The Words in a Lead Pencil. Some oue has been calculating the number of words iu a lead pencil, and he has published the result iu a New Orleans paper. "I have," ho says, "been figuring ou the possibilities of words in a lead pencil. In the first place the average pencil is seven inches long. The average diameter of the pencil used by men who write a great deal is one-twelfth of an inch. Considering the wood and lead the poiut of a pencil meas ures about one-half of an inch, one-quarter of an inch represent ing the lead portion. Allowing for breaks and scratches, one-quart-ter of an inch of lead will write two columns of matter for the or dinary newspaper, assuming that the pencil is not of the extremely soft character. There are about I.njO words in a full column of a newspaper of the average size. Two columns would represent 3, (i0 words. So we get this number of words out of one-quarter of an inch of lead. Out of an inch of lead we would get four times 3, 000, or 14,400 words Out of sev en inches we would get 100,800 words. So far as the number of words is concerned we have in this result the possibilities of the lead pencil." Night Was Her Terror. "I would cough nearly all night long," writes Mrs. Chas. Apple gate, of Alexandria, Ind., "and could hardly get any sleep. I had consumption so bad that if I. walked a block I would cough frightfully and spit blood, but, when all other medicines failed, three 1.00 bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery wholly cured me aud I gained 58 pounds." It's absolutely guaranteed to cure Coughs, Colds, La Grippe, Bron chitis and all Throat and Lung Troubles. '-Price 50c and 1.00. Trial bottles free at W. S. Dick son's drug store. Roosevelt's Plain Speech. "The first time I saw President Koosevelt," said a Washington newspaper man, "was when he was one of the civil service com missioners. I was carrying the hod for a morning newspaper, and was given assignment to see Mr. Koosevelt touching some civil ser vice question. When I reached the gentleman's home I was shown into the library, and pretty hoon Mr. Koosevelt walked in. He came to me and gave me a warm handshake, and went right to business by saying:' 'I'm glad to see you. but sorry, my young fi ii;ud, that you represent the pa per you do. The editor of your paper is an infamous scoundrel and unmitigated liar. Yes, sir, that's just what he is; but I know you can't help it. All heaven and earth could not keep him from be ing just what he is. Be good enough to tell him I said this. Now blaze away aud tell me what you wish to know, and I'll do the host I can by you.' And then af ter delivering himself of his priv ate opinioii of niyboss, Mr. Koo.se vt.lt gave me-all the facts I wished, and the last words he said to me wore, to not forget to tell the edi tor his opinion of him.

The present state of science is such that no man can tell wheth er a lightning rod does more good than harm or more harm than good. It is is likely that if the rod is big enough and sufficiently well grounded, aud the lightning Hash is aimed directly at one's house, that some part of it or possibly all of it may go to ground over the lightuiug rod. That is all that can be said. If a house lias a tin roof it is reasonably safe anyhow. If it has a steel frame construction or is full of water pipes it is still safer. If it is a frame house with a shingle roof you can secure entire safety for it by building a copper house out side of it. This, we believe, is the only efficient lightning pro tection. The whole matter of lightning rods was conceived in ignorance and has been exploited in folly. It is not now believed that the or dinary lightning rod does any good, or ou the contrary, that it does any particular harm. In sulators will not help it nor will they harm it. If we were living iu your house we would rather not have the lightning rod. Elec trical Review. Could Not Breathe. Coughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis, and other throat and lung troubles are quickly cured by One Miuute Cough Cure. One Minute Cough Cure is not a mere expectorant, which gives ouly temporary relief. It softens and liquifies the mucous, draws out the inllamatiou and removes'the cause of the disease. Absolutely safe. Acts at once. "One Min ute Cough Cure will do all that is claimed for it," says Justice of the Peace, J. Q. Hood, Crosby, Miss. "My wife could not get her breath and was relieved by the first dose. It has been a benefit to all my family." About Sail Although i n treaties on dietetics salt figures as a condiment, it is universally recognized to be some thing more; indeed, it is an indis peusablo element of the food of man aud auinials. A well known authority asserts, says the Medi cal Press and Circular, that when ever the annual consumption of salt falls below twenty pounds per head of population the public health is likely to suffer. The de privation of salt does not produce a definite disease, butreduc.es the vitality of the organism as a whole, so that the victims of administra tive measure which restrict the consumption of salt more ready fall prey to prevailing epidemics, as well as to endemic maladies. Strikes A Rich Find. I "I was troubled for several I years with chronic indigestion I and nervous debillity," writes ! F. J. Green, of Lancaster. N. H., "No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Bitters, which did me more good thau all the medicines I ever used. They ha .e also kept my wife in excel lent health for years. She says Kloctric Bitters are just splen did for female troubles; that they are a grand tonic and invigorator for weak, run down women. No other medicine can take its place in our family." Try them. Ouly r0c. Satisfaction guaranteed by W. S. Dickson. One of the astronomers, J.J. Atkinson who visited Sumatra to observe the total solar eclipse last year, made the aquaintance of an old Malay, living on alittb island near tho Sumatran coast, who owned a largo monkey, which ho had trained to work for him in gathering cocoanuts. The mou kdy's business was to climb'the gigantic cocoanut palms and throw dowu tho nuts "which he did," says Mr. Atkinson, "in the most artistic manner, by screw ing the nuts off with his power ful arms, while he hung by his legs 70 feet to 100 feet from the ground." A Severe Cold For Three Months. Tho following letters from A, J. Nusbaum, of Batesville.Ind., tells its own story. "I suffered for throe months with a severe cold. A druggist prepared me some medicine and a physician pre scribed for me, yet I did net im prove. I then triod Foley's Hon ey and Tar, and eight doses cured me." Refuse substitutes.
