If the number of people daily enter

1,077 trains, each conveying 6d0 per

cover 221 miles of railway.
The L^nited States geographical sur
vey has just issued a map of New York
and vicinity. The map is engraved on
copper and printed from stone. The
cultural features, such as roads, rail
roads, cities, towns, houses, etc., as well
as the lettering, are brought out in
black, and other features, like swamps,
etc., are clearly defined, making a valu

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 is
in Austria, and each year it uses 22,000
pounds of phosphorus, turns out 2,500,
000,000,000 matches, and for the bores
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.

outer pen will be held a supply of ink,
when they are once dipped into the ink*

pages of manuscript. It is not neces
sary that the points of the two pens
should be very near together, but if
the flow of ink 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.aaguagn Used In Child- j
hood Is Hard to Correct in
After Life.
“Why do educated parents allow
their children to contract habits of un- j
grammatical speech that will have 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 1
they are young and should be care free. '
It seems cruel to be all the time cor- |
reefing them and keeping t hem on their
good behavior. They will have to learn
the rules of our dreadful language all j
too soon as it is.”
“Yes," said the spinster, “and In ad- j
dition to learning to speak properly
thqy will have to unlearn the tricks of
speech in which they have been allowed
t.» indulge all their little lives. I know,”
laughing, “that there is much ridicule j
of 'old maids’ children,’ but I believe
that my theory in this case is correct.
It is a 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 ‘I seen it?’ Ilove baby
talk, and should not correct a child for
his mispronunciation of hard words
As he grows older he will himself see
his mistakes in that line and change
them. But I insist that it is a parent's
duty to make the ditlieult path to gram
matical speech as easy as possible by
never allowing the little ones to stray
from it in the beginning."—Harper's
Bazar.
Some Mexican l<tm.
A Topeka man who recently toured
Mexico tells that they have some very
curious criminal laws down there. For
example, the stututes make it twice as
much of an offense to mutilate the face
of a woman as that of a man. While in
the City of Mexico he attended court
one day and saw a man sentenced to
one year in prison for cutting his para
mour across the face with a knife, IT
his victim had been a man the sentence
would not have been more than four
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
i punishment to the offender is fixed by
| ihe number of days his 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 clays
in his recovery the penalty doubles up.
As we understand the Topeka mam
these are not court customs, but statu

BATTERED BUT CHEERFUL.

Hospital Makes the Doe

Mirth and misery commingle oddly
it- times to lighten the burden of
wretchedness and woe which is the lot
of the unfortunates who are inmates of
the city's great hospitals. A score of
wan-faced sufferers were distributed
among the neat white cots of a medical
ward in Bellevue one day when a new
patient was brought in. He was a j
diminutive colored man, short, squat, j
thiek-set, black as ebony, with heavy j
protruding lips and a bullet-shaped
head sparsely sprinkled with kinky
gray black hair. He said he was George
Smith, 33 years old, and was born in
‘‘Loudon county, Virglny, sah.” All
was quiet in the ward save nn occasion
al groan from some weary sufferer,
when the doctors, four of them, grave
faced and dignified, came to examine
the new arrival.
“Well, George, how do you feel?"
asked the house physician, bending
over the cot.
The little darky looked at the doctors
aslsance for a moment, rolled his big
eyes around, and said mournfully:
“I'se hungry.”
“Have you any pain?” asked the doc- j
tor.
“No, sah, ’ceptin’ I’se hungry.”
Then the doctors proceeded to make
the usual examination. In the middle
of his back they found a criss-cross
cicatrix.
“How did you get this?” the doctor j
asked.
“Cow-bunkle,” replied the patient, j
A Serious
Mistake.
It is a serious thing to neglect
your heart.
The moment you detect any
weakness or irregularity, such
as short breath after exercise,
palpitation, fluttering, weak or
hungry spells, pain in breast,
side or shoulder, or uneasiness
when lying on left side, you
should take*Dr. Miles’ Heart
Cure; it rarely ever fails to
relieve all these symptoms.
If not promptly restored,
chronic heart disease soon de
velops, and then it only remains
for some sudden strain to com
pletely exhaust the heart.
Thousands of hopeless cases
have been cured, and if you do
not try it, it will be the great
est mistake of your life.
"When I began taking Dr. Miles'
Remedies I was in a very bad condi
tion. I had stomach trouble, with
severe distress after eating. My heart
hurt me, and I had shortness of
breath, palpitation. My pulse was
irregular, and my feet, ankles and
hands were swollen. Every month
at regular periods I had severe pain.
I wrote Dr. Miles’ Medical Co., and
they advised me to take Dr. Miles’
Restorative Nervine and Heart Cure.
I soon noticed an improvement, and I
continued the medicine until I was
completely cured. I feel like a dif
ferent person. In fact I have not felt
so well for 20 years."

“Wliat’s Jits?” continued the InquU- j
ltor, placing his finger on a big depres
sion in the calf of the patient’s leg.
“Dorg chawed it,” said Smith, apa
thetically.
A smile flitted across the faces of the
doctors and a patient in the next cot
forgot to moan. Next the physician
found a mass of irregular scars, which
lo’oked as if an eight-inch shell had
exploded and left its marks upon th>
patient’s face and neck.
“Explosion?" queried the doctor,
pointing to the spot.
“Mewl kicked me,” sa*’ Smith with
a you-make-me-tired air.
Even the grave equanimity of the
inen of medicine was disturbed, and pa
tients in adjacent cots laughed out
right, Further examination showed a
network of scars on his face and neck
resembling the tracks in the New York
Central freight yards.
“Razer fite,” was Smith’s explana
tion.

the doctor, with an amused smile,-lay

“No, ma’am, I don’t like ’em,” said
Mr. Cumrox, with emphasis. “I’m free
to say these dialect stories make me
tired. Half the words in ’em ain’t in
the dictionary.”
“But you might cultivate a liking for
them,” said his wife’s sister. “It la
something like music. You may not
have much of an ear for it at first, but
if you keep at it you will soon appre
ciate it.”
“Well, maybe I will some day. But
I’d rather have something solid. I'd
like to begin on some of my youngest
girl’s school books and go right through
’em. That’s the sort of reading that I’d
enjoy spending time on.”
He picked up one of his daughter’s
books which happened to be lyingnear.
It was a copy of Virgil, which his
daughter had been translating into
English. He jstared solemnly at the
first page of t.he Latin epic for awhile
and then slowly turned the leaf. When
his eyes had gotten down to the middle
of the next page he laid the volume
down with a sigh.
“It’s no use,” he exclaimed, regret
fully.

Many people who are neglecting symptoms of kidney trouble, hoping it will wear away, arc 8

OLEYSKIDNEYCURE
stops irregularities, strengthens the urinary organs and builds up the worn-out tissues
of the kidneys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kidneys strain out H
the impurities from the blood as it passes through them.. Diseased kidneys do not, and
the poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body, ^B
causing dizziness, backache, stomach trouble, sluggish liver, irregular heart actionj etc. ■
If you have any signs of Kidney or Bladder Trouble commence taking FOLEY b H
KIDNEY CURE at once, as it will cure a slight disorder in a few days and prevent a ■
fatal malady. It is pleasant to take and benefits the whole system. ■
