of Jlu.i* nnil Girlx.
From twlve on an increasing per- \
vtu< r ilie children relimiuish the !
idea that sell' is nec.-ssary in the joke ;
and five m.'i'r inipi is ami accounts. 1
(.'il ls more I'r '(jtii i:!I,, than boys quote j
the hruior of lit" refined adult and li> ,
personal experi.i:o. s often describe oe :
casions of their own timidity. This i>
probably to the different home
training a girl receives. She is con
tinually t'rilled "to be a lady," which
in most < ;.s's means to drop her natu
ral instincts ai I to imitate the adults
of her environ. ;eiit. About twelve she
loses the f< arl. ssness she lias hitherto
shared with Inr brothers and becomes
good prey f<T their "scaring" schemes.
This seems to develop the boys' teas
ing abilities, t'or. while before almost
all their tricks were on their own sex,
now the acme of their fun as recorded
is to frighten some girl or to make her
look ridiculous. A boy of twelve il
lustrates tills tendency and by his
mixed clauses gives further material
for smiles. "The best joke I saw
played was putting a bunch of fire
crackers by a lady that were not lit,
and they scared her."—Century.
A Score.
Twenty is called a score because it
represents the whole man, ten fingers
and ten toes. Etymologically it means
a cut or mark. In very early times,
when men could not count beyond
twenty, or "one man,"it was usual
to cut a notch In a stick and begin
again, and so it went on, one man, two
men, and so on. This is why sheep
are still counted by the score. Now, a
tally (French taille, cut or nicked)
means an account kept by means of a
notched stick, and until the end of the
eighteenth century such sticks were
given as exchequer receipts, accom
panied by a written document. This
was also the usual way of keeping ac
counts In the Inns of the middle ages.
The number of drinks or meals a cus
tomcr had were scored against him on
what was called a tally stick, and
■when it reached twenty, or a "whole
man,"he was expected to pay. In
some English country inns scores are
still kept on a slate, four chalk marks
and one across—five—and four of these
make twenty, or a score.
For His Sovereign's Sake.
The shah of Persia when in Franco
-suffered from a toothache, and so a
dentist was summoned to remove the
offending tooth. But, like less exalted
mortals, the sliaii, when he found him
self face to face with the dentist, dis
covered that his toothache had disap
peared, and so absolutely refused to be
operated on. However, his majesty
declared that he did not wish the den
tist to lose his time, and so commanded
that a tooth should be extracted from
each of Ills suit. He said this with
his eyes fixed on the ground, and then,
•suddenly looking up, found, to liis in-'
tense amusement, that all his minis
ters and staff had quietly slipped away
except the grand vizier, whom he com
plimented upon being the only one
faithful enough to undergo a little dis
comfort for his sovereign's sake. Then
he dismissed the dentist with a present.
A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when
getting his usual Saturday night bath,
stepped back against a hot stove which
burned him severely. The child was in
great agony and his mother could do
nothing to pacify hiui. Remembering
that she had a bottle of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm in the house, she thought she
would try it. In less than half an hour
alter applying it the child was quiet and
asleep, and in less than two weeks was
well. Mrs. Benson is a well known resi
dent of Kellar, Va. Pain Balm is an an
tiseptic liniment and (.specially valuable
for burns, cuts, bruises and sprains. For
sale by 1,. Taggart.

This is the season when the woman who
knows the best remedies for croup is in de
mand in every neighborhood One of' ihc 1
most terrible things in the world is to be
awakened in the middle of the night by a
whoop from one of the children. The
eroup remedies are almost as sure to be lost,
in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be
lost in case of burglars. There used to '
be an old fashioned remedy tor croup j
known as hive syrup and tolu' but some '<
modern mothers say that Chamberlain's j
Couah Remedy is better, and does not |
cost so much. It causes the patient to I
"throw up the phlegm" quicker, and gives j
relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy i
as soon as the croupy cough appears and ]
it will prevent the attack It never fails ;
and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale j
by L Tnggart.
