That Tired Feeline m
It is rcm&Tkable how many people
there are who have That Tired Faaling
and seem to think it is of no impor¬
tance or that nothing ncod be done for
it. They would not bo so careless if
they realized how really serious the
malady is. But they think or say f, It
will go off after a while. ”
Wo do not mean the legitimate
weariness which all experience after a
hard day's work, but that all-gone,
worn-out feeling which is especially
overpowering in the morning, when
the body should bo refreshed and
ready for work. It is often only the

forerunner of nervous prostration,
with all the horriblo suffering that
term implies. That Tired Feeling and
nervousness are sure indications of an
impure and impoverished eondition of
the blood. The craving of the system
for help can only be met by purifying
the blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the
one great blood purifler. It expels all
impurities, gives vitality and strength,
regulates the digestion and mokes the
weak strong.
“ In the spring I felt very much ran down
—no strength or appetite. I began to take
Hood’s Sarsaparilla and my appetite Improv¬

Wicked, Deceitful Boy.
A subscriber to morning and evening
papers residing on the north side has
just made an interesting discovery of
how papers are stolen from doorstops.
Tushed to desperation by losing pa¬
pers just the mornings he seemed to
want them the most, he got up early
the first of the week and watehod.
Ho had not boon at his post long
when a boy selling papers came along,
accompanied by a spaniel dog.
The boy was calling ■ “Papers !” but
desisted when he reached, the gate,
railing it open quietly, he called to
the dog: “Ilere, Boss, go in and go
it!”
The dog dashed into tho yard and
onto tho porch, grabbed tho paper and
was out to tho boy in a twinkle.
The discovery may explain how a
boy can stand at n front gate in nn in¬
nocent attitude and yet bo engaged in
a vory reprehensible practico. — Colum¬

THE FEAST OF THE DOLLS.
A PICTTJRESCIUE SPRING CUSTOM
IN JAPAN.
Then Young Mon and Sweet Maidens
May Mingle—At All Other Times
They Are Kept Apart.
s PR1NO season It sun-rising is a of is perfect tho tho country. year most paradise, in delightful Japan. this
It is at tho beginning of this season
that one of the prettiest and oldest
customs of tho Japanpso people is ob¬
served. It is tho great holiday for tho
girls, called the “Feast of Dolls, or
the “Feast of the Peaches,” because
it occurs at the tirao when tho poach
trees aro in bloom. Although hold
particularly for tho young girls, tho
ploasuros of the day arc shared by
their friends of tho sterner sex.
The “Momo-no-Sokku” occurs on
tho 3d of March—or really bogins on
tho 1st and reaches the climax on tho
3d. This time is looked forward to
with great ekpootatiou and prepara¬
tion.
Tho origin of this custom dates back
nearly twonty conturics and somo of
tho details aro rather obscure. For
instance, tiio it is not known why it occurs
on 3d of March or why it is ob¬
served exclusively by unmarried girls.
About twonty oenturios ago Japan was
govornod by an Emperor and his wife.
This Empotor was aalldd Nin-toku
Tenno, and ho was a great . and good
sovereign. * In memory ,pf. thoir bo
lovod rnlors, tho peoplo mndo dolls to
show thoir respact and affection for
the dead, and dedicated them to thoir
memory. This is tho generally ao
poptecl "tho origin ’’Feast of tho “Momono-Sokku,”
or of tho Dolls.” How¬
ever, with the lnpso of time this idea
Wail done away, with and tho day is
now dedicated to tho “Goddess of
Love.”
Until thirty yoars ago, during the
feudal time, it was ono of tho National
holidays, bn£ is not now ono. From
tho end of February to tho 3d of March,
every family having an unmarriod
daughter or daughters, is extromoly
busy making preparations for this
holiday. In tho first "plnco, a room is
set asido in which the dolls aro to bo
arrangod. This is decorated with
poaoh blossoms in a vory protty man¬
ner. Against tho walls of tho room are
arranged a sorios of shelves, covorod
With bright rod and embroidered cloth.
On tho first tior ono or two pairs
of Hina (dolls) aro placod splendidly
dressed in gold brocado of anoiont style
and which represent tho Emporor and
Empress. On tho socond tier aro two
royal guards and throo court ladios;
ono of those is standing, whilo tho
other two aro sitting. Thoono stand¬
ing holds in hor hand a small tablo on
which is a oeromonial wino cup. Sit¬
ting on tho next tior aro five dolls
dressed as boy musioians in fino court
costume, ono singing, ono playing tho
flute, ono tho drum and tho othor two
tho largo and small tauzumi (a kind
of drum). After theso on tho next
and remaining tiers may be seen many
dolls, somotimos over 100, all drossod
very finoly, representing somo histori¬
cal or mythical character rolating to
womon.
Beside the dolls, thcro will bo vari¬
ous kinds of doll’s ornaments, furni¬
ture and decorations, such as tablo
sets, buroau boxes and many kitchon
utensils, of small sizo, corresponding
to tho bight of tho dolls. Theso orna¬
ments aro all mado of finest lacquer
and are very expensive, sometimes
costing all tho way from 810,000 to
$20,000. Of course, only tho wealth¬
ier families can afford so much.
Tho dolls aro from two inchos to a
foot and a half in bight, and aro also
quito expensive. Peoplo pay as high
as $50 to $100 for a pair of them.
These dolls aro made by professionals
and are of VQry fino workmanship.
Thoir salo bogins somotimos in Febru¬
ary, and tho markot where they aro
sold presents a vory busy appearnneo.
When everything is in readiness,
the young ladies send out invitations
to thoir relatives and gentlemen
friends to como and visit thoir dolls.
This is tho only opportunity during
the yoar for young people of both
soxos to mingle in a friendly way, and
they aro not slow iu taking advantage
of it. Tho gontlomon send presents
to tho young ladies on rocoipt of the
invitations, consisting of dolls, orna
monts or a kind of cake usod as an or¬
nament. All those presents must have ;
poach flowers in them. On the foast
day tho next room to thoono in which
tho dolls aro is arranged as a banquet i
room. This is artistically decorated
with peach' and cherry blossoms and ;
other flowers of tho season. In it is all i
the furniture belonging to the young 1
ladies, and also tho gifts sent by the
young men.
On tho arrival of the guests they
are welcomed by tho young ladies,
who aro dressed in their gayost attire
of tho color of peach blossoms, and
who wear peach blossoms in their j
hair. After tho salutations arc over
tho guests aro led to the room where
tho dolls are arranged, and are shown
tho dolls by the young ladies. This
part of tho programme over, they are
escorted to the room where tho ban
quet is to bo held. The guests then
sit down at small individual tables,
and the feast begins. There is no re
gulsr menu, but rioe cake, out in tho
shape of a diamond, sweets and othor
dainties are offered to the gnosts. |
Usually there is a kind of liquor called
“Shiro-Bake” (a sweet liquor made
out of rice and resembling milk). All
the cakes and other things are painted
with figures representing peach blo3
so ms. After the banquet, which docs
not last very long, the company is en
tertained by musicians and dancers,
This banquet sometimes takes place at
noon, but more often in tho evening,
This is the only day of the year set
aside for tho mutual amusement of
young people, for there is always a
kind of restraint between tlio two
sexes. Howover, on this day the usual
customs are thrown aside, and the
sexes mingle together unrestrained by
stern parents.—Detroit Free Press.

Fur of tho Weasel Family.
Tho fur of tho woasod family is iu
great demand by tho dealers bccauso
of its beauty and adaptability in many
classes of wearing apparel. What is
known as ermine is produced by a
little animal called tho stoat in Eng¬
land. In winter ho changes his rod
dish i brown skin to a white ono.
Savago and bloodthirsty is this littlo
crcnturo, proying upon everything
that ho can overpower, His chiof
food consists of partridgos and rabbits,
but many othor small animals are dis¬
posed of in tho samo way. Tho pino
marten, a member of the weasel tribe,
has a brown skin and yellow throat.
Stone martens havo a bluish brown
coat with white throat, Thoy aro
larger than tho stoat and moro de¬
structive. Tho other is tho king of
weasels. He can whip anything of
his weight in tho world. Ho is hunted
with hounds in England, and can give
six or seven dogs all they can do to
kill him. Liko tho mink, ho is very
fond of fish and water fowl.
All of tho woascl family are vory
fierce and strong for their sizo. Tho
skunk, with his black and white coat;
tho badger, with his beautiful silvor
gray fur and black dashes, and tho

I’aper Horseshoes.
A praetienl invention by a veteri¬
nary surgeon is now successfully ap¬
iiorsoshoos plied at Berlin. Ho manufactures
of paper impregnated with
oil or turpentine to mako it water¬
proof. After being saturated it is
glued together in thin layers with a
cement which docs not become brittle
when drying, and contains a mixture
of Venetian turpentine, powdered
chalk, linseod oil and lacquer. These
horseshoes are made iu various thick¬
nesses. Tho holes admitting tho nails
by which tlio shoo is fastened to the
hoof are stamped through the paper
when moist; it is thon subjected to a
vory strong pressure, under a hydrau¬
lic press, and when dry can bo filed
and planed to fit tho hoof snugly.
The inventor has also attempted to
rnnko these horseshoos of paper pulp,
adding chalk, sand, turpentine and
linseed oil in such quantities that tho
material is impermeable to moisture.
Tliis composition possesses tho neces¬
sary elasticity and toughness for the
purpose; it can bo pressed into molds
arid dried afterward, or cut out of
blocks of tho mass and placod under
strong pressure. The shoos mado by
pasting together paper sheets aro pre¬
ferable, os'they arc stronger than those
mado of tho compressed material.
These shoes can be fastened to the
horse’s hoof either by nails, as usual,
or bo cemented with glue consisting of
gum of ammonia, ono part, and gutta¬
percha, two parts. Tho great ad¬
vantage claimed by the inventor for
tho new shoo is the impossibility of
the horse slipping ou slippery roads.
