscular power employed by insects and of the real tours de force which they execute either in the pursuit of prey or in de fending themselves against their ene mies. At the same time one rarely has a precise idea of the strength of these insects because there are few standards of comparison, although nothing is simpler than to make a cor rect. valuation of their strength. The wing strength of insects is known because of the work of Felix Plateau and De Lucy, who showed that these little creatures could not raise a weight much heavier than themselves, no matter what the sur face of their wings. During the course of these experiments a very interest ing fact was discovered—namely, that the size of the wing decreases as the weight and size of the animal In creases, a fact which explains the slow, heavy flight of the beetle and the swift, light movement of the gnat. The case is entirely different, how ever, where the creature moves on a solid surface where six feet may ob V^^AAAAAA/VVVVV'WVVVVVVVVWVV tain points of support. In this case we can approximately calculate the force exercised. Take, for example, a fly by the wings, leaving the legs free so that they may seize and raise a match. If a man wished to perform relatively equal labor he would have to raise a beam 24% feet long by 14% inches square. The earwig harnessed to a small char'et drags without diffi culty matches, which for a large per cheron horse would mean dragging 330 beams as long and thick as him self. The man who leaps the 300 me ters of the Klffel tower is merely re peating the ac'.on of the flea, which can leap 200 times Its own height. Finally the Hercules Is obliged to raise eighty large locomotives to equal the relaiive strength of an oys ter, which in closing its valves exer cises a force of fifteen kilograms. Thus It is a pf.-.ch more simple thing to calculate t>.e strength of insects than to equal it and our modern ath letes have yet a long road to travel before they can compete with ani mals occupying very humble positions in the living world.—Public Opinion. ■^WVWVWNA^VW\AA Want a Special Stamp. The postoffice department is con stantly In receipt of requests for the issue of a mourning stamp for use on black-edged stationery. Persons in all grades of life assert that there is po harmony or appropriateness in an envelope with a olack edge and a red stamp in the corner and they beg the department to Issue a black stamp. The department has given much con sideration to the subject, but has been unable to comply with the requests on account of the rules of the universal postal union, which prescribe that our lowest value stamp shall be green; that the stamp used for domestic use shall be red and the stamp carrying foreign mail—5 cent—shall be blue, in view of these restrictions it has not appeared possible to meet the require ments for a mourning stamp, as the department does not deem it advisable to print a stamp-in red and also in Mack. However, the suggestion has been made that the 3-cent stamp, now printed In purple, might be issued in black, so that persons desiring to use a black stamp upon their mourning envelope might do so ny paying the additional cent. The department may take tip this suggestion later and act upon it. Right and Wrong Times. - Why do some people invariably say “Please could you tell me the right time?’’ How many wrong times arc; there, and what would be the advan tage of knowing them? These are questions only fit for mathematicians and lunatics. They are like a story Lady Gregory heard In the West of Ireland workhouse, and tells in her new book of “Pot-fa and Dreamers:’’ There was a man in Ballinasloo asy lum that was cot very mad—Just a little mad—and he used to be raking about the gate. And there was a clock over the gate; and one day the doctor was going out, and he took out his watch and looked up. and he said to himself. "That clock is not right." "If it was right it wouldn’t be here," said ihe man who was raking. Harsh me*: es are not always best—as the oruan who marries a man to re$o u him !s apt to discover to her £om? v.. U.S. SENATOR |FROM SOUTH CAROLINA Recommends Pe-ru-na For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble. Ex-Senatnr M. C. Butler. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will he pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman. President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O. Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally Called Dyspepsia —Something to Produce Artificial Diges* tion is Generally Taken. Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host of Other Digestive Remedies Has Been Invented. These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat of the Difficulty, Which is Really Catarrh. EX. U. S. Senator M. C. Butler from South Carolina, was Senator from that state for two terms. In a re* cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., from Washington, D. C., says: ••lean recommend Peruna for dys pepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a abort period and I feel very much relieved. It Is Indeed a wonderful medicine be sides a good tonic. ”—M. C. Butler. The only rational way to cure dyspepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial digestion. It cures catarrh and leaves the stomach to perform digestion in a natural way. This is vastly belter and safer than resorting to artificial methods. Peruna has cured more cases of dys pepsia than all other remedies combined, simply beenute it cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh is located in the head. Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as well in this location as in any other. Peruna is not simply a remedy for dys* pepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is gen , erally dependent upon catarrh.
