LISTLESS READING.
Th» Way to Correct This Fault and
Get Beneficial Results.
"Reading can be made a much great
er source of pleasure to those who
now only read when they can find no
other pleasures," said a Columbia uni
versity lecturer on English literature.
"You have perhaps noticed with
what keen sense of satisfaction some
people read the newspapers. Do you
went to know the secret of their abil
ity to extract enjoyment iu this way?
Well, you have probably noticed that
those who can so rivet their attention
to the printed page arc the ones who
make It a point to talk about what
they have read.
"That is the secret. Try it. Read
something, then tell some one about
It. Do this with books as well as with
papers. Soon you will notice that in
reading a story you fix in your mind
the things you want, to relate. You
get the writer's point of view, then
you fix upon the points he has pre
sented.
"At the beginning your story telling
will lack the completeness of the story
as written, and you will notice that
your shortcomings in this direction
nre due to listless reading. This will
correct itself just to the extent of
your ambition to become a reader for
all there is in reading. 1 have given
this bit of advice before and have
N*eu thanked many times by those
Who followed my directions. Try it
anil mark the results."- Exchange.
Husbands to Burn.
The elderly spinster in the rear of
the drawing room car had no more
than settled In her seat when her at
tention was attracted to a woman a
little farther front who was garbed
In the deepest mourning. As Miss
Spinster adjusted her nose grabber
glasses for a better inspection of the
one in widow's weeds she saw the
conductor lean over and converse with
her earnestly for several minutes.
When the conductor got back to her
seat taking the passenger's tickets
Miss Spinster was consumed with cu
riosity about the woman In moorning.
"Conductor," she asked in her sweet
est tones, "what's the trouble with the
lady up there In widow's weeds 7"
"Oh, that's Mrs. Gettem!" replied
the obliging conductor. "She's J oat.
taking her third husband out to a
crematory."
"Oh, how dreadful!" exclaimed MJss
Bptnrter. And then in a faraway voice
she added:
"And just think of It! Here I am
past fifty and never had a husband In
my life, while that woman up there
has them to burn!"— New York Times.
How the Culprit Was Detected.
Of a certain Harrow master whom
Mr. Tollemache In his reminiscences
refers to as Mr. Y. the following story
5s told. Dr. Vaughan was master of
Harrow at the time:
"Mr. Y.—l am sorry, Dr. Vaughan,
to have to report to you two of your
monitors for drinking. Dr. V.-—This is
a very serious charge. When and
where did it happen? Mr. Y.—This
afternoon In a public house iu Pinner.
Dr. V.—Did you catch them flagrante
delicto? Mr. Y. —No. Dr. Vaughan, I
was in my study. Dr. V.—But surely
yon cannot possibly have seen from
your study to Pinner? Mr. Y.—l have
a strong telescope. Dr. Vaughan. Dr.
V.—But how can you tell that it was
not water they were drinking? Mr. Y'.
-—lt was gin and water. I noticed a
•sediment of sugar at the bottom of
their glasses.
Skating.
Skating is believed to have been in
vented iu northern Europe in prehis
toric times. William Fitz-Stepben
speaks of It in London toward the
end of the twelfth century, but it did J
not really catch hold until the cava
liers who had been in exile with
Charles 11. brought it with them from I
Holland. On Dec. l, 1 HdU. Mr. I'epys.
having occasion to cross the park. |
"first in my life, it being a great frost, [
did see people sliding with their j
skates, which is a very pretty art." ;
On the Bth he went purposely to see
the sight and again found it "very
pretty."—London Chronicle.
Works Both Ways.
"So you think it is an advantage to j
a man togo to congress for awhile?" j
"Yes." answered Senator Sorghum, j
"It gives the people In his own town
a chance to think he is a great man in I
Washington and the people in Wash- |
lngton a chance to think he is a great i
man In his own town."-Washington !

Theatrical Novelty.
A new method by which the au- i
dience at a theater can show Its ap- |
proval or disapproval of a play with- j

A One Sided Complaint.
"This is the seventeenth time I've |
seen you before me in the dock," said I
a magistrate, looking at a prisoner
sternly.
"Yes. For eight years now I've seen |
you sitting In the chair, but I've never ■
thought of complaining about It!" re i
piled the prisoner reproachfully.—Lon '

"What sort of man is Jinks?"
"The Impression you get of Jinks de
pends on the circumstances under
which you meet him. If you're there !
to collect money you won't like him
But If you're there to pay money he
teems a lovely character."
His Way Out of It.
"He don't give nuthln' to the church
now ?"
"No. Somebody told him the Bible
"ays salvation Is 'free.' an' he says flit
be It from him to dispute the Scrip
tores!"— Atlanta Constitution.

Plucky Football Player.
Burton Miller, right guard on the
Norfolk (Conn.) football team, Is the
j pluckiest man playing the game In
| Connecticut this season. On a recent
Saturday Miller had four ribs frac
tured, but played the game out before
| seeing a doctor. The other day, when
I Norfolk met Torrlngton, Miller sur
! prised players and rooters of the Nor
i folk eleven by appearing in togs for
I the fray, ne played right guard in
both halves. Norfolk lost by a score of
5 to 0, but It was not Miller's fault.
Disappearing Home Life.
The fiat dweller ought not to keep a
j dog. prefers not to keep a cat, cannot
j have a garden, has no chance of keep
j lng house, has no possible place for
I memories and, most emphatic of all,
| has no use or accommodation for
; babies. Although it may be possible
to make homes without kittens or
j bnbles or flowers or memories or
! cupboards, the spirir of home is hard
! to woo and win without any of them. —

Old Laws.
| There still exists in London a bylaw
| which forbids a cask of beer to be un-
J loaded between certain hours, but no
| mention Is made of casks containing
i uny other liquor.
Lucerne has on Its statute books a
J law which is not enforced. It prohib
j Its hats of more than eighteen Inches
In diameter, forbids the use of artifl
| clal flowers and imported feathers and
j orders that a license of 75 cents a year
I shall be paid for the right to wear rib
' bons or silk or gauze.
Waiters on Horseback.
I In great French houses of days gone
j by dinner was announced by the blow
ing of hunting horns, and It Is on rec
ord that at certain gain feasts the
dishes were brought In by servants In
full armor mounted upon caparisoned
horses, a practice we could only look
for during the reign of chivalry. Of
the attendants at dinner the carver and
server took precedence over all the
others. They stood probably on each
Bide of their lord. The server, It may
be mentioned, was the officer who
nlaced the dishes on the table.
Then She'll Tell You.
"Tell me," said the lovesick youth,

"Marry her." replied Perkbam

There is more Catarrh in this sect
ion of the country than all other dis
eases pnt together, and until the last
I few years was supposed to be inenr
jable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre
i eoribed local remedies, and by con
j Htantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incnrahle.Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Cat
arrh Core.mauufctnred by F. J. Chen
ey & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional core on the market. It
is taken internally iu doses from 10
drops to a teaspoouful. It acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the Bystem. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re
sponsible for much sickness and suffering,
H vj. _ therefore, if kidney
VTjvJsk trouble is permitted to
continue, serious re-
SzyyTO'Vtiitiy suits are most likely
to follow. Your other
Vl organs may need at
\J 1 tention, but your kid-
I neys most, because
/ Li) AUyP they do most and
"jP" should have attention
. >6 first. Therefore, when
your kidneys are weak or out of order,
you can understand how quickly your en
tire body is affected and how every organ
seems to fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. A trial will con
vince you of its great merit.
The mild an<l immediate effect of
Swamp-Root, the great kidney and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest because its remarkable
health restoring properties have been
proven in thousanefs of the most distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. <
