Pitt atrtat, Alexandria, Va., aaya: "My back burt me terri bly, I bad sharp, abootlng palna, changing to a dull, dragging; ache. I could not stand tor any length ot time and my back hurt me when I sat down. My tect and ankles were badly swollen every, evening and my stomach was out of .order.

In regions where there are no brooks or lakes birds must some times fly mile for a drink. A pan shallow enough for wading, or a deeper one supplied with stones for the drinkers to stand on safely, fur bishes more Interesting sights to a household, and pure fun, than any other object you can watch through out the season. Children enjoy It keenly. Sixty-nine different species of birds, many rare warblers and migrants' among them, came In one season to drink In a suburban barn, although a tiny, aggressive wren felt cocksure that he alone owned that basin. Deafness Cannot Be Cored bylocal applications as theycannot reach the diseased portion ot the ear. There is only one way to cure denf ness, nnd that is by consti tutional remedies.

It may be worthy of note, In con nection with President Roosevelt's Journey on the Mississippi, that the first steamboat voyage on that river was made by a Roosevelt Nicholas J. Roosevelt of New York, one of Fulton's most useful and gifted asso ciates. Tho steamboat was built at Pittsburg under Mr. Roosevelt's di rections, and was ready for Its Jour ney In September, 1811. Mr. Roose velt was accompanied on his Journey by his wife, to whom he had been recently married. The stoamer was called New Orleans, and Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt were received at dif- " ferent places along their route with an enthusiasm not less than that which President Roosevelt has been greeted. The ptoneer steamer reach New Orleans safely, and ran for 'seme years between that city and Natchez. It was an enterprise that called for indomitable courage and energy, which Nicholas J. Roosevelt evidently possessed In no less de- ree than his Illustrious namesake. The Pitfalls of Language. Critics who dwell In glass houses are seldom afraid to throw stones. Dr. Samuel Johnson, who was not afraid of anything, except, perhaps, the foolishness of Boswell, cast tones at writers who used the re dundant phrase "from whence," and forthwith used It himself. Prof. Lounsbury of Yale, who knows more bout usage among writers than any body, writes In the November Har per's Magazine of the "Cause of Expletives," and points to the good old doctor's Inconsistency In . using the expletive "form" as a passing moral to purists and others. Milton ays "Ascend up" In Paradise Lost; we say, . "Hurry up" In everyday speech. Chaucer said, "All his whole heart;" and Shakespeare says In As You Like It, "To fight the animals and kill them up. Prof. Lounsbury o considers the usage ot the Brds "up" or 'upon," which is a pit- an areaaea uy many. TAKE THEM OUT Xr Feed Them Food They Cimi Study On. ..- When a student begins to break lawn from lack of the rieht kind ot food, there are only two things to do; either take him out of school or feed him properly on food that will rebuild the brain and nerve cells. That food la Grape-Nuts. ., : A boy writes from Jamestown, N.Y., saying: "A short time ago I got into a bad condition from overstudy, but Mother having heard about Grape Nuts food began to feed me on it. It satisfied my hunger better than any Other food, and the results were mar velous.' I got flashy like a good fel low. My nsual morning headaches disappeared, and I found I could tudy for a long period without feel ing the effects of It. NUa " P..tn , V 1 I - Spow round and has considerable i "color. After I had been using Grape NUts for about two months i felt like a new boy altogether. I have gained y reatly in strength as well as flesh, f and it is a pleasure to study now that I am not bothered with my bead. I passed all of my examinations with a reasonably good percentage, extra good in some ot them, and it is Grape-Nuts that has saved me from a year's delay in entering college. "Father and mother have both been Improved by the use of Urape Nuts. Mother was troubled with V, epless nights, and got very thin, sui-looked care worn. She has gained her normal strength and looks, anl sleeps welt nights." There's a Reason." Read "The Road WellvUle," Y in pkgs. "Divorce V Society Doomed if Christianity Cannot Grip J yi Hold of Family Problem. ft y ; Ey Professor Shatter Mathews, Dean of the University of Chicago Divinity School, and Editor ot The Pelitrious World. r HERE U a tendency that gives beauty to T to break down our civilization and the sanctity of the iam- I ily. If the relations of man and woman are to be merely K those ot animals then we are going backward In our evolu- tion. I do not see any help for any Christianity that docs not face this problem squarely. If Christianity cannot grip hold of this family problem and get the spirit of Chrlstiaulty Into the lowest group of our civilization, then Boclety Is doomed and marrluge ties will be turned into mere conventionalities and re lations respectable enough, but Increasingly un christian. Divorce Ib Increasing with alarming rapidity. The conditions are much the same today as In the days of Jesus, when He forbade divorce, although it had become so common that a man might divorce his wife merely because she was not a good enough cook. So with us, the family has become a mere conventionality and a matter of personal convenience. There are many young men and women who are growing up with the Idea that marriage, while It may not be simultaneously, at least may be successively, polyandrous and polyga mous. You hear of divorces because of "incompatabillty of temper." Is "incora patablllty of temper" possible In a Christian family? We fall to take our family relations with pufflclent seriousness. We go Into family relations with the same sangfroid that we go on a picnic. One of tho moulders of public opinion In my own city, a leading newspa per, gave coupons that entitled the lio.'.'itfts to free passes to St. Joseph, Mich., where they could be married easily. Was that not a prostitution of the whole business to yellow Journalism? What shall we say of the whole mat ter of courtship? I heard a minister say once: "I never heard a sermon on getting engaged," but one pulpit In Boston Is going to treat of this topic. This indifference to the things that we do not talk about, or at least hesitate to talk about. Is the source of many of the dangers ot our social life. We find I difficult, I fear, to bring tho great principles of Jesus down to tie small duties of life. It Is so much easier to write books about child training than it is to bring up boys and girls. In this Bmall matter of tho family there Is a vast opportunity for Chris tian common sense. Our Christian legislation .presupposes Christian people. We have need of better laws on divorce, we need better protection for chil dren, but it Is the business of the church to see that we have not merely bet ter legislation, but better people. A Warning Against Hypnotism Ey Benjamin S. Dean. tMT YPNOTISM Is a violation of a law ot nature; it Is a brain t X paralysis and tho substitution of the mind of the op- erator fcr that of the patient, and even In those Instances I in which the mind of the operator is pure and wholesome J. I I there Ut a breaking down ot the barriers Intended lor tho protection ot the Individual's own being and an exposing of T T his inmost self to the less scrupulous operator who may r ! come afterward, in other woras, Hypnotism is a aesiruc tive process; it obscures the Individual, takes from him the God given right to work out his own problems In life and places that power In tho hands of another;- and no mere temporary physical alleviation can pos sibly Justify any man, woman or child surrendering to the hypnotic control ot any other human being. That Is a prostitution not of the body, but of tho soul, and the physician who encourages this practice is assuming a responsi bility which no man with a proper appreciation of the divine right of Individ ual, responsible life would ever undertake. AH constructive pewer Is poten tial for good; all destructive power Is dedicated to evil, and hypnotism does not build up the Individual soul or body; li deadens the sensibilities of the Indi vidual and gives place to the potent will of the operator. Every experiment simply weakens the victim's power of resistance, leaving hlin open te assaults upon his vital forces from every mountebank who may choose to experiment upon him. Tho physician who resorts to hypnotism may produce temporary results which are apparently beneficial, but ho Is laying the foundation for the disin tegration of the personal ego and Is working a wrong against himself and his victim. Every Intelligent man, woman and child should refuse to sanction such practice; It Is deadly In lis effects and can do no permanent good. r The Art of Approach By O. S. Marden. TVWf TT HERE is Just he much of an art in approaching people prop erly as In approaching a landscape to get the best possible effect. We are all more or less animals, and we do not like to have the fur rubbed the wrong way. It is a great art to know 'how to approach p. ople so as to make tho best possible impression, and not arouse their antagonism, or prejudice them against us at the very outset One needs to be a good Judge of human nature, and to have a great deal -of tact, in order to approach a person through the right IT avenue. One should cultivate the art cf reading character at first sight Some people know at a glance what road to take to get Into a stranger's confidence. They walk right in without hindrance, while others, without tact, art or knowledge of human nature, cannot enter at all, or only with great difficulty. There Is nothing else which will create such a good Impression upon a stranger, as a sunny face, a cheerful, gracious manner. All doors fly open, all barriers disappear before the sunny soul. Ho does not need to use a crowbar to make a way for himself. The doors open for him, and be Is as welcome everywhere as the sunshine. He does not need an introduction. His face and his manner are introduction enough, and as for confidence, such .people carry a letter of credit in their faces. You cannot help believing In them and trusting them implicitly the first time yon see them. From Success. sir timtr1a To fiu The Rev. Dr. G. Stanley Hall. President of N Q2fyffSSr Clark Universliy. s,filrc) HERE is a growing tendency to celibate lite. From an ex haustive study ot the statistics of graduates of nine of our oldeft colleges for men and four for women, it appears that ten years after graduation about one-fourth of the men and one-half of the woman remain unmarried. T H Young men and women, especially those In easy cir cumstances, delay, deliberate, weigh the attractions of single 'J and wedded life, consider social and even pecuniary pros and cons until tho golden dawn ot youth advances to the high noon of maturity, and In Herbert Spencer's phrase, "The motives that make for individuation become too strong for those that make for genesis." When man has as fully domesticated himself by civilization as be has do mesticated the animals, the voire of tbe medical profession will be heard upon this problem of tbe national ir.d racial economy. Those with most grounds for pride In their own an cunt ry should feel most keenly their obligations to transmit the sacred torch of life undimmed to future generations.

More Pay snd Food One Way Re store Canteen Another, In his annual report to the war de partment Major-Gen. A. W. Greeley, commanding the northern division, discusses at length his Investigations which were directed toward solving the problem of how to obtain better enlisted men and how to keep them, how to prevent the gradually Increas ing number of desertions nnd to ob tain a greater proportion of re-cnllst-ments and how to reduce the number of court-martials. Much of the report Is devoted to tho subject of desertions. Gen. Gree ley gives ten principal causes of de sertion, arranged In the order of their Importance as determined by the In vestigations of thlrty-slx selected or ganization commanders, by 138 bat tery, company and troop command ers and 136 flrst sergeants at the va rious posts of the division. The caus es of desertion are given as follows: Small pay, especially for non-commissioned officers, and high wages la civil life. Lack of canteen, and resultant troubles in dives surrounding army posts. Low standard and general worthless ness of recruits such as only can be obtained under the present conditions In the army. Excessive amount of non-mllltary work. Hardships Incurred during long practlce marches, especially those oc-. currlng weekly. Difficulties arising from bad habits. Failure of recruits to appreciate the obligations of a contract and their Ig norance of the character of the crime of desertion. Probable Immunity from punish ment for desertion and belief that lit tle effort will be made to capture them. Almost universal hostile attitude ot civilians toward the army uniform. Isolation of certain posts and con sequent lack of amusements. Analyzing these ten causes Gen. Greeley finds that they are divisible Into three classes: First Those and they are the moEt Important which can be re moved only by congressional legisla tion. Their correction, he contends, requires an Increase of pay, the res toration of the canteen, the granting of extra duty pay abroad and more liberal pay at home, appropriations liberal enough to provide ample means of recreation and frequent In terchange between Isolated and desir able posts, severer laws regarding de sertion and Increase of rations and al lowances. He declares that the army as a whole Is Insufficiently and Im properly fed, tho men earning scarce ly over BO cents a day nil told, and re ceiving poorer rations than the poor est' unskilled laborer has who earns In civil life from $1 to $3 a day. Second Causes within the control of the war department The only one under this head Is the matter of practice marches, remedy for which is now under consideration, although Gon. Greeley says possibly there might be eomo reduction ot non-mill-tary work by neglecting the appear ance of posts. Gen. Greeley discov ered a year ago that the practice marches were an undue hardship on the men and recommended that they be abolished. Third Strictly moral causes which cannot be radically remedied. The general refers to vicious and immor al tendencies found In all communi ties. In view ot the fact that 63 percent of desertions occur during the flrst year of service Gen. Greeley reaches the conclusion that most desertions of recruits would be obviated it re cruits could bo discharged on appli cation after one year's service. He also recommends that the period of enlistment be increased to five years. Gen. Greeley strongly advises a campaign on congres for Increase of pay of officers, which he. declares Is badly needed In all branches and all grades. He Is An Unpictured Beauty. Whoever . has bad the privilege of lying at full length on some mossy overhanging bank while watching a large trout in his lair, perceives that a true figure has yet to be drawn of him. Even photography can give no hint of the wavy circles from the spotted dorsal fin undulating loosely athwart tbe broad back; of the per petual fanning of the pectoral fins, of the capacious gills opening and clos ing, the half open round mouth, the luminous brown eye, the ceaseless slow vibration of the powerful tall; nor can pen adequately describe the startling suddenness of the dart at some idle fly touching the surface, the quick return to the old position and the resumption of the poise with bead elevated at a slight angle, pec torals all tremulous, and floating, wat ery circles emanating from every slight motion of the body. It is al so worth while to watch a trout rush four feet up a perpendicular fall of water, pause, tremble violently all over, and In a moment throw himself clear of the stream and fall Into the basin above ,at an elevation ot about three feet more.

Of course, outside of the Independ ent and salaried professional Inven tors Is the great army of men who, while actually engaged in occupa tions emhraclng every line ot human endeavor, develop new Ideas, often of great value and Just as often al together out of their line of regular work. An Inquiry into the personalities of a few dozen Inventors to whom patents havq been granted during tho last year, shows ome remarkable facts, says The Engineering Maga zine. Among them a sea captain has patented a steering gear' for automo biles, while a carriage builder has Invented a ship's capstan. A blacksmith has papers for a fishing reel, a shoemaker for a type writer, a physician for a door lock and an undertaker for a hoisting derrick, and many others show just as strange deviation from their regu lar walks of life. Wasps Do Good. Wasps prey on flies a fact which Is well known in Italy. On any sum mer or early autumn day in the Tus can country parts, when the luncheon table is blackened by flies, one may cee a wasp sail in at the open win dow, select a fly, roll it over, curl it up and carry it out into the sun shine and soon return for another.
