By Paracamph.
Mr E. L. Hawkins, 123 West 27th
St., New York City, Says:
“I have used Paracamph in a severe case
of Rheumatism, and will say that I got
immediate, relief. I have tried almost
e&ery preparation that is now before the
public, and find that Paracamph is with
out question the best remedy for Rheu
matism. I wish you success and heartily
recommed Paracamph ”
jMr Hawkins is only one out of many
thousands that have been cured by the
wonderful penetrating remedy Paracamph
This new remedy is a scientific prepara
tion which when applied, opens the pores
of the skin, allowing the soothing, cool
ing oils to penetrate to seat of the ailment,
removing the soreness and congestion,
drawing out the fever and inflammation
by inducing sweating. It sweats out the
pain and aches, and this is Nature’s plan,
Don’t ruin your stomach with strong
internal medicines for Rheumatism, Neu
ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. We guarantee
Paracamph to relieve and cure you if used
as directed. If it fails your druggist will
refund your money. If your druggist don’t
handle Paracamph ask him to get for you.
If he won’t do this send direct to us.
But don’t take any substitute because there
is nothing just as good. Paracamph is sold
only in 25 cent, 50 cent, and $1.00 bottles.
The 50 cent size contains three times as
much as the 25 cent size; the $1.00 bottles
eight times as much as the 25 cent size.

MILK AND HUMAN KINDNESS
The Yield of a Cow Mar Depend Mael
Ipon Her Preference for
the Milker.
On the strength of Information do
rived from the staff of the County Tech
nical college at Chelmsford, England, 1
was affirmed the other day that th<
amount of milk which a cow yields ma]
i depend very much on her preference foi
the persons with whom she has to deai
, saj s a London paper. Let her be milkec
by a favorite milker, then both quan
' tity and quality are all that can be d«
1 sired. On the other hand, If man 01
maid be in disfavor, the cow yields less
milk and of poorer quality. There ex
I lots a logical standard of quality—one
which demands that the milk shall eou
tain three per cent of fat and 8.5 pei
cent, of the solids, and many a time, 11
would seem, the farmer Is subjected U
vexatious prosecutions for no bettei
cause than that the cow does not like the
milker. Was the reason aesthetic oi
moral? If the former, then one could
understand a song once popular—
"Where are you going to, my pretty
maid?" “I’m going a-mllklng, sir, she
•aid.* And when the gay Lothario wh«
put the query became mercenary and
asked, "What Is your fortune, my pretty
maid?” he received for answer: "My
face Is my fortune, sir, she said.” If 11
were really the pretty milkmaid’s face
that pleased her cows It might Indeed
be a fortune. Alas! the explanation la
much simpler and less sentimental.
Mr. Dymond, F. I. C., and Mr. Bull, ol
the Essex Technical laboratories, made
a rigorous experiment on the farm ol
David Hodge, of Wldford Hall, near
cnaimsrord, taking rour cows, ana em
ploying four milkers, named respective
ly Mrs. K„ Fred, Joe and Jack—which
need not be taken as the actual names—
and scrupulously registering the re
sults. Omitting the other two, in whose
cases the differences were less marked,
a curve was made of the yields procured
by Fred and Jack, and it forms an almost
perfectly regular zigzag for each cow,
rising to the highest or falling to the
lowest precisely as it referred to one or
other of the milkers. Whereas the
favorite was honored with 18.46 pounds
of milk on one morning, his comrade on
the following day got only 15.17 pounds.
And this yield was uniform, but not
with all the animals. With cow No. 1 a
certain difference was shown, No. 2 was
much more capricious, No. 3 was compar
atively and No. 4 absolutely indifferent
In other words, the yield of milk de
pended on the temper of the cow and
apparently on the temper of the milker.
When the susceptible animal was
treated with any kind of harshness two
or three pounds were retained in the
udder, and it is precisely these last few
pounds to be drawn that are richest in
fat and solids. Hence the largest sup
plies were also the best in quality. If
the milking were always by the same
person the results would most probably
be fairly constant, but it is quite con
ceivable that an animal might actually
show diminished freedom of yield if
habitually treated roughly. There is
clearly a bovine psychology; there be
cows, like No. 2, highly susceptible to
gentle usage, and others, like No. 4, pos
sessing a philosophic Indifference to
Fred and Jack alike. Happy No. 4. It
is to the farmer’s Interest, as Mr. Dy
mond points out, to study these peculiar
ities of temperament. In these days even
cows have nerves.
FAMILY RECORD BIBLES.
They Are Still In Demand, Bat Nat
Said to tbe Same Extant na
Formerly.
“Do we still sell the old-fashioned Dam*
ily Bible, with pages in it for the record
at births, deaths and marriages! Oh,
yes,” said the bookseller, according to
a New York exchange, “but not so many
of them as we once did.
“There are more Bibles sold now, tak
ing them all together, than ever before*
and the Bible is issued now in an almost
endless variety of forms and styles;
jut the demand for it in this particular
torm is now, I should say, not more than
one-third what it onoe was.
“Still, we keep these record Bibles to
day in a aozen styles, ranging in priee
irom five dollars to |20. The blank rec
ord pages, these often illuminated, are
! bound in between the two Testaments
“In some of these Bibles there is a
blank presentation page upon which
may be written the name of the person
to whom the Bible is presented, with
the name of the giver; and in some of
chein is contained a blank marriage cer
tificate; and in some there are bound in
with the pages for the record of births,
deaths and marriages, pages tor the rec
ord of temperance pledges.
“These Bibles are more likely to be
bought nowadays by county people, and
it might be by people of the German race
and by Irish Protestants; ail likely to be
substantial people of comfortable
means; conservative people who cling
I 3till to time-honored customs.
‘ So, while the old-time family record
! Bible,’ with pages for the record of
births, deaths and marriage*, has gone
: somewhat out of fashion, and is not sold
| to the extent to which it once was, yet
1 it is still sold, and the demand for it is
1 still considerable." __

CLOVES FROM RAT SKINS.
1 Only One Pair Was Ever Made and
That Was Very Small—Inter
esting Glove Lore.
A report comes from Copenha
: gen that a great rat hunt has been
1 organized there, and that the
' | skins of many thousands of the
victims are to be used in making
gloves. If the rat hunters in the
Danish capital cherish any such
hopes, says the Pall Mall Gazette,
, they are doomed to disappoint
ment.
Rat skins cannot be made into
gloves lit for commerce. The be
lief that a valuable raw material
is being neglected here survives
only in the minds of the inexpert.
The glove maker knows much
better. A Norwegian merchant
once came to England and in
formed a well known glove maker
that he had collected over 100,000
rat skins and was prepared to re
ceive offers for them. He was
fully convinced that the skins
were suitable for glove making.
But the manufacturer found that
the largest skin was only some
six inches long, and he held up a
kid skin for the smallest size of
glove, a child’s, which was eight
inches long, and asked how he was
to cut such a glove out of a rat
DAiUl
Then he took up the smallest
kid skin for a lady’s glove, 11 inch
es long, and when he asked how
that was to be cut out of rat skin
the Norwegian merchant laughed
at the idea <and went away disap
pointed. The best offer he got
for those skins, which he had col
lected with so much care, was five
shillings a hundredweight from a
man who was willing to boil them
down for glue.
A famous glove making firm has
a collection of curiosities relating
to the trade, and one of them is
the largest pair of gloves ever
made out of a rat' skin. The be
lief that such skins could be made
into gloves was laid before the
managers so confidently that they
resolved to put it to the trial, and
they ordered a number of skins of
the largest rats which could be
found in Grimsby. But the rat is
a fighting animal, and bears the
marks of many battles on his
body, and it was found that the
! skins were so scarred and torn
that it was with the utmost diffi
culty that perfect pieces large
enough for the purpose could be
obtained. In the end, after ten
skins had been used, a pair of
gloves was cut and made, and
they are retained in the collection
to this day. But they are so small
that they would only fit the small
est of small boys. Thus it was
shown that, however cheaply rat
skins might be obtained, they
would offer no advantage to the
glove maker. The rabbit skin is
equally useless for the purpose,
and humane people may also dis
miss from their minds the fear
that the skins of pet dogs are
made into gloves. The dog skin
glove of which we used to hear is
made of nothing but the skin of
the Cape goat.
Cuban Cave-Fishes.
An interesting addition has re
cently been made to the Natural
History museum, South Kensing
ton, London, by the receipt of
specimens of some of the blind
cave-fishes of Cuba. The special
interest of these fishes lies in the
fact that their alliance is with
salt-water forms which exist in
the neighboring sea, and not with
fresh water fishes, as is the case
with Amblyopsis and its allies of
the great cave of Kentucky.
There can be little doubt that thp
Cuban caves in which the blind
fishes are found were formerly in
communication with the sea, and
that the ancestors of these fishes
entered the caves from the adja
cent ocean.
Children Labeled for Traveling.
The practice of labeling chil
dren and sending them across the
Atlantic, addressed as parcels,
! would appear to be getting rather
general. A number of children so
labeled have passed through
Queenstown from time to time
lately. From the Dominion liner
New England, which has arrived
there from Boston, was landed a !
little boy not quite nine years old.
He was addressed to his uncle at
Kilkenny. He had traveled from
Chicago unaccompanied, and had
been transferred just as a parcel
! would be by the various forward
| ing companies through whose
I hands he passed.
MARRIAGE REFORMS
I
Advocated by University Professoi
in Book Recently Issued.
Plan* Include State Supervision of All
Contrncte nnd Liberal Dlvoree
Laws—Evtla in the Social
Structure.
State supervision of all marriage
contracts, uniform and liberal divorce
laws, the abolition of the common law
marriage and the education of tht
young In sex problems are a faw of the
reforms advocated in a new boob
about to be issued at the University
of Chicago.
The work, In three large volumes,
represents 12 years' research work on
Ihe part of Dr. George Elliot Howard
former head of the department of his
tory at the University of Nebraska,
and until recently occupying a similar
post at Leland Stanford, Jr., univer
sity. Prof. Howard Is the most recent
addition to the staff of the lecture
division of the University of Chicago.
| “Our present dual system by which
marriages may be solemnized by elth
er civil officers or clergymen, ts not
the Ideal plan,” says Prof. Howard.
i "It Is too complex and Is an obstacle
In the way of the development of an
effective system of matrimonial legis
lation. It Is awkward and thoroughly
Illogical to intrust the execution of the
laws to two classes of persons; one
civil officers created by the state, the
other completely beyond such control.
The license system is also uncertain
and complex In many of Its features.
| “Radical reform In the administra
tion of matrimonial legislation Is s
task for future legislators. Every
county should be divided into districts,
for each of which a registrar should
| be appointed to license, solemnise and
register all marriages civilly contract
ed therein and to license, register and
attend all religious celebrations of
marriage.
"The lawmaker cannot reach the
root of the divorce evil. It is planted
deeply In the social structure and Is
In a great measure due to false senti
ment regarding marriage and the fam
ily, a sentiment which can only be
removed by more rational education.
Carefully drawn and uniform statutes
can, however, render conditions favor
able for tbe operation of this needed
social reform. We need new education
In the problems of sex and this in
struction should be given to the
young, not prudishly, but frankly, and
perhaps while the child is still In high
school.
"The fact that four of our states—
New York, Utah, California and Mis
sissippi—have liberated themselves
by statutory enactments from the
common law marriage within the past
ten years Is of vast social Import and
from It reformers may take courage.
In such legislation lies our hope of be
ing able to free America from the
evils of the common law marriage.
"The trouble in a nutshell is that
there is less care exercised in the mat
ing of human beings than there is in
the breeding of fat stock. By exercis
ing care in contracting unions we shall
solve the so-called ‘divorce problem.’ ’’
THE MYSTERY OF MEMORY.
A Postal Clerk’s Wonderful Feat
No Adequate Scientific Explana
tion of the Wonder.
The newspapers are telling of the re
markable feat of a postal slerk who, in
a civil service examination, did not
make a single error in properly sorting
42,000 test postal cards, each represent
ing a poet office in a certain territory as
signed. This was done at the rate of
S3 1-3 cards a minute. Far more note
worthy is the memory of an expert pi
ano player, who will play an entire sea
_» __4. _ _.4 _ —
music before him. His memory is so
perfect that hundreds of thousands of
notes must be at the orderly and Instant
disposal of the will. And this is com
bined with a multiplicity of synchronous
recollections of timbre, tempo, expres
sion, etc.
The mystery is at present past the
hinting of aay explanation, and this
fact is as beautiful as it is appalling. It
shows us, declares American Medicine,
how far we are from any real science of
psychology. Physicians note the
strange thrusting of disease among the
mechanisms of memory, the morbid ef
fects of some neoplasm or injury to parts
of the convolutions of the brain where
by some memories are lost temporarily
or permanently, in part or completely,
while others are unaffected. Even this
leaves us in amazement at the inscruta
ble complexity and methods of the tellu
lar machine.
But through these morbid injuries
we catch tantalizing glimpses which
some day, properly studied and followed
up, may bring some psychologic physi
cian to an unraveling of the mystery.
Justification.
To the minds of the majority of the
country Jersey Justice was strangely
blinded when it punished the Newark
woman who threw pieces of coal at an
organ grinder for persisting In playing
worn-out ragtime tunes, remarks the
Baltimore American. Unless, indeed,
for the waste of good coal in a bad
cause.
Danger in Second Childhood.
Noah Robey, of Plainfield, N. J.
who claims to be 132 years old, is
down with the measles. This second
childhood business, says the Chicago
Rtecord-Herald, appears to be danger
ous if it is carried too far.

perhaps In no division does the publlo de

A Williams, inventors and builders of Under

sage and be convinced.
In this great production on the Pike,
scientists, Inventors, artists, mechanics
and electricians have vied with each other
toward a common goal, “ originality.’»
Neither time nor money has been spared,
and the public demands have been met and
exceeded, in the full realization of a sub

our 498 fellow passengers (the capacity of our
boat is 500) comfortably seated; the captain,
by a secret code of signals, issues his com
mands; the well-trained crew make ready
for our novel journey; the huge hull of the
submarine monster quivers gently, and then
gradually but surely we feel our strange craft
j slaking, sinking down to the lowest beds
: of the ocean. From the powerful electric
| search lamps, suddenly, light breaks at each
| side of the cabin, through the two oblong
crystal plates, separating us from the sea.
The obscurity of the cabin shows to advan
tage the brightness outside, and what a
spectacle is revealed to our bewildered
vision—dowers, fungi, polypi, plants, shells
and rock, a veritable kaleidoscope of green,
yellow, orange, violet and blue. With ex
cited exclamations of wonder and admiration
we gaze through the crystal plates, at the
aquatic army surrounding as. The boat’B
I manometer Indicates our depth now—1,00#
fathoms below the surface—and our captain,
a careful, brave and experienced submarine
skipper? skillfully manipulating the electric
switchboard at which he stands-valways and
ever alert to the dangers of the deep—stops
our downward course and points his vessel
straight ahead; the pressure of an electric
button Is simultaneous with a convulsive throb
as the mighty engine responds, the giant pro
peller churns the sea into a foaming fury and
with a leap and bound, as of a frightened
thing of life, we plunge forward through the

until almost upon us. The at first startled pas
sengers are quickly reassured by the captain.
There is no danger; our armament has been
well looked to in the emergency of attack,
but as the monster fish playfully circles
around us, strangely familiar and pleasant
sounds fall upon our ears; presently the mas
sive jaws of our friendly inclined escort open
and reveal a semi-earthly being, contentedly
seated on its monster green tongue, and In a
■ fine basso voice Is singing the lay of the deep

appear to our now thoroughly delighted
visions, the delicately tinted gold and silver
1 be-scaled bodies graoefully bounding over,
under and around the boat, as If imbued with
earthly vanity, they would rival each other’s
brightness.
With never-ending and tireless energy, our
great speed undimlnlshed, we rush madly on;
our goal is soon at hand; the pumps are set
In motion—the water drawn from the tanka.
