WASHING DISHES.
Only On* Timo In a Woman's Life
When She Enjoy* It.
We never knew but oue woman who
professed that she liked to wash dish
es, and from that moment our faith In
her veracity melted like soap In hot
dishwater.
The ouly time we wish we wero a
man Is after a hearty dinner, when he
: can enjoy a siesta or discuss the pa
pers, while we must atteud to the In
evitable dishes.
Can auy oue wonder that girls get
tired of the monotonous round of dish
washlug. which must be done three
times a day for the 305 cousecutlv?
days?
Think of It. ye gods, aud tear your
hair and weep for the woes of our sis
terhood!
There Is a short time In most every
woman's life when It Is n pleasure, but
that Is when we are too small to reach
upon the kitchen table without a chair
aud are permitted to wash the cups
and saucers to keep us out of mischief.
When we are older and have It to do
alone the soup tureen would uot hold
the tears we shed over It
How we have dreamed over the bluo
pictures ou the old fashioned dishes
pictures of Impossible temples and cas
tles. built lu unhealthy proximity to
"clear lakes," and lu girlish fancy wan
dered to unheard of lands to dwell In
those "castles In the air."
There should bo no dishwashing
there.
But hark! The shrill voice of our
mother rings out clear and sharp:
"Matilda, what are you doing?" with
rising Inflection on tho last syllabic of
our name.
All the house knows that "Till" Is
dreaming over the dlshpan again, and
reverie Is not permitted In our active
household, which was conducted ou
tho "whoop her up" system.
When we see ladles going mad over
ceramics we wonder if they served
their apprenticeship polishing tablefuls
of china.? New York Weekly.
A DREAM CAT.
Repeated Appearance Premonitory of
Disease.
"Some years ago, early In the sum
mer," oiys II. Addlngton Bruce iu
Success Magazine. "1 dreamed that
while out taking a walk I was sud
denly attacked by a huge cat, which
clawed ferociously at my throat. That
was all there was to the dream, or. at
any rate, that was all 1 remembered on
awakening In the morning, and, natu
rally enough, 1 dismissed It from my
mind as nothing but a dream.
"But when 1 found myself dreaming
the same dream again and again I be
gan to wonder what slgnltlcance It
would possibly have. Usually It varied
greatly In minor detail. Always, how
ever, the climax was the same? the
cat had me by the throat aud was bit
ing and scratching viciously. Alto
gether 1 dreamed this dream not less
than a score of times In six months.
"Shortly before Christmas I took a
cold, which settled in my throat, af
fecting it so badly as to require the
attention of a specialist. Much to my
astonishment. It was then discovered
that a growth hud been developing for
Borne time aud that au Immediate oper
ation was necessary.
"Several 'weeks later, the operatiou
having been performed successfully, It
suddenly occurred to me that 1 was no
longer being troubled by the phantom
cat. For the first time the meaning of
the singular dream dawued upou me.
"It had been a genuine premonitory
dream. Consciously 1 bad been in ut
ter Ignorance of the dangerous growth
lu my throat. It had not progressed
far enough to give me any pain or even
to cause discomfort. At the same time
the organic changes It involved bad
produced sensations plainly felt by
j what psychologists call the- subcon
scious and manifesting through the
subconscious to the conscious In the
form of a symbolic dream."
No Port In a Storm.
The most dangerous of all placcs
when a thunderstorm rages Is proba
bly a powder house; consequently It is
a rule In explosive works that all the
j workers shall leave their "house" at
tne approach of a thunderstorm. So
far all Is well. But very often when
the thunderstorm has passed and the
men return and open the cake presses
severe explosions have occurred. The
reason of these accldeuts Is that In the
process of manufacture black powder
is placed In the cake presses in alter
nate lasers of powder and ebonite.
This acts as an electric pile. Just like
the pile of coppers aud disks of zluc
with which boys amuse themselves.
When the pile Is disturbed the elec

How a Moose Eats.
Of all peculiar sights 1 think that
that of a moose eating grass is the
most extraordinary. The neck is so
short aud the legs are so long that the
animal usually kneels in eating grass.
True, it does not attempt it very of
ten. for grass Is by no means a staple
with It. but even a moose likes a
change of diet. The appearance of
this huge and awkward creature in
this devotional attitude Is uot only in
teresting, but laughable.? St. Nicholas.

HT U OWES FINE
ID OF HAIR
TO CUTICURA
Itching, Scaling Scalp Humor was
Making It All Fall Out? Two Doc
tors Could Not Stop the Trouble
?Niece Advised Using Cuticura,
CURED HER SCALP AND
MADE HAIR GROW AGAIN
"My mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for It I had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spito of what they both did. One
day her nieco camo in to eeo her and
they wero speaking of how her hair was
falling out and tho doctors did it no
good. She savs, 'Aunt, why don't you
try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her, so sho soon l>cean bathing with tho
Cuticura Soap and anointing with tho
Cuticura Ointment, and in six months'
time the itching, burning and scaling
of her head was over and hor hair began
growing. To-day sho feols very much
in debt to Cuticura Soap and Ointment
for tho flno head cf hair sho has for
an old lady seventy-four years old.
"In regard to my own case, mine was
an eczema something like hers. It was in
my feet. As soon its the cold weather
came my feet would itch and bum and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then I thought I would fleo to ray
mother's friends, Cuticura Soap and Cuti
cura Ointment. I. did for four or flvo
winters and now my foot are as smooth
asany one's. Ellsworth Dunham, Hiram,
Me., Sept. 30,
What Barnuni Said of Cuticura.
P. T. Barnum, tho famous circus man,
once wrote: " I have had the Cuticura
Remedies among tho contents of my
medicine chest .with my bhowB for the
last three seasons, and I can cheerfully
certify that they were very effective in
every case which called for their u?e."

Intellectual Achievement* Born of
Vitioni In Sleep.
It Is well known, says H. AddlDgton
Bruce In Success Magazine, that
dreams have stimulated men to re
markable intellectual achievements
and have even supplied the material
for these achievements. Thus Cole
ridge composed "Kublal Khan" In a
dream. Tartlnl got his "Devil's So
nata" from a dream In which the devil
appeared and challenged him to a mu
sical competition. It was a dream that
gave Voltaire the first canto of his
"Henriade." and Dante's "DIvIna Com
mcdia" Is likewise said to havo been
inspired by a dream.
Many novelists on their own admis
sion have obtained the plots for some
of their best works from materials
provided In dreams. A particularly
Impressive instance Is that of Robert j
Louis Stevenson, whose "Chapter on
Dreams" In his book "Across the
Plains" should be read by all who
would learn what dreams can do for a
man Intellectually. The solution of
baffling mathematical problems, tho
Ideas necessary to complete some In
vention, have been supplied by dreams.
Occasionally the dreamer has been
known to rise In his sleep and Jot
down the information thus acquired.
in such cases he usually forgets all
about the helpful dream and on awak
ing Is greatly surprised at finding tho
record he has made of It, which shows
that? as with the visions so potently
Influencing health? It Is possible for
dreams to aid a man in an Intellectual
way without his being consciously
aware of them.

DREAM INSPIRATION,
MOORISH SOLDIERS.
Theii Methods In Bottle and Their
System of Signals.
At fighting on horseback the Moors
are adepts and extremely mobile. But
they are incorrlglblj lazy and seldom
Indulge lu night attack. Wben (bey
attack iu force tbe horsemen usually
give a lift to the foot soldiers who ac
company them or allow them to run
alongside and hold on to a stirrup iron.
Tbe mount<-d men then make a charge,
wheel round aud retire aud make way
for The footmen, who crawl along the
ground, almost Invisible, and who rise
to tbe attack if they come within strik
ing distance of the euemy. As a rule,
the Klllinns prefer to luro detached
parties Into an ambush or detlle and
thus lntllct heavy loss upou them. Tbe
mounted mcu seldom dismount to Ore,
and their firing, being from the sad
dle, Is very Inaccurate. Should the ad
vance of the white troops bo slow or
hesitating the Moors effect n bold
combination between horsemen and
footmen and generally succeed iu in
flicting heavy losses on their euemy.
Tbe prime tactics of tbe Moors are to
delay the advance of nn enemy as
much ns possible by mouutcd rifle fire
until they can discern Its extent and
direction and subsequently to try en
veloping the advauclng force. The
tribes also Indulge In sniping, but uot
to n very groat extent, and they also
fight Individually. They do not neglect
opportunities for stratagem and can
effect some very clever ruses. They
are also guilty of abusing the services
of the white flag lu action.
The Moorish Intelligence system Is
an excellent one. nnd the tribes are
seldom without Information regarding
the movements of nn enemy. They
have also an excellent system of sig
naling at night by means of smnll fires
dotted about the hills and ravines,
whl.-h are obscured and revealed In
accordance with nn Inge ) otis code of
signals known to theuisei' . s.? Chicago

After reading the public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you uiust come to tills conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept the kidneys in good
health since, can be relied upon to
perform the same work in other cas
es. Read this:
R. C. Fenton, 3905 N. Cheyenne St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "1 gave a state
mont for publication, telling of my ex
perlence with Doaus Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all I then said in their favor.
1 was afflicted with kiduey trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give uj> my work.
I had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
tho kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
have since had no return of kidney
complaint."
