MACHINE-MADE.
Our mother* used to spin the Max
Our father* used to raise,
And make the ffarmenl* that they wore
For work and holiday*.
The spinning-wheel in dusty now,
Nor half so stout, 1 ween,
Are coats and vests and breeches since
We make ’em by machine.
The Ijftttons don’t stay on so long;
The seams are insecure,
An<l nothing seems so stanch as when
The work was "slow and sure.”
Our stories even, and our songs,
Die swiftly and serene;
They seem to lack endurance when
We make ’em by machine.
Our statesmen, too -we scarce'expect
That they will proudly grow
In public estimation like
Trie men of long ago
Although we’re hoping for the best,
With appreciation keen,
We look them o’er and recollect
Wo made 'em by machine.
Study in Female Feet.
I/Oixlon Kxpro..
Tho now instep Hklrt is a boon to
women, but it rnvnalH tho tact Unit
women uni hud walkers. A surpris
ing numbor urn pigeon ■ toad. They
treuil on l lm Hide of Ibo foot, or run
down llui huein of their hIiooh, which
gives n most ungraceful appearance
to the feet.
A physical culture expert discussed
thin allegation with a reproaentatlve
of the Kxpreaa.
“It If, true," ho aaid, “that women
who are otherwise pretty and grace
ful, exhibit in walking a remarkable
amount of clumninoHa. Watch a wo
man going upstair, at a railway sta
tion. In nine cases out of ten she will
plod laboriously up; her feet will
come down at either side of f ile stair,
and her tons will ho turned in. Half
the fntiguo would bo uvoided If she
would work the foot from the ankle
and net each foot truly next to the
other, with heels touching for the In-
slant they are together.
“Jo sitting, oldo, women aro guilty
-of a number of sins of awkwardness.
The stout woman, for example, Inva
riably sits squarely, with feet planted
about twelve Inches apart Imd her
toes turned In.
“The lean, long-logged woman, on
the other hand, winds her feet round
tho IngH of tho chair, or else crosHus
the legs and thrusts tier fed out in
front of hor.
“Now, tho stout woman should
‘poise’ herself and sit very erect. The
lean woman should cboone the highest
possible seat, and plant her feet firm
ly on the ground, thus reducing her
excessive niigulHrlly.
“The Hinall woman also does some
peculiar things. Hho either s)ts with
her small feet dangling In a helpless
way, or porches herself on the edge
of a high sout with the toe of one foot
touching the ground and the other
foot hooked uround the ankle of the
llrst. Instead of aggravating the
smallness of her stature, she should
choose the lowest ohuir In the room,
and sink gracefully Into It.
“But the greatest offender agnlnst
this physical nrt is the mannish girl.
Her very attempt to assuine man’s
ease and froodom Is the cause of her
downfall; her oxnsperuted attitudes,
ludoed, become absurd mimicry.
“Yes,” said the expert In conclu
sion, “woni.ii are bud sitters and
walkers. They forget Hie following
primary rule: Whenever the feet are
on the ground at the same time they
should be placed as closely ns possible
together, heels touching, toes slight
ly turned out.”

The Deceiver.
Nevada (Mo.) Port
Deceit otten undermines the fabric
of the home; and it also sometimes
disconnects a man from a good horse
and leaves a jaded, wind-broken,
stump-sucking steed Id its stead.
Decolt is practiced almost exclusive
ly by men Bnd mules. Men are ex
tremely deceitful, and occasionally a
woman is found who Is handy at pall
ing the hair over your eyes, while a
mule will maintain a sleepy, docile ut-
titude for months and months for the
blessod privilege of kicking Its driver
Into the next township.
The ’possnm Is very deceitful ex
cept when parboiled, baked brown,
and surrounded by sweet potatoes.
People say that a girl says "no”
when she means “yes,” but married
men have not found It that way.
Some men are so deceitful that they
lie to their wives, lie to their offspring,
Ho to their editor, lie to the preacher,
nnd even lie to the candidate after
they have the hog-faced dollar in the
opertuse of their trousers.
Thorn are men In Missouri who are
so deceitful that they try to deceive
themselves. They reason that a dull
headache and the dark brown taste is
simply h pleasant specimen of Inno
cent enjoyment. Such men, If they
are ever fortunate enough to get in
balling distance of the pearly gates,
will try to palm themselves off on St.
Peter ns class-leaders.
If there is anything that brings
more woe nnd misery Into the world
than deception, Noah Webster has
overlooked it in bis Unabridged. Yet
we go right along deceiving our wives,
our neighbors and their wives, our
selves nnd our posterity, and If it was
possible we would palm off a decep
lion on the God who made us and will
save us.
Deoeptlon Is the rat-trap that
catches the entire human family, and
then tarns right around and pats a
nice piece of fresh cheese on the trig
ger lu HD effort to catch the man who
made the trap.
Beware of the base deceiver, and
be careful that you don’t atumble and
fall over yourself.
A Liberal Offer.
The undersigned will give a free sam
ple of Chamberlain's Stimuli:h and Liv-

Time to Hedge.
New York 1’rosH.
Several turfmen were discussing
the sharp methods of a certain book
maker who adds to his income by
money-lending. He was couceded to
he n hard man to deal with.
“But I’ll bet $600 that I can borrow
$1,000 from him on my personal re
cognisance,” said one.
“Done!” answered the crowd si
multaneously, and as he could ouly
stake one bet they pooled against
him. Thinking he had a sure thing,
he went off with an accompanying
committee to see the money-lender.
“Mr. Gash,” (that wasn’t hla name)
he said, “these gentlemen Igtve bet
me $600 that I cannot borrow $1,000
from you. I doi.’t ueed the money,
hut you let me have It for a day, and
I'll divide the bet with you."
The committee gasped, but the ef
fect of the cool proposition was un-
looked for. Iuatead of jumping at the
chance Mr, Gash button-holed the in
terlocutor and said:
“Did you make that bet?”
“I did."
“You bet $600 that you could bor
row money from me?”
“That’s what I did.”
“Then,” In a whisper, “go and
hedge.”

— A preacher, at the conclusion of
one of his sermons, said: “Let all iu
the house who are paying their debts
eland up." Instantly every man, wo
man and child, with one exception,
rose to their feet. Tho preacher seat-
od them, and said: “Now, every man
not paying hie debts stand up.” The
exception noted—a care-worn, bun-
gry-looking individual, clothed iu his
last winter’s suit—slowly assumed a
perpendicular position. “IIow is it,
my friend," asked the minister, “that
you are the only man not to meet hie
obligations?” “I rim a newspaper,”
he uioi kly ■ nswered, “and the breth
ren hero who just stood up art my
subscribers, and ” “I.et us
pray,” exclaimed the minister.
Queered Anti-Worry Cure.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
“I see a German physician bas in
vented an infallible enre for worry,"
he observed, looking up from bis pa
per.
“Umph! Good thing,” said abe div
ing down Into the work-basket for
another holey stocking to darn. “Be
yond the means of most women, I
suppose?”
“Not at all. It’s a very simple rem
edy. All you women ought to try It.
It consists simply—let me Bee—Iu
‘loosening the garments and lying
down In sd attitude of complete re
pose. The patient will find that her
Ilia will roll from her mind like mag
ic.’ There!” he finished triumphant
ly. “That’s easy enough, isn’t It?”
She laughed shortly.
“Yes, it Is,” she said, eyeing the
big rents In a very little stocking.
“It Bounds beautifully easy. The next
time the children sre down with the
scarlet fever or diphtheria, or when
they need new clothes and can’t have
them because there Isn’t money
enough, or when you get another
spell of pneumonia, or when you
bring somebody home to dinner and
there isn’t a decent thing in the honse,
or when the doctor sends In a bill
about three times as big as we can
pay, I’ll just run upstairs and put on
a kimono—or, as I.haven’t a kimono,
would a calico wrapper answer, I
wonder?—and curl up on the bed.
And, of course, the children would
get well right away, and the money
would flow ini It’s roally a wonderful
Invention. I’ll try it.”
He coughed, shifted bis paper and
rend diligently elsewhere while she
smoothed out the wee stocking, picked
up Us mate, looked at It dubiously,
and began to draw its jagged rents
together.

The Good that Comes from a Yawn
Medicnl Talk.
A good, wide, open-mouthed yawn
is a splendid thing for the whole body.
A yawn is nature’s demand for rest.
Some people think they only yawn
because they are sleepy. Bnt this is
not so. Yon yawn because yon are
tired. You may be sleepy also, hot
that is not the real cause of your
yawning. You are sleepy because yoa
are tired, and yon yawn because you
are tired.
Whenever yon feel like yawning,
Just yawn. Don’t try to suppress it,
because you think it is Impolite to
yawn. Put your hand over your
mouth if you waDt to, but let the
yawn borne. And it you are wbare
you can stretch at the same time that
you yawn, just stretch and yawu.
This is nature’s way of stretching and
relaxing the ipusclea.
Don’t be afraid to open yoar month
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like it. Indeed, if you are
very tired, but do not feel like yawu-
ing, there is nothing that will rest you
so quickly as to sit on a straight back
chair and, lifting the feet from the
floor, push them out In front of yon
as far hb possible, atretcb tbe arms,
put the head back, open the month
wide and make yourself yawn.
Those tense nerves will relax, the
contracted muscles will stretch, and
tbe whole body will be rested. Do
this two or three times when you are
tired and see what It will do for you.

Official statistics printed in Havara
show that in PJ02 the- death-rate
was 21.99 per thousand, a far lowtr
rate than in the days of Gen. Weyler.
The methods of sanitation enforced
by tbe Americans after tbe Spanish
war worked wonders for the health-
fulness of tbe city. Oot of 5,832
deaths, 885 were due to tuberculosis
in its various forms. Even in so
mild a climate as that of the Cuban
capital this grievous affliction is amaz
ingly destructive. Cancer claimed
179 lives. Could tuberculosis and
cancer ho extirpated, the whole
world might set apart a jubilee year.

She Flirted After All.
New York Proas.
When the stunning looking girl with
the big plcturn hat entered the most
crowded cRr in the elevated train she
had no difficulty in getting a seat.
Simpkins gave up his. Then he edged
away a lb% feet to get a better look
at her. She was worth gazing at.
Bbe had uu air about her, aud her
complexion, heightened by the tonic
ef tbe crisp December air, gavel her
cheeks a glow that defies Imitation by
cosmetics.
She looked at Simpkins. Simpkins
thought she smiled. So Simpkins
smiled hack. There must have been
a mistake, for Bbe gave him a haughty
stare and turned away. Evidently
she wouldn’t flirt. But Simpkins kept
bis eye on her. He couldn’t help it.
Suddenly he saw her smiling again.
It was a real smile this time, but It
wbb at some one across the aisle. It
wasn’t just a smile of recognition, to
lea\e tbe features an instant later as
blank as they were before. She kept
It up. She was flirtiDg. Simpkins
felt a jealous pang. He was tempted
to swear—to condemn feminine taBte
in general.
The girl kept on smiling. She just
lavished smiles on tbe one across .the
aisle.
At last Simpkins could Btand It no
longer. He just simply bad to get a
look at his victorious rival. He fol
lowed tbe slant of the girl’s eyes,
peeked over tbe shoulder of a fat
man, and saw smiling back at tbe
pretty girl with positive crows of de
light—a rosy-cheeked batyt
Then Simpkins swore again.

One Minute Cough Cure gives immerfi-
ate relief in all cases of Cough, Croup
and LaGrippe because it does not pus-
immediately into the 'stomach, but
takes effect right at tbe s-at of the

heals and roothee and cures i>eiraa-
nently by enabling tbe lungs to con
tribute pure life-giving and hfe-suetain-

Newspaper advertising costs you
too much when you try it to-day and

cost you too much if yon hired them
