Tho late Earl of Beaconsfield was gifted with any amount of moral and political courage, but he was an ab ject coward physically.

Why, do you know I always have to pull the string of his shower bath”’’ And 'he great man was fain to confess that this was actually the case. The Romance of Anthracite. The anthracite trade began wlrh an output of 1,905 tons in twelve months. It has grown to 70,000,000 tons annu ally. In 1803 the city of Philadelphia bought. 100 tons of anthracite for use In the pumping works, but the engi neers, not knowing how to burn It, broke It up to gravel the walks in the yards. In 1814 two arkloads were eoid at the falls of the Scuylklll for f21 a ton. A morning was wasted in futile attempts to burn this coal, ami at noon the employer and his work men, discouraged at their ill luck, shut up the furnace and went h> din ner. On their return they were as tonished to find a roaring Are, the furnace doorB red hot and the fur nace Itself in danger of melting. From that, day dates the successful use of anthracite in America. Reads Like a Miracle. Frlarspolnt, Miss., Nov. 30.—The Rutter case still continues to be the talk of the town. Mr. G. L Butler, the father of the little boy, says: “The doctor said my boy had disease of the spinal cord, and treated him for two months, during which he got worse all the time. Finally the doctor fold me he did not know what was the i rouble. The boy would wake up dur '.rg the night and say that ho was dying. He would be nervous and trem bling and would want to run from the house, saying ho saw ugly things which frightened him. After we had trled-everything else, I read an adver tisement of Dodd’s Kidney Pills as a cure for Nervous Troubles. I pur chased some and used them until he had taken altogether eight boxes when he was sound and well with not a sin gle symptom of the old trouble. This was some months ago, and I feel sure that he Is permanently cured We owe to Dodd’s Kidney Pills all the credit for his restoration to good health.” A man Is caught more times ti his epeech than a woman, because you can't interrupt a woman. f ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦ ♦ ♦♦ ♦•♦♦♦♦•♦ ♦♦♦ ►♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦ ♦ Modes of Hair Dressing ♦ ♦ <m ««-« ♦♦♦♦♦♦ • • ♦ ♦ ♦ * -4 » ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦ « < ♦ ♦ • ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦ ♦ •meet Simplicity. 1830 Style.

Nowadays they have little variety of coiffure and many bald heads, while women can wear their hair high or low, puffed or smoothed, and everything Is permis sible except short hair. The pride of the savage chief is in his hair. Sometimes, when he tired of bushy effects au naturel, he dyed part of his haid one color, and part another, or he shaved off part and varnished the rest. In some tribes the women are not allowed decorative effects. Their sim plicity must be a foil to the gorgeous ness of the other sex. But when they do begin they are capable of most un usual styles. What women have ever taken to wearing heavy white wigs and perukes ns did the men at one time, and as do the English judges of to-day? And what men have ever reached the beau tiful simplicity of the little maiden who binds her hair with ribbon? Tho pompadour in its extreme form is in artistic and is now passing. Hair worn low makes the face youthful and frames the face naturally and pictur esquely. For others, the half-high coiffure adds to the beauty of the shape of the head. Hair combed back smoothly gives severity even to a kindly face; fluffy hair softens the expression of a hard face. A 0«T*#e Cblrf I Savacre Bride. $c«futcfntb Centnry Style. A. Quaint Effect. NEVER FORGOT HIS MANNERS. Two Good Stories Told of Major-Gen eral Plumer. In the Matabeleland campaign of 1896-97 Colonel, now Major-General, Plumer, raised and led a battalion of mounted riflemen, and he used to re turn to Bulawayo in the evening as clean and spruce as though he had just come in from a stroll down Bond street. As an example of his unvary- ! ing "drawing room manners,” as a ( brother officer once styled them, a j story is told of him that during the Matabele campaign hi3 small force found itself in a very hot corner, and men were falling rapidly in all direc tions. Plumer had two machine guns with him. and these, he considered, were not doing as well as they might be. He called up an orderly, there fore, and said to him: “Will you kind ly go to Captain Blank (who com manded (he gunsi and tell him that I think he might do better if he would please move his guns a littie further to the right. Thank you." And then he calmly went on with his direction of the fight in the same quiet, easy manner. Again, he was rather badly hit while in command of a column during the recent South African war, and sent a message to his second in command to the effect “that, he was rather badly scratched, and he would be greatly obliged if Colonel Blank would take over tin* command of the force pending further orders."—Men and Women (London). Talked with Its Feet. “Parrots? No, there isn’t a great demand for parrots any more,” said the dealer. "A man from Mt. Airy came in the other day with a fine looking bird which he said was a good talker, and sold it to me cheap. I know the nature of parrots pretty well, and when this one failed to show off Its accomplishments I attributed it to the natural stubbornness of the bird. But day after day went by, and it never uttered a sound. All it would do was to sit on its perch and ges ticulate with its feet, makitig all sorts of fantastic motions with its toes. Alstut a week later the man who sold it to me came in. 1 thought you said that parrot you sold me was a good talker,’ 1 said. 'It hasn't shown any evidence of it. Ail it does is to sit and wriggle Its toes.’ 'That's all right.,’ said the Mt. Airy man, ‘it was raised in the deaf and dumb asy lum:”’ His Long* Experience. The smart sayings of the Duchess of itoxburghe can be vouched for by one reporter at least. It seems she has formed a penchant for American enililren and has been mightily amus ed by th^m. “The American child is more than father to the man." Her Grace admit ted: "lie's almost the grandfather. At a juvenile party 1 advised a certain mode of entertainment, and the six year-old son of Uncle Sam remarked: " ‘Thank you ever so much for your suggestion, but i know better, for I’ve entertained children all my life.’ ”— New York Times. The Pleasures of Domesticity. “What a cozy home you have!" said his bachelor friend as he entered Mr. Benedict's house for the first time. "Yes, indeed," said Mr. Benedict ecstatically, "I never knew the real comfort of life until I married. Now. if you'll just sit down a moment I’ll go down and 1111 the furnace, split a little kindling wood, bring up some coal for the grate fire, set out the milk pitcher, mend the kitchen stove, put up u curtain pole, attend to a few other domestic duties, and then well sit down and have a real nice time." THE IMPORTANCE OF SYSTEM. Saves Wear and Tear in the Daily Stress of Life. A very important thing in all edu cation Is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy. It Is to capitalize our acquisitions and to live at ease upon the interest of the fund. For this we must make auto matic and habitual, as early as pos sible, as many useful actions as we can. and guard against growing into ways that are likely to be disadvan tageous to us, as we should guard against the plague. The more of the details of our daily life we can hand over to the effortless custody .of automatonism the more of our higher powers of mind will be set oPRINJO FETTERS AS AN ORNAMENT. Harshness to Siberian Exiles Not Al ways Prevalent. T.co Deutsch, a Russian political ex ile. who lias been permitted to return to ills home, tells in a recently pub lished book, “Sixteen Years in Sibe ria." tales not only of suffering but of lenient treatment by his jailers. In Siberian prisons often the harshness of the discipline was considerably re laxed. On one occasion, to the vast amusement o'* the prison authorities, Deutsch appeared before the governor with his fetters tied up with a piece of string, and it appeared he had only assumed them for the moment. But the complaisant governor was afraid of a visit from high quarters. “Then d' an inspection is made you will he wearing your fetters?" he asked, laughing. "Of course,” replied Deutsch. “You see, I've come to you in full dress.” pointing to his tied up chains. On another occasion Deutseli's bag was stolen. It contained, among other articles of a convict’s attire, the indispensable fetters, and he had to apply for a r.ew pair. “Take care you don’t lose these!” sc!d the officer, as Deutsch packed them among liis lug gage. Kindred Souls. Mr. Jacnlj Ilils was dining out one :.ight when ids hostess presented him to a charming young girl. “My dear,” said the hostess. “I want you to know Mr. Rils. He is a . free for their own proper work. There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision, and for whom the do ing of every action, the time of rising and going to bed every day. and the beginning of every piece of work, are subjects of express volitional deliber ation. Fully half the time of such a man goes to the deciding or regretting of matters which ought to be so in grained in him as practically not to exist for his consciousness at all. An Ethical Distinction. Representative Robinson of Indiana was declaiming on the beauties ol nature. ‘‘I love to see the early morning sunshine kiss the dome of the capl tol, paint it golden, and make it look glad.” ••I’ll bet you $10 you never saw It,” said Representative Rapport ot New York.

GRATEFUL, HAPPY WOMEN • <» «> AJLA.A Jfc m m i —--— — - --_ THANK PE-RU-NA FOR THEIR RECOVERY AFTER YEARS OF SUFFERING. Miss Muriel Armitage, 36 Greenwood Ave., Detroit, Mich,, District Organizer of tho Royal Templars of Temperance, in a recent letter, says : " 1 think that a woman naturally shrinks from making her troubles public, but restored health has meant so much to me that I feel for the sake of other suffering women it is my duty to tell what Reruna has done for me. “I suffered for five years with uterine irregularities, which brought on hysteria and made me a physical wreck. I tried doctors from the different schools of medicine, but without any perceptible change in my condition. In my despair 1 called on an old nurse, who advised mo to try Peruna, and promised good re sclts if I would persist and take it reg ularly. I thought this was the least I could do and procured a liottle. I knew as soon a3 I began taking it that it was affecting r.-.a differently from anything I had used before, and so I kept on tak ing it. 1 kept this up for six months, and steadily gained strength and health, and when I had used fifteen bottles I considered myself entirely cured. I am a grateful, happy woman to-day.”— Miss Muriel Armitage. Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic organs with the same surety as it cures catarrh o£ the head. Peruna has be come renowned as a positive cure for femalo ailments simply because the ail ments are mostly due to catarrh. Ca tarrh is the cause of the trouble. I’eruna cures the catarrh. The symp^ toms disappear. Female Weakness is Pelvic Catarrh. Always Half Sick are the Women Who Have Pelvic Catarrh. Catarrh of any organ, if allowed to pro gress, will affect the whole body. Catarrh without nervousness is very rare, but pelvic catarrh and nervousness go hand in hand. What is so distressing a sight as a poor half-sick, nervous woman, suffering from the many almost unbearable symptoms of pelvic catarrh f She does not consider her self ill enough to go to bed, but she is far from being able to do her work without the greatest exhaustion. This is a very com mon sight and is almost always due to pel vic catarrh. It is worse than foolish for so many women to sutler year after year with a dis ease that can be permanently cured. 1’eruna cures catarrh permanently. Jt curesold chronic cases as well as a slight attack, the only ditlerence being in the length of time that it should be taken to cilect a cure. If you do not derive prompt and satisfac tory results from the use of I’eruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full state ment of your case, and he will be pleased to give you bis valuable advice gratis.
