DRUMMER WAS POOR ADVISER.
Fat il Flaw In Prescription for Cure of
Rheumatism.
"Speaking of rheumatism," said the
drummer as he sagely shook his head,
"I had a brother who was afflicted
with It for six years. He tried half a
dozen different doctors and went to
half a dozen different springs, but he
found no relief. At length he deter
mined to try heroic measures. That
Is, I advised him to do something In
that direction ns a forlorn hope, nnd
thought the tip a good one." .
"What did he try?" was asked.
"He went Into a pasture and faced
a bull that had tossed half a dozen
men sky-high. Wo figured that when
the bull started for him with head
down and tall up the scare would
drive the rheumatism out nnd he
would strike a 2:40 gait for the fence."
"And how did .it work?"
"Three minutes after the bull
caught sight of Charley his rheuma
tism was gone, never to return."
"You don't say!"
"But I do, and Charley was gone
with It. He never knew how high ho
went when the bull got his horns un
der him, and he never knew what a
hole he made In the ground when he
came doun."
"Then your your advice "
"Was the worst thing he could have
followed, sir, and it was a great moral i
lesson to rre. Since that time I have
made it a practice to drink alone In
stead of advising or encouraging a fel
low man to wreck his soul, and as this
is my usual time for taking a cocktail
you gentlemen will please excuso mo
for five minutes."

Bread dyspepnin Is common It af
ftets the bowels because white bread
Is uearly all starch, nnf starch is di
Sested iu the lutfatlues, not iu the

Up under the Uiell of the wheat
berry Nature has provided a curious
deposit which is turned into diastase
heu it is subjected to the sallvr. nud
to the pancreatic Juices iu the human
Intestine.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it luto grape
sugar, which Is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, rr nature's val
uable digester is thrown out and the
bumuu system must handle the starch
a best it cau. without the help that
Nature inteuded.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, eonstlpatiou, and all sorts of
trouble exist when we go so contrary
to Nature s iuw. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made une iu their experi
uients of the entire wheat aud bnrley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long contluued
warmth, which allow time and the
proper conditions for developing the
dlastaa?, outside of the bumau body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar la a perfectly
natural manner, without the use of
chemicals or any outside lugredlents.
The little sparkling crystal of grape
. sugar cau be seen on the pieces of
Urape-Nuts. This food therefore it
naturally pre-dlgested and its use iu
place of bread will quickly correct the
trouble that have been brought about
by the too free use of starch la the
food, aud that is very common In the
human race to-day.
The effect of eating Urape-Nuts ten
days or two week and the discontin
uance of ordinary white bread, is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly 111
strength and physical and mental
health.

R. G. Dim & Co.'i weekly review of
trade says:
"Domestic industrial condition arc
greatly improved by the anthracite coal
settlement and the resumption of traffic
on the lakes, while the international
situation is much 'brighter now that the
French elections have passed without a
serious outbreak. Foreign conditions are
of unusual importance to business in
terests in the United States owing to
the present close relations of the money
markets. Trices of securities have re
covered part of the recent loss, and heavy
imports of gold have nt least tempo
rarily relieved the financial stringency.
Manufacturing plants operate close t
their full capacity, with orders in tht
steel industry already running well into
19x17, and structural work was never
more active. Dun's index number of
commodity prices or May 1, was $106,
059, against $106,066 a month previous,
the slight decline being supplied by dairy
and garden products, but compared with
the level of all quotations a year age
there is an advance of 8.7 per cent. Rail
way earnings thus far available for April
show a gain of 9.7 per cent, over the
previous year. Mercantile conditions are
still somewhat irregular, but show a
slight improvement on the whole."

ihe Awkward Ace,
There is no more difficult creatmv
fo clothe fitly than the maiden of indefi
nite nge who has left her low-belted
frocks and loose-flowing yoke dresses
behind, but has not yet attained to the
dignity of tight fitting garments. Fluffy
simplicity, so to speak, should bo aimed
nt, any tendency to severity of outline
being extremely unbecoming to the un
formed figure. At the same time un
due fusslness should be likewise avoid
ed, and all the little etceteras such as
belts, collars, tics, and so forth should
be of scrupulous neatness.
The Brld'Ylt.
Ilnrper's Bazar, the acknowledged
authority on fashions, good form and
entertainment, announces the adoption
of the tulle veil Instead of the old-fashioned
lnce veil for brides. The reason
for this, the Bazar explains, is that a
grandmother' or mother' wedding
veil is not always a thing of Joy to deal
with, even when the lace is exceeding
ly beautiful. Its folds sometimes hang
in too stiff lines, or it Is of a shape or
length alruoRt impossible to drape be
comingly. The tulle veil, on the con
trary, can be most easily arranged nnd
made becoming, while, if desired. It
may be bordered with handsome lace.
Fnblle Klnlng- In DUf&Tor.
No wonder the much-made-up beau
ties of to-day no longer kiss one anoth
er in public, for complexions are not to
be trifled with, and such osculations
sometimes prove damaging to "peaches
nnd cream" and the nut-brown tint so
fashionable at present. There are
three reasons for the passing of this
custom. One is that the exaggerated
lints many women wear are likely to
come in collision, to the damage of
roses and paradise plumes ns well as to
wearers' tempers. Then the elaborate,
gauzy neckpieces are crushed easily
and lose their pristine freshness. Third,
flowing veils become a tangled mass
of chiffon or net, and the large velvet
spots, with too rough treatment, easily
become defnehed. All theRe points
Iiave so nffected feminine nerves that
the manly handshake has "come In."

3wfit For Children.
The old theory that sugar is deleter
ions for children is now exploded, the
latest dictum of food specialists being
that it is a food especially adapted to
children, because of their great activ
ity, snys an exchange. The amount of
sugar to be given nnd the form in
which it is to be supplied nre still ques
tions of much importance. Until u
child reaches its second year the natur
al sugar in the milk supplies all that is
necessary, but after that sweets of a
wholesome nature eaten at regular
meals ore considered tieneflcinl. Most
people still agree that stignr should not
bo used with the breakfast mush or
porridge or wheat or ontmenl, but is
better furnished In slmplo puddings,
custards, cookies, loaf sugar or home
made candy. Sweet fruits, such ns tigs
nnd dates, are exceeoingly wholesome,
nnd should be freely furnished. New

Women In rame
Like the diirk ages, almost, reems a
condition like thnt i: France, for ex
ample, where a married woman has
no legal right to the money which she
herself lins earned. Iu 18!)d the Cham
ber of Deputies passed a law doing
women some incomplete, obvious and
tardy Justice, but the Seunte Commit
tee never made its report. It was only
ten years ago, to bo sure, that the law
reached its present state in the United
States, eight years in Sweden, seven in
Denmark and six in Germany and Bel
glum, and yet already any other condi
tion seems incredible. To-day a woman
even in Turkey, Persia, Kgypt, Mo
rocco, Tunis, Algiers and Iiulgaiin has
Juster property rights thau she enjoys
in highly civilized France, which holds
1,OU,000 women who nre earning sal
aries or wages. Iu this matter, ns
throughout Kurope gener-.lly in mnt
ters bearing directly on human wel
fare, it is the radical group alone
which nre pressing forward townrd
the goal of Justice and happiness for

the Sorlionne and the College de

look after the dubious precisely a

Letter iu the Boston Transcript.
Ifontekeeplnc lemnd Intellect.
The rbilnnderer has lately encoun
tered a mother who, passing through a
valley of experience in invalidism, bat
teRted to the remotest crevice all the
bitter meanings of the word, so singu
larly expressive, in-valid. During hei
hard term of seeming uselessness 11
became needful that her college-bred
daughter should take up those reins ol
government, previously held in the
mother' quietly competent hands. No
wrinkles of maladministration had ever
shown on the polished surface of that
home, say Good Housekeeping. Here
had been, apparently, an instnnce'of
home-making and house-keeping ac
complished as it were effortlessly, with
the left hand, the tips of the fingers.
A light task it seemed, lightly carried
and with no sign of braln-tnx or test,
in the process. So for years had the
home run; why should it not run ou
now as easily, as gracefully?
A a matter of fact it did but nt the
price. The pound of flesh that the
home asks of its maker is not taken
without Its red blood tax ou life, on
brain, on heart. A the days passed
the young housekeeper found with sur
prise that no particle of the mental
drill she had learned, the higher train
ing in thought which the had enjoyed,
was left uncnlled for to maintain the
old home standards. Thus applying
her now equipment, the new regime
difTercd only in non-essentials from the
old.
"But did you never before think that
It took brains to keep a house?" asked
the mildly triumphant mother, proud
of the daughter, of the home she main
tained, of the old order unchanged.
"It takes intellect. That's what I
have learned," was the brief and perti
nent answer.
How Lowell Picked a Wife.
Mrs. Caroline II. Dnll sends to tho
Springfield Ilepubllcan a letter, not be
fore published, written by James Rus
sell Lowell, telling how he hnppened
to pick out his second wife. "You will
be astonished," he wrote, "but not more
than I myself. During the years thnt
Miss Dunlap bad had the care of Mabel
(the child of his first wife, Who died
early) no thought of marriage hud en
tered my head. Not long ago she had
taken Siabel to walk. They had wan
dered happily, till, to Miss Dunlap's
horror, tho warm afternoon turned
chilly, and she found herself too far
from heme nnd beyond help. I hnd
grown nnxious for the delicate child,
nnd I stnrted to find them. Imagine
my surprise when I finally reached
them, still too far away, to see Mabel
astride upon her friend's shoulders,
and that friend walking with painful
slowness! 'As I took the child into my
arms I broke into angry reproach that
Miss Dunlap should have exposed her
own health to such a strain. 'I should
have done it if it hnd killed me,' she
replied. 'It was my own fault. I
must take the consequences.' I shall
never forget the proud dignity of her
speech. I saw that this woman ought
to be my child's mother." If the at
mosphere had suddenly become very
warm we could appreciate the wisdom
of picking up the delicate child and
letting her ride plgback, but since It
"turned chilly," there seems to be suf
ficient reason for suspecting that it
would hnve been better to let ltttlo
Mabel walk. She would have been
obliged to walk, anyway, if the exer
tion really had killed Miss Dunlnp.
Fortunately, the "consequences" were
marriage instead of dentil, despite tho
fact that when the poet "finally
reached them" they were "still too fur
away." And they lived happily ever
after!
I the Home PeMlnsV
Writers 011 domestic economy hnve
of Into been inquiring into the problem
ns to whether the Ameticnu home is
passing away. According to one critic,
houses are now too often simply shel
ter where families sleep, have a scan
ty breukfast, a more or less comfort
able late dinner, and where letters and
laundry are delivered. Beyond these
conveniences, it is alleged, it is tho Idea
of everybody, including tho servants,
to get out of them, to flee from tho
household centre. Perhaps this pic

At present theso matter refer only
to a certain class of restless persons
who do uot cure for tho trouble of en- f
tertaining. Too often Is the drudgery
of housekeeping distasteful to the mod
ern housewife, moving her to seek ro
lief from these cares which were borne
patiently by the old-fashioned mothers.
Many of the women of to-day, it la

' Judging by former standards, there

New Hampshire Man Stuck to Letter
of the Deed.
There are some literal minded per
sons who are never satisfied with the
spirit of the law, but who consider it
necessary to enter Into compromises
with tho letter. Of such was an old
citizen of Hopklnton, N. H., a good
mnny years ago, nnd his Juggling with
his conscience is recorded by Mr. Lord
In the records of the town.
The old man used to boast thnt he
never went back on his exact word,
hut had no compunction in going
round It. Once he wished to buy a
certain trnct of land, and when the
owner named the price he exclaimed:
"I won't give it! I tell you I will
never give it!"
The owner did not yield, r.cverthe
ess. A few days afterward the old
man called nealn. He said nothing
about tho land, but stepped into the
owner's barn nnd picked up a flail.
"What's that?" he asked.
"That? Oh. that's a fln!l."
"So you call thnt a flail, do you?
Well, what wotiid you take for it?"
Tho owner nan.ed a very small sum.
"Now. I ll tell you what I'll do,"
continued the old man. "I'll give you 1
the price you mentioned for your land
nnd this flail. And you musn't forget
the flail. It must be included in the
doed."
So the legal instrument was duly
made out, sljrned and delivered, re

Famouo Missionary Ship.
After being used for eighteen
months among the Mlcroneslan group
of Islands in the South Sea the fam
ous missionary Ishlp Morr.lng Star
has been taken to Honolulu, where
she will be sold nt auction.
The Morning Star was bought by
the pennies of Sunday School chil
dren throughout the country. Her
cost 'was $40,000. The steamer was
originally the Shoe City, running be
tween Boston nnd Lynn.
Eighteen months ago the Morning
Star sailed from Boston with a party
of missionaries bound for the South
Sea Islands. After landing the peo
plo the Bteamer wns employed carry
ing supplies from the various islands
and missionary stntinns nnd nlso in
carrying native children to the Christ
Inn schools. There are few vessels
nfloat so well known to seamen as the
"Preacher Ship," ns she was named.
The reason for selling the ship is
stnted to be the cost of operating her.

An old proverb advises the shoe
maker to stick to his last. It menus
that a man always succeeds best nt
the business he knows. To the fanner
It means, stick to your plow; to the
blacksmith, stick to your forge; to the
painter, stick to your brush. When we
make experiments out of mir line they
tiro likely to prove expensive failures.
It is amusing, however, to remark
how every one of us secretly thinks lie

painter Imagines h- can make paint
belter than the paint manufacturer;
the .farmer thinks he can do a Job of
painting better, or at least cheaper
than the painter, and so ou.
A farm hand In one of Octave
Thnuet'B stories tells the Walking Del
egate of the Painters' I'liion, "Any
body can slather paint;" nnd tho old
line painter tells the paint salesman,
"None of your ready made mixtures
for me; I reckon I ought to know how
to mix paint."
The farm hand Is wrong and the
painter is wrong: "Shoemaker, stick
to your last." The "fancy farmer"
can farm, of course, but It Is an ex
pensive amusement. If it strikes him
is pleasant to grow strawberries at
fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs
that cost hi 111 five dollars a dozen, it
Is a form of amusement, to be sure, If
he can afford It, but it's not farming.
If n farmer likes to slosh around with
a pnlnt brush and can afford the time
nud expense of having n practical
painter do the Job right pretty soon
afterward, It's 11 harmless form of
Hinusement. If the painter's customers
can afford to stand for paint that
comes off in half the time it should,
they have a perfect right to Indulge
bin harmless vanity about his skill in
paint making. But in none of theso
cases does the shoemaker stick to his
last.
There Is Just one class of men in
the world that knows how to make
pnlnt properly and have the facilities
for doing it right; nnd that is the paint
manufacturer the makers of the
standard brands of ready -prepared
paints. The painter mixes paints; the
paint manufacturer grinds them to
gether. In a good ready-prepared pnlnt
every particle of one kind of pigment
Is forced to Join band with a particle
of another kind and every bit of solid
matter is forced, us it were, to open its
mouth and drink In its share of linseed
oil. That is the only way good paint
run be mode, and if tho painter knew
how to do It he has nothing ot hand to
do It with. A paint pot and a paddle
are a poor substitute for power-mixer,
buhr-milla and rolier-mill. ,
The man Who owns a building and
neglects to palut It as often as It needs
pnlnt Is only a degree inure short
sighted than the one who trie to do
his own painting or allow the painter
to mix hi paint for him. P. Ci.

nnd she is often the brend-wlnner of
the family. Whether she is sick or
well, whether it rains or shines, ahe
must fret to her place of employment,
perform the dutlos exacted of her
smile and be agreeable.
Among this class the symptoms of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part of the
stomach. In consequence of freqnent
wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spoils, with
loss of appetite, until life is a burden.
All these symptoms point to a de
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydla E. 1'inkhaiu'a Vegeta
ble Compound.
Miss Abby F. Barrows, NeUonvIlle,
Athens Co , Ohio, tells what this great
medicine did for her. She writes :
Dear Mr. Plnkham :
"I feel it mr duty to tell you th good

"I nm in hotter health than I ever was,

It is to such girls thnt Mrs. Flnk

tends a cordial invitation to correspond
with her. She is daughter in-law of
Lydla E. Pinkham and for twenty-five
years has been advising sick women
free of charge. Her long record of
success in treating woman's ills makes
her letters of advice of untold value to

Women Urape Pickers,
The women of the grape pickers are
picturesque in California. There !
just a dash of Indian to give color to
the cheek, a touch of Spanish, and
just a suspicion of the old blood that
built the wonderful cities ages ago in
lower Mexico, making a combination
attractive to the lover of the pictur
esque. Dark hair, flashing black eyes.
Intelligent faces, perfect courtesy. In
telligence that but needs suggestion to
lead t'o higher grades, Indeed, one
could not look at these pickers, these
cholos, as the tenderfoot called them,
picking grapes to see that it required
but clothes and environment to make a
remarkable change. Charles Freder
