Black-Draught.
Bbclc-Draught was recom

Car., by her father-in-law.
She nay?.:
“Shortly after I became a
bride, I had a spell of indi-
gestiou, and ray father-in-law
told me to take a dose o<
Black-Draught. I had never
heard of it before, but I tried
>t, and got such quick relief.
1 have turned to it ever since.
"About, three years ago, I
began having acute attacks of
Indigestion real frequently.
I would feel severe pains
through the lower part of my
•body, and they were accom
panied jjy bad gas pains. I
took a systematic course of
Black-Draught and soon be
gan (o feel better. The acute
attacks disappeared.”

Ccmbhzation More Than

In a sketch of John Hay by Charles
P. Tii-.vir president emeritus of
Western Reserve university. Included
in li!s book, “Guides. Philosophers and
Friends," is liiis Lincoln story told
to Doctor Tliwing by Hay:
“I know tlmt most of the anecdotes
told about Lincoln are apocryphal,”
said Hr. lla.v, "but tills one is true.
In the campaign which led, as It
proved, to his election, I was out with
Mr. Lincoln on the ‘stump.’
“Wo had n reception given to us In
one of tlie cities of our campaign. In
the line there came up a man who,
getting close to Mr. Lincoln, said:
“‘Mr. Lincoln, down our way, in
Buffalo, we hind o’ think if we can
have you and God t we can pull the
old tiling through.’
“Getting close, himself, to the man,
Mr. Lincoln replied:
“‘I kind o’ think you arc' more than
half right!’”—Kansas City Star.
Biasing the Beasts
A ouaint ceremony is that still ob
taining in some parts of Normandy,
the benediction des be/.liaux. The
oxen and the draft horses aro assem
bled in front of the 'church. There
may also be a bullock or two and per
il;;;).'; some cows. The procession of
peasants, clad in their very l.-esti Tv
sura from the church to the sound of
a chant Hint is droned by the priest.
The venerable cure sprinkles a few
drops of water on the heads of the
l easts and when all the animals have
received the benediction the next fea-'
lure of (lie ceremony is to place at
the pedestal of the cross facing the
church certain handles tied in coarse
linen. These bundles contain bread
and salt, which are t:o 1)3 given to
those beasts not- able to attend the
ceremony, says the Washington Star.
Power of Love
Gnco when John Buskin and
Thomas Carlyle were discussing the
literature of their day, the latter said
to Ills companion: “Can you tell me
why it is tlmt works on subjects of
vital interest to the race, splendidly
written by men of profound scholar
ship, command scarcely sutlicient sale
to pay the cost of publishing; while
trashy novels, false to history, false
to philosophy and false to the facts
of human experience, and altogether
lacking In literary merit, will sell by
scores of thousands?"
After a short pause, Raskin re
plied : “There is but one explanation
of that fact, but the explanation is
all-sufficient; the novel has love In
it and the other lias not.”—Scrib
ner's Magazine.

Bagpipes in Spain
Specimens of bagpipes are found on
old Spanish manuscripts. In the
beautiful volume of the "Cantigas dl
Santa Maria;” which was made in tlie
Thirteenth'"'century of King Alplionso
tlie Wise, there are 51 separate fig
ures of musicians. These form an
introduction to the canticles. There
are three pipers, among them with
bagpipes. Another Spanish manu
script of the end of the Fifteenth cen-
lury. illustrated by n Flemish artist
for Queen Isabella-, shows many mu
sical instruments; among which nr.
bagpipes.
Relic of Indian Art
A relief’of (lie old Mathura school
of Indian art is in the possession of
tlie Boston Museum of Fine Arts. It
consists' of a thin slab of red sand
stone, carved on both sides, l't is a
pediment decorated with a repeating
ornament of throe varieties, the same
on each side of the slab, and was
probably part of (he main or only
entrance to a temple which may have
been entirely of stone, but more likely
of brick except for the doorway.

Agc~Oid Difference
Over V/elsh Emblem
The custom of wonring tlie leek by
Welshmen on St. David's day lias been
variously accounted for. In the “Festa
Anglo-Romnna” we are told that it Is
worn in memory of n great victory
obtained by the ancient Britons, who
lived in tlie Welsh region, over the
Saxons, they, during the battle, hnv-
Vig leeks in their liats for their mili
tary colors and distinction of them
selves.
Other accounts sny tlmt when fight
ing under their King Cadwullo on a
field near Hethfield (or Hatfield
Chase) in G33 A. !>., In which Hint
vegetable was growing, they won an
other Victory and in jubilation they
uprooted the leeks, stuck them in
their hats and then returned home.
The custom has certainly remained
since that date, as can be seen at any
international sporting gathering with
which Wales is concerned. The daf
fodil is largely superseding the leek in
favor as the Welsh emblem.

The Button in History
The button Is a product of modern
civilization, since the ancient people
did not have any such form of hold
ing their clothes together. They were
first used for ornamental purposes.
The next step was the use of tlie but
ton and loop, the buttonhole being last
in tlie development. Buttons were first
employed in southern Europe in the
Thirteenth and Fourteenth centuries.
Thhlr manufacture in’ England did not
commence until the reign of Elizabeth.
The earliest mention of the button
hole In literature occurs in the year
35(31. While men’s outer garments are
still made with buttons and button-
holes, the trend of flic present is away
from surli fastenings. Almost all wom
en’s clothes and many men's under
garments arc now made without but
tons.
Flute Players Fever
Popular as Neighbors
Flute playing appears to have gone
out of fashion und It has been sug
gested that this Is because of the de-
nuneia-lic.n that the Instrument lias re
ceived from tlie pens of eminent writ
ers. Violinists ami pianists sometimes
figure in fiction as lierocsnnd heroines,
hut performers upon tlie flute are gen
erally introduced into novels only as
comic or unpleasant characters, says
tlie Philadelphia Inquirer.
At least three comic characters of
Dickens were flute players: Dick
Swivoller, who took to It ns a “good,
sound, dismal occupation,” and was
consequently requested to remove him
self to another lodging; Mr. Mell, the
schoolmaster, who “made tlie most
dismal sounds I ever heard produced
by any means, natural or artificial,”
and tlie young gentleman nt Mrs. Tod-
gers’ musical party who “blew his
melancholy into the flute.”
Bulwer-Lytton wrote of a clever
schoolboy who “unluckily took to the
llute ami unfitted himself for the pres
ent century,” and Charlotte Bronte
represents “inept curates” as perform
ing upon it. Then there was also
Goethe, who summed up the case
against the llute thus: "There is
scarcely a more melancholy suffering
to be undergone than what is forced
upon us by the neighborhood of an In-
dpleut player on the llute.”
Changing a Mule’s Mind
Gen. William Boutli, founder of Hie
Salvation Army, used to tell a story
of a man in South Africa who was ex
ceedingly successful in dealing with
mule teams. Asked how lie managed
these stubborn creatures, he said: 1
“Well, when they stop and won’t go
on, I just pick up a handful of gravel
or soil, put it to their mouths and let
them taste it. Of course they spit it
out again; but as a rule they begin
to go on.”
“Why do you think it lias that effect
on them?” persisted Ids questioner.
“Well, I don't know,” was tlie reply,
"hut I expect it changes the current
of their thoughts!”
ofiaucspcdre Pall-Bearer
In a corner of nn old cemetery near
Fredericksburg, Vn., says Capper’s
Weekly, a gravestone lias been found
lying lint on the ground under n tan
gle of weeds and creepers. The in
scription, in old English, is quite dim,
but still traceable. It reads:
“Hero Lies the Body of
“Edward Heldon
“Practitioner in Physics and Clitrur-
gery. Born In Bedfordshire, England,
in the year of our Lord, 15-112. Was
contemporary with and one of the
pall-bearers of William Shakespeare,
of the Avon. After a brief illness his
spirit ascended In the year of our
L<jrd 3G1S, aged 70.”
Kepi the Minutes
The village football club was being
reorganized. The vicar was appoint
ed president, and a person of particu
larly vacuous countenance was pro
posed as secretary.
“You know how to take the minutes,
of course, James?" asked tlie parson.
The secretary grinned.
“Yes, I know,” lie replied.
At the next meeting the president
announced that the secretary would
read tlie minutes of the previous
meeting. The secretary produced ids
notebook, and stood ftp.
“The meeting lasted twenty-five
•minutes,” lie said', brightly.—London
Tit-Bits.
Persians Fond of Tea
Tea drinking is a universal social
habit In Persia. One of tlie social
institutions of great attraction is the
teahouse, some of which are furnished
quite elaborately, while others are
rude in their surroundings. Business
men often make appointments here,
and it is very common for loafers to
seek out these teahouses. The com
mon pipes, cigarettes and the kalean,
or water pipe, are much used. In
the water pipe tlie smoke passes
through tlie water and is drawn into
the lungs. Lemon juice and other Ha
vers are sometimes mixed with the
water.
Fly’s Many Byes
Tlie greater part of the head of a
ll.v is occupied by the eyes, some sev- j
eral thousand in number, described 1
ns compound. Between the compound I
eyes and near tlie top of the head is 11 ;
triangular arrangement of throe sim
ple eyes. The upper two are' much 1
farther apart In the female than in
the male. In spite of the arrangement ;
of the eyes and tlie great mobility of.
the head, it is not believed that the
vision of Hies is especially acute, nl-'
though the range of vision Is wide. 1
Inhuman Affiliation
Comprachicos was the name adopted
by a nomadic affiliation famous in the
Seventeenth century in Europe. This
band of persons made a practice ol
buying and selling children. These
children were by means of suiglcal op
erations deformed and disfigured so
that they assumed certain peculiarities
which provided the humor demanded at
tlie time. The organization had Its
own laws, oaths and formulas, and was
found principally In England, Spain,
France and Germany. The name is n
compound Spanish word meaning buy
ers of little ones.
Man’s Small Job
The function of woman Is to serve
the race. The function of mar is to
serve t He woman and the child.—
American Magazine.
“Knowledge” and “Wisdom”
How it comes to pass I know not.
and yet it is certainly so, there is as
much vanity and weakness of judg
ment in those who profess tlie great
est abilities, who take upon thorn
learned callings and bookish employ
ments as in any other sort of men
whatever; either because more Is re
quired and expected from them, and
that common defects are inexcusable
in them, or rather because tlie opinion
they have of their own learning makes
them more hold to expose and lay them
selves too open, by which they lose
and betray themselves.—Montaigne.
Had Small Beginning
Y’lten James Itltiy, an obscure in
ventor. sold a newfangled contriv
ance to Hie owner of a mining store
in Coalton, Ohio, in the early eighties,
1 lie transaction formed the founda
tion for a business whoso stiles today
run far into the millions. When
punched forcibly, the device regis
tered on a strip of paper the'amounts
ol cnsli Kales. It could not have cost
more than $20 to make and the price
was B100. The mining store was
steadily losing money, yet the I’at-
lerson brothers, who owned it.
bought two of tlie devices, because
the salesman recommended It as a
good thief-catcher. During the next
I year, without any apparent increase
j in turnover, the .business made a
| profit of $12,000. One of tlie broth- .
j ers was the late John II. l’atterson.
After three years hud passed, at a
time when tlsa contrivance seemed an
assured failure, he bought control of
Hie manufacturing business for $0.- j
500 and renamed I: the National Cash •
Register company.—Silas Bent in
Century Magazine.
Music ce a Pastime
or cc a Livelihood
If you wanted your son to be a
tailor, would you ask a tailor to give
him one lesson a week and then let
him practice for one-half or one full
hour dally on making clothes? Music
Is a more profound anil dilliculN study
than tailoring. A great many people
earn their livelihood through music,
Just as a great number earn their live
lihood by tailoring. If you want your
boy to pencil tlmt livelihood earning
stage, then lie will have to work about
six hours a day and take at least one
lesson daily. However, if your aim
Is merely to have him study music as
a form of culture, just as otfe would
study French, Latin, Spanish, draw
ing, etc., within the day’s work, de
voting a fraction of the day’s study to
each, then, of course, he wilt derive
a great deal of beneficial and worth
while knowledge from them all. but
very little real and lasting knowledge
from any uarticular one.—Musical Ob
server.
■The Name of London
The name I*e.*don ftr-tbe -subject of
much discussion among philologies of
Groat Britain.
One theory is that It moans “the
fort by the lake,” from the Welsh
“llyn,” lake, and “din,” a fortified
place Another Is that it is derived
from tlie Norse word “Lund” (diminu
tive “Llinden”), a sacred grove.
There is a town in Yorkshire called
Lund, after Lund in Scandinavia, at
one time one of Hie chief commercial
cities itr Sweden. Ils merchants
traded with Britain In Roman times.
It is thought that Lund in Yorkshire,
J.ur.d in Svedmt, and Lundeu, or Lon
don, were probably the sites of sacred
groves, where the priests of the
Bronze age offered human sacrifices
to the sun god.—Boston Transcript.
Bark Vital Part cf Tree
Thu stem of a tree, also called
trunk and bole, is the main axis ex
tending from the roots to the crown,
or to the tip in case of an unbranched
stem. Tree stems range from long
to short, straight to crooked and
from erect to prostrate. An examina
tion of u cross-section of a stem
will show bark, wood and pith, says
tlie American Tree Association. In
Hie central part of the stem is the
pith. About it is the wood, which in
many trees can be divided into the
darker henrtwood and tlie lighter sap-
wood. Between the wood and the
bark is a thin layer known ns the
cambium. This is the most vital part
of a tree, for it is here that all new
wood and bark are made up.
British Ccal Abundant
For her size, Great Britain lias more
and better coal than any other coun
try in the world. The coal seams, ly
ing one below another to an unknown
depth, not infrequently cropping out
nt the surface, are proof that tropical
conditions once prevailed in the lati
tude of these islands. The district
which is now Great Britain wa? con
nected in primeval times with the
continent, and tlie coal of England
doubtless runs under the channel and
tlie southern part of tlie North sea,
continuing in the coal fields of north
ern Franco, Belgium and Flap tiers.
Baseball’s Origin
Baseball was known in various
forms in tlie East for years before
it received organized recognition, but
its birthplace Is a matter of dispute.
Philadelphia takes the credit as far
back as 1833, nnd New York chdins
that its Washington club, organized
in 3813, was tlio first exponent of the
actutil game. Baseball as a national
game really came into existence in
3858, with the fortaation of a National
Association of Baseball Players, In
cluding the clubs of New York and
vicinity.
