CHURCH CONCERNS. Y)r. Walter W. Webb, president of Neshotali college, has been unanimous ly elected bishop coadjutor to Bishop I.ea Nicholson, of the Milwaukee Epis copal diocese. Rev. A. Loyd, of St. Ambrose's church, Birmingham, is going to dis tribute the members of his choir among the congregation, "where their examples will arouse those sitting near them." The oldest clergyman in Kngland is Rev. John Edward Kempe, M. A., who lias been in holy orders for 72 years, being now 95 years of age. He ha 3 been chaplain in ordinary to King Ed ward since 1901. In accordance with the expressed de fire of the Roman Catholics of Ne vada, that state will be made a sepa rate diocese. Most of it has hitherto former part of the diocese of Sacra mento. A splendid cathedral will be built in Reno on the site of a church that was burned recently. Dr. William M. Zaring. of Indi ana conference, has completed 52 years of active service. In that period he has been out of his pulpit because of sickness only six times. He will not be superannuated, either, for the en tire membership of Grace church, In dianapolis, has petitioned for his re turn. It is 60 years since Rev. Henry Francis Lyle, who wrote the beautiful hymn, "Abide With Me," died at Nice, and this year a final effort is being made in the far-distant little seaport In Devonshire, where he lived and ministered for 25 years, to complete the rebuilding of the little memorial church which has taken the fishermen 30 years to build. Pope Pius at present is occupied in collecting the ba<f debt of the Vatican. It was the custom of Pope Leo to help Roman families who had met with financial distress. In this way several notable families were able to tide over difficulties, but large sums thus loaned fcave not been returned. One marquis who owes $25,000 is to be sued. In all departments of the Vatican economy Is the order of the day. DOINGS OF SOME PEOPLE. Mra. Clora Curtis, aged 74.was may or of Cimarron, Kan . for three terms, and is credited with having saved the city from bankruptcy through her ex cellent management. Mrs. Curtis, who died last September, might have hail a fourth term, but declined on account of deafness. Five men have been arrested at Reno, Nev., for a mail order fraud. Under the title of "Cromwell Simon Staie University of Reno, Nev.," they put advertisements m the papers of- ■ fering for ten cents to furnish ail in- J formation necessary to obtain any de gree in the gift of the university. A. J. Seaman, an eccentric bond buy er of Omaha, who lives on nine cents a day, is receiving hundreds of letters from women who wish to marry him. 6eaman's story was printed in the j Sunday papers. To those inclosing a stamp Seaman is answering on a post al card, making one cent on each ap plicant. A few years ago an Indian on the Coeur d'Alene reservation brought to the reservation two "Belgian hares." Their descendants are now numbered by tens of thousands and they are de vastating the crops of white settlers far and near. To make matters worse, the Indians believe that to kill a rab bit or hare brings bad luck. A stone carving of a grizzly bear In the attitude of defending her cubs has been made by A. C. Thompson. Seattle, and will be shipped to Alaska, to be placed over the grave? of R. Shadesty, one of the most prominent Indians of the north when alive. He died on De cember 17, 1903, leaving SOOO to pay for the monument. MALARIA??? Generally That Is Not the Trouble. Persons with a susceptibility to ma terial influences should beware of cof fee, which has a tendency to load up the liver with bile. A lady writes from Denver that she suffered for years from chills and fever which at last she learned were mainly produced by tho coffeo she drank. "I was also grievously afflicted with headaches and indigestion," she says, "which I became satisfied were like wise largely due to the coffee I drank. Six months ago I quit its use alto gether and began to drink Postum Food Coffee, with the gratifying result that my headaches have disappeared, my digestion has been restored and I have not had a recurrence of chills and fever for more than three months. I have no doubt that it was Postum that brought me this relief, for I have used no medicine while this improve ment has been going on."(It was really relief from congestion of the liver caused by coffee.) "My daughter has been as great a coffee drinker as I, and for years was atnieted with terrible sick headaches, which oft<°n lasted for a week at a time. She is a brain worker and ex cessive application together with the headaches bejran to affect her memory most seriously. She found no help In medicines and the doctor frankly advised her to quit cofTee and use Postum. "For ipore than four months she ha? rot had a headache her mental facul ties lui \•• grown more actl\«. nn .l vig orous and her memory has been re stored. "No more tea, coffee nr drtiirs for us •o long as wi> c;m get Postum." Nanv given by Postum Co., Hattlo Creek II There's a reason Read th» little (took "The Ruad to Wellvllle" in i»k*» TO INDUCE RESTFUL SLEEP. Both Exercise and Food May Be Looked Upon in the Light of Benefi cial Distractions. When Belinda comes home feeling "too tired to sleep" there is no use in her trying togo to bed at once. Let her take a warm bath, letting the cold water run in until the water becomes cool, then let her slowly go through the many different points of the toilet, manicuring and hair brushing for in stance, so often done in a rush. These help relax and quiet the nerves and can take up an hour's time. Last of all a cup of warm milk with a pinch of salt. Many people, this applies particu larly to men, suffer from sleeplessness because they are not properly nour ished. Exhausted or irritated and ex cited nerves need nourishing. A bite of light and easily digested food will not keep one awake —on the contrary, it is often just what is needed to in duce sleep. Sleep will not come to the brain that is worrying or even to the brain that A SOOTHING CUP OF MILK. is busy with the thoughts of "How shall 1 make myself fall asleep?" Take the mind off the desired outcome ond center it on directing bodily move ments, inducing the bodily fatigue by tiring the muscles. It sounds as if it would take forever, but it doesn't. Just try it. The first time you feel as if you would never be able to fall asleep Btretch yourself out while in bed. arms above the head, muscles tense and stretched to their utmost. Stiffen leg and arm muscles and feel as much as possible as you do when stretching in the morning. Relax completely and try again. Stretch the limbs in diflierent directions. For instance, put the arms \ out in front. You will speedily find | yourself yawning comfortably and you | probably won't need togo through any more exercises, being by now quite too sleepy to do so, but the other move ments are equally good. Lie on your i back and pull the knees up. Inhale | deeply while doing this. While the j breath is retained stiffen and stretch | the muscles, making the body as tense as possible. Now relax slowly and J thoroughly beginning with the muscles I of the neck, arms and back; exhale at J the same time. It is usually the neck that is so tense and rigid that very nervous people feel as if they were holding their heads on by main force. These stretching exercises will speedily teach one how to relax one's hold on one's own tense muscles, which is the very first thing to learn for those who suffer from insomnia.

This Age Has Seemed an Appalling One, But the Middle of Things the Best of All. This title Is more feared by women than it deserves, says a writer in a London periodical devoted to feminine interetts. The middles of things are j really the best if they could only rea- ! lize it; beginnings and endings are full J of fear and dread. Still, when that ' ominous number 40 is in sight, what tremors it sends through the feminine , heart —40, and the be3t half of life gone! STiall wonder that so many make a stand at 35 and refuse to advance, j calling in science and art to aid in"re- s storing the edifice." The sweet wrin kled old face, carrying its life's story, is already as extinct as the Dodo. Nature is a kindly mother and keeps many compensations for her ugly ducklings. Mind has a beauty all its own. The brainy woman must, however, be clever enough to keep her brains out of sight if she wishes to ba a so cial success, and to remember at the same time that pos'-meridian charms will rot be enhanced by untidy habits of dress. She will do well to study the rise and fall of the sleeve as well as that of the Dutch republic. Never for getting a dainty frill or furbelow or any of the little courtesies of life; j these are the qualities that bring her : smilingly through every social ordeal. . I do not wish to belittle the average | woman minus charm and that saving grace, a sense of humor; she is the backbone of society, a canal as com pared to a rushing, sparkling river. It is the depths and unsuspected shallows that are so enthralling. The unknown is always interesting. It is that very quality of certainty about the average woman that is so appalling. The one quality most desirable In a ! woman in this restless twentieth cen tury, and about the hardest to find, is repose. It has been so drilled into us in youth that idle hands find the In evitable mischief that few of us know how to be idle without serious qualms of conscience. A VERY PRETTY BORDER. This Form of Ornamentation Is Re vived from Days When Cross- Stitch Was in Highest Favor. There are many articles that are im proved by being ornamented with a border of this kind, such, for instance, | as the ends of towels, sideboard cloths morning aprons, etc.; the work may be ■ ' ' ''''' ■-A CROSS AND ITALIAN STITCH. done in ingrain cotton, washing silk or (lax thread. In cases where the ma- ! terial to be ornamented has a smooth surface, of which the threads cannot i be counted, then a soft /canvas can be lacked over it where it is to be orna mented, and the design worked through it; the canvas threads can then bo drawn away when the work is finished. A Fie Party. Invitations for a Pie Party were sent out on triangular pieces of card- j board to six couples, all intimate j friends. When the guests arrived the men were auctioned off by the host, who was exceedingly clever. The "Doctor" was introduced on the bloc* in this manner: "A man often want ed, though much addicted to the bot- j tie." The bidding was fast and furious until 25,000 beans brought the man to liis purchaser. The coal dealer was described as "the man we think about when the snow Hies." When all had secured partners the ladies were given pieces of pie made froiff two pieces of paper pie plates (such as bakers use), fastened together with ribbon. The tilling was a piece of paper bearing the words "Cherry," "Mince," "Apple," "Custard." Whatever pie was desig nated the man had to give a recipe for it, while the lady made it in pan- j tomime. This was most amusing. For J refreshments all lUnds of pie were served, with coffee and sandwiches. Perspiration of the Hands. The following recipe is for ing perspiration, and may be just what you need: Spring water, two ounces; diluted sulphuric acid, 40 drops; compound j spirits of lavender, two drams. Take a teaspoonful twice a day. The | external recipe may relieve the situa tion without the above internal rem edy: Salicylic acid, two drams; impure carbonate of zinc, three ounces. Dust | over the surface. Good Skin Food. While wax, one ounce; spermaceti, one ounce; lanoline, 'wo ounces; sweet almond oil, four ounces; cocoanut oil, iwo ounces; tincture of benzoin, 30 drops; orange flower water, two ounces. Melt the first five ingredients to gether. Take off the fire and beat until nearly cold, adding little by little the benzoin and lastly the orange flower water. To Fatten tho Hands.

THE ROAD OF ANTHRACITE 1 Popular Because of Its Superb Serv ice. NO n.UI.Rouj LX THE WOULD offers to the traveler a more picturesque route than the Lackawanna Railroad. Leaving New York the train crosses the far-famed .Jersey meadows into the high lands of New Jersey. Skirting the Dela ware River the journey lies directly through the Delaware Water Gap, one <if the most I noted scenic views in tho world. Thence | tn ttie summit of the I'ocono Mountains, 2,IKK) feet above the level of the sea, the I train rushes into Scranton, beyond which j another mountain range is passed before I Binghamton is reached. Here the road I skirts the beautiful Susquehanna River, | running from there uito the valley of the I Chemung River and then into that of | the Genesee. The entire journey lies j I through a continuous panorama of rip- j pling brooks, leaping cataracts, towering ; mountains and hill-shadowed lakes, which | for diversity of interest and beauty of landscape is not equaled anywhere on the | American continent. HITMAN INGENUITY can do no more for the protection of trains than is furnished by the signal sys tem in operation upon tlie haekawanna Railroad. Brightly painted semaphores by ; day end colored lights by night flash their j : warning to the swift-flying trains, 'these j i signals divide the line into blocks, ami no j train is permitted to enter them until j preceding trains have passed out of way. Where diverging tracks are met, a system { of interlocking switches makes the danger of accident impossible. Crossings, grades j i and curves are protected by the most j ' modern equipment for the safety of trains, j I If for any reason this wonderful mechan- } | ism fails to work, signals are automatically | set at "danger." and not a wheel moves j until the trouble is ascertained. HARD COAL IS CBED ' exclusively on all passenger trains of the ' Lackawanna Railroad. This is of peculiar interest to the traveler over its line, tor the 400 miles of beauty lying between New York and Buffalo may be viewed through ( open windows, without danger from flying > cinders or annoying smoke. The roadbed | being rock-ballastcil, there is no dust, and the comforts of the journey are further | assured by superb l'ullman ears and high- ! backed airy coaches. "OHDEK wu AT Ton WANT; ' pay only for what you order." is the npt [ i phrase which describes the dining-car sys- | tern on the Lackawanna Railroad. Meals | : are a la carte, which means that the trav- ] ! eler who does not care to order an elabo- j ' rate repast may make individual selection from tiie menu. The cars are stocked with , the choicest things a great market like j New York affords, while fruit, milk, j cream, eggs and similar articles are se- j cured fresh every day from the vast dairy ; and agricultural region through which tin road iuns. All through trains carry dm-1 ing-eavs, whose management is under the : direct control of the company.

Frau Gnauck-Kitchne is one of the j greatest German authorities on the mod- j I cm feminist movement, and after mature | ! study and the collection of statistics she j j has come to the conclusion that the | ' superfluity of women in so many huropean j ! countries is a fact which i i the tirst place : is in no sense an evil, ard in the second ! place is rapidly disappe .ring. In another twenty years, she believes, | the tide will begin to •.mil the other way i and the men will be in the majority even in Mich countries as England and Ger- . many, where at the present time women j imm.' isely predominate. Some of her ! statistics* are most interesting. In Lux- | embonrg, for example, in IS9O there were j 1.002 women for every 1,000 men. There ! are now only 999. In Australia the pro portion has been reduced m the same time from 1.014 to 1,035, in Hungary from 1,015 to 1,009, in Switzerland from 1.057 to 1.035, in Sweden from 1.065 to 1.049, in Germany from 1.040 to 1,032, in England from 1,1,55 to 1.047. She does not believe that any European nation except Russia will long ! continue to increase rapidly in proportion. ■ England has lietrun to follow the example \ of I'r.ince and Germany will certainly fol low England's footsteps. In ;dl "advanced" European states the birth rate is either becoming stationary, ! or begins to show a backward tendency, j SeeP "Why do you call him a worldly man?"

Japanese Medical Co. ROCHESTER, N. Y. ' BOY'S TERRIBLE ECZEMA. 1 Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts j —Hands Pinned Down—Mirac ulous Cure by Cuticura. "When my little bov was BIS months old, he bad eczema. The sores extended so quickly over the whole body that we at once called in the doctor. We then went to another doctor, but lie could not help him, and in our despair we went to a third one. Matters became so bad that ' lie had regular holes in his checks, large enough to put a finger into. The food had to be given with a s, oon, for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as a finger, and whenever he opened the mouth they began to bleed and suppurate, as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest, and back, in short tha whole body, >vas covered over ai.d over. We had no rest iby day or night. Whenever he was laid ; in his bed, we iiad to pin his hands down; i otherwise lie would scratch his face, and i make an open sore. I think his face must j have itched most fearfully. "We finally thought nothing could help, and I had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to iiurope, hoping that the sea air might cure him, otherwise he was to be put under good medical care there. But, Lord be biased, matters came differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A | friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We j made a trial with Cuticura Soap, Oint- J ment, and Resolvent, and within ten days ; |or two weeks we noticed a decided im j prowment.
