Martin Van Buren was nicknamed Little Magician, an allusion to the size of his person and to the adroit ness of his political methods. He was also called the Wizard of Kinder hook, an allusion to his country home.

Would Have Pleased Queen. A characteristic little story is told about Princess Charles of Denmark, which, if not new, is well worth re peating. When she was quite a little girl, a woman asked her whether it was true that the Queen once boxed the ears of a boy whom she saw ill treating a dog, says Home Notes. "No,” said Princess Maud. “It is not true, but I am sure mamma would have liked to have done it.” London Rents Tumble. A great revolution seems to be tak ing place in the West End of London. Rich people an? gradually giving up their houses. Prices, which ruled ab normally high a few years ago, have gone down considerably, until a per fect slump reigns in the estate agen cies. Owing to the unrest which per vades all society, people never settle anywhere now.—Lady Violet Greville in The Graphic. Use of “Storm Destroyers." In Europe it las become almost a commonplace occurrence to shoot at the clouds with cannon or specially constructed apparatus to dispel threatened hai.storms. In almost every country ol the continent where agriculture forms the mainstay of the people there is a systematic use of these storm destroyers. Children Fashionable. Children have become the fashion It is the smart thing to sit at meat with them, to pay deference to their opinions, to encourage them in their ingenious flippancies. That is an im provement on the dreadful tyranny of our grandfathers and grandmoth ers; but the wheel has turned a little too far.—World and His Wife. Thrifty Habits. Wise parents will ever strive to im press upon their children the neces sity of forming prudent habits; of spending money to advantage, so that some article of utility or value is al ways obtained for it; the duty of ex ercising systematic and judicious charity, and that the purest happiness which can be experienced upon earth springs from the practice of benevo lence.—Exchange. For the Indoor Garden. There are four essentials for a suc cessful indoor garden—even tempera ture, cleanliness, unremitting attention to ward off insects and careful water ing, neither drowning, which produces sourness of the soil and yellowness on leaves, nor droughts, which cause a general wiltiness, not to mention premature decease.—Exchange. Jungle Fowl Nest. The Australian jungle fowl, instead of a nest, builds a huge earth mound, often fifteen feet in height, with a cir cumference of 150 feet. There mounds are under cover and are so enveloped in foliage that, in spite ai their size, they can scarcely be discov ered. How About Lsing Slang? “You must cut out whispering.” Is one of Judge Lindsey’s steady injunc tions to bad boys whom he has gotten into school. “Unless you can control yourself in a little thing like that, what will you do with big tempta tions?” I heard him say to a boy.— Journal of Education. Superstituticn-i of Sailors. Among the animals which the sailor considers as omens of good or ill luck are cats, hares, rats and porpoises, or sea hogs.

Inventive was a certain Munich doctor, who holding that an equable heat was necessary for the brain, caused to be constructed on the top of his hat a small metal chamber, to contain ice in the summer and hot water in the winter. A small ther mometer projecting through the side of the headgear enabled its wearer to ascertain the interior temperature. Might Have Been Jonah's. Some one remarked to Edward D. Sohler, the Boston lawyer, that he had read in a paper that a dead whale had driven ashore at Nantucket con taining in its stomach a pair of boots marked “J.” Mr. Sohler instantly re plied: “They probably belonged to Jonah, and he must have left them when he stepped out.”—New York Times. The Common Bond. None of ns can boast that he is en tirely independent of the people and the conditions about him for help and encouragement. We all depend in a sense upon the books we read, the minds we encounter, the scenes that meet our eye, for much of the happi ness and inspiration we find in life. —Chicago Journal. “Neck Verse." The first verse of the fifty-first Psalm is called the “Neck Verse,” for the reason that in former times a man condemned to death sometimes had a chance to save his life by prov ing that he could read, and this verse was used as a test.

The plodding farmer may be slow, but in the end, in his race with other lines of industry that seem to hold out brighter promises, he always seems to come out as did the patient tortoise in his race with the hare. ! The latest illustration of this comes from Colorado, a state which only a few years ago was dazzling the world with the riches of its gold and silver mines. The annual reviews of Colorado’s progress show that in 1905 the state produced the greatest amount of gold of any year in its history, a total of $29,000,000. But in the same year, the grain and potatoes, hay and other produce from Colorado farms aggre gated more than $40,000,000 in value. Silver was higher in value than for several years, and the production of this metal in Colorado rose to $11, 000,000, but the combined product of the orchards and sugar beet patches beat the total of silver by $1,500,000. Five million dollars’ worth of lead was marketed, which is just about equal to the value of the fat lambs shipped. The whole value of the product of the metalliferous mines of the state was $43,000,000. The : products of the farms aggregated more than $70,000,000. More money is being invested in agricultural projects in Colorado than in the devlopment of mines. Reser voirs and canals originally planned for placer mining have been diverted to irrigation, and the next few years seem like to see the area of highly productive farming lands in the state more than doubled. The “man with the hoe” seems to have secured a start over the man with the hammer and drill, which the latter will never i be able to overcome, unless some very remarkable new discoveries of i mines are male. — Beware of the man who imagines he owns the earth; he may try to unload a portion of it on you. Every housekeeper should know that If they will buy Defiance Cold Water I Starch for laundry use they will save ! not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in 9«-pound packages, and the price Is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand ! which he wishes to dispose of before 1 he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures ‘T6 ozs.” Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoy ance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. The man on the treadmill doesn't enjoy seeing the wheels go round. WILLING TO SHARE WITH GOD Simple Faith and Gratitude of a Little Child. The simple faith of a little child, whether applied to parents, friend or to God, found an illustration in a story recently told by Dr. Levi G. Broughton of Atlanta, Ga., when he was in Bos ton. It was related to him by a friend in the railroad service as follows: “My little girl came to me a little while before Christmas and said: ‘Papa, I want you to pray to God and ask him to have Santa Claus bring me a dolly for Christmas.’ I promised, and on Christmas morning she found her doll, and called me to see it. As she looked it over, examining the face, the eyes, the hair, and the clothes, she said, ‘Papa, hain’t God good? He’s gooder than I thought he was. Do you think he sent little brother anything?’ “I told her she might go over to her grandma’s, where brother was visiting, and find out. Presently she returned, with her face all covered with happy smiles, and exclaimed, ‘O, papa! God sent brother a beautiful great big hob by-horse.’ “Breakfast came soon after and as we sat down at the table she climbed upon my knee, and putting her arms around my neck she said again. 'Hain’t God good ? and he was gooder to broth er than he was to me. wasn’t he?’ “I replied. “Yes, he is good, and now what are you going to do for God. dear?’ “ ‘O. I'm going to let God play with my dolly all he wants to; and I'm go ing to ask brother to let God ride his hobby-horse, too.’ ”—Boston Post DETERMINED TO BE GENEROUS. Old Gentleman Was Not Used to Thinking in Millions. A quarter of a century ago there lived in a western village a gentle old man subsisting on a meagre salary One day he learned that his brothei ! had died in San Francisco, and left ; him a fortune of $50,000,000. The transition was staggering, especially j so since it was followed by a showei of appeals for money from every qnar ! ter of the globe and from persons known and unknown to him. His son, who acted as his secretary, noticed with regret that his fatheT seemed unable to grasp the meaning or his new power, and was glad to nave him at last evince a little in terest in one of his begsdng letters It proved to be from Williams col lesre. asking an endowment on the plea that the old man's birthplace was near the institution. “I'd like to do something for tha1 school,” said he, meditatively. "WTeil, I would father, if I were you,” his son encouraged him. “1 believe I will.” The old man’s ar dor kindled. “I believe I'll give them something handsome.” "So you should,” the son pursued “Why not?” "I will. I’ll give them—” he thoughl for a moment—“I’ll give them $100!’ Put His Foot in It. J. Nota McGill, ex-register of wills for the District of Columbia, and now professor of patent law at Georgetown university, lost a hat; a point to a joke, and a goodly amount of tempei yesterday. This is how it came tc pass; Mr. McGill was walking from the patent office up G. Street to his own office, when he came face to face with a nor’wester. Mr. McGill is not of the excitable kind, but when that nor’wester struck him he lost his head—or rather his hat. “Hey. there.” cried the ex-register, “stop that brand new hat of mine! Won’t some one stop it?” There was something in the profes sor's voice that appealed to a dapper looking stranger, who made a lunge at the head gear, but could do no better than put his feet through it. Consequently the brim was the onlj part recognizable after the fatality. “Well, you certainly have put your foot in it,” shouted Mr. McGill. “Beg pardon, what did you say?” asked the dude. “I say you’ve put your foot in it.” “By Jove, say not so, old chap.” "Say not so yourself.” growled the professor, “you surely have fixed my hat up all right.” “I am awfully sorry—weally.” con fessed the dude. “Let me ’ave it mended.” “Oh, no,” said the ex-register with sarcasm, “the brim is not worth a crown now.” “A crown? I should say it is! Why the bloomin’ thing is worth a sover eign at least!"—Washington Post. Busy American Women. The American woman is going ahead. The census returns show that 5,000,000 and more women are em ployed in the nation's industrial life. There are now three times as many women stenographers as there were ten years ago, while the number of women bookkeepers and accountants has doubled. The percentage of saleswomen also shows a correspond ing increase. Women have risen to be treasurers of street railways, presi dents of national and savings banks, secretaries of financiers on salaries of $10,000 and $12,500, executive heads of building and contracting firms, buyers for large stores, etc. They are to be met with in a hundred responsible capacities, all of them outside the once circumscribed field of female occupations, and in all of which a talent for figures is a prime requisite 'of success. For Believers in a “Hoodoo.” Opie Read is very superstitious. While on a reading tour with Ben King, the poet suddenly died at Bowl ing Green on the night he recited “If 1 Should Die To-night." Commenting on the incident Read said: “There was a curious chain of circumstances that night. It was the 13th of the month, it was the thirteenth town of our tour, thirteen sat down to the table with us at supper, and thirteen darkies, thinking that Ben and I were going to give a minstrel show, sat in the front row of the balcony.” Veteran Dances Clog. Thomas Clark, see 78, a Mexican war veteran, recently danced a Lan cashire cjog at the machinists’ bene fit minstrel show in Bellefontaine, Ohio. SORES ON HANDS. Suffered for a Long Time Without Relief—Doctor Was Afraid to Touch Them—Cured by Cuticura. “For a long time I suffered with sores on the hands which were itch ing, painful and disagreeable. I had three doctors, and derived no benefit from any of them. One doctor said he was afraid to touch my hands, so you must know how bad they were; another said I never could be cured; and the third said the sores were caused by the dipping of my hands in water in the dye-house where 1 work. I saw in the papers about the wonderful cures of the Cuticura Reme dies and procured some of the Cuti cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. In three days after the application of the Cuticura Ointment my hands began to peel and were better. The sore ness disappeared, and they are now smooth and clean, and I am still working in the dye-house. Mrs. A. E. Maurer, 2340 State St„ Chicago. 111., July 1, 1905.” Effect of Narcotics.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia and his muscles would soon fail. Phvsi cal strength is derived from food. If a man has insufficient food he loses strength. If he has no food he dies Food is con verted into nutrition through the stom ach and bowels. It depends on the strength of the stomach to what extent food eaten is digested and assimilated. People can die of starvation who have abundant food to eat. when the stomach and its associate organs of digestion and nutrition do not perform their duty. Thus the stomach is really the vital or gan of the body. If the stomach is "weak” the body will he weak also, because it is upon the stomach the body relies for its strength. And as the body, considered aB a whole, is made up of its several mem bers and organs, so the weakness of the body as a consequence of "weak" stom ach will be distributed among the or gans which compose the body. If the body is weak because it is ill-nourished that physical weakness will be found in bll the organs—heart, liver, kidneys, etc. The liver will be torpid and inactive, giving rise to biliousness, loss of appetite, weak nerves, feeble or irregular action of heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache, backache and kindred disturbances and weaknesses. Mr. Dmis Pare, of Quebec, writes: "For Tears after my health liegan to fail, my head grew diray. eyes pained me. and my stomach was sore all the time, while everything I would eat would seem to lie heavy like lead on my stomach. The doctors claimed that it was sympathetic trouble due to dyspepsia, and prescribed for me. and although I took their powders regularly yet I felt no better.
