Mrs. Mary E. Meserve , of
Salisbury , Mass. , was cured of
Anaemia , a disease in which
there is an actual deficiency of
the blood , by the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink PSIls
for Pale People
She says : "The first symptom f
was an unusual paleness. Latci the *
blood seemed to have all left my
bodr. I had shortness of brrth and
fluttering of the heart ; was de
pressed , morose and peevish. I suf
fered for two years. Physicians did
me little good but I am now a well
woman because I took twelve boxes
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "
These pills really make new
blood and have cured obstinate-
cases of rheumatism , scrofula
and erysipcbs.They are es
pecially useful to growing girls.

tired of these overlnsl-inj ; experi
ments , " nnd he surveyed the pile of
corn muflins on the table with di.s-
pleasure and scorn , says the Philadel
phia Record.
George's mother , knowing the capa
bilities of her young hopeful for caus
ing embarrassment , did not aslc what
triticum Hour was or take occasion
at that time to point out George's fail
ure in good manners in so loudly de
claring his dissatisfaction at the food
he found on the table. In the even
ing , however , while on the porch with
visitors , and after George had retired.
* ho said to her husband : "George is
asking for bread made of triticum
llo < ir. What is that ? "
The husband hadn't the slightest
idea , tind frankly said so. A lawyer in
the party , when appealed to , hummed
and hawed a iittle , and said it was
probably some new-fangled idea
George had gathered at school , per
haps the name of a new breakfast
food. Another visitor suggested that
George might be a josher , and upon
this the party spelt the word back
ward , rearranged the syllables and did
other things known to puzzle solvers.
"I'm going to look it up , " said
George's eldest sister. She went into
the house and returned half an hour
with dust from the encyclopedia and
dictionary over her hands , but she was
triumphant.
"Why , it's wheat , " she said. "It's
simply the botanical name for wheat. "
George's father was inclined to be
proud of bis boy. but the visitors at
once started a discussion of the Rus
sian-Japanese war.

robes at their coronations ; both had
come to a violent end , one at Ponte-

Charles I. was resolute in his decision ,
and , when , twenty-three years after
ward , almost to a day , his body was
conveyed to its grave through a heavy
Miowstorm , the superstitious could not
help remarking that the third "white
king" had suffered a violent death.

more ep- och mak

notable event of July 3. 1S9S , in which the great hero.
Admiral Schley , took a leading part.
It was a great naval battle. Without a moment's warn
ing it began. Quick decision , undaunted courage , excellent
discipline , resolute self-confidence the-e combined in Admiral
Schley to produce that dash and daring .s , characteristic of
the American oldier.
A man must think quickly in the-e days. There i < no time
for slow action. New enterprise ari-e in an hour. Old ones
pass away in a moment.
A multitude of great themes clamor for rotice. A man

deduction.

A respectable old gentleman , some

got his feet entangled in a lady's divss
and fell headlong. lie staggered to
his feet , and looking round , indignant
ly demanded who struck him. A
gentleman present remarked sotto voce :
"You foil over that lady's feet ; nobody
struck you. "
The indignant citizen turned round
and surveyed the cause of the accident
n moment , and then , as it' by no means
satisfied with the cause of his mishap ,
said :
' Madame , you have got the biggest
feet I ever saw ! "
"Sir ! " responded the lady. Hushing
with anger.
"Fray , don't apologi/.e : it ain't your
fault , but take my advice , sit sideways
in the. future , and give them tho full

An Ancient Strike.
Probably the oldest strike on record
is that of the bakers engaged in bak
ing the shewbread for the Temple ,
which took place two years before the
destruction of the building by Titti- .
The Temple authorities engaged a
number of journeymen from Alexan
dria to take the place of the strikers ,
but the newcomers not being initiated
into the secrets of the trade the de
mands of the Jerusalem bakers had to
be conceded.

Work : lor the Lawyers.
There are 2.000.000 civil suits
brought ill this country every year. If
the plaintiffs were different in everj
case , one in eight of the voting popu
lation could be said to be a litigant.
As it is , the actual number of different
litigants is not in excess of 800,000
100,000 plaintiffs and100.000 defend
ants which is 1 per cent of the total
j population o the country , now about
80,000,000.
The number of lawsuits brought in
a year in France is 800,000.
In Italy Italians are much inclined
to litigation it is 1.400,000. and in Ger
many it is 3,000,000 , a very much larg
er number , both actually and relative
ly , than the number in the United
States.
Civil actions of all kinds begun last
year in Clreat Britain and Ireland num
bered about 1..100,000 , or one for nearly
every tenth male or female adult in
the United Kingdom. In 1002 there
was an increase of nearly ( . .2,000 ovei
the previous year , and 472.041 actions
were heard out of 1.410.484 that were
begun.
Of the number of appeal cases heard ,
one in every three was .successful ,
against one in four or five , years ago.
The total cost of British litigation in
190. ! was placed at S7.809.S7o.
