Iu Sweden doctors uever send bills to their patients, but trust entirely to their generosity. Each family has an attending physi cian, who expects them to pay him by the year for his services, iiccerdinj: to their wealth and the amouut of attention they have re ceived. Ten dollars a year in our money is a good fee. One hun dred dollars a year is princely, says a writer in the Chicago Ki'cord-llerald. At Hie beginning of the year wn0 has money feels that if he you put the amount in an envelope does not comply with their de aud send it to the doctor by a I mauds he will hav 5 his property messenger with your card. lie destroyed and in this way lose a .sends back his card with acknowl- ffreat deal more in a single day edgement of thanks and the com- pli mouts of the season. It is very bad form to talk about it, although grateful patieuts often write their physicians alTectiouate letters of gratitude for his devotion and the ! benefit he tas brought them. It is a good deal like the relation be tween a minister and his parish ioners iu other countries, and the annual contribution for the sup port of the doctor is just as volun- tary as the contribution to the i treasury i.f the chord, iftw. I is any reason why one should feel i grateful to the doer,,,- if hi oh. dreu have su ITered a severe illness j and the doctor has pulled them ! through, ho expects a present in ' addition to the annual honorarium j just as you would send the miu-, ister a present after a marriage I or a funeral or some other special ! occasion at which his services were required. The amount you pay depends upon your ability and the value of his services, but it is a violation of tho most sacred canon of pro fessional etiquette for a doctor to ask compensation or question the amount he receives. lie keeps no ! accounts of his visits and no books. If a stranger or an ac quaintance who does not contrib ute regularly makes a call br two upon the doctor and asks for his advice or a prescription he leaves something on the table, but it would be equivalent to an insult if he should ask for a bill. When a person is very sick he is taken to a hospital. Sweden has some of tho best hospitals iu the world. His own doctor looks after him there, assisted by the house physician and nurses, who exjH.'ct fees, but the regular doc tor gets none. 1 le supervises the treatment and acts as medical ad viser to the houso physician. The government pays subsidies to doctors in remote parts of the country, just as it pays the sala ries of the ministers where the people aro so poor that they can not supoi t a doctor and a par son., In fact, all clergymen of the established church aie paid by the government and are gov ernment officials. The members of their parishes give thern pres ents, something ou the donation party order, because tho salaries are small, and if there happen to be rich men iu the parish it is the custom to send around a hand some present to the minister's w ife or to himself ou Christmas Day. Polev's Honev mnd Tnr tor chUdren.sate.sure, No opiates, ' Bandits Swarm in Cuba. Handitry in Cuba is toall intents I and purposes a well-recognized profession. They have a habit of holding up jieople of ineaua that diftiers in some respects from the mode of tho Italian brigands, but leads to tho same results. A man who has lived in Cuba nearly all his life states that it is in large partduethemoueyedmen themselves that tribute is paid to gangs of robbers, who have a polite way of doing things. This gentleman said: "I know of one man in the pro vince of Cienfuegos who has been compelled to pay vast sums an nually iu order to prevent the destruction of his property. This money has been paid to a man who figured prominently in the last revolution and who has a plan all of his own for forcing money from wealthy people. This man, who makes the collections, is sup posed to have a large following in that province, and for this reason it is an easy matter for him to intimidate those who feel that they have not the protection which the law should give. "lie will go to the owner of a large plantation and ask to borrow $j00 or $1000 for a few weeks. The owner of the plantation knows that it is useless to refuse, and he knows, too, that the money paid out in this way will never be paid back to him. It is tribute which he feels he must give to those who are supposed to ha.'e influence because of their connection with the late revolution. The money is paid without a protest, and it is not long before an other request for fuuds is made. "It is largely due to the lack of j moral courage on the part of those I who are held up that these ban- dits, for such they are, are able to j continue their work. The man or fight than he will be asked to j pay the bandits in a lifetime. If I the property owners would get j - o- a. ii. ji . i, i ' togeuier ana reiuse me aemauas i of .these scoundrels thev would I have some chance of putting an id to their work. "But thev are afraid to dn anv- thing, and for this lack of confi-! dence which they have iu those who are entrusted with enforcing I the law thev must nav a tribute. ' . This is what makes the life of a Cuban bandit such a Drosnerous i one. Of course the men who hold I up property owners in this wav I icrty owners in this way 1 onsider themselves ban l onsiuer uiemsuves Dan , n fact, they are never ; do not consider dits. I afraid of the law, as they operate m a waY to keep on the safe side, They do not make any threats. s not necessary for them to do j so for is understood by the man ! who is held up that they will do him injury if he does not comply j with their demands." The story of the man quoted above is doubtless a true version j of the matter. But it is a fact, I too, that there are bandits in Cuba . who operate in a manner which j brings tliem more closely under the definition of the term bandits. These bandits have been operat ing iu Cuba to some extent during the last year, and it appears that they are increasing rather than diminishing. This is true largely to the utter inefficiency of the rural guards in the past. Chica go Chronicle. Saved His Life. "I wish to say that I feel I owe my life to Kodol DyspepsiaCuro," writes II. C. Chrestenson of Hay field, Minn. "For three years I was troubled with dyspepsia so that I could hold 'nothing on my stomach. Many times I would be unable to retain a morsel of food. Finally I was confined to my bed. Doctors said I could not live. I read one of your adver tisements on Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and thought it fit my case and commenced its use. I began to improve from the first bottle. Now I am cured and recommend it to all." Digests your food. Cures all stomach troubles. An Albany woman whodeclares that she is young, not afraid of work and good looking has asked Mayor Harrison of Chicago, to find a husband for her. She is on the wrong track. She should try advertising. Lots of able- bodied men are looking for just BUCn a wif- She could have her Pck of a thousand. Butchering the Family Port Drive hogs the evening before killing day into a small pou; give no feed or water. After the hanging pole, scalding barrel or vat and scaffold have been placed in shape and a kettle containing thirty or more gallons of water is heated to near the boiling point if there are three men to do the butchering, kill two or three pigs at a time by stunning them thor oughly with the back of an axe or light sledge removed from the pen, place them one at a time squarely on tne back, an attend ant holding the fore legs in a nat ural position (don't pull the legs back nor be in a hurry, as, if the pig is well stunned, the blood col lects near the heart). The shar pened knife is inserted carefully so as to enter the vital place through the small oritice (noc larger than a dollar), and if done right will prevent any cougulation of blood on the shoulders and the chime, which prevents perfect curing of the meat. While the pigs are bleeding and beiug brought to the barrel (don't drag or handle before dead as it causes the skin to get red), remove five buckets of boiling water to a live gallon barrel; add one and one third buckets of cold water and a pint of unleachod ashes. Scald the rear of the carcass until hair slips on legs; while head is scald ing, jjlaco second pig crosswise ou scaffold near the barrel, which answers as a roller to pull first pig out of barrel. Proceed with second pig by placing head iu first; for third pig remove about three gallons from barrel and add from kettle same quantity of boiling water, water, which will raise temperature just right. While first two or three pigs are j being scraped, hung and thor-' oughly washed with hot and then cold water, the water must be re moved from the barrel to heater, when you proceed to slay the next lot.

Trial bottles I Jots on Letter Writing. It is a blessed thing to be able to write, but it is wisdom to real-. ize how very important and alto-! gether different is the written from the spoken word. Women write voluminously; i men with caution; young women, I especially those who are separat-; ed from their "future," often err both in epistolary quantity and quamy. Upon every dainty desk might be the word"Caution. " In every j letter it is needed. There is urj ! i iiupueu uisirusi in ueing carelul. News of mutual friends should be given with great care as to re liability. Friendship is often shattered by mail. The girl who writes a practical business letter is as rare as a flawless emerald unless she is a ! business woman, which is differ-ent-but every womau should know how, and be able to help her male relatives if required. The postoffiee authorities only can estimate the carelessness of women in sealing and addressing letters. To permit one's corres pondents to pay postage for one's letters is not tho right thing by any means. A Woman's Awful Peril. "There is only ono chance to save your life and that is through an ojieration," were tho startling words heard by Mrs. I.

P. tells of meeting Sir Chi Chen, afterward tho Chinoso embassador to London, in Tientsin when the latter was plain Mr. Lo Feng Lull, an under secretary of state in tho entourage of tho viceroy of the province, Li Hung Chang. "My own mission was to the 'liisniarek of China,' as tho ono statesman in faroff Cathay was known at the time, which was before the fall," savs the writer, "and Mr. Lo Feng I;iih had been deputized to servo me in the double capacity of cicerone and inter preter. "Wo sat sipping tea in tho long wait which in Chinese court lifo fol lows the announcement of your name and precedes your reception, mid is supposed to deepen your re spect for the great man of whom you have sought an audience and to deaden in yourself any lingering consciousness of British superiority. Then it was that Mr. Lo Feng Luh suddenly opened up his battery of questions and criticism upon the leading men of letters, philosophers and theologians of Kuropc. I lis in quiries were not, indeed, of the alumni of one nation, but of many, and when he had done with Spen cer, Huxley, Darwin, the Eliza bethan poets, tho theology of Dol linger, the writing of Comte, the plays of Moliere, ho wafted his wny to America and was promptly at home with Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Russell Lowell and the funny stories of Mr. "Chauncey Depew." The Sargasso Sea. The Sargasso sea is a region In the Atlantic about midway between southern Kuropc and America, ex tending from 21 to 23 degrees north latitude and between 20 and 45 de jrrces west longitude. It derived its nanio from a Portuguese word sig nifying a grape, and wns so called because the seaweeds characteristic of the region bear on their branches small air cells, which in shapo are not unlike the grape clusters. The weeds themselves arc among tho most peculiar of vegetable produc. tions, since they have no roots nor any signs of fructihcation and aro propagated by division. They float in the water, sometimes in dense masses extending for miles. This portion of the Atlantic is a great eddy, little affected by the currents which surround it on every side, and the stillness of the water, it is supposed, has contributed to the development of the weeds in the "- ' vast ouantities in which thev aro i i .... n iounn. a ne noaung masses were noticed by Columbus and his men, to whom they were a source of un easiness, us tho sailors supposed they indicated shallow water. De tached masses of tho weed aro often seen in the gulf stream, rind tho long, yellow lines of floating weed arc a sure indication of its close proximity. Power and Nose. A large nose is always on unfail- ing sign of a decided character. It belongs to the man of action, quick uciongs to tne man ot action, q to Be and to seize .opportunity, small nose indicates a passive tur0j ono lcss npt to aUhc A na- oueh lie may feel as deeply. Ho will I hnvo mnnv fhnnrina u-hiln in tum. sessor of a largo nose will have deeds to show. Persons with small roses aro most loving and sympa- thizing, but their friendship is not lnu active kind A nose with tho tip slightly tilted is the sign of the heartless flirt. A I long nose shows dignity and repose. a short nose, nurnmeitv n,i lnv of gavety. An arched nose one projecting at tho bridge shows thought. A straight nose shows an inclination toward serious subjects. A noso that turns up slightly indi cates eloquence, wit and imagina tion. If turned up much, it show egotism and lovo of luxury. A nose that slopes out directly from tho forehead, that shows no indenting between the eyes, indicates power. If tho noso is indented deeply at the loot, tho subject will ho weak and vacillating. A noso that turns down signifies that the possessor is miserly and sarcastic. Ladies' Homo Journal. A Bold "Ad." As may bo supposed, tho largest advertisement in tho world is that of an American firm. But the giant "ad." is not in America. Far olf across the rolling deep it is spread along the face of a cliff on one of the islets of tho Canary group, so that all passing steamers may sight it and .their passengers have tho benefit of its advice. The whole frentenco is 750 feet long and is painted on the cliff at a height of !i00 feet from the waves. There are four words in letters each 30 feet Idgh and 75 feet wide. The huge sign cua he seen for miles at sea op a cleai day. The boldness of the thing almost takes uway any anger which ono may feel at the disfigure ment of tho islet by this hit of com mercial enterprise. The residents of Fairfield town ship, Westmoreland county are greatly excited over the discovery of gas on tho farm of Jacob West near Bolivor, by tho Johnstown Oil company, while sinking test well in that community. It is as serted that the drills were blown out the hole and tho gas bursted out with a terrific roar. The far mers predict a second Murrys villo boom. Tour Column.

Tho barn of Mrs. Rebecca Ol iver, near Hancock, was burned to tjie ground Monday evening of last week. The tire was discov ered by tho family, who were sit ting in the houso. When discov ered the whole building was ablaze and efforts to put the fl: o out were useless. As no one hat' been to the barn for some time it is supposed the building was set on lire. Twenty tons of hay, three loads of fodder and a carri age also burned. The loss is about -2,000. Tho "barn was in sured for If 1,000 and the contents for 200. An Evangelist's Story. "I suffered for years with a bronchial or lung trouble and tried various remedies but did not obtain permanent relief until I commenced using One Minute Cough Cure," writes Rev. James Kirk man, evangelist of Uelle Riv er, 111. "I have no hesitation in recommending it to all sufferers from maladies of this kind." One Minuto Cough Cure affords im mediate relief for coughs, colds and all kinds of throat and lung troubles. For croup it is un equalled. Absolutely safo. Very pleasant to take, never fails 'and is' really a favorito with tho chil dren. They liko it. Ask yourself if it is a tangible! danger you fear, or if it is simply ! night itself. Sloep in cither case ' with a low Hhaded light in youi i room. Satisfy your mind that you have no reason to bo afraid, by that investigation of closets ! and the limbo under the bed at , which tho bravo aro inclined to laugh. Exert your will to con- j quer this bondage, and also say ! your prayers and tako comfort iu knowing that God hears you. The darkness and the light aro both alike to him. Margaret E.

In Russia wives are very much iu subjection to their husband.:. Iu a circulated book written by the Russian priest, Pope Sylves ter, who lived in tho sixteenth century, corporal punish moot is advocii.ted, not only ou account of its religious propriety, but also as of benefit to their health. What the women may think of it is another matter, but cortaiuly the Russian branch of tho Greek Church seems to think that if you spare tho rod you spoil tho wife. Until recent years a rod or whip has formed part of the bride's ; trousseau, and in some districts j her lirst wifely duty was to hum bly remove her husband's boots, iu one of which she found a whip. A custom which obtained iu other parts of the country was for the bridegroom to give the bride a light blow as he took her from her fathor's house, saying: "Now you must forgot the ways of your own family and learn those of mine." To quarrel by mail is the height of folly. Goods Everyday Pants, 50, 75, and $1.00. Dress Pants, $1.00 to J2.75. Men's Underwear, 25, 4, mid 9H cents.
