Trying It on the Dob*
Lamson lives on the South Side. Car
ter, his arch enemy, lives next door.
Trouble has been brewing, and Lamson
was aching to give Carter a “piece of
his mind,” when he suddenly conceived
a brilliant idea.
He bought a cheap dog of question
able breed and named him Carter.
Whenever Mr. Carter was outside his
house, Lamson would let his dog out,
and standing on his doorstep he would
fire the following or similar soulful
talk at the canine:
“Carter, yon are a cnr. Your mother
had the mange. I am going to kick the
stuffin out of yon, you miserable thing.
If yon were not so hungry looking, I
would kill you. You ain’t even good
enough for sausage meat, yon lopsided,,
cheap, good for nothing,” etc.
The neighbors wonder why Hr. Car
ter does not have Mr. Lamson arrested,
but Mr. Carter has discovered the base
plot and will move next week.—Chica
go Journal.
His Annoying Problem.
“1 wonder,” she said, knitting her
brows in a perplexed way, “whether”—
And then she paused It was her first
experience in keeping house on an al
lowance, and naturally many problems
presented themselves.
“I wonder,” she repeated, “whether,
when woman comes into her proper
sphere and exercises her rightful influ
ence, if she legislates the first of every
month out of existence the bills will
come in the second day or will he en
tirely abolished. I think the plan would
be worth trying, anyway.”—Chicago

Didn’t Admire American Children.
An American lady in Berlin had oc
casion to talk to her hostess about
American children. “I have read of
them,” said the German woman proud
ly. “I have of them in English read. I
have two stories read that I might
know. I do not wish to go to America.
I have read ‘Peck’s Bad Boy’ and
‘Helen’s Babies.’ Achl I stay by the
German children sol”—New York

A Bamboo Bridge.
A British consular report from the
far east describes a suspension bridge
of 300 feet span made of bamboo. The
cane Is split up into fibers and twisted
together to form the cables. Consider
ing its span,, the materiaLof the struc
ture is quite remarkable. The old tradi
tion that almost anything can be made
out of bamboo receives here a good il
lustration in the field of engineering.
Teach the Children to Play.
“If mothers would take the time
they spend in telling their children
‘to run away,’ or ‘not to do that,* or
to ‘leave that alone,’ in showing their
children how to play and what to
play with, they would find the re
sults not only astonishing but grati
fying,” writes Edith Wheeler in the
April Ladies’ Home Journal. “Ten
minutes’ instruction in a new play j
or occupation would mean hours of
quiet and happy pleasure for thej
children and rest and freedom for'
the mother. Play is the child’s
work, and he should early be shown
to make the best use of it. More
grows out of play than we are apt
to realize. If the nursery.is untidy
the futurd mother’s house or father’s
office wjll be the same. If the play
is destructive and results in the mu
tilation of many toys, the little men
and women will be careless of beau
tiful books, pictures and bric-a-brac
in later yearn. Teach them how to
play properly and they will soon
how to work properly.”
Laziness and Success.
“Laziness,” said Mr. Chipperly,
“is one of our bessetting sins, and it
is qnite possible that we may be
very lazy even when we are fully oc
cupied. How many of us pitch in
for all we know how, when we work,
md how many of ns putter around
the edges and pick out the easy
things and use up the time of the
tough proposition that everybody’s
got.to tackle? That’s the question.
There are more forms of laziness
than one.”
Not only is procrastination the
thief of time,” said Mr Graytop; “it
is the underminer of resolution. By
putting off we not only lose time,
but we get into a spongy, no-ac
count, irresolute state, which may
become a part of our habit in life.
With this way of doing things we
may scrape along from day to day,
but that’s all. To succeed we must
get at it; and as getting at it is an
opening wedge to success in life, so
keeping at it is the beetle that drives
the wedge home.”
In the schools of Germany much
attention is being given to develop
ing left-handed facility among' the
school children. It is argued that
the greater development of the right
hand produces one-sided movements,
which,repeated constantly,have their
influence on the entire system, and
spoil the symmetry of the body. In
the mechanical departments of the
schools much of the work of the
boys is done by the left hand by
compulsion. The pupils are taught
-to saw, plane and hammer with the.
left hand as well as with the right,
and the importance of being able to
use both bands equally well in all
trades is impressed upon them. This
is in line with the practice in the
athletic departments of Swedish
schools of teaching the students to
fence with either arm.

Gloves of chicken skinwere in vogue

The statistical report of the New
York Chamber of Commerce for
1898 shows that the foreign trade
of that port during that year de
clined $39,255,756,as compared with
the year previous. Meantime the
foreign trade of the country at large
has increased. New York' is now
blaming her loss of trade to the rail
roads, which it is alleged discrimi
nate against her in favor of the
southern ports. It is very difficult
for New York to come to a realiza
tion of the fact that the time has
passed when she can virtually mo
nopolize the foreign trade of the
country; but she will have to come
to it. The southern ports Have ad
vantages over New York, and they
are pushing them.—Savannah News.
Veils do more to ruin the com
plexion than any other thing. The
skin needs the friction of the air.
Constant covering interfere^ with
the circulation and the healthy ac
tion of the pores. It heats the face
and keeps it covered with an oily
moisture which catches the dust and
dirt and gets into the pores. When
the face is left exposed to the air
the dust is blown off, the skin is
kept dry and clean. It also stimu
lates the circulation of the blood and
gives color to the cheeks.—April La

eight carloads on 20 acres, and early

WLat’l In a Same?
In an article on'Indian names Me.
Frank Terry comments on the odd effect
produced by giving rein to this fancy
for distinguished appellations in the re
naming of Indians. Often their native
names are unpronounceable and the
translations long and not in accordance
with onr ideas of what is pleasing. So,
instead of simply turning Bear-Sits-
Down or Mule-Kicks-Up or Jumping
Rabbit into English, the.Indian is re
named entirely, and is given the first
famous name that comes to'mind.
“William Penn, Fitz-Hugh Lee, Da
vid B. Hill and William Shakespeare,”
says Mr. Terry, “are policemen at the

Lizards Tint Grow Hew Eyes.
The tuatara lizard of New Zealand is
said to be one of the most ancient forms
of animal life now existing. It original
ly possessed four eyes, but now has to
be contented with but two. It lays eggs,
and these take no less than 13 months
to hatch out, the embryos passing the
winter in a state of hibernation.
Theso remarkable animals are found
only in one or two places in the colony,
and they are rapidly becoming scarce,
as collectors from every part of the
world are continually on their track.
They are about 18 inches in length, and,
like many of the lizards, are said to
ha*e the characteristic of being able to
replace portions of their limbs, etc.,
which have been destroyed. One owned
by Mr. Carl Hanser of Awanui had the
misfortune to lose an eye some time ago,
and now a complete new eye, as perfect
as the undamaged one, has grown in
the place of that lost.
While the eye was developing the
lizard seemed to be no more inconven
ienced than a human being is in the
growing cf finger nails or hair.

Priceless Pain
•• It a price can be placed on pain, ‘Mother’*
Friend’is worth its weight in gold as an allevi
ator. My wife suffered more in ten minutes with
either of her other two children than she did al

a customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Canni, I1L, to the Bradfield Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ga., the proprie
tors and manufacturers of “Mother’s
Friend.” This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines ad
vertised to do unreasonable things, hut a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman’s organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessens
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in a con
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.
