Your Life
‘ Current.
The power that gives you
life and motion is the nerve
force, or nerve fluid, located in
the nerve cells of the brain,
and sent out through the
nerves to the various organs.
If you are tired, nervous,
irritable, cannot sleep; have
headache, feel stuffy, dull and
melancholy, or have neuralgia,
rheumatism, backache, peri
odical pains, indigestion, dys
pepsia, stomach trouble, or the
kidneys and liver are inactive,
your life-current is weak.
Power-producing fuel is need
ed ; something to increase nerve
energy—strengthen the nerves.
Dr. Miles’ Restorative Ner
vine is the fuel you need. It
feeds the nerves, produces nerve
force, and restores vitality.
“When I began taking Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine and Anti-Pain
Pills I was confined to my bed. t
had severe nervous spells, the result
of two years illness with malaria, t
gradually grew so weak that I was
unable to sit up. The spells would
commence with cold chills, and I
would become weak and almost help
less. My circulation was poor. I
had doctored right along but grew
weaker and weaker. The Nervine
seemed to strengthen me right away
and my circulation was better. I have
taken in all seven bottles of the
Nervine, and I am entirely well.”

Mr. Jenkins la very anxious to Increase
Ms collection of skulls, and in the pos
session of medical students, physicians
and colleges of St. Joseph are specimens
taken from various burying grounds
that hare keen unearthed in the ex
cavations for buildings on sites that
hundreds of years ago were repositories
for the dead of the ancient red man.
"I have now in my possession Nl
perfect specimens of human skulls," says
Mr. Jenkins. "They represent the hu
man nr muf «na and I And them an
interesting study Indeed. How did I
corns to indulge In such a strange fault
Weil, in my youth I made a study of
anatomy, and became Intensely Inter
ested in the construction of the human
frame. I gradually acquired a taste for
this form of bric-a-brac.
"I got my real start as a collector oi
skulls In 1887. During excavations in
Bt. Joseph on property In the possession
of my father several specimens of an
^nclent race were exhumed, and
straightway found a resting place upon
a shelf In a cabinet In my home. I vis
ited the former home of the mound
builder in Colorado and New Mexico*
where other specimens of the ancient
inhabitants were discovered. They dif
fer materially from the skulls found in
St. Joseph. Then I visited the holy land
in search of specimens. From there I
drifted to the lands of the Ptolemies of
Egypt. Here some valuable acquisi
tions were made. I have tramped over
the Pampas of South America, the moun
tains of Peru and Chill, and even pene
trated into the wildernesses of the Ama
zon, where. In deposits of earth and
stone, I have brought to light perfect
specimens of human skulls, represent
ing periods which history does not
chronicle.
"In my experiments I have found that
some skulls take on a very beautiful
polish, and I must say that, under the
hand of a skilled artisan, they are made
magnificent These specimens occupy a
cabinet by themselves. I have a number
of skulls taken from the wreck of the
Galveston storm. I also have specimens
from other disasters on this and other
continents. Five victims of the Mont
Pelee disaster are represented la my
collection. This business of collecting
ikuils Is a great aid in the study and re
tention of important facts In history. I
have In my possession the skulls of men
at times prominent in the history of
this nation. How I came to have them
I do not care to say. However, money
!s a means of gratifying the tastes of
anyone who cares to make a collection
of this kind. Because I have acquired a
(Iking for this work, I spend much time
luring the winter months wandering
about between rows of grinning heads,

grave digger In Hamlet, upon the brev
ity of human life."
'‘SUICIDE CLUB” FLOURISHES.
r«sss Women of Boise, Idaho, Haws
Organisation and Chooso
Victims by Lot.
Boise, Idaho, flas a fully organized
suicide club. That It is ready for bust- ;
sow and has already transacted con- i
tlderable business is shown by the faci |
that at least three of its members havs
‘shuffled off” by the suicide route with- !
in a period of as many months.
The fact of the existence of the organ
ization became known to the police in
an investigation into the death of Grace
Ashton, its latest victim. She died from
morphine poisoning on a third attempt
at auiiiuc, uuiu UL uci yioviuua otLcuiiiw
having been frustrated through season
able discovery by friends.
Another young woman friend of Miss
Ashton attempted suicide by taking poi
son, but recovered, and It was through
her that the existence of the club was
made known. The club Is regularly or
ganised with a strong membership—all
young women—and holds meetings at
regular intervals. It transpires that at
each meeting a new victim Is chosen by
lot, who Is to “pass off” before the time
for the next meeting by one of the usual
methods adopted in such cases, the par
ticular mode being optional with the can
didate.
Philippine Position* Rot Wanted.
Positions In the Philippines seem to
go begging. Several months ago Col.
Edwards, chief of the Insular bureau,
sailed upon the civil service commis
sion to certify candidates for 150
teachers' positions paying from $2,000
to $900 per annum. There were few
applicants, fewer took the examina
tion, and only 42 were found eligible
for appointment. Another examina
tion will, therefore, be held early in
October. The Insular bureau will not
permit women to take the examina
tion for these positions, and the du
ties or pay of pedagogue do not seem
to appeal to the young men of the
country.

REMEMBER WOMAN’S GLANCE
Men May Forget the Color of Her Hair,
But the Power of Her Bye
Is Potent.
A. woman’s eyes are the first objects
to attract a man’s attention, and they
are the last things he remembers about
her. Long after he has forgotten the
color of her hair, the dimple In her
chin and the soft, sweet sound of her
voice, the look in her eye remains with
him, says an authority on the sub
ject.
He may not be able to single her
glove out of a pile of keepsakes; he
may have cast her photograph upside
down into the waste basket with a lot
of others; the slippers she made him
may have been worn out by his valet,
but still some particular turn of her
glance, some little trick of dropping
her lashes or lifting her brown eyes
will be as clear to him as the daylight.
Ten years after love ha3 been laid
away in his little satin-lined casket
that glance will rise like Banquo’s
ghost at the feast and startle him just
at the moment when the man Is look
ing mo3t Intently into the eyes of an
other woman.
It Is not the color of a woman’s eyes
which a man first observes or last re
members. Nine times out of ten a
man will turn from the glance of a
pair of soft brown, cowlike eyes to
gaze into the green orbs of the red
headed girl on the other side of the
table, and many a doll-like, blue-eyed
beauty weeps because some pug-nosed,
tawny-eyed woman has lured away her
■ want no rt
Ask any man the color of his sister’s
eyes and he will look at you blankly.
“Jove,” he will remark, “I—I believe
I’ve forgotten. But they're all right
There’s something about them that’s
catchy.’’ And that is positively all that
can be gotten out of him.
The fact that Becky Sharpe’s eyes
were green or that Cleopatra’s eyes
were yellow never interfered with the
machinations of those fascinating la
dies, nor dulled their reputations as
coquettes. Color, size and shape may
make an eye beautiful, but they never
can give it that something which so
many beautiful eyes lack and so many
homely ones possess, the power to
make a man break a bank or sell his
overcoat In order to give his wife what
she wants.
When the world was sentimental
men called it "soul." Then they grew
practical and apathetic and they called
It “character." But no man will ever
know what it is any more than he will
ever know why he married the particu
lar woman he picked out or why the
cook has left It is a question as
subtle and elusive as either of these.
WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
Some That Were Worked by Young
Americans with a Genius for
Invention.
A young man who at 21 had been be
fore the mast, had worked in the
chemical department of a mill and had
lectured upon nitrous-oxide gas
throughout the country patented the
rotating chamber for a pistol. It was
not considered particularly valuable un
til after his first company that made it
had failed and fights in Texas and with
the Seminoles in Florida proved its
worth. The Mexican war made a de
mand for it
The same mechanic, says the
World’s Work, who did so much for
early ax-making developed details in
revolver-making. The American plan
of not hesitating at the cost of new
appliances was never better shown
than in this big armory. The owner
wa3 probably the first man to suggest
the mining of harbors with torpedoes
for defense, and he was the first to lay
a submarine electric cable. One day a
young man from Vermont came to his
works. v
“What can you do?" asked the su
perintendent
“I’m a machinist, a toolmaker and a
diesinker and I can play a horn, a a
band,” was the reply.
He went to work the next day. A
few years later he multiplied by 40 the
value of certain labor in another fac
tory, and by another Invention saved
tne company ?5U,00U on contracts al
ready made. Later, with a sewing A
chine company, he forged shuttles from
one piece of bar steel and cut previous
costs in half. Since that time he has
made forgings by the use of drops
weighing as much as a ton dropping
with dies sometimes six feet upon iron,
steel and copper. An example of his in
ventive genius is the instance of his
forging offhand from a single piece of
copper commutator bars for electric
dynamos after the electrician In charge
had said that such a scheme was im
possible.
Priest and Donkey.
When Archbishop Farley was private
chamberlain to the late Pope Leo, some
20 years ago, he was called upon to meet
all sorts of persons. Many of them
measured wits with him, and few scored
victory. On one occasion a young
Frenchman tried his best to anger the
prelate, then Mons. Farley, by scoffing
at religion and clergymen. Failing in
this, he resorted to sheer impudence,
saying: “I am informed that in Mada
gascar, whenever they hang a priest,
they hang a donkey along with him.”
The young man laughed, and Mons.
Farley, looking at him mildly, said:
“Well, let us both be thankful, my young
friend, that we are not in Madagas
car”
Much More to the Point.
“Ef yer real interested,” said Dea
con Skinner, “I’ll tell ye what I want
fur thet horse."
“Oh, I wouldn’t be interested in know
ing thet," replied Farmer Shoude.
“No?”
“No; but I wouldn't mind knowia’
what ye’d take.”—Philadelphia PreML
