All Pain is
Nerve Pain
Pain is sure to follow any strain or weakening
influence upon the nerves. It may be caused by
over-exertion, heat, intense mental effort, colds, in
digestion, or any cause that depresses, excites or
agitates the nerves. So sensitive are they that the
least pressure op'strain causes suffering. By sooth
ing, strengthening and quieting the nerves D*
Miles' Anti-Pain Pills relieve the paia.

More matches are used in the United
Kingdom than in any other one coun
try in the world. It has been estimated
that English people use an average of
eight matches each person per day, and
annually over 1,700,000,000,000 are
burned. The largest match factory la
in Austria, and each year it uses 22,000
pounds of phosphorus, turns out 2,500,
000,000,000 matches, and for the boxes
alone 160,000 feet of wood are used.
One pound a day is said to be the most
that an organ grinder ever takes, while,
with some exceptions, five shillings
Is about the least, so that a London or
gan grinder may be regarded as a fair
ly prosperous man. An organ can be
hired from the makers for one shil
ling sixpence a day, while the price of a
new organ is £25. The cost of setting
an organ to new tunes is about four
pounds, and, since novelty is essential,
this is a frequent source of expense.
If you wish to make a fountain pen,

stand, that will last to write several
pages ox manuscript. xx is nox neces
sary that the points of the two pens
should be very near together, but if
the flow of iuk is not rapid enough
the points may be brought nearer by a
bit of thread or a minute rubber band.
HABITS OF SPEECH.
Faulty l.an&'itaffe Isod In Child*
liood I* Hurd to Correct In
After Life.
“Why do educated parents allow
their children to contract habits of un
grammatical speech that will hav. to be
conquered in after-life?” asked a spin
ster of a mother.
“Because they hate to worry the poor
little things about such matters when
they are young and should be care free.
It seems cruel to be all the time cor
recting them and keeping them on their
- good behavior. They will have to learn
the rules of our dreadful language all
too soon as it is.”
“Ves,” said the spinster, “and In ad
dition to learning to speak properly
they will have to unlearn the tricks of
speech in which they have been allowed
te indulge all their little lives. 1 know,”
laughing, “that there is much ridicule
of ‘old maids’ children,’ but I believe
that my theory in this case is correct.
It is n positive unkindness to let your
child double his negatives and say
‘ain’t,’ when several years from now he
will be harshly reproved for such
lapses. The child must learn to talk,
anyway, and is it not as easy to teach
him to say ‘It is I,’ as ‘It’s me?’ And is
it not as simple for the little tongue to
lisp ‘I saw it,’ as ‘1 seen it.?’ I love baby
talk, and should not correct a child for
his mispronunciation of hard words.
A* he grows older lie will himself see
his mistakes in that line and change
them. But I insist that it is a parent’s
duty to make the difficult path togram
matical speech as easy as possible by
never allowing the little onessp' stray
from it in the beginning."—Harper’*

Some Mexican Law*.
A Topeka man who recently toured
Mexico tells that they have some very
curious criminal laws down there. For
example, the statutes make it twice a* ;
much of an offense to mutilate the face j
of a woman as tUal of a man. While in I
the City of Mexico he attended court
one day ami saw a man sentenced to j
one year in prison for cutting his para
mour across the face with a knife. 11
his victim had been a man the sentence
would not have been more than lour
months at the outside. The law seems
to be based on the idea that a woman's
best possession is her beauty, and that
to mar it does her a great injury. There
is another curious law. If a person
should be wounded in an encounter the
punishment to the offender is fixed by
the number of days bis victim has to
stay in the hospital or under a doctor’s
care. A line is fixed at 40 days in the
way of a general division, if the in
jured man occupies more than 40 days
in his recovery the penalty doubles up.
-\s we understand the Topeka man
these are not court customs, but statu
tory enactments.—Kansas City Jour

<;> FEET AND INTELLECT
G
People with Small Pedal Eilrtiultlmi
Are Sol Always Possessed of Su
perior Mental Acquirements.
—
Small feet are considered by many to
ie a mark of aristocracy, but they cer
tainly do not indicate superiority of
intellect, for many women of supreme
intelligence have had very large feel,
George Eliot, for instance, who re
sorted to all kinds of devices to make
her big, broad, Hat feat appear less
enormous. Mine. De Vtuel, the most bril
liant woman intellectually of her day,
had sik-1i immense and ungainly feet
that slie was made miserable by the
consciousness of their undue propor
tions, and knew that she was the sub
ject of many a joke on their account.
Her face was not beautiful, but her
figure was handsome and statuesque,
and she once ventured to assume the
i role of a Greek statue in some tableaux
| vivants which were given before an au
dience composed of clever and distin
guished people, among whom was Ihe
witty Talleyrand. Mine. De Stael was
grievously offended at hearing that her
brilliant friend had invented a bon mot
at her expense by remarking that he
: had recognized the impersonator of the
j Greek character at once by the “pied
de Stael.’’
The Germans and Scotch are credited
with having the largest feet in Europe,
and Spanish women, particularly An
dalusisms, the smallest. The queen re
gent, who is Austrian and of as aristo
cratic a descent as the most fastidious
could desire, is not blessed with small
feet; they are large and broad, and al
though, of course, she has the best of
; chausseurs that money can procure,
they never look neat. This is one of
' the grievances that the Spaniards have
against her, for they have a horror of
big feet pn a woman, and look upon
such a defect akin to crime.
1 know7 a Spanish lady who went to
Berlin, and a few days after her arrival,
on dressing for a ball she discovered
that her maid had forgotten to pack the
case containing her evening shoes. She
sent out for a pair, giving one of her
walking shoes as a sample, and after a
| prolonged absence the messenger re
| turned saying- that no shoemaker hao
anything so small on his premises ex
: cept for very young children. The
whole city was searched, with the same
result, and she was obliged to wear her
walking shoes until some could be made
for her. The shoemaker did not have
a last small enough, and a special one
had to be made, which fact gives elo
quent if not altogether flattering proof
concerning the truth of what we hear
anent the size of the German ladies'
feet. Such a size and shape as 5 A
would, I think, not be found in any oth
er country, yet it is commonly asked
for here. English women are great
walkers, and wear wide, comfortable
boots for their long rambles thVough
muddy country lanes—they scorn rub
bers—and in consequence their feet
have become broad, but compared to
those of their Scotch sisters they are
fairylike. _
French women have short, thick feet
and their shoes made rather to increase
this appearance than otherwise. They
wear their high heels almost in the mid
dle of the foot, the instep is padded to
arch it, and she whose foot is long and
narrow will use every art to take ofl
about half its' length, the res>ilt be
ing that as she gets older she is so
troubled with corns and bunions that
a pair of good old felt slippers—‘her
husband's preferably—are the only
things she can endure with comfort,
aud in these she will shuffle about the
house, an eyesore to everyone who sees
her, donning the high heels, however,
for outdoor wear religiously, for a trua
French woman will suffer the tortures
of the inquisition every day of her life
with all the fortitude of a saint rather
than wear a sensible, low-heeled shoe
that would give any idea of the real
shape of her foot.— N. Y. Telegram.

One Story That lllunt ra t m tlir Te
nacity of tlie Subjective
>11 n <1.
A year ag<>a Chicago woman was vis
iting in u New York village. She went
with tier hostess to make a call on the
next-door neigh hor. The woman on
whom she was calling incidentally men
tioned that she expected a niece who
was just graduating at some college
ller name was not mentioned. A few
days later the Chicago woman 'eft. On
her way to the station she stopped next
door to get a parcel, it was handed t<;
her by a young woman. That is all
there was to that end of the story.
One day laiely the Chicago woman
went on a lake trip. On the boat she
met a young woman from a neighbor
ing state. Kaeli thought, the other’s
face was familiar, but neither said any
thing about it. Finally a common
friend happened to mention a Michi
gan summer resort to the Chicago wom
an. The Chicago woman had never
been there, but had relatives who went
there every year. This led to a men
tion of the New York village. In o
flash 1 lie Chicago woman knew that the |
girl w ith the familiar face was the one 1
who gave her the parcel the day she
left. The minute the name' of the vil
lage was mentioned to the girl she rec
ognized the Chicago woman as the one
to whom she had handed the parcel.
This is a good example of what the
hypuotists and “suggestionists” call
the subjective mipd. It illustrates very
aptly Hie old saying that nothing is
really forgotten, and that all impres
sions a re. indelibly engraved upon the
mental retina. In this fact lies the ex
planation of many vagaries of the mind
that on the face of things puzzle the
scientists.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Distinctively Different,
I n Every Way the Best.
j The Weekly Globe-Democrat, of St. Louis, cc
i field peculiarly and exclusively its own.
It is issued twice every week. A hie Semi-Weekly
paper. Eight t ten large page.- every Tuesday and Friday,
One Dollar a year.
Nothing particularly different. sa , about that—there
are other “Twice a-Week” pdp.
Yes, but the similarity end- there. N other paper is like >
the Globe-Democrat in any other respect No other paper
equals the Globe-Democrat in any respect.
' An entirely unique feature of the 'G obe-Democrat, a
feature which is highly prized by its readers, is its systematic
method of preserving and presenting the continuity of news.
The two papers each week. Tuesday and Friday, are care
fully prepared with the view of giving the complete news of
all the world for that week.
They are so combined in the make-up as to form continued
connected stories of the various important events, showing the
developments from day to day and the tinai results.
Other weekly and tvvice-a-week papers, as a rule, print
only a few telegrams of the day of issue.
The “Twice-a-Week” Globe-Democrat gives the telegrams
of every day in the wreek more comprehensively than the
average Daily, and of more value to the average reader.
Moreover, the “Twice-a-Week" Globe-Demoerat is not
simply an echo of the Daily edition.
ic is a separace ana aistinct pum[cation, especially preparea
to supply the requirements of people who want ail the hews of
all the earth—and something more.
It presents the’ World’s daily history in concise but com
plete form. It is of equal interest in all parts of the United
States. It is invaluable alike to men and women, young and
old.
It thoroughly provides for every member of the family.
In high grade literature it particularly excels. Its market re
ports are correct and complete in every detail.
Its departments devoted to “The Home,” “The Farm and
Garden,” “The Family Circle,” “The Sunday School,”
“Science and Industry,” are each and all The Best of their
kind and either one is more than worth the subscription price
of the paper.
In politics it is strictly Republican, but it is above all a
newspaper, and it tells the truth without fear or favor. It
has no equal or rival as a great National news and home
journal.
| Remember the price, only One Dollar per year —104 papers
— less than one cent a copy. Pasta prepared.
You will maxe no mistake if you 3end $1.00 today for a
year’s subscription. Or you can get your own paper one year
without cost by indulging two of your neighbors to subscribe
and sending their names with $2.00.
