It is an interesting fact that the

In all parts of its journey through

must at some time approach nearer to
the sua than at others and will take
less lime in moving through one part
of its path than through another In

A MCEACE OF PEARLS
Is a beautiful possession If a woman owns
one and if a single pearl drops oS the string
she makes haste to find and restore it
Good health is a more valuable possession
than a necklace of the most beautiful pearls
yet one by one the jewels of health slip away
and women seem indifferent until it is almost
too late and they cannot be restored
To die before you are really old is to suffer
premature death and that is a sin It is a sin
because it is the result of repeated violations
of natures laws
Pain lassitude and weariness inability to
sleep dreadful dreams starting violently from
sleep are all symptoms of nerve trouble
You cannot have nerve trouble and keep
your health In ninety nine cases out of a
hundred the womb the ovaries and the bladder
are affected They are not vital organs hence
they give out soonest

Her Pointer
They weredrlvlngalong a lonely road
and both had been engaged in deep
thought for several moments Finally
she asked
Why dont you sell this horse and
get another
This is a very valuable animal he
replied and has trotted a mile in less
than 215
Oh I suppose he is very valuable
but I should think you -would rather
have a horse that was not so full of
life
Surely you are not afraid I have
him under perfect control There is no
cause to feel the least alarm
Im not alarmed at all I suppose
you can control the beast all right but
I should think you would want a horse
that you could drive with one hand
some of the time
The next day he traded his beautiful
horse for a cow and the maiden
never had cause for complaint again-

A Telling Illustration
The round good natured face of a
popular priest was seen in the midst of
a small group of laughing men in the
rotunda of a Columbus Ohio hotel
one day last week His reverence was
telling a new batch of stories for the
collection of which he is famous One
of these concerned a brother who wad
sent last fall into the coke regions of
Pennsylvania where a number of for-
eigners were said to be sadly in need
of his spiritual guidance He found
them singularly unresponsive and none
of his fervid eloquence appeared to
move his hearers or to make the slight
est impression on them At length he
saw that he would have to increase his
vehemence and exaggerate his figure
of speech He was describing hell and
he reached his climax by these words
You men have no idea of the tortures
of hell It is hotter than can be de
scribed by mortal man You may
have some time put your hand in a
pail of boiling water and know how
hot that it It is 212 degrees as science
measures it You have all looked into
the blazing cokeovens There is a fire
which cracks the skin and sears the
eyeballs That is 3000 degrees in in
tensity But my friends that coke
oven fire is nothing compared with hell
Three thousand degrees Why 3000
degrees is only ice cream for those dev
ils down there This proved a clinch
er The coke workers saw that hell
was something to be avoided and that
the good father could help them to do
so

How Bobby Went to the Grocery
Bobby had started down town with
A grocery list and it was the first time
he had gone alone so he felt very proud
and happy over it
But by any by he stopped under a
Jamp post to rest
Its purty hard work to walk all
alone to the grocery mans he thought
Just then a girl came by and stopped
to mail a letter in the iron box on the
lamp post
Bobby watched her with much inter
est
Where does it go to he asked
The letter answered the girl On
down to the postoffice Didnt you ever
see a postoffice box before
No maam said Bobby Cause
weve just rnoved here from the coun
try
Then as the girl went on Bobby
stood still looking at the box
I wonder if it wouldnt take my gro
cery list down he thought Cause if
its smart enough to take letters I
should think it would be able to take a
grocery list
So he tucked his paper in and sat
down to see what would happen
though his conscience pricked him a
little
My mother might not like it he
thought I wish I had thought to tell
her about it first
Presently a man dressed in gray
drove up and jumping out of his bug
gy unlocked the box and took out the
letters
Bobby stood up on tiptoe and tried
to see In
I thought he explained to the man
maybe Id have some groceries there
I put a list in
No said the man laughing this
doesnt deliver groceries But you climb
in the buggy and Ill take you down to
the grocery Heres your list
The grocery man let Bobby drive
back with him and when Bobby saw
his mother looking anxiously out of
the door he at once began to explain
I tried to ex-ex-peppermint with a
box mother he said but I was sor
rj though it was a tormentous long
ways to the grocery mans and if they
hadnt let me ride I dont know how
Id managed But I wont do it again
mother truly
Xo Bobby said his mother ex
periments dont always turn out right
and its better to go along the way your
mother expects you to
Yes thats so said Bobby I wont
forget that The Outlook
Snakes that Like Thunder
One of the wonders of the bare sandy
plains of New Mexico are the thunder
snakes They are by no means com
mon yet they are often encountered by
prairie travelers especially before and
after thunderstorms Flashes of light
ning and claps of thunder which are
so terrifying to bipeds and quadrupeds
seem to have the greatest charm and
delight for these members of the ser
pent family Whenever a thunder
storm comes up they have a reguar pic
nic They come crawling out of holes
from behind rocks and rotten stumps
and enjoy the fun while it lasts Their
nature is quarrelsome their character
fierce and they are aggressive in a high
degree although their markings are
very beautiful They are not poison
ous however their bark is worse thai
their bite
Longfellows Recipe for Health
In one of the recent magazines there
is a long article on the subject How
to Be Healthy Of course this doesnt
interest boys and girls very much be
cause most of them are fortunate in be
ing healthy already but some of the
older people would like very much to
know the best way of winning back
their health One time a man asked the
poet Longfellow how to be healthy and
this is the answer he received
Toy temperance and repose

CORRECT NAMES IN ALASKA
The Geographical Boards Decision
Says Dyea Should Be Taiya
The United States board on geo
graphical names which meets at stat
ed intervals has rendered decisions de
termining the spelling of 149 of these
names These include a number in
Alaska significant at this time in view
of the Klondike excitement Many
variations of nomenclature for the
same place are encountered and the
boards action determines the uniform
usage Following is a summary of ac
tion taken relating to places conspicu
ously mentioned in the gold stories
As to Klondike the decision is to
spell it as here given and not Clon
dyke Klondyke Chandyke Chandyk
or Deer Reindeer Throndike nor
Throu Diuck One of the lakes of the
upper Yukon was named Lebarge by
the Western Union telegraph expedi
tion in ISOS after Mike Lebarge a
member of the exploring party who is
now living somewhere near Ottawa
Out Late publications have fallen into
the error of spelling this Labarge but
the board adheres to the original for
Lebarge There is a Lebarge River in
Alaska
When Schwatka descended the Yu
kon in 1SS3 he named one of the lakes
on its headwaters Lindeman after Dr
Moritz Lindeman now vice president
of the Bremen Geographical Society
This sometimes appears erroneously as
Lindemann and Linderman The
board adopts Lindeman
One of the principal tributaries of
the uper Yukon is the Lewes River
named by Robert Campbell of the
Hudson Bay Company about 1848
This is often miscalled Lewis
The inlet river and village at the
head of Lynn canal -which now ap
pears in the newspapers almost daily
under the form of Dyea the starting
point for the overland route is an In
dian word which has appeared in
many forms Admiral Meade in 1SG9
wrote it Tyya Krause in 1882 wrote
it Dejah Schwatka in 1883 Dayay
Dall in 1S83 Taiya The board adopts
the form Taiya
For the lake and river variously call
ed Hootalinqua or Hotalinga or
or Teslin Too or Teslin the
board adopts Teslin The terminations
Hina and Too are said to mean river in
different Indian dialects
An Lndian village on the middle Yu
kon is called Nuklukayet This has
been written in several forms include
Ing the erroneous one Tuklukyet
She Knew
A girl from town is staying with
some country cousins who live on a
farm On the night of her arrival she
finds to her mortification she is ignor
ant of all sorts of things connected
with farm life which to her country
cousin are matters of everyday knowl
edge She fancies they seem amused
at her ignorance
At breakfast the following morning
she sees on the table a dish of finn
honey whereupon she thinks she lias
found an opportunity for retrieving her
humiliating experience of the night be
fore and of showing her country cous
ins that she knows something of life
after all So looking at the dish of
honey she says carelessly

Rest and BelieC
A piece of machinery run by steam
and overworked will become cranky
creaky and out of gear owing to some
expansion of metal from heat and fric
tion Stop its work rub and brighten
and let It rest In a short while it will
be restored and will run smoothly The
human system is a machine Too much
work and worry are thrown upon it
too much of the heat of daily cares too
much of the steam of daily business
The nerves become cranky they are
restless sleepless and twitchy and a
neuralgic condition sets in Pain
throws the machine out of gear and it
needs rest and treatment to strengthen
and restore St Jacobs Oil is the one
remedy of all peculiarly adapted to a
prompt and sure cure So many have
so freely testified from experience and
use to its efficacy in the cure of neural
gia that it passes without saying that
It surely cures It will be a gracious
surprise to many after the free use of it
to find how easily pain cares and worry
may be lifted and how smoothly the
human machine goes on

While discussing the merits of Ripans Tabnles recently m a conversation with a
friend a surgeon who is employed by the Long Island Railroad and who has a largo
private practice among people of social and business prominence in Brooklyn the
City of Churches expressed himself quite forcibly saying I dont wish my names
to appear as an indorser of a medicine that is advertised to the public at large but
there are several of my private patients who have not required my services as much
this spring as has been usual and two of them I found had been taking Ripans
Tabules and were said to have been so much benefited by their use that I becamei
very much interested in their cases because the illness from which they had suffered
was of a sort from which a doctor is no more free than other people are It was
dyspepsia and I knew by my own experience just what that was and how difficult it
is to treat it successfully I finally tried Ripans Tabules myself and by ginger
they are all the circular pretends them to be They are a first class article I can
heartily indorse them The formula is an old one but with one or two slight
changes that seem to add an effectiveness that was never before to be relied upon
with so much certainty
