Buttermilk a Life Saver.
A French medical man advises
people to drink buttermilk for long
fife. He says that the lactic acid
dissolves every sort of earthy depos
it in the blood vessels, keeping the
veins and arteries so supple and free
running that there can be no clog
ging up, and hence there is no de
posit of chalky matter around the
joints or of poisonous waste in the
muscles. It is the stiffening and
hardening of the blood vessels
which bring on old age. Butter
milk is likely to postpone it ten or
twenty years if freely drunk. A
quart a day should be the mini
mum, the maximum according to
taste and opportunity.
The Disturbing Telephone.
'The telephone has destroyed all
the privacy of society,” said the so
ciety girl. “It breaks in on every
thing. Nothing is sacred to it. You
may be saying your prayers. The
telephone. Or in the midst of your
bath. The telephone. Or doing up
your back hair or, worse of all, a
delightful man may be making love
to you, when k-ling, k-ling, k-ling!
The telephone breaks off the thread
of his theme and he fails to resume
it.”—New York Press.

“I want them thrown away, of
course,” replied Mrs. Gunson.

Hard on the Lips.
The cornet player contented himself
with lemon for his oysters.
“I’d love a little horseradish as well,”
he said. “I’m passionately fond of
horseradish. But I, in common with
all horn blowers, must not touch the
appetizing root.
“Why not? Because horseradish
somehow' or other has the effect of
weakening the lip muscles. 1 don't
know why. I only know the fact. A
horn blow'er can’t cat horseradish and
blow his horn, and you'll never find a
horn blower eating it.”

WATERMARKS.
They Are Stamped In the Paper by
Patterns of Wire.
The discovery of the watermark
was the result of an accident, prob
ably a thousand years ago. Parch
ment was then made of vegetable
pulp, which was poured in a liquid
state into a sieve. The water drip
ped out from below, and the thin
layer of pulp that remained was
pressed and dried. When dry it
was found to bear upon it the
marks of the fiber that composed
the bottom of the sieve.
These fibers seem to have been
twisted reeds, and the mark they
left on the parchment took the
form of wide lines running across
and across diagonally. In those
days the watermark was regarded
as a blemish since the fiber was
thick and coarse and the deep im
pression made on the paper proved
a drawback in writing.
The quill of the scribe found
many a yawning gap to cross on
the surface of the manuscript—
“switchback scripture” it has been
termed. But when wire was sub
stituted for fiber in the sieve, says
a writer in the Denver Republican,
the lines of the ivatermark grew
thinner and less conspicuous.
The possibilities of the useful
ness of the watermark became ap
parent by degrees. It was first
found to be of service in preventing
the forgery of books and manu
scripts. Many a bogus copy of a
rare work has been detected be
cause the counterfeiter failed to
take into account the watermarks
of the original.
The watermark of many a pre
cious manuscript in the world’s mu
seums is alike its glory and its
safeguard. And in the sphere of
bank notes and paper money every
where the watermark is most use
ful in protecting the notes from
imitation.
The term “watermark” is in re
ality a misnomer since the mark
is actually produced by wire. Wire
is fashioned into the desired pat
tern, figure or lettering. This is
inserted beneath the sheet in the
last stages of its manufacture and
while the paper is still capable of
receiving the impression, and the
wire device stamps itself into the
sheet.
Ordinary note paper held up to
the light reveals hundreds of par
allel lines running up and down,
betraying the fact that the paper
was made on a wire foundation.
To this the paper owes its smooth
ness and its even texture.

The Welsh Note.
Here is what the Rev. John
Evans tells ns in reference to the
way in which English was taught
in \Vales in the eighteenth century:
“This school had several features
unknown in tire Welsh school of to
day. The Welsh note was one in
dispensable feature. This secured
English conversation. It was a
smooth piece of wood, like a flat
inch rule, with the letters ‘W. N.’
carved on it. When any one was
caught speaking Welsh the Welsh
note was immediately handed to
him, but the hand which held it at
the end of the lesson was the one
made to tingle in consequence, so
it was a common occurrence for the
child who had it to move about
from pew to pew, craftily tempting
others to speak Welsh. This sign
of guilt therefore often changed
hands until at last it rested in that
which had to bear the burden of all
the transgressions of that law.”
“Might 1 ask who lives here?”’ asked
a man of a stranger he met In front!
of a handsome mansion.
“Certainly, sir,” politely replied the
stranger.
“Who Is It, sir?”
“I am sure I don’t know,” replied the
stranger.

Women Suffer Agonies
from Diseased Kidneys
And Most Women Do This Not Knowing the
Real Cause of their Condition
These poor, suffering women
have been led to believe that their
misery of mind and body is entire
ly due to “ills of their sex.” Usually
the kidneys and bladder are re
sponsible—or largely so. And in
such cases, the kidneys and blad
der are the organs, that need and
must have attention.
Those torturing, enervating sick
headaches, dragging pains in back,
groin and limbs, bloating and swell
ing of the extremities, extreme
nervousness or hysteria, listless
ness and constant tired, worn-out
feeling—are almost certain symp
toms of disordered and diseased
kidneys, bladder and liver.
