THAT TIRED SFR1NG FEELING
Which Comes to Many with the Sea
son That Should Renew
Life and Energy.
There are certain persons to whom the
advent of spring, instead of bringing a
sense of rejuvenescence, provides a very
different sensation, says the London
Lancet. The youth of the year, when
nature seems to revel in growth and de
velopment, ought to give, it might be
thought, to the human species, too, a
sense of vigor and of the natural joyful
ness of fecundity. When the birds are
breaking into song and the plants into
flower, poor man might also exult in life
and its annual time of awakening
growth. Yet to many the return of
spring is only the return of a vague
feeling of listless languor, a slack sense
of fatigue that comes without labor
and of weariness that is uncalled for by
any unusual effort.
To those who dwell In cities, at any
rate, spring has trials that are peculiar
to itself. To some extent these arise
from the knowledge that abroad In the
country all is new life, refreshened
vigor, and inspiring atmosphere, while
in town the wonted thraldom is en
hanced by the suspicion of these things
that is gained from the trees and the
plants of public parks and open spaces,
where poor little bits of nature bloom
only to suggest in vain all that awaits
the town dweller if he could escape. It
Is not only dissatisfaction, though, at
being unable to partake In nature’s
gaiety that produces the feeling of which
we speak; something is due to climatic
conditions.
Who does not know the enervating
sense that accompanies the first warm
day of the year? We may agree with
Johnson that he is a weak creature who
is influenced by the weather, but if we
dn wp must confess with the same breath
that to-day most of us are weak crea
tures. If, like Johnson, we lived in more
leisurely times and regaled ourselves
heartily In Fleet street about the middle
of the day, following the weal with a
comfortable discussion, maybe we, too,
Bhould be indifferent whether the sun
shone or the rain fell. Unfortunately, ;
we work our nervous systems more and
our alimentary organs less than did our
grandparents. Inevitably we have a
sensitiveness that was unknown to most
of them. Their fits of “the spleen” were
well earned, probably, by loads within
the stomach. We acknowledge no such
consoling cause for the ennui that often
in the spring assails the town dweller.
Happy he who can dispel it by a week
end in the country or at the sea before
his regulation summer holiday arrives.
COPPERS BECOME A PLAGUE
Nearly $15,000,000 Worth, of the
Coins Are in Circulation
in England.
Many large towns in England are, like
Leeds, suffering from a plague of cop
pers. The extension of tramways with
half-penny fares, the use of penny-in
the-slot gas meters and automatic ma
chines, and in London the Tube railway,
with its two-penny fares, have produced
an enormous change of small silver
coins into pennies and halfpennies,
states the London Chronicle.
Tradesmen consequently are finding
themselves burdened with huge quan
tities of coppers, and they complain that
they cannot get rid of them by an ex
change for small silver. It might be
thought that the royal mint had some
thing to do with this excess of coppers,
biu on that point the master of the mint,
Mr. W. G. E. Macartney, M P., is tm
phatic.
“It is not a question of minting at all,"
he said, “it is merely a question of bank
ing. If the tradesmen of Leeds, or any
other town, find they have a superfluity
of coppers, they have only to tell their
banker that if he cannot give them sil
ver in exchange they will transfer their
accounts. Take the case of Leeds. Ob
viously the money has not left the town,
and it is the tradesmen’s fault if they
cannot get silver for copper.”
The mint, it may be added, always
strikes more than the ordinary-quanti
ties of any particular coin for which
there is an abnormal request. But there
has been no excessive demand recently
for coppers. The value of the bronze is
sues in 1902—the latest year for which
the statistics are available—was some*
what larger than in 1901, but there wras
also a considerable increase in the value
of the silver issues. In 1901 the number
of bronze pieces struck at the royal mint
in London wTas 41,349.387, valued at
£120,280, while in 1902 the number had
risen to 45,774.848 pieces of the value of
£148,499. The silver coins struck in
1901 totaled 18.843.425. valued at £914.
201, while in 1902 the figures were 28,
270,996, amounting in value to £937,202.
In his report for 19d2 Mr. Macartney
gives the following estimate of the prob
able value of the bronze coin now cir
culating in the United Kingdom: Pence,
£1.968.048: halfpence, £713,450; farth*!
lngs, £150.190. This estimate is based
on the total issue from 1880 to 1902 in*
elusive, allowing 10 per cent, as the esti
mated issued to the colonies and for
coins lost or destroyed.
It Was Wished On.
Johnny’s sister has a ring that Johnny
is very fond of. He is allowed to wear it
sometimes for an hour or so, when ha
has been very good, or has promised ta
be. One day he suddenly found that he
wanted to wear that beautiful little gold
band, and so he informed his sister. She
wasn’t just in the mood, so she told him,
as he insisted, that she couldn’t take it
off because it wra3 “wished on.” Johnny
said little and thought much, and tffl
next afternoon, when sisters had caller*
he rushed in and plumped down on an ob
toman in the middle of the room.
“Johnn,” reminded his sister, “youi
cap, dear."
"Oh," returned the boy, ioeocently, “1
can’t take it off, sia; it’a wiabadoa.’ — N

REGARDING MEN AND WOMEN
According to a Woman Writer Men
Are Loyal and ‘‘Easy to Get
Along With.”
Various apt, Incisive comment* mad*
by Gail Hamilton almost half a century
ago on “Men and Women” are in most
respects equally full of force to-day,
with all the vaunted progress woman
has made, say's the New York Tribune.
“Men are strong; they do things, and
don’t mind it,” admits this vigorous
woman writer. ‘‘They can open doors
in the dampest weather. They can un
strap trunks without breaking a blood
vessel, turn keys in a moment which
women have lost their tempers and
lamed their fingers over for half an
hour; look down precipices and not be
dizzy. . . . You may strike them
with all your might on the chest, and it
doesn’t hurt them in the least (I meaji
if you are a woman.) They never grow
nervous and cry. They go upstairs
three at a time. They put one hand
on a four-rail fence and leap it without
touching. In short, they do everything
easily which women try to do and can
not.
“Moreover,” continues this commen
tator, “men are so ‘easy to get along
with.’ They are conveniently blind and
benevolent. Women criticise you. not
unjustly, perhaps, but relentlessly.
They Judge you in detail, men only ih
the whole. If your dress is neat, well
fitting and well toned, men will not no
tice it, except a few man-milliners and
a few others who ought to be. If you
will only sit still, hold up your head
and speak when you are spoken to, you
can be very comfortable. I do not mean
that men cannot and do not appreciate
female brilliancy, but if your are a good
listener and in the right receptive mood
you can spend an hour very pleasantly
without it.
“But a woman finds out In the first
three minutes that the fringe on your
dress is not a match. In four she has
discovered that the silk of your sleeves
is frayed at the edge. In five that the
binding of the heel of your boot is
worn out. By the sixth she has satis
factorily ascertained w'hat she suspected
the first moment she 'set eyes on you,’
that you trimmed your bonnet your
self. The seventh assures her that your
collar is only ‘imitation;’ and when you
part, at the end of fen minutes, she has
calculated with tolerable accuracy the
cost of your dress, has leveled her men
tal glasses at all your innocent little
subterfuges and knows to a dead cer
tainty your past history, present cir
cumstances and future prospects. Well,
what harm if she does? None in par
ticular. It is only being stretched on
the rack a little while. You have no rea
son to be ashamed. Your boots are only
beginning to be shabby, and we all know
the transitory nature of galloon. Your
fringe is too dark, but you ransacked
the city and did your besi, ‘angels could
do no more.’ You trimmed your bonnet
yourself and saved two dollars, which
was just what you intended to do. Your
lace is not real, according to the cant of
the shopkeepers, but it is real—real
cotton, real linen, real silk, or what
ever the material may be, and you
never -pretended it was Honilon or
point. . . .
“But if men, in their strength and
courage and independence, are enviable,
men in their gentleness are irresistible,”
concluded the -writer. “You expect gen
tleness in women. It is their attribute
and characteristic. You do not admire
its presence so much as you deplore or
condemn its absence. But manly ten
derness has a peculiar charm . . .
and you meet it everywhere—in the
house and by the wayside in
city and country, under broad
cloth and, homespun. You may
travel from one end of the country to
the other, and meet not only civility,
but the most cordial and considerate
kindness. You may be as ugly as it is
possible for virtue to be, and tired and
travel-stained and stupid, and your
neighbor of a day will show you all the
little attentions you could claim from a
father" or brother or husband. . . .
Women —ould better improve the
m ; /v V* ^ A, - a a K aI-At*/, nrA i t-i rv A ."1 A t A T
others they know not of. If men will be
eo good as to do the law making, and
stock jobbing, and bribing, and quarrel
ing and stump speaking, I shall be great
ly obliged to them. . . . Am I en
thusiastic over this involuntary out
gushing of the stream of kindness which
flows so continually from men to us
ward? I have a right to be. A nation
of men loyal, not to grace, beauty, mag
nificence, but to womanhood, to the
highest impulses of human nature, to the
love element of the universe, is a thing
to be enthusiastic about.”
The Picture Hat.
“I witnessed an amusing incident at
one of the local theaters the other
evening,” remarked the theater-goer
“A woman, wearing a large picture
hat, wa3 seated directly In front of an
elderly man., who was straining his
neck in an endeavor to see what was
happening on the stage, and, of course,
it was only possible for him to see but
one-third of the performance.
“The second act had begun, and I
could plainly see that his anger was
increasing. At last, when he could
6tand it no longer, he lightly tapped
the woman on the shoulder, and, In aa
gentle tone as he possibly could mus»
ter, said:
“ ‘Madam, pardon me, but I paid two
dollars for this seajt, and your hat—■’
" ‘My hat cost $25, slr-r-rl’ came th«
haughty reply.
“The conversation was at an end.”

Periodic
Pains.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Piils

for the relief of periodic pains,
backache, nervous or sick head
ache, or any of the distress

have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as well as in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, chloral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.
“For a long time I have suffered
greatly with spells of backache, that
geem almost more than I can endure.
These attack's come on every month,
and fast two or three days. I have
never been able to get anything that
would give me much relief until I be
began the use of Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain
Pils, and they always relieve me in a
short time. My sister, who suffers
the same way, has used them with
the same results.’' MRS. PARK,
